I was adopted because i lost mom during birth ....and dad was not a caring soul hes more intresting in making moonshine and raising another family since he lost my mom and he dumped me at the motherless home .as i heard it .
I was adopted twice , i went through two foster(s) home ... the first home wasnt much fun , i was treated very cruelly until the Govt took me off from them . then i got adopted again by a widow lady ...she was very cool and took very good care of me ... she was a dream come true.. We relocated from weatherford tx to Newark Ohio when i was 19.
I lost her a year after i graduated from college , i studied Food&Nutritions ...I lost her due to breast cancer disea....it hurt pretty badly and it was a hardest time for me .. because i hard to start over again , i do not know anyone arround here as i am not a type that makes bunches of friends.. its really hard to start over alone , it has always been me and her ......it hurt but i had to move on .

South Africa Deputy President Cyril Ramaphosa has called for the school curriculum to be configured in such a way that children can be taught entrepreneurial courses from a young age.
"It is when that happens that you will be able to produce more Steve Jobs, more Bill Gates and those who also operate in Silicon Valley and other places," Ramaphosa said at the launch of Global Entrepreneurship Week here Friday. The event was also attended by Minister of Small Business Development Lindiwe Zulu.
Global Entrepreneurship Week, which takes place from Nov 14 to 20 November, is the largest gathering of innovators and entrepreneurs, who launch start-ups that bring ideas to life, drive economic growth and stimulate socio-economic development.
Ramaphosa appealed to big business to partner with small businesses to grow an inclusive economy and give the youth work experience. "Leaders of established business must mentor more and invest more in young talent. We must work together to urgently introduce those reforms that will foster a more enabling environment for SMME development," he said.
"We must find innovative ways to work and provide the necessary support to young women, in particular, to get involved in sustainable opportunity-driven enterprises."
Deputy President Ramaphosa said a number of sectors of the economy are dominated by a few big players, costs of entry are high and anti-competitive behaviour is widespread. The government recognized that it might unwittingly reinforce this market dominance through bureaucratic inefficiency and costly regulatory requirements.
"However, we have made important progress in strengthening the competition authorities, using government's purchasing power to promote emerging businesses, and refining the BEE codes of good practice to emphasise enterprise development," he added.
Zulu encouraged parents to teach their children their value of money from a young age. She said this could be done by opening a bank account for their kids and encouraging them to save their pocket money.

A heated battle between PC MLA Sandra Jansen and cabinet minister Shannon Phillips intensified during question period Wednesday when Jansen called for Premier Rachel Notley to drop Phillips from the women's portfolio.
"Mr. Speaker, given that the minister has insulted her peers and denigrated her staff, it's clear that she has lost the moral authority to govern on this file," Jansen said.
"To the premier: Will you ask her to step down?"
Notley was in meetings Wednesday afternoon, so she did not attend question period. House Leader Brian Mason took the question instead and accused Jansen of feeding the conflict.
"It seems to me that this honourable member is attempting to exploit a difficult situation," Mason told the house.
"I read the Hansard transcript of that, and this honourable member contributed as well to, I think, a sense of antagonism that shouldn't necessarily be there.
"I believe the question with respect to the premier, but I know that all of us on this side have the utmost confidence in the Minister of the Environment and Status of Women."
The battle between Jansen and Phillips started in a review of budget estimates for the Status of Women ministry Tuesday.
Jansen, associate minister for families and community safety under former premier Alison Redford, a portfolio which included women's issues, took issue with an assertion by Phillips that the PCs did nothing on the file.
Phillips described a framework for addressing sexual violence developed by the PCs as "distasteful" and called the PC record on women's issues "deplorable."
Jansen said that characterization is insulting to the civil servants who worked hard on the file. She said the very same people now report to Phillips.
Phillips apologized to Jansen via text message. But Jansen said the apology didn't really address the issue at hand.
"The minister didn't apologize for the content of her diatribe, just for the fact that it hurt my feelings, so way to go for the bronze here on the apology."

In Humanism of the Other Emmanuel Levinas argues that it is not only possible but of the highest importance to understand one's humanity through the humanity of others. Based in a new appreciation for ethics, and taking new departures from the phenomenology of Hegel, Heidegger, Husserl, and Merleau-Ponty, the idealism of Plato and Kant, and the skepticism of Nietzsche and Blanchot, Levinas rehabilitates humanism and restores its promises.
Painfully aware of the long history of dehumanization that reached its apotheosis in Hitler and Nazism, Levinas does not underestimate the difficulty of reconciling oneself with another. We find our humanity, Levinas argues, not through mathematics, rational metaphysics, or introspection. Rather, it is found in the recognition that the suffering and mortality of others are the obligations and morality of the self.

Traditionally the exercise program for cardiac rehabilitation has been the bicycle ergometer but a group in Spain has tested a modified form of tennis training to see if it is a possible alternative. The tests carried out included lab test parameters, quality of life and an exercise stress test. After the 3 month program triglycerides, LDL cholesterol, HDL cholesterol all improved as well as a significant improvement in exercise capacity. The group concludes that modification of existing sports is new area that can be developed for cardiac rehabilitation. The main advantages are clearly that patients are more likely to stick to exercise programs of a sport that they choose and enjoy compared to a set program.

Sour Cream Pound Cake Poinsettia Cookies
There comes a point every holiday season where you realize you cannot do it all. You cannot make homemade lip balm and vanilla extract for everyone on your list, you cannot stand in a 3-hour line at the post office for Christmas stamps, you cannot be 17 different places on Christmas Eve, you cannot scrub the baseboards before company arrives, and you cannot make homemade cookies and icing when your child tells you he needs cookies the next morning.
(Or is this just me?)
*this post is sponsored by H-E-B.
Today I'm going to show you how to make cute and delicious homemade cookies with a bit of a cheat. Store-bought icing.
I refuse to feel guilty about using a little pre-made help now and again and I refuse to let you feel that guilt as well. Repeat after me: No Guilt!
The cookies are soft and thick, made with sour cream and pound cake extract. If you cannot find pound cake extract, vanilla will work just beautifully. I found pound cake extract at H-E-B...it's reminiscent of butter, vanilla, and citrus.
Remember how we can't do it all? Well, there's no rolling and cutting out these cookies. This is where your cookie scoop comes in handy. Plop them on a cookie sheet, and flatten them out with the bottom of a juice glass. Done.
When the cookies are baked and cooled, it's time to decorate.
For the leaves and the flowers on the cookies, you'll use a leaf tip. In the photo above, the leaf tip is the second from the right.
You'll pipe on a few leaves around the cookie edges.
When using a leaf tip, hold the tip vertically. The pointed ends of the tip will be at the top and bottom. Squeeze the icing bag, while moving the tip out. Release the pressure and pull the tip away from the cookie.
Use this same technique for the leaves and two rows of petals. For the red, use more pressure for larger leaves.
Once the leaves and petals are piped, add dots of yellow icing in the centers.
You're finished! You have cute Christmas cookies, and not one bowl of icing to wash! Yay!
Sour Cream Pound Cake Poinsettia Cookies
{make 24 cookies}
3 1/4 cup H-E-B Organics unbleached, all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup unsalted butter, cut into chunks
1 cup sugar
1 egg
2 teaspoons pound cake extract (or vanilla)
1 cup sour cream (full-fat)
for the icing:
Wilton red (8 oz.), green, and yellow (4.25 oz.) Decorating Icing
leaf and plain tips
Preheat oven to 350. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Whisk the flour, baking powder, and salt together. Set aside.
With an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar together until fluffy. Beat in the egg and extract, scraping down the sides and bottom of the bowl. Add the sour cream and mix until incorporated.
On low speed, add the flour in 3 additions. Mix just until combined.
Use a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop to dollop the dough onto the prepared sheets. Dip the bottom of a juice glass in flour. Press onto the cookies to flatten.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until done. Remove to a wire cooling rack to cool.
Place the leaf tip on the green icing. When using a leaf tip, hold the tip vertically. The pointed ends of the tip will be at the top and bottom. Squeeze the icing bag, while moving the tip out. Release the pressure and pull the tip away from the cookie. Pipe on a few leaves around the cookie edges.
Wash and dry the leaf tip. Use this same technique for the two rows of petals. For the red, use more pressure for larger leaves. Start with the outer petal, then pipe smaller petals in the center.
(I find the large bag of icing is easier to work with if I knead it a little first, warming it with my hands.)
Once the leaves and petals are piped, add dots of yellow icing in the centers using a plain round tip.

Bridget - I love the look of these cookies...sour cream pound cake?!! My friend, I'm all in! They are beautiful and seem simple to make. I think many of us feel a little rushed during this time... so we just need to eat a cookie...or two... and try to relax a little! Merry Christmas! Take care! xoReplyDelete
Pound cake extract!!! Running to H-E-B right now to make these beauties!ReplyDelete
I am definitely not good at it, but thanks to the step by step pictures I can actually manage to make a nice cookie :D Thank you!ReplyDelete
Hello ! You do so nice thing here.. I will definitely be back. Thank you and have a pleasant day !ReplyDelete
these look wonderful, love the real sour cream flavor, and nice tip re: pound cake extract (I didn't know it existed!, always just go with vanilla extract) and the flower pedal technique! thank you for sharing all of this!ReplyDelete
What a clever idea! I think I would "cheat" by using store bought cookies and making my own icing--that way I can lick the icing off and throw away the cookie. I love icing.ReplyDelete
Most of the time I don't make comments on websites, but I'd like to say that this article really forced me to do so. Really nice post! bulk candyReplyDelete
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment! Happy baking! :)
(Comments, especially on busy giveaways, may take a minute to show...thank you for your patience.)

Schools in the UK want to involve parents in school life and will try to share information and include families who speak little English. Schools here believe education involves the parents (or carers) and the school working together to help children learn.
How do I find out more information about my child's school?
When your child starts school, school staff will help them settle in and support them to make friends and join in lessons and other activities. Parents can also support their children to feel happy and part of the school by understanding how the school works.
For example you will need to:
- provide school uniform and PE kit
- support good attendance and behaviour
- make sure your child does their homework
- attend parents meetings and school events.
What equipment do I need to buy for my child?
To make a good start, you need to buy some school equipment such as pens and pencils. It is a good idea to ask the school what you need to buy when you attend the admission interview.
Most secondary schools and some primary school require children to follow a dress code or wear a uniform. This includes a PE kit (clothes for sports). You may have to buy the uniform from a special shop or directly from the school. Ask the school if you need help with payment as grants may be available.
Will I have to pay for school meals?
School meals are free for some children (such as Key Stage 1 in England) and will consist of a midday meal of healthy food. Special dietary needs are catered for. Families who receive benefits can claim free school meals for older children. Please ask the school for an application form if you think you are eligible. Families are welcome to supply a healthy packed lunch for children to eat instead of the school dinner.
Can my child take time off school for religious holidays and visits to relatives?
Your child must attend school regularly and all schools ask parents to contact the school when their child is absent. You may need to send a letter giving the reason for absence when your child returns to school. Illness and medical appointments are 'authorised absences'.
Your child can take a day off school for religious holidays, but other reasons such as family visits are 'unauthorised absences'. Extended visits to another country must be taken during school holidays.
If your child has to miss school because of an emergency, please tell the head teacher as soon as possible. If you would like to know more about attendance, please ask at the school office or check the school's website.
How can I become more involved with school life?
Schools want to build good relationships with parents and want parents to be involved in school life by:
- attending parents' meetings or consultations
- joining celebrations, concerts and assemblies
- volunteering to help in school
- becoming part of the parent fundraising association.
Although you may lack confidence in speaking English at first, please do not worry. The first step is to accept friendly approaches from other parents and school staff. There may also be school staff who speak your language and can interpret for you.
Try and develop good communication from home to school and from school to home. Talk to your child's teacher in the playground after school and share your hopes and dreams for your child as well as any worries.
It can be more difficult for parents of older children to stay in contact with teachers. Secondary schools often give pupils a diary to record their homework. There will be space for teachers and parents to write notes to ask questions or raise concerns. Nowadays many schools use email or texts to share information with parents. Ask for the parent password.
If your child is unhappy or is being bullied you need to tell the school so that staff can take action to keep your child safe and happy. (See also Your child's rights). If you want to share any personal or confidential information with the school and prefer to use your own language, please ask for an official interpreter.
Sometimes you will be too busy to make face-to-face contact with teachers, but you can still find out what is happening in school in other ways. School websites are full of information and you can translate pages into your first language with 'Google Translate'. You will usually find links to other websites that can help your child's learning such as BBC Bitesize
When you collect your children from school you could look at classroom displays and find out what topics they are doing. There may be a notice board which tells you about after-school clubs for children, for example football, music or language clubs. Sometime there is a before-school breakfast club.
How will the school contact me?
Schools usually communicate with parents by letter, email or text. Please make sure the school has your contact details so that they can find you quickly in an emergency. If you cannot understand the information, ask for a translation or an interpreter. Schools want to find out how to improve access and equality for all parents. If you would like to contribute to the decision-making processes of the school please enquire about becoming a school governor.
Where else can I go to support my child's education?
The local library is a good place to look for learning in the community. Library membership of the library is free, but you will need to take proof of your name and address on an official document. In the library you will find:
- books, audio books and DVDs to borrow
- some books and newspapers in other languages
- a wide range of children's books
- computers with internet access
- newspapers and magazines to read
- information about supplementary schools, community groups and places of worship
- information about adult learning classes e.g. ESOL (English for speakers of other languages).
Some libraries offer free storytelling sessions for young children and reading groups or homework clubs for older ones. The library should able to give you.
Other places for learning
For people who live in cities, national museums and art galleries offer exhibitions and events for all ages. Most towns also have a local history museum. You will also find leisure centres with sports facilities and swimming pools. Swimming lessons are available for children, young people and adults. Local parks usually have children's playgrounds and some have tennis courts, football pitches and other sports facilities. Most of these facilities are free and by joining in some of the activities you and your children will meet other people, make friends and learn English quickly.
Young children
If you have young children, visit the local Children's Centre where you can access early learning and childcare and find out about health services for children and young babies. All children are entitled to some free nursery education after age three.

You might recognize actress Kacey Rohl from two very different projects. The 20-year-old Vancouver native plays the best friend of a dead teenage girl on AMC's dark series "The Killing," and a young girl whose father has died and forms a strong bond with a horse in the family-friendly "Flicka: Country Pride," which was released on DVD this week. But, as Rohl sees it, while the two might not hang out together, they do have something in common. "They're similar in that they feel really guilty for deaths that aren't really their fault," she tells omg!. And off-screen, they were both a lot of fun for the up-and-coming starlet to make.
"Flicka: Country Pride," which co-stars Clint Black and his wife Lisa Hartman Black, was especially memorable because it required Rohl to ride a horse for the first time. Her character, Kelly, takes over as the focus of the story that began with the 1941 novel My Friend Flicka, and has included a TV series and several films, always with a young girl (or boy) who loves horseback riding on Flicka at its heart. "I never thought I'd want to do that," Rohl says. "I grew up in a city, and there's not really any sort of connection to farm life in my life or equestrian stuff, but I'm a total daredevil, so when I saw it, I was like, 'Yes, this must happen.'" First, of course, she had to learn to look like a pro in the saddle. "They sort of just chucked me in there," explains Rohl, who now splits her time between Vancouver and L.A. "[The training] was two weeks, and we did pretty basic stuff for the first couple of days, and then we would go over ground poles, and then we would move them up slightly, and then by the end of the first week we were jumping." Rohl ended up riding every day for about 20 days of shooting. While she hasn't hit the trails since then, the actress notes that she's planning to do just that with some of the girls from the film soon.
Rohl became close with everyone involved in the film, and really bonded with her director Michael Damian — yes, the Michael Damian who played Danny Romalotti on "The Young and the Restless"! As you might remember, Damian also had a hit in 1989 with a cover of the David Essex song "Rock On," which was very typical of the totally awesome '80s, but is totally cheesy if you listen to it now! It's a song that Rohl knows well. "We razzed [Damian] so much, every time we walked onto the set," she laughs. "In the dance scene, the dance that Max and I are doing are his dance moves from the music video. And we all had it on our iPods, and we were rocking out." At least Damian seemed to have a sense of humor about his rock 'n' roll days. "He gave us all signed CDs at the wrap, so we can listen to it whenever we please," she jokes. (Fun fact: Rohl is also musical. She's played the ukulele since elementary school!)
The Canadian cutie, who admires Maggie Gyllenhaal, Kate Winslet, Cate Blanchett, and Jodie Foster, has been working toward a starring role in a movie for most of her life. "My dad is a film director and my mom's a playwright, so I sort of just grew up around [show business]," she reveals. "I don't remember a specific moment where like the light bulb went off, but when I was 2 or 3, I was onstage at my mom's rehearsals doing Shakespeare — I was weird. It was just a natural progression." Rohl studied acting during her high school years with acting coach Andrew McIlroy, whose students have also included "Glee's" Cory Monteith, and began going on auditions. She won the "Flicka" role last summer, and is now taking some much-needed time off. But the actress, who's also appeared on "R.L. Stine's The Haunting Hour," "Fringe," and "Supernatural," would love to take on a funny role in the future — particularly since a lot of sci-fi and cop dramas film in her hometown of Vancouver. "Some good sort of yuck-yuck comedy would be awesome," she says.
Check out the scene where Rohl's character meets Flicka in this clip from "Flicka: Country Pride."

You dutifully inform me that I have a voice message waiting. You carefully protect me from some unknown threat by forcing me to type in a voice mail password that I can never remember, *every* time. You eat my minutes to hear someone say "Call me back, blah, blah, blah."
"Smart" phone, why are you wasting my time?
You see, I never wanted your voice mail anti-feature. You assumed I did. I gave you my voice mail password more than a few times. Why did you not remember it? Why can you not just inform people that there are better ways to communicate?
"Smart" phone, you have not progressed since the '90's. I'm tempted to dump you.
In fact, I already have plans...
In my lifetime I will actually see a phone that is truly smart. When the Ubuntu Phone arrives, the world will have the means to finally fix this and other issues once and for all.
"Smart" phone, your days are numbered.

My smart phone is really smart, justifying his name. I never faced such problem of frequent password entry.
How is the Ubuntu phone fixing any of the things you mention on your blogposts?
Visual Voicemail for iPhones has been around for a long time (2007), I don't remember the last time I had to type in my voicemail password. I don't even know what it is (it's stored in a password vault). If I get voicemail I get a notification about it and a nice list display showing me the number that called me, the time the call was made and how long the message is. The message itself just one click away.
The whole premise of this post is invalid.
Ever heard of Visual Voicemail?

When it comes to determining the cost of your assets, most standards ask to include all directly attributable items.
What about interest and other borrowing costs?
Did you know that if you have 10 dollars in your pocket and no debt, then you are wealthier than 25% of all Americans? Trust me – the corporate scene is no different!
Well, let's be honest, borrowing money does carry a cost, and sometimes very significant one.
Here, I'm not talking about the loss of your friends or even family members, but all these quantifiable items such as interest and similar cost.
As these are often directly attributable to the acquisition of assets, they should be capitalized.
Some time ago, the standard IAS 23 Borrowing Costs gave you a choice:
- Either you could put all your borrowing costs directly in profit or loss and thus you did not have to worry about capitalizing them, or
- You could capitalize eligible borrowing costs.
Unfortunately, this choice was removed a few years ago for most of assets, and now you have to capitalize.
In this article, I tried to draft a few basic rules about capitalizing borrowing costs and also, I reply to 3 most common questions received from you.
Let's dive in.
Let's talk basics: What does IAS 23 Borrowing Costs say?
The core principle of IAS 23 Borrowing Costs is that you should capitalize borrowing costs if they are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset.
Other borrowing costs are expensed in profit or loss.
Here, let me clarify 3 essential issues:
What are qualifying assets?
Qualifying assets are assets that take a substantial period of time to get ready for their intended use or sale.
Note here that IAS 23 does not say it must necessarily be an item of a property, plant and equipment under IAS 16. It can also include some inventories or intangibles, too!
But what is a "substantial period of time"?
Well, that's not defined in IAS 23, so here you need to apply some judgment. Normally, if an asset takes more than 1 year to be ready, then it would be qualifying.
What can we capitalize?
IAS 23 specifically mentions 3 types of borrowing costs that can be capitalized:
- Interest expenses (refer to the effective interest method under IFRS 9/IAS 39);
- Finance charges on finance leases under IAS 17; and
- Exchange differences on borrowings in foreign currencies, but only those representing the adjustment to interest costs.
However, IAS 23 is pretty silent on some types of expenses and there are doubts whether they are borrowing costs or not, for example:
- Interest cost on derivatives used to manage interest rate risk on borrowings;
- Dividends payable on preference shares (or other types of shares classified as liabilities);
- Gains or losses arising from early repayment of borrowings, etc.
Here again, we need to apply our knowledge from other IFRS standards and sometimes, make a judgment, too.
How do you capitalize?
IAS 23 differentiates between capitalizing borrowing costs on general borrowings and specific borrowings.
Specific borrowings
If you borrowed some funds specifically for the acquisition of a qualifying asset, then the capitalization is easy:
You simply capitalize the actual costs incurred less any income earned on the temporary investment of such borrowings.
Let me give you a short example:
On 1st May 20X1, DEF took a loan of CU 1 000 000 from a bank at the annual interest rate of 5%. The purpose of this loan was to finance a construction of a production hall.
The construction started on 1 June 20X1. DEF temporarily invested CU 800 000 borrowed money during the months of June and July 20X1 at the rate of 2% p.a.
What borrowing cost can be capitalized in 20X1? (Assume all interest was paid).
Although the funds were withdrawn on 1st May, the capitalization can start only on 1st June 20X1 when all criteria were met (the construction had not started until 1st June).
- Interest expense: CU 1 000 000 x 5% x 7/12 = CU 29 167
Note: this is very simplified calculation and if the loan is repayable in installments, then you need to take the real interest incurred (by the effective interest method).
- Less investment income: CU 800 000 x 2% x 2/12 = CU 2 667
- Total borrowing cost to capitalize in 20X1: CU 26 500
Just don't forget that the borrowing cost in May 20X1 is expensed in profit or loss, as the capitalization criteria were not met in that period.
General borrowings
Now, there's more trouble with capitalizing general borrowings, as you need to prepare a bit more calculations.
General borrowings are those funds that are obtained for various purposes and they are used (apart from these other purposes) also for the acquisition of a qualifying asset.
In this case, you need to apply so-called capitalization rate to the borrowing funds on that asset, calculated as the weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to general pool.
To illustrate it, let me give you an example about capitalizing borrowing costs on general borrowings.
KLM had the following loans in place at the beginning and end of 20X1:
|1 January 20X1
|31 December 20X1
|Bank loan, 6% p.a.
|200 000
|Bank loan, 8% p.a.
|130 000
|130 000
|Debenture stock, 5.5% p.a.
|50 000
|50 000
The bank loan at 6% p.a. was taken in July 20X1 to finance the construction of a new production hall (construction began on 1 March 20X1).
The bank loan at 8% p.a. and debenture stock were taken for no specific purpose and KLM used them to finance general spending and the construction of a new machinery.
KLM used CU 60 000 for the construction of the machinery on 1 February 20X1 and CU 25 000 on 1 September 20X1.
What borrowing cost should be capitalized for the new machinery?
You ignore bank loan at 6% p.a., because it is a specific borrowing for another asset.
Only general borrowings relate to the financing of the new machinery and therefore, we need to calculate the capitalization rate:
- Weighted average rate = (8% x 130 000 /(130 000+50 000)) + (5.5% x 50 000/(130 000+50 000)) = 5.78%+ 1.53% = 7.31%
- Borrowing costs for the new machinery in 20X1 = CU 60 000 x 7.31% x 11/12 + CU 25 000 x 7.31% x 4/12 = CU 4 021 + CU 609 = CU 4 630.
The hottest questions in capitalizing borrowing cost
After we know the basics, let me give you my opinion on 3 the most common and often questions I get in relation to capitalizing borrowing cost.
I receive these questions quite often, so let me shed some light there.
Question #1: Can you capitalize interest cost in the cost of inventories?
It depends.
In most cases, inventories do not take a substantial period to get ready and in this case no, you cannot capitalize.
But here, there are some examples of inventories that can take a substantial period to complete:
- Wine, cheese or whiskey that matures in bottle or cask for a long period of time;
- Large items of equipment, such as aircraft, ships etc.
In this case, you can capitalize borrowing cost, but it's up to you if you will or won't.
While you have no choice for PPE (you have to capitalize), you have a choice for inventories: either you capitalize, or expense in profit or loss.
Question #2: Can you capitalize foreign exchange loss on specifically borrowed money in a foreign currency?
No, you cannot.
Yes, IAS 23 says that exchange differences on foreign currency borrowings are a borrowing cost to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment of interest cost.
Simply speaking:
- You can capitalize the difference between the interest on the foreign currency loan and the hypothetical interest expense in your own (functional currency), because that's regarded as borrowing cost;
- You cannot capitalize the foreign exchange gain/loss on the liability (loan) itself, because that's NOT a borrowing cost. You need to realize here, that your loan is a financial liability that must be subsequently measured under IAS 39/IFRS 9.
Question #3: Can you capitalize interest cost on intercompany loan for qualifying assets?
Yes, in the separate financial statements of the borrowing company.
However, be a bit careful about the consolidated financial statements, because based on the intercompany relationship (subsidiary or associate?), the intercompany loan might be eliminated.
Also, let me point out one more issue in relation to intercompany loans: often, they are provided interest-free.
Under IFRS 9, you should recognize almost all financial instruments at their fair value (sometimes plus transaction cost) and if a subsidiary gets an interest-free loan from a parent, it's nominal amount is not at fair value.
Therefore, a subsidiary needs to set the fair value of the loan received using the market interest rates and book the difference between the loan's fair value and the cash received in profit or loss (based on the substance of a transaction).
Then, interest expense calculated by the effective interest method is capitalized.
I know, this might sound odd: the loan is interest-free, but you still need to capitalize some borrowing cost on it. Careful!
Do you face any other issues with the borrowing cost? Please leave a comment below and share this article with your friends. Thanks!

Hotel at a Glance: Chestnut Mountain Resort
Illinois might not be the first place that springs to mind when you think of a mountain resort. Galena's Chestnut Mountain Resort is an exception. From the top of its namesake 1,020-foot peak, you can see clear through to two other states: Iowa and Wisconsin. In the winter, Chestnut's slopes are filled with snowboarders and downhill skiers, streaking down towards the Mississippi River. But when summer rolls around, visitors ride the chairlift to the top and sled down the mountain's 2,000-foot alpine slide.
- The Great Outdoors: Explore five miles of hiking and biking trails on Chestnut Mountain
- In-room amenities: Standard two-queen rooms come with a TV, free WiFi, sofa sleeper, and sitting area with table and chairs
- Dig into fresh seafood, steaks, sandwiches, and pizzas at the Sunset Grille, perched atop a bluff that overlooks the Mississippi River Valley
- Play a game such as miniature golf or disc golf, or rent a bike from the front desk
- Make a splash in the indoor pool or soak in the hot tub
- Segway tour: The resort offers Segway tours that explore the property's scenic terrain for 75-90 minutes.
- Rolling on the river: Sign up for a 90-minute cruise down the Mississippi River, where you can look out for local wildlife (including the bald eagle), learn about local history, or just enjoy the river's famous beauty.
Galena, Illinois: Quaint Mississippi River Town with Historic Main Street
Galena is a relic from the mid-19th century, when it first boomed as a mining town and port city on the Mississippi River. Today, its quaint downtown historic district—which Fodor's praises as the "epitome of small-town America"—is lined with coffee shops, specialty boutiques, art galleries, and restaurants in 19th-century brick storefronts. Its Main Street even earned a spot on a Travel + Leisure list of "America's Greatest Main Streets."
History buffs should make a stop at Ulysses S. Grant's Home, where the 18th president and Civil War general lived after the war. Other popular pursuits include golfing at Eagle Ridge or touring wineries in the area.

Memorial Day may officially be all about honoring our brave servicemen and women who have lost their lives defending our country, but for most Americans the focus of Memorial Day is enjoying the long weekend with a road trip. While the emphasis of a road trip is often the destination, getting there is usually half the fun.According to a recent study commissioned by Outcast, the network of video-at-the-gas-pump locations that is seemingly becoming ubiquitous, the three vehicles Americans most want to take on a road trip are the Chevrolet Corvette, the Ford Mustang, and the Toyota Prius. Yeah. We were as shocked about that last one as you probably are. Anyways, for today's Memorial Day-themed Thread of the Day, we'd like to know which vehicle you'd most like to take on a Memorial Day road trip. Many of our staffers are actually testing their picks for Memorial Day road trip cars this weekend, with vehicles like the Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Z51 Convertible, Mazda6, Infiniti Q50 S, and Jaguar F-Type all signed out for trips.Which car do you most want to take a Memorial Day road trip in? Sound off with your pick and why in the comments below. Oh, and among the other surprises from the "summer roadtrip" research conducted for Outcast by Equation Research: The two people wanted in the passenger seat most: Jennifer Aniston and Jimmy Fallon. No offense to Aniston or Fallon, but no Kate Upton? No Ronaldo? Then again, folks wanted a Prius, too. Go figure…The survey asked what snacks people pick up at convenience stores along the open road. Thirty-five percent favored Lay's brand in the "potato chip/salty snack" category, followed by Doritos at 13 percent and Pringles at 7 percent. In "candy and chocolate," the Hershey brand was the choice of 25 percent of the respondents, followed by M&Ms with 14 percent and Reese's with 11 percent. Jack Link's, with 33 percent, was the leader among the "jerkey and meat snacks" category, followed by the iconic Slim Jim at 15 percent and Oberto at 6 percent. And why they asked folks who clearly aren't worried about health food about their water preferences we're not sure, but Dasani was the top choice of bottled water.

Materials you need:
- String- I used colored hemp from the Dollarstore (of course!)
- Small beads- can be any size, I used two small colored beads
- One big bead- from Michael's
- Wire- I bought mine from Michael's, which was about $5.00 Canadian
- Small connector rings- I'm not actually sure if that's what they are called, but it's a small ring connecting the big bead and the string. Again from Michael's
- Pliers- I got mine cheap from the Dollarstore
- Scissors
- First What you need to do for this necklace is cut a piece of wire long enough to wrap around your big bead a couple of times. Put the wire through the hole in the bead so that it will stay in place, and start wrapping it tightly around the sides. This is where you may need the pliers if the wire is not very bendable.
- Second, take your string and cut it to your desired length. Make sure you have it doubled because it has to go around your neck, so it will be twice the length if you just measured out one strand. What I did, was made it so the bead would fall almost to my stomach, then put two slip knots in at the top so if I wanted it shorter, I could.
- Third, take your connector ring and put it around the surrounding wire of the big bead, then put your string through it as well so that your necklace is now put together.
- Put your two small beads through the string down to the bottom by the big bead. If they do not fit both strings (like mine didn't) just put them on one string and tie a knot with both strings above thee beads so they stay in place.
- Tie either a regular knot at the top of your necklace or a slip knot (by tying a knot with only the left string over the right string and vice versa), and your ALL DONE!
This is what mine turned out like :)

New Air Jordans: Air Jordan 11
December 24, 2011 by staff
New Air Jordans: Air Jordan 11, Fights, vandalism and arrests marked the release of Nike's new Air Jordan basketball shoes as a shopping rush on stores across the country led to unrest that nearly turned into rioting.
The outbursts of chaos stretched from Washington state to Georgia as shoppers – often waiting for hours in lines – converged on stores Friday in pursuit of the shoes, a retro model of one of the most popular Air Jordans ever made.
In suburban Seattle, police used pepper spray on about 20 customers who started fighting at the Westfield Southcenter mall. The crowd started gathering at four stores in the mall around midnight and had grown to more than 1,000 people by 4 a.m., when the stores opened, Tukwila Officer Mike Murphy said. He said it started as fighting and pushing among people in line and escalated over the next hour.
Murphy said no injuries were reported, although some people suffered cuts or scrapes from fights. Shoppers also broke two doors, and 18-year-old man was arrested for assault after authorities say he punched an officer.
"He did not get his shoes; he went to jail," Murphy said.
The mayhem was reminiscent of the violence that broke out 20 years ago in many cities as the shoes became popular targets for thieves. It also had a decidedly Black Friday feel as huge crowds of shoppers overwhelmed stores for a must-have item.
In some areas, lines began forming several hours before businesses opened for the $180 shoes that were selling in a limited release.
As the crowds kept growing through the night, they became more unruly and ended in vandalism, violence and arrests.
A man was stabbed when a brawl broke out between several people waiting in line at a Jersey City, N.J., mall to buy the new shoes, authorities said. The 20-year-old man was expected to recover from his injuries.
In Richmond, Calif., police say crowds waiting to buy the Air Jordan 11 Retro Concords at the Hilltop Mall were turned away after a gunshot rang out around 7 a.m.
No injuries were reported, but police said a 24-year-old suspect was taken into custody. The gun apparently went off inadvertently, the Contra Costa Times reported.
