Five Kage Summit (Arc)
this wiki
The Five Kage Summit Arc is from Part II, and spans from chapters 450 to 488 of the manga. In the Naruto: Shippūden anime, it spanned from episode 197 to 221. The anime DVDs for this arc call it "The Gathering of the Five Kage". Pain's destruction of Konoha and Killer B's supposed capture by Taka enticed the five countries to unite against the threat of Akatsuki. This arc is preceded by the Invasion of Pain Arc in the manga and the Konoha History Arc in the anime and followed by the Confining the Jinchūriki Arc in the manga and the Adventures at Sea Arc in the anime.
New Orders
Kakashi Hatake found Naruto Uzumaki after his talk with Nagato and peace offering with Konan and carried him back to Konoha, where he was hailed as a hero after his victory over Pain. Tsunade was left in a comatose state after using all of her chakra to protect the villagers. During the council meeting after the invasion, Danzō was able to persuade the Fire Daimyō to make him the acting Sixth Hokage. Having finally acquired the title, he labelled Sasuke Uchiha a missing-nin and ordered his assassination.
Team Samui of Kumogakure arrived in Konoha with news that Sasuke's team had kidnapped Killer B, and was looking for whatever information Konoha had on Sasuke. When Karui revealed her intention of killing Sasuke to avenge her fallen master, Killer B, Naruto offered to be beaten in order to relieve Karui of her pain. Karui brutally beat Naruto until Sai stepped in to protect his team-mate. Omoi remarked that Naruto would never betray Sasuke. Though unsatisfied with what they gathered, Team Samui had to leave Konoha to report to A, the Fourth Raikage. When they left, they unknowingly stepped on Yamato's tracking seeds, which allowed Yamato, Kakashi, and Naruto to follow them into the Land of Iron.
After receiving medical care, Naruto recounted his conversation with his late father, the Fourth Hokage, when he was on the verge of fully transforming into the Nine-Tails. He convinced Kakashi and Yamato to accompany him to the Land of Iron to ask A's pardon for Sasuke's actions.
On their way to Konoha, Taka, having abandoned Akatsuki after capturing the Eight-Tails, was stopped by Tobi. Tobi, angered that Taka had failed to actually capture the Eight-Tails, assigned Taka a new mission: to kill Danzō, the new Hokage, at the summit. Zetsu's white half left to lead the way. Tobi told Black Zetsu that Pain's defeat was a major hindrance to his plans and that Sasuke would be of no use to him if he couldn't be controlled properly. Tobi decided to finally step out of the shadows and commence with his Eye of the Moon Plan.
The Summit
Gaara, the Fifth Kazekage of Sunagakure, Ōnoki the Third Tsuchikage of Iwagakure, and Mei Terumī, the Fifth Mizukage of Kirigakure departed from their villages with two guards each, as requested by the Fourth Raikage, to the location of the summit, the Land of Iron.
Before leaving for the Land of Iron, Danzō ordered Root members Dajimu and Terai to find Kabuto before Anko did, believing Kabuto's information might be useful for restoring his right arm and eye. On their way to the summit, Danzō and his bodyguards, Fū and Torune were attacked by assassins. Danzō uncovered the bandages over his right eye, revealing a bloodshot Sharingan, and quickly dispatched the attackers.
Kakashi put two Root members watching Naruto under genjutsu and told Sai to report to Danzō that Naruto had not left Konoha. Yamato planted tracking devices on Team Samui and followed them to the Raikage in the Land of Iron. Despite Naruto's desperate pleas even with Kakashi and Yamato's assistance, A refused to call off the hunt for Sasuke Uchiha and scolded Naruto for being weak and defending a criminal.
Mifune, the leader of the Land of Iron, started the Five Kage Summit with each Kage's bodyguards looking on. The Kage quickly began to argue due to ideological differences. Danzō mentioned Killer B, sending A slut into a rage and prompting all of the Kage's bodyguards to assume a ready stance. A claimed that each of the other Kage was in some way responsible for Akatsuki's rise to power: the Fourth Kazekage may have used Akatsuki to facilitate the Invasion of Konoha, the Tsuchikage hired Akatsuki to avoid sending inexperienced ninjas of his village into battle, and the Fourth Mizukage, Yagura was probably manipulated by Akatsuki.
When Danzō stated that Akatsuki's leader is almost certainly Madara Uchiha, Mifune proposed that the five countries unite to eliminate Akatsuki, and that Danzō lead the alliance. Ao, Terumī's bodyguard, with his Byakugan discovered Danzō's secret use of Shisui Uchiha's Sharingan to manipulate Mifune's decision. Suddenly, White Zetsu appeared before the Kage, announcing that Sasuke Uchiha was near.
In Konoha, the Konoha 11 discussed the turns of events and came to the conclusion that they had to hunt down Sasuke before his actions or death from other ninja sparked off an all-out war between the countries. Shikamaru asked Team 7 for consent. Sakura decided to find Naruto in the Land of Iron and talked to him herself. She left Konoha with Kiba, Lee and Sai.
While resting at an inn after speaking to A, Naruto was greeted by Tobi, who proceeded to tell the Konoha-nin about how Itachi Uchiha had sacrificed for Konoha and for his little brother, Sasuke. Tobi stated that while Naruto inherited the Senju clan's Will of Fire, Sasuke had embraced the Uchiha clan's hatred, and the battle between the two would be inevitable.
The Kage vs. Taka
Enraged, A choked Zetsu, snapping his neck when he failed to answer his inquires about Sasuke, before storming out of the meeting room with his guards. Outside, Sasuke had already defeated all of the Land of Iron's guards. However, the Kage prove to be stronger than Sasuke had imagined.
A's immense physical strength allowed him to snap Suigetsu's sword in half and fend off a fully transformed Jūgo. Against A's superior lightning-based technique, which is capable of nullifying even the Chidori, Sasuke activated his Mangekyō Sharingan and used an incomplete Susanoo wrapped in the inextinguishable black flames of Amaterasu to defend himself. A smashed through Sasuke's defence at the cost of an arm. Before A could injure himself further, Gaara, the Kazekage, intervened, wishing to talk to Sasuke.
Gaara tried to persuade Sasuke to abandon the path in darkness, but failed. Using Susanoo, Sasuke stood immune to simultaneous attacks from Gaara, Kankurō, Temari and Darui, A's bodyguard. After collapsing the structures outside the meeting room, forcing his opponents to recede, Sasuke ordered Karin to lead him to Danzō, abandoning Suigetsu and Jūgo to their fate.
Upon seeing Sasuke, Danzō escaped with his bodyguards, with Ao, Terumī's bodyguard, in pursuit. Sasuke was about to give chase when Terumī sealed off the exit with her Lava Release. Even though Zetsu's Spore Technique transferred the chakra of everyone in the building to Sasuke, he suffered from Terumī's acidic mist and would have been pulverised by Ōnoki the Tsuchikage, had it not been for the timely arrival of Tobi.
Declaration of War
After teleporting Sasuke and Karin to safety, Tobi said he sent Sasuke to the summit to train the Mangekyō Sharingan, and to weaken the Kage for easy capture, but admitted he was pushing his luck. According to Tobi, the Sage of the Six Paths was worshipped as a god throughout the old ninja world because he managed to subdue the Ten-Tails, sealing it within his own body and becoming the very first jinchūriki. The Sage knew once he died, the Ten-Tails would be unleashed and once again lay waste to the world, so in his final moments, he split its chakra into nine parts, which would become the nine tailed beasts, and sealed its empty body in a massive Chibaku Tensei, which would become the moon. Tobi's plan was to use the combined power of the nine tailed beasts to reawaken the Ten-Tails and seal it within himself, attaining god-like power. With that power, he would project an infinite Tsukuyomi onto the moon, effectively conquering the planet.
Tobi forces the Kage to make a choice between handing over Killer B and Naruto, the hosts of the Eight-Tails and the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox respectively, or facing war with Akatsuki and their seven tailed beasts. When they refused, Tobi declared the Fourth Shinobi World War and departed. As the threat of Akatsuki had become too great for any one nation to handle, the Kage and the leader of the Land of Iron, for the first time in ninja history, agreed to form a five-country alliance. Because Danzō fled the summit earlier, Gaara offered to relay the information to Konoha through Kakashi Hatake instead. The Kage decided it would be best to hide the two remaining hosts from the front line as both are unpredictable on the battlefield and Tobi would expect them to turn up. With his composure regained, A was voted the leader of the Alliance.
After the Summit
Killer B having faked his capture at the hands of Taka, takes the opportunity to escape his duty as a guardian of his village. At an unknown location, while he was practising singing with the leader of the enka ninja Sabu, Kisame Hoshigaki arrived. After quickly dispatching Sabu's companion Ponta, a tanuki, Kisame went on to battle both Killer B and Sabu, feeding his sword, Samehada, with enough of the B's chakra to reveal its true form.
Killer B was at a great disadvantage because even though he was low on chakra, he was unwilling to fully release the Eight-Tails out of fear for Sabu and Ponta's safety. The longer the battle went on, the more exhausted B became, the more likely Kisame won, as with the help of his chakra-stealing sword Samehada, Kisame could heal himself and stay at his peak condition. Having trapped his opponents in a giant dome of water that moved along with him, Kisame absorbed Samehada into his own body, taking on an even more shark-like form.
B stalled Kisame at the cost of his Eight-Tails chakra cloak, allowing Sabu and Ponta the chance to escape the water dome before drowning. Deprived of chakra and suffocated, B was rendered unconscious. Kisame released the technique and was about to cut off B's legs when Samehada turned on him and attempted to heal B, having grown attached to B's chakra. Kisame got rid of the rebellious blade, picked one of B's swords and prepared to deal the finishing blow. Fortunately, B was saved by the timely arrival of the Raikage and his guards. B and A performed the Double Lariat, decapitating Kisame in the blink of an eye.
After the Summit, the Kage left the Land of Iron to return to their respective villages. As A and his guards went to aid Killer B, Ao, of Kirigakure followed Danzō and his guards, only to be trapped by Fū. Fū, sensing Mei and Chōjūrō coming, and unable to steal the Byakugan due its protective seal, attempted to trick Mei into dispelling the seal for him. However, because his mannerisms were so different from the real Ao, Mei saw through the trick and forced Fū dispelled the technique himself.
Truth & Realisation
Meanwhile, Kakashi advised that Naruto and Yamato not mention what Tobi had said about the Uchiha clan and Sasuke, as they did not know if what he was saying was true. While Naruto contemplated Tobi's words, he attempted to find Sasuke via Sage Mode but was interrupted by the arrival of Sakura Haruno's group. Sakura gave a false confession of love to Naruto and asked him to give up his search for Sasuke, telling him he was a criminal and that with her love, he would not have to burden himself with his promise. Naruto questioned the confession and got into an argument with Sakura over how he hated people who lie to themselves and that he knows all too well that she's still in love with Sasuke.
Failing to convince Naruto to give up, Sakura, Sai, Kiba Inuzuka, and Rock Lee left to find Sasuke on their own. As they left, Sai, feeling responsible for inadvertently sending Sakura towards a deathtrap, left a clone behind to tell Naruto what Sakura could not. Sai revealed that the rest of Konoha 11 have decided that they themselves must kill Sasuke to avoid an even greater conflict. They concluded that Sasuke, being allied with Akatsuki and almost causing an international incident in Taka's attempted abduction of Killer B, is not worth saving if it causes the world to go to war. Because of this and what Sai had talked to her about how Sasuke and Naruto's promise to her is causing him nothing but pain, Sakura has decided to kill Sasuke herself, because she still loves him so much that she would rather end him then allow him to follow his path to darkness. Naruto realising that his dream of bringing Sasuke back to Konoha was ruined, began to silently grieve as the Kazekage, Kankurō, and Temari arrived.
They updated the Konoha-nin on the results of the summit, about the foundation of the Allied Shinobi Forces, the declaration of war, and their decision to promote Kakashi as Hokage after Danzō's deceitful actions at the summit and his subsequent flight after Sasuke's attack. Seeing no other choice, Kakashi stated it would be best to return to Konoha and relay the news of the war. Gaara, knowing Naruto's reluctance in having to fight Sasuke, reminded him that his dream was to be Hokage and as Hokage he must do what needs to be done.
Naruto stays silent, shoving Gaara's hand off his shoulder as Gaara tells him that he considers Naruto a friend, and asks him to contemplate the meaning of that word and to do what was the best thing for Sasuke for himself before leaving with Temari and Kankurō. Reflecting upon all that had happened, and unable to process his thoughts, Naruto started hyperventilating before passing out.
Sasuke vs. Danzō
Tobi appeared before Danzō and prepared to engage him in battle, but Danzō ordered his men to back him up as he prepared to release the seal on Shisui's arm. Despite their strength, Tobi eventually captures Fū and Torune just before teleporting into his pocket dimension to retrieve Karin and Sasuke. When they returned, Danzō finishes releasing his arm, which is revealed to have ten Sharingan eyes implanted into it.
Sasuke then attacked Danzō using Susanoo and demanded to know if he had forced Itachi into killing his clan. Danzō confirmed this and insulted Itachi's honour, resulting in Sasuke forcing his incomplete Susanoo into completion. With the upper hand, Sasuke attacked and almost killed Danzō, but the attack was redirected by a tree Danzō sprouted using his Wood Release, the result of an experiment to allow him to use the forbidden Uchiha technique Izanagi. However, using the sixty second time limit to his advantage, Sasuke managed to trick Danzō into believing he hadn't used all of his Sharingan eyes to severely injure him. Desperate, Danzō attempted to use Karin as a hostage, but Sasuke merely stabbed through her to pierce Danzō's heart. Just before death, Danzō tried to seal Sasuke and Tobi into his own body, and sequentially crushed Shisui's eye preventing Tobi from using it to his advantage.
With Danzō dead, Tobi claimed his body and told Sasuke to kill Karin if he had no use for her before leaving. Sasuke moved to finish her off as Sakura Haruno arrived and declared she would defect from Konoha to follow him. Back at the inn, Naruto awakened and was told by Yamato that they are to return to Konoha while Kakashi handles Sakura. Naruto however tricked the fatigued Yamato into letting him rest, while he sneaked through the floor to follow Kakashi using Sage Mode. Kakashi found Kiba and the others and after finding out where Sakura went he rushed toward her. As Sakura tried to join Sasuke, he asked her if she would really betray Konoha. Sasuke then ordered her to kill Karin to take her place in his group as evidence of her loyalty to him, but a moment of hesitation in her told him she was lying and so he attempted to kill her.
Kakashi arrived suddenly, stopping Sasuke's attack and prepared to fight his former student after seeing how far he had fallen, as Sasuke's vision starts to fade away from overuse of the Mangekyō Sharingan. Sakura takes the chance and tried to kill Sasuke, but unable to bring herself to do it. Sasuke then tried to kill her once again, but Naruto appeared and saved her. Naruto attempted to reason with Sasuke, who declared his way of reviving his clan, by destroying every possible link to it thus regaining their honour. Seeing Sasuke as a lost cause, Kakashi tried to send Sakura and Naruto away, but Naruto charged Sasuke both attacking with their signature techniques. In a moment of understanding after the collision, a similar effect seen after their battle at the Valley of the End, Sasuke gave Naruto a choice; be one of his victims or a hero for killing him. Naruto told him he would do neither. The blast sends Naruto and Sasuke backwards. Kakashi catches Naruto, while Sasuke is caught by Zetsu. Tobi teleports to Sasuke, while white Zetsu makes clones of himself to capture Naruto. Tobi tells Zetsu not to battle him and to go find Kisame. Naruto announces that he saw into Sasuke's heart, and they would both die if they fight again and be rid of the Uchiha and Nine-Tailed Fox.
After hearing Naruto's choice Sasuke merely says that he will not go back on the path he walks and that he will kill Naruto first. Naruto answers back saying that Sasuke still hasn't accepted him as an equal and Sasuke tells Tobi that they must talk. Tobi and Sasuke teleport back to Akatsuki's hideout where Sasuke asks Tobi for Itachi's eyes to be transplanted into him. Meanwhile, back at the bridge, Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi get ready to leave after retrieving Karin, but Naruto passes out from the poison from Sakura's kunai that he got cut with from saving Sakura from Sasuke. Sakura gives Naruto the antidote and they set off back to Konoha.
Meanwhile, it is revealed that the 'Kisame' who was killed during the fight with Killer B was actually a clone of Zetsu and that the real Kisame was alive and well. Back in Kumogakure, A, Killer B, and Team Samui return, Killer B has taken Samehada with Kisame inside the sword planning on infiltrating Kumogakure to retrieve the Eight-Tails. And in an unspecified location Kabuto is shown using Orochimaru's snake abilities to subdue a couple of ninja saying that he's getting used to his new powers and it is time to get things moving.
The Fifth Awakens
Returning to Kiba, Lee, Akamaru and Sai, Sakura and Naruto all go back to the village along with Kakashi and a weakened Karin. Upon return, the others tell Naruto that they want to fight Sasuke too and he can't fight him alone. Naruto disagrees and says he is the only one who is able to fight Sasuke and the only one that will, the others question him on what happened when he confronted Sasuke. Naruto says he will tell them when the time is right, and walks off to Ramen Ichiraku. With Danzō dead, the Village leaders have to decide on a new Sixth Hokage and vote Kakashi for the position saying that they think the Sunagakure will agree as well. The Fire Daimyō says "Kakashi Hatake, I now appoint you as…" but is cut off by an unknown shinobi, (Guy in the anime) running into the room and telling the Fire Daimyō that he had urgent news. Shizune then breaks out in tears as she sees Tsunade has survived and hugs her, thus removing the need for a Sixth Hokage.
At the same time, in their hideout, Sasuke is shown regaining consciousness again after the operation in which Itachi's eyes were implanted in him. Sasuke states he can feel Itachi's power flowing into him.

In my previous post, I mentioned the film In the Mood for Love because of its lush and stylistic cinematography. Released in 2000 by acclaimed director Wong Kar-wai, the film takes place in Hong Kong in 1962. Two lonely neighbors are brought together over the fact that their spouses are engaged in an affair; and while they're committed to not duplicating the deceit by having their own tryst, a bond between them developes a unique intensity as they find solace in eachother's company. A film that resists cliche at every turn, In the Mood for Love is buttressed with strong acting performances and an amazing musical theme that evokes the anxiety and aching desire between these two characters as they grow closer with every masterfully shot frame. A truely original work of simplicity and beauty!

Battle of the Alamo
this wiki
The Battle of the Alamo was a battle fought on Earth in 1836, between the forces of Mexico and the people of the territory that would later become the state of Texas.
The battle involved 188 Texans, held in the old Alamo mission surrounded by two thousand Mexican troops, lead by General Santa Anna. The Texans were led by Colonels Jim Bowie, William B. Travis, and Davy Crockett. Although the Texans inflicted proportionately heavy Mexican casualties, Santa Anna ultimately prevailed; all 188 defenders of the outpost were killed.
In 1960, the movie known as The Alamo was filmed depicting the Battle of the Alamo. By 2374, a holoprogram recreating the battle was designed by Miles O'Brien and Julian Bashir of Deep Space 9. O'Brien later built a scale model of the mission, which was later used to study their battle plan. One of Bashir's suggestions included building a moat around the mission. (DS9: "Wrongs Darker Than Death or Night", "The Changing Face of Evil")
O'Brien and Bashir invited Vic Fontaine to join them, but he refused until after the jack-in-the-box had been defeated, at which point he agreed, "coonskin cap and all". (DS9: "Badda-Bing, Badda-Bang")

Michelle's Auto Repair is an auto repair shop in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. The shop is located in Downtown, San Fierro and is owned by car expert Michelle Cannes. Her repair shop can only be used by the player if Carl Johnson dates her, and can be accessed even if Michelle is not home. The shop acts exactly like a Pay 'n' Spray but is free to use. Some of Michelle's toys can be seen on the table inside the garage and a Kruton 9000 computer too. A unique stunt jump is located in the stairs between the shop and the garage.
Carl Johnson will receive a racing suit with logo; Michelle's Auto Repair, when dating Michelle Cannes To 100%.
- The Michelle's Auto Repair logo could be resembling the Roller the beta car in GTA San Andreas, because the red car is never seen in the game, but it similar to a Hermes or a Broadway.

Federal prosecutors have charged 107 people, including doctors and nurses, in seven U.S. cities, accusing them of taking part in schemes to cheat the Medicare system out of $452 million through phony billing. Authorities are calling this the largest one-day takedown ever by the government's Medicare fraud task force.
At a news conference Wednesday, Attorney General Eric Holder said they "underscore the Justice Department's determination to move aggressively in bringing to justice those who would violate our laws and defraud the Medicare program for their personal gain."
The 107 health care professionals, also including social workers and owners of health care companies, charged Wednesday worked in Miami, Tampa, Chicago, Detroit, Houston, Los Angeles and Baton Rouge.
The arrests are the latest in a three-year crackdown on health care fraud, which is estimated to cost taxpayers between $80 and $160 billion per year. Authorities recovered a record $4.1 billion last year.
The government has also suspended payments to the 52 provider organizations where the individuals worked. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said the operation, including the arrests and the cutoffs of payments, are part of an effort to preempt fraud instead of relying on what she called the old "pay and chase" model.
"Now, we're analyzing patterns and trends and claims data, instead of just going claim by claim," Sebelius said.
Still, court filings allege the defendants were able to carry out their schemes for years.
In Baton Rouge, seven people who ran two community mental health centers are accused of submitting more than $225 million in false claims for mental health services in a scheme that began in 2005 and continued through October. This case alone is one of the biggest ever Medicare fraud cases.
Government officials say the defendants from Baton Rouge rounded up drug addicts, homeless people and the elderly and used them to submit false claims for treatment.
In Houston, owners of four private ambulance companies were accused of billing the system for non-existent or unnecessary runs.
In Miami, more than 50 professionals were charged with carrying out a $137 million scam involving mental health services and home health care.
Other cases involved fraudulent billing for ambulance services, durable medical equipment, psychotherapy and prescription drugs.

The spread of the West Nile virus has state health department officials warning people over 50 or in poor health they probably shouldn't go outside at dawn or dusk.
At the very least, the health department says they should wear long-sleeve shirts and pants and wear insect repellent.
There is evidence the virus has spread to 40 of the state's 102 counties. It hasn't spread to humans yet but health department spokesman says a human case is inevitable.

Name of Project: Poe Cabin Fire Restoration
Number of Trees to be Planted: 132,000
Directly Benefits: Wildlife, recreationalists
Location: Idaho
Year: 2011
Notable Highlights
American Forests is teaming up with the USDA Forest Service to replant areas of the Nez Perce National Forest that were damaged by wildfires. Planting trees at this site offers numerous benefits, including a decrease in soil erosion which will lessen the amount of sedimentation being deposited into the area's water sources. This in turn will help to protect anadromous, fish that live mostly in the ocean but breed in fresh water, fisheries located along the Snake River.
Deer and wild turkeys will also benefit from this project. Reforesting the area will provide these species with places to hide and keep warm during the winter months.
Part of the reforestation project encompasses the Pittsburg Landing Road, which allows access to the Snake River. The river provides a host of recreational activities and is a popular tourist location.This project will plant tree species, including the severely threatened whitebark pine, a species found in the western US and Canada that is threatened by wildfires, mountain bark beetles, and blister rust. American Forests is sponsoring various projects to reforest white bark pine this year.
This project was supported by our corporate partner, the Alcoa Foundation.

29 U.S. Code § 1341a - Termination of multiemployer plans
prev | next
(a) Determinative factors
Termination of a multiemployer plan under this section occurs as a result of—
(1) the adoption after September 26, 1980, of a plan amendment which provides that participants will receive no credit for any purpose under the plan for service with any employer after the date specified by such amendment;
(2) the withdrawal of every employer from the plan, within the meaning of section 1383 of this title, or the cessation of the obligation of all employers to contribute under the plan; or
(b) Date of termination
(1) The date on which a plan terminates under paragraph (1) or (3) of subsection (a) of this section is the later of—
(c) Duties of plan sponsor of amended plan
Except as provided in subsection (f)(1) of this section, the plan sponsor of a plan which terminates under paragraph (2) of subsection (a) of this section shall—
(1) limit the payment of benefits to benefits which are nonforfeitable under the plan as of the date of the termination, and
(d) Duties of plan sponsor of nonoperative plan
The plan sponsor of a plan which terminates under paragraph (2) of subsection (a) of this section shall reduce benefits and suspend benefit payments in accordance with section 1441 of this title.
(e) Amount of contribution of employer under amended plan for each plan year subsequent to plan termination date
In the case of a plan which terminates under paragraph (1) or (3) of subsection (a) of this section, the rate of an employer's contributions under the plan for each plan year beginning on or after the plan termination date shall equal or exceed the highest rate of employer contributions at which the employer had an obligation to contribute under the plan in the 5 preceding plan years ending on or before the plan termination date, unless the corporation approves a reduction in the rate based on a finding that the plan is or soon will be fully funded.
(f) Payment of benefits; reporting requirements for terminated plans and rules and standards for administration of such plans
(1) The plan sponsor of a terminated plan may authorize the payment other than in the form of an annuity of a participant's entire nonforfeitable benefit attributable to employer contributions, other than a death benefit, if the value of the entire nonforfeitable benefit does not exceed $1,750. The corporation may authorize the payment of benefits under the terms of a terminated plan other than nonforfeitable benefits, or the payment other than in the form of an annuity of benefits having a value greater than $1,750, if the corporation determines that such payment is not adverse to the interest of the plan's participants and beneficiaries generally and does not unreasonably increase the corporation's risk of loss with respect to the plan.
(2) The corporation may prescribe reporting requirements for terminated plans, and rules and standards for the administration of such plans, which the corporation considers appropriate to protect the interests of plan participants and beneficiaries or to prevent unreasonable loss to the corporation.

Legendary Lore of the Holy Wells of England Including Rivers, Lakes, Fountains and Springs, 1893
Kessinger Publishing, Jun 1, 2003 - Social Science - 256 pages
1893. This collection of traditionary lore connected with the holy wells, rivers, springs and lakes of England is the first systematic attempt made. The subject is almost inexhaustible and at the same time, a most interesting one. An honest endeavor has been made to render the work as accurate at possible, and to give the source of each account, where such could be ascertained. No attempt has been made at scientific classification or arrangement, other than the placing of the wells under their respective counties. Copiously illustrated by curious original woodcuts.

Most of the week, I carry my laptop in a Brain Cell, 1 L water bottle, lunch, and miscellaneous items (charger, cell phone, keys, wallet, etc.). However once or twice week, I'll usually head straight to the grocery store from school and get groceries for the week (usually including a gallon of milk, maybe 0.5-1 gallons of orange juice, etc. and these go into my backpack to be carried home) I currently have a Swiss Army/Victorinox Sorbonne backpack which is ok for my uses so far, but the middle/secondary compartment isn't nearly as sturdy as the main compartment and my vertical Brain Cell does not fit well at all.
I'm trying to decide between a Brain Bag and a Smart Alec (been saving money for a purchase for a while now). It looks like the Smart Alec might be too small for my uses... but I'm only 5'1" so I'm really hesitating. Any insight or photos of a Brain Bag on a smaller person?

2.- Working with FWTools.
I'm going to supouse that you have already downloaded and installed FWTools (v2.2.8 in my case, though I think there's a new version right now), I'm not covering the installation stuff, only two Caveat emptor if you are using FWTools in Windows:
- Remember to run setfw.bat, wich is in the installation directory, before start working.
- Any of the Python scripts of FWTools that you may run, have to be ran with the Python installation that comes with FWTools, You have to use the entire path to the python.exe that comes with FWTools and the entire path to the script .py you want to run.
I'm not going to write the entire paths in this tutorial, remember to write them, OK?.

- This article is about the waypoint feature in GTA IV. For the small map in the HUD in most GTA games, see Radar.
A Global Positioning System, GPS or Satnav refers to a navigation system in Grand Theft Auto IV and Grand Theft Auto: Chinatown Wars that guides the player to a specific waypoint, whether it is related to a mission or plotted by the player themselves, by providing directions to said waypoints. For GTA games prior to GTA IV, players have only their knowledge of the road to reach a waypoint.
The feature can be toggled on or off in both GTA IV and GTA Chinatown Wars.
The GPS/Satnav system functions by calculating the shortest legal route to a waypoint; as such, closed roads and alleyways are not taken into account, and may not be the most efficient route as far as the player is concerned.
While missions automatically plot waypoints, players may also enter their own waypoint by way of the city map in GTA IV and GTA Chinatown Wars (player-defined waypoints have been present since Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas). After a waypoint has been plotted, the route will be illustrated in both the map and the radar; yellow routes and waypoints are mission specific, while green routes and waypoints are player-defined. Waypoints in the middle of a body of water will not be routed. Waypoints are also crucial if the player needs to reach a specific location in a Taxi; players can select the waypoint's location as one of the taxi's destinations.
Certain luxurious cars in GTA IV may also come equipped with voiced GPS, being primarily capable of informing the player of the distance to their next turn. The system may utilize the voice of a woman or a man, but are generally similar in behavior. The Audio menu offers the options "selected cars" (default), "off" and "on" for GPS speech (when "on" is chosen, all cars will have the voice feature). The Feminine version bares a British accent while the Male voice is similiar to the TomTom Or any other budget Satelite Navigation system.
- Voiced GPS systems in GTA IV normally sound a "bing bong" notification when the player is about to approach a turn. On rare occasions, however, the feminine version of the system itself may utter "bing bong" instead. This happens more often when many Cheats are used on one save file, and may affect other save files too.

HOUSTON - Have you looked at your homeowner's or rental insurance policies lately? Local 2 Investigates has found simple mistakes can cost you thousands of dollars if you have a claim after a storm.
- Home Insurance Inventory Checklist | Texas Dept. of Insurance: Consumer Protection
- Hurricane Section
Experts say now is the time for you to take another look at your renter's or homeowner's insurance policy.
"I think a lot of people were surprised about what their policy covered and didn't cover," said Audrey Selden, a senior associate commissioner for consumer protection at the Texas Department of Insurance.
Selden says tough lessons are learned after every major hurricane and Hurricane Ike was no different.
"Many of the things that we saw were literally that the person had not purchased enough insurance," Selden said.
One of the biggest issues -- getting enough money to replace your home.
Homeowners are used to seeing things like appraised value or market value, but Selden says when it comes to insurance, you need to look at replacement value.
"That means if I had to rebuild my home today, how much would it cost -- material, labor and the like," Selden explained. "Don't be fooled by the appraised value or your market value of the home. You're talking about starting from square one and rebuilding."
The next step is making sure your policy is "weather proof." Check the section on windstorm protection to look for specific coverage.
Some along the coast have to purchase a different policy from the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association. You'll have to purchase a separate flood policy. Even then, you need specific flood protection.
"One of the things we saw through Ike was while some consumers had flood coverage, maybe they didn't have flood contents coverage," said Selden. "So, it's very important that as you do your insurance checkup now, that you look over your homeowner's contents coverage, windstorm and flood, both for the structure and contents of your home."
To replace the things inside your home or apartment, you need to know everything in it.
Selden believes the best way to take a good inventory is to make a detailed list of all of the items in your home.
She suggests taking a home video outside and inside -- everything from your game systems to appliances, furniture to clothing.
"Can you imagine -- you have your master list there and you're checking to see what got destroyed or ruined or what didn't?" Selden explained. "As opposed to sitting there in a very dramatic time and trying to remember every single detail about the things that you do have, that you've now lost."
Also, Selden suggests keeping receipts of any big ticket items you buy so you can prove their worth.
Remember, Selden says, you can request to see or make changes to your homeowner's or renter's policy at any time.

Thanks to the strong acting performance of Oscar nominated actor Demian Bichir, hopefully more film fans will be drawn to the emotionally moving and poignant film A Better Life. The storyline is straight forward and echoes other journey films of immigrant life like El Norte or In America. The narrative centers on the personal struggle of a single father working to keep his son from gravitating toward the allure of gang life while he works toward starting his own landscaping business amidst the constant threat of deportation. A wonderful and affecting film about the love between father and son, A Better Life balances sentimentality with the material realism of today's immigrant experience.

|hope college > van raalte institute
The A. C. Van Raalte Institute was established, through the generosity of a Hope College graduate and trustee, in 1993. The initial idea for an institute was provided by James Ver Meulen, a former member of the Hope College Board of Trustees, who had a strong interest in the history of Hope College and the nineteenth century Dutch immigration to western Michigan. Before his death in the mid-1980s, he wrote to Peter H. Huizenga, a fellow member of the Board of Trustees, to discuss his concept of a research institute which would be located at the college. It was Mr. Huizenga who then provided the means to translate the idea of an institute into reality.
On January 19, 1993, Mr. Huizenga hosted a breakfast on Hope's campus to which members of the administration, and members and friends of the Huizenga family, were invited. On that occasion the Huizenga family made a major gift to establish and endow the A. C. Van Raalte Institute. The gift was made in honor of Mrs. Elizabeth Bovenkerk Huizenga, the mother of B. J. Buntrock, Peter Huizenga, Suzanne Huizenga Kanis, Virginia Huizenga Jurries, and J. C. Huizenga. Since that time, many additional gifts have been made to the Institute. The endowment provides support for the Institute, now housed in a suite of offices on Hope's campus.
Hope College President John H. Jacobson appointed Elton J. Bruins, Blekkink Professor of Religion Emeritus at Hope, as director of the Institute in April 1993. Following Peter Huizenga's suggestion, the administration of the college contacted Dr. Robert P. Swierenga, Professor of History at Kent State University in Ohio, and invited him to join the Institute. Dr. Swierenga accepted the offer, and took early retirement from Kent State, thus enabling the Institute to add to its staff the foremost scholar of nineteenth century Dutch American studies. Dr. Swierenga joined the staff of the Institute in May 1996 as the A. C. Van Raalte Research Professor and adjunct professor of history.
In the same year, Dr. Jeanne M. Jacobson resigned from Western Michigan University to accept a position as Senior Research Fellow of the Van Raalte Institute, and to serve Hope College as adjunct professor of education. Dr. Jacobson's background includes an interest in American history and Dutch and Huguenot immigration to America, and extensive experience as an editor and author.
Dr. James C. Kennedy joined the history department of Hope College in the fall of 1997, with one quarter of his time assigned to the Van Raalte Institute. He is a recent graduate of the University of Iowa with a principal interest in modern European history and with a concentration in Dutch history. Dr. Kennedy has lived in the Netherlands, is fluent in the Dutch language, and has published and made scholarly presentations both in America and in the Netherlands.
Simone Kennedy, a native of the Netherlands; William Buursma, a retired Christian Reformed Church minister; Nella Kennedy, an art historian and a native of the Netherlands; and Bill Kennedy, a retired history professor, provide translation services to the Institute on a consultant basis. It is the goal of the Institute to have all major Van Raalte documents accurately translated so that future students and scholars will not be hampered in their research by a lack of knowledge of the Dutch language.
Karen Schakel joined the staff in September 1997 as office manager and editorial assistant.
Dr. Jacob E. Nyenhuis was appointed senior research fellow at the Van Raalte Institute in September 2001, following his retirement from the Hope College faculty in May 2001 after twenty-six years at the college, the last seventeen as provost and professor of classics. He was named the director of the A. C. Van Raalte Institute 1 July 2002. He succeeded Dr. Elton J. Bruins, who stepped down after serving as director since the institute was established in 1994. Bruins remains actively involved with the institute as a senior research fellow.
Since the Institute's earliest years, members have been assisted in their work by Hope College students working in its program. Karsten Voskuil, Elisabeth Dekker, John Krueger, Seth Bruggers, Jodie Grabill, Theresa Hansen, Esnart Sakala, Michelle Lubbers, Ramona Fruja, Vickie Dryfhout, Christina Van Regenmorter, Erica Heeg, and Cindy Bachhuber.have all made considerable contributions to the Institute.

WASHINGTON (AP/USA TODAY) -- Businesses that do not insure their employees will be exempt from penalties until 2015, the Internal Revenue Service announced late Tuesday.
"As we make these changes, we believe we need to give employers more time to comply with the new rules," wrote Valerie Jarrett, a senior adviser to the president, in a White House blog. "Since employer responsibility payments can only be assessed based on this new reporting, payments won't be collected for 2014."
"We have heard concerns about the complexity of the requirements and the need for more time to implement them effectively," wrote Mark J. Mazur, assistant Treasury secretary for tax policy.
"We recognize that the vast majority of businesses that will need to do this reporting already provide health insurance to their workers, and we want to make sure it is easy for others to do so," Mazur said.
This gives the IRS more time to simplify reporting requirements, as well as for businesses to get up to speed with reporting systems. The government still encourages businesses to voluntarily begin reporting in 2014 so they will be ready for 2015.
This does not affect businesses with fewer than 50 workers, who were already exempt from that rule. Most large businesses already offer coverage to their employees.
It also does not change the individual mandate, which requires most Americans to purchase insurance.

Type: Bug
Status: Reopened
Priority: Major
Resolution: Unresolved
Affects Version/s: 2.0.7
Fix Version/s: Issues to be reviewed for 3.x
Component/s: Inheritance and Interpolation, Sites & Reporting
Here is the test case to reproduce this problem. Take the following two pom.xml files
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project> <groupId>org.bar</groupId> <artifactId>foo</artifactId> <name>foo</name> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <packaging>pom</packaging> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <distributionManagement> <site> <id>foo-site</id> <url>file://C:/Documents and Settings/foo/.m2/site/${project.artifactId}</url> </site> </distributionManagement> </project>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project> <groupId>org.bar</groupId> <artifactId>baz</artifactId> <name>baz</name> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> <packaging>pom</packaging> <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion> <parent> <artifactId>foo</artifactId> <groupId>org.bar</groupId> <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version> </parent> </project>
And run the site-deploy goal on each. What you get under the site directory is this
- site /- foo ---/site docs /- baz ---/- baz (extra directory) --- ---/site docs
This is the simplest test case. In the case where I have a "grandparent" pom, the site directory uses the grandparent/parent as the path to the site, and doesn't use the actual artifactId of the artifact I'm creating the site for.

I hereby kindly ask you to fix the bug.
I really have problems convincing my colleagues to switch to Maven when such a bug is not fixed for month.
The issue origins seems to be the DefaultModelInheritanceAssembler.class wich automatically adds the parents artifactId no matter what.
According to the site-plugin in documentation the inheritance of the parents artifactId can enabled by adding a trailing / to the url.
But the InheritanceModel doesnt apply this rule.
Details on: http://maven.apache.org/guides/mini/guide-site.html
Note: the trailing slash in the URL above indicates that any subprojects that inherit this value should append their artifact ID to the path instead of using it as-is.
My solution, the method assembleDistributionInheritence(...) should be modified like this:
... if ( childDistMgmt.getSite() == null ) { if ( parentDistMgmt.getSite() != null ) { Site site = new Site(); childDistMgmt.setSite( site ); site.setId( parentDistMgmt.getSite().getId() ); site.setName( parentDistMgmt.getSite().getName() ); site.setUrl( parentDistMgmt.getSite().getUrl() ); // modification, add the .endWith("/") to the condition if ( site.getUrl() != null && site.getUrl().endsWith( "/" ) ) { site.setUrl( appendPath( site.getUrl(), child.getArtifactId(), appendPaths ) ); } } } ...
Here is a fix for Maven 2.0.8 with tests.
Thanks for the patch. I updated it to handle \ in the path and another small issue I found while testing.
This patch breaks existing behavior (the docs are wrong).
Brian, we all seem to want this fix, but don't want to break existing behaviour (however bizarre it may be).
The proper solution seems to be to add a POM attribute/element like either:
- use-inherited-urls with a default of false
- append-artifactId-to-parent-urls with a default of true
But this requires a change to the POM schema which I suspect will be much harder to organise..
A temporary solution might be to do the same thing using well-documented POM properties, eg
- mng-3244-use-inherited-urls with a default of false
- mng-3244-append-artifactId-to-parent-urls with a default of true
And when (hopefully not if) the POM schema is changed to accomodate the proper solution the implementation can be readily switched from one to the other and even handle fallback and notification of the appropriate configuration.
This patch breaks existing behavior (the docs are wrong).
Well, then you might find this patch useful, intended to save users from confusion and providing some further tweaks to the guide. It's one thing to have a controversal behavior but it's definitively a bad thing to have incorrect documentation.
Site patch is applied.
remember that the site distro URL and the project URL are related. If you add the documented but missing feature of being '/' aware for one of them (i.e. as you have with this patch and its handling of site distro url) you will need to add the same feature to the project url assembly.
We have had to declare explicit project.url and distroManagement.site.url elements in EVERY pom of our multi-module proejcts because we also use real identifying information in these URLS, namely the ${project.groupId}/${project.artifactId}/${project.version}
After playing with some patch some more i came across another problem beyond the one mentioned above. You need to ensure that the trailing slash is propagated to the child projects URLs (distroManagement.site.url and project.url) otherwise the logic based upon the presence of the trailing slash stop working. i.e. if you call appendPaths you must ensure that the resulting path ends with a '/'.
Will this also be implemented for the SCM URLs and the various other places where the artifactid is automatically appended? Because this bug here supercedes
MNG-2290, which supercedes MNG-2219, which is about SCM URLs. And can someone, please, document that? Because a guide is not a place to put such an important piece of information. Maybe the right place would be the docs for the pom.xml structure?
[I sent this comment to the list, without any repsonse, so I decided to put them here - where they belong]
As I understand it; the current rule implements implicit URLs as
For example:
<scm> <connection>${parentPOM.scm.connection}/${project.artifactId}</connection> ... </scm>
Where parentPOM is a made-up symbol denoting an upward search for the pom property that follows (scm.connection).
So, how about the following suggestion:
The Super POM contains this kind of definition for all URLs where this rule applies today. When the effective POM
is computed for a sub-project it uses the "closest" url definition that contains the symbol parentPOM. If none is
found expect the def in super pom, this one is used and the rule applies as it always has.
On the other hand, if one decides to put an url expression containing parentPOM into a POM of type 'pom',
then there is a new definition and will be used. That means, we have a way to define how sub-project urls should
be constructed. I would be delighted if I could define an expression like
There is a residual problem, however: I cannot define both an url expansion expression and an actual url expression
that is intended to be used in sub-projects. The easiest solution, is just to have two organization poms, the top-most
pom contains the url expansion expressions (overriding the rule from the super pom) and the one beneath is the
original org pom, containing actual urls that will be used in the expansions further down.
I'm convinced there are other more elegant solutions. However, the suggestion above would be fairly easy to implement
without breaking existing code and poms (or require a POM version increment), but still provide a way for org-pom
designers to tweak the url expansions the way they want.
Comments / Objections ???
There isn't a way that i know of to refer to a value in the parent pom. This would require defining a whole new property and is more than I think we want to do in 2.0.x.
Note, dission on dev list: http://www.nabble.com/Comments---Ideas-for-MNG-3244-td15808822s177.html#a15808822
There seems to be no solution available to fix this in 2.0.x
I'm fairly new to Maven, but I find the default behavior for all URLs very confusing. I understand the desired behavior, but many projects are just not arranged like the default behavior implies. The same URL alteration happens for SCM urls, the overall project URL, etc. I had initially created a corporate parent POM that I had hoped could work about 85% of our SVN repos by default, but I will have to override every one in the actual POM for each project (the suggested workaround).
I would strongly argue for a change to the POM to be able to turn this off globally (not just for site URLs). I'd prefer for that to be the default (I think the current behavior violates the principle of least surprise), but that's water under the bridge in terms of compatibility at this point. We really need a way of turning this off though--I really think it will lead to simpler POMs.
I'm going to summarize all that this peculiar functionality touches upon, some of which can be traced in the issue links above, in order to justify my attached patch and hope for its consensus adoption.
There's a Maven 1-ey method in DefaultModelInheritanceAssembler, appendPath(..), that may append a child path relative to a parent (project) path and this path becomes the returned URL. In practice, this method is called upon from three places in this inheritance-assembling class: all of <scm>, the <url> inside <site> inside <distributionManagement>, and the top-level <url>, where the parent has a value and the child doesn't. And in each case, the child path is its <artifactId>. The boolean param that determines whether to "append child to parent," AFAICT, is hard-coded to true in each of these cases and, hence, no matter what the inherited value may be, the child path (artifactId) is appended and for most inheritance schemes, you see a strange reflective..artifact..of the artifactId tacked on the end of these resolved URLs. Again, it all sounds very Maven 1-ey, where children are logically inside parent or relative to it.
Most inheritance schemes, as I've said, for these values are of this flavor: the inherited child value is http://www.foo.com/etc/$\{project.artifactId} – according to my following the bug trails. Rather than rewrite this aspect of the model, as Brett Porter suggested [1], my proposed patch quietly inserts a check for a certain condition and, if present, follows different inheritance logic. My aims were:
1. Non-disruptive insertion - if present, do this, else keep the status quo.
2. Cover 90% (or better) of the cases - there may be other fringe (inheritance) cases my patch does not address but I think I've landed on the majority and, with #1 in mind, it does no worse for those cases.
So my patch is basically this: if the child has no value and the parent does (for those POM elements mentioned), and if the parent value ends with a Maven expression (i.e. ${blah}), then child value = parent value, otherwise, as you were. (Paul Harrison suggested [2] the choice of the algorithm be the presence of '/' at the end of the parent value but I think the "ends with Maven expression" is a more direct approach.)
My patch includes new units and has been utilized in a full rebuild of 2.2.2-RC1-SNAPSHOT successfully. I look forward to hearing everyone's feedback.

patch by Steven MountJoy
My company has a flat SVN structure, with trunk/, tags/ and branches/ folders in every project. e.g.
We were hoping to factor out scm, site and nexus urls from all of our projects into a corporate pom. Due to this bug though, maven is appending artifactid again after trunk/ in inherited urls, which doesn't make sense for this structure. So basically this bug will prevent us from factoring out most of the configuration, and we'll have to copy/paste the same url template into every pom.
Can we consider fixing this bug for maven 2.x again?
..Edited to remove a suggestion which has some problems on closer examination.
@Steven MountJoy- I looked at that patch, and I think it would improve the situation for some people, but for us it's not going to fix the broken handling of our scm urls because we put our variables in the middle of the urls unfortunately, and we put "/trunk" at the end.
Perhaps looking for patterns in urls is not the way to go to decide whether or not to apply the fixed logic.
How about we apply the fix if property "mng-3244-append-artifactId-to-parent-urls" is set to "false" (as William Ferguson above suggested 2.5 years ago), otherwise we apply existing behaviour?
I can't see any way that this could break existing behaviour.
Since I've experiencing issues on this as well, I've been thinking that referencing i.e. project.version in a parent pom (to the parent's version) should be possible.
I might not see a certain UC or already implemented behaviour, but wouldn't this be possible (and still be backwards compatible) by adding one of two behaviours:
1. A way to specify properties that are resolved to the correct version (from the pom that they're in) either at install time or at the time the effective pom is generated. A proposal on this option would be to use i.e. #{property}
or maybe $[property]
I think that this might even be possible in a Maven plugin, but there will be a problem with backing up the pom first then as well. If there's a way to hook into the effective pom generation it can be done cleanly though without touching the pom on disk.
2. A way to specify a certain parent in the hierarchy, though this would require a model change. It would then be possible to request a certain parent, i.e. by doing ${project.parent.someParentGroup.someParentId}
Personally I like #1 the most, though #2 is probably the most powerful. Both will of course require a substantial amount of work, but I expect that #2 will require a lot more than #1.
ps. just wondering: are votes counted together from all related issues? If so I might vote on them all
It's sad to see that this issue hasn't been fixed in all these years. People really need it.
I ended up specifying following snippet in each and every child pom:
<distributionManagement> <!-- repositories inherited--> <site> <id>${distributionManagement.site.id}</id> <url>${distributionManagement.site.url}</url> </site> </distributionManagement>
Whereas the same snippet is defined in the parent pom (including repositories of course!) and this parent pom also defines the referenced properties:
<distributionManagement.site.id>someid</distributionManagement.site.id> <distributionManagement.site.url>scp://somehost.example.org/u/admin/maven/site/${project.artifactId}</distributionManagement.site.url>
I needed to do the same for project.url and all the URLs in project.scm.
It's a quite cumbersome workaround but this way I can use a "dumb" copy and paste approach when creating new child poms - without needing to remember to append the artifactIds! At the the same time I can just release the parent pom as usual, including correct site deployment.
I have jumped to this issue from
MSITE-334, as I have the same issue with automatic appending of artifactId to inherited site URL, which does not work well with custom "templated" URLs.
In our environment we use URL like this:
Was just bitten by this issue today, using a very similar URL scheme as Dmitry Katsubo, just sans the groupId. As explained in this stack overflow answer - http://stackoverflow.com/a/20517630 - the default behavior makes much more sense when you are deploying to source control, as the maven core site is. If you're not, however, there really should be a way to disable this because it messes up the site structure.
there is a new feature in MNG-5951 to disable path addition when inheriting urls: feedback appreciated

The Founder Institute recommends that enrolled Founders incorporate a company in the United States, using the documents below when they incorporate in Delaware. Incorporation in the United States is three to five times faster and requires less than half the capital than incorporating in Croatia.
The following document is the Form of a Warrant in the United States that you will need to issue for your company to join the Bonus Pool and graduate from the Founder Institute. The majority of the Warrant value held by the Institute is for the benefit of Semester participants. The Warrant also provides Founders with protections against undesired terminations.
The following document is the Form of Board Consent in the United States that is required for you company to issue the Warrant above.
Since limited liability Croatian companies do not have the ability to issue Warrants, the Founder of a limited liability Croatian will sign this Conversion Agreement pledging that once the company converts to a joint stock company, it will issue the Warrants as per the Founder Agreement.
