Khrysaor, son of the Gorgon at the pediment of the Temple of Artemis in Corfu
|Poseidon and Medusa
|Geryon and Echidna
In Greek mythology, Chrysaor (Greek: Χρυσάωρ, Khrusaōr, gen.: Χρυσάορος; English translation: "He who has a golden sword" (from χρυσός, "golden" and ἄορ, "sword")), the brother of the winged horse Pegasus, was often depicted as a young man, the son of Poseidon and Medusa. Chrysaor and Pegasus were not born until Perseus chopped off Medusa's head.[1]
Medusa, one of the three Gorgon sisters, the most beautiful, and the only mortal one, angered Athena due to being raped by Poseidon in the Temple of Athena (Ovid, Metamorphoses 4.770). As punishment, Athena turned her hair into snakes. Other versions of the myth tell that Medusa was raped by Poseidon; many Greek women believed that Athena was protecting Medusa by giving her the power to make any man who looked at her completely harmless. Some versions of the story state that Athena also cursed her so that a pair of golden wings grew from her head. Chrysaor and Pegasus were said to be born from the drops of Medusa's blood which fell in the sea; others say that they sprang from Medusa's neck as Perseus beheaded her, a "higher" birth (such as the birth of Athena from the head of Zeus). Chrysaor is said to have been king of Iberia.
Chrysaor, married to Callirrhoe, daughter of glorious Oceanus, was father to the triple-headed Geryon, but Geryon was killed by the great strength of Heracles at sea-circled Erytheis beside his own shambling cattle on that day when Heracles drove those broad-faced cattle toward holy Tiryns, when he crossed the stream of Okeanos and had killed Orthos and the oxherd Eurytion out in the gloomy meadow beyond fabulous Oceanos.
In art Chrysaor's earliest appearance seems to be on the great pediment of the early 6th century BC Doric Temple of Artemis at Corfu, where he is shown beside his mother, Medusa.[citation needed]

Emily Harris, the host of Oregon Public Broadcasting's "Think Out Loud" morning talk show, says she's been asked to leave the show and the network by OPB's management.
OPB made an abrupt announcement Tuesday morning, says only that Harris has already left and "is pursuing other opportunities." Morgan Holm, OPB's vice president of news and public affairs, said that David Miller, the current on-line host and frequent fill-in for Harris, will take over as host next week.
Harris told WW that she was asked to leave.
"OPB has been working hard to expand their local news coverage, an effort I wholeheartedly support," Harris said in a statement to WW. "'Think Out Loud," started three years ago, is part of that effort. We have had some editorial differences, which management chose to resolve by asking me to leave. I wish them good luck as the show continues to evolve. Dave will do a great job, and, as far as me, stay tuned."It's a huge loss for OPB: Harris, who grew up in Oregon, had years of experience at National Public Radio and brought professionalism and common sense to her work on "Think Out Loud."

Making Do: How To Create More Space When There Isn't Any
Recently, the Merediths found themselves with a classic problem: They needed more closet space. The catch, however, was that they did not want to pare down their belongings or move walls to create a bigger closet.
Mr. Meredith is a busy executive who didn't want to waste time digging through an overstuffed closet every morning. Mrs. Meredith is a connoisseur of shoes, clothes, and accessories, always on the lookout for the next perfect piece for her collection.
The solution they agreed on was that he would sacrifice space as long as he could efficiently find what he needed.
But how could that be achieved in the space given, seeing that it was already overflowing? On top of that, they didn't want an island in their renovated walk-in closet. This would give them more available floor space, but take away valuable storage space.
During our consultation, we picked through the closet piece by piece in order to determine exactly how many suits, slacks, tops, dresses, shoes and ties we needed to account for. As with most things in life, once you know exactly what you're dealing with, the process of organizing it becomes far easier.
The Merediths were happily surprised when they saw that their space was more than adequate for their stuff. Using the space more economically allowed us to collaborate on a design that they were thrilled to have in their bedroom.
We raised the usable storage area up to the ceiling. That was a good start as there was a lot of available vertical space that wasn't being used. After that, we divided up the space appropriately, finding the right balance between shelving, drawers and hanging space based on the clothes and accessories they owned.
After all the big building blocks were in place, we found we had room to add some nice touches, such as glass shelves and cabinet doors, some with decorative panels and one with a full-length mirror. We also added some cubbies underneath the hanging space, another area that was previously underutilized. As you can see in the reflection in the mirror, we even created dedicated shoe shelves for Mrs. Meredith's extensive collection of footwear.
The Merediths are very happy with their new walk-in boutique closet, amazed every morning that we were able to find the space they needed while staying within the parameters of the project.
Erin Moore is an Executive Designer for California Closets Indianapolis and has been designing creative storage solutions since 2008. She loves her job and enjoys all of the amazing projects and people she encounters daily.

A Retrospective Diagnosis Says Lenin Had Syphilis
By C. J. CHIVERS
Published: June 22, 2004
MOSCOW, June 21— Whispers have circulated for decades that Lenin, founder of the Bolshevik Party and the totalitarian Soviet state it ushered to power, was afflicted with syphilis throughout his career. Now a new study turns that speculation into a retrospective diagnosis.
In an article this month in The European Journal of Neurology, three Israeli physicians sift through historical references to build what they regard as a probable diagnosis that Lenin contracted the sexually transmitted disease in Europe years before he led the October Revolution in 1917. Not long after the socialists' victory, the authors write, the illness strengthened its grip, leading to an agonizing decline and, in 1924, his death.
The idea is not entirely new. Despite the former Soviet Union's efforts to preserve a near theology around its central political figure, Lenin was long rumored to have suffered from the disease. The new thesis is not so much a breakthrough as a historical rumor revived and reframed.
To do so, the authors quote the journals of doctors who treated Lenin in Europe and the Soviet Union and review materials related to his medical condition and autopsy, which they suggest was a propaganda job.
They ask a question of enduring importance to civic life. Do modern societies know enough about the health of their political leaders? In Lenin's case, they strive to show, the answer is a resounding no.
''If you take Lenin's case and you cancel Lenin's name on the file and you give it to a neurologist who is an expert in infectious disease, the expert will say, 'Syphilis,''' said Dr. Vladimir Lerner, head of the psychiatry department at the Be'er Sheva Mental Health Center in Israel and an author of the study.
Reviews have been mixed. Some scholars of the early Soviet period are skeptical, saying the talk of syphilis circulated for decades, to little effect. ''There has been a vague rumor of this,'' said Dr. Robert Conquest, a research fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford. ''But of course in Russia, as you know, you have rumors about most everything.''
Dr. Gregory L. Freeze, a professor of history at Brandeis, was direct. ''They don't have the smoking gun,'' he said.
The study's authors concede this point but insist that they have a strong circumstantial case. They also propose a possible way to settle the question, further testing of Lenin's brain material, which is stored in Moscow.
'''Skeptical' is a healthy position,'' said another author of the study, Dr. Eliezer Witztum, a professor of psychiatry at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev. ''But the point is that there are a lot of medical questions that have to be answered.''
Lenin was 53 when he died, after battling an erratic but progressively debilitating illness. His death has been variously attributed to cerebral hemorrhage, stroke, syphilis, exhaustion or cerebral arteriosclerosis, which had killed his father.
The difficulty with a diagnosis of syphilis is that the symptoms are common to other ailments, so much so that it is called ''the great imitator.''
The infection, caused by a bacterium called the Treponema spirochete, first appears as an ulcerous sore, from which it spreads throughout the body, including the brain. Fever, an extensive rash and malaise typically follow. After initial infection, a syphilitic can spend years alternating between bouts of illness and apparently fine health.
When they occur, symptoms can be severe, including headaches, nervous disorders and gastrointestinal, muscle or joint pain.
In late stages, often 20 or more years after infection, the victim can experience mood swings and bursts of creativity, as well as depression, lethargy and dementia. Cardiovascular damage can lead to paralysis, aneurysm or stroke.
Until the advent of therapeutic penicillin in World War II, the disease was incurable.
Lenin's illness at least mimicked the progression of syphilis, afflicting him for months with occasional seizures and excruciating headaches, as well as bouts of nausea, sleeplessness and partial paralysis. As Stalin plotted for control of the Communist Party, Lenin was alternately lucid and incapacitated. Sometimes, he was unable to walk without assistance or to speak.
The worst spells were horrific. According to ''Lenin: A Biography,'' by Dr. Robert J. Service, professor of Russian history at St. Anthony's College, Oxford, he twice asked for poison with which he might end his life, remarkable requests from a man whose name was synonymous with struggle.
Communist Party orthodoxy required suppression of the deterioration, and many details were kept secret. But time has unlocked some of the confidences, and the authors combed the disparate evidence, some from archives available only after the collapse of Communism, to render their diagnosis.
Among the supporters of their conclusion is Deborah Hayden, author of ''Pox: Genius, Madness, and the Mysteries of Syphilis'' (Basic Books, 2003).
''A number of Lenin biographers have reported that the doctors attending him at his death suspected syphilis, but until this article no one has pulled the relevant information together in one place,'' Ms. Hayden wrote in an e-mail message. ''The authors argue convincingly that Lenin was suffering from meningovascular syphilis on his deathbed.''

HomeAbout UsHistory
In 1973, God burdened a young Dallas Theological Seminary graduate to start an evangelistic association to champion the gospel with a commitment to three distinctives:
Armed with a passion for the lost and a mandate from the Lord to share Christ, Larry Moyer created a simple method of sharing the gospel that anyone could learn. His "Bad News/Good News" method has become a trademark of the ministry and caused its impact to soar.
Throughout the 1980's, EvanTell's impact from crusades continued, but churches who were hungering to be evangelistic in their everyday walk asked Larry Moyer to capture his passion and message in a way that could be used anytime and anywhere. As a result, EvanTell developed the You Can Tell It! and You Can Preach It! Seminars which capture our three distinctives – sharing the gospel with clarity, scriptural accuracy, and from a grace perspective.
In the 1990's, the interest in EvanTell's clear and simple gospel approach continued to gain tremendous momentum. The ministry implemented a train-the-trainer multiplication model by certifying instructors to teach the You Can Tell It! Seminar. The new model began to boost EvanTell's reach exponentially and the ministry quickly became worldwide in scope with the publication and translation of the "May I Ask You a Question?" gospel tract.
During the early 2000's, Larry challenged the ministry's Board of Directors to help him ensure that the ministry would live well beyond him and to continue boldly declaring the gospel according to the core principles God burdened him with in 1973.
God has honored that request. Through the generous support of individuals, churches, and foundations who are committed to declaring the gospel through grace-filled methods and resources, the scope and impact of the ministry during the past decade has exploded.
And now, in-depth training seminars – live, DVD, and online – workbooks, tracts, and innovative evangelism resources are just a slice of EvanTell, yet these resources provide the fuel for the actual ministry that takes place all around the world.
EvanTell is training a constantly growing network of evangelism instructors, mentoring entire churches on church growth by conversion, and activating believers of all ages, walks, and cultures to boldly declare the gospel.

Tuning Our Response - Ability
By Kia Miller
Are we so caught up in to-do lists that we have lost the ability to respond to life with spontaneity and presence? I teach yoga and talk to people all day long about taking pauses and time out of time. However, this remains one of the most elusive things in our culture, which is addicted to HAVING and DOING. In fact we value Having and Doing more than simply Being. When was the last time you congratulated your friend for doing nothing? Or took some time with absolutely no agenda? If you did take time, how kind was your thinking process, did you judge yourself and feel lazy?
It is easy to get caught in the cycle of acting from our sense of responsibility rather than purely responding to what the moment brings. Our lives become a laundry list of things to do, to the point where we move onto automatic pilot. Life gets juicy and exciting when we realize that being responsible is not some task to perform or an obligation to be met. To me the ability to respond is to be free to love and serve in each situation, and therefore each moment is different and unique and wonderful.
On this day I encourage you to take a pause. Pause before speaking, before acting, or even pausing between your inhale and exhale. Do not take a moment for granted. Show up and meet the moment in the spirit of being of service with love.

#Practice Clarity
I recently took a break from my Manduka. It didn't do anything wrong. It didn't treat me badly, or not take me to expensive dinners. I was feeling burnt out, and found it very hard to be on my mat or in a yoga studio.
I remember being in relationships where my partner suggested we take a break. I would kick and scream, hearing that cliche "the break comes before the breakup" resonating in my ear.
Reluctantly, I took a couple of days off of my asana practice(the longest I had been off my mat in years.) I ate pizza, watched movies, and spent time with my loved ones. What I realized was that in several ways I was hiding from myself and my life off my black mat. I was resting in what had always felt comfortable for me, doing what was easy, not taking a risks. But just like in an asana, growth comes from stepping out of our comfort zone and moving towards our edge.
I am happily now back on my Manduka. We didn't break up, we just needed some space. Our time apart enabled me to embrace my life and practice with newfound passion and vision. I am more present in my life, and my practice is deeper than it was before. Taking a break isn't necessarily the end, but can be a new beginning. In the space, in those pauses in between, we can see more clearly and move forward powerfully.
My Manduka helps me #practice clarity. What does your Manduka help you #practice?
Here's how some others are powerfully #practicing:
"I #practice perseverance. I #practice moment to moment. I #practice service. I #practice Love. I #practice on my Manduka!"
"@MandukaYoga helps me practice stillness........"
"I make it a point to #practice poses that scare me."
Lisa Boise
"I laugh on it. I cry on it. I sweat on it. (Boy! Do I sweat on it!) I find peace on it. I work through anger and frustrations on it. On occasions I ignore it. I stretch on it. I pray on it. I jump on it. I use it and abuse it. And every time I step on it, I feel a welcoming energy from it. My soul can be free on my mat."
Stela Balaban
"The space created each time I unfold my Manduka becomes a safe place, a quiet place, a peaceful place, where there's no judgement and no expectations. And then the fun can begin."
"Dear Soul Mat, thank you for being so steady when I felt like breaking -you are my bestfriend."

#Practice 365 Golden Yogi Winner: Carrie Griffiths
I'm really trying to learn to listen to my body. In light of my ongoing hip issues, I forced myself to take a break. Two weeks later, the rest of me became restless and so I thought, maybe I just need to make some changes. At the suggestion of one of my teachers, I decided to take a restorative class. I'll admit I was hesitant; certain that it would be too easy and I would be bored. But I was pleasantly surprised to find that it wasn't and I wasn't. In fact, I found it to be rather blissful. The pain in my hip actually made a couple poses somewhat challenging and a bit uncomfortable, and I had to pull back even more. But once I was settled into a pose, I sort of just drifted away. It was as though I'd been transported to a far away land and everything around me disappeared. It was great. I could have stayed there forever. And these feelings stayed with me as I subtly shifted from pose to pose, a slight smile glued to my face.
What a nice balance this is for my practice. In my regular vinyasa practice, I will often resolve to breathe in the moment and relax a little, only to find myself pushing harder and getting lost in the details of a challenging pose. It's really difficult for me to take it easy, even when I know I need to. I know that there is more to yoga than a vigorous practice. I never thought that discovering the other facets of it all would start with a new class. I've begun going to restorative regularly, and I'm happy to say it's now an important part of my yoga practice.

"I opened this link in my blog reader: http://www.fitsugar.com/What-Best-Yoga-Mat-13852241?page=0%2C0%2C4#4 ... the description sounded perfect for me! I'm an exclusively-at-home yoga practitioner due to mobility issues and was looking for shock absorption. I bought the Black Mat Pro in Black Beauty - a gift from my husband for Valentine's day. His, "Please honey, buy it" was the best V-Day gift ever. He showed me how much my yoga practice mattered to him ♥ He also encouraged me to buy the color version rather than the black ... sometimes I have to struggle through pain and fatigue to make the choice to practice and he knew that the color would make me smile!"
Kim Puente
"It was SO not love at first sight. I had heard how much everyone loved the Manduka Pro, so I decided I would "try one out" to help me advance my practice. Rolled it out, and we had a "lunch date". Short and sweet. Too slippery. Read what I needed to do. So next was a "spa date" or a rub down with sea salt, lots of sea salt. Our love/hate relationship kept up about a week. I knew if I got to know my Manduka I would eventually fall in love. Which of course I did! One magical day all of the quirks worked out and I have seen my practice soar. Now instead of dreading our "dates" I count the time until the next one!"

#Practice Being Who You Are
I was blessed with the opportunity to see H.H the Dalai Lama in a lecture series this week. He is such a joyful, loving and truthful spirit! Regardless of the energy of the surrounding environment, there was never not a time where he was acting inauthentically or not speaking from his heart, mind and soul.
There wasn't any smoke or mirrors, or words minced. H.H wasn't afraid for others to see who He is, even when situations weren't going smoothly.
When we are willing to show ourselves fully and completely, we not only create a space for others to let down their guards and open their hearts, but we are also able to see ourselves in each other.
We're able to truly see that we are not really that different after all.. Separation lessens, and true fellowship is created.
I am #practicing being myself(warts and all). What does your Manduka help you practice?
Here's how others are #practicing authentically:
Ami Spencer
"Consistency. Finding a way to spend time going inside. Every. Single. Day."
From @MandukaYoga
"Bloom! Shedding the winter layers and finding the color underneath."
From @MandukaYoga
"You help me practice remembrance of my strength and the still space within!"
Patty Shine
"At my house we had a day of no TV, no video games, no radio. We spent time outside helping a neighbor with their garden.Some play time at the park. We did our best to have a relaxing yoga session though my 6 yr old son cannot "relax" for more than a minute so we called it jumping bean yoga. Though I didn't get my normal relaxed feeling from my yoga, I got that inner glow that only quality time enjoying my children can give."
Youngmee Ahn Hand
"Wash and hang all my laundry outside for the beautiful sun to dry aswell as sanitize my clothes without having to use energy from machines."
Jen Erickson Strating
"Composting all my veggie/fruit scraps, growing as many veggies as I can, biking or walking to do errands, getting my food locally through a wonderful CSA, being mindful and frugal with energy consumption and spending time in nature honoring this beautiful earth!"

Best: People Are Finally Doing Ryback Right
I was worried that Ryback would mire forever in those two-is-greater-than-one jobber squashes, or worse, he'd mire forever in that "beat up Reks and Hawkins but get attacked way too much during it" things that'd push him too far away from the Goldberg mystique he's seemed to naturally cultivate. I'm pleased to announce that I'm wrong, at least for the moment, and that both Raw and Smackdown made great strides in The Ryback as an Actual WWE Guy.
On Smackdown, he's got a thing going with Jinder Mahal where Mahal thinks he can beat up two nobodies too, and he CAN, because those nobodies are the worst, and statistically worse at wrestling than Alberto Del Rio's Hot Cops. I saw you back there as a phony police officer, Cowboy James Claxton, you can't fool me. On Raw, Ryback became AJ's other Teddy Long tribute, the "tough guy who beats up people who were rude to me". Where Teddy would bring out DA CELTIC WARRIAH, SHAMUS~! or RANDEH, ORTEN~!, AJ is using The Ryback. Kane used to be this guy, too. It's not a terrible place to be, because all those guys are former champions. If we see The Ryback winning the United States Championship in a hot Raw match where the crowd surfs Antonio Cesaro (or whoever) back to the ring to take his beating, we'll know we're on the right track.
Also, my heart gets warm whenever I hear the WWE Universe finally doing the FEED ME MORE chant. They still don't know how to handle his DONE or FINISH IT taunts (maybe they've never seen The Fountain), but at least they aren't leaving him hanging on the important part like they did with Edge and his spear.
Best: Heath Slater Is Back On Raw
Man, there's nothing greater than that honeymoon period when you get into a wrestler and get super excited whenever he shows up on TV. I'm in that with Damien Sandow, but no wrestler makes me happier just by showing up on Raw than Heath Slater. I love just typing his catchphrase, and I love that he's added a ridiculous air guitar pantomime to make it a thousand times worse. Cole helpfully explaining that he's the One Man Band because he "plays all the instruments" (and no other reason, not even attempting to apply a one man band concept to pro wrestling) was off the charts.
Worst: Probably The Most Nonchalant Victory Ever
You know it's sad when Michael Cole starts in with his "here's the cover, hook of the leg, shoulders down" thing and it actually ends the match.
You know that honeymoon period I was just talking about? R-Truth was the best character of Spring 2011, but the Summer of Punk came along and Truth went from exciting, nuanced sociopath to Miz's black friend who can't even win 2-on-1 handicap matches, and then into crowd pleasing sociopath who pats an invisible child on the head and it's kinda funny I guess, but it's not what it used to be. Truth used to be the guy who'd attack John Morrison backstage, then get LEGITIMATELY SURPRISED when he circled back around to find John Morrison injured. That's the Truth I want. This Truth just hits a couple of clotheslines and Rock Bottoms himself and picks up the win, and the crowd sits on their hands.
The beginning of that paragraph was originally "nobody has ended their honeymoon quite as quickly as R-Truth", but then I remembered that Brodus Clay exists.
Worst: Shawn Michaels And Roddy Piper, The Backstage Elderly
I'm not sure what was going on when we jumped backstage to Roddy Piper doing a weird Death Of A Salesman thing about not understanding Twitter, and it wasn't made any better when we panned to the right to find Shawn Michaels lost in a dream (somewhere between his brain and his right eyeball), wondering where Triple H was. It was that joke about Triple H being Poochie from 'The Itchy & Scratchy Show' brought to life — when Triple H wasn't on screen, the other characters were asking, "where's Triple H?"
I've been trying to figure out what's been bugging me since Raw 1000, and I think I've finally figured it out. You know how in real life, wrestlers get brain damage and their bodies fall apart and the people they love die, so they end up like Iron Sheik, just kinda cussing at open spaces in front of him so people will laugh at him, because being laughed at is better than being ignored and forgotten? That's what WWE is doing with their legends now. Instead of being these larger than life figures from the past who were tougher than tough, they're comedy guys who show up to yell HEY REMEMBER ME I'M TATANKA before somebody pies them in the face. I … don't really love it. Piper's still got a great mind for wrestling, so let's not waste him on Mae Young-level old folks jokes.
Best: Mark Henry With Olympians
Most adorable Raw moment goes to Mark Henry (not a sentence you type a lot) for his Tout-package about visiting London and taking mark photos with U.S. Olympians. Mark is the greatest, even hurt, and watching him grin while people pretend to karate kick him in the head is the best. Get well soon, Mizark, I've got like 50 Bests archived and ready to give you for doing basically anything.
Worst: Stay Off The Internet During Tensai Vs. Sin Cara
The match itself wasn't terrible (it was only a minute long … unless Jackie Gayda's under that Sin Cara hood, you can only be so bad in a minute), but there's no Internet I want to be a part of less than the one reacting to a
Lord Tensai versus Sin Cara match on Raw.
One side can't stop making jokes about Sin Cara botching everything. The other can't stop talking about how stupid and boring Albert's been for more or less this entire WWE run. It's a guy who had his trampoline taken away versus a guy who had his spit hand taken away. It's a guy who takes his time and makes sure to hit his video game moves against a guy whose only remaining role on the show is to lose to little guys and go WHAT ARGHHH WHAT. Somewhere along the line Sin Cara became a Diva, and Tensai became a fat, racist Jack Swagger. The reason I don't want to hear about it is because everyone saying this is COMPLETELY RIGHT, and because both "Diva Sin Cara" and "fat, racist Jack Swagger" would be amazing wrestling characters.

The 29-year-old Gossip singer ' who broke up with her long-term partner Freddie after nine years together in January ' admits she and her new girlfriend Kristen have discussed starting a family in the future and she is already planning to seek medical advice as soon as her new clothing line for UK plus-size retailer Evans is released.
She said: 'I want to do it when I'm 37. But I do want to go to the doctor in the next year and star taking it really seriously.
'Once these clothing lines are out I can take space and think about the baby.'
Beth admits she was close to Kristin ' who is also her assistant ' before ending her relationship with transgender Freddie, but insists she never cheated on her former partner.
She told Britain's Marie Claire magazine: 'It was something that I kept hidden deep inside of me. But everyone knew. Even people are parties and clubs would be like, 'When are they going to get together?' There was always a little guilt inside of me because I felt I was cheating, but I never cheated. We never did anything.
'I dated Freddie for nine years, and I was always worried it was going to end. With Kristin I never worry about it ending, I just feel completely full and whole.'

These proposals were passed by Mexico's Chamber of Deputies in October 2013—read TaxNewsFlash Transfer Pricing: Mexico - Proposed transfer pricing changes for related-party transactions, maquiladoras—and then passed by the Senate in early November 2013.
Under the new legislation, payments made to a foreign company that controls or is controlled by the taxpayer will not be deductible when these payments are made with respect to interest, royalties or technical assistance, and when the foreign company that receives said payments is considered to be "transparent" and its participants do not pay tax on this income.
"Control" is defined with reference to parties that have direct or indirect influence to decide when dividends are paid.
Also, payments that are considered as "non-existent" by the payment recipient or payments not considered to be taxable income by a foreign entity also will not be deductible.
Non-deductible expenses also include payments that are made by a resident in Mexico and that, in turn, are deducted by a related-party resident or nonresident in Mexico. This restriction does not apply when the related party that deducts the payment made by the taxpayer accrues income earned by the taxpayer in the same tax year or the next tax year.
These proposals are based on the OECD project to combat base erosion and profit shifting (BEPS).
The OECD in July 2013 proposed an action plan which would require changes to tax legislation by the OECD member countries, including anti-abuse laws. Specifically, member countries need to introduce measures to counteract the effect of hybrid instruments and entities and also not allow deduction of payments that are not taxable to the recipient of the payment of for which the deduction of payment is claimed by related parties.
The legislation includes requirements for maquiladorasto comply with the provisions regarding transfer pricing. For these purposes, only two transfer pricing methods for maquiladorasare permitted:
