There has been significant progress since we first reported on the development of Automatic Exchange of Information (AEoI) in an earlier issue. Beginning with the OECD's 13 February publication of a multilateral Standard for automatic exchange which was endorsed in May 2014 by all 34 member countries, along with Argentina, Brazil, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, India, Indonesia, Latvia, Lithuania, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore and South Africa. AEoI has now become a reality for many countries around the world. In this article, we examine what this really means along with reviewing the current implementation timeline of these early adopter jurisdictions.
"The next challenge regarding Automatic Exchange of Information is now to get all jurisdictions to commit to this Standard and put it into practice."
G20, September 20131
In the previous issue of frontiers in tax we reported on the background to the development of Automatic Exchange of Information (AEoI) and explored the emerging framework of international tax transparency.3 That article noted that at their St. Petersburg Meeting of September 2013, the G20 announced that they expected to begin Automatic Exchange of Information by the end of 2015.4
A key subsequent step was the OECD publication on 13 February 2014 of a multilateral Standard for automatic exchange of financial account information.5 This Standard was developed in partnership between the OECD and the G20 countries, and in close co-operation with the EU. The document is in two parts: Part I contains the introduction to the Standard; Part II contains the text of a Model Competent Authority Agreement (CAA) and a Common Reporting and Due Diligence Standard (CRS). It defines a Standard for mutual exchange of information on account holders with foreign tax residence, account balances, income and gross proceeds from certain financial transactions.
The new Standard was endorsed in May 2014 during the OECD's annual Ministerial Council Meeting in Paris by all 34 member countries, along with Argentina, Brazil, China, Colombia, Costa Rica, India, Indonesia, Latvia, Lithuania, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore and South Africa.6 Fortyfour countries and jurisdictions have committed to early adoption of the Standard and implementation by 2016 for exchange beginning in 2017.7
On 21 July 2014, the OECD released a detailed commentary on the standard to help ensure its consistent application.8 The OECD also plans to provide information and guidance on the technical measures necessary to implement the processes of actual information exchange, including compatible transmission systems and a standard format for reporting and exchange. This latter component is scheduled to be presented in time for the G20 meeting of finance ministers in September 2014.
According to the current implementation timeline of the early adopters, the new regime will start in 2016 by obliging financial institutions to classify all new accounts from 1 January 2016 and all pre-existing accounts as of 31 December 2015.
"Tax fraud and tax evasion are not victimless crimes: they deprive governments of revenues needed to restore growth and jeopardize citizens' trust in the fairness and integrity of the tax system. Today's commitment by so many countries to implement the new global standard, and to do so quickly, is another major step towards ensuring that tax cheats have nowhere left to hide."
Angel Gurría,
Secretary-General OECD2
(Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development)
In order to build on previous experience, the CRS has been built on the approach to inter-governmental information exchange developed in relation to the US Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA). But it is somewhat misleading to view AEoI as simply FATCA 2.0 or GATCA ("Global FATCA"). It is likely that it will apply to many more financial institutions and result in many more reportable accounts. Additionally, in some respects solutions already being developed for FATCA may be inconsistent with those necessary for AEoI. Financial institutions therefore face the double challenge of responding to both sets of requirements.
On a functional level, the requirements on financial institutions from participating countries are similar to those under FATCA. However, the scope is not limited to US persons but potentially extends to all customers with tax residence outside the implementing jurisdiction. Similarly, all pre-existing individual accounts must be documented; i.e., the threshold under FATCA does not apply. There is no exemption from financial account status for certain classes of traded instrument as there is under FATCA. Certain exemptions for financial institutions under FATCA do not apply under the CRS, and the treatment of some investment vehicles in non-participating jurisdictions also differs. All in all, this means that AEoI presents institutions with a much larger population to report on, covering a larger range of financial accounts.
Institutions in jurisdictions with Model 2 inter-governmental FATCA agreements (IGAs) (or in jurisdictions that do not have an IGA) may face even greater challenges than institutions in Model 1 IGA jurisdictions. This is because institutions in Model 1 IGA jurisdictions have had to develop domestic reporting systems to report financial account information, while institutions in other jurisdictions may not yet have developed such systems.
It is clear that AEoI requires a wholesale review, and a potentially substantial reconstruction of, solutions developed so far to respond to FATCA. In particular, processes for customer acceptance, know-your-customer (KYC) and customer documentation will need to be reviewed and extended, and new systems for reporting relevant data to the tax authorities built. Governance requirements for AEoI processes could be significantly greater than under FATCA, and need to be designed accordingly.
The major operational challenge which financial institutions will face will be to develop and implement efficient and effective processes and IT solutions. These solutions must be sustainable and scalable as more countries participate in the AEoI regime over the months and years ahead. All of this has to be undertaken while institutions are still working to achieve FATCA compliance: the consequence could be the inevitable disruption of systems and processes that have just been established for FATCA. In addition, to the extent that operating models have been defined in part to avoid or minimize operational burdens from such tax reporting requirements, these decisions will need to be re-evaluated in the light of the global scale of AEoI.
The major operational challenge which financial institutions will face will be to develop and implement efficient and effective processes and IT solutions. These solutions must be sustainable and scalable as more countries participate in the AEoI regime over the months and years ahead
Once again, the pace of regulatory change challenges the ability of financial services companies to develop the necessary systems and processes to respond. And while the deadlines are short, the detail cannot be specified until the CRS is fully defined in the domestic legislation of implementing countries beginning towards the end of the year. In addition, there are in certain cases legal limits to9 what can be pursued on an early timetable: in many jurisdictions, data protection laws prevent companies from collecting the necessary information on account holders in advance of the passage of domestic enabling legislation.
Nevertheless, there are a number of actions which can be mounted now, and which should yield benefits in any event. Examples include:
These and similar actions should also feed into the final key priority: ensuring that where business imperatives substantially favor one AEoI implementation methodology rather than another, the argument is effectively captured in representations to governments. Financial institutions can still influence how AEoI will operate. But the window of opportunity is closing rapidly.

Amazon's deal Amazon will build a $150 million distribution center in southern Indiana. The decision to build came after Indiana agreed to let the retailer go two more years before forcing it to collect Indiana sales tax. BussinessWeek reports the distribution center could eventually have 1,000 jobs.

Results from these Studies
- Variations in fiber digestibility of grasses can account for differences in intake and milk production of cows fed diets similar in chemical composition but varying in ingredient composition.
- Grass-based TMRs produced similar quantities of milk as those fed alfalfa-based TMRs.
- Dry matter intake increased as the portion of concentrate in diets increased, resulting in higher milk production in high tall fescue diets compared to high alfalfa diets [GIS-31].
- Comparing starch vs. sugar supplementation of grass-based diets, the non-fibrous carbohydrate (NFC) source did not influence intake or milk production, but sucrose feeding lowered N utilization efficiency, when replacing a portion of the high moisture corn in the diet.
- Tall fescue and orchardgrass TMRs performed as well as alfalfa, but grass will require more concentrate in the ration than alfalfa.
- Grass silage can produce as much milk per cow as alfalfa silage when rations are balanced. We observed no palatability problems with endophyte-free tall fescue.

Around Halloween, I wrote about my True Blood party, but tackling New Moon is a whole different beast (sorry for the pun, Team Jacob members). The Twilight Saga: New Moon hits theaters this Friday and the excitement is palpable. This film is beyond a trend, it's a phenomenon. There are so many awesome resources out there for throwing a howling New Moon party, and here are five of my favorites:
1. Hostess Blog New Moon Printables and Twilight DVD release party details: Jen at Hostess with Mostess has created free printables in two color schemes to represent the original black, red and white from the New Moon book art and new evergreen and woodland hues from the New Moon movie previews and posters. Both designs capture the essence of the book perfectly, and feature pivotal quotes. They would make awesome decor if framed and used on your party tablescape.
2. A New Moon Playlist from Stephenie Meyer: Stephenie Meyer created a beautifully thought out play list based on the characters emotions in the book. Who better to associate the characters perspectives with songs than the creator of the characters herself? My favorite is Stephenie's association with 'The Scientist' by Coldplay from Edward's heart-braking point of view. Burn these songs to a CD and you'll have yourself an instant party soundtrack.
3. Team Edward vs. Team Jacob Cupcakes from Sweet Avenue: These amazing cupcakes are the perfect inspiration for New Moon sweets. It may be difficult to replicate these printed cupcakes at home, but use them as a jumping off point for creating your own tempting treats. Think of dark, devil's food cupcakes with rich chocolate ganache and drizzled with red 'blood' icing. Or, to be more appropriate for members of your pack, consider spice cupcakes frosted to look like a wolf.
4. Twilight Inspired Invitations: Think woodland chic for your New Moon premiere party. This Secret Passage invitation features a scene hauntingly similar to the forest atmosphere described so well in New Moon.
5. Etsy Twilight Finds: This New Moon Collection of pins by manhandled would make great party favors for vamps and werewolves alike. The collection features adorable Twilight references like 'I Drive like a Cullen' and 'LaPush Cliff Diving Team'. If your New Moon party is in honor of a birthday and gifts are in order, consider these New Moon inspired jewels: a Lion and Lamb silver cuff by BrighidsForge and a Twilight definition pendent by hellobrowneyes.
And for party attire, look no further than the New Moon stars themselves. The images above are of Taylor Lautner, Kristen Stewart, Robert Pattinson, and Dakota Fanning at the New Moon premiere this past week and they all look supernaturally elegant. Look for inspiration in their sleek dark suits and glamorous gowns and you really can't go wrong. Image Source: Mail Online and Starpulse.
I hope everyone enjoys New Moon this weekend and that all you twi-hards are not disappointed in any way with this epic story coming to life on the silver screen. Let me know in a comment below, are you TEAM EDWARD or TEAM JACOB? Or, perhaps you're neutral like Switzerland?

Ever since McKinley Phipps Jr. was convicted of manslaughter in the February 2000 shooting death of Barron Victor Jr. in a Slidell nightclub, his family has been crusading for his release. It has been a futile effort for more than a decade.
But now, for the first time since Phipps was convicted in 2001, his case has been taken up by a lawyer who thinks he may be able at least to get Phipps' time in prison cut short.
In the wake of several recent news stories — one by the New Orleans-based investigative news organization The Lens and a series on the Huffington Post website — Phipps' family has hired Covington attorney Buddy Spell to study the case.
Spell has zeroed in on several witnesses to the chaotic scene that night in Slidell, when a brawl at an open-microphone night at Club Mercedes ended with gunshots.
Several of those witnesses have told news organizations recently that they lied on the witness stand, and some of them said they were bullied by prosecutors into saying things they did not see.
Spell and his associate, Tara Zeller, have identified eight witnesses who might be able to help exonerate Phipps; they have contacted a handful of them so far.
"I have never seen a case where this many people flipped" and changed their original story, Spell said.
He acknowledged that any witness who recants sworn testimony has a credibility problem with any future judge or jury. He insists that he is treating every witness with as much skepticism as prosecutors would if the case ever came back to court.
And he said he plans to pursue the case only if he is convinced that Phipps — who went by the rap moniker Mac the Camouflage Assassin and had been signed to Master P's No Limit label — is innocent.
At the same time, he is also trying to set realistic expectations for the case. He will probably stop short of trying to get the original conviction overturned.
Instead, he said, authorities may be open to a reduction in sentence, which could get Phipps out of jail before the end of his 30-year sentence.
Before he files anything in court, Spell plans to approach District Attorney Warren Montgomery's office to attempt to persuade it not to oppose his motion.
"The only efficient way for this to happen is for them to say there's something there," Spell said of the District Attorney's Office. "They will be willing to hear us out because they need to be concerned about this."
Phipps was prosecuted by Bruce Dearing. At least one witness — Yulon James — told the Huffington Post that people from the District Attorney's Office "stalked" her and threatened to take away her child if she didn't testify.
During the trial, Dearing took Phipps' rap lyrics out of context and used them to portray him as a cold-blooded killer, according to Phipps' supporters.
Dearing is still with the District Attorney's Office and has been promoted to supervisor since Montgomery took office in January.
In another twist, Montgomery may have an ethical issue with his office getting involved in the case at all. Before they settled on Spell, Phipps' parents brought the case to Montgomery, at the time a defense attorney who had not yet decided to run for district attorney. Montgomery eventually declined to take the case.
Phipps' mother, Sheila, said that Montgomery checked with the victim's family about whether they were amenable to a reduction in sentence rather than a new trial. When he learned that they weren't, he declined the case.
Montgomery confirmed that he met with the Phipps family and declined to take the case, but he refused to comment on why.
Still, his discussions with the family could create a conflict of interest for Montgomery, said Dane Ciolino, a Loyola Law School professor. If Montgomery knows "substantially harmful information" about the case, it would create a conflict, he said.
Just the appearance should at least make recusal a consideration.
"He should refer it to the (attorney general) out of an abundance of caution," Ciolino said.
Spell is optimistic that he will know his next steps in a month, even though he has yet to speak with the one person most interested in the outcome: McKinley Phipps.
Phipps, who is incarcerated at Elayn Hunt Correctional Center in St. Gabriel, is "upbeat," according to his mother. He's always been hopeful, she said, knowing that his parents were still fighting for him. But the latest developments have buoyed his spirits.
"This is the first time he's felt confident after 15 years of fighting," she said.

Withholding Official College Transcripts
Colleges are legally entitled to withhold a student's official college transcripts if the student owes the college money and has not made satisfactory arrangements to pay the bills. It is the only form of leverage the college has to force the student to pay their debts to the college.
A transcript is a record of the courses a student took and the grades the student received while enrolled at the college. The student may need an official copy of their college transcripts to provide to another college or to a prospective employer. But, if the student left the college while owing the college money, the college can hold the transcripts hostage until the student pays the bill.
The Federal Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) requires colleges that receive federal funds to provide students with access to their education records, including transcripts. However, FERPA does not require the college to provide the student with a copy of their official transcripts. Often, the college transcripts will be marked as "unofficial" and will not be signed by the registrar or certified with the college's official seal. Colleges are also not required to provide the student with multiple copies of their transcripts or to send a copy of the transcript to a third party.
There is, however, one exception to the college's right to withhold official transcripts. If the student files for bankruptcy and includes the college debt in the bankruptcy petition, the college may not refuse to provide official transcripts during the pendency of the bankruptcy proceedings or if the debt to the college is discharged. There is clear legal precedent that refusing to provide an official copy of the student's transcripts is an attempt to collect a debt and thus a violation of the automatic stay and discharge injunctions in the U.S. Bankruptcy Code.
Colleges may be on shaky legal ground if they withhold official transcripts for previous years that were paid in full. Only the current year or academic term's transcripts may be withheld for an upaid bill.
When financial aid and federal student loans aren't enough to cover all college costs, consider financing the gap with private student loans. Shop around to find the loans that best fit your needs.

How to make White Cabbage Kimchi, Bak-kimchi (백김치)
Korean cabbage kimchi is not always smothered in tons of Korean chili flakes and spices. Here is cabbage kimchi that doesn't have any chili flakes except a very little amount of chili as a garnish. We call it Bak-kimchi (백김치). "Bak" means white and so we can call it "white cabbage kimchi."
Actually some Koreans prefers white cabbage kimchi over the common spicy kimchi due to its mild flavor. Since it doesn't have any chili flakes, young children or people who can't have spicy food, can enjoy the goodness of kimchi.
This white cabbage kimchi ferments beautifully creating really flavorful taste that makes you want to eat more and more. This kimchi can go so well with any Asian themed meals or other types of cuisine as well. Add a few slices on your sandwich, or hamburger. Serve with very rich soups or stews as a side to tone down the richness of the meal. It can go with any meal.
The key to the flavorful white kimchi is to make flavorful stock. In a large pot, put leek, sweet apple, persimmon, dried goji berries, dried sea kelp (kombu), and salted anchovies(without the liquid). Simmer for 40 minutes until you get the rich stock.
Slice Korean radish into thin (1/8-imch) disks and slice again to make very thin matchsticks.
Slice the garlic into thin sticks.
A few dried jujube adds a wonderful flavor to the kimchi. If you can't find it, or don't like it, you can omit it.
Slice around the pit to get a long piece.
Then, slice into thin strips.
This is chili thread. You can find it in major Korean grocery stores. This is an optional ingredient. It is very gentle heat that you can barely notice, but it brings a nice look on the kimchi. It is more for visual not for flavor.
You will also need to collect salted shrimp juice, not the shrimp. Since we are trying to make the kimchi as white as we can, salted shrimp sauce is mainly used instead of other type of fish sauce which can darken the color.
Now, make a rice glue with the reserved stock, about 2 cups. Let them cool down a little bit. You will divide this glue into two different steps.
Combine radish, sliced green onion, garlic, dried jujube, chili thread, and the shrimp sauce liquid. Add half of the reserved rice glue and toss well to coat and set aside to wilt, about 10 minutes. This will be the filling for kimchi.
Now it is time to make kimchi!
Here is well salted cabbage. I won't go into tutorials on how to brine the cabbage. You will fin the steps on my kimchi making post,
Starting from the most outer leaf of the cabbage, spread a little amount of filling on the leaf, then repeat on to the next leave one at a time.
Try to distribute the filling equally on every layer.
Take the outer leaf and try to wrap around to hold the shape. Stack them in the kimchi container lined with a plastic bag (I used a a couple layers of trash liner inside).
Mix 500ml of spring water with remaining half of the rice glue. Season with salt, about 1 tablespoon, and mix well.
Pour over the stacks of kimchi in the container.
Tie the bag tightly and let the kimchi sit on a room temperature for 2 days, then transfer to the refrigerator and continue to ferment for another 5 days or so. The ideal fermenting time depends on the climate and the temperature in your kitchen. It ferments faster in the warmer place, of course.
After a week from making, my white cabbage kimchi was just perfectly fermented. Look at the beauty!
Slice it up and adorn with pine nuts if you have. Don't forget the drizzle the kimchi juice. So good and refreshing!
As you can tell with many of authentic kimchi recipe, it takes time and requires patience. However, the flavor and the goodness from the homemade kimchi is so worth of its time and effort. That's why every Korean housewives makes kimchi all from scratch a few times per year.
Hope you can try this special kimchi for you and for your loved ones at home. It makes so much difference!
Have a wonderful holidays, everyone!

Learning theory and getting degree will not be worth until you have some practical experience. Most of computer IT engineering software engineering students get hands on softwares before they pass out. But geeks interested in hardware might not get a chance to open up a hardware. TeraBug Hardware Unscrew week gives you a chance to see inside the hardwares you use in daily life.
Everyday we will unscrew a hardware. I will try to explain as much as I can. You can also give it a try on the same or similar hardware at your home but only at your own risk.
Today on the day 1 I will start with small but very useful hardware, the youngsters' favorite, Mouse. I have got a brand new intex mouse and lets see what they are using inside it.
Tools required: PH screwdriver.
I have got a magnetic screwdriver set for Rs. 80. You can get it for cheaper from local market. (Pic below)
Lets start it:

Image 2 (click to enlarge): Mouse with PH screw driver (4 Pins screwdriver looks like x )
Image 3 (click to enlarge): Two screws location.
Image 4: Unscrewing

3 – Capacitors
4,6 – Resistors
5 – Optical Light source
7 – Sensor IC
8 – LED Indicator
9 – Button SWR ( Right Click )
10 – Button SWR ( Middle Click )
11 – Scroll wheel
Image 8: Back part of circuit.
1 – Optical light/motion sensor
Image 9 (click to enlarge): Working circuit.
Conclusion: Optical motion devices are easy to make. Just need an optical source & optical detection IC. We can implement other device than a mouse. e.g. optical burglar alert.
What if the left click & right click button are uprooted from the mouse board and we try to connect them with wires so will it work

I work with the ephemeral elements of nature transforming data into emotional work of art using a combination of performance, installation, sculpture, architecture, technology and photography.
I'm interested in the art work as a membrane.
Having been a professional sailor, I spend most of my life reading the invisible positioning my self as an interface between my natural surroundings and the boat.
As an artist I folded this experience in my practice seeking dialog with my surroundings, becoming or creating art work as public emotional interfaces.
In October 2015 I'm invited to participate to The Arctic Circle a scientist led, annual expeditionary residency program were 5 artist are coupled with 5 scientist to collectively research the landscape and nature of the North Pole. In light of this commitment and thanks to the support of GlogauAIR, I'm opening a new paragraphs of my work. Looking into practices such multi-dimensional kinetic sculpture, sculptural data analysis and data visualization experimentation, I want to research how data can be waved into the narrative of a space translating it into and emotional, sculptural, physical and visual experience.

After a talk on different types and structures of repeats, we completed a task showing three different types of repeating patterns. I created a block, half drop and mirrored half drop repeat, using a simple spider motif.
We were also shown how to create a perfectly repeating pattern using the lightbox. It was useful to learn this, as I now understand how a croquis can turn into a perfect repeat (with a lot of adjusting!).

Winter Storm Skylar Preparation: 12 noon Monday, March 12
The National Weather Service in Raleigh is projecting up to two inches of snow in Orange County from Winter Storm Skylar Monday with a high probability of black ice Monday night and Tuesday morning. Town of Chapel Hill officials are monitoring the forecast and have prepared equipment for response.
For the latest information on Winter Storm Skylar from the Town of Chapel Hill, visit townofchapelhill.org/Home/Components/News/News/12154/22.
"The greatest hazard this storm is likely to bring is hazardous overnight travel conditions with temperatures dropping below freezing," said Vencelin Harris, the Town's emergency management coordinator. "Bridges and overpasses will freeze before roadways. Town and state crews will address those areas with salt and sand as soon as conditions start to turn."
Stay up to date with important information and links to resources at townofchapelhill.org/emergency. And, sign up to receive timely alerts from OC Alerts at member.everbridge.net/index/453003085611768#/signup.

Safe Driving Tips
- State Law: if your wipers are on, your headlights must be on
- Headlights are just as important to help other vehicle drivers see you as they are to help you see what's in front of you
- Clean snow and ice from your car before driving, including headlights and taillights; flying debris can be hazardous to you and those around you
- Give extra following distance to allow more stopping time on slippery surfaces (even if you think they aren't slippery); stopping on snow/ice can require four to 10 times the distance compared to dry pavement

ABERYSTWYTH University has gained the Silver Award under the Corporate Health Standard (CHS), the quality mark for workplace health promotion.
The Corporate Health Standard is a government-funded scheme, provided by Public Health Wales. Organisations are assessed across four levels from bronze, silver, gold to platinum categories regarding their practices to promote and enhance the health and well being of their employees.
This award shows continued progress for the university in the area of Health and Safety, following being awarded the Corporate Health Standard Bronze Award in July 2014.
Deputy Director of Human Resources at Aberystwyth University, Heather Hinkin is enthusiastic about winning this award and states that it shows the University is "making real progress".
"There is a great deal of excellent work taking place at Aberystwyth University to increase and promote health and well-being among staff and students. These include stress awareness, promoting healthy eating options in our cafes and restaurants, the Fit and Well initiative, supporting people who wish to give up smoking, and the current Travel the World campaign which encourages people to take regular exercise. I would like to thank the Corporate Health Steering Group and the staff, whose contribution to the ongoing work of promoting health and wellbeing at Aberystwyth University has laid the foundations for gaining this award."
The CHS initiative is a progressive programme and organisations are reassessed every three years.
The work to achieve the standard is consistent with the business excellence model, which is the driving force of quality and organisational development in many organisations.

You should already know by now my latest obsession. Transparent clutch, plexi heels and translucent sweat top. Evidently showing how crazy I am with this trend. Even experimenting my hair with a purple streak on one side.
When all things are see-through, you tend to be a little cautious of what is underneath. lol. Even the top, I took the risk to wear it with a bandeau to give it some contrast. I think I have rekindled my love for Jeffrey Campbell shoes again. They were getting a little too boring with those heavy wedges and Litas. But lately they created more simple, sleek designs to my liking! Do check them out below.
These street shots were taken in Hongkong, Tsim Sha Tsui. One of my most enjoyable shots on my travels. Hope you feel the same.
One more day to my BIRTHDAY (28th April)!! Woot!

Daniel Radcliffe Isn't Sure If He'll Go See 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child' Play
Daniel Radcliffe takes a stroll near the Hudson River on Tuesday afternoon (June 7) in New York City.
The 26-year-old Now You See Me 2 star recently revealed that he's not sure if he's going to attend Harry Potter and the Cursed Child while the play runs in England.
"I don't know. I'm busy doing a play here at the moment, but I'm not sure," he told E! News.
Daniel also explained why he doesn't want to attend the show's opening, saying, "It would be a weird one. I could be completely wrong in this, but I feel like if I went to see it that night, there's going to be a lot of Harry Potter fans there in the audience obviously and would that then become a thing? Would it be more about them watching me watch the show or would it take away from the show. I would never want to do anything that would distract or take away from the show."
FYI: Daniel is wearing an Alternative Apparel shirt.

We're at the intersection of great change when it comes to how we work.
Cloud technology is decentralising data and documents, removing previous access limitations. More of us are working remotely, using collaborative tools to interact with our teams and peers. At the same time, social media has become a standard way of life.
Stream, created by Zero, is a revolutionary product redefining the way teams interact. Harnessing the power of The Cloud, recognising the reality of remote working and embracing users familiarity of social platforms, we combined them into a cohesive solutions platform for organisations of all sizes. Using these principles, Stream democratizes the way work gets done. It aggregates content management and social into a new type of work flow that brings visibility to how teams work and deliver on tasks.
We had a firm understanding of what the end goals were for Stream. This provided us clarity in crafting a user experience that would not only feel common for users familiar with social media, but an environment that aims to solve what's broken with how we communicate and collaborate on getting work done today.
Stream leverages one of the most influential content management tools in recent years, Dropbox. More of us are choosing Dropbox for both simple and complex content sharing and project collaboration tasks. Stream connects seamlessly to your Dropbox environment and delivers a personalized social workspace around your Dropbox content. Stream enables you and your teams to create, prioritize and manage projects directly from your Desktop, Tablet and Phone.
Stream was designed to enable anyone, whether an individual or large enterprise, to add social context to the way projects run, content is managed and how knowledge is retained within your organization.

Forgetting Sarah Marshall, other romantic comedies inspire Vancouver writers' new book of poems
Vancouver poets began collaborating because of heartbreak-induced writer's block
When Vancouver poet Daniel Zomparelli found himself heartbroken and suffering from writer's block, he found inspiration in an unlikely source: romantic comedies.
Zomparelli teamed up with fellow writer and friend Dina Del Bucchia to write Rom Com, a book of poems that both celebrate the genre and turn it on its head.
One of the movies that the writers draw from is the 2008 film Forgetting Sarah Marshall.
The scene where Jason Segal's character stands naked refusing to put his clothes back on because his girlfriend of five years has broken up with him, particularly resonated with Zomparelli.
"I also felt like I had all these moments, I felt like I had my 'naked, please don't, I can't put on my clothes or else that means we're broken up' moment," he said.
"It's one of the things that's wonderful about rom coms, is that everybody has a subjective attachment to a rom com."
Zomparelli and Del Bucchia had the book launch for Rom Com at Hot Art Wet City in Vancouver on Oct. 15.
Del Bucchia, who said one of her favourite romantic comedies is Moonstruck starring Cher and Nicolas Cage, joked that much like the characters in the movie, she is the "loud Italian" and Zomparelli is the "brooding Italian."
"I learned about a new way to love working, and to love working with the person that you're working with," Del Bucchia said.
"Is that weird and mushy?" she joked.
As for Zomparelli, the project helped him finally get over his heartbreak-induced writer's block.
"It reminded me of why I love writing again."

"TAKE MASSIVE ACTION!" says the guy at the front of the room. "BABY STEPS ARE FOR SISSIES!"
If I had a nickel for every time I've heard or read a self-help guru tell me that I need to take massive action to realize my goals, I'd have even more nickels than I do now. A lot more.
Now, because I've made a lot of nickels ignoring most self help authors' advice, I thought other people might like to hear about a different way of approaching their lives.
Here's the thing: As I said in my previous post, when it comes to taking action, the advice that you should take massive action is not only hard to define, it's meaningless.
Let's say you're driving an older car. It needs a little lovin'. Lately your lights have been flickering, and a website you've read suggests that your alternator isn't as healthy as it used to be.
Now if finally one day it gives out as you're cruising down the interstate, do you need to take massive action to fix it? What would that look like, anyway? Would it mean that you immediately charter a helicopter to whisk you to your destination as a dealership replaces the entire car?
Obviously this isn't practical. And to be fair, I also understand that this isn't what self-help gurus are talking about. But the problem is, neither are they clear on what they do mean. Well, I am. And here's what I'd do:
Take appropriate action.
If you don't have much money, you assess what resources you do have. Maybe you're not much of a mechanic either. But now you have a problem that can't be solved by hiring someone to come and help you, because you can't afford it. Use the tools that you've got. You immediately put the Law of Attraction into effect by visualizing a positive outcome to the situation, whatever might be best for you in the long term (not the short term). You find out where you can get a replacement alternator for as cheap as possible. If you don't have internet access you go to a library if you need to, to learn how to replace it. You scrounge whatever tools you have or can borrow, and you change the alternator. This whole process is going to take some time.
Massive action? To some people, maybe it is. I'd say it's appropriate, though.
One criteria I would advise you to always use is to make sure your philosophies are scalable. What I mean is, if it's good for situation A, then use it on situation B. Don't let your ethics and motivation be dictated by the mood you're in. If "massive action" means "appropriate action", meaning that it's appropriate to the problem in order to get it solved, then great. Otherwise, don't confuse the two.
It's tempting to get all fired up and assume you're going to be a millionaire overnight if you "take massive action". But you need to figure out what that means, because otherwise it's too easy to assume that the action you really are taking just isn't massive enough. This tripped me up for years because I didn't understand it properly. I'd take what I thought was "massive action", and I didn't understand that you have to just climb the steps as they come. I'd sit down to take appropriate action on a project and get discouraged because a little voice inside me would insist that my actions weren't massive enough. But an airplane on its way up to 30,000 feet has to pass through every single foot of air before that to get there.
You can't cross a chasm in two small jumps, so don't be afraid to take a big step where you have to. But keep it in perspective.
The most effective approach is to discover and decide in advance how successful you're going to be by examining your answer to The Right Question, and you can't go wrong.

Bill Lewis says those who have ordered packages through him can expect them to arrive around 5pm on Tuesday. He'll send out an email to everyone as soon as he has a precise ETA.
Hiving Package Bees: El Rey offers us some insight into what to DO with those packages once we get them (presentation done first so we can gather outside while it's still light).
Packages come with a big can of syrup installed. The can has a hole with a mesh cover on it to allow the bees to feed without it making a mess. The package also has a queen in a cage inside, usually hung from a metal wire so you can easily find it. First, take the can of syrup out. Then find the queen's cage and slide the wire to the hole left by the can so you can pull the queen cage out. Hang the queen cage between two frames in the new hive. Keep bees on her/the cage if you can during the transition.
The old method of transferring the bees was to turn the box over, rap it a couple of times, and dump all the bees out. This results in a lot of bees in the air, and fairly cranky bees at that. A less disruptive method is to put the package with the rest of the bees in a deep box with about 4 frames (with the queen cage sandwiched between two of them) and an in-hive feeder. If you have a spacer handy you can use that to make room for a pollen patty on top of the frames under the lid. Take the empty box out a day or two later and replace with additional frames. Pull the queen cage cork out and fill the hole with some marshmallow or fondant. Don't let the queen out or she may fly away!
Can you clip her wings? Sure, but it's challenging – be careful/gentle.
Restrict the entrance of the hive to about 2" until the weather gets too warm or the colony gets strong enough to defend themselves with a more open entrance.
This time of year, when there's a nectar flow, is the time to add new foundation to be drawn out. Don't place the new foundation in the middle of the already drawn comb, though – the colony is too small to split like that straight out of a package.
El Rey brought a variety of other containers for us to see:
1. Battery box for large orders of queens – 50 or more – keeps queens in trays within the box, with sponges on the bottom to make sure they all have access to water during their trip.
2. Individual queen cages for smaller orders – these cages are a bit bigger than those in packages so that her attendants can be included. Often mailed in padded and ventilated envelopes by overnight mail, often glued in place so it won't rattle around
Requeening an existing hive: Kill the old queen (if needed). Give them a day or four (depending on how irritable the hive is) before putting in the new queen. Cut out any emergency supercedure cells you find. Press the new queen's cage into the comb (wire sides open to the bee space between frames) for 2-3 days. Pull the cork and leave the hive alone for a week Bill says he marks his box when he requeens and doesn't touch it for 10 days.
El Rey also brought us an example of wax moth infested combs so we know what we're looking for. Typically, you can cut the ugly bits off and let the bees clean the rest. Brood comb is more attractive to moth larvae than honey or virgin comb. Best defense is a strong colony that can keep the moths out, freezer storage of unused boxes/frames, or air-tight packed stacks of boxes/frames with some moth crystals (PDB).
Feeders & Things: Klaus Koepfli offers us some DIY suggestions around the apiary:
Hive-top feeders – get a food grade 1-2 gallon bucket (LA Honey, Mann Lake, etc. carry them). Place either a small hole in the lid or a large hole designed to fit a mesh screen, and seal the bucket full of syrup well. Invert the bucket over a hive lid with a hole in it to give the bees access. (You could also invert over the top frames in a hive and put an extra empty box around the bucket, but that eliminates the convenience of not having to open the hive to feed.) Keep the bucket weighted down in areas with high wind or they'll blow away as the syrup level drops. If the seal is not sealing well, remove and clean it.
Wasp traps – take a plastic bottle (1 or 2 liter), cut the top off near where it reaches full diameter. Fill the bottom with protein – tuna fish, cat food, etc. Invert the top of the bottle inside the bottom portion. Hang with a piece of wire that goes through both layers of plastic bottle on both sides. The wasps will go down the top of the bottle to get at the protein, but won't know how to get back out. When full of wasps, simply throw the full trap away and make another one – they're cheap enough don't bother trying to clean them out.
A quick word about mites – the only apiary where Klaus has found mites is the one adjacent to where he knows another beekeeper is keeping their bees "organically/naturally". Klaus is tired of irresponsible beekeepers and their infestations. Take care of your pests!!!
- Organization Management Software.
The influx of new members is reaching the overwhelming point from an administration standpoint. We now have over 400 members in 235 households representing 245 emails. In order to make sure everyone receives a good level of service and I don't burn out completely, I've been looking into the possibility of Organization Management Software to make my job easier and your experience more reliable. I've looped Eva in on this project because most of the software providers include web interface options in their packages.
I have researched several companies based on recommendations from friends and internet searches:
- Wild Apricot came highly recommended, but I quickly discovered they can't accommodate a household membership structure like ours, and charge based on how many email addresses you have in your contact list ($50/mo for 500 emails).
- Memberclicks is a frequently mentioned provider, but their costs were very high.
- Membee seems to suit our needs best and coincidentally uses bees/hives/comb in all their marketing. I swear I didn't select it based on that! Costs would be $55/mo/admin, they provide household membership structure capabilities, and allow for infinite number of email addresses in contact lists
Any system we employ would require contracting a payment processor if we want to allow collection of dues online. The top two options available were:
- Paypal - $0.30 + 2.9%/transaction => $0.59/membership paid as you go (the economic choice)
- Authorize.net - $99 setup fee, $20/mo service charge, 2.3%/transaction => breaks even at 80 memberships/month
If such a system were to be implemented all current service would remain intact, we'd only be ADDING options for those who prefer them. I will still mail hard copies to people who prefer them, I will still accept membership forms and dues by hand or mail, I will still print a membership directory if the membership wants a hard copy version. But the software could give you an option to sign up online, make it easier for me to provide reminder emails when it's time to renew your memberships, let us set up events with RSVPs so Bill/Clyde have a clue how many people to expect, let you edit your own profile information and control what is viewable to others, set up business profiles for your companies in an online directory, keep records of your membership and payment history, etc. Eva and I spent 2 hours on the phone/online with a sales rep exploring the capabilities and it would be easy for her to implement these changes in our existing website.
There was a motion to initiate use of Membee and Paypal as recommended. Discussion ensued. I was so busy answering questions I wasn't taking notes. Most questions were answered fairly easily and the answers found acceptable by the members. The one question I couldn't answer definitively was "What happens to our data if the club terminates our account?" Based on the uncertainty on this issue, there was a motion to table the discussion until May's meeting. The motion to table passed 21-18. It will be discussed as Old Business at the May meeting.
Questions from the Floor
- I have holes in the tops of my frames, about 3/8" deep, at an angle, about the thickness of a pencil lead. The phenomenon is happening in 2 out of 3 hives, brood boxes only. What could be causing it?
Powder post beetles, carpenter ants, possibly just poor quality wood with hole from the factory that had been plugged with sawdust later cleaned out by the bees…
Try swapping frames out and see if the holes appear in new frames.
- My bees are building out comb only on one side of the hive. Should I move them?
Naw, they'll fill in when they need the space.
- There are a bunch of drones at the entrance to my hive – why?
Jim Lindsay – it's a "man hater" hive!
El Rey Ensch – that's a weird and mysterious situation this early in spring
Gregg Floor – they might be mite-damaged drones
Dave Williams – they could be getting sprayed while out looking for queens.
- I've seen 8 swarms in two weeks - why?
The hives must have empty space IN the brood nest, not on top of their honey stores – make sure they're not "honey bound".
If you didn't see your own hives swarm they may be outsiders looking to take over because they smell your colonies.
- The colony is in a two box hive and staying only in the top – why aren't they moving into the bottom?
Bees like to move up – simply swap the boxes and they'll use both.
- If the hive swarms, how soon does the new queen mate/lay?
A new queen can take 3-4 days to emerge, up to a week to kill rivals and mature, weather can delay breeding – it can take anywhere from a week to several weeks before a new queen starts laying.
- How does a queen know/decide how many drones to lay?
If she has drone frames available she'll fill them.
There are seasonal influences that will affect how many she lays.
This month I totally missed a batch of cookies and a travel entrance screen that had been left for the raffle. Replacement cookies and the entrance screen will be raffled at May's meeting. – Ed.
Wine/Dishtowel – Bill Rathfelder
"Vanishing of the Bees" movie – went to a newbie in the audience
custom painted Teapot/Cup– Robin Finkelstein
Jewelry box – Mandy Abbot
- AGdayLA – Mary Landau is looking for volunteers
Wed & Th May 14 & 15, 8:30am – 1:30 pm, lunch included
Big Red Barn, Los Angeles County Fairgrounds
Help give 10 presentations/day, about 7 minutes long, to 3rd and 4th graders, about 18-40 at a time. Share examples of equipment/suit, discuss how to act around bees, discuss why we need bees, etc.
- Almonds – there were plenty of bees because so many almond growers have pulled up trees. There was good weather and good nut set. But there were unexpected bee losses. Something (it's unclear what) affected about half of Bill's bees. Colonies in almonds usually double in size, but this year many declined, especially near the end of the season. There was a lot of alfalfa spraying this season which might have affected them. There are always fungicides, which usually aren't a major problem, but there may have been an unfortunate tank mixing of incompatible compounds.
There was a meeting with the EPA because of the large number of complaints from beekeepers this season. One of the big problems is that labeling on chemicals is often inadequate. The pest control managers on farms – we need to talk with them about their recommendations to growers. There is a meeting scheduled that beekeepers will attend.
There was a lot of theft this season as well – few have been found. Some thieves were taking the time to swap full frames for foundation rather than taking full boxes.
- Jim Lindsay met with the mayor of Los Angeles about the legalization issue. They discussed the importance of designing legislation to encourage "safe" hives rather than wild colonies. The mayor wants to meet again, and Jim will keep us posted on progress.
- Mann Lake has had significant price changes since their January catalog was issued – be aware
- El Rey wants to point out that while our Q&A sessions are good, the Bee Culture and American Bee Journal publications are both also worth reading to get even more of these questions answered.

Alternative Methods
at BASF
As the world's leading chemical company, we have a special responsibility towards people and the environment. We also assume this responsibility by practicing "Responsible Care" in animal testing. We are researching intensively into innovative alternative methods of reducing, refining or replacing animal experiments.
Before we place new products on the market, we subject them to all the necessary ecological and toxicological tests and register them with the authorities. International and national directives and regulations on the safety testing of chemicals and crop protection products also require animal experiments for this purpose.
We are constantly searching for ways of reducing, refining and replacing the legally required animal experiments. About one third of all toxicological studies at BASF are already performed using these replacement and supplementary methods. With our research into alternative methods, we are a trailblazer in the chemical industry.

"Animal testing is still regulatorily required for a wide range of BASF products. BASF put great effort in the development of innovative alternatives to these animal tests in order to support the 3R-Strategy (Reduction, Refinement and Replacement of animal tests). The shared aim of all applied tests are to proof reliably the safety of the BASF products. Alternatives of Animal Testing is for me as a veterinarian an affair of the heart – for BASF it is a key technology to facilitate the development of safe products, to speed up the registration process, to gain positive reputation and finally to add value in a sustainable manner." (Dr. Barbara Birk, Experimental Toxicology and Ecology)
Alternative Methods in Use
We have already been using alternative methods in routine testing for many years.
Alternative Methods under Development
We are developing and evaluating alternative methods to allow us to reduce, refine or completely replace even more animal experiments in future.

Eating out, negotiation hacks, money rules, side hustles and more.
1. 23 Ways to Spend Less Money Eating Out at Restaurants
Money Manifesto — One thing I noticed while writing about personal finance bloggers: Eating out at restaurants is a weakness. Lance says, "My family usually eats out at least once a week. They do it because they didn't prepare dinner ahead of time.
That's a problem for many families in general. We don't plan our meals and end up wasting money at restaurants. Lance helps us cut down on our expenses. He discusses meal planning and other smart tips. Check out his post if you eat out too much.
2. 5 Actionable Negotiation Hacks that will Save You Money
Free Money Finance — Guest poster Edwin C. believes: "Being a good negotiator can help you in almost any facet of your life." This skill helps you negotiate your salary, your credit card bill, and more.
It also brings about awareness. For example, he discusses the negotiation tactic known as the "scarcity principle." It's when a salesman warns that "we only have one item left, buy it now or lose out." Don't fall for it and waste your money.
3. 4 Classic Money Rules You Might Want to Ignore
My Dollar Plan — Not all money rules work for everyone. After all, personal finance means personal. We do things that work for us, not someone else. Don admits that: "While on the surface they do make sense" you may still find a better choice when you carefully review them.
I like his first example: "Pay off high interest rate first." He tried that but got frustrated because his high interest debt was so large "it felt like I wasn't making any progress." So he started paying off the smaller balances and felt much better.
4. The Most Popular Side Hustles (According to Research)
Young Adult Money — Side hustles are rampant. David agrees and recently found a survey from CareerBuilder, which lists the side hustles people are "probably" doing the most. Survey taker tops the list.
David says "I wasn't surprised to see survey taker mentioned, as it's long been a good way to make a (little) extra money on the side." I was surprised when I noticed Uber/Lyft weren't mentioned. If you're interested in making a few extra bucks, check out his post.
5. How Much Time Do You Spend Managing Your Finances
Enemy of Debt — Travis doesn't say how much time managing your finances takes, but he does "list the activities needed to properly deal with your finances." For example, he says list expenses and income for a month.
He also recommends tracking all your expenses. You can use a notebook, a phone, or any other resources available that suit your needs and comfort level. Just start and stick with your plan. If it doesn't work out, make the proper adjustments and keep moving forward.
