Generally Accepted Accounting Principles
Generally Accepted Accounting Principles are the rules and concepts which have been accepted by accounting community for sound accounting practice.
Their usefulness depends on 'general acceptability' rather than 'individual acceptability' of accounting concepts. They (GAAP) have been formalised on the basis of usage, reason and experience. As stated by the American Institute of certified Public Accountant (AICPA)-
"Generally Accepted Accounting Principles incorporate the consensus at any time as to which economic resources and obligations should be recorded as assets and liabilities, which changes in them should recorded; when these changes should be recorded; how the recorded assets and liabilities and changes in them should be measured, what information should disclosed and how they should be disclosed and how they should be disclosed and which formal statements should be prepared."
Thus Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) comprises a set of rules, concept and guidelines used in preparing financial accounting reports.
Essential features of Accounting Principles
(i) Man made: Accounting principles are man made. They are not tested in a laboratory.
(ii) Objectivity: It means accounting principles must be based on facts and free from personal bias or judgment of the individuals who prepares the statements.
(iii) Usefulness/relevance: Accounting principles must be relevant and useful to the person who is using financial statements.
(iv) Feasibility: The accounting principles should be practicable or feasible.
(v) Axiom: It denotes a statement of truth which cannot be questioned by anyone.
Accounting concepts:
The term 'concept' is used to denote accounting postulates, i.e., basic assumptions or conditions upon which the accounting structure is based. The following are the common accounting concepts adopted by many business concerns.
i. Business Entity Concept
ii. Money Measurement Concept
iii. Going Concern Concept
iv. Dual Aspect Concept
v. Periodicity Concept
vi. Historical Cost Concept
vii. Matching Concept
viii. Realisation Concept
ix. Accrual Concept
i) Business Entity Concept: Business entity concept implies that the business unit is separate and distinct from the persons who provide the required capital to it. This concept can be expressed through an accounting equation, viz., Assets = Liabilities + Capital. The equation clearly shows that the business itself owns the assets and in turn owes to various claimants.
ii) Money Measurement Concept: According to this concept, only those events and transactions are recorded in accounts which can be expressed in terms of money. Facts, events and transactions which cannot be expressed in monetary terms are not recorded in accounting. Hence, the accounting does not give a complete picture of all the transactions of a business unit.
iii) Going Concern Concept: Under this concept, the transactions are recorded assuming that the business will exist for a longer period of time. Keeping this in view, the suppliers and other companies enter into business transactions with the business unit. This assumption supports the concept of valuing the assets at historical cost or replacement cost.
iv) Dual Aspect Concept: According to this basic concept of accounting, every transaction has a two-fold aspect, Viz., 1.giving certain benefits and 2. Receiving certain benefits. The basic principle of double entry system is that every debit has a corresponding and equal amount of credit. This is the underlying assumption of this concept. The accounting equation viz., Assets = Capital + Liabilities or Capital = Assets – Liabilities, will further clarify this concept, i.e., at any point of time the total assets of the business unit are equal to its total liabilities.
V) Periodicity Concept: Under this concept, the life of the business is segmented into different periods and accordingly the result of each period is ascertained. Though the business is assumed to be continuing in future, the measurement of income and studying the financial position of the business for a shorter and definite period will help in taking corrective steps at the appropriate time. Each segmented period is called "accounting period" and the same is normally a year.
vi) Historical Cost Concept: According to this concept, the transactions are recorded in the books of account with the respective amounts involved. For example, if an asset is purchases, it is entered in the accounting record at the price paid to acquire the same and that cost is considered to be the base for all future accounting.
vii) Matching Concept: The essence of the matching concept lies in the view that all costs which are associated to a particular period should be compared with the revenues associated to the same period to obtain the net income of the business.
viii) Realisation Concept: This concept assumes or recognizes revenue when a sale is made. Sale is considered to be complete when the ownership and property are transferred from the seller to the buyer and the consideration is paid in full.
ix) Accrual Concept: According to this concept the revenue is recognized on its realization and not on its actual receipt. Similarly the costs are recognized when they are incurred and not when payment is made. This assumption makes it necessary to give certain adjustments in the preparation of income statement regarding revenues and costs.
Accounting Conventions:
Accounting conventions are common practices, which are followed in recording and presenting accounting information of a business. They are followed like customs in a society. The following conventions are to be followed to have a clear and meaningful information and data in accounting:
i) Consistency: The convention of consistency implies that the same accounting procedures should be used for similar items over periods. It is essential for clear and correct understanding and interpretation of the financial statements. It is also important for inter-period comparison.
ii) Full Disclosure: According to this principle, all accounting statements should be honestly prepared and all information of material interest to proprietors, creditors, investors, etc. should be disclosed in the accounting statements. Moreover, books of accounts should be prepared in such a way that they become reliable, informative and transparent.
iii) Conservatism or Prudence: This convention follows the policy of caution or playing safe. It takes into account" all possible losses but not the possible profits or gains". The implication of this principle is to give a pessimistic view of the financial position of the business.
iv) Materiality: Materiality deals with the relative importance of accounting information. In order to make financial statements more meaningful and to economize costs, accountants should incorporate in the financial statements only that information which is material and useful to users. They should ignore insignificant details.
Accounting Standards are the policy documents or written statements issued, from time to time, by an apex expert accounting body in relation to various aspects of measurement, treatment and disclosure of accounting transactions for ensuring uniformity in accounting practices and reporting. These standards are prepared by Accounting Standard Board (ASB). Accounting Standards are formulated with a view to harmonise different accounting policies and practices in use in a country.
Objectives or Purposes of Accounting Standards:
The whole idea of accounting standards is centered around harmonization of accounting policies and practices followed by different business entities so that the diverse accounting practices adopted for various aspects of accounting can be standardized. Accounting standards standardizes diverse accounting policies with a view to:
a. To provide information to the users as to the basis on which the accounts have been prepared and the financial statements have been presented.
b. To serve the statutory purpose of eliminating the impact of diverse accounting policies and practices and to ensure uniformity in accounting policies & practices, i.e., to harmonize the diverse accounting policies & practices which are in use the preparation & presentation of financial statements.
c. To make the financial statements more meaningful and comparable and to make people place more reliance on financial statements prepared in conformity with the accounting standards.
d. To guide the judgment of professional accountants in dealing with those items, which are to be followed consistently from year to year.
e. To provide a set of standard accounting policies, valuation norms and disclosure requirements.
Procedure adopted in formulation of Accounting Standards:
The Institute of Chartered Accountants of India (ICAI), recognising the need to harmonise the diverse accounting policies and practices, constituted an Accounting Standards Board (ASB) on April 21, 1977. The main function of ASB is to formulate accounting standards so that such standards may be mandated by the Council of ICAI. While formulating the standards in India, ASB will take into consideration the applicable laws, customs, usages and business environment.
Following procedure will be adopted for formulating Accounting Standards:
a. Identification of the broad areas by the ASB for formulating the Accounting Standards.
b. Constitution of the study groups by the ASB for preparing the preliminary drafts of the proposed Accounting Standards.
c. Consideration of the preliminary draft prepared by the study group by the ASB and revision, if any, of the draft on the basis of deliberations at the ASB.
d. Circulation of the draft, so revised, among the Council members of the ICAI and 12 specified outside bodies such as Standing Conference of Public Enterprises (SCOPE), Indian Banks' Association, Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), Comptroller and Auditor General of India (C& AG), and Department of Company Affairs, for comments.
e. Meeting with the representatives of specified outside bodies to ascertain their views on the draft of the proposed Accounting Standard.
f. Finalisation of the Exposure Draft of the proposed Accounting Standard on the basis of comments received and discussion with the representatives of specified outside bodies.
g. Issuance of the Exposure Draft inviting public comments.
h. Consideration of the comments received on the Exposure Draft and finalisation of the draft Accounting Standard by the ASB for submission to the Council of the ICAI for its consideration and approval for issuance.
i. Consideration of the draft Accounting Standard by the Council of the Institute, and if found necessary, modification of the draft in consultation with the ASB.
j. The Accounting Standard, so finalised, is issued under the authority of the Council.
Benefits and Limitations of Accounting Standard:
Accounting standard seek to describe the accounting principles, the valuation techniques and the methods of applying the accounting principles in the preparation and presentation of financial statements so that they may give a true and fair view .
By setting the accounting standards, the accountant has following benefits:
a. Standards reduce to a reasonable extent or eliminate altogether confusing variations in the accounting treatments used to prepare financial statements.
b. There are certain areas where important information is not statutorily required to be disclosed. standards may call for disclosure beyond that required by law.
c. The application of accounting standards would ,to a limited extent, facilitate comparison of financial statements of companies situated in different parts of the world and also of different companies situated in the same country. However, it should be noted in this respect that differences in the institutions, traditions and legal systems from one country to another give rise to differences in accounting standards adopted in different countries.
However, there are some limitations of setting of accounting standards:
(i)Alternative solution to certain accounting problems may each have arguments to recommend them. Therefore, the choice between different alternative accounting treatments may become difficult.
(ii)there may be a trend towards rigidity and away from flexibility in applying the accounting standards.
(iii)Accounting standards cannot override the statute. The standards are required to be framed within the ambit of prevailing statutes.

Methods of Accounting: Business transactions are recorded in two different ways.
1. Single Entry 2. Double Entry
1. Single Entry: It is incomplete system of recording business transactions. The business organization maintains only cash book and personal accounts of debtors and creditors. So the complete recording of transactions cannot be made and trail balance cannot be prepared.
2. Double Entry: Double Entry is an accounting system that records the effects of transactions and other events in at least two accounts with equal debits and credits. Under this system all accounts i.e., Personal, real and nominal accounts are maintained. It is a complete system of recording business transactions.
Steps involved in Double entry system
(a) Preparation of Journal: Journal is called the book of original entry. It records the effect of all transactions for the first time. Here the job of recording takes place.
(b) Preparation of Ledger: Ledger is the collection of all accounts used by a business. Here the grouping of accounts is performed. Journal is posted to ledger.
(c) Trial Balance preparation: Summarizing. It is a summary of ledge balances prepared in the form of a list.
(d) Preparation of Final Account: At the end of the accounting period to know the achievements of the organization and its financial state of affairs, the final accounts are prepared.
Advantages of Double Entry System
a) Scientific system: This system is the only scientific system of recording business transactions. It helps to attain the objectives of accounting.
b) Complete record of transactions: This system maintains a complete record of all business transactions.
c) A check on the accuracy of accounts: By the use of this system the accuracy of accounting book can be established through Trail balance.
d) Ascertainment of profit or loss: The profit earned or loss suffered during a period can be ascertained together with details by the preparation of Profit and Loss Account.
e) Knowledge of the financial position of the business: The financial position of the firm can be ascertained at the end of each period, through the preparation of balance sheet.
Disadvantages of Double Entry System
a) It requires expert knowledge: Book-keeping requires specialized knowledge, so it cannot be prepared by a layman.
b) It is a very lengthy process: As it record transactions in two stage viz. journalizing and ledger posting, it requires a larger number of books.
c) It is expensive: It is expensive because an expert is to be employed for this Purpose. It, therefore, involves additional expense.
d) Errors of omission: If a transaction is omitted to be recorded in the books of accounts, it cannot be detected by double entry system because they do not affect a trial balance.
Merits of Single Entry System:-
(1) It is an easy and simple method of maintaining books of accounts.
(2) It is conventional and economical.
(3) It is less time consuming.
Demerits of Single Entry System:-
(1)It is not a scientific method of accounting because it does not record the two-fold aspect of each transaction.
(2)No trial balance can be prepared under Single Entry System.
(3)The arithmetical accuracy of the books cannot be checked in the absence of trial balance.
(4)In the absence of various checks, Fraud is more easily committed and it is very difficult to detect.
(5)In the absence of Real and nominal accounts the true financial position of the business cannot be ascertained.
Difference between Double Entry System and Single Entry System
Double Entry System
Single Entry System
Under this system, both aspect of each transaction are record.
Under this system, both aspect of each transaction are not recorded.
In this system, Personal, Real and Nominal accounts are kept fully.
In this system, only Personal Accounts are kept and Real and Nominal Accounts are ignored.
In this system, Cash book, General ledger, Debtors' Ledger and Creditors' Ledger are maintained.
In this system, only Debtors' Ledger and creditors' Ledger are kept. Cash book is also kept but personal transaction gets mixed up with business transaction.
Under this system, arithmetical accuracy can be checked by preparing Trial Balance at any moment of time.
Under this system, arithmetical accuracy cannot be checked because to Trial Balance can be prepared.
In this system, Trading, Profit and Loss Accounts and balance sheet can be prepared.
In this system, Trading, Profit And Loss Accounts and Balance sheet cannot be prepared.
For interpretation of financial statement, we can compute different ratios, if the accounts are maintained under this system.
Vital ratios cannot be computed, if the accounts are maintained under this system.
This system is scientific and follows certain rules.
This system is unscientific and does not follow any concrete rules.
BASES OF ACCOUNTING: There are three bases of accounting in common usage which are:
1. Cash basis
2. Accrual or Mercantile basis
3. Mixed or Hybrid basis.
Accounting on 'Cash basis': Under cash basis of accounting, entries are recorded only when cash is received or paid. No entry is passed when a payment or receipt becomes due. Government system of accounting is mostly on cash basis.
Accrual Basis of Accounting or Mercantile System: Under accrual basis of accounting, accounting entries are made on the basis of amounts having become due for payment or receipt. Incomes are credited to the period in which they are earned whether cash is received or not. Similarly, expenses and losses are detailed to the period in which, they are incurred, whether cash is paid or not. The profit or loss of any accounting period is the difference between incomes earned and expenses incurred, irrespective of cash payment or receipt.
Mixed or Hybrid Basis of Accounting: When certain items of revenue or expenditure are recorded in the books of account on cash basis and certain items on mercantile basis, the basis of accounting so employed is called 'hybrid basis of accounting'. For example, a company may follow mercantile system of accounting in respect of its export business and cash basis for subsidies and duty drawbacks on exports to be received from government.

HUSK by J. Kent Messum
HUSK was a fast paced, science fiction, political, mysterious, horror-show and I loved it!
Let me set the scene. We're in NYC at some point in the future. The political landscape is a mess. The Occupy movement has relocated from Wall Street to Central Park and has grown beyond all expectations. Our economy has gone to hell, people are out of work and out of patience. We now grow almost all of our own food, which sounds great, but it's not. We are growing our own meats, (yes, we grow meats, UGH), and vegetables in warehouses, with who knows what chemicals and additives. There is a severe water shortage that allows us to only "mist" not shower. Our technology has outpaced us and the best of the best of it is only available to the super rich.
One of these technologies is the ability to upload your essence, (your mind, emotions, thoughts-everything that makes you YOU), into a computer or server when you die. You then become a POST MORTEM. As a PM, you can live in your own virtual reality, you can be downloaded into a robot of sorts, or if you're SUPER-SUPER rich you can hire someone to loan you their body. These hirees are called HUSKS. Rhodes, the subject of this story is one of them.
Rhodes is having some trouble husking lately. He's returning to his body to find it beaten up, scratched and bruised. Nothing that would violate his husking contract, but definitely things that devalue him to a post-mortem looking for a good time. When Rhodes starts having hallucinations and memories that are not his own, he begins thinking about leaving husking behind and finding another line of work. Will he be able to extract himself from this business? Will he be able to return to a somewhat normal life and his pregnant girlfriend? You'll have to read this to find out!
The mystery here is quite engaging, and it's hard to figure out what's going on at first, until you get the feel for how husking works. It's basically high tech prostitution. With the lack of jobs and the tanking economy, Rhodes lacks the skill set to do much else-I felt for the guy. Most people I know, including myself, are a few paychecks or one major illness away from being out on the street.
Aside from the mystery surrounding Rhodes, the politics and observations regarding our climate and environment, the rich vs. the poor, cloned foods and the lack of fresh foods are sharp, on point and all too realistic. Messum has envisioned a scary and dark world that has no time or room for the poor, the uneducated and/or the unlucky. This is where the horrific aspects come in. (Other than the horror of lending out your very body and mind, of course.)
I was impressed by this story. The world-building is not only fascinating but prescient and did I mention all too realistic? The characters were mostly well drawn, though I feel like I didn't get to know Rhodes quite as much as I wanted to. Perhaps that's because Rhodes didn't even know Rhodes? I'm not sure, but I deducted half a star for something I felt was missing in Rhodes, in his girlfriend Ryoko, and in Phineas, a friend to them both.
That said, between the vision of the world presented, the technological ideas, the fast pace and the action that occurs during the second half? I totally enjoyed this experience and I ripped through it quickly and with great pleasure!
Highly recommended!

If there are any perks to being a potty-mouthed goon-guzzling wine blogger, it's getting invited to cool shit like Cabin Fever Festival.
There is one great fuckin' party happening in Margaret River from the 19th to the 28th July, all with the sole intention of breaking up your relationship with your doona and grabbing winter by the balls! With 35 unique events fully loaded with premium wine, local and international wine makers, a ridiculous variety of food, roaring fires, live music, beer and hip hop yoga, this is a festival like no other.
While you may not have heard me complain about it in the past 17 minutes, I am actually pregnant AF. As I'm Due to give birth at approximately the same time as the hip hop yoga brunch and pretty sure a big sneeze could pop this baby out right now (let alone all that stretching and bending), I wont be travelling more than thirty minutes from my chosen metropolitan maternity hospital for the next few weeks.
But I do think you should go. You bloody deserve it. And because I am an awesome person (and to take my mind off my pregnancy-induced heartburn) I've already done the research on the best wine-related activities for you to check out!
Getting blind to improve your wine knowledge
We've all been blind drunk at some point, right? C'mon Mavis don't lie, even you did it once or twice! Well this has absolutely nothing to do with that. This is a classy kind of blind tasting where you taste different wines out of a sexy black wine glass so you can't see the wine (but you can still see the hottie across from you). This helps you focus on your other senses, like how the wine tastes and smells (or the sounds of that hottie's dulcet tones). It's being run by Cape Mentelle's own winemaker so of course I expect this event to be nothing short of kickarse.
More details: Black Glass Tasting
Bringing the big guns out of the cellar
Cape Grace have literally ransacked their cellar and are doing a special Shiraz museum tasting of their best small batch, basket pressed Shiraz releases from a 15 year period. Holy shit, if that hasn't made your mouth start watering and your nose twitch I don't know what will.
More details: Ransack the Cellar
Margaret River Reds vs the World
This title fight has a whiff of a Green v Mundine bout in that we are, of course, all going for the local hero who isn't a total knob. In this amazing line up you get to decide if local Pinots and Cabernets really should win on a TKO over international Chiantis, Burgundies, and other championship contenders all of which are paired to perfection with delectable dishes. This masterclass (which has absolutely nothing to do with boxing) is hosted by Kate Lamont whom I have had a massive girl crush on for some time now, so go even if it's just to hear her talk.
More details: Margarets River Reds vs The World
It's make your own wine time!
Look, I've always fancied myself as a bit of a dab hand at mixing shit together, and really, how hard can making a wine blend be? Literally thousands of people are doing it every day.
What's that you say? It's actually really hard and those people ("winemakers") spend years learning, researching, and applying that knowledge in the pursuit of "the perfect blend?"…. Okayyy but how fun would it be to have a crack at it?
In this Wine Blending Masterclass with the Clairault Streicker Wines team, you get to:
- Learn about wine blending from the pros
- Taste incredible wine
- Eat cheese and palate cleansers
- Create your very own signature blend, and take home a bottle to show off to your friends (you don't have to share it with them though it's your special one)
How cool does that sound?
More details: Wine Blending Masterclass
The Spice is Right
Every time I have spicy food I have an animated conversation with myself and anyone else who'll listen. What wine should I match with it?
In this class you'll learn how acids, bitterness, texture, savoury and sweetness in spices and wine interact with one another. I'll call you next time I head for a curry.
More details: The Spice is Right
Get Porty
I would go to this class for the punny name alone but also you get to taste port, and port is bloody fantastic. Happs Wines are taking visitors through tasting stations showcasing the nuanced flavours of different fortified wines, and pairing the delicious port-iness with share platters.
More details: Get Porty
Chocolate and Wine Tasting Masterclass
Five words: Wine and chocolate. Fuck yeah!
Taste chocolate liqueurs, single origin chocolates and wine under the master guidance of the Providore team, and take home a bottle of of sensual Sambarino Chocolate Liqueur.
More details: Chocolate and Wine Tasting Masterclass
Need more?
Give winter the middle finger and head to the Cabin Fever Festival website to check out the full calendar of events!

Kfar Hassidim Youth Village near Haifa is aging and in need of renovation as well as serious updating of its technology to better serve its 300 junior and senior high school students.
Affiliated with World ORT since 2007, the village this year came under ORT's full financial and operational responsibility instead of the Israeli government. ORT is working hard to give its challenged students what they need to learn the basics as well as computer science, auto technology and agricultural studies.
The William and Audrey Farber Family Foundation has given a $1 million gift to Kfar Hassidim through ORT. The gift will help renovate and update the educational community's auto tech garage and four science labs.
When Rabbi Harold Loss of Temple Israel in West Bloomfield was last in Israel, he visited Kfar Hassidim and saw the
need there. He conveyed this to the Farbers, members of Temple Israel, and helped arrange for the gift.
"Youth villages represent a last chance for thousands of youngsters from challenged environments to survive in their country," said Dr. Conrad Giles of Bloomfield Township, World ORT president. "The Farbers' generosity in providing support in one of four villages managed by World ORT and funded in part by ORT America is central to providing the needed infrastructure required to house, feed and educate these vulnerable children.
"Without the Farber family's commitment and the commitment of many other Detroiters, including Andi and Larry Wolfe, who are funding the arts complex there, as well as Joel Jacob, Dorothy and Dr. Hershel Sandberg, Doreen Hermelin, and Joyce and Dr. George Blum, this village would fail in its mission. While few can provide the support at the level of the Farbers, we all can participate in funding this Detroit 'adopted' village. The annual Rub-a-Dub event gives us just such a chance."
ORT Detroit's annual fundraiser will be held Aug. 17 at Franklin Hills Country Club in Farmington Hills. (See below for details.)
"We are encouraging people to help match the Farber gift," said Nicole Miller, ORT America Michigan Region director. "New or increased gifts will help fund part of the Kfar Hassidim project, with Rub-a-Dub collecting $100,000 of what's needed for teacher training, curriculum development and course materials in order for the garage to be usable at the start of the school year."
Avi Ganon, national director of Kadima Mada, World ORT's Israel component, was in Detroit earlier this summer. He emphasized the importance of Detroit's fundraising efforts.
"Now we are trying to raise money for the rest of the village," he said. "The forces in Detroit are gathering to help this school and to give it the best tools for life."
Ganon explains that while ORT's youth villages in Israel are a focus, they are not its only projects.
"There are thousands of projects," he said. "ORT is a national provider of education to sick children at home all over Israel and at all the hospitals. And vocational education in Israel is our focus, our DNA. ORT is a game changer in education in Israel."
ORT was started in 1880 in Russia to promote education, training and self-sufficiency. It now is in 40 countries. *
The Rub-a-Dub fundraiser is Wednesday, Aug. 17, at Franklin Hills Country Club in Farmington Hillls. A silent auction, cocktails and hors d'oeuvres start at 5:30 p.m., followed by a live auction and barbecue dinner. Tickets are $250 each or buy one get one free for age 30 and younger. Contact Nicole Miller at (248) 723-8860 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

There's no doubt about it, we all need vitamin c in our bodies.
It is necessary for the growth and repair of tissues in all parts of our body. It helps the body make collagen, an important protein used to make skin, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and blood vessels. Vitamin C is also needed for healing wounds, for repairing and maintaining bones and teeth. Vitamin C is also an antioxidant that blocks free radicals from damaging our cells and DNAs. It prevents the build-up of free radicals to prevent the acceleration of the aging process and the development of health conditions such as cancer, heart disease, and arthritis.
We have lots of vitamin C supplements available in the market, but are these supplements necessary?
How much vitamin C do we really need?
Several factors help determine how much Vitamin C a person needs, including the age and sex. People who smoke and women who are pregnant or those who breastfeed require more doses of vitamin C. The recommended dietary allowance for children from 1- 3 years old is 15 mg per day; those from 4-8 years should have at least 25mg each day; 9-13 years should have 45mg/day; females from 14-18 years should have 65mg while teenage boys should have at least 75mg; females 19 years old and above should take at least 75mg while the males's minimum intake should be 90 mg/ day. Pregnant women's minimum intake is around 85mg each day, while breastfeeding moms should have at least 120mg/day.
Here's a few things you have to remember before swallowing that pill.
- Taking lots of Vitamin C is not the best way to prevent colds. Megadosing with vitamin C only reduces the duration, but not the frequency of colds. If you're going to get a cold, you're still going to get it. Vitamin C will just reduce the duration of the actual cold. It's going to be shortened.
- Vitamin C is water soluble, so excessive doses of it should is washed out by urinating. It is non-toxic and non-immunogenic, and does not irritate the stomach as drugs like aspirin can.
- Many chewable vitamin C products contain sugar, and all are highly acidic (which can be damaging to tooth enamel). It is probably a good idea to brush your teeth after taking a dose of a chewable vitamin Cs.
- Sodium ascorbate, known to be a less acidic alternative to the more common ascorbic acid, is vitamin C combine with sodium. If you are watching your sodium intake, if you are prone to hypertension or if you have a heart condition, sodium ascorbate is a no-no.
Various fruits like guava, papaya, citrus fruits (oranges, limes, nactarines, grapefruits and tangerines), citrus juices and vegetable (potatoes, brussel sprout, broccolis and cauliflowers) are high in vitamin C. Having a balanced diet should give you just enough supply of vitamin c that your body needs, however, many people are still unable to make these fruits and vegetables regular part of their diet. Some people are even at risk for Vitamin C deficiency because of chronic malnutrition and poor diets. These can include those with chronic diseases, the elderly and those who are dieting.
Before wasting money and risking your health by taking unnecessary supplements, ask your doctor first if you really need it and what type of vitamin C is best for you.

SSD with Data Caching in Cloud Hosting
Our top-notch cloud website hosting platform uses exclusively SSD drives, so if you buy any of our cloud hosting packages, you will take full advantage of the speed that these drives provide. We no longer use hard drives, so your files, databases and emails will all open from fast SSDs. For even better performance, we also use caching SSDs. A number of drives are used by our system for each file which is accessed more often and the data on these drives is dynamically updated to make sure that all of the traffic-intensive files load from them. In this way, the load on the main drives is lowered, so we can guarantee excellent performance for all types of Internet sites no matter how frequently they're accessed and avoid a situation where some websites are affected by too many reading and writing processes generated by others. This setup also improves the lifespan of the primary drives and decreases the risk of disk failure.
SSD with Data Caching in Semi-dedicated Servers
Provided you want speed and top-notch performance for your sites, our semi-dedicated server accounts will be a very suitable solution as they are made on a cloud platform that uses SSDs for each part of the service - e-mails, databases and files. This way, each and every site that you host with us will load fast. Just like other service providers, we also use SSDs for caching, but since all storage drives are solid-state ones, you will be able to take advantage of the top-notch performance all of the time and regardless of the type of your Internet sites. The caching solid-state drives are used for load-balancing and all the frequently accessed content is copied on them, which both reduces the load and guarantees the fantastic performance of all sites which load directly from the primary drives. The lifespan of the latter is also increased as there will be a lot less reading and writing processes on them.

All-terrain programmable robot could help drive inquiring minds
Known for its programmable robot balls, Sphero took a few cutesy detours but is back on track with the $399.99 Sphero RVR; a fully programmable robot which can be controlled via Bluetooth from a computer, smartphone or tablet.
The RVR is an all-terrain vehicle, about the size of four iPads stacked in a pile. It's blessed with two tank treads, two electric motors and a removable rechargeable battery. Under the bonnet it features coloured LEDs and a range of sensors including a gyroscope and accelerometer.
The Sphero EDU app lets you drive the RVR around like a remote control car, but its real strength is the built-in block-style programming interface which is similar to the Scratch platform which many children use at school.
These onscreen building blocks let youngsters dive into programming and grasp concepts without needing to worry about learning syntax and writing lines of code. Instead, they can drag and drop programming blocks to create intricate flow charts which issue commands to the RVR, accept input from the onboard sensors and even connect with third-party hardware.
The fact the robot is a vehicle rather than just a ball certainly helps spark the imagination, with my 13-year-old daughter — a budding engineer — taking to the RVR with more passion than with the previous Sphero robots which have passed through our home.
The RVR features a basic camera on the bottom which can detect colours, and Sphero throws a few coloured cardboard squares in the box to get you started. My daughter soon had the robot venturing across the room, making different noises as it encountered the different coloured squares. Sadly the RVR lacks a built-in speaker so the sounds came from the iPad she was using to control it.
Programming is fundamentally problem solving so, when she managed to roll the RVR, I set her the task of determining how to make the robot's lights flash when it was tilting. This involved watching the real-time data feed from the onboard gyroscope as she tilted the robot in her hands, adding to the sense that the RVR brings programming into the physical world.
One shortcoming is that the RVR lacks the collision detection features found in some other Sphero robots, meaning you can't reliably use the "on collision" programming block. The expandable nature of the RVR means you can add extra sensors, but it's still disappointing considering the price tag.
The beauty of Sphero's programming platform is its flexibility, including the ability to create custom blocks, so we worked around the problem by using the gyroscope as a makeshift collision detector. The onboard lights are handy when debugging your program.
Honing our collision detector, it became clear the onboard sensors aren't as tightly calibrated and consistent as some people might prefer; it's not enough to bother beginners but perhaps to frustrate perfectionists. The block-based programming interface also becomes fiddly on a touchscreen once your program grows long and complex.
Support for other programming languages like JavaScript ensures the RVR has staying power when young programmers are ready to move on to new challenges.
To be fair, my daughter is more interested in the engineering side of things than programming. If you're looking for a flexible mechanical and electronics project then you might be a bit underwhelmed by the RVR as all the electronics, motors, gears and sensors are sealed and clearly not intended to be modified.
That's an understandable precaution considering Sphero wants to ensure the RVR keeps on ticking. It's a solid foundation, endowed with plenty of speed and enough torque to make it up a decent hill. Even so, tinkerers who are primarily interested in a mechanical and electrical engineering challenge might be better off buying a DIY robot tank kit paired by the likes of a Raspberry Pi.
That said, the RVR is expandable thanks to a USB port and 4-pin UART connector for hooking up a wide range of electronics to ride on its back; such as a Raspberry Pi, Arduino or littleBits.
This certainly adds to its staying power, but don't expect to be turning the RVR into a battlebot on day one. Thankfully there's a good collection of online tutorials and a growing community to help you on your way.
In a market that's flooded with short-lived programmable toys which are often one-trick ponies, the RVR's flexibility and Sphero's established ecosystem have the staying power to make this robot a wise investment.
While the RVR is primarily focused on programming, its expandability could also make it the foundation of a great electronics project to help inspire inquiring minds.

My research is mainly focused to the determination of the chemical and physical properties of minerals phases relevant for the Earth and planetary sciences, together with the development of the mineralogical-crystallographic-elastic tools for understanding the behavior such phases under non ambient conditions. The properties of these mineral phases that represent the deep regions of our planet, meteorites from planetary bodies or technological materials provide fundamental information on planet-scale geological processes (such as convection, plate tectonics and subduction), and technological processes optimization. Moreover, my latest results are focused on the development of linear and non-linear elasticity theory applied to two components systems (i.e. host-inclusion). The development of my research is supported by experimental and theoretical interests that includes the following main topics:
High-pressure research
High pressure study of crystalline material by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction using DAC (Diamond Anvil Cell) apparatus mounted on point detector and area detector diffractometers (i.e. Oxford diffraction – Agilent, Bruker and Huber systems). In particular these experiments have a wide variety of applications from Earth's mantle elastic response (e.g. publications 2, 4, 9, 11 etc..) to industrial/commercial (e. ceramic industry, gemstone industry etc…) development and applications (e.g. publications 6, 8, 10, 17).
High-temperature research
High temperature study of crystalline material in situ by single-crystal X-ray diffraction using micro-furnace mounted on conventional diffractometer (e. Philips and Bruker systems). In particular those experiments have a wide variety of applications from Earth's mantle elastic response (e.g. publication 3, 21) and the planetary bodies spectral analysis (e.g. publication 15) to industrial/commercial (i.e. ceramic industry, gemstone industry etc…) development and application (e.g. publications 3, 14, 16). Recently, I have been developing a new apparatus for high-temperature measurements. The considerably improved performances with respect to its predecessors allows determining lattice thermal expansion on single-crystals by means of X-ray diffraction up to 1200K with much higher precision and accuracy than before, using the same methods adopted for high-pressure measurements (e.g. 8-position centring).
Low-temperature research
Low temperature study of crystalline material in situ by single crystal X-ray diffraction (i.e. using cryojet system mounted on area detector diffractometer). In particular these studies are devoted to the investigation of crystalline materials with ferroelectric and magneto-electric properties (e.g. publication 7). Few more applications recently on development regards the analysis of spectroscopic data at low temperature in order to apply the results to the shadow zones on planetary bodies.
Elasticity: All the experimental methods above mentioned are fundamental tools for the characterization of any crystalline material under non-ambient conditions. Analysis of these experimental results requires knowledge of linear and non-linear elasticity. To this aim most of my latest research had been devoted to further extend and simplify elasticity theories to be applied to crystalline material (e.g. publications 18, 21). The recently developed EoSFit7c program allows users with basic knowledge on elasticity to expand their capabilities for data analysis including linear and non-linear elasticity in a simple manner.
Kinetic and equilibrium study of crystalline material at high temperature conditions ex situ by single-crystal X-ray diffraction (i.e. Philips and Bruker systems) and using oven for the annealing experiments. In particular, these experiment are relevant for planetary and Earth's processes studies such as cooling rate and history of terrestrial and extraterrestrial rocks (e.g. publications 1, 5, 12, 23).
Host-inclusion systems: Expanding the limits for linear and non-linear elasticity intrinsically means dealing with more complex system such as "host-inclusion system" where the elastic response of the single phase component needs to be combined to allow the evaluation of the elastic response of the multicomponent system (e.g. publication 19, 22, 26, 27). Such multicomponent systems are among the most common cases on several disciplines going from earth sciences to material sciences (i.e. from mantle minerals to cements). Within the framework of the recently developed EoSFit7c program (publication 18) the "isomeke tool" has been developed and is still currently under development. Such tool will allow to retrieve the entrapment pressure by means of linear and non-linear elasticity of two isotropic spherical components (host-inclusion) system also accounting for elastic relaxation effects. Furthermore, current development is aimed to expand to program capabilities to handle anisotropic and non-spherical inclusion-host systems.

If you are trying to decide on a scenic location to hold your wedding, you may want to consider a golf course. To some brides and grooms, this may seem like an unlikely spot to tie the knot, but it is becoming an increasingly popular wedding venue. There are plenty of reasons to choose this site for your special day, and here are five of them.
- Gorgeous Scenery
One of the pleasures golfers enjoy while playing their sport is walking or driving their carts around on the lush grounds. No matter whether the course is in Florida, California, New England, or any other state in the union, the grounds consist of miles of impeccably maintained greenery. There are manicured lawns, trees, and water areas, which are all perfect backdrops for photographs.
- Clubhouse Facilities
Most courses have clubhouses with kitchens and catering facilities, dining areas, dance floors, electrical setups for music, and multiple restrooms. Even if you plan an outdoor event, it's nice to know you have a backup location in case of inclement weather. Some indoor facilities are not merely clubhouses, but luxurious country clubs. Clubhouse amenities often include:
- Tables
- Chairs
- Linens
- Silverware
- Plenty of Parking
It's important to have enough parking spots for guests for both the reception and wedding ceremony. You don't want to worry about guests scurrying for places to park their cars or having to walk long distances in their dressy clothes; at a golf course, parking is handled.
- Wedding Planners
Some golf courses are very accustomed to hosting social events, and have event planners on staff. These planners can be invaluable to help with all the necessary details of putting together a beautiful day of holy matrimony. For example, they can help with:
- Flowers
- Photographers
- Catering
- Music
- Rental equipment
- Golf!
One of the great parts of holding your wedding at this grassy, amenity-abundant location is that it is a golf course. Golf is a classy, fun sport and if you and your spouse-to-be are golfers, this could be a win-win for you two, because of:
- Free golf passes: As part of the wedding package, many golf courses give free passes to the bride and groom, sometimes for life.
- Romantic memories: Some couples choose a specific course, because they golfed there while dating. For others, it becomes a special place to golf or dine after their ceremony, because it holds romantic memories.
Getting married on a golf course has become a popular option. Whether you want to say your nuptials inside the clubhouse or outside on the 18th hole, you will have a memorable wedding gala.

A model of neural network with convolutional layers that calculates the power cepstrum of the input signal is proposed. To achieve it, the network calculates the discrete-time short-term Fourier transform internally, obtaining the spectrogram of the signal as an intermediate step. The weights of the neural network can be calculated in a direct way or they can be obtained through training with the gradient descent method. The behaviour of the training is analysed. The model originally proposed cannot be trained in a complete way, but both the part that calculates the spectrogram and also a variant of the cepstrum equivalent to the autocovariance that keeps a big part of its usefulness can be trained. For the cases of successful training, an analysis of the obtained weights is done. The main conclusions indicate, on the one hand, that it is possible to calculate the power cepstrum with a neural network; on the other hand, that it is possible to use these networks as the initial layers of a deep learning model for the case of trainable models. In these layers, weights are initialised with the discrete Fourier transform (DFT) coefficients and they are trained to adapt to specific classification or regression problems.

Schubert – Die Schöne Mullerin
Thomas Meglioranza; Reiko Uchida
Independent 004 (meglioranza.com)
Thomas Meglioranza is a young American baritone with an impressive background of recitals, oratorio singing, even opera, and together with California pianist Reiko Uchida has formed a duo mainly for lieder recitals. To date they have issued three recordings with considerable success and international acclaim. This new disc of Die Schöne Müllerin is their fourth recording and comes with a recommendation from the legendary Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau praising their "healthy and beautiful sounding way of performing these difficult songs".
The selection of the piano was of paramount importance as Meglioranza's personal preference for this cycle was an early keyboard sound. After much research and deliberation the final choice was a Zierer, a Viennese fortepiano from 1829 that had a "rustic twang" and a lovely, crisp and non-intrusive tone.
The Schöne Müllerin is a particular favourite of mine being the most melodious, very emotional and probably the happiest of all of Schubert's cycles. My first acquaintance with it was hearing the song Wohin? (Where to?) as a child and it made a tremendous impression on me. The story is very romantic: boy gets girl, boy loses girl. The water motive runs through the entire cycle; the brook (lieber bächlein) becomes a friend and confidante of the young man and some of the most beautiful songs are dialogues with the brook (e.g Die Neugerige and Der Müller und der Bach). My favorite moment is in the song Ungeduld where the young lover sings his heart out, declaring Dein ist mein Herz in glorious fortissimo, that's certainly understood by anyone who has ever been in love!
Meglioranza's fine baritone, intelligent singing and impeccable German diction, thoroughly inside the poetry, with sympathetic and stylish accompaniment by Ms. Uchida, does deserve Fischer Dieskau's praise and mine too.

Mint Theater
311 West 43rd St. between Eighth & Ninth Aves.
Tuesday - Sunday through April 12, $27.50-$65
A current pair of off-Broadway revivals, one a 1917 Hungarian comedy, the other a 1938 American drama, tackle remarkably similar topics, albeit in very different ways. Written by extremely successful playwrights, each follows an overly kind business owner dealing with relationship issues and financial problems, featuring a number of similar characters and situations, but whereas one ends up stumbling to the finish line, the other reaches it with head held high. The Mint Theater, which resuscitates forgotten, neglected works, breathes fashionable new life into Ferenc Molnár's Fashions for Men, which could alternately be called The Haberdashery Around the Corner. Joe Delafield stars as Peter Juhász, the tall, proper owner of a reputable clothing shop catering to a wealthy, annoying clientele. He has such a gentle, forgiving nature that he can't get angry when one of his employees, Oscar (John Tufts), steals his wife, Adele (Annie Purcell), and they take off with a hefty sum of cash Peter had set aside in an account for her. Peter doesn't want to go back to his primary backer, the fabulously wealthy, playfully pompous Count (Kurt Rhoads), an older gentleman who has his eyes on Peter's beautiful young employee Paula (Rachel Napoleon). Meanwhile, another of Peter's salesmen, Philip (Jeremy Lawrence), watches all the shenanigans with knowing glances. The second act, which takes place in the Count's extravagant estate, gets bogged down in repetitive slapstick as Peter is determined to protect Paula's purity, but the first and third acts, set in Daniel Zimmerman's wonderfully designed haberdashery, are a joy. The cast, dressed in appropriate finery by costumer Martha Hally, is uniformly excellent, with particularly keen turns by Rhoads and Delafield, who is so up-to-snuff playing the absurdly good Peter you'll want to slap him around to get him to finally face reality and stand up for himself. Director Davis McCallum (London Wall, The Few) keeps it all flowing smoothly in a way that would make Ernst Lubitsch proud. Mint artistic director Jonathan Bank has tweaked Benjamin Glazer's 1921 translation with the help of Agnes Niemitz and Gábor Lukin, Molnár's great-grandson; the original English-language version opened on Broadway in December 1922. Molnár might not be a household name, but several of his works are, adapted into such films as Carousel, The Guardsman, The Swan, The Devil, and One, Two, Three.
Theatre at St. Clement's
423 West 46th St. between Ninth & Tenth Aves.
Tuesday - Sunday through March 28, $75-$95
Another troupe that rediscovers classic works, the Peccadillo Theater Company, has brought back Clifford Odets's Rocket to the Moon in a solid production that ultimately reveals the play's severe flaws. One of America's most important and influential writers, Odets penned such plays as Golden Boy, The Big Knife, Awake and Sing! and The Country Girl and such films as None but the Lonely Heart, Humoresque, and Sweet Smell of Success. In Rocket to the Moon, which debuted on Broadway in 1938 with Luther Adler, Morris Carnovsky, Leif Erickson, and Sanford Meisner, Odets tells the sad-sack story of Dr. Ben Stark (Ned Eisenberg), a mensch of a dentist with a shrewish, overbearing wife, Belle (Marilyn Matarrese), who is none too thrilled with the sexy new office girl, nineteen-year-old Cleo Singer (Katie McClellan). Belle is also not happy that her husband is letting his fellow dentist, dour tenant Phil Cooper (Larry Bull), fall well behind on his rent. Despite their financial problems, Belle does not want Ben to accept a generous offer from her dapper, estranged father, Mr. Prince (Jonathan Hadary), to set him up in a fancier office in a better location and with more modern technology. At the same time, Ben is none too thrilled that the fabulously wealthy, playfully pompous Mr. Prince has his eyes on Cleo, as does one of Ben's patients, a hotshot swinger named Willy Wax (Lou Liberatore) who is zeroing in on her as his next conquest. Meanwhile, Ben's podiatrist neighbor, Frenchy (Michael Keyloun), watches all the shenanigans, sharing his perverse opinion seemingly without a care in the world. The cast is uniformly excellent, with particularly fine turns by Bull, McClellan, and Odets veteran Eisenberg, who excels as the infuriatingly indecisive Ben — getting Ben to stand up for himself is like pulling teeth. Precisely directed by Dan Wackerman (Ten Chimneys, The Man Who Came to Dinner), Rocket to the Moon soars in the first act, but the second act gets bogged down in a dreary battle between Mr. Prince and Dr. Stark over Cleo that is dated, misogynistic, and just plain tiresome. Odets tries too hard to make grand statements about family and responsibility in an America that is still rattling from the Depression and soon to get involved in WWII; the play works best when it gets right down to business, delving into the very human need for intimacy, understanding, compassion, and, most of all, love. But that's precisely what you'll find, along with a wry sense of humor, at the Mint's stellar revival of Fashions for Men.

"St. Francis would lament with tears, crying over and over again, 'Love is not loved! Love is not loved!" We love you Jesus and thank You so much for loving us, giving Your life to save us from certain death and eternal torment. You are too good to us. Thank You Jesus, Savior! Amen."

September 17th Feast of the Stigmata of Our Holy Father Francis
St. Francis' Stigmata Prayer
O Lord Jesus Christ, who when the world was
growing cold, didst renew the sacred wounds of
Thy sufferings in the body of our holy Father
St. Francis in order to inflame out hearts with
the fire of Thy divine love, mercifully grant that
by his merits and intercession we may cheerfully
carry our cross and bring forth worthy fruits of
penance. Who livest and reignest forever and
ever. Amen.

"To psyllium...or not to psyllium. THAT is the question."Well, she finally came around to second breakfast.
But where's your poop?!
It's been over 24 hours again!
I might add the psyllium back in tonight. I thought it was making matters worse but its absence doesn't seem to be helping any either.

Prof. Maged Abdel Naseer
The Egyptian Society of Neurology was founded in 1955. It serves as a minaret of neurological education, brainstorming of new ideas and sharing of updates.
Since 1999, members of the society have been holding an annual conference in the capital city under the name of the Cairo International Neurology Conference (CNC).
More than 700 attendees enriched the 2019 conference with their participation in various pre-conference workshops, including epilepsy, EEG in the ICU, headache, stroke medicine and neurointervention, neuromuscular ultrasound, and movement disorders. This was followed by conference symposia and sessions showing a mosaic attendance from all over Egypt.
This year's 20th CNC was a special one because it was honored by the presence of neurology experts from different parts of the world in addition to different Arab countries including Libya, Sudan, Jordan, Tunisia, and Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Interesting, for the first time in many years, Iraqi experts were able to make it to the CNC.
The story that began with the pharaohs will never end. •
Prof. Maged Abdel Naseer is the WFN delegate from Egypt.

Over 100 of our apprentices took part in the Sytner Mercedes-Benz annual Apprenticeship Celebration ceremony held at the DoubleTree Hilton, Milton Keynes on 18th January 2018.
Travelling from all our thirteen dealerships and many braving snowy conditions in the North East, they attended with their Heads of Business and family members to enjoy a business conference, meal and graduation ceremony.
Twenty six of our apprentices graduated and they are looking forward to continuing their careers with Sytner. We expect a further 31 apprentices to graduate successfully next year.
Well done and congratulations to all!
