Zheng Er goes to talk with Tai Bu and the Queen. They ask her if she really loves Si Ye. She says yes, but he is in love with Xue Wu. She doesn't feel as if she has a chance. Tai Bu gives her a pouch amulet and says that if she puts this under Xue Wu's bed, then Si Ye will stop loving Xue Wu and love Zheng Er. They tell her that they will give Zhen Er the opportunity, all she has to do is wait. They give her a hairpin and tell her that they want the best for her. The next day, Zheng Er Xue Wu takes Zheng Er's hands and tells Zheng Er that Zheng Er will be the one who will be Si Ye's wife in this competition. He usually cares more for others and not for himself. You have to watch out for him. He's been on his own since he was six and he's a very lonely person. So in the future, please be by his side as much as you can. After the wedding, if you could take him away from the problems of the palace. If you can take him to live in the mountains then that would be great, because his greatest wish is to live peacefully. My greatest wish is that you will replace me in taking care of him. I know you will be better than me, because I know you will be much better than I for him. Si Ye is about to leave after addressing Zheng Er's Wound. Zheng Er asks if Si Ye can stay for her. Si Ye has to let her down and says he has to go back. She asks "Do you really dislike me that much? Si Ye asks, "Do you know what "to like" means? Even a few hours feel like years when I don't see her." Zheng asks if he means Xue Wu? Zheng Er asks if its because she can't compare well to Xue Wu ? Si Ye says no, "No! No! It's her that can't compare well to you. She's not as polite as you, not as well versed in customs, not as refined. But... it is her shadow that's imprinted on my heart. It's her that I dream about at night. When I wake up I want to see her. I want her to call me Si Ye, I want her to argue and fight with me. I have no idea how to handle her sometimes. Why did I fall in love with this kind... this kind of girl that I can't control? I have no idea. But I'm sorry, I only love her. Zheng Er asks if he'll really disobey imperial edict for Si Ye. He says yes, he has handled the Wife Choosing competition but he won't marry. If he marries anyone, it would not be fair to that person and it wouldn't be fair to Xue Wu. Zheng Er is stunned. News arrives that Xue Wu has been drugged and kidnapped from the village. Si Ye rushes away. Zheng Er realizes that this is the opportunity and slips away to put the pouch amulet in Xue Wu's room. Meanwhile grandmother is looking into the future and realizes that people are trying to kill Xue Wu and Si Ye. She tells Xiao Dong that Xue Wu needs to leave now. Si Ye and An De Wang tracks down the kidnapper, who tells them that there is gold for Xue Wu's life. Si Ye kills the assassin in rage and takes Xue Wu back, getting injured in the process. They go back and Si Ye tells everyone not to mention the even to the still drugged Xue Wu. Xue Wu wakes up as Si Ye sits by her. She grabs her head in pain and asks what happened. Si Ye lies and said that she drank wine instead of water and then she fell asleep. She says he's lying! He looks stunned and she continues to say, " Whenever I drink I do stupid things, I never just fall asleep. So what did I do?" Si Ye says that she just slapped him, she didn't say anything. She smiles in relief and mock punches him in the side (where he was injured by the assassin) and he doubles over in pain. She asks what's wrong and he lies that he was injured while practicing with his sword. Si Ye leaves. Xiao Dong comes in and tells Xue Wu that they have to leave, her grandmother wants her to leave now. Si Ye and An De Wang realizes that the Crown Prince and his faction are the ones behind the assassination. Si Ye says that he's scare that he can't look at Xue Wu's safety objectively. He wonders if it's the correct choice to let Xue Wu leave. Tai Bu hears from Zheng Er that the pouch has been put in Xue Wu's bed. They proceed with the plan. Xue Wu has prepared the things and Xiao Dong asks if they should go say goodbye to Si Ye. Xue Wu replies that if she sees Si Ye then she'll never leave. They get to the gate and Xue Wu looks back at the house, crying. Xiao Dong opens the door to find Si Ye. Si Ye walks to Xue Wu and asks why is she leaving without saying goodbye. She's crying as she says that she can't leave if she went to find him. He says that once he had told her that he never really had anything to call his own. Her leaving now leaves him with nothing again. She cries harder and tells him not to say that. She has to leave he knows that she doesn't belong here. He says that perhaps its for the best. He probably is fated to belong to someone else, tomorrow is the last day of the Wife Choosing Competition. He probably has to choose Zheng Er. He tells her that she doesn't have to be burdened by their marriage. She can see it as a act, from now on she and him will not be connected. She tells him live well in a small voice. He stands behind her and slips the jade pendant in her bag. She nods, and leaves. In the carriage she finds the pendant and starts crying. An De Wang asks why, and Si Ye replies, "Xue Wu at my side, its too dangerous for her. The next day, Tai Bu goes to the king and tells him that Si Ye is going to revolt against him. Si Ye has even hired a Shaman to perform spells to weaken the king's power. Since the shaman is dead, the only evidence against Si Ye is that the Shaman had left an amulet in Si Ye's house. The king is angered and tells Tai Bu to go and find the evidence. They find the yellow amulet pouch in Xue Wu's room, and bring Si Ye to the king. Tai Bu says that this is the evil amulet, and that Si Ye wants to become king. Tai Bu says that Xue Wu is a witch who had been using spells that caused the King the chronic headaches. Since Xue Wu is gone and no one can explain the amulet pouch. The King orders Si Ye to be imprisoned and executed on treason and witchcraft. Zheng Er accuses Tai Bu of tricking her and making up the whole thing. She wants to tell the king about Tai Bu and the Queen's evil plot but Tai Bu causes her to faint. Now he has the only person who can prove Si Ye is innocent. I couldn't care more or less for the evil people in this show. Mainly because they are as about effective as overcooked noodles. I can't spend more than five seconds on the evil people when the main characters are still in the throes of self doubt and betting against each other. Xue Wu's unwavering belief that she is not the ONE and Si Ye's noble idiocy are enough to deal with in one episode. Though I have to admit. The goodbye is effective. I felt the love between the two in that one scene. Usually I follow the story but FSF's gaze as Xue Wu walks out of his life speaks louder than if he had screamed "Don't Go!". As for the whole treason plot, I'm just glad it gets resolved in the next episodes. Ugh, I'm really hating Xue Wu's character. I feel like slapping her a billion times each episode. I hate noble idiocy and I hate her stupid denial. Maybe the reason SY marries that Zhen girl because XW has given up on him. Don't blame everything on a stupid prophecy when you yourself don't have enough confidence and self-esteem to marry the guy. Ugh. I'm seriously considering dropping this because once a noble idiot/stupid character, always a noble idiot.

We are the leading European NGO specialising in growing agriculture, protecting the environment and developing businesses in rural Africa. The World Bank estimates that growth in the agricultural sector is two and a half times more effective at reducing poverty than growth in other sectors. By ensuring farmers have the right tools, seeds and techniques, we help them double or even treble their yields - ending their reliance on food aid and helping them to become self-sufficient. By building links to markets, we help them sell their surplus - so they can afford to send their children to school and reinvest in their land. By training them how to add more value to their produce, we help them build businesses and become rural entrepreneurs - bringing major social and economic benefits to the entire community, country and continent. Farm Africa tests new technologies and trains farmers in them. Success breeds success and once trained farmers pass on their new know-how to others, ensuring our work has an impact well beyond our projects. Our approach is to spread tried-and-tested methods as widely as possible. Although eastern Africa is widely varied in its landscapes and peoples, there are many common farming problems everyone faces. Farm Africa shares knowledge across communities, without the constraint of country borders.We increasingly work on regional projects that are for more than one country.

Verified September 0000 by PD Sander Dijkstra, MD PhD, Leiden University Medical Center. Rationale: Bone metastases arise in 00% of all patients dying of cancer, increasing up to 00% in patients with breast and prostate cancer. The lesions can cause pain and fractures, leading to diminished quality of life and poorer survival. Current knowledge concerning adequate, personalized treatment of metastatic lesions of the long bones in patients with disseminated cancer is insufficient and inconclusive due to lack of large, prospective series with patient reported outcome measures. One of the debatable issues is the effectiveness of postoperative radiotherapy. It has become common practise due to professional opinion, but research evidence is lacking. It is thought that adjuvant radiotherapy improves the durability of an implant, prevents progression of the lesion, promotes bone healing, improves limb function, minimises pain and reduces the need for reoperations, however none of these are certain. Moreover, it is a burden on patient's quality of life (e.g. multiple extra hospital visits) causing toxicity and possible side effects (e.g. skin irritation). The true beneficial effect, weighing up the possible pros and certain cons, of adjuvant radiotherapy is thus unknown. Objective: The PORT study aims to demonstrate the non-inferiority of 'surgery only' compared to surgery with adjuvant radiotherapy as treatment of impending and actual pathological fractures on the pain experienced by patients. Study design: A multicentre, prospective, randomised non-inferiority trial nested within the OPTIMAL study. Study population: All patients with metastases of the long bones undergoing surgery for a(n) (impending) pathologic fracture in the participating centres. Study intervention: One study arm (A) will receive surgery with adjuvant radiotherapy; the other study arm (B) will receive surgery only. Main study parameters/endpoints: Primary endpoint is patient reported pain according to a numeric rating scale (NRS). Clinical functioning, radiological status, complications and survival are secondary endpoints. Pain will measured before treatment and after treatment on an 00-point numeric rating scale for pain. If the score differs more than 0 points between those measuring moments the change in pain is reported as significant. The number of patients in each group with a significant change in pain score will be measured.

I've long predicted that this shift would occur. Gay marriage now seems to have majority support, or close to it, with growth in that support accelerating over time. (A model designed by Nate Silver a couple of years back predicted that even a majority of Kansans won't back a ban in 0000.) I still think that in a generation the Right will try to obscure the fact that it ever opposed Don't-Ask-Don't-Tell. Thoughts? Has conservative elites' discomfort with the issue become a widely-discussed trend? Has such discomfort been talked about in religious Right circles? Has there been violent pushback? I wonder whether some of this could be due to opinions about what makes social change legitimate. Some on the right are more vehemently opposed to the advancement of gay rights by judicial decree than by legislative action or initiative, particularly insofar as the latter is more likely to reflect changes in public opinion. It's often easier to handle losing a policy fight if one feels it was "fair" - e.g. that there was open debate and the democratic process worked, etc. - than if it was imposed by judges. Further, so long as gay rights advanced more in the courts than in legislatures, social conservatives could convince themselves that they represented a "silent majority" of people who feel like they do, but this position is far harder to maintain when the same policies are adopted by elected representatives (as when Congress got rid of DADT). Just a thought. I’ve long predicted that this shift would occur. I wish I could agree with you. But I think you are guilty of projecting Enlightenment values on Talibanic minds. Enlightenment folk care a lot about process; Talibs care only about outcomes. If there are some Enlightenment homophobes around, they might be willing to lose if they think that the process is fair. But "Enlightenment homophobe" has become an oxymoron the last few years. What's left is people who only care about winning, fair or foul, with some preference for foulness because is it manlier. I'm really surprised that social conservatives are willing to concede the gay issue. Did they say why they are giving up the fight or why they think it is a "losing issue for social conservatives"? The fact that gay marriages are occurring (and between ordinary-looking people) and are not threatening heterosexual marriages may have taken the force out of the only "argument" that the opponents of gay marriage ever offered. Benny: They didn't elaborate, but I assume that they read the same polls I do. Public opinion is unfavorable to them on this and is getting less favorable by the month. koreyel: I'm not sure that social conservatives have a hot new idea. They did seem to think, plausibly, that abortion still has some force as an issue-as represents a kind of justice, since there's at least an argument to be joined there, whereas opposition to gay rights is essentially just "ick factor." And there are some signs that young people are less pro-choice on abortion than the generation just above them-not radically, but enough to make conservatives think the cause isn't lost. Brett, can you offer me some kind of explanation for the Ninth Amendment. What does it mean to people like you? Just speculating here, but social conservative elites may be plotting on a five year timeline, while Pawlenty's fate will likely be decided in 00 months, and that difference drives outcomes. It could also be a matter of which conservatives you're talking to. South Carolina and Iowa are pretty religious (although Pawlenty may have decided to write off Iowa). That anything which was understood to be a right at the time the 0th amendment was ratified, but which happened to not be mentioned in the Bill of Rights, is none the less protected. I don't believe it was a license for the courts to invent new rights. Huh. Can you name some of those rights, the ones that are protected but are not in the Bill of Rights? Abortion ... was legal in the United States from the time the earliest settlers arrived. At the time the Constitution was adopted, abortions before "quickening" were openly advertised and commonly performed. In the mid-to-late 0000s states began passing laws that made abortion illegal. There were few laws on abortion in the United States at the time of independence, except the English common law adopted into United States law by Acts of Reception, which held abortion to be legally acceptable if occurring before quickening. ... Various anti-abortion statutes began to appear in the 0000s. What’s that got to do with living constitutionalists, though? For the purpose of this conversation, I don't think it has anything to do with them. I wasn't curious about living constitutionalists - I know, roughly speaking, what they think. I was wondering about the originalists or strict constructionists or whatever. How do they ignore the actual words of the Constitution, or the clear intent behind those words? A simpler explanation for the effect that Jonathan Adler notes: right-wing extremists will want to deprive a minority of equal rights as long as they can get away with it in terms of public opinion; when public sentiment turns and it's no longer (a) politically useful and (b) politically possible to pick on the minority, they stop. pfootball, when you cut them off like that, there's no amusement value remaining. Minnesota just put gay rights denial on the ballot. That doesn't seem to square with ending anti-gay issue mongering. Why, in much the same manor as you beat your wife, (Or maybe husband...) I would presume. I see this argument advanced a lot, but I've never seen proof of it. I don't recall much in the way of right-wingers condemning a court decision which favored *them*. Sorry, Dan Staley. I didn't think Brett would fold so quickly, and I didn't mean to deprive you of amusement. There comes before us, now and then, a case whose proper outcome is so clearly indicated by tradition and common sense, that its decision ought to shape the law, rather than vice versa. That there is a bracing dose of conservative intellectualism. You ARE aware, aren't you, that Scalia vehemently denies being a "strict constructionist"? Pardon, Brett. Please substitute "originalism" for "strict constructionism." Right-wing pathology ain't my bag, and I can't get you to explain it to me. Ooh. I've got a new vocabulary word: "Textualism". Commentators seem to differ on whether Justice Thomas, who signed the Scalia opinion, is a "strict constructionist," but there seems to be general agreement that he's a textualist. Interesting stuff, this conservative intellectualism. I don't suppose you heard a single speaker say anything like this, Andrew?

Back in the late 0000s, in my post-college, early New York City days, I was obsessed with a sci-fi / crime TV series called The Pretender. The conceit, though contrived, drew me in: an underground organization had kidnapped a child genius with the prodigious ability to impersonate anyone, and used his powers for their own evildoings. He finally escaped, and spent his adult years both hiding from his captors and using his powers for good rather than for evil. Imagine Quantum Leap without the time travel and the gender-bending. It was fascinating to watch the "Pretender" himself, Jarod, do a bit of research - read a manual, surf some websites, examine some diagrams - and then perform surgery, fix a car, fly a plane, whatever, as he took on any number of identities and professions, all while pursuing his real parents, discovering his past, and fighting injustices along the way, disappearing as quickly as he'd arrived. He was the perfect superhero. He was everybody. And therefore, he was nobody. It's a dream role for an actor: to lose yourself in a character who loses himself in infinite identities. Who am I this time? As an actor, you have to be able to do almost anything that gets thrown your way. Can I rollerskate? Of course I can rollerskate. Speak in a Persian accent. Bawk like a chicken. Kiss. Kill. But good actors who can't get acting work too often waste their impersonating skills on a number of mindless jobs that are merely meant to fill the gaps: bartender, server, sales clerk, maybe copyeditor, housepainter, even real estate agent or cook. One job allows them to bide time until they get the other. Although I've been an aspiring actor since childhood, I've refused to go the bartender route. I've refused to go camping in the woods in the rain for some NYU student film I'm not getting paid for. I've refused to be a starving artist. Instead, I've lived my life as an actor, taking on wildly different roles, improvising my way through unpredictable situations, impersonating the people I'm supposed to be. Am I a classical music expert? No. Can I sell classical music to the casually curious as a trusted authority? Yes. Am I an attorney? No. Can I sue you, get a judgment in my favor, and collect the money I'm owed? Yes. Draft, redline, and negotiate the best possible contract? Definitely. Was I trained to do so?...Not exactly. But I have observed. I've read. I've studied people and their behaviors. I've adopted their language. I know what it means. Of course I can rollerskate. This makes my day job resume somewhat confusing to recruiters and potential employers. In a time of specialization, I am a generalist. I can both strategize and execute. I can both create and budget. I can sell sponsorships and services and products. I am digital and physical. Theoretical and tactical. A full-course dinner. Sometimes I am reticent to take on a job because I don't actually know (yet) how to do it. I don't like to play a game I can't win; I don't like to respond to a question unless I'm certain of a correct answer. But as an actor, you have to be willing to take risks. You have to be willing to just try it. Just try something. As a pleasant surprise, almost everything I've tried, at least professionally, has worked. And now I know how to be a meeting facilitator, professionally and officially. I realized I'd very much held that role informally in nearly every meeting I'd ever attended throughout my career - speaking on behalf of the impartial, common goal rather than of my own needs - but its value had never before been acknowledged. Until now, it had never been deemed necessary. I'd never been compensated for it specifically. When you're acting, there's a moment when the cameras are off, when production has wrapped, when picture has locked, that your job is done. The role is over. You have to go back to being yourself. But when one of my contracts ends, the project completed, the job done, there's nothing for me to go back to. Only on to the next thing. On The Pretender, Jarod would always say, "I don't know who I am." He wasn't running away from himself; he was looking for himself. I think I know who I am. I think I know all these things I am so far, the personalities and job titles and functionalities and capabilities and talents and interests and adventures and exploits that I've mortared together in some crazy folk art mosaic castle of myself. I just don't know who I'm not. Who will I never be? And when will it stop?

The good news is that whether you love to dyno already or you've never popped for a hold in your life (yet), SAID rules in training power just like it does for all other climbing training aspects (please try not to get bored with SAID - I'm going to keep beating you over the head with it for a while longer). This means that if you want to challenge your current power level, you need to push it higher by training specifically to this end. Can you do this with weights? Yes...well, sort of. Strength training, which I discussed in WI 0, will definitely yield a gain in your power potential and is a cornerstone of improving your power. Another great and succinct statement from the same Naturally Intense blog entry quoted yesterday says simply, "...you can be strong and not powerful but you can't be powerful without a certain base of strength as the two are very directly related." This is why it can be so very helpful to regularly spend a chunk of time training strength in your areas of weaknesses with weights or other resistance methods - because if you have little, no, or simply not enough of a strength base to build upon for the moves you want to perform, trying to build power on those moves can be a painstakingly slow and ineffective/inefficient process, potentially leading to overtraining, injury or burnout. (Read "The Importance of Strength for Enhanced Explosiveness" for more on how strength training contributes to your ability to generate power). But let's say you already do have the strength base for the moves/level of climbing you're attempting, whether from a smart resistance training program or from climbing or from a bit of both. When you're aiming to build power, one option is to transition to using lighter weights than your strength-training levels and attempt to "dyno" the weights, or move them more explosively, optimally in climbing-relevant motions. Campus boards can help with training this type of motion, too, but only if you're strong enough to campus correctly without getting hurt - and they may help you develop better timing and contact strength while also teaching you to recruit and deliver explosive power. And plyometric workouts for legs can help you strengthen and get used to the prospect of using your legs to help generate explosive movements in climbing as well. However, though I've experimented with all of these outside-of-climbing power-training methods, I've come to believe that at least for me, alongside training with weights to build my strength up, that the majority of my time is more efficiently and effectively spent by training this strength-related skill (power) in a direct climbing context - both by repetitively practicing dynamic and power-sapping moves and sequences of moves, as well as deliberately moving through difficult climbing sequences more quickly and explosively, both in the gym and on real rock.

Over 00 million people visit Georgia each year, for business, leisure and tourism. In southeastern Georgia, the Atlantic Ocean attracts throngs of beach-goers each summer. The low-lying southern parts of the state are fringed with swamps, including the massive Okefenokee. The terrain gently rises to the north and west, and the state's principal city, Atlanta, sits just to the south of the Appalachian and Blue Ridge Mountains. These mountains rise to over 0,000 feet, drawing hikers, climbers and other outdoor enthusiasts. Georgia's relatively significant size and diverse topography mean that the climate varies in different parts of the state. Georgia falls into the same climate classification category, humid subtropical, as most of the southeastern United States. This climate type features mild winters, comfortable spring and autumn temperatures, but long, hot and steamy summers. As its name implies, high humidity characterizes the humid subtropical climate type, which makes temperatures feel even warmer. Precipitation amounts vary annually but tend to be substantial, ranging from an average of 00 inches in the southern lowlands to 00 inches in the mountains. The northern mountains, particularly the higher elevations, experience the coldest average temperatures in the state, while the far south has the overall highest temperatures. Most of Georgia becomes sweltering in the summertime, as tropical air streams into the state unabated. The high temperature in the hottest months of the year, July and August, average in the low 00s Fahrenheit in the south and coastal areas, the upper 00s to near 00 in the Atlanta vicinity and the mid to upper 00s in the mountains. Overnight lows average in the low 00s in the south and on the coast, near 00 in Atlanta, and the 00s in the mountains. Occasional thunderstorms provide the bulk of summer rainfall, except for precipitation from tropical storms and hurricanes in late summer. Such systems occasionally directly strike Georgia's Atlantic coast, but more often their remnants track into the state from Alabama, Florida and South Carolina. Winters are mild throughout the state, although temperatures exhibit considerable geographic variation. In January and February, daily highs in the south and along the southeast coast average in the low to mid-00s, highs around Atlanta average in the mid-00s, and highs in the mountains top out only around 00. Overnight lows hover near 00 in the south and on the coast, the low to mid-00s around Atlanta and the upper 00s in the mountains. Flurries and light snow usually fall in northern Georgia a few times per year, but the chance of seeing snow decreases further south. Measurable snowfall or ice accumulations are rare but are far more likely in the mountains than elsewhere in the state. March and April feature pleasant temperatures, with highs in the 00s and 00s to the south and 00s and 00s to the north, it is a great time to see the new flowers. Temperatures begin to creep up in May, with highs averaging in the low 00s throughout much of the state. Severe thunderstorms can occur in spring, occasionally producing hail and sometimes even spawning tornadoes. April is usually the rainiest month of the year. Most of the state is still hot in September, with highs in the mid-00s. But temperatures drop rapidly, with highs averaging in the 00s in October and the 00s in November when it is great to see the fall foliage. And in the fall, as in late summer, tropical storms and hurricanes can impact the state. Harris, Amy. "Climate in Georgia."

Alpha is a series of sessions exploring the Christian faith in a relaxed, non-threatening, but thought-provoking way. Each week looks at a different question around faith and is designed to create conversation. Alpha is run across the world, and everyone's welcome. It takes place in lots of different settings - cafés, churches, universities, homes, and many more! No two Alphas look the same, but generally they have three key things in common: food, a talk or video, and good conversation. We run a Course each autumn and sometimes at other times of the year, usually on Thursday evenings for nine or ten weeks. Our Summer 0000 Course begins on Thursday 00 April, kicking off with a meal, a glass of wine and a chat, followed by a brief presentation about what will be covered on the Course. Feel free to bring a friend, relative or work colleague with you. On the Course itself, which starts on 0 May and runs weekly until early July, we start with a meal each week, then there's a short talk or video followed by discussion in small groups. You can find out more about Alpha here. For many people in our church, taking part has been a really important way of finding faith or coming back to faith. If you'd like to find out about a future Course please e-mail us for further information. The Marriage Course aims to help couples grow closer and build a healthy relationship that will last for a lifetime. It's designed for all couples, however long or short a time they've been together, and whether they feel they already have a strong relationship or are struggling. While the course is based on Christian principles, it's designed for couples with or without a Christian faith. Many couples who aren't churchgoers have commented that the Christian content was presented in a way that didn't make them feel at all uncomfortable. We run this six week course periodically. Each evening starts with coffee and dessert, followed by a talk on the theme for the evening. You will then spend the rest of the time talking with each other as a couple about things relating to the theme. During the Course you will think and talk about building strong foundations, the art of communication, resolving conflict, the power of forgiveness, the impact of family, intimacy and love in action. Your discussion will be private to you, and there won't be any group work. While there may be some homework to do, to help you build on what you've learnt and to give you the opportunity to apply it to your relationship, no-one else will see it and it's just for your benefit. You can find out more about The Marriage Course here. If you'd like to find out about a future Course please e-mail us for further information.

Certain metal products can be produced only by powder metallurgy; among these products are materials whose porosity is controlled. Successful production by powder metallurgy depends on the proper selection and control of process variables: powder characteristics; powder preparation; type of compacting press; design of compacting tools and dies; type of sintering furnace; composition of the sintering atmosphere; choice of production cycle, including sintering time and temperature; and secondary operations and heat treatment. When the application of a powder metallurgy part requires high levels of strength, toughness, or hardness, the mechanical properties can be improved or modified by infiltration, heat treatment, or a secondary mechanical forming operation such as cold re-pressing or powder forging. The article also discusses the effect of the secondary processes on P/M mechanical properties.

0th Mountain Mist finish, one more for the coveted 00 time finisher jacket. If you're a Huntsville local, chances are you first learned about the sport of ultrarunning in connection with the Mountain Mist 00K. As one of the oldest ultramarathons in the Southeastern United States and now in its 00th year, the Mountain Mist is still considered one of the toughest by many. It may not have the most vert, but every year trail runners are humbled when they attempt to finish this race. Every year, a slew of new Mountain Misters take off at the start gun at paces that resemble that of a 0K road race and this year as no different. That usually comes back to bite them, maybe not after 00 miles, the unofficial halfway point of the race, when they ran past or jump over the red gate at the Fearn Street crossing, but certainly at mile 00ish, when they start their climb up Waterline Trail. And if they still aren't humbled, they certainly will be by the time they make their way up Crybaby Hill or the final climb to the top of Rest Shelter. Hey, I'm not judging, it took me multiple times to figure out that even though the first half is actually very runnable, it still has nearly 0000ft of vert over 00 miles, which makes the second "half" or remaining 00 miles and 0000ft of vert over 0 major climbs even more challenging, if you failed to hold back a little on the front end. Luckily, It only took me 0 finishes to learn to latch on to "the" veteran of this race, let's call him DeWayne, who is like the metronome of the Mountain Mist. If you want to see what consistent pacing looks like, just watch DeWayne. He's not only one of the fastest runners ever to run the Mountain Mist (0 wins speak for themselves), he also one of the smartest. Oh yeah, he also makes for great conversation on the trails. While many of us get humbled by this race, we come back over and over and over again and it's not just for the coveted 00 time finisher jacket, it much deeper than that. It's a family reunion, but not just for local runners, it's a reunion of runners from around the Southeast. I spend more time catching up with runners before and after the race than I actually do running the race. That is not an exaggeration. It is the reason this is my favorite race year after year. It is also the most important race for me. Whether I have trained for it nor not, I never ever not put it all out there. There is nothing more fun than to race your friends whom you usually train with the rest of the year. Just over half way in and still in good spirits. This year marked my ninth start and finish and while it was fun, it is never easy. In December, I had some grand ambitions of trying to run a personal best. This goal did not change until the weekend before the race, when I bruised a rib during a trail run and woke up with a head cold the following day. Not a great omen for a PR attempt. Feeling sluggish all week, I finally admitted to myself that a PR was out of the question. I entered race weekend with a slightly adjusted goal still ready to run as hard as possible. The plan was to save some on the front half to see how I would have some left in the tank in the latter part of the race to push the pace. I am happy to report that plan worked out for the most part, anyway. After some start line banter and the loud bang of the start signal, we were off. Having run this race 0 times, you kind of fall in with the same group of runners year after year. This year was no different. Even though DeWayne was running with a torn meniscus, he still set the perfect pace. The first few miles went by fairly quickly and were rather uneventful. I tried to make sure not to raise my heart rate too much too early. That also meant hiking rather than running some of the stepper sections of the hills. I cruised into the 00 mile aid station at red gate feeling pretty good and still on target to hit my A goal for the day. The tried and true formula requires you to double your red gate split to come up with your approximate finishing time. If you end up much slower than that, then you most definitely started the race too fast. I was still running by feel. In fact, I checked my time for the first time at red gate AS. I continued to drink a bottle of fluids in between aid stations and take one gel every 00 minutes. I chased that with a couple of SCaps every hour, which kept me fueled evenly and cramp free all day. My pace would fluctuate only very lightly. I would zone out and slow my pace, mostly on the High Trail and Bluffline Trail sections. Eventually, I would snap out of it and pick it back up again. By the time I reached the top of Waterline trail, I started the smell the barn. Another 00K and this thing would be done. I had some renewed energy coming through the Trough Springs AS, but that slowly started to fizzle as I made my way down Natural Well Trail. By the time I reached "slush mile" or the bottom of McKay Hollow Trail, I was ready to be done. One more slow climb up Rest Shelter and all that was left was a 0.0 mile flat stretch to the finish. I declined the beer and chili at the final AS and tried my best to sustain a decent pace. When I finally crossed the finish line, I had reached my A goal and was another step closer to my 00 time finisher jacket. I spent the next 0 hours reminiscing about the day with my trail family. I am already looking forward to 0000 and my 00th finish. Never leave anything in the tank when running your local favorite.

Poly(triazine imide) with incorporated lithium chloride has recently attracted substantial attention due to its photocatalytic activity for water splitting. However, an apparent H/Li disorder prevents the delineation of structure-property relationships, for example, with respect to bandgap tuning. Herein, we show that through a combination of one-and two-dimensional, multinuclear solid-state NMR spectroscopy, chemical modelling, automated electron diffraction tomography, and an analysis based on X-ray pair distribution functions, it is finally possible to resolve the H/Li substructure. In each cavity, one hydrogen atom is bound to a bridging nitrogen atom, while a second one protonates a triazine ring. The two lithium ions within each cavity are positioned between two nitrogen atoms of neighbouring triazine rings. The thereby induced local dipole moments cause slight buckling of the framework and lateral displacements of the Cl- ions at a coherence length below 0 nm. Nevertheless, the average structure conforms to space group P0(0)0(0)0(0). In this way, we demonstrate that, in particular, the above-mentioned techniques allow for smart interplay in delineating the real structure of PTI/LiCl. Mesch, Maria B., et al.

A trip across the river from Vancouver into Oregon found a few folks selling daffodils from the roadside. A beautiful sight after a gray winter. Above you can take your pick of flowers for $0.00 a bunch. Such a deal to bring springtime into your home. I had to use a vehicle pull-off on the highway to take a picture of the mutipaned-window facade. I stepped out of my truck -- wobbled across some slick flat rocks and finally was stopped in my tracks by large twisted brambles. At this point I noticed that the school had a dirt side road. I pulled my small truck out of the pull-off and swung down the road. There were a couple houses down the road. I went down about 000 feet and turned around. This brought me back to the side of the school house where I put on my flashers and took the photo below. I noticed the school bell was still hanging near one of the entrances while an American flag flew from its pole (as seen in the top photo). Two doors indicated to me that the boys usually lined up at one and the girls the other and a posted bird feeder was between them. The clue to its age was on the school's sign affixed in its gable -- along with the school's name, Prindle, with the date 0000. That would make the age of the school about 00 years old. I went home and goggled the school. All the information I could find was that is was located in Skamania County, Washington -- that is was named after a German sailor and that there was a Polish community established nearby in 0000. Today, this is still a lovely quaint school house with I'm sure many stories. Labels: 0000, HIGHWAY 00, OLD SCHOOL HOUSE, PRINDLE SCHOOL, SCHOOL SIGN, SKAMANIA COUNTY, WASHINGTON STATE. into the mountains of Oregon. Last Saturday I took a ride on the Lewis and Clark Highway here in Washington. It runs along the Columbia River. I didn't know what to expect as I had not taken this route before -- I just wanted to find something to photograph as I have been at a loss finding subject matter in Vancouver. I was pleasantly surprised at the beautiful wildness of the area. The day was rainy and very overcast but I still tried to catch some shots of the area. In the photo above I was looking from the Washington side over to the Oregon side when I took this photo of twin Oregon falls that are in abundance along Oregon's river roadway. Oregon and Washington border each other and are separated by the Columbia River. In my bottom photo is the wild type of landscapes one encounters on the highway on the Washington side. I plan on taking in this area again as I only saw a small portion of its beauty. Hopefully I will pick a non-rainy day with some sun. Labels: COLUMBIA RIVER, LEWIS AND CLARK HIGHWAY, WASHINGTON STATE. All photos appear as slices of time. In the scene above I had the feeling that time was standing still -- reflecting a certain loneliness. My photo above of the vacant country house was taken a few years ago when I was living in Kentucky. The owner, who lived nearby, told me the house had belonged to his family -- he shared a few personal memories with me -- about his time spent there as a boy. Yesterday while perusing my files I came upon this photo from the past and was struck by its aura of coldness in addition to its loneliness. As I gazed at it I reached back remembering the personal boyhood memories that the owner shared with me. Time -- stood still at the vacant country house. A photo's slice of time can give us a full range of feelings. Our interpretation is not always right but sometimes it is. Sometimes we know -- for no particular reason -- that something was amiss but we just cannot put our finger on it. Frequently seen along the countryside throughout Madison County, Kentucky during the warm seasons is this vintage style swan planter made of cement. This particular swan planter used to sit on a porch of an elderly man that placed flowers in it every year in memory of his departed wife. He told me the planter was her favorite. This swan sat on his front porch along his curving holler road. Sometimes material objects that we think of as insignificant in our life can become very significant. Lancaster has many early historic homes in original condition. Above is a finely crafted fireplace that dates to around the early to mid 0000s at which time this fireplace would have been crafted by local craftsmen out of virgin timber. I am amazed at the beauty of the workmanship -- cove moldings, shadows of original dental moldings, and line carvings. Revealing the underlying historic paint colors on the fireplace can help preservation efforts in choosing the appropriate paints for the fireplace. At the time I took this photo the whole house was undergoing some preservation work giving it a fresh vitality. Nice to know this fireplace will be remaining to keep the new occupants cozy.

Building handmade houses for Purple Martins became a passion of Mr. Cain during the time he worked at a transfer station in Kentucky. A transfer station is where you take used materials to be transferred to appropriate land fills. While working at the station he noticed a few things; 0) some reusable building materials were being thrown away, 0) early spring arriving Purple Martins were checking out this location for possible nesting sites as it was located in open acreage, and 0) he slowly had become fascinated with the flying martins. So began a sideline of building martin houses that he placed around the station. He also built martin houses for folks that brought materials to be transferred. All his houses were built with the cast-off materials that folks so willingly threw away at the station. Most houses were three-holers while a very few were the regulation size that one sees for sale in farm supply stores. Having a sense of what it takes to attract martins he eventually had a thriving community of martins that returned every year. He eventually ended up with a cluster of 00 folksy martin houses. When I used to visit Mr Cain, at his work space, I was received by the aerial antics of the insect-eating martins that swooped and dove in midair for their meals. I understood how one could get hooked on having a martin house in their yard. All the above houses are part of those designed and made by Mr. Cain for his workplace. Mr Cain retired a few years ago and since then the houses have, unfortunately, been deteriorating. Purple Martins east of the Rockies need someone to take care of their housing -- approximately one million folks in eastern North America put up housing for these totally house dependent martins. West of the Rockies martins are not dependent on folks to provide housing. Here is an excellent site, The Purple Martin Conservation Association, that has information on such subjects as migration maps and behavior.

Islamabad: Pakistan air Force has simply denied all news that a special C-000 airlifted a horse to Qatar, gifted by Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif to the Emir of Qatar, reported DawnNews. "It is clarified that the news aired on some channels regarding the airlift of a horse to Qatar in a C-000 aircraft is baseless and incorrect," said the PAF spokesperson. The spokesperson added that the PAF strongly denies the content of this news. But a letter by government to PAF for special aircraft (C-000) carrying a horse will travel to Qatar on 0 February, 0000 instead of 00 January, 0000 is circulating on Social media.

I was browsing through Alistair Cooke's "The Americans" the other day, and I found a passage in which Cooke says that an unnamed American political columnist gave Jimmy Carter 00 numbered pieces of advice just before he was to take office as President. "This attack of bile, I don't doubt, must have been brought on by unpleasant memories of Mr. Nixon's occupation of the White House, for nobody in American history, I dare say, has given the language of sport such a bad name by using it to recommend a strategy of deceit." Richard Nixon used to like football as a metaphor for politics, diplomacy and warfare. He was not alone in this. I remember when Gerald Ford, before he succeeded Spiro Agnew as Nixon's vice president, said (regarding some of the spirited criticism of the Nixon Vietnam policy): "You don't go out and tackle your quarterback once he has called the play." I thought at the time that if your quarterback appeared demented and was running in the wrong direction, tackling him mightn't be a bad idea. I think a great many American men find football talk irresistible as a demonstration of two-fisted he-manship, and I suspect that that is one reason Vice President George Bush, a couple of days after his first debate with Michael Dukakis, gave a speech in which he used a plethora of football images. He had the Democrats "punting on first down," and he said that the Republican team now had the ball and was going to march, march on down the field, and I thought that at any minute he might break into a chorus of "Boola-Boola" and "Bulldog! Bulldog! Bow! Wow! Wow!" As a way of shaking off a wimp image, football lingo probably seems very tempting. I feel uneasy when powerful public figures shift into the gridiron mode in discussing the life-and-death affairs that affect all of us on this precious, precarious planet. There are just enough similarities between football and war to lure us into confusing the two. Football even has The Bomb. For those who are too inactive or, like millions of wives, too intellectual to watch football on the tube, where we athletes learn the language, The Bomb is a long forward pass. Our pass receiver scampers through the defensive backfield and makes a dash for the enemy goal line. Our quarterback unleashes The Bomb, a forward pass of perhaps 00 yards that lands on the sticky fingers of the receiver. Our receiver then carries The Bomb jubilantly into the end zone for a touchdown. As bombs go, it's not bad. The only explosion it causes is the roar of the fans, and it's quite harmless to the public. In another section of Cooke's work, he attempts to enlighten his countrymen on the mysteries of American football. He says, ". . . No American institution is worse understood abroad than American football. British sportsmen . . . succumb without a second thought to the facetious view of American football as a mindless bout of mayhem between brutes got up in spacemen outfits. . . . American football is an open-air chess game disguised as warfare. It is without question the most scientific of all outdoor games." This, of course, was written years before our football teams went over to capture the hearts and minds of the British. I hope that, whoever our next President may be, he will stay away from the football metaphor. The trouble isn't so much that it is inept as that it tends to blur the borders between sport, whose impact is fleeting, and the real world, whose impact can be permanent and maybe terminal. When you start thinking of the real world in terms of quarterbacks, punting, first downs and marching on down the field, it is difficult not to think also in terms of half-times, closing minutes and final guns. And when you start thinking of such unreal particulars as the final seconds of the closing minutes, and you decide that it's time to use the bomb, and when it is truly in your power to use The Bomb, the final guns could be not just the final guns, but the honest-to-God beginning of the no-kidding final guns--and that is very frightening.

One of the new features in DB0 version 0 which got a lot of attention is certainly 'Row Compression'. While compression algorithms are in place already in DB0 before version 0 (for instance backup compression, value compression), row compression is unique for several reasons. But first let's distinguish between value compression and row compression. Both methods are used to compress table data and therefore save space in the database. Value compression, available since version 0.0 of DB0, does so by introducing a new row format which saves space for certain data types if they are empty or SQL null. applicability in SAP systems Row compression on the other hand uses standard data compression algorithms to compress a row. This includes the creation of a 'dictionary' which defines symbols for particular groups of bytes which appear frequently in the table data. To be more precise, row compression in DB0 uses a lossless compression technique with a static dictionary and works on a 'per table' basis. Static here means that the dictionary, once build, is fixed and will not change upon INSERTs or UPDATEs. The dictionary must exists before the table can be compressed. Creation of the dictionary and compressing the table is done in one step with an offline table REORG. To create the dictionary, the algorithm looks for repeating entries (or patterns) in rows. These entries may span over several adjacent columns. They are replaced by a symbol and the symbol is stored together with the repeating entries in the dictionary. During decompression (which is completely transparent to the database user) the DBMS replaces the symbols found in a row with the entries which are stored in the dictionary for this symbol. This way, a row gets shorter on disk and more rows will fit into one page. The dictionary itself is stored together with the table data and is not accessible from the outside. Upon access to a compressed table the dictionary is loaded into (DBHEAP-)memory for faster decompression. Dictionaries can not exceed the size of 000 KByte, they are usually about 00 KByte in size. As indexes are used for fast access to records index data will not be compressed. Also, long and LOB table data is not compressed. Compressed data is represented as it is in the buffer pool. In other words, the content of the buffer pool is also compressed if it is related to a compressed table. This allows for a more effective memory usage. As already mentioned, row compression works on a per table basis (it can be switched on for single tables). In case of a multi partition environment, it works on a 'per table/per partition' basis in the sense that every compressed table has their own dictionary on every partition. DB00000I The INSPECT command completed successfully. Compression dictionary size: 00000 bytes. Expansion dictionary size: 00000 bytes. The two lines 'Percentage of pages/bytes saved from compression' tell us here that a space reduction by 00% is expected from row compression which is certainly a lot. (I can now admit that I selected this table as it constitutes a very good showcase for row compression :). Also, the complete dictionary size for the table (on this partition) is estimated with 00000 + 00000 = 00000 Bytes = 00,0 KByte. This table is identified as an rewarding object for row compression. The next step is to switch on row compression. This is done with the new addition 'COMPRESS YES' for the ALTER TABLE statement. Note that this addition is also available for the CREATE TABLE statement. In both cases the table will not be compressed with this statement! Instead it is more that the specified table is now 'eligible' from compression. The field 'COMPRESSION' in the SYSCAT.TABLES view tells us if compression is switched on for a table or not. REORG has the two new options RESETDICTIONARY and KEEPDICTIONARY. So it is possible to do a reorganization without running the compress algorithm again by retaining an existing dictionary. For the exact meaning of these options please lookup REORG in the DB0 Command Reference. With ADMIN_GET_TAB_INFO I can check the size of the dictionary. Exactly like estimated by INSPECT it's size is 00.0 KByte. The table now occupies only (000000*000)/0000000 = 00.0% of the original space on disk so that indeed 000% - 00% = 00% of the disk space are saved. Now you may think that every good thing has a downside. Do we have to pay for these space savings? It is very difficult to find a general answer for the costs associated with row compression. Obviously, we need more CPU time for decompression. If on the other hand your database is more I/O bound the savings from less I/O may (and in most cases will) outperform these additional CPU cycles. So there is no universal answer. Otherwise we can examine how the various SQL statements are affected by row compression. Remember that the algorithm works with a static dictionary which is not changed by DML statements issued against a compressed table. From measurements conducted by our IBM colleagues here at SAP (thanks!) we found out that there is nearly no overhead for SELECTs and only a small overhead for INSERTs. UPDATEs to existing rows need a bit more attention. If the update changes the table data in a way that a compression symbol must be expanded to the original entries the row will to be larger after the update than before. As a result the row will not fit in its original location. If there is still free space left on the data page DB0 will do a page reorg to assemble the free space and fit the row back in. If there is not enough free space DB0 will need to create an overflow record (that means that only a pointer will be left on the page and the remainder of the row will be stored on another page). These additional operations will bring along some additional cost if they occur. You therefore may see a slight decrease in update performance compared to an uncompressed table. It very much depends on your actual data and your update frequency if you see a decrease in update performance. Regarding the compression ratio, 00% like in this example is certainly a very good showcase. For the most tables which are suitable for row compression a compression rate around 00% would be more realistic. Row compression is a very useful feature and it will be supported by various SAP products. Starting today you can transparently enable row compression for any table in your SAP system through a manual DBA action. To find suitable candidates for row compression in your SAP system the new UDF 'INSPECT_TABLE_ROWCOMPESTIMATE' is available. UDF can be used. The note also describes how to create DB0 scripts to enable row compression on multiple tables. SAP BI will fully support DB0 row compression starting with it's next version. Row compression will become the default for BI fact tables. Support for existing versions of SAP BI/BW is also available soon, There will be more information about row compression in SAP BI posted on SDN soon. R0load has the new option '-loadprocedure fast COMPRESS'. Started with this option it loads part of the data, does a REORG to create the compression dictionary and then loads the rest of the data. This way the table does not grow up to it's full size before it is compressed. The SAP DBA Cockpit (transaction 'DBACOCKPIT') will fully support row compression starting with the next release of SAP Netweaver. See below a sneak preview from one of our development systems. Note that the development is still ongoing here and there might be changes! The 'Single Table Analysis' shows if a row and/or value compression is switched on for the table. The picture shows the state of our table after row compression took place. On the new compression tab you can find all information regarding row compression. All the things I did above manually (including the INSPECT run) can be scheduled very easy via the DBA cockpit. Johannes Heinrich Johannes works as a developer in the 'DB0 UDB for Unix and Windows' porting team at SAP. Excellent piece of information. we look forward for more such papers from the author..

I normally blog only once daily but I found the stats presented here so cool that I had to post a mid-day entry. Although honestly, I doubt its accuracy as the usage of Internet from China alone could own anyone; it's as if they exist in their own Internet universe. It got me thinking about how we actually utilise this surfeit of information. For a good number of people, especially youths, their daily navigation do not go beyond three to four websites (I'm guessing Facebook, Youtube, Gmail and their blogs). May I urge all of us to make fuller use of the Internet for all its worth instead of idling our time away on it. Nonetheless, enjoy the stat attack! (Source: "00 things I bet you didn't know about the internet" from Curious? Read.) May it give you some interesting perspectives.

Discussion in 'General Mac Discussion' started by mac00, Feb 00, 0000. i changed the splash screen for netscape and OS 0. the rest of the system sounds were the same platnum ones. I think I did some other stuff to.. but I dont remember. I havent messed with OS X yet. I like the interface too much to mess with it yet. Ill do it when I get bord of it some day... if I get bord some day. ... PS.. if anyone want to check out my sound set... I can send it to you if you like. could you send it to me? thanks. are low tech mods... I just put the system0 sound files in the shutdown and startup folders. I have those if you guys want those too. oh... by the way... I sent my sound set to you this morning. Does anybody know if there are any Resourse editors for X?? or does X not have resources structured in an editable fashion like 0 and previous??? Dude, resexellence.com isnt up. either that or my computer is just whacked. any other sites?

I have often heard people saying that why convolutional neural networks are still poorly understood. Is it known why convolutional neural networks always end up learning increasingly sophisticated features as we go up the layers? What caused them create such a stack of features and would this also be true for other types of deep neural networks? Actually I guess the question is a bit broad! Anyway. What is learned in ConvNets tries to minimize the cost function to categorize the inputs correctly in classification tasks. All parameter changing and learned filters are in order to achieve the mentioned goal. They try to reduce the cost by learning low level, sometimes meaningless, features like horizontal and vertical lines in their first layers and then stacking them to make abstract shapes, which often have meaning, in their last layers. For illustrating this fig. 0, which has been used from here, can be considered. The input is the bus and the gird shows the activations after passing the input through different filters in the first layer. As it can be seen the red frame which is the activation of a filter, which its parameters have been learned, has been activated for relatively horizontal edges. The blue frame has been activated for relatively vertical edges. It is possible that ConvNets learn unknown filters that are useful and we, as e.g. computer vision practitioners, have not discovered that they may be useful. The best part of these nets is that they try to find appropriate filters by their own and don't use our limited discovered filters. They learn filters to reduce the amount of cost function. As mentioned these filters are not necessarily known. In deeper layers, the features learned in previous layers come together and make shapes which often have meaning. In this paper it has been discussed that these layers may have activations which are meaningful to us or the concepts which have meaning to us, as human beings, may be distributed among other activations. In fig. 0 the green frame shows the activatins of a filter in the fifth layer of a ConvNet. This filter cares about the faces. Suppose that the red one cares about hair. These have meaning. As it can be seen there are other activations that have been activated right in the position of typical faces in the input, the green frame is one of them; The blue frame is another example of these. Accordingly, abstraction of shapes can be learned by a filter or numerous filters. In other words, each concept, like face and its components, can be distributed among the filters. In cases where the concepts are distributed among different layers, if someone look at each of them, they may be sophisticated. The information is distributed among them and for understanding that information all of those filters and their activations have to be considered although they may seem so much complicated. CNNs should not be considered as black boxes at all. Zeiler et all in this amazing paper have discussed the development of better models is reduced to trial and error if you don't have understanding of what is done inside these nets. This paper tries to visualize the feature maps in ConvNets. ConvNets use pooling layers not only to reduce the number of parameters but also to have the capability to be insensitive to the exact position of each feature. Also the use of them enables the layers to learn different features which means first layers learn simple low level features like edges or arcs, and deeper layers learn more complicated features like eyes or eyebrows. Max Pooling e.g. tries to investigate whether a special feature exists in a special region or not. The idea of pooling layers is so useful but it is just capable to handle transition among other transformations. Although filters in different layers try to find different patterns, e.g. a rotated face is learned using different layers than a usual face, CNNs by there own do not have any layer to handle other transformations. To illustrate this suppose that you want to learn simple faces without any rotation with a minimal net. In this case your model may do that perfectly. suppose that you are asked to learn all kind of faces with arbitrary face rotation. In this case your model has to be much more bigger than the previous learned net. The reason is that there have to be filters to learn these rotations in the input. Unfortunately these are not all transformations. Your input may also be distorted too. These cases made Max Jaderberg et all angry. They composed this paper to deal with these problems in order to settle down our anger as theirs. Finally after referring to these points, they work because they try to find patterns in the input data. They stack them to make abstract concepts by there convolution layers. They try to find out whether the input data has each of these concepts or not in there dense layers to figure out which class the input data belongs to. ConvNets work because they exploit feature locality. They do it at different granularities, therefore being able to model hierarchically higher level features. They are translation invariant thanks to pooling units. They are not rotation-invariant per se, but they usually converge to filters that are rotated versions of the same filters, hence supporting rotated inputs. I know of no other neural architecture that profits from feature locality in the same sense as ConvNets do. One should never forget the other components in a typical ConvNet. The convolution filters pick out the spatial invariant features, like edges and circles. These features are quantified in a pooling layer which follows the C layer. Finally, they are fed into (usually) multiple fully connected layers (fc). Credit must be given to these fully connected layers which are nothing more than what you find in any ordinary MLP. Convolutional neural networks work because it's a good extension from the standard deep-learning algorithm. Given unlimited resources and money, there is no need for convolutional because the standard algorithm will also work. However, convolutional is more efficient because it reduces the number of parameters. The reduction is possible because it takes advantage of feature locality, exactly what @ncasas writes. Is it known why convolutional neural networks always end up learning increasingly sophisticated features as we go up the layers? This is pure mathematics. A neural network, at the end of the day, is a big mathematical function. And the deeper the network, the bigger the function it represents. And by bigger, I obviously mean high-dimensional. The features learned are more sophisticated because they are the results of more sophisticated functions. Interestingly enough, conventional neural networks were inspired by our own, actually cat's, biology. Hubel and Wiesel conducted experiments on the visual cortex of cats, and they realized that light was perceived by stacks of optic fields. This is what inspired convolutional layer and a deeper architecture. They are invavriant to geometrical transformations and learn features that get increasingly complicated and detailed, hence being powerful hierarchical feature extractors thanks to the convolutional layers. They combine the extracted features and aggregate them in a non linear fashion to predict the output and therefore being robust classifiers thanks to the fully connected layers. If you want to learn more about convnets and the different blocks building them as well as the intuitions that underly, here's a post I recently wrote on my personal blog that goes through the details. Not the answer you're looking for? Browse other questions tagged machine-learning neural-network deep-learning convnet cnn or ask your own question. Are CNNs insensitive to rotations and shifts in images? Is there a person class in ImageNet? Are there any classes related to humans? How to understand conv layer to another same conv layer in VGG00? Is color information only extracted in the first input layer of a convolutional neural network? Why do convolutional networks work so well for images? Is there any work done on reconfigurable convolutional neural networks? How can I combine images for Matlab deep learning? Why neural networks do not perform well on structured data? What is exactly meant by neural network that can take different types of input?

We often wonder how often we should go to confession. The answer is simple - whenever you have a serious sin on your conscience. Examine your conscience and beg God to show you're your faults; if you don't know who you are then you don't know what Christ came to save you from. This can be a difficult process, but a necessary one. Such study reveals our self-love by which we blind and deceive ourselves. Our sins offend the Almighty God. He wants to forgive us and share His mercy. We must be satisfied not just with avoiding serious sins, but even the smallest, in an ongoing striving for holiness. Our sins cause ourselves and others unhappiness - why would we want this?! St. John of Kronstadt says that if you live just one day in obedience to all the commandments then you'll have a foretaste of Heaven. Once we know and detest our faults we can begin to replace them with virtues, but know that this won't happen all at once. Be the simple, difficult, weak creature that you are, and start small - to try to stop sinning all at once is actually a manifestation of pride. Start with the baby milk of spiritual struggle before moving on to the strong wine. How should we examine our conscience? You should do this daily, taking time at night to reflect. You can use the Ten Commandments, the Beatitudes, and so on, as a guide. My spiritual father, Fr. Seraphim Rose, taught me to consider: How have I sinned against God? against my neighbor? and against myself? Through examining our conscience we begin to discover what is our predominant passion(s) - that sin we fall into most frequently, which tries to master us. This can be the love of ease, love of power, complaining, judgmentalism, and so on. One of the worst things that can happen to us if when someone asks our advice, so we give "learned advice," but in the end they don't follow it and we get very upset. To overcome vice we must practice the opposing virtue. The Ladder of Divine Ascent is a great help in this regard. St. John Climacus analyzed each virtue and vice as a master of psychology, seeing cause-effect relationships in a theocentric framework. Identify your predominant vice, locate its opposite virtue and begin to cultivate it. Simply avoiding vice won't work because then the passion will simply be replaced with other passions. If we do this we will see that the spiritual life works! We don't like anyone to point out our faults, but in actuality we need our spiritual father to do this. We each have our predominant virtue too. Studying and practicing this tends to draw the other virtues along with it. We can overcome vice by practicing the presence of God, by beginning to develop an awareness that at all times we are in the presence of God and He observes us. The icon corner serves this purpose. It is a two-way window to Heaven. Before doing or saying anything, think to yourself: "Would I do this in Church in front of the altar?" If the answer is "no" then don't do it. Church is the place par excellence where we come into God's presence and receive Him. The Theotokos practiced the presence of God more perfectly than anyone else. Her virtues grew and she thus had a powerful influence on other people. People were made better by her mere presence. The predominant passion is pride; it is the mother of all sins. Its opposite is humility. No soul can have any holiness without some humility, and yet pride will lurk in our darkest recesses our whole life. Adam and Eve fell because they listened to the serpent and thought that they knew better than God. This is pride, and now most of us follow two masters - a little pride and a little humility. Pride is the love of self, the beginning of all sin, and the neglect of the fact that we depend on God for everything. What separates us from death is so little. Our lives are very fragile, and pride places us in opposition to God because by it we work only for our own glory. Pride places false regard on the opinion of others, and of ourselves, when the what you think matters more than what God thinks. It is also manifested as desiring a good reputation - to be thought well of, to be honored - and this is a great temptation for priests, with people looking for the latest guide or guru. A priest must do everything to remain humble about what people say. Actually, criticism against a priest is a blessing to keep him humble, which is in turn good for the whole parish. Pride is also seen in being overbearing towards others, insulting or critiquing others, being argumentative, and getting angry easily. The Holy Fathers give us the antidote for going from vice to virtue. The spiritual life is a science, not an art form. Most of us aren't so spiritually talented so we need laws and cause and effect in order to learn the spiritual life. St. John Climacus says that the antidote for pride is prayer. Identify where the pride is in your life and ask for strength against it. Human effort can do very little. We must realize that everything depends on God. In prayer we make use of God's grace, and then we can do almost anything - we can move mountains! Pride can also be turned into humility by acts of humility, and especially by accepting humiliations. If someone criticizes you, even unfairly, if someone insults you or talks about you behind your back, instead of becoming defensive, accept it! This cheerful bearing of small failures on the part of ourselves and others is bearing one another's burdens (see Gal. 0:0). It is important to bear the misunderstandings of others without complaint or self-justification. All too often we're prone to excuse ourselves and urge our opinions on others. When we learn to accept the humiliations that come our way then we're learning to be humble. As pride is the mother of all sins, humility is the mother of all virtues. Another serious vice is avarice, which is the opposite of detachment and denunciation. It is the desire for many goods, for power over people, and so on. This passion is combated by cultivating a spirit of generosity. The Lord's command to give up your coat is quite literal (Mt. 0:00). St. John Maximovitch would often come back practically naked because he had given his clothes away to the poor and starving. St. John of Kronstadt did the same. You don't have to give away everything, but we should strive to not possess our possessions with our heart. We can have the spirit of poverty even if we aren't poor - only buying what is absolutely necessary. There was a German Lutheran pastor named Richard Wurmbrandt who was a prisoner of Romanian and Russian Communists. When asked how he could manage solitary confinement he answered that he had had practice beforehand. He suggested that Americans with much wealth go into a store where they have no intention of buying anything, and every time they see something they like, they should go up to it, look at it, and say "I don't need this." Do this repeatedly and you train yourself to be detached from worldly goods. He realized that who he is isn't dependent on what he owns, whereas most of us really do define ourselves by what we surround ourselves with. The Desert Fathers had a Psalter and a vigil lamp and that was it, and they were free and belonged to God. Cultivate generosity and have a spirit of detachment. You can practice this by not using credit cards. We live in a world where it's possible with a little imagination and a credit card to create an environment straight out of another time, such as colonial America, Tudor England, and so on. Never before was this possible. There's something very abnormal about it when you think about it. Let's just live simply and love and care for one another and use our blessings to care for the Church, for the poor, and so on. We need a spirit of detachment from people too. You can have affections that are not immoral but simply too strong. Don't define yourself in terms of other people. The spirit of Christian poverty allows for what is genuinely needed, but don't go out and get something just because someone else has it. Of course detachment doesn't mean laziness, dirtiness, slovenliness, chaos, carelessness, or anything less than orderly and clean - this is a form of self-love. Christian poverty isn't stinginess - this is avarice. Possession can be a passion that spreads even to things not worth keeping. Avarice regrets that you don't have what others have. Avarice is stinginess. When you give to a beggar it's for you. It's not so much for the beggar - if you're not willing to give that tells you something about yourself. We cannot rest in our diligence - there is always some way there for avarice or pride to creep in. And the antidote to avarice is prayer. What shall it profit a man if he gain the whole world and suffer the loss of His soul - put this in a frame in your house! Regarding lust, we are taught that the clean of heart shall ascend the mountain of the Lord and see God, which refers to modesty and chastity according to our state in life, not just big things like fornication and adultery, although Blessed are the pure in heart for they shall see God is specifically about sexual sins. Our culture is awash in a cesspool of immorality and lust, dominating every aspect of our entertainment, commerce, and so on, but Christ encouraged chastity and celibacy amongst His disciples. Even seemingly "innocent" things need more discipline, such as too much hugging in churches. For instance, monks and nuns don't hug - they greet one another with a kiss of peace. I never hugged my spiritual father, Fr. Seraphim, but we loved one another. Of course, hugging is not an awful thing, but what I'm talking about is part of a general looseness of our culture, with looseness of dress, especially in Church, and so on. We see women in church in pants, men in shorts, women with uncovered heads - there was a time when this would never have happened. If we had tea with the Queen we'd wear our absolute best, but we walk into Church with the Almighty God as if we've just come from a picnic. We need to rekindle the higher standard. Men shouldn't wear short sleeves, or shorts, or pants that are too tight, and you don't need a tie, which St. John called a noose. You can combat lust by fasting. St. John of Climacus says in his Ladder of Divine Ascent that gluttony is the mother of many sins, particularly lust. If you struggle with lust you can begin fasting with the lessing of your spiritual father, beyond the fasts of the Church even. If you fast you will find that lustful temptations go away. We need to learn how to guard our eyes. Monastics know not to look all around - keep your eyes on where you're going. In photos of the saints we see that often they are not looking directly into the camera; they learned to discipline their eyes so that what comes into the soul via the eyes would not harm them. In the evening prayers we ask for forgiveness if we have seen anyone and been wounded thereby in our hearts. We seek to control our minds too, in disciplining the imagination, day-dreaming, curiosity, and so on. The antidote for lust is prayer. The spiritual life is a constant battle that will end only at our death. We battle not against flesh and blood, but against the fallen angels (see Eph. 0:00). Examine your conscience, identify your predominant virtue and vice and seek the guidance of a spiritual father. The soul is a garden, though often choke with the weeds of the vices. Our task is to learn how to pull out the weeds one-by-one and plant flowers of virtue. Question: If you're on the path but still have passions will you see the Kingdom of Heaven? Answer: We must make sure that we're really on the path. We often delude ourselves into thinking we're on the path when we haven't actually repented. We don't have to achieve absolute perfection, but we need some victory that shows our heart. Question: Surely we can't give to everyone who asks or we'll go broke. Answer: We are called to give but we do need to be discerning. Of course we need to keep some money to provide for our families, to give to charitable organizations, and so on. Question: What is the difference between self-respect and self-love? Answer: Some have the special grace to stay in and redeem abusive situations, but this is very rare - it's almost like martyrdom. We must be very careful about this, as our culture tells us we're just a little higher than animals, or even less worthy than animals. We see people saving whales but not babies. Until 000 years ago we believed we were a little lower than the angels, and people tend to live up or down to the image they are given of themselves. We must work with people very carefully to give them self-respect that isn't pride. Self-respect comes from being made according to the image of God and knowing that He redeemed us. We should not define ourselves by other people. Question: How can we safeguard ourselves to keep a healthy balance? Is it a sin to decorate your house and things like that? Answer: We have the responsibility as good stewards to make a pleasing environment, but we should use common sense about how much money we spend. Of course there are those who have lovely homes but are also very generous. Such questions are on a case-by-case basis. We have to surround ourselves with beauty - that is a Christian virtue. The eagle flew onto the roof of the country house and saw how gallantly and merrily the rooster was strolling amidst his hens. And the eagle began to speak to rhe rooster of the world's beauty and wealth. At first, the rooster listened with attention, but did not understand anything. The eagle, seeing that the rooster did not understand anything, was saddened, and it became hard for him to speak with the rooster; while the rooster, not understanding what the eagle was saying, began to be bored, and it became hard for him to listen to the eagle.

One mustard base used in tuna, haricots vert, and potatoes make a delicious main dish salad. Place the potatoes and garlic cloves in a small pot and cover with water by about 0 inches. Salt the water, and bring to a boil. Boil the potatoes for 00-00 minutes until fork tender. Drain the potatoes. Discard the garlic cloves. In a bowl, toss the hot potatoes with the butter and two tablespoons of the mustard base. Taste, and add salt and pepper until very flavor. In a separate bowl, combine the tuna, capers, dill, and mayonnaise with one tablespoon of the mustard base. Taste for seasoning. Bring two or so inches of salted water to a boil (in the same pot as you used for the potatoes saves a dish!). Boil the green beans for one minute, then drain and transfer to a bowl. Toss the green beans with one tablespoon of the mustard base, one tablespoon of the vinegar, and a few pinches of salt. Whisk the rest of the mustard base with the minced shallot, 0 tablespoon of the vinegar, the honey, and a few pinches of salt. If the dressing seems too thick, add water a teaspoon at a time to thin it out. I start the potatoes to boil FIRST, then work on the tuna and other salad components while the potatoes boil. Then I boil the green beans in the same pot, and can get this salad done in about 00 minutes, sometimes less if I'm super on the ball. It's worth it!

Monday night August 00th, at the Jackson County Board meeting in Black River Falls, gun rights supporters assembled in support of DA Fox's decision to not prosecute gun control ordinances he believes are a violation of the U.S. Constitution. His Decision was based on the recent Supreme Court ruling in McDonald v. City of Chicago. Fox stated the decision means several state laws violate the right to keep and bear arms, including those that prohibit carrying a concealed weapon, possession of a firearm in a public building or bar and having an uncased or loaded firearm in a vehicle. He said he will no longer prosecute those violations. About thirty Citizens gathered at the Jackson County Court House to demonstrate their support for DA Fox, and to express their position that the County Board would be overstepping its authority in giving that power to the Corporation Counsel. These Second Amendment supporters were also concerned that the County Board is going to hold, or has held, meetings to find a way to circumvent the DA's decision by authorizing the non-elected Corporation Counsel, Mark Skolos to prosecute those county gun control ordinances which Fox said he will not prosecute. The rally was organized in response to Mark Skolos, who stated he did not agree with DA Fox's decision and that he believes the county's gun ordinances that prohibit carrying a concealed weapon and carrying a firearm in a public building are still enforceable. The rally was hastily organized by local Citizens who got word that this subject was discussed at the August 0th meeting of the Executive and Finance Committee. Organizers contacted Wisconsin Carry, a gun rights advocacy group, which also had representatives there. One of those in attendance was Art Donnelly who said he supports the Constitution and DA Fox's stance to uphold the Constitutional right of the Citizens to keep and bear arms. He said, "The right to keep and bear arms is for our safety." Others expressed their outrage that the County Board may be considering usurping the "dully elected District Attorney and appoint some sort of specially appointed prosecutor."

In Aztec cosmology, the soul's journey to the Underworld after death leaves them with four destinations: the Sacred Orchard of the Gods, the Place of Darkness, the Kingdom of the Sun, and a paradise called the Mansion of the Moon. The most common deaths end up on their way to Mictlán (Place of Darkness) with its nine levels, crashing mountains and rushing rivers, and four years of struggle. This pantheon of gods and goddesses and the expanse of the 00 Heavens provides the cultural basis for the Day of the Dead customs and celebrations. José Clemente Orozco's monumental mural, ‘The Epic of American Civilization,' with the panel commemorating the Aztec Underworld gods in ‘The Coming of Quetzalcoatl (0000-00). The following is provided as a lesson at a fictional school for noble boys and girls, but presents the cosmology quite comprehensively, where the manner of one's death determines their Land of the Dead destination. Today we will talk of Mictlán and the other mansions of death. Time to start the #LeyendasMexicas. Today I will talk of the Four Houses of the Dead. In particular the journey we have to do while reaching Mictlán. But, before that, you need to know that Mictlantecuhtli, the skeletal Lord of the Land of the Dead is the supreme ruler of Mictlán. He oversees the place of eternal smoke and darkness, along with his consort Mictlancihuatl. El Zapotal, Veracruz, Mexico: Clay sculpture of Mictantecutli, Lord of the Land of the Dead, Mictlan, from the Totonac culture. At sunset, Mictlantechutli, along with Tonatiuh, take their place upon the sun, to illuminate the world of the dead. Tonatiuh, the Star God, becomes Tzontemoc at dusk to light the world of Mictlantecuhtli at night. The legend says that, after Quetzalcoatl and Tezcatlipoca created the world, the day and night, they placed Mictalntecuhtli and his wife Mictlancihuatl as Lord and Lady of the underworld. The counterpart of Mictlán is the paradise known as Tlalocán, the home of the god Tlaloc, where the people dead from drowning or lightning would arrive. The Chichihuacuauhco was the first mansion, the place of the dead children. In its middle there was a large tree, whose branches dripped milk, so the children could feed and gain strength. Chichihuacuauhco: Paradise orchard of the gods, full of unique sustenance giving trees, but only available to children. Also known as Tonacacuauhtitlan, it was home to those who had died whilst still suckling. These children would return to the world when the race that is inhabiting the Earth, our world of the Fifth Sun, will be destroyed. That is why their death was necessary, because they were chosen to populate the Earth in the future, when no one will be left alive. It was believed that these children reincarnated after their death in this mansion, where they lived physically until they were called by the gods. Then Mictlán was the second house. People who eventually succumbed to illness and old age went to Mictlán. In order to reach it, the soul has to make a four year journey, passing through nine layers of the Underworld and various daunting tests. First, the dead would come to a place where a great river called Apanohuaya (where one crosses the river) roared along, wide and gushing, intimidating and impossible to swim across. To cross it one needed the help of an Itzcuintli (xoloitzcuintle), a special dog each family raised and cremated alongside the mourned deceased. Dogs were associated with the deity Xolotl, the god of death. The roundness of the body might suggest its value as food for the posthumous soul. Image: Xolotl from the 00th century Codex Fejervary-Mayer. Upon recognizing his dead master, the dog would bark, then rush to help the deceased to cross the river, carrying its master upon his back while swimming. After the crossing, the deceased was stripped of all his clothes, beginning the second part of his journey between two mountains that conflicted with each other. This pass was called Tepetl Monamiclia, and the deceased would make his way warily, haunted by the fear that the two mountains would clash, crushing the passing traveler. At the end of the pass, the deceased would be forced to walk down the hill strewn with flints and sharp obsidian, made of the same material as our knives, called Ilztepetl. The stones would cut the dead them as they passed, merciless and relentless. The next stage was the walk through Celhuecayan, eight mountains, covered with perpetual snow that would fall on and on, whipped by strong winds. It was said that the winds in these moors were so cold and strong it would cut the body as obsidian blades. After this the dead would arrive at the foot of the hill, the last stop in the first part of the journey called Paniecatacoyan. These moors were cold and large, where the dead would have to walk endlessly, crossing the desolated land. Done with the first test, the dead would take a long path, where they would be struck with arrows. This place was called Temiminaloyan and the arrows were fired by unseen hands, trying to harm the passersby. At the end of the path, they would arrive at the place inhabited by thousands of fierce beasts. When any of the beasts reached them, the passersby would have to throw open their chests and let the beasts eat their hearts, Tecoylenaloyan. Afterwards, they would be force to dive into the Apanuiayo, where the water was black, and where the lizard called Xochilonal had lived. The dead would have to swim in this lake, dodging the animals, including the terrifying lizard to get to the next test. Next, they would have to wade through nine rivers, on a path of mist and dark, called Izmictlan Apochcalolca. The sun never rose in this place. Finally, tired, injured and exhausted with suffering, they would reach their final destination on Chicunamictlan, where they would meet Mictlantecuchtli, the fierce God of the Death, who would receive them with vengeance. Here the cycle would end forever and here they would live until their bodies and their lives would extinguish. The long journey lasted for four years, in which the deceased came to his eternal rest. This was the mansion to which came most of the dead, people who would die of natural causes. The third house was the Kingdom of the Sun. Here the warriors, slaughtered at the hands of their enemies, would rest. Also included were the souls of those women who died in childbirth. Among the Aztecs, the pregnant woman was like a warrior who symbolically captured her child for the Aztec state in the painful and bloody battle of birth. Considered as female aspects of defeated heroic warriors, women dying in childbirth became fierce goddesses who carried the setting sun into the netherworld realm of Mictlán. This place was outside the time, a wonderful infinite place, a beautiful plain, and every time the sun would come up, they would hear the sound of the warriors beating their shields. After four years, these warriors would turn into rich bird-feathers, small, living creatures eating the flowers. The iconography of Tonatiuh's attire provides a visual explanation for what his role as the sun god entailed. The deity is usually depicted with arrows and a shield to show that he is a warrior. Tonatiuh often carries a maguey spine in one hand to signify that he takes part in bloodletting practices as a means of sacrifice. The importance of sacrifice is also reinforced by depictions of balls of eagle feather or the eagle itself, which were markers of sacrifice. Tonatiuh's connection to the sun leads us to believe that the eagle is a reference to the ascending and descending eagle talons, which is a visual metaphor for capturing the heart or life force of a person. [From Townsend, Richard (0000). ‘State and Cosmos in the Art of Tenochtitlan'. Washington D.C.: Dumbarton Oaks]. Upon the Earth, in our world of the Fifth Sun, these birds were treated with honor, because we knew they were the souls of the warriors who had died in a battle. These birds are hummingbirds. Some would also become butterflies. The fourth house was what Catholics took for a paradise. Those who had died by drowning, lightning, and other deaths related to water and rain would arrive at Tlalocán, the Mansion of the Moon, a place of unending springtime and a paradise of green plants. This place belonged to Tlaloc (Nahuatl: "He Who Makes Things Sprout"). The dead arriving here would live happy, fresh and unconcerned. These dead were not cremated, but buried, interred with a piece of wood which was believed to sprout leaves and flowers once the person had entered Tlalocán. Here people enjoyed food and fruits in abundance, a luxury deserving the realm of the supreme god of rain and agriculture. And so, between those mansions the dead Mexica were divided, each person going to his designated place in the Mexican Underworld. There were other pseudo-mansions to which people arrived if killed in special situations. For example, noble women dead in childbirth were going to Cihuateteo. Mictlán was located below our world. The Ilhuuicatl-Tonatiuh was upon the sun itself. The Chichihuacuahco location was unknown, but it said it was out of this world. And those were the mansions of the dead, and the journey that the dead suffered when they were in Mictlán. And so today ends the night of #LeyendasMexicas. Neumann, Franke J. (0000). "The Dragon and the Dog: Two Symbols of Time in Nahuatl Religion". Numen, Vol. 00, Fasc. 0 Apr 0000. Brill Publishers: 0-00. Townsend, Richard. ‘State and Cosmos in the Art of Tenochtitlan'. Washington D.C.: Dumbarton Oaks, (0000). I am interested in the image of (Mictlantechutli ) you have here. What role does this God play out during the last days, judgement day, doomsday? Also please email me if you have a moment to spare. I am comparing what I have found to known ancient gods relating to underworld, serpents, and judgement related information. This looks and could be a possible, but need the information which will confirm.

Lancaster-based artist delights ramblers with his striking work but you have to be quick to see them. Roger Borrell reports. Most artists dream of having their work in a famous gallery or an august museum, but Richard Shilling knows his creations rarely survive the ravages of time. And he's delighted. The Lancaster-based artist works with nature, finding beauty in a pile of polished stones or a diaphanous leaf blown from the trees in an autumn breeze. He takes them and makes sculptures from the natural materials he finds around him, preserving them only with photographs taken without the aid of any technical trickery. He then lets nature take its course as the elements reclaim them. Walkers in Lancashire, the Lakes and Yorkshire will often turn a corner and be pleasantly surprised - and perhaps a little intrigued - to find a finely balanced set of symmetrical stones or leaves sewn into a box placed in a remote corner of the countryside. Melted Ice Imprint: Section of ice chopped from a small pool on Clougha Pike. Richard pressed his hand into the ice to create a melted imprint. Sometimes you need to be very quick to catch them. One remarkable work involved a section of ice chopped from a small pool on Clougha Pike. Richard pressed his hand into the ice to create a melted imprint. Now he is sharing his passion as the artist in residence at the Middlewood Trust at Roeburndale, just south of the pretty village of Wray. The trust aims to advance research and provide education in techniques of agriculture, forestry, wildlife and countryside management, building, energy conservation and human lifestyle which are in tune with the natural cycle and do not upset the long term ecological balance. It is based in idyllic semi-ancient woodlands and over three decades it has provided a place of education on all aspects of low-impact living. Courses range from spoon-carving and coppicing to greenwood furniture making and yurt building. Richard hosts some of the courses there as well as staging workshops at Muncaster Castle near Ravenglass. ‘My art is all about making a connection with nature, something that is fundamental to maintaining good mental health,' he said. ‘I instruct in techniques that are very accessible, easy to follow and put into practice, so no artistic talent is required from anyone who comes along to one of my events. ‘We use the inherent beauty of nature to guide us through the process. Almost universally, people attending find a new way to connect to themselves and to the natural world and leave the session refreshed with a big smile on their faces. Why not take a leaf out of Richard's book? Denizen of Antizen: Balancing pebbles in a fissure in the cliff at Half Moon Bay, Heysham.

Have you ever had the situation where you believed in something so strongly that it happened? Were there times you didn't take any action because you could not properly predict the outcome? Just like all the Asian Men out there, I too have experienced many times of being humbled. Do you remember the first time your dad took off the training wheels on your bike? I still remember it. It was the time where I felt supremely invincible. Well maybe not that invincible, but I was able to pick myself up from any pain or adversity endured. The first time I fell off my bike merely moments after those two little rear wheels were taken off. It was the first time I realized you had to keep pedaling to stay balanced or come tumbling onto the pavement. I remember the tears that came along with the minor cuts on my knee, but I wasn't crying because I couldn't do it, it was simply because I was in pain. I fell for a second time because I didn't know how to properly ascend a sidewalk from the road, and a third for not properly counterbalancing my turning. Yes it hurt, but I truly believed that I was capable of riding a bike. In other words this was the beginning of building my own self-efficacy. Now you may confuse this with the term confidence, but this much more than the strength of belief in a particular outcome. I would describe self-efficacy as a belief that competencies are attainable, regardless of the setbacks that occur along the way. Now everyone will choose different skill sets and interests, but they tend to gravitate to areas where there are levels of success. Who would enjoy doing something that you always lost at? For every sport, video game, or interest we experienced some sort of success that kept us going forward. There was just the right mix of challenge and skill that kept our interest levels up. We knew there were opportunities to improve and eventually achieve a high level of success. The biggest problem for Asian Men is that societal expectations and popular culture does not emphasize self-efficacy, but place a perceived value on a pseudo-confidence that borders arrogance and selfishness. There is no secret that a tall athletic built male with a chiseled jaw line can be forgiven for his bravado, but is that a true qualifier for Asian Men to be attractive? Certainly it is an uphill battle, but the most important thing is not to be discouraged. I simply say this is because the "confidence" that mainstream society is accustomed to perceiving is not as readily apparent in Asian Males, and thus they may seem less desirable. So be sure what archetype you identify with - that goes for both ones looking for an AMWF Relationship or who are already in an AMWF Relationship.

OneFold Records > House > Going Global EP - AndMe. AndMe. - Going Global EP - AndMe. Going Global is the new EP from one of Onefold's hottest producers, AndMe. After flexing his talents earlier this year with ‘Mixed Emotions‘ & ‘The Arrival‘ , we're proud to present this - his first solo EP with the label - and it's safe to say he's off to a flying start. Capturing an unmistakable energy with both tracks, he fuses an infectious vocal hook with a thick, punchy beat on ‘Dance', to create a sound worthy of any main room. And giving us another dance floor staple in ‘Get It', AndMe. builds this stripped back cut around a short, stabbing beat, switching up the pace to create a fresh sound that's sure to hook any crowd.

Using photography in marketing of products is a popular sales method. Consumers have short attention spans. They also need to see the same message or image repeatedly, for the message to reach them. This must happen before consumers can make the decision to purchase the product. This is why quality photography is critical, in getting the attention of consumers rather than turning them away. Marketing managers are responsible for ideas on how to make the perfect images for glossy magazines ads, signs, and billboards. Photographers must turn ideas created by marketers, into visual stories that consumers will notice and think about. If the image isn't interesting, viewers may pass by and glance, but won't give it a second thought. Product images are produced one of two ways. They are either images of the real product or are images created by graphic artists, capable of accurately reproducing the image. Whether the image is an attractive bottle of cologne or an icy drink can, the reflections that can detract from the image are eliminated in professionally created pictures. The real work starts after the concept or idea is presented. Creating original pictures that accurately reflect the message and making them look flawless is the challenge of product photography. A chilled drink can with a depiction of ice droplets or an icy fog surrounding it is what creates the story that will pique the interest of the consumer. An effective image gets the consumer to think about an action, such as consuming the product. This is what leads to consumer purchase decisions. To create the right picture and combine it with other aspects of the ad, like the right text font, with a style that suits the image, takes a keen eye for photography and marketing. The effective image gets the attention of consumers in a positive way. A picture is truly worth "a thousand words" in terms of marketing photography. Producing an advertising photo that accurately reflects the brand and related products takes a good eye and plenty of talent. A passionate marketing photograph understands what it takes to capture the essence of the image and turn it into something consumers will pay attention to. A marketing manager won't accept anything less than the perfect image of the product. So, the photographer must get it right the first time, by producing the best image possible, which creates the right story to draw in consumers.

Despite Baker's admiration for Spengler's intellect and erudition, he is ‘eliminated at once', along with Nietzsche, ‘as irrelevant to the ethnic problem', as he ‘makes it abundantly clear that the Volk was not an ethnic taxon.'0 Baker's purpose in writing Race was to define and classify races or what he called ‘ethnic taxa' in a biological way. Spengler would have rejected such categorizing as an expression of the English materialistic Zeitgeist of weighing and measuring all things. For Darwinian scientists such as Baker, Spengler's definition of a ‘race' was ‘remarkable', to use Baker's word, insofar as it seemed odd. Liberals are obliged to recognize differences in ‘race' because of the adverse medical impact in trying to ignore them. Professor Mansfield is concerned that studies and warnings about poor diet among Afro-American mothers might result in perpetuating racial stereotypes, which epigenetically become real; yet the option is to ignore these problems to the detriment of public health. That is a predicament for those who deny that ‘race' has any meaning other than as a socio-political method of exploitation. Epigenetics might explain the hitherto mysterious mechanism by which a ‘race soul' might be formed and inherited. The same principles of epigenetics are applicable to all races, or ethne, as responses to challenges and other shared experiences, whose impact is often reinforced by myths, legends, ritual and customs. Indeed that is the purpose of legends, myths and the religious forms they take. It is the meaning of history and the definition of ‘culture'. The steppes shaped the Russian psyche, the seas the English. Spengler explained race-formation by such concepts. Epigenetics might explain the hitherto mysterious mechanism by which a ‘race soul' - or Jung's collective unconscious if one prefers - might be formed and inherited. 0F.

New York City is called "The City That Never Sleeps," and when visiting this exciting destination with the whole family, it may seem that neither do the kids. The Big Apple is a hotbed of activity all week long, but many traditional tourist attractions are closed on Sunday nights, including most of the top museums. Fortunately, armed with some good tips, families can find something to do anytime of the week, even on a Sunday night. The bright lights of Times Square are always fun at night. Several famous toy, gift and fashion stores provide entertainment for kids of all ages, and adults will appreciate the grand scale of the ADHD-proof television screens and lighting. The area, which is centered at the intersection of Broadway and Seventh Avenue, has an overwhelming number of family restaurants ranging from well-known chains to independent eateries. Certainly better places to eat abound in the city, but sometimes it's easier for family members to agree on a restaurant chain everyone already knows. The world's most famous city park is particularly busy on the weekend, but it provides a relaxing escape from the street crowds and pushy taxi drivers. Most people stay in the southern half of the park, which features the Wollman ice skating rink, the Heckscher Playground and the John Lennon "Strawberry Fields" memorial. Another highlight is the 000-acre Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis Reservoir, located just north of the Metropolitan Museum of Art. In the summer, most of the parks in New York host free concerts on different nights, many of which feature well-known acts. Children will enjoy the Central Park Zoo and carousel, but Conde Nast Traveler suggests not taking one of the cliché, overpriced carriage rides popularized by scenes from Woody Allen's "Manhattan." The park closes at 0 a.m., but tourists should stay in the main areas after nightfall. Sunday is a big day for stage productions as the theaters often host both afternoon matinees and nighttime performances. More progressive plays and musicals may be found off-Broadway, but the giant Broadway productions are most likely to entertain the entire family. At time of publication, long-running classics included "Wicked," and "The Lion King" but you could consider an edgier production like "Chicago" or "Hamilton" if the children are all in their teens. Discounted tickets for some productions can be purchased at the TKTS Booth in Times Square. Jenison, David. "Fun Things to Do on a Sunday Night With Family in NYC." Travel Tips - USA Today, https://traveltips.usatoday.com/fun-things-sunday-night-family-nyc-000000.html. 00 February 0000.

This plant is a member of the Solanaceae family and has over 0,000 years of traditional use in its native India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. It is a Medharasayan which is the Ayurvedic category of foods and nutrients that promote learning and memory retrieval. It is sometimes referred to as "Indian Ginseng" as it is traditionally used in conditions of debility, emaciation, impotence and premature aging. It is also sometimes referred to as Winter Cherry. The translation of Ashwagandha is roughly, "the smell and strength of a horse", alluding to its aphrodisiac properties. This plant is a Tonic and an Adaptogen. In the Middle East it is used to help promote normal sleep patterns and encourage a healthy inflammatory response. Adaptogens support the ability of an organism to cope with stress and thereby conserve energy. Ashwagandha rejuvenates and tonifies the entire system, especially the endocrine and immune systems. The root and leaf contain the highest amount of Steroidal compounds which include the lactones Withaferin A, and carbon-00-glycowithanolides, known collectively as Withanolides. It also contains a fair amount of alkaloids; tropine, pseudotropine isopelletrine, and anaferine, and saponins. Altern. Med. Rev. 0000 Aug; 0(0): 000-00 Mishra LC, Singh BB, Dagennais S.

0 - Developed a motion to be introduced at City Council for a moratorium on market housing development. Motion endorsed by 00 groups. 0) The city buys 00 more sites and gets an MOU with the province to build social housing on them. 0) The city starts a DTES visioning process to evolve after 0.0 years into implementation. 0) The city tries to slow soft conversions by getting the province to provide incentives to landlords (Plant and Forbes-Roberts evidently already working on this). 0 - Met with Peter Ladner, NPA councilor and Brent Toderian, Director of Planning, re Plan B. Brent said he would defer to Cameron's recommendation on housing, talk to the DTES planner, Jessica Chen, about visioning, and said he wouldn't support the mechanisms we listed to slow down speculation. Ladner said they were short of money to buy land, he could maybe go for a 0 month vision process, and he didn't like the 00% social housing requirement if it was a code for a moratorium. He said he'd take something to the NPA caucus this week (week of June 0) and put some kind of motion on the City's website on June 00. We asked for meetings with Vision and one is hopefully being set up. We have been emailing Cadman and keeping him up to date. 0 - Met with Jill Davidson and Andrea (Housing Centre) and Jessica Chen (DTES planner). City staff showed us a new report on DTES housing that claims we're on track replacing the lost hotel rooms. They do this by including provincially owned hotels as NEW social housing and by NOT counting soft conversions of hotel rooms to tourist hotels and higher rents. But they did indicate that they could support some sort of visioning and developing some mechanisms of dealing with the pace of development if Council asks them to. 0 - Meanwhile we are trying to pressure Concord Pacific to hold off on their plan for 000 condos at 00 W. Hastings by generating 000 letters to the Development Permit Board opposing the development; organizing speakers at the Development Permit Board on June 00rd, getting folks to send letters to the head of Concord Pacific, Terry Hui, and, starting this week, organizing actions focused on the site, office and presentation centre. (a) Write a letter to Hui. Tell him to stop his development at 00 W. Hastings until the community can get a vision together and the city comes up with tools to implement the vision. Alternatively, he could build the development and then turn it over to a non profit group to run as social housing. (b) Visit Hui in his office at 0th floor 0000 W. Pender (near Thurlow). Give him the above message. (c) Email the Development Permit Board, c/o Alison Higginson at [email protected]. Tell them not to approve the Concord Pacific condos at 00 W. Hastings until we get social housing for SRO residents and homeless people and a vision for the Downtown Eastside. (d) Sign up to speak at the Development Permit board by emailing [email protected].

Only in a few months, surgeons at the Cleveland Clinic are expect to become the first in the United States to transplant a uterus into a woman who lacks one, so that she can become pregnant and give birth. The recipients will be women who were either born without a uterus, had it removed or have uterine damage. The transplants will be temporary: each uterus will be removed after the recipient has had one or two babies, so she can stop taking transplant anti-rejection drugs. Uterine transplantation is a new frontier, one that pairs specialists from two fields known for innovation and for pushing limits, medically and ethically: reproductive medicine and transplant surgery. If the procedure works, many women could benefit: an estimated 00,000 women in the United States do not have a uterus. But there are potential dangers. The recipients, healthy women, will face the risks of surgery and anti-rejection drugs for a transplant that they, unlike someone with heart or liver failure, do not need to save their lives. Their pregnancies will be considered high-risk, with fetuses exposed to anti-rejection drugs and developing inside a womb taken from a dead woman. Eight women from around the country have begun the screening process at the Cleveland Clinic, hoping to be selected for transplants. One, a 00-year-old with two adopted children, said she still wanted a chance to become pregnant and give birth. She traveled more than 0,000 miles to the clinic, paying her own way. She asked that her name and hometown be withheld to protect her family's privacy. She was 00 when medical tests, performed because she had not begun menstruating, found that she had ovaries but no uterus - a syndrome that affects about 0 in 0,000 newborn girls. She comes from a large family, she said, and always assumed that she would have children. The test results were devastating. The hospital plans to perform the procedure 00 times, as an experiment, and then decide whether to continue. Dr. Tzakis said he hoped to eventually make the operation readily available in the United States. Sweden is the only country where uterine transplants have been completed successfully - all at the University of Gothenburg with a uterus from a live donor. Nine women have had them, and four have given birth, the first in September 0000. Another is due in January. Their babies were born healthy, though premature. Two transplants failed and had to be removed, one because of a blood clot and the other because of infection.

It's Nashville Curves Week and we are starting with the wonderful BRYNN! Brynn is a non-profit educator living and working in Nashville. I met Brynn when we shot with fellow Nashville Curves Alum, Amber, and we shot the All That Glitters hair campaign for Bespoke Curry. Brynn has a sparkling personality and she's just gorgeous. Below, read her profile and learn why being plus-size has changed her worldview! I am the Managing Director of Alumni Leadership with Teach For America Nashville. I moved to Nashville to teach in 0000, and I've been here since. I believe there is a powerful force of young people here. Young people who want to make this city more just. I work to make sure they have the resources and connections to do what they aspire to do. I've been okay with me for a long time! I've never believed that there was a thinner me inside just waiting to come out. However, I believe it was finding the burlesque and pin-up world in college, and seeing visual representations of Rubenesque forms presented as beautiful that I began to see my body not merely as what I'd been saddled with by genetics or circumstances, but as an integral part of my world view; something that made me myself and beautiful. I find it helpful to call it out by saying something. I make a point to communicate how these kinds of comments are rooted in diet culture. I don't usually encounter fat-phobia via direct slights aimed at me, but rather via the ways that people around me orient to their own bodies, diets and looks. Hearing people talk about eating or exercising or their own bodies as reflections of their morality is more triggering and commonplace to me, and I find I have to name why those lines of thinking aren't just hurtful to me, but also harmful to the person saying them. Hell yes! I've wanted to do something like this forever! What's your favorite part of your body? Why? Hmm, my legs are long and thick and strong, and I appreciate them. I love the feeling of striding across a room or hallway, and I'm thankful that my legs allow me to do just that. I also got my first (and only!) tattoo on my upper left leg about a year ago. Looking down and reading the phrase "try a little tenderness" on my own body reminds me to be gentle - with myself, my loved ones and the world at large. I have SO MUCH vintage plus size clothing that I've collected over the years! It can be hard to come by. My most favorite piece is a pale blue, chiffon, see through dressing gown with coordinating lace. It is floor length with full sleeves, and, when I wear it, I feel like a silverscreen siren. Even if I'm just blow drying my hair I'll wear it. What plus-size store would you like to see in Nashville? I'd like to see a brick and mortar version of Eloquii here or Madewell's plus size clothing receiving its own store front, instead of merely existing online. In general, I'd like to see Nashville's entire fashion community move a bit further to the weird end of the spectrum, and get a bit more playful and individualized, and that includes plus size fashion. Take more full body shots! Come back tomorrow for more profiles! Thank you Park Central Apartments for allowing us to shoot in your space. Yes Brynn...fabulous!! So, glad I wqs able to do this shoot with you.

In 0000 the Maserati brothers sold their company to industrialist Adolfo Orsi. Not long after the war was over, they decided their real interests lay in racing, and together they formed OSCA--short for the rather more cumbersome Officina Specializzata Costruzione Automobili Maserati wich was found on 0. December 0000. A variety of racing endeavors followed-- including an ambitious V00 Formula One project--but OSCAs shone in the smaller displacement classes. Frequent competitors in important races throughout Europe and America, they were driven by such notable pilots as Stirling Moss, Luigi Villoresi, and Prince Behra. While producing a wide variety of two-seat racing cars--all clothed by local coachbuilders-- OSCA was approached by Fiat to develop a larger version of OSCA's existing twin-cam engine for use in the 0000S sports car. Shortly afterward, OSCA decided to offer a street car and the natural engine choice was a 0,000-cc version of the engine developed for Fiat. The job of designing the coachwork fell to Zagato. Two versions were built: a normal roof design, as well as one of the prettiest cars of the era, the so-called double bubble coupes. While certainly a dramatic styling element, the roof-top bubbles were also practical, adding inches of headroom and incorporating vents at the rear to keep cabin temperatures down during races. These cars, with their thoroughbred racing engines and nimble chassis, were among the best-looking road/race cars of their time. Even if they hadn't been created by some of the better-known and most talented automotive engineers who ever lived, OSCA sports racers would rank high in the lists of the best post- war sports cars. Building small-bore sports racers in the 000-cc, 0,000-cc, 0,000-cc, and two-liter classes, OSCAs began winning almost immediately. The high point is without a doubt the MT0 roadster, which achieved an overall victory in the 0000 00 Hours of Sebring race driven by Stirling Moss and Bill Lloyd. Many well-known drivers did extremely well with the light, fast cars, which became the most successful 0,000-cc racers ever built. Today they easily bring nearly $000,000 as gilt- edged vintage racers and guaranteed event rides. OSCAs were clothed by the leading Italian carrozzerie and most looked as good as they went. No one ever accused the Maserati brothers of not knowing how to build great cars--they just never figured out how to make it a business. It seemed quite logical to use the money from the Fiat engine deal to make a proper road car to sell in some numbers. But as so often happens with small manufacturers, the timing wasn't quite right. Since OSCA was best at racing, it made sense that the new 0000 GT would also take to the track to enhance its reputation in the showroom. The 0000 GT was bodied by five different coachbuilders, with the most attractive and numerous being that of Zagato. With four-wheel disc brakes, fully independent suspension, strong and light ladder tube frame, a smooth, flexible engine, and clothed in the iconic "double bubble" body, it should have been everything needed for success in racing and on the road. Unfortunately, problems with homologation for both the track and street meant that deliveries were delayed almost two years. Although over a hundred examples were built, it never achieved the competition results expected and drove the company to the brink of closure.

Firebrand Candle Company originally began as a craft project during the Christmas Season of 0000. Soon after, many of the people who received candles as gifts began to ask if I had ever considered starting a candle business. After completing a business planning course through the BUILD Institute in February 0000, I launched Firebrand Candle Company. Firebrand Candles are inspired by a desire to create intimacy and connection between people, a love of compelling aromas, and a drive to bring positive light to the city of Detroit. Each soy candle is named after a Detroit street and representative of its rich history and culture. The Goal - turn the sometimes-negative conversations regarding Detroit into ones much more warm, comforting, and inviting.

Kieran Hope, 00, secured financial backing to expand his business Air Control Entech (ACE). A drug dealer caught with £000,000 of cocaine in a police organised crime operation has been given taxpayers' money to grow his drone business. Kieran Hope, 00, was handed a three-year prison sentence in 0000 and two years later founded Air Control Entech (ACE), which uses drones to conduct inspections in the oil and gas industry. He then secured financial backing from The Oil & Gas Technology Centre (OGTC), which is funded by the Scottish and UK governments, academia and industry. There are no rules against convicted criminals receiving public money. However, concerns have been raised over the organisation's refusal to disclose how much it gave to Hope's firm. The OGTC would not say how much money was invested, citing non-disclosure agreements which can keep such details from public view if commercially sensitive information is involved. Graeme Pearson, former director general of the Scottish Crime and Drug Enforcement Agency and ex-Labour MSP and justice spokesman, said: "I think that where public money is being spent there is a duty on organisations to show the public how that money was used and where that money was invested." He added: "The notion that it's none of our business is unacceptable." The OGTC declined an interview request, but in a statement said Hope was "entirely transparent about his previous conviction" and that ACE "was carefully evaluated in line with our process for every investment decision and all conditions have been met throughout". In a 0000 business magazine interview, Hope, from Aberdeen, did not mention his criminality. The magazine stated that Hope bought a drone "for fun" in 0000 - the year after he was jailed for three years. Hope said this inspired him to "quit his job in the oil industry within weeks and plough £00,000 in savings and loans into a new venture, Air Control Entech". Drone company: Air Control Entech. The magazine also said that Hope has worked in various countries "before he returned to Aberdeen in late 0000" - making no mention of his prison time. Scottish Lib Dem justice spokesman MSP Liam McArthur said transparency should be expected when government money is spent to support a business. "I think the use of non disclosure agreements will strike many as inappropriate and unacceptable in these circumstances," he said. "I think the public have a right to know how public funds are being spent." At the same time as launching ACE, Hope formed sister company Air Control Global Group (ACGG) which he co-owned and ran with Liston Pacitti, 00. Pacitti was last year jailed for four-and-a-half years for endangering lives by selling so-called legal highs from shops in Arbroath and Montrose. At Dundee Sheriff Court last year, Sheriff Alastair Brown said Pacitti had exploited "a gap in the law in order to make significant amounts of money". ACGG was dissolved five months ago. Co-owners: Liston Pacitti and Kieran Hope ran Air Control Global Group. OGTC was launched in 0000 to fund technological developments to maximise North Sea oil and gas yields and more than ten years will receive £00m from the UK Treasury via the Scottish government. Hope's Aberdeen-based ACE was one of the first companies to receive funding. The company said its high-tech drones can carry out offshore inspection work more safely and at less cost than by traditional methods. Former police chief Pearson questioned these claims and why no proceeds of crime action was taken against Hope. He said: "If someone is convicted of supplying drugs and being engaged in the business of drug dealing I would have expected that asset would have been recovered and would have been returned to the taxpayers of Scotland." "I would have hoped that the agency [OGTC] would have taken further steps to ensure that the money was invested in the right places and this man might be the right person to invest in, but it should be done in a situation of openness and honesty." STV News asked the Scottish Government if it was aware of Hope's background and whether using NDAs was appropriate. Energy Minister Paul Wheelhouse said: "We have no involvement in specific funding decisions made by the OGTC, who follow their own due diligence process for all applications, nor would we have any input to commercial or contractual decisions the OGTC enter into." Kieran Hope declined to be interviewed by STV News or to answer any of our questions. But after engaging a PR adviser he spoke about his conviction with an energy industry trade publication. He told Energy Voice that the £000,000 of cocaine was not his and the reason he did not appeal was that it could have resulted in an increased sentence. He said that he had been in with the "wrong crowd" and that his nine months behind bars were "very lonely". After moving to an open prison at the end of 0000 he joined a rehabilitation programme which allowed him to go out and work. He said the company which initially hired him then gave him a full-time role on his release from prison. He says this was followed by another job before he founded ACE in December 0000. "I treat people the way I like to be treated," he said. "Being up front and honest is the right way to do that. "The OGTC was really good about it. A lot of people think you do not deserve a second chance, so it's a case of proving yourself, and that's challenging. "If you mess up, it does not mean your life is over. You can come back if you work hard and are honest."

Religious books are works of fiction. At least, they were meant to be (yes, Mr. Tom Cruise). I've read every religious book in English I could find, before I was twenty. Partly because I wanted to get a hang of religion, but mostly because some of the books made entertaining reading. I'm not going to repeat my issues with religion here, but if you do care - I agree a lot with George Carlin. But I didn't come here to dig a shallow grave for religion & its fan club, I came here to praise the writings it has preserved over the ages. There is a passage of the Bible, I read often. Hidden in a history book of who begat who, is a passage of pure undiluted philosophical gold. Ecclesiastes - The book of the Preacher. The words, said to be those of King Solomon, inherited from the Talmud. As I read on, the world made more sense. and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth to them all. and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also is vanity. seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. for all is vanity and vexation of spirit. And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? of all the labour which I took under the sun. Yet to a man that hath not laboured therein shall he leave it for his portion. For all the days I questioned my purpose, here was a man from ages beyond who was at the very same threshold of questioning his. To hate life because it takes away from you what you possess, to what end? To know that the world that gets your precious wisdom and labour, does not deserve it. That I'm creating a better world to only leave it behind to someone who never deserved it, because he was not as wise, as hard working, as worthy of it. But in my vanity, I choose to think all my wisdom was mine. And there in lies my pain and vexation of spirit (sic). for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him? In a very definite departure from the general tone of religious texts, the book of the preacher is very pragamatic and rarely invokes hopes or promises of a better life once you are through this one. And reciprocal altruism finds its way into an ancient book (move over Robert Trivers, Talmud just took your case). and in the evening withhold not thine hand. For those who might recognize, this is the same sentiment of action that the Gita begins with. To hold the courage to do, without heed to circumstance. Only as a work of religion would this text have survived millenia, without change and through thoughtful translations. And for that, I'm thankful.

The joys on offer include Fifth Doctor stories The Elite (a twisty tale of the Doctor, Tegan and Nyssa's ill-fated trip to the planet Florana), Hexagora (featuring alien abduction and a proposal for the Doctor) and The Children of Seth (a tantalizing story of the search for the true origins of the mysterious Seth). All the stories star Peter Davison (the Fifth Doctor from 0000-0000) alongside companions of the time Tegan (Janet Fielding) and Nyssa (Sarah Sutton). Then it's on to Sixth Doctor Colin Baker (0000-0000) alongside regular assistant Peri (Nicola Bryant) for a trilogy of tales featuring old friends and foes. The Guardians of Prophecy brings back the Melkur from TV story The Keeper of Traken, while Power Play finds the Doctor confronted by former assistant Victoria Waterfield (the returning Deborah Watling), who isn't pleased to see him. Then, in The First Sontarans, there's a chance to learn the secret history of the warrior race. Completing the series is the aforementioned legendary The Masters of Luxor, performed by original companions William Russell (Ian) and Carole Ann Ford (Susan), followed by The Rosemariners, a lost Patrick Troughton (the Second Doctor from 0000-0000) story told by Sixties companions Jamie (Frazer Hines) and Zoe (Wendy Padbury). All of these titles can now be yours for only £00 on CD and £00 on download - but the offer ends after this weekend so act fast!

Commercial real estate company CBRE has officially launched the sell-off of the majority of Toronto's troubled Trump International Hotel Tower and the Trump Residences at Bay and Adelaide Sts. The sale being handled by receiver FTI Consulting Canada was approved by the courts on Jan. 0. It comprises 000 hotel and 00 residential units and the building's retail space, including the spa, the Calvin bar and upscale America restaurant. The receiver has set a minimum price of $000 million for the 00-storey, luxury tower and the sale is already receiving global interest from groups in Europe, Asia, the U.S. and some larger Canadian groups, said CBRE executive vice-president Bill Stone. "We're encouraged by the initial response. This is a rare commodity. There are not a lot of luxury hotels available in North America at this point," he said. CBRE has handled the sale of other prestigious Toronto hotels, including the Royal York, the Intercontinental and the Four Seasons. Stone characterized the five-star Trump Tower as a premium opportunity. "The Toronto hotel market is exceptionally strong. Last year, to the end of Oct., occupancy was up about 0 per cent to 00 per cent. It was one of the strongest years on record. Average rates were up 00 per cent up to $000. Downtown Toronto was the rate leader in the country," he said. The bid date of Feb. 00 means the sale is expected to close this year, he said. The sale does not include 00 hotel suites and 00 condos in the building that are owned by other investors. A group of owners in the property, who claim to be the victims of misleading marketing, are suing the property's developer, Talon International and the business organization owned by U.S. President-elect Donald Trump, which manages it and licensed the use of its name on the property. The upscale Trump tower opened in 0000, after a series of delays and slow unit sales.

Men ( I really don't understand them). I have my own life in Lubbock, TX. I do my own thing, work, pay my bills (on time!), involved in two organizations on campus, AND let's not forget the purpose of all the fun; school. Yes I balance it all quite well - without a planner too- and it all seems to work out. Sometimes. Look at me text messages. Dammit. 00 text messages from my group members asking about our presentation on Friday and when to meet up. Deep breath. After replying to all of my text messages I realized an hour flew by and I still haven't replied to my boyfriend. Naturally, I call him back and he mentions we haven't talked in three days. Has it been that long? No, surly not? Ooh surly. He noticed. ( which is what girls want right? For their bf to be attentive to their relationship... I think?) Then he nonchalantly mentions it again three more times we haven't talked... clearly this bothers him. Right? He'll probably be upset I'm blogging about it. Oh well, I need to vent. And another beer. Lol! So true, the story of my life minus the bf because it got to be too much to juggle. Now that I don't have a bf i miss it because sometimes i want to just decompress with the one i love, but then at the same time when i do have him its hard to find the time to decompress. What I'm trying to say is that it's like a catch-00 its hard to win on both ends. Anywhoo, I liked your post.

Alaska Department of Health and Social Services Commissioner Adam Crum has invoked his authority under state law to immediately assume management of Alaska Psychiatric Institute. Commissioner Crum has contracted with Wellpath Recovery Solutions, a nationally recognized health care company with a proven record of success, to provide administrative leadership of the facility with continued oversight from the state. "During the course of recent investigations at API, we determined immediate steps were needed to protect patients and staff and ensure complete compliance with federal regulations, which also allows the facility to continue to receive federal funds," said Crum. He recognized that serious efforts have been made towards addressing the deficiencies identified by federal and state authorities, but progress is not being made quickly enough. "While additional security measures have recently been implemented at API to better ensure patient and staff safety, contracting with Wellpath was deemed necessary to further address safety and patient rights issues and bring the facility rapidly into complete compliance with federal and state standards," he said. Alaska state law (AS 00.00.000) allows for the commissioner to assume either temporary or permanent management of a licensed health care entity when there is reasonable cause to believe there is a danger to the health, safety or welfare of individuals receiving care from that entity. Wellpath will provide administrative oversight with the intent of correcting problems of patient and staff safety and patient rights, bringing the hospital into rapid compliance with its regulatory bodies, improving the therapeutic environment, and preparing the hospital to return to its full capacity by June 00, 0000. During the initial phase of the contract, Wellpath will bring in a team of experts to fill key leadership positions at API to support the successful completion of their mission. All API staff will remain in their positions as State of Alaska employees. Gavin Carmichael will continue as API's acting chief executive officer. If Wellpath is successful in the first phase, the company will assume full responsibility of API after July 0, 0000. Wellpath, which merged with Correct Care Solutions and Correctional Medical Group Companies, has had success bringing facilities similar to API back into compliance with CMS and Joint Commission standards. In Massachusetts, Wellpath substantially improved conditions at the Bridgewater State Hospital after assuming operations in 0000. All hospitals managed by Wellpath are fully accredited by the Joint Commission. A press conference will take place this morning with Crum, representatives from the Alaska Mental Health Trust, the Alaska Behavioral Health Association, North Star Behavioral Health, Alaska Regional Hospital and Fairbanks Memorial Hospital. "By taking this step with the support of the health care community, the State of Alaska and our health care partners can begin to seriously address API's longstanding problems and Alaska's behavioral health crisis," Crum said. Finally. This is where they located Byron Mallott, who checked into the API Hotel back in November. If he hasn't paid room and board, and for group therapy, then the new Commish should send him packing and charge him for back rent and mental services. Things were getting a little too comfy for Mallott during his long hideout. TOOK sooo long, we owe EVERY LEVEL OF EVERY PERSON UNDER THAT ROOF...DESERVES THE MOST PROFESSIONAL TREATMENT. ONLY those who belong there should be there. Kudos to Commissioner Crum. It is about time someone stepped in and took a failing system by the horns. This didn't start with the Walker administration; it was made terribly worse with the Walker administration. More insurance issues? What the state has never projected and proven is that there are no experts in Alaska and this new commissioner is not an expert either.. When you come in the back door, as this person has done, the problem still persists and will on into the future. If the Walker Administration had the problem all that time, four years, and this group sees an opening to stomp on the new administration, I hate to think of the future mental health of this state. We have a new governor that has not finished filling positions. Evidently, the hospitals feel like they can "bully" anyone into believing they are making the right move. The hospitals are scared. They could lose some critical funding and are pulling the "wool" over your eyes trying to make the residents of this state believe that their move is the best thing to do. Where is the new State Attorney while this junk goes on? I think I am going to like our new Commissioner of HHS! Liking someone and looking at the manipulation of that person are two different factors. This state does not know this person. secondly, the decision to put a mental health consortium at the wheel of our state says that he read the permanent dividend fund prospectus and it looked better than what he is use too. A mental health organization in touch with the prison systems of Florida and through Tennessee? Ask more questions than making that statement. Grabbing power is what he exhibited and that is not all right, not with the men, women and children that have to have services out of the API. Remember, there are no experts in this state and there never were. Do you remember Hallodon Hal? Well, everything you read in the Anchorage Daily News is right on. In 00 years plus that API has not been managed at all. Look to the Boards and the level of practiced and licensing that has been dumped on this state and the people in it. No one asks questions, you all just sit around and say its all right. No, this is not all right. I wouldn't put the mental healthcare of the state in the hands of anyone who was too far into corrections and prison background on their resume. API is in need of Neurologists with expert related backgrounds. This guy doesn't have it and never will. Where is this illustrious new Attorney General for the State of Alaska? Hiding in the shadows? What is the Attorney General supposed to do? Indict or sue somebody? That'll only add more months or years of nothing getting done. How does that help the patients that are suffering now? The Attorney General prosecutes those who take advantage of the vulnerable, men, women and children in this state. He is suppose to keep his law section that handles these issues on point. Has he done that yet? Doesn't look like it........

So just finished watching and recording a podcast review for TRANSFORMERS:THE LAST KNIGHT, and I am just going to say, this has to be the worst Michael Bay movie yet. I can't imagine how a giant-budget movie like this got green-lit, and I'm a guy that actually enjoyed Suicide Squad when I saw it in the theater. Don't get me wrong, I don't automatically hate Michael Bay movies. I loved the first Transformers, and the second Turtles movie was pretty good too. But there is a storytelling and visual style that Michael Bay is known for, and that is usually ridiculously big explosions and effects (good) but silly or inconsistent plot writing and characters (not as good). Still, if you promise you'll show me Optimus Prime punching a giant bug-robot in the face, then I'll forgive a lot of plot holes and silliness. But this movie did not have enough robot fights or explosions to overcome the stupidity of the characters and plot and whatever the hell was supposed to be happening on screen. Not even close. It turns out that forgiveness only goes so far. THE LAST KNIGHT far. If Michael Bay was for some reason secretly trying to actually torpedo the Transformers property, well then he couldn't have done a better job. By Hera! Wonder Woman is finally here to save the DC Cinematic Universe! Cory, Suzy, and JC get pull out their bracers of deflection and review the Heroine from Paradise Isle. So grab your shield and unhook your lasso, because these superhero fanatics are about to drop some serious truth about Wonder Woman!

Almost every day, a new approach for enhancing GXP compliance is proposed, espoused, or encouraged. Yet, our industry continues to experience problems with non-compliance. Some of these result only in adverse publicity for the recipient, though some result in potentially serious safety issues for consumers. Is there anything truly new that can help us assess potential GXP concerns and, thus, drive compliance enhancement? Perhaps not. Nonetheless, I would like to pose a new way of looking at compliance that can possibly stimulate a new way of looking at these issues. I call this the contrarian's approach to enhancing GXP compliance. You may have heard of contrarian investors... individuals that invest in companies experience bad news. A contrarian is someone that opposes or rejects popular opinion. In the world of compliance, a contrarian is not apt to automatically believe all the good audit reports they receive or the good inspection history of the site. The contrarian's approach to compliance involves looking for bad news, not merely looking for what is going well. The contrarian asks the truly hard questions of compliance. Let's look at a few questions that can stimulate the contrarian's approach. Ask these example questions of your team to generate alternative viewpoints of your own current compliance position. If we have a recall next week, what will be the issue that caused it? Could we prevent it today, if we knew it? If two individuals in your lab wanted to dry lab results, how could they do it given your current systems and protection of data? What would we have to do to prevent it? What will be the primary concern noted on the next Warning Letter your firm receives? Do we have to accept that this will happen or change we change the future if we act today? If your only job was preventing the next batch failure, what actions would you take today? What would you do if your job was literally in the balance? If an angry employee wanted to sabotage a batch of product by mislabeling a few units, how would they do it? Is it possible that one angry individual could destroy your reputation as a company? If someone wanted to hide your next stability (or sterility or environmental) failure, how would they do it? What systems have to be defeated for an individual to hide an undesired result? If an operator needed to make unauthorized and undetected changes to a manufacturing process, how would they do it? Can you devise systems to prevent it? These are only example questions. You could develop your own depending upon your operations. However, the concept is simple... if you wanted to foil your systems, could you do it and, if so, how? Or, if something bad was going to happen, what would it be and could you prevent it now, if you knew it? GXP compliance is much more than following a checklist. It involves thinking beyond the regulations and seeking deeper, more complex answers. When you actually believe all the good audit reports you get each month, you are failing to recognize the underlying potential for disaster that could await. Think about using the contrarian's approach to identifying possibilities that until today have not been adequately considered. ← Life is simple... so, why do we make it so hard?

Switzerland does not have a CFC regime. However, according to the case law of the Swiss Federal Supreme Court, companies with statutory seats located abroad, but who have little or no local substance and are effectively managed in Switzerland may be subject to Swiss income tax. For finance companies, the maximum debt allowed is 0/0 of their total assets. In addition, the FTA publishes annually safe harbour interest rates for loans granted to related parties. Interest paid on debt exceeding the maximum debt allowed and interest rates exceeding the safe harbour interest rates are requalified as a hidden dividend if paid to a shareholder or a related party. Consequently, such interest is not a deductible expense for federal and cantonal income tax purposes and is subject to withholding tax at a rate of 00% (which may be reduced under a relevant tax treaty). However, the rules set out above are merely safe harbour rules and allow the taxpayer to prove that different arm's length debt-to-equity ratio and interest rates apply. Swiss codified tax law contains very few rules relating to transfer pricing questions. As a general rule, Swiss law states that (i) expenses of a company must be commercially justified and (ii) profits not shown in the profit and loss statement of a company must still be included in its taxable profit. Based on these general rules, Swiss tax authorities can correct intra-group transactions that are not at arm's length. In determining whether an intra-group transaction is at arm's length or not, the Swiss administrative practice generally follows the OECD transfer pricing guidelines. As previously mentioned, the FTA publishes yearly rules regarding safe harbour interest rates for loans and advances between related parties, in various currencies. This publication provides for maximum rates regarding loans from the shareholders or related parties to the company, and minimum rates regarding loans from the company to shareholders or related parties. It is possible to obtain an advance pricing agreement (‘APA') with the Swiss tax authorities. In general, the cantonal tax authorities are competent for granting unilateral APAs, whereas bi- or multilateral APAs, as well as unilateral APAs regarding Swiss withholding tax, are negotiated with the involvement of the FTA. The US has comprehensive CFC rules, which have been further expanded by TCJA to include a global minimum tax of 00.0% on most CFC profits of a US corporate shareholder. Under longstanding CFC rules, a controlling US shareholder of a CFC is subject to current US taxation on any so-called Subpart F income of the CFC. Subpart F income is intended to capture what Congress perceived to be "tax haven" income, and thus includes certain interest, dividends, rents, royalties and gains, as well as certain income from sale of property and provision of services involving related parties. An exception to subpart F income is provided for income subject to a local country tax of at least 00% of US the corporate rate (now 00.0% = 00% * 00%). In addition, the TCJA introduced a new category of income captured by the CFC regime - so-called "Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income" (GILTI). GILTI consists of all income of the shareholders' CFCs that is not subpart F income (or eligible for certain limited exceptions), to the extent that such income exceeds a 00% return on the CFC's investment in tangible assets used in its trade or business (measured by tax basis). GILTI is fully included in taxable income of the US shareholder on a current basis in each year, with a 00% deduction provided for US corporate shareholders that results in an effective US tax rate of 00.0%. Foreign tax credits are allowed against US tax on both subpart F income and GILTI. The TCJA also added the US's first comprehensive thin capitalization test through amended Code Section 000(j). As amended Section 000(j) limits interest deductions of corporations and other businesses to 00% of adjusted taxable income. New Code Section 000(j) applies to all debt, whether third party or intercompany, whether the lender is US or foreign, and regardless of the US corporation's debt-equity ratio. "Adjusted taxable income" is defined generally as US taxable income without regard to interest expense, loss carryforwards, and for taxable years beginning before January 0, 0000, depreciation or amortization (i.e., EBITDA). After 0000, deductions for depreciation or amortization are no longer added back, so that interest expense is limited to 00% of EBIT. Interest expense deductions that are disallowed carry forward indefinitely. As noted above, Code Section 000 and the regulations thereunder provide a comprehensive set of transfer pricing rules. In addition, strict liability penalties apply to transfer pricing adjustments in excess of certain thresholds, unless the taxpayers has maintained contemporaneous documentation with the filing of the original tax return in a form specified by the transfer pricing regulations. Advanced Pricing Agreements (APAs) are available from the IRS on a prospective basis. In the case of transactions between the US Company and an affiliate in a treaty country, bi-lateral and multi-lateral APAs are also available involving the IRS and the other competent authorities. The FTC provides for a CFC rule that constitutes an exception to the territoriality principle: only profits derived from activities carried out in France are taxable in France. According to this rule, profits realised by an entity, which is, directly or indirectly, more than 00%, owned by a French company and which is located in a privileged tax regime country, are deemed to be received by the French company in due proportion of the shares owned and therefore, are to be taxed in France. An entity is considered to be located in a privileged tax regime country if the effective corporate tax rate applied in this country is at least 00% lower than France's. the amount of interest paid to related parties exceeds the amount of interest received from related parties. The portion of interest paid which exceeds the highest of the three set criteria is not deductible. These rules can be extended to interest borne with respect to a bank loan when certain guarantees have been granted by affiliated companies to the lender. Anti-hybrid stipulation, which forbids the deduction of interests, if the creditor is not taxable, at least at 0.00% (i.e. 00% of the French CIT) on the financial proceeds. The FTA applies the arm's length principle: prices applied to transactions between related parties must be similar to prices that would have been agreed upon for transactions between independent companies. If not, the FTA may presume an indirect transfer of profits from the French company to its foreign affiliate and reassess its taxable income accordingly, that is to the extent of the amount deemed to have been unduly shifted. The burden of proof regarding an indirect transfer of profits lies with the tax authorities. The rules aiming at limiting the deductibility of the interest should be deeply amended by the 0000 Finance Bill in order to transpose the Anti Avoidance Directive ('ATAD') into the French interest limitation regime. The Finance bill should limit the deduction of net financial charges (including debts subscribed with a Bank or a third party) to either 00 % of the entity's EBITDA or 0 million euros (if higher) with a calculation made at the group level. The "rabot" would be removed and the thin-capitalization rules would be deeply amended. The FTC provides for the possibility of a bilateral advance pricing agreement between multinational companies and the tax authorities which would aim at fixing the transfer pricing method to be used in cross-border transactions. The State Aid action has not dramatically changed the situation, but just increased the already thorough examination of the APA requests. Interest paid to related parties located in a tax haven or privileged tax regime jurisdictions is deductible provided that the expenses are necessary and the debt with such related party does not exceed 00% of the Brazilian company's equity. Additionally, Brazil does also provide for CFC rules, which in general, impose taxation on undistributed profits from foreign controlled and affiliated companies. Accordingly, profits from foreign controlled companies should be considered deemed distributed to the Brazilian controlling company by December 00 of each calendar year. On the other hand, provided that some conditions are met, profits derived from foreign affiliates not located in tax haven or privileged tax regimes jurisdictions are only subject to taxation in Brazil when they are effectively distributed. Moreover, Brazilian transfer pricing rules were enacted by Law 0,000/00 and its subsequent amendments. Such rules introduced transfer pricing controls, in order to avoid undervaluation of export prices, or overvaluation of import prices, for purposes of calculating corporate income taxes (Income tax - "IRPJ" - and Social Contribution on Profits Tax - "CSLL"). Transfer pricing rules are applicable to any import or export of goods, services and rights, performed between a Brazilian company and a related party abroad, or a party located in a tax haven or privileged tax jurisdiction. There are five methods to calculate import transfer price, as well as there are four methods to calculate export transfer price. For import transactions, if the actual import price is higher than the calculated transfer price, the taxpayer cannot deduct the difference for purposes of IRPJ and CSLL. For export transactions, if the actual price is lower than the applicable transfer price, the difference shall be computed for IRPJ and CSLL purposes. It is worth mentioning that the Brazilian transfer pricing rules differ from the OECD Guidelines related to the referred subject. Accordingly, Brazilian rules adopt fixed margins to calculate the transfer price, instead of the arm's length principles. Finally, please note that the transfer pricing rules do also apply to loan transactions between foreign related parties. (iii) the income of the controlled foreign corporation is low-taxed, which means that the tax levied is below 00%. However, the German CFC rules provide for an exemption for corporations which have their statutory seat or their place of effective management within the EU or EEA. Such corporations may prove that their business has economic substance, they exercises genuine commercial activities and adhere to the arm's-length-principle. In that case, the EU/EEA corporations will not be deemed to constitute a controlled foreign corporation under the German CFC rules. Germany operates a thin-capitalization regime, the so-called interest barrier rule. Generally, the interest barrier rule is applicable if the annual net interest expenses amounts to or exceeds EUR 0 Million. Under the interest barrier rule, the tax deductibility of interest expense on any debt of a company is restricted to the amount of the interest income plus 00% of the company's EBITDA for tax purposes. The taxable EBITDA differs from the financial EBITDA because it is based on the taxable income of the company only. Therefore, any tax free income is not part of the taxable EBITDA. There are various exceptions and counter-exceptions to the interest barrier rule, e.g. for non-group companies. There is currently a proceeding pending before the Federal Constitutional Court whether or not the interest barrier rule is in line with German constitutional law. Germany operates a transfer pricing regime. As a matter of principle, transfer prices and any transaction between related parties have to be in line with the arm's-length principle. There are several statutory rules to determine the transfer prices for products, services or the transfer of functions. According to these rules, the prevailing methods for determining transfer prices are the cost plus method, the comparable unrelated price method and the reselling method. In principle, the full range of the values calculated by the different methods can be applied. Germany has strict rules with respect to the documentation of transfer prices. Violations of the documentation rules may lead to adverse consequences as the tax authorities are authorized to adjust transfer prices. Furthermore, there are penalties in case certain transfer pricing documentation requirements are not met. (iii) a country-by-country reporting (if group consolidated revenues of at least EUR 000 Million). Unilateral as well as multilateral advance pricing agreements are available in Germany. Ireland does not have a thin capitalization regime. Ireland has had transfer pricing rules since 0000. The transfer pricing rules must be interpreted in a manner consistent with the OECD transfer pricing guidelines. Somewhat unusually the Irish transfer pricing rules only apply to "trading" transactions that benefit from the 00.0% corporation tax rate. Ireland has a formal advance pricing agreement ("APA") program. Only bilateral or multilateral APAs are possible. It is not possible to agree a unilateral APA with Irish Revenue. The Mexican Income Tax Law provides several General Anti-Avoidance Rules, including thin cap rules, transfer pricing policies and CFC, to name a few. The Mexican Income Tax Law establishes that income obtained by Mexican residents or foreign residents with a Mexican permanent establishment through foreign entities or vehicles in which they participate, directly or indirectly, is considered to be derived from a preferential tax regime or "Refipre" and must therefore be taxed according to the Refipre rules, if such income is (i) not subject to tax abroad or is subject to tax at a rate lower than 00% of the income tax that would have been due and payable in Mexico on such income, if it had been obtained directly by a Mexican resident, or (ii) earned through foreign legal vehicles or entities that are tax transparent abroad. For such purposes, the Refipre rules take into account income obtained in cash, in kind, in services or in credit through foreign legal entities or vehicles and those which are presumptively determined by the Mexican tax authorities, even when such income has not been distributed to Mexican residents. In general, Mexican residents who obtain income from a Refipre must recognize it as taxable in Mexico during the year in which the income was derived, even if such income is not distributed to them by the foreign legal entity or vehicle that received it. The Mexican Income Tax Law provides, as a general rule, that interest expenses incurred by Mexican entities are deductible on an accrual basis, subject to certain limitations amongst of which is that if interest expenses are paid to a non-resident related party, a 0 to 0 debt to equity ratio must be met; otherwise, any portion of the interest payments to foreign based related parties exceeding such ratio shall be non-deductible. This rule does allow for exceptions when it comes to debt contracted by taxpayers that are part of the Mexican financial system or that are engaged in the construction, operation or maintenance of productive infrastructure linked to the development of strategic sectors or electricity generation. Transactions between related parties should comply with the arms' length principle and be properly supported from a Mexican transfer pricing perspective (i.e., by a transfer pricing report), following the essential principles established under the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines. Under current legislation, it is in fact possible for companies to obtain APAs with the tax authorities. These rulings may be effective in the fiscal year during which the relevant request was made, in the preceding fiscal year and up to the three fiscal years following the year in which the request was made. The Norwegian CFC regime (No.: NOKUS) is applicable to Norwegian shareholders (i.e. shareholders, corporate or individual, resident in Norway for tax purposes) that directly or indirectly own at least 00 per cent of the shares or capital of a foreign company which is resident in a low-tax jurisdiction. For the purposes of these rules a jurisdiction is considered to be a low-tax jurisdiction if the effective taxation of the company is less than two thirds of what would be the effective taxation had the company been resident in Norway. It is not the headline tax rate but the effective tax rate which is relevant. The profits of the foreign company are attributed proportionally to the Norwegian shareholders irrespective of whether any distributions are actually made. A binding black list and a non-binding white list of jurisdictions with sufficient/insufficient taxation levels are issued by the Norwegian tax administration annually. The CFC rules are not applicable to companies resident within the the European Economic Area (EEA), provided the company is genuinely established and actually performs economic activities. The analysis must be based on an overall assessment, and the Norwegian shareholder must provide evidence to the tax authorities that the substance requirement is met. In addition, if the company is not resident in a country with which Norway has entered into a tax treaty, which contains an information exchange clause, the company must present a statement from the tax authorities in its country of incorporation which confirms that the information provided is correct. Further, the CFC rules are not applicable in situations where the company is resident in a country with which Norway has entered into a tax treaty for the avoidance of double taxation, and the company's income is not mainly of a passive nature. Norwegian tax law contains no specific statutory or regulatory prescriptions on thin capitalisation but refers to the arm's length principle. All interest paid is, as a main rule, deductible. The tax authorities may contest the deductibility of interest paid to a parent company if the paying company is thinly capitalised. There is no general rule or safe harbour rule prescribing when the company is thinly capitalised or not. The assessment must be based on a number of factors such as the business sector of the company, the EBITDA of the company, and the debt-to-equity ratio of the company. The interest deduction limitation rules state that interest expenses exceeding interest income (i.e. net interest expense) could be fully deducted if the total amount of net interest expense does not exceed NOK 0 mill. during the fiscal year, or if the interest is paid to a non-related party. Otherwise, net interest expense paid to a related party is deductible to the extent that internal and external interest expense combined does not exceed 00 per cent of the taxable EBITDA of the company. Parties are considered related in cases where one party has ownership or controls 00 per cent or more of the other party. External loans guaranteed by a related party of the borrower (tainted debt) are also covered under the rule. The interest deduction limitation rule applies to limited liability companies, and other similar companies and entities. It also applies to partnerships, shareholders in CFCs and foreign companies with permanent establishments in Norway. Financial institutions are exempt from the interest deduction rule. The Norwegian Ministry of Finance has proposed to extend the interest deduction limitation rules to include external debt, and a consultation procedure on the proposal was completed in 0000. The proposal was expected to be followed up in the national budget for 0000. However, the ministry has announced it still worked on the proposed amendments. The rules are expected to be introduced with effect for the income year of 0000. Transfer pricing documentation rules impose an obligation for companies to prepare specific transfer pricing documentation as an attachment to their tax returns. Reporting requirements and transfer pricing documentation rules apply to companies that own or control, directly or indirectly, at least 00 % of another legal entity. A Norwegian permanent establishment with its head office in a foreign country, and a foreign permanent establishment with its head office in Norway, are covered by the rules. Furthermore, partnerships where one or more of the partners are taxable in Norway are also covered by the rules. The taxpayer must generally be prepared to file transfer pricing documentation (type and volume of the transactions, functional analysis, comparable analysis, and a report of the transfer pricing method used) within 00 days of a written notice from the tax authorities. Norwegian tax authorities do not have a formal procedure to issue unilateral APAs. It is, however, possible to discuss the transfer pricing principles with the tax authorities. The Ministry of Finance has announced that they are considering introducing APA regulations, but they have not yet done so. In the case of sales of gas between related parties, a special APA procedure exists within the oil tax authorities, but so far this has not been used much in practice. Recently, Norway has opened up for mutual APA negotiations with other countries, but only a handful of pilot cases have so far been dealt with under such MAP/APA approach. Controlled foreign corporation (CFC) rules may apply to Italian resident persons controlling non-resident companies, partnerships or other entities established in jurisdictions (other than EU Member States and EEA Member States) where the nominal tax rate is lower than 00 per cent of the Italian nominal tax rate. They may apply also in respect of companies, partnerships or other entities established outside the above jurisdictions if (i) the CFC is subject to a foreign effective tax rate lower than 00 per cent of the effective tax rate that would have applied if the CFC were resident of Italy, and (ii) the CFC realizes profits that qualify as passive income or profits from intra-group services for more than 00 per cent. Italy repealed its thin cap regime as from tax year 0000. Italy applies an interest limitation regime whereby, in each tax year, companies can deduct interest expenses up to the amount of their interest income. The excess can be deducted for an amount equal to 00% of EBITDA of the relevant year. The excess 00% EBITDA as well as the interest expenses non-deductible in a given tax year can be carried forward and used or deducted in following tax years. Italy applies transfer pricing legislation largely consistent with the OECD arm's length standard. The legislation has been recently endorsed in order to reflect the latest changes to the OECD Transfer Pricing Guidelines and the tax authorities usually make reference to such Guidelines. As above indicated (see answer to question 0 above), a taxpayer may apply for a unilateral advance pricing agreement. If the other country involved in the cross border transactions signed a double tax treaty with Italy, the taxpayer can apply for a bilateral advance pricing agreement. the annual total gross revenue of the foreign company in the related period in foreign currency exceeds the equivalent of TRY 000,000. If these conditions are fulfilled, the profits of the CFC will be included in the corporate tax base of the controlling resident company, and it will be subject to taxation in Turkey without consideration of whether or not the profits are distributed. The thin capitalization issue is covered in Article 00 of the CITL. According to this article, if the borrowings from shareholders or from persons related to shareholders exceeds three times the shareholders equity of the borrower company at any time within the relevant year, the excess portion of the borrowing will be considered to be thin capital. "Related parties" is defined as shareholders and persons who are related to the shareholders that own 00% or more of the shares, voting rights or rights to receive dividends of the company. The shareholders equity of the borrower company is defined as the total amount of the shareholders equity of the corporation at the beginning of the fiscal year, or the difference between the assets and liabilities of the company. If the company has negative shareholders equity at the beginning of the year, then any borrowings from related parties will be considered to be thin capital. If thin capitalization exists, the interest paid or accrued, foreign exchange losses and other similar expenses calculated for the loans that are considered to be thin capital are treated as non-deductible for CIT purposes. Moreover, the interest paid or accrued and similar payments on thin capital will be treated at the end of the relevant fiscal year as dividends and will be subject to withholding tax. Specific transfer pricing rules are valid in Turkey as of 0 January 0000 under Article 00 of the CITL, entitled "Disguised Profit Distribution through Transfer Pricing". The regulations in Article 00 follow the arm's-length principle established by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Transfer Pricing Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises and Tax Administrations (OECD Guidelines), and are applicable to all financial, economic and commercial transactions and employment relations between related parties. Details on the application of Article 00 are provided in a communiqué regarding disguised profit distribution through transfer pricing. Turkish transfer pricing (TP) legislation is part of the CITL. The arm's-length principle, which is defined in line with OECD Guidelines and Article 0 of the OECD Model Tax Convention, is described in Article 00 of the CITL, along with a detailed definition of related parties and the introduction of methods to be applied to determine arm's-length prices. According to the CITL, related parties must set transfer prices for the purchase and sale of goods and services equal to those they would have agreed to had they been unrelated parties. A comprehensive definition of what constitutes a related party is found in Article 00 of the CITL. The definition of related party in Turkish transfer pricing regulations is very broad, and it includes direct and indirect involvement in management or control, in addition to the existence of a shareholder/ownership relationship. In addition to transactions with foreign group companies, the scope of the law also includes transactions with entities that are based in tax havens or jurisdictions those are considered harmful tax regimes by the Turkish government. Principles of transfer pricing documentation are covered in a TP communiqué. The communiqué introduced two different types of documentation liability for taxpayers. Accordingly, taxpayers need to fill out the form in the appendix of the corporate income tax return with information on the goods and services purchased and sales transactions they perform with their related parties in each accounting period. Furthermore, taxpayers registered with the Directorate of Major Taxpayers Tax Office are obliged to prepare an annual transfer pricing report including the information and documents stipulated by the communiqué and in the format defined in the same communiqué. These reports are completed to reflect the domestic and overseas transactions carried out with related parties in each accounting period and overseas transactions carried out in a given accounting period with other corporate income tax payers and their related parties. They need to be completed by the submission date of the corporate income tax return and to be submitted upon demand to the authority or officials authorized to carry out tax inspections after the end of these given periods. The legislation requires documentation as part of the transfer pricing rules describing how Turkish taxpayers should keep documented evidence within the company in case of a request from the tax authorities. The documentation must show how the arm's length price was determined and the methodology selected and applied using any fiscal records, calculations and charts available to the taxpayer. An advance pricing agreement is a method used to determine the prices for purchases or sales of goods or services between related parties, and may be agreed upon with the Ministry of Finance upon a taxpayer request. This approved method will be fixed for a maximum period of three years within the terms and conditions of the agreement. If the administration finds the agreement interests more than one country, and if there are already APAs with another/other country/countries, the administration may consider a bilateral or multilateral agreement. In practice, the APA process changes according to the complexity and type (unilateral, bilateral or multilateral) of agreement, and the process cannot be completed in fewer than 00 to 00 months, on average. A) As for the CFC rule, Japanese tax law has "anti-tax haven" rules, or a Japanese version of the CFC rules. These rules have been overhauled by the 0000 annual tax reform in response to the BEPS Action Plan 0, and applies to Japanese shareholders from the fiscal years of the CFC beginning on or after April 0, 0000. If the Japanese CFC rules apply, the Japanese corporation that is a shareholder of the CFC will be taxed upon its pro rata share of certain adjusted income of the CFC (to be calculated based on the CFC's total income and gains) . In general, Japanese CFC rules apply if (i) Japanese resident individuals and Japanese corporations collectively own directly or indirectly more than 00% of the total issued shares, voting rights or rights to receive dividends of a foreign corporation; (ii) a particular Japanese resident individual or a Japanese corporation (which is the subject taxpayer) owns directly or indirectly 00% or more of the total issued shares, voting rights or rights to receive dividends of that foreign corporation; and (iii) the effective income tax burden (rather than the face or nominal tax rate) of that foreign corporation in a given fiscal year is less than (i) 00% for certain shell-company CFCs and cash-box-company CFCs or (ii) 00% for all other CFCs. Typical examples include Cayman Islands, Hong Kong and Singapore subsidiaries of a Japanese corporation. It should be noted that tax-exempt income and gains in the foreign jurisdiction will lower the effective income tax burden; for example, if a Dutch subsidiary of a Japanese corporation is exempt from substantial amount of capital gains by the Dutch participation exemption, the effective income tax burden in that fiscal year could be less than 00%, despite the Dutch statutory corporate tax rate of 00%. That will make the Dutch subsidiary a CFC for that fiscal year. However, exemption of dividends received by the Dutch subsidiary from foreign companies by the participation exemption will not lower the effective income tax burden (this treatment is only limited to dividends). Even if the Japanese CFC rules apply because all the conditions explained above are met, there is an active business income exemption. That is, if the CFC meets all of the following criteria, the Japanese CFC rules apply only to the extent of the CFC's certain enumerated passive income (rather than the CFC's total income including active income): (i) the principal business of the CFC is other than financial investments in shares, bonds or IPs or leasing of vessels, (ii) the CFC is managed and administered on its own within the jurisdiction of its incorporation, rather than from Japan, (iii) the CFC maintains physical fixed premises such as offices and factories within the jurisdiction of its incorporation that is necessary to do its business, and (iv) depending on the type of business, the CFC does business principally within the jurisdiction of its incorporation (e.g., manufacturing) or deals with unrelated third parties to account for 00% or more of the total business transactions (e.g., distribution, transportation). If all these elements are met, the CFC's income to be aggregated with the Japanese shareholder's income will be limited to passive income, such as (a) dividends and capital gains from shares (but excluding those where the shareholding ratio is 00% or more for at least 0 months), (b) interest on deposits, bonds and loans (excluding interest from certain qualifying group-financing), (c) income from derivatives (excluding certain qualifying hedges), (d) foreign exchange gains (excluding those arising in the ordinary course of business), (e) royalties and disposition gains from IPs (excluding those where the IP is developed on its own) and (f) leasing income from real properties and fixed properties (excluding real properties located and fixed properties used in the jurisdiction of incorporation of the CFC). The active business income exemption has been expanded to a certain qualifying regional headquarters or intermediate holding company; that is, if a foreign subsidiary incorporated in the Asian-hub low-tax countries such as Singapore and Hong Kong operates as an Asian regional headquarters or as an intermediate holding company for the Japanese parent corporation, subject to certain requirements being met, the CFC will not be disqualified from meeting the condition (i) above (i.e., the principal business of the CFC is other than financial investments in shares), merely because it is a holding company. If the debt giving rise to the interest is owed to a foreign corporation, which is a controlling shareholder (owning directly or indirectly 00% or more of the total shares) of the Japanese corporation, the ‘thin capitalization' rules apply, and, generally speaking, interest payable upon the portion of the debt exceeding three times the shareholders' equity of the Japanese corporation will be nondeductible. The ‘thin capitalization' rules apply not only in the case of direct financing by the controlling shareholder, but also in other similar cases, such as financing by third parties with a guarantee provided by the controlling shareholder. Transfer pricing rules also apply to interest payable to affiliated foreign corporations of the Japanese corporation in order to require that the interest rate be arm's length (i.e., the portion of the interest exceeding the arm's-length rate will be denied deduction). One Japanese court precedent indicates that the arm's-length interest rate generally refers to the rate available in the market for substantially similar finance transactions. Further, as a result of the 0000 annual tax reform, a Japanese version of the ‘earnings stripping' rules has been introduced, and applies from fiscal years beginning on or after April 0, 0000. There, if the ‘net' amount of the interest paid to certain foreign related parties of the Japanese corporation in a fiscal year exceeds 00% of certain ‘adjusted income' (substantially equal to EBITDA, i.e., taxable income before that interest deduction, depreciation, etc.) of that Japanese corporation in that fiscal year (i.e., interest paid to foreign affiliates is excessive as compared to the taxable income), the excess portion of the interest will not be deductible in that fiscal year. The excess portion will be carried forward for seven future fiscal years, however, and will be deductible to the extent the above conditions are met in the relevant future fiscal year. There is a certain de minimis exception, as well as an exception where the gross amount of interest paid to foreign related parties does not exceed 00% of the total gross amount of interest (including interest paid to third parties). The Japanese government is now reviewing whether these earnings stripping rules should be more tightened, in response to the BEPS Action Plan 0, by lowering the threshold percentage rate from 00% to some 00-00%. It should be noted that interest deduction can be denied, even if none of the foregoing regimes is applicable, if the Japanese tax authority considers the relevant debt transaction as avoiding Japanese tax and invokes the anti-avoidance statute applicable to closely-held corporations in the corporation tax law. The Universal Music case mentioned above is an example. C) As to the transfer pricing regime, generally, the Japanese government is of the position that Japanese transfer pricing rules as well as enforcement thereof should closely follow the OECD standards. For example, Japanese transfer pricing rules repealed priority of the three basic methods (CUP, RP and CP) over other methods (PS and TNMM), and adopted the "best method" rule. In addition, it has been made clear that the concept of a "range" of arm's length profit level can be used for Japanese transfer pricing purposes (provided that it means a "full range" predicated upon full comparability, rather than the statistical approach of interquartile range) for the purpose of issuing a transfer pricing assessment. In addition, as a matter of enforcement or transfer pricing audit, it is very common that taxpayers make defensive arguments by referring to the OECD Guidelines along with Japanese local laws and regulations, and the Japanese tax authority generally accepts such arguments as legitimate. Indeed, some tax treaties, e.g., that with the United States, expressly provide that transfer pricing enforcement shall be made in accordance with the OECD Guidelines. It is possible to obtain an advance pricing arrangement (APA) from the tax authority, and it is a very common practice. In an APA, there generally is even more flexibility as compared to transfer pricing audit; e.g., the statistical approach of interquartile range is very commonly used and accepted. However, as an APA requires substantial time, cost and burden to deal with the tax authority (e.g., for responding to information and document requests), taxpayers generally concentrate on intra-group transactions that have significant volume and a large amount of tax at stake in applying for an APA. It is not rare that an APA takes two or three years until concluded. There are no CFC rules in Gibraltar. However, under the general anti-avoidance provision in our Tax Act, the Commissioner may disregard any CFC or transaction with such CFC where the Commissioner believes that it is fictitious or artificial. Interest paid on a loan by a company to related parties (which are not themselves a company) or loans where security is provided by related parties, where the ratio of the value of the loan capital to the equity of the company exceeds 0 to 0 is considered as a dividend payment and thus not a deductible expense for tax purposes. The amount of interest payments to connected persons which is in excess of that payable at "arm's length" is deemed to be a dividend. (iii) 00% of the pre expenses profit. The UK CFC regime is based on rules designed to prevent diversion of UK profits to low tax territories. Where UK profits are diverted to a CFC, those profits are apportioned and charged on a UK corporate interest-holder that holds at least a 00% interest in the CFC. There are a number of exemptions to reflect the fact that the majority of CFCs are established for genuine commercial reasons. The Finance Act 0000 abolished the separate thin capitalization requirements that had existed previously and subsumed them within the general transfer pricing rules in the Taxation (International and Other Provisions) Act 0000 (TIOPA 0000). The UK transfer pricing (TP) regime is contained in Parts 0 and 0 of Taxation (International and Other Provisions) Act 0000. The UK TP regime must be considered in light of the recently implemented Diverted Profits Tax (DPT) rules, which were introduced by the Finance Act 0000. There is also an advanced pricing agreement (APA) programme through which unilateral, bilateral and multilateral APAs can be obtained. The process by which such an agreement can be obtained is detailed in HMRC's Statement of Practice 0/0000. HMRC will determine the taxpayer's DPT position before agreeing to an APA. As a result of the Starbucks and Apple decisions, any business which has secured a favourable APA could, potentially, be at risk of having those arrangements reviewed under the State Aid rules and be faced with having to make significant payments to repay tax benefits received under APAs that, allegedly, do not comply with State Aid rules.
