New Government prepares the scene for Brexit
As has been widely reported, the Prime Minister, Theresa May, has been appointing the members of her Government, including Philip Hammond as Chancellor of the Exchequer. David Gauke has been promoted to Chief Secretary to the Treasury and his old job of Financial Secretary to the Treasury, with responsibility for HMRC, has been taken by Jane Ellison. To date, we have not heard any indication that taxation policy will change, notwithstanding the suggestion by the former Chancellor, George Osborne, that, following Brexit, he would cut the rate of corporation tax.
The new Chancellor, Mr Hammond, has stated that he will not be presenting an emergency budget, contrary to the comments by Mr Osborne during the referendum campaign. Instead, he will unveil his plans at the Autumn Statement which, in recent years has taken place in late November or early December (with draft Finance Bill clauses published a week or two later). No date for this year's Autumn Statement has been announced, although the Government is required in normal circumstances to give the Office of Budget Responsibility ten weeks' notice so it can provide financial forecasts. This suggests that it cannot take place before Parliament returns from the party conferences recess on 10 October.
Meanwhile, at a court hearing yesterday, 19 July 2016, the Government was challenged on whether it needed to involve Parliament in the decision to activate Article 50 to formally start the process of leaving the EU. Our law alert considers Article 50 and a number of the important legal questions raised by Brexit, including:
• The legal framework under which the UK will withdraw from the EU
• The legal framework which will govern the UK's relationship with the EU after exit
• The task of identifying the impact on UK law once EU law ceases to apply
Upper Tribunal upholds HMRC appeal that loss streaming applies when two trades are combined
In the case of Leekes, the Upper Tribunal has allowed HMRC's appeal against a decision by the First-tier Tribunal. The taxpayer, which runs department stores, purchased a lossmaking company with a similar trade and then hived that trade up to combine it with its own operations.
The trade from the purchased company had given rise to trading losses brought forward and the Tribunal was asked to consider whether these losses could be used against profits from the taxpayer's existing trade, or whether the losses were to be streamed so that they could only be used against profits generated from the trade that was hived up.
The First-tier Tribunal had decided the case hinged on the interpretation of the statute that provided for losses of a trade to be preserved when it was transferred to another company under common ownership. It found the legislation did not specifically require streaming, and that streaming presented practical difficulties and was at variance with commercial reality. The Upper Tribunal disagreed. Allowing HMRC's appeal, the Upper Tribunal found that there was "no real room for doubt" that the legislation did require streaming. It said that the purpose of the legislation was to allow the losses from the lossmaking trade to continue to be used against future profits from that trade. It was not the intention that the losses could be used against profits of a different trade.
The Upper Tribunal also rejected the arguments on commerciality and stated that it is not permissible to disregard the words of statute because of a perceived practical difficulty.
This decision, unless reversed on appeal, restores the position on loss streaming to the long-established practice of HMRC.
New VAT use and enjoyment provisions introduced for insurance repair services
New use and enjoyment legislation has been laid before the House of Commons in relation to the VAT treatment of repair services supplied to insurers located outside the EU. Currently, most repair services are taxed according to the location of the contracting insurer and not the insured. This means that where an insurer is based outside the EU, it does not incur (irrecoverable) VAT on its repair services, unlike domestic insurers. This provides non-EU insurers with a competitive advantage. With effect from 1 October 2016, this will no longer be the case as such services will be subject to UK VAT where their 'effective use' is deemed to be in the UK. Typically, this means that services will be taxed in the UK where the insured party is UK-based. The new provisions will not affect repair services which are provided directly to the insured party; only repair services supplied directly to the insurer.
This measure was first announced at Summer Budget 2015 and was followed by an HMRC consultation on a draft version of the legislation during January and February 2016. At Summer Budget 2015, the Government also announced that it would consider a wider review of off-shore based avoidance in VAT-exempt sectors, with a view to introducing additional VAT use and enjoyment measures for services such as advertising in 2017.
Any offshore insurers with UK insured parties may wish to consider the commercial, tax and pricing implications of the change.
Other UK developments
Finance Bill 2016 Royal Assent officially confirmed to be after summer recess
It has been announced that the report stage of Finance Bill 2016, where the amendments agreed in committee are considered by the whole House of Commons and additional amendments can be made, will take place on 5 September 2016. The third reading of the Bill will follow the report stage and, since it is the last occasion it can be amended, is also the date on which the Bill is substantively enacted for UK GAAP and IFRS purposes. It is not yet known whether the Government will look to push for Royal Assent before the party conference season starts on 15 September or whether Royal Asset will be left for the week when Parliament returns on 10 October (Royal Assent needs to take place by 16 October).
A new version of Finance Bill 2016, which includes all the new clauses and amendments agreed at the committee stage, has been released.

International developments
EU anti-tax avoidance directive to enter into force from 8 August 2016
The EU anti-tax avoidance directive has been published in the Official Journal of the European Union and will enter into force 20 days afterwards, being 8 August 2016. The directive was adopted at last week's meeting of ECOFIN.
The directive must be incorporated into domestic law by Member States by 31 December 2018 and apply from 1 January 2019, with a derogation for the following:
• The rule on exit taxation (which taxes assets transferred across borders) must be adopted by 31 December 2019 and apply from 1 January 2020
• The implementation of the interest deductibility restrictions can be delayed until the publication of any OECD minimum standards under BEPS Action 4, but only for Member States with national targeted rules in force on 8 August 2016 equal in effectiveness to the restrictions in the directive, and no later than 1 January 2024
• Estonia also has a derogation from aspects of the exit taxation rule
As the directive is binding on the UK until it leaves the EU, the UK Government will need to consider whether the existing legislation in areas covered by the directive is compatible with it.
European Court decides VAT on branch support costs is recoverable
The Court of Justice of the European Union has issued a decision by way of an order in the Polish case of ESET spol. s r.o.. The case focuses on a business's ability to recover VAT on global and branch support costs. The taxpayer, an entity established in Slovakia, received services from its Polish branch. The branch provided software services which were incorporated into products that were marketed and sold by the Slovakian head office. The branch also made a number of 'occasional' supplies in Poland which carried a right to recover VAT on related costs. The branch sought to recover local VAT it incurred in providing its branch-to-branch supplies, recovering VAT in full on the basis that the head office made only taxable supplies. The Polish tax authorities rejected the branch's claim on the basis that its intra-entity flows were disregarded for VAT purposes.
The Court held that a taxable person located in Member State A (e.g. Poland) which makes supplies in another Member State (e.g. Slovakia) should be entitled to recover VAT on related costs in Member State A. This right exists even though those costs only contribute to supplies made in a different Member State. The Court also confirmed that this right exists where those supplies, if carried out locally, would have given rise to VAT recovery.
Given the lack of standard EU practice around branch and global support cost recovery, large financial institutions which operate via complex branch networks may wish to review the impact of the decision. UK businesses in the process of agreeing a new partial exemption special method may also wish to consider whether this case affects ongoing negotiations.
Our tax alert provides further details.
South Africa introduces tax on sugar sweetened beverages
In his February 2016 Budget Speech, the South African Minister of Finance announced a decision to introduce a tax on sugar sweetened beverages with effect from 1 April 2017. On 8 July 2016, the National Treasury of South Africa published a policy paper and proposals on the taxation of sugar sweetened beverages for public comment. Comments are required to be submitted by 22 August 2016.
The introduction of the tax is an attempt to reduce the number of people in South Africa who are obese or overweight by 2020. Earlier this year, the UK also announced the introduction of a new soft drinks industry levy, which is planned for 2018. It will be interesting to see which other countries introduce a similar levy in the coming years.
Our global tax alert summarises the rationale behind the tax, its scope, the proposed method of taxation and administration of the tax.
Other global tax alerts
Please see links to a selection of our tax alerts in respect of the following developments. Additional articles are available in our global tax alert library.
South Africa: The National Treasury has published draft amendments to the anti-hybrid rules that are likely to affect a wide range of transactions.
Netherlands: The Dutch Supreme Court has requested a ruling from the European Court on granting benefits under the fiscal unity regime in cross border situations, potentially changing the current position.
Portugal: The European Court has found that the denial by Portugal of a deduction for expenses for non-resident financial institutions when calculating their withholding tax liability is unlawful.
Hungary: The new intellectual property (IP) regime, allowing a 50% deduction from qualifying income, applies from 30 June 2016, subject to grandfathering of existing IP until 30 June 2021.

- Operating in a shifting tax landscape
The global tax landscape continues to change in a dramatic fashion, with near-constant news hitting the headlines regarding shifting tax policy, increasing levels of enforcement and the growing potential of reputational risk.
Competing priorities
Multinational companies now have to balance more competing priorities than ever before, ensuring they protect their business by monitoring and responding to changes in policy, legislation and tax enforcement, while at the same time ensuring they not only maintain the highest levels of compliance but also add value from the tax function.
Governments work to secure each tax dollar they're due
From a policy perspective, all governments want their country to be viewed as an attractive place to do business, to attract jobs and capital in an increasingly competitive globalized arena.
At the same time, they want to increase the amount of revenue they bring in. Governments are treading a fine line, constantly assessing how to secure the tax revenues they see as rightly theirs, while at the same time being in direct competition with other nations, making sure they do not scare off mobile capital.
Tax administrations for their part are adapting their enforcement strategies, focus and policies in response to the changing dynamics of business. They are working to ensure that their resources are being applied to the right issues and taxpayers. They share more leading practices and taxpayer information with their foreign counterparts, to help them collect every dollar due.
Disputes are on the rise
The result has been more frequent, complex and higher value disputes between taxpayers and taxing authorities — a trend that is only increasing as countries collaborate together and as emerging markets gain in stature and influence, taking a more sophisticated approach to taxation. Penalties are becoming more stringent and the threat of reputational risk has risen significantly in recent months.
We can help you to navigate a route through this complex landscape.
We can help you monitor and react to quickly-changing tax policy and assess the economic and fiscal impact.
Where tax policies might create an impediment to your business that is unintended by policy makers, we can help you to collaborate – either solely, or as part of a broader grouping of companies who share a common objective – with government to:
- Explain the impediment
- Develop alternative policy choices which are logical and well thought out
- Model the potential outcomes
- Deliver an alternative choice to the government in a form with which policy makers can comfortably work
We also help you address your global tax controversy, enforcement and disclosure needs.
We focus on pre-filing controversy management to help you properly and consistently file your returns and prepare the relevant back-up documentation.
Where a controversy has already occurred, our professionals leverage the network's collective knowledge of how tax authorities operate, and increasingly work together, to help resolve difficult or sensitive tax disputes. To ensure that continuous performance improvements are instigated after a controversy, we work with EY's other tax professionals to ensure that similar events are less likely to occur.
Below you can access our views and analysis of some of the substantial policy and enforcement trends and issues at play today.

- Seizing the opportunity in Global Compliance and Reporting
Global Compliance and Reporting (GCR) is at a tipping point, with risks on the rise. Many companies distribute responsibility for GCR processes throughout their organization, creating a patchwork. Local jurisdictions are rewriting regulations, focusing more intently on the collection of tax revenues and sharing more taxpayer information across borders.
Due to the combination of evolving business models, transforming finance functions and an increasingly complex regulatory landscape, there are new opportunities to better optimize efficiency, control and value, to help mitigate risk and improve performance.
What is Global Compliance and Reporting?
GCR comprises the key elements of a company's finance and tax processes that prepare statutory financial and tax filings as required in countries around the world. These duties include:
- Statutory accounting and reporting
- Tax accounting and provisions
- Income tax compliance
- Indirect tax compliance
- Governance and control of the above processes
GCR activities reside in the middle of a broader set of record-to-report (R2R) processes. R2R is the intersection between any company's finance and tax departments and is used to capture, process and store information that is essential to statutory accounting, tax compliance and reporting. Any change to R2R processes, information, finance systems, roles and responsibilities will have a direct impact on GCR processes.
Helping you meet the new GCR demands
Fast changing compliance and reporting requirements are more demanding on tax and finance functions today than ever before. So how do you improve control and quality, manage risk, create efficiency and drive value?
Our market-leading approach combines standard and efficient processes, highly effective tools and an extensive network of local tax and accounting subject matter professionals.

- Building effective supply chains
As multinational companies seek to reach new markets and compete more effectively in mature markets, they are adapting and differentiating their supply chains. Companies' operating models need to cater for efficiency and scale in mature markets, while having the flexibility and local ability to support growth in emerging markets. Consequently, driving true shareholder value requires an operating model that combines global and regionally differentiated processes, and integrates these with local striking power and operational excellence.
Leading companies recognize the need for integrating tax in their business planning and decision processes
Whether companies seek to enter new markets or drive efficiencies in mature markets, leading companies understand the complexities of the international tax systems. The impact of both direct taxes and indirect taxes needs to be carefully considered and integrated to drive the effectiveness of the operating model while complying with all applicable local and international tax laws and effectively manage all tax risks. Operating model effectiveness is becoming one of the cornerstones of successful competition and differentiation.
Our approach
The EY TESCM offering helps ensure you do just that. Our advisory and tax professionals operate as one team to assist our clients with developing and implementing operating model optimization where business needs and requirements are the driver while making sure that tax is an integrated part of the design of the operating model architecture.
- Managing mobile workforce risk
In today's globally integrated, tightly regulated and increasingly competitive business environment, one critical success factor stands out: people. It's no wonder that leading companies are focusing their efforts on:
- Attracting and retaining the right people
- Global talent deployment and mobility
- HR and payroll effectiveness
- Risk, governance and compliance
Managing the risks of mobile employees
While optimizing the competitive advantage of your people has long been a core objective, a more recent set of trends in the tax landscape means that large companies with an internationally mobile workforce are at a higher risk of tax noncompliance and resulting controversy than ever before.
Fortunately, an increasing number of organizations are currently either planning or embracing a wider process of change for their mobility teams.
Unintended tax compliance obligations
These travelers are increasingly creating unintended tax compliance obligations, and the resulting risks are not just personal. They are felt at the corporate level, with the corporate tax function often unaware of the extent of the spreading problem. Tax administrations are becoming increasingly aware of the issue, however, and are very effectively using new technology to identify where a tax obligation has arisen. In a rising tax enforcement landscape, this issue has significant potential to grow.
Managing these risks should be a burning platform issue for multinational companies.
Will your tax risks prompt a tax audit?
What may start as a relatively simple personal income tax compliance issue can quickly create a ripple effect, with risks such as the creation of a permanent establishment, an employment tax audit or the payment of a significant related penalty all occurring at the corporate level.
Companies, recognizing the spectrum of reputational, personal and financial risks related to tax, are making strong efforts to be compliant. There is an increasing acceptance that such issues are becoming increasingly urgent from both a reputational and a financial perspective.
How we are helping companies
Our Human Capital network embeds processes and technology that will help companies to identify and manage short-term business traveler-related risks before they occur. Where controversy has already arisen, our global Tax Controversy network can use our insights into the culture and processes and relationships with each key tax administration to remediate issues. With prior year issues being rapidly unearthed, and with tax administrations focusing on this issue more than ever before, the time to act is now.

Academic Advising
The general sequence of courses in Economics is as follows: theory, then application; theory, then application. Students first take ECN 111 followed by an applied course from ECN 205-250; then students take the intermediate theory and econometrics courses ECN 280, 282. and 286 followed by at least one advanced analysis class (ECN 300-349) and then two applied senior seminars (ECN 350-399). Students need to be sure to take the required prerequisites, including math courses, as needed (see below).
Computer Science
The Department of Computer Science collaborates with the Department of Mathematics and Statistics to send each incoming student a letter, "Tentative Placement in Mathematics and Computer Science". Students will typically start in CSC 151, which requires no prior experience. Even though CSC 151 requires no prior experience, and the majority of students who take CSC 151 have no prior experience, we also recommend CSC 151 for students with prior background in computer science or experience in computer programming, because the material will be new to most students.
All entering students who have previously studied Ancient Greek or Latin will receive placement recommendations from the department. Any student wishing to enroll in 300-level Latin must take a Placement Test during New Student Orientation (it is not administered at any other time). Placements are our best guess, known to be fallible, subject to discussion, explanation, negotiation.
The Biology, Chemistry and Biological Chemistry majors are designed so that a student does not need to choose among them until registration for the fourth semester. Consult the previous sections on Biology and Biological Chemistry for more information. Students with AP/IB credit who plan to take organic chemistry (CHM221) in the second year must take CHM 210 their first year.
Biological Chemistry
The Biology, Chemistry, and Biological Chemistry majors are designed so that a student does not need to choose among them until registration for the fourth semester. Entering students who are deciding among these three majors should take BIO 150 and CHM 129 (General Chemistry) during the first year-one course in the fall and one course in the spring.

Boring band name, boring title, and boring songs that add up to a pretty boring release on the Junk record label. The onslaught of new "rawk" bands is starting to take its toll on the eardrums of listeners, who would rather hear it done right once than multiple times under a bed of lettuce and mediocrity. It makes one yearn for a time before it was so easy to put out a record, when bands worked hard for that loyal following, pressing of a 45, and play on the local AM station.
Believe it or not, it's increasingly difficult to pull off straight up rock 'n' roll these days—take it from Seaweed, one of the few acts out there who still crank out quality rock 'n' roll devoid of pretension and phony black jacket imagery. Hell, even a band like Night Ranger could kick these guys' asses (Just listen to "(You Can Still) Rock in America" from 1983's Midnight Madness, if you want "loud fast rules!"). The only credit this band receives from this critic is that they name drop Michael Monroe in their liner notes, who apparently provided them with the albums anthemic title. Which goes to show that you should always listen to your elders.

Publisher's Description
While some seek so-called lost gospels, Darrell L. Bock suggests the real lost gospel is the one already found in the Bible and reminds everyone of what it means: good news.
Praise for Recovering the Real Lost Gospel
"Darrell Bock is one of the church's finest New Testament scholars. He has the unique ability to write on both the technical and popular level and presents a biblical theology of the gospel that is clear, robust, and holistic. This is a valuable contribution to helping us rightly understand the greatness of the gospel."
Daniel L. Akin, president, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary
"You are holding in your hands a really rare book--one that goes all the way back to the New Testament in connecting the gospel and the cross with the life of discipleship and the mission of the church in a broken world that needs the message of grace. Darrell Bock is one of our best biblical theologians and is at his best in this new study."
Timothy George, dean, Beeson Divinity School, Samford University
"Recovering the Real Lost Gospel is a welcomed corrective and timely guide for so many individuals and churches who seemingly have lost their way amidst the confusing spirituality and mixed religious messages of our day."
David S. Dockery, president, Union University
"Bock teaches us the essence of the best news ever told. The gospel is so much more than good advice . . . it is the message of life, hope, grace, and Jesus himself! Get ready to be reminded why it is the best news ever!"
Pete Briscoe, senior pastor, Bent Tree Bible Fellowship (Dallas, Texas)
"Too many Christians think of 'the Gospel' as merely the last page of an evangelistic tract. Bock demonstrates with clarity and vision that the gospel is better news than some have dared to hope. Read this book, and let its wisdom drive you to worship and to mission."
Russell D. Moore, dean, School of Theology, The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary
Author Bio
Darrell L. Bock is research professor of New Testament Studies and professor of Spiritual Development and Culture at Dallas Theological Seminary, a New York Times best-selling author, and a corresponding editor at large for Christianity Today magazine.

Hi there,
I'm a total n00b when it comes to PHP, so you'll have to pardon my ignorance. I have a basic foundation in javascript/html/css/jquery so I'm not completely uninitiated Essentially what I want to do is implement the following script:
I will have a page with an html form, one text field and a submit button. I'm guessing that I need to save the above script to a PHP file, and set that file as the action for the submit button in the html form. The problem is - how do I return the filtered results to the next page?PHP Code:
// BadWordFilter
// This function does all the work. If $replace is 1 it will replace all bad words
// with the wildcard replacements. If $replace is 0 it will not replace anything.
// In either case, it will return 1 if it found bad words or 0 otherwise.
// Be sure to fill the $bads array with the bad words you want filtered.
FUNCTION BadWordFilter(&$text, $replace){
// fill this array with the bad words you want to filter and their replacements
$bads = ARRAY (
IF($replace==1) { //we are replacing
$remember = $text;
FOR($i=0;$i<sizeof($bads);$i++) { //go through each bad word
$text = EREGI_REPLACE($bads[$i][0],$bads[$i][1],$text); //replace it
IF($remember!=$text) RETURN 1; //if there are any changes, return 1
} ELSE { //we are just checking
FOR($i=0;$i<sizeof($bads);$i++) { //go through each bad word
IF(EREGI($bads[$i][0],$text)) RETURN 1; //if we find any, return 1
// this will replace all bad words with their replacements. $any is 1 if it found any
$any = BadWordFilter($wordsToFilter,1);
// this will not repace any bad words. $any is 1 if it found any
$any = BadWordFilter($wordsToFilter,0);
Any thoughts?

Tastes great! Very easy to make! I started it at 300-350 degrees so I didn't have to wait so long. The results were still delicious! My family loved it! This recipe has gotten rave reviews from a lot of people who've tried it.
186 people want to try | 499 have favorited
Preheat oven to 200 degrees.
Wash chicken.
Dry thoroughly.
Coat chicken with flour seasoned with garlic salt, paprika and ginger.
Arrange chicken skin side up in a single layer in baking pan.
Roast, uncovered, for 1 hour.
Drain. Mix other ingredients in a pot over a low flame. Pour over baked chicken when sugar has suitably melted. Bake for another 2 hours at 250 degrees or until chicken is done and delicously glazed.
Basting and turning at least once will ensure an evenly coated glaze.

Jhall23 3y agoSo good! Going into my regular rotation. Love when I find a new chicken recipe. Served it with rice and broccoli. The sauce went yummy over it all. I also cooked it as a previous reviewer said. 25 min then about 15 min basting often.
susan293 3y ago
1Chefarmiller 4y agoThis is a family favorite. Chicken is very tender. Sauce was delicious!
Brocantes 5y agoYum! The only thing I did different was to place the chicken under the broiler for 10-15 minutes at the end. Definitely will cook this again!
dwskeels 6y agoSubstituted sherry for water, which added a flavor complexity that my family loved. We'll have this frequently.
Monique1978 6y agoThis is my families all time favorite chicken dish! I serve the chicken on the side and we spoon the sauce over wild rice. We love the sweet flavor and it keeps the meat very moist and tender. This is also excellent with boneless pork chops!
Difeng 7y ago[I made edits to this recipe.]
hystad52 7y agovery sweet, i lined the bottom of a glass baking pan with slices of white onions and served the onions on top. great! i would suggest adding some dried whole red peppers to cook with the sauce, it needs to be spicy, and i suggest searing the outside of the chicken then bake it, this gives it a nice texture combination while searing in the juices.
cogramma 7y agoI cooked this tonight and I made another slight modification and it turned out great! I replaced the Soy Sauce with Honey Teriyaki Marinade and my husband loved it!!!
cogramma 7y agoThis recipe was excellent! I made a few changes though. I used a glass baking dish coated with non-stick cooking spray. I increased temp to 350 and cooked chicken breasts for 25 min and 10 min. so it wouldn't be too dry. I basted the chicken with the glaze 4 times (turning the chicken over each time). I also added crushed red pepper to the sauce to spice it up a bit. I only used 2 chicken breasts so I cut the cooking time way back. This is a recipe I will definitely try over and over again!! Thanks so much to the poster... It's delicious!!

We arrived at Lake Tahoe late and made this reservation by cell phone. Check-in was fine. When we walked into the room, even though the room was supposedly a non-smoking room, the smoky/musty smell overwhelmed us. The carpet was filthy. Very dated decor. Judging from the smell, the bed coverings had not been cleaned in a long time. Because the sheets were not fitted, they fell off the beds to reveal filthy, torn mattresses. Fortunately, the bathroom/shower appeared clean. We left as early as possible the following morning; the construction noise made sleeping impossible. Of course, Days Inn could do nothing about the construction. We would not recommend this Days Inn.

Seabourn Odyssey Cruise Review by Fleetcat: Superb ... but....
Overall Member Rating
Superb ... but....
Destination: Europe - Western Mediterranean
Embarkation: Venice
This was our second Seabourn Odyssey cruise in quite quick succession. We did Athens to Rome in November and had the most amazing time. So when we saw a Venice to Athens trip with ports we had never visited we decided to hop on.
In some ways we were doomed to disappointment as the first cruise had hit every mark however in fact only one thing really let us down. On our first cruise we enjoyed a peaceful breakfast and a long, relaxed lunch in the main restaurant. On the second one it was only open for dinner leaving us with the Colonnade as the main option for these meals. We hate buffets with a passion and dislike being crowded or in competition for a table. In fairness you could order at the table but it lacked the personal service of the main restaurant. Also the restaurant is just a bit too small with very limited tables for two. This was exacerbated by it being a little chilly some days rendering the delightful outside dining space suitable only for the hearty. More
Other than that I really can't fault Seabourn but I will check about the restaurant before booking again. Less

U.S. Pat. No. 3,681,102 disclosed the production of transparent glass-ceramic articles wherein the zinc spinel gahnite (ZnO.Al2 O3) constituted the predominant crystal phase. That patent described the preparation of such articles as involving three general steps: first, a glass forming batch consisting essentially, expressed in terms of weight percent on the oxide basis, of about 2-20% ZnO, 8-25% Al2 O3, 55-75% SiO2, and 2-12% ZrO2 as the nucleating agent was melted at 1650�-1800� C; second, that melt was cooled to a temperature below the transformation range thereof and simultaneously a glass body of a desired configuration was shaped therefrom; and, third, that glass body was exposed to a temperature between about 975�-1250� C. for a sufficient length of time to cause the development of nuclei and the subsequent growth of gahnite crystals on those nuclei. (The transformation range has been defined as the temperature at which a liquid melt is deemed to have become a vitreous solid, that temperature generally being considered as residing in the vicinity of the annealing point of the glass.)
The crystals were described as having diameters less than 1000Å and as comprising between 20-50% by weight of the articles; the residual glassy matrix having a highly siliceous content. The final products were stated to exhibit linear coefficients of thermal expansion (25�-300� C.) ranging between about 25-40�10-7 /� C., and to maintain their transparency for extended periods of exposure at temperatures up to 1000� C. and for brief intervals at 1200� C.
The patent also disclosed the incorporation of 0.01-1.0% Cr2 O3 into the base compositions to produce Cr2 O3 -doped gahnite crystals, thereby imparting red photoluminescence to the glass-ceramics. The inclusion of Cr2 O3 did not adversely affect the transparency or other physical properties of the products.
As optional additional ingredients, the patent observed the use of up to 5% MgO, up to 10% total of BaO, CaO, SrO, K2 O, Rb2 O, and Cs2 O, and up to 5% total of Li2 O, Na2 O, B2 O3, and TiO2. The working examples, however, contained only MgO as an optional addition.
The present invention had its basis in U.S. Pat. No. 3,681,102 and is an improvement upon the products of that disclosure. Thus, the present invention is founded in the discovery that transparent glass-ceramic articles containing gahnite as the predominant crystal phase, but exhibiting much improved physical properties, can be prepared from a narrow range of compositions within the R2 O-ZnO-Al2 O3 -SiO2 system, wherein R2 O consists of K2 O and/or Rb2 O and/or Cs2 O, which are nucleated with TiO2. To illustrate:
The precursor glass forming batches for the present glass-ceramics can be melted at lower temperatures, viz., about 1600� C. Such lower melting temperatures provide two significant advantages. First, conventional, large scale commercial glass melting tanks may be employed. Second, the energy cost for melting the batch is significantly reduced.
The instant glass-ceramics also demonstrate greater refractoriness, as is evidenced by their retention of transparency after extended periods of exposure to temperatures up to 1100� C. That increased refractoriness is believed to be due to two factors: first, the crystal content developed in the inventive glass-ceramics can exceed 50%, with a consequent decrease in the proportion of residual glassy phase; and, second, the crystals are exceedingly small, with diameters of less than about 300Å, normally only about 100-200Å, such that grain growth of those crystals must be quite considerable before haze resulting from light diffusion becomes substantial.
The increased crystal content can also give rise to bodies exhibiting improved flexural strength.
Also, in like manner to the products of U.S. Pat. No. 3,681,102, the compositions of the present invention can be doped with Cr2 O3 to yield glass-ceramics which absorb ultraviolet radiation and fluoresce in the red and near infrared regions of the spectrum. Such capability has suggested applications for the inventive glass-ceramics in tunable lasers and in solar collectors.
Because of the high efficiency of TiO2 as a nucleating agent, compositions operable for preparing glass-ceramic bodies containing gahnite as virtually the sole crystal phase and exhibiting the transparency and the physical properties desired in the inventive products must be essentially free of Li2 O, Na2 O, CaO, SrO, and BaO in order to avoid the development of other crystal phases during heat treatment of the precursor glass body. With care, minor amounts of MgO, perhaps up to 2% by weight, may be included to enter the gahnite crystal structure so as to produce a zinc spinel solid solution (ZnO, MgO). Al2 O3 comprising up to 20 mole percent MgO, while still maintaining transparency in the crystallized bodies. Nevertheless, the inclusion of MgO does not appear to improve the physical properties demonstrated by the glass-ceramics, and its presence hazards the development of such unwanted silicate phases as 7/8-quartz solid solutions which impair transparency. Therefore, its essential absence is generally preferred.
In summary, compositions operable in the present invention to produce transparent glass-ceramic articles containing gahnite as essentially the sole crystal phase consist essentially, expressed in terms of weight percent on the oxide basis, of about 1.5-5% R2 O, consisting of 0-3% K2 O+O-3% Rb2 O+O-3% Cs2 O, 13-22% ZnO, 16-28% Al2 O3, 45-65% SiO2, and 1.5-8% TiO2 as the nucleating agent. The presence of K2 O and/or Rb2 O and/or Cs2 O is essential to obtaining transparency in the crystalline body. The use of Rb2 O and/or Cs2 O instead of K2 O yields products demonstrating better electrical properties, since their larger ionic size more effectively inhibits their migration through the residual glass. Minor amounts of ZrO2 may be included in the compositions without adversely affecting the properties of the crystallized products. Nonetheless, its inclusion is unnecessary as a nucleating agent inasmuch as TiO2 is a much more efficient agent. Moreover, ZrO.sub. 2 is much less soluble than TiO2 in the glass melt; hence, its presence hazards unmelted particles and/or devitrification in the glass and requires higher melting temperatures. Finally, ZrO2 frequently contains trace amounts of the radioactive element thorium. The presence of that element limits the applications in which the products can be employed. The inventive glass-ceramics can be greater than 50% by volume crystalline and exhibit linear coefficients of thermal expansion (0�-300� C.) between about 30-50�10-7 /� C. Such a range of thermal expansion enables products to be prepared which match the thermal expansion of silicon, thereby recommending their utility as a substrate for the active matrix in liquid crystal displays and for integrated circuit packaging.
The inventive articles are produced in accordance with the following three general steps: (1) a glass forming batch for a glass having a composition within the above-cited ranges of components is melted; (2) that melt is cooled to a temperature at least below the transformation range thereof and simultaneously a glass article of a desired configuration is shaped therefrom; and (3) that glass article is exposed to a temperature within the interval of 900�-1100� C. for a period of time sufficient to cause the growth of gahnite crystals in situ. To insure the development of very fine-grained crystals of uniform dimensions, i.e., having diameters of less than 300Å, a two-stage heat treatment of the glass article may be employed. Such practice contemplates initially subjecting the glass article to a temperature within or slightly above the transformation range (about 775�-825� C.) for a sufficient period of time to generate a myriad of nuclei therein. The nucleated article is then heated to 900�-1100� C. to grow gahnite crystals on the nuclei. Hence, the combination of a nucleation period of about 1-8 hours followed by a crystallization period of about 2-8 hours has yielded articles exhibiting very fine-grained crystals of highly uniform dimensions. Such articles can demonstrate haze-free transparency.
The preferred base compositions will contain at least 2.5% R2 O, at least 14% ZnO, at least 18% Al2 O3, less than 60% SiO2, at least 2.5% TiO2, and be essentially free from MgO.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,460,987 discloses the fabrication of composite articles consisting of a ceramic-carbon body coated with a glass-ceramic, said glass-ceramic coating consisting, by weight, of
SiO2 : 16-32
Al2 O3 : 12-16
ZnO: 43-47
Li2 O: 0-6
Na2 O: 0-6
MgO: 0-10
CaO: 0-10
SrO: 0-10
BaO: 0-10
The identity of the crystal phase(s) present is not provided, but the composition intervals are self-evidently remote from those of the present inventive glass-ceramics. No mention is made of transparency.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,681,097 describes the preparat of glass-ceramic articles containing zinc petalite solid solution or β-quartz solid solution as the predominant crystal phase. Operable compositions therefor are essentially free of alkali metal oxides and MgO, CaO, and SrO, and consist essentially, by weight, of 13-40% ZnO, 9-26% Al2 O3, 40-75% SiO2, and 3-10% ZrO2. Up to 6% BaO may advantageously be present. Up to 2% TiO2 may be tolerated, but its inclusion hazards the growth of gahnite which is expressly stated to be unwanted. No mention is made of transparency.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,839,053 is directed to highly opaque glass-ceramic articles containing zinc petalite solid solution or β-quartz solid solution consisting essentially, by weight, of about 10-20% ZnO, 12-20% Al2 O3, 1-10% Ta2 O5, 50-65% SiO2, and 2-8% ZrO2. The inclusion of TiO2 is cautioned against as tending to lead to the development of gahnite, an unwanted crystal phase.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,854,963 is drawn to densely opaque glass-ceramic articles containing zinc petalite solid solution or β-quartz solid solution consisting essentially, by weight, or about 10-20% ZnO, 10-20% Al2 O3, 50-75% SiO2, and at least 0.1% AgCl. The inclusion of TiO2 is discouraged as resulting in the formation of gahnite, an unwanted crystal phase.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,951,669 is concerned with the use of a glass-ceramic containing zinc β-quartz solid solution as the predominant crystal phase as a filler in a solder sealing glass. No nucleating agent as such was utilized; the precursor glass was powdered and nucleation was derived from the surfaces of the fine particles during firing thereof. The glass-ceramics consisted essentially, in weight percent, of 45-65% SiO2 and at least 35% ZnO+Al2 O3, wherein ZnO and Al2 O3 are present in molar ratios ranging between 0.9-1.1. The presence of zinc spinel is explicitly warned against. No mention is made of transparency.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,199,340 relates to glass-ceramics useful in glass-ceramic-to-metal seals, the glass-ceramics consisting essentially, by weight, of 25-32% ZnO, 2.5-10% Al2 O3, and 30-60% SiO2. ZrO2 in amounts up to 12.5% is cited as one of several operable nucleating agents. No identification of crystal phase(s) present is provided. TiO2 is nowhere referred to and transparency is not mentioned.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,526,873 presents transparent glass-ceramic articles containing mullite as the primary crystal phase consisting essentially, by weight, of 10-70% SiO2, 7-40% B2 O3, 14-50% Al2 O3, 2-15% ZnO, 0-35% RO, wherein RO consists of 0-15% MgO, 0-20% CaO, 0-30% SrO, 0-30% BaO, and 0-30% PbO, and 0-30% R2 O, wherein R2 O consists of 0-10% Li2 O, 0-15% Na2 O, 0-25% K2 O, 0-30% Rb2 O, and 0-30% Cs2 O, and wherein the mole ratio Al2 O3 :RO+R2 O>1.3. The inclusion of 0.01-1% Cr2 O3 provides a body which absorbs strongly in the 400-600 nm wavelength region of the radiation spectrum and fluoresces strongly in the red and near infrared portions of the spectrum when activated by ultraviolet and/or visible light.
Table I records a number of parent glass compositions prepared in the laboratory, expressed in terms of parts by weight on the oxide basis, illustrating the parameters of the present invention. Because the sum of the individual components totals or closely approximates 100, for all practical purposes the tabulated values can be deemed to reflect weight percent. The actual batch ingredients may comprise any materials, either oxides or other compounds, which, when melted together, will be converted into the desired oxide in the proper proportions.
The constituents for each of the reported glasses were compounded, ballmilled together to aid in obtaining a homogeneous melt, and then charged into platinum crucibles. After placing lids thereon, the crucibles were introduced into a furnace operating at about 1600� the batches melted for 16 hours. The melts were poured into steel molds to form glass slabs having dimensions of about 6"�6"�0.5"and those slabs were immediately transferred to an annealer operating at about 750� C.
Whereas the above description reflects laboratory glassmaking, it will be appreciated that the recited compositions could be melted in large scale, commercial glassmaking facilities. To improve glass quality, a fining agent such as As2 O3 and/or Sb2 O3 may be added to the batch. The amount remaining in the glass after the batch is melted is too small to substantively affect the character and properties of the glass.

Specimens having the proper dimensions for use in the tests referred to below were cut from the glass slabs and introduced into an electrically-heated furnace. The furnace was heated at a rate of 300� C./hour to 800� C., maintained at that temperature for two hours to promote good nucleation and then again raised at a rate of 300� C./hour to 1000� C. and held at that temperature for four hours to insure extensive crystallization. Such rate was merely a matter of convenience. More rapid or slower increases are possible; however, too fast a rate may lead to thermal deformation or even breakage of the precursor glass body. The crystallized articles were cooled to room temperature by merely cutting off the electric current to the furnace and allowing the furnace to cool with the articles therewithin. The practice is, again, simply a matter of convenience and is referred to as "cooling at furnace rate"; the rate averages about 3�-5� C./minute.
Table II reports a visual description of the crystallized samples, and values of linear coefficient of thermal expansion over the range 0�-300� C. (Coef.Exp.), expressed in terms of �10-7 /� C., electrical resistivity (Log P) at 500� C., dielectric constant (D.C.) from room temperature to 300� C. at 100 KHz, and dissipation factor (D.F.) over the range of 100�-200� C. at 100 KHz where determined, utilizing measuring techniques conventional in the art. In all samples gahnite constituted essentially the sole crystal phase.

Example 3 appears to constitute an optimum compromise of glass melting and forming characteristics along with desirable physical properties in the final glass-ceramic. Accordingly, the most preferred compositions will contain less than 55% SiO2 and at least 20% Al2 O3.

The World Ends With You was a drastic, but excellent departure for Square Enix. So with this in mind, they chose Takeharu Ishimoto to do the music for the game (who also did the music for Crisis Core) since he is a newcomer on the rise. I was a fan of what he did with Crisis Core, and I am continually impressed with this soundtrack as well. It isn't what people expect from a Square Enix soundtrack, and I think that's why people don't like it as much. It does fit the style of the game incredibly well though, which is a bigger feat than some give the soundtrack credit for.
Much like the Persona series, this soundtrack is primarily J-pop songs and craziness that most of us here in the US just aren't used to, but I don't think that is a bad thing. I find the music very catchy and it was stuck in my mind for quite awhile after listening to it. I guess you could say that the butchered lyrics might ruin it for some, but I hardly noticed it while listening to this cd and playing the game. You know whether or not you are into this stuff, and if you are then this soundtrack is going to be a worthwhile purchase. Even if you already bought the original soundtrack, the new arranged songs may make it a worthwhile purchase. If you didn't buy the first soundtrack and know this isn't your style of music, just skip it and just go play the game if you haven't already done so, because this game needs to be supported by as many people as possible so that Square Enix green lights another one.

I took Synthroid for years and recently switched to levothyroxine because my new insurance wouldn't pay for the Synthroid. My doctor prescribed Qsymia for me last month and I am losing weight at a very nice clip. I had been working hard at it for a year and had lost only about 20 pounds (or, rather, had lost, then regained, etc.) Since starting the Qsymia, I am down to an almost 30 pound loss, and I am not hungry! It really works!

The Sikkim government's ambitious plan to build an iconic skywalk on the line of the Grand Canyon in the Maenam Wildlife Sanctuary has finally got clearance. Shot down by the Standing Committee of the National Board of Wild Life (NBWL) in October 2010 on account of the negative impact it could have on the wildlife in the area, the Rs 750 crore project to build a glass skywalk and a ropeway was finally accorded NBWL's Standing Committee approval in a meeting held in December 2012, sources confirmed.
The NBWL Standing Committee is chaired by Minister for Environment & Forests Jayanthi Natarajan. At least three members of the committee expressed their reservations about the project recorded in the minutes of the meeting on December 12, 2012.
The proposal involves construction of an environment friendly glass bottom cantilever skywalk beyond the edge of Bhalleydhunga peak at 10,102 feet in South Sikkim's Maenam sanctuary. A 22 km-long ropeway has been proposed for access to Bhalleydhunga peak from the base area, Mahadeo Than.
A total of 2.1 hectares of sanctuary land would be required for the projects in 2010, the state had sought over 7 hectares.
The state government argued that the area required for the project was very small. It contended that Sikkim is the only state with more than 30 per cent of the land mass covered under protected area network and Sikkim plans to further add to it.

And then at my last doctor's appointment, the nurse was so afraid of my first name that she called me back by "Ms. Warner?" Too bad the last name is Warren. If they can't even get Warren right, then I have complete belief they've botched Rachel. (Also, my ex-sister-in-law is named Anne.

On the corner of 15 th and Market is where you will find Chloe. A jet-setting, New York fashionista, who has planted her roots in Downtown Denver to share her experiences from all around the world. The culmination of her travels has manifested into three distinct spaces in one venue. These include the Mezze Lounge, Garden, and Discotheque.
A breezy and sophisticated Mezze Lounge appeals to a variety of guests seeking a hip, upbeat venue with deliciously affordable fare. "Mezze" is defined as a small plate in Greek, Mediterranean, and Middle Eastern cuisine. These dishes range from traditional Fattoush, unique salads, flatbread pizza, hummus, and a variety of kabobs specially crafted by Executive Chef Jose Guerrero. The plates are small and designed to be shared and experienced together. To accompany this, Chloe provides a variety of light, refreshing, and fun specialty cocktails such as the Conte de Fee (meaning fairy-tale in French), the Ginger Garden, and the Melon Margarita. It's the perfect atmosphere for happy hour and early night cocktails.
After dinner, take a stroll through Chloe's garden. This 2,000 square foot space will feature high-top fire pits, a large water fountain feature, and an outdoor bar to keep you cool and refreshed during the summer months. The Garden provides a small sanctuary for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of Market Street.
Next, venture into Chloe's discotheque, which was designed to be more European in feel with rich design textures from floor to ceiling. The discotheque boasts a custom-made sound system, never-before-seen 22 foot LED wall, and 20 coveted tables reserved for Denver's elite. The music is a combination of Top 40, mash ups, and vocal house that will be mixed nightly by the country's top DJ's and celebrity hosts. Because of the limited capacity, bottle service reservations are required or guests need to be on the High-Profile guest list.
Chloe is the place where Denver's celebrities, scenesters, business professionals, and trendsetters alike can co me together in one place.
The lounge offers an onyx under-lit main bar that serves as the focal point, while comfortable over-sized black leather couches and snakeskin ottomans create the perfect atmosphere for perching and people watching amongst the crowd of business professionals and scenesters alike. The lounge is perfect for guests who are seeking a hip, upbeat venue that is the ideal retreat for happy hour and early evening cocktails. Mezze is defined as an appetizer in Greek, Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine. The Mezze lounge delivers exotic flavors that are as delectable as they are affordable. The menu was created to creatively redefine Mediterranean cuisine with seasonal mezzes such as flat bread pizzas, calamari, marinated lamb sliders, shrimp kabobs, fattoush and caprese salads. Dishes will be served alongside Chlóe's favorite international specialty cocktails like sangria, refreshing house-made lemoncello, and arancello (blood orange lemencello). There will also be live music on certain days of the week to entertain guests while they mingle. Sliding glass doors will line the wall facing Market Street, which will be open to the outdoor patio in the summertime creating a warm and breezy ambiance.
And as always we welcome your friendship
