I am new to all this and wonder if anyone can point me in the right direction please?
I am used to building simple sites using Microsoft Expression Web (and use code view a lot) so I have an understanding of HTML and CSS but trying to get my head around WordPress is a little different.
I would like to build a site with WordPress that looks more like a 'normal' site as opposed to a blog - but with the functionality that WordPress offers.
I have found a site I really like because it is really simple and clear but am a little confused as to how I would customise a few things when using WordPress e.g.
1) How would I add image links to the left sidebar (the little paw prints that say 'home' and visit our store' etc).
2) How would I separate the various things up so they are not all in the same sidebar e.g. having 'archives' in one and 'recent posts' in another?
3) Can I change the names of the various things like changing the name 'blogroll' to 'links' etc?
4) Have they added static pages?
I am supposing it is something to do with the sidebar php pages or adding plugins etc but not sure where to actaully start.
Apologies for such a long email with more than one question but I'm sure I'm pointed in the right direction I'll 'get it'
The site I like the look of is, http://dawndowsett.typepad.com/norfolk_for_dogs/welcome_norfolk_for_dogs.html/
Thanks very much for nayones help in advance.

Vt. Health Dept. to study EEE in affected zoneThe Associated Press | April 09,2013BURLINGTON — The Vermont Health Department is asking for volunteers from three Addison County towns near where the mosquito-borne disease Eastern Equine Encephalitis killed two people last year.
The study of volunteers from Brandon, Sudbury and Whiting is to determine how many people are infected with the virus that causes EEE, but have not gotten seriously ill. The blood tests would detect antibodies to the virus.
The first clinic will be April 23 at the Brandon Senior Center. On May 14 a clinic will be held at the Sudbury Town Hall and on May 29 at the Whiting Town Hall.
The two Vermonters who died from EEE lived in areas where mosquitoes had tested positive for the virus.MORE IN This Just In

Dosn't thou 'ear my 'erse's legs, as they canters awaäy? Proputty, proputty, proputty--that's what I 'ears 'em saäy. Proputty, proputty, proputty--Sam, thou's an ass for thy paaïns: Theer's moor sense i' one o' 'is legs, nor in all thy braaïns.

I'm reading "Introduction to Algorithm" CLRS. and the authors are talking about loop invariants, in chapter 2 (Insertion Sort). I don't have any idea of what it means.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
In simple words, a loop invariant is some predicate (condition) that holds for every iteration of the loop. For example, let's look at a simple
In this example it is true (for every iteration) that
I like this very simple definition:
By itself, a loop invariant doesn't do much. However, given an appropriate invariant, it can be used to help prove the correctness of an algorithm. The simple example in CLRS probably has to do with sorting. For example, let your loop invariant be something like, at the start of the loop, the first
An even simpler example is shown at http://academic.evergreen.edu/curricular/dsa01/loops.html.
The way I understand a loop invariant is as a systematic, formal tool to reason about programs. We make a single statement that we focus on proving true, and we call it the loop invariant. This organizes our logic. While we can just as well argue informally about the correctness of some algorithm, using a loop invariant forces us to think very carefully and ensures our reasoning is airtight.
There is one thing that many people don't realize right away when dealing with loops and invariants. They get confused between the loop invariant, and the loop conditional ( the condition which controls termination of the loop ).
As people point out, the loop invariant must be true
( although it can temporarily be false during the body of the loop ). On the other hand the loop conditional must be false after the loop terminates, otherwise the loop would never terminate.
Thus the loop invariant and the loop conditional must be different conditions.
A good example of a complex loop invariant is for binary search.
So the loop conditional seems pretty straight forward - when start > end the loop terminates. But why is the loop correct? What is the loop invariant which proves it's correctness?
The invariant is the logical statement:
This statement is a logical tautology - it is always true in the context of the specific loop / algorithm we are trying to prove. And it provides useful information about the correctness of the loop after it terminates.
If we return because we found the element in the array then the statement is clearly true, since if
Now what about what I said about the loop conditional necessarily being false when the loop terminates? It looks like when the element is found in the array then the loop conditional is true when the loop terminates!? It's actually not, because the implied loop conditional is really
Beside all of the good answers, I guess a great example from How to Think About Algorithms, by Jeff Edmonds can illustrate the concept very well:
Previous answers have defined a Loop Invariant in a very good way.
Now let me try to explain how authors of CLRS used Loop Invariants to prove correctness of Insertion Sort.
Insertion Sort algorithm(as given in Book):
Loop Invariant in this case (Source: CLRS book): Subarray[1 to j-1] is always sorted.
Now let us check this and prove that algorithm is correct.
Initialization: Before the first iteration j=2. So Subarray [1:1] is the array to be tested.As it has only one element so it is sorted.Thus Invariant is satisfied.
Maintanence: This can be easily verified by checking the invariant after each iteration.In this case it is satisfied.
Termination: This is the step where we will prove the correctness of algorithm.
When the loop terminates then value of j=n+1. Again Loop invariant is satisfied.This means that Subarray[1 to n] should be sorted.
This is what we want to do with our Algorithm.Thus our Algorithm is correct.
Invariant in this case means a condition that must be true at a certain point in every loop iteration.
In contract programming, an invariant is a condition that must be true (by contract) before and after any public method is called.
It should be noted that a Loop Invariant can help in the design of iterative algorithms when considered an assertion that expresses important relationships among the variables that must be true at the start of every iteration and when the loop terminates. If this holds, the computation is on the road to effectiveness. If false, then the algorithm has failed.
The meaning of invariant is never change
Here the loop invariant means "The change which happen to variable in the loop(increment or decrement) is not changing the loop condition i.e the condition is satisfying " so that the loop invariant concept has came
Loop invariant is a mathematical formula such as
It is hard to keep track of what is happening with loops. Loops which don't terminate or terminate without achieving their goal behavior is a common problem in computer programming. Loop invariants help. A loop invariant is a formal statement about the relationship between variables in your program which holds true just before the loop is ever run (establishing the invariant) and is true again at the bottom of the loop, each time through the loop (maintaining the invariant). Here is the general pattern of the use of Loop Invariants in your code:
// the Loop Invariant must be true here
Work is not carried forward to the next pass in complicated, data dependent ways. Each pass through the loop in independent of all others, with the invariant serving to bind the passes together into a working whole. Reasoning that your loop works is reduced to reasoning that the loop invariant is restored with each pass through the loop. This breaks the complicated overall behavior of the loop into small simple steps, each which can be considered separately. The test condition of the loop is not part of the invariant. It is what makes the loop terminate. You consider separately two things: why the loop should ever terminate, and why the loop achieves its goal when it terminates. The loop will terminate if each time through the loop you move closer to satisfying the termination condition. It is often easy to assure this: e.g. stepping a counter variable by one until it reaches a fixed upper limit. Sometimes the reasoning behind termination is more difficult.
The loop invariant should be created so that when the condition of termination is attained, and the invariant is true, then the goal is reached:
invariant + termination => goal
In Linear Search (as per exercise given in book), we need to find value V in given array.
Its simple as scanning the array from 0 <= k < length and comparing each element. If V found, or if scanning reaches length of array, just terminate the loop.
As per my understanding in above problem-
Loop Invariants(Initialization): V is not found in k - 1 iteration. Very first iteration, this would be -1 hence we can say V not found at position -1
Maintainance: In next iteration,V not found in k-1 holds true
Terminatation: If V found in k position or k reaches the length of the array, terminate the loop.

text: Humor January 3, 2014 Laughter, Ritual, and the Pew Study by Shari Short To paraphrase the legendary Joni Mitchell, I have looked at the Pew Study results from both sides now. I can see how the disconnect with Jewish ritual can be disconcerting and I see how the community's freedom to identify themselves openly as Jews is incredibly empowering. There's been a lot of talk about how to interpret the study and where to go from here, but I wonder if we might already have the tools we need to bridge the gaps noted in the study, using some of the traits that the study said best identify the Jewish community. October 14, 2013 Jewish Funny by Shari Short It turns out that "Jewish Funny" has become evidence-based. Results from the recent Pew Study "Portrait of Jewish Americans," four in 10 of the 5.3 million religious and cultural Jews surveyed consider a sense of humor essential to Jewish identity. Having a sense of humor is part of our communications and value system. It's as if we have a framework for which we see the world that lets us find and enjoy the irony of life's complications. I don't think it's a coincidence that the words "irony" and "oy" both have an "o" and a "y". November 6, 2012 How Being A Jewish Mother Informs My Politics by Lauren Mayer My political views are shaped by three important facets of my life – I'm Jewish, I'm a woman, and I have kids. For starters, I grew up Jewish in Orange County, CA, where there were even fewer Jews than Democrats. December 13, 2010 What's your beef with Sarah Silverman? by Leah Berkenwald Sarah Silverman appeared on Late Night with Conan O'Brien last Friday and shared an important message about vaginal health with the women of America, among other things. July 13, 2010 Sarah Jones and the Performance of Ethnicity by Gwen Sarah Jones is an activist who spreads her message from the stage, portraying characters of many different ethnic backgrounds and in a monologue from each person, discussing issues of ethnicity, diversity, and social justice. Many of these characters are based on people she knew or observed while growing up in Queen's New York. June 28, 2010 Deconstructing the "Sassy Gay Friend" by Leah Berkenwald David Levy, writing for JewishBoston.com, recently challenged us at JWA to comment on the gender/sexuality dynamic of the Second City's new video series, "Sassy Gay Friend." He wrote: There's a long tradition in Judaism of imagining different versions of our favorite stories, from rabbinic midrash to contemporary novels. Comedy troupe The Second City has thrown their hat into the ring this week with a new Youtube video in their "Sassy Gay Friend" series. November 16, 2009 "It's No Joke" by Leah Berkenwald The Center for Reproductive Rights is taking an exciting approach to fighting the Stupak Amendment and the potential loss of abortion coverage it would ultimately bring about. Cory Kahaney (one of the hosts of Making Trouble) stars in their new ad, "It's No Joke," which will air on MSNBC this week. Kahaney drives home her point with a quick standup routine about health care that makes it perfectly clear that the threat to abortion access is no joke. December 31, 2007 "25 Questions for a Jewish Mother" by Jordan Namerow On Saturday night, I saw Judy Gold's one-woman show 25 Questions for a Jewish Mother. The title of her show was inspired by her quest, in partnership with playwright Kate Moira Ryan, to interview more than 50 Jewish mothers around the country, of different ages and Jewish backgrounds. June 13, 2007 "Making Trouble" Makes a Splash! by Jordan Namerow What does a 4'11'' Yiddish theatre gender-bender have to do with a brassy woman in blackface? Making Trouble! Check out the official website for Making Trouble, the new full-length documentary film about Jewish women comedians, produced by the Jewish Women's Archive. Be sure to view the trailer, sign-up for our film newsletter, and tune in to film screenings in your neck of the woods. Happy laughing! May 30, 2007 Women Comedians Making Trouble by Jordan Namerow Over the past few months, the media has been flooded with articles about women in comedy. Jewish women in particular have been in spotlight with Sarah Silverman's sky-rocketing ratings, Comedian Cory Kahaney's "The J.A.P. Show: Princesses of Comedy" and Judy Gold's one-woman show "25 Questions for a Jewish Mother." Indeed, these women know how to keep us laughing. And yet, why aren't there more of them?

What's Happening
Pinpoint Your Plan
This is the current step of our theme and its focus is on setting GOALS and reaching them. The GOALS were set at our October conferences, but they've been "hibernating" since that meeting. Fortunately, I kept them safe and have placed them onto each student's desk. Beginning next week, we will start crafting Goals essays which will be followed by Goals speeches at the beginning on the New Year.
We just finished Leonardo's Horse, a selection within Reading Street. We will compare Leonardo's story to our yearlong theme, in the sense that we will see how he set a goal and worked towards it.
On Wednesday, we will begin our last novel study in 2015: Sign of the Beaver. This will be an Analysis on how the main character, Matt, has to set LIFESKILL GOALS in order to learn to survive in the "new world" of Maine.
Social Studies
Students are studying the first explorers of North America. Students will write a "proposal" that explains who he or she would like to join on an expedition. The next important detail centers on why they want to go on this expedition. Last, they will explain the dangers they know they will face.
The 2nd part of this project is writing a "log" as if he or she actually went on the expedition. Dates will be either real or fictionalized, and each entry should be somewhat factual but can include some imaginary details too. The last piece will be to "pinpoint" the approximate latitude and longitude for several of their entries.

Another Season of RWBY Means More Epic Fights

Want to see some of the most amazing, well-choreographed fights animation has to offer? Then RWBY season two is the place for you.
Red versus Blue. Shirts versus skins. Zombies versus humans.
Over the last few months, the good people over at Rooster Teeth (the group behind machinima hit Red vs Blue) have been producing their own original game and anime-inspired web series called RWBY. And while it's hardly deep, its first season provides enough action and imagination to draw anyone in.
Released earlier this spring, this is the Japanese language version of the "Red vs. Blue: Remember to Not Forget" clip that was supposed help you to remember to...not forget Halo 4's release date.
Rooster Teeth started their popular Halo-based machinima comedy series Red vs Blue all the way back in 2003.
The Transportation Security Administration isn't making too many friends in American airports at the moment. It'll make less friends if it starts holding up video games the way it holds up a departures line.
Popular Halo web series Red vs Blue just got a little more real, with this veritable army of real-life Spartan suits built to honour the machinima.
It's Bungie Day, and the developer celebrates with a new video featuring Rooster Teeth's Red Vs. Blue crew coming home to a new and improved Halo: Reach version of the Blood Gulch map.
The Red vs. Blue team from Rooster Teeth's machinima series take a look at the "normal soldiers" of Halo 3: ODST.
The creators of the Red vs. Blue series take on City of Heroes, in a series of live-action shorts featuring the greatest superhero of all time, Captain Dynamic.

Government publishes amendments to hybrid rules in Finance Bill 2016
The Government has published a series of amendments to the hybrid rules in Schedule 10 to Finance Bill 2016 to be included at the report stage of the Bill on 5 September 2016. As a reminder the rules are intended to counteract arrangements involving hybrid entities, instruments or transfers where either the same payment gives rise to deductions in two different jurisdictions or where a payment is deductible for the payer but does not give rise to any taxable income in the hands of the payee.
The amendments deal with a number of issues that arise in respect of hybrid mismatches that involve companies with branches. A major concern had been the way that payments or deemed payments made from a foreign branch to a UK head office were treated, but such payments are no longer within the scope of the rules. Likewise, payments from a non-UK entity to either a UK branch or a non-UK branch of a UK company are no longer in scope. Nor, in most circumstances, are payments made to a branch of a UK company in certain tax free jurisdictions. The amendments also mean that losses from a company's foreign branch can be set off against other UK profits as currently, unless the losses are set off against profits of a different entity in the branch's jurisdiction.
Other changes provide that, in certain circumstances, a hybrid entity in a tax-free jurisdiction receiving a payment can now give rise to a mismatch even where the entity would not have been taxable if it was not a hybrid.
New exclusions from the rules are provided by the amendments for payments to genuinely diversely held investment funds while the financial trader exclusion from the rule on hybrid transfers (e.g. stock loads and repos) is widened slightly so it no longer matters if the financial trader treats a payment as a manufactured dividend or interest, as long as it is taxed as trading income.
There are some further issues that we have highlighted to HMRC that have not been addressed by the amendments released so far and we hope the Government will reflect on these and release further amendments in due course.
Groups may wish to consider the extent to which the amendments affect their structures and whether further representations to HMRC should be made.
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.
Court of Session decides subsidiary can make a VAT repayment claim on behalf of its parent
The Scottish Court of Session (equivalent to the Court of Appeal) has released its decision in the case of Taylor Clark Leisure concerning HMRC's decision to refuse a number of Fleming claims, for overpaid VAT. The claims were made in 2007, covering the period 1973 to 1996, by what was previously a subsidiary of the taxpayer. However, no claims were made in time by the taxpayer itself. As the representative member of a VAT group, of which the subsidiary was previously a member, the taxpayer contended that the claims made by the subsidiary should be repaid to it.
The First-tier Tribunal had held that as the taxpayer had never made a claim, it could not rely on the claims made by its subsidiary and further, that it was the subsidiary, rather than the taxpayer, which would have been entitled to any VAT repayment. The Upper Tribunal held that the taxpayer, as the representative member of the VAT group, would have been entitled to claim repayment of output tax overpaid. However, as the taxpayer made no claims before the expiry of the limitation period, its claims were time-barred. The Court of Session has now ruled in the taxpayer's favour, holding that a claim can be made on behalf of the representative member of a VAT group by a current or former member of the VAT group, just as it could be made by a professional adviser. In this case therefore, the claim made by the subsidiary was in the capacity as agent of the representative member and it therefore constituted an in-time claim by the taxpayer.
There are currently a number of ongoing cases concerning this issue including Standard Chartered and Lloyds Banking Group which were recently heard at the Upper Tribunal, so as a broader issue, the 'fiction' of a VAT group is not yet settled. Any business which has outstanding or new claims for overpaid VAT with HMRC, which may be affected by a change in VAT grouping, may wish to consider the impact of this decision and the ongoing litigation.
Other UK developments
Finance Bill scheduled to be considered by the House of Lords on 13 September 2016
As we reported in last week's Midweek Tax News, the report stage for Finance Bill 2016 has been scheduled for 5 September 2016. We now understand that the Lords have scheduled 13 September 2016 as the date to complete all Finance Bill stages. This suggests that Royal Assent could be sought on 14 or 15 September 2016, otherwise it would have to wait until Parliament returned from the recess for the party conferences on 10 October 2016.
HMRC extends transitional relief for certain disguised remuneration schemes
HMRC has published guidance confirming that the Government intends to extend the date for withdrawal of transitional relief on investment growth under the disguised remuneration legislation. The changes to the disguised remuneration rules were announced at Budget 2016 and one of these changes was to restrict a transitional relief on investment returns accruing on disguised remuneration in order to encourage users of certain types of disguised remuneration schemes to settle their liabilities.
A Government amendment has been published to be included in Finance Bill 2016 at the report stage, to change the date on which transitional relief is withdrawn from 1 December 2016 to 1 April 2017. The intention is to enable those who want to reach a settlement with HMRC to have sufficient time to do so.
EY has been engaging with HMRC on this matter and the amendments are in line with our specific proposals and recommendations.
First-tier Tribunal decides sub-lessee can claim industrial buildings allowances (IBAs)
In the case of David Wellstead, the First-tier Tribunal has held that the sub-lessee under a long sub-lease could claim IBAs, even though the necessary conditions in the Capital Allowances Act 2001 for the taxpayer to elect to be treated as holding the 'relevant interest' in the property to qualify for IBAs were not met. The Tribunal considered that a purposive construction of the relevant provisions would, alone, be insufficient for the taxpayer's claim to succeed. However it identified, within the statutory provisions, a single ambiguous word 'merely' which, along with the Tribunal's inability to discern any parliamentary purpose in restricting IBAs to assignees of leases, led the tribunal to conclude that the appellant had acquired the relevant interest and could claim IBAs.
On the basis of this decision, the courts have had much more discretion than previously understood in determining whether the grant of a sub-lease gave rise to a 'relevant interest'. As the decision appears to contradict common practice and hinges on a single word, it may be subject to appeal.
First-tier Tribunal decides there is no time limit for making VAT repayment claims after change in HMRC policy
The First-tier Tribunal has released its decision in the case of K E Entertainments. The issue considered in this case was whether bingo operators were entitled to make adjustments and reclaim excess VAT paid when HMRC changed the basis of calculation of the VAT payable on bingo takings.
A bingo session typically consists of a number of games for which the customer pays a single price. Prior to 2007, HMRC required certain fees to be calculated on a game by game basis. However, HMRC changed its policy in that year to a session basis.
Agreeing with the taxpayer, the First-tier Tribunal held that the change in HMRC policy amounted to a change in the consideration paid by customer, meaning that no time limits applied to the VAT repayment claims. The First-tier Tribunal considered that an internal credit note was sufficient as an audit trail, recognising that the issue of individual credit notes to each bingo customer would have been impossible.
Bingo operators may wish to consider submitting a repayment claim if they have not already done so. For businesses outside the sector, the decision may, in some cases, support a wider interpretation of 'regulation 38' on adjustments to consideration.
Office of Tax Simplification (OTS) publishes discussion documents on the taxation of small companies
Following its report on small company taxation in March 2016, the OTS has published discussion documents on look-through taxation and on a sole enterprise protected assets business model.
The OTS notes that look-through taxation, whereby small companies are treated as transparent for tax purposes, eliminates the corporation tax computation but taxable profits still need to be calculated and all the accounting and regulatory aspects for the company remain. Consequently, the OTS concluded that look-through taxation would not be a general simplification even if it could see advantages for some companies.
A sole enterprise protected assets business model would make provision for protecting one or more of the assets of a self-employed individual without them having to incorporate a limited company. The OTS discussion document sets out a possible model and poses various questions to find out if it would actually be used by businesses and if it would prove to be a simplification.
The OTS has invited comments on the discussion documents and will publish its conclusions in a final report in early October.
International developments
Slovak presidency of the European Council sets out taxation policies
The Slovak presidency of the Council of the EU, which lasts until the end of 2016, has set out a roadmap on how it intends to conduct work in relation to the challenges in the area of BEPS in the EU.
In the short term, the Presidency will aim at reaching agreement during the next few months on the following work items:
• Interest and Royalties Directive: It intends to reach a political agreement on the directive by the end of the year. It will use the result of the previous discussions as a basis and take into account the possible impact of the agreement reached on the anti-tax avoidance directive
• Transparency: It will start technical work on amending the directive on administrative cooperation to allow tax authorities to access anti-money laundering data
• Non-cooperative jurisdictions: It will take forward work on producing a list of countries to be screened and the criteria to be used
• Hybrids: When they are published, it will work on the Commission's proposals for dealing with hybrid mismatches with territories outside the EU
The Presidency will also support work in the areas of: patent boxes; improving the code of conduct group; dispute resolution mechanisms; the common consolidated corporate tax base; taxation of payments made to outside the EU; mandatory disclosure rules; and guidelines for issuing tax rulings.
Luxembourg State Aid investigation details published in the Official Journal
In June 2016, the European Commission published a public version of the letter it had sent to the Luxembourg tax authorities in December 2015 setting out its decision to open an investigation into whether Luxembourg provided State Aid to a multinational enterprise in respect of certain tax rulings. That letter was published in the Official Journal of the European Union on 15 July 2016 and interested parties have a month from then to submit any comments to the Commission.
EU consultation launched on VAT rates for electronic publications
The European Commission has launched a consultation on reduced VAT rates for electronically supplied publications such as e-books. Under current EU VAT rules, electronic publications must be taxed at the standard VAT rate, whereas Member States are allowed to apply a lower VAT rate to printed publications.
The consultation will seek views on:
• the commitment by the European Commission in its 2016 Action Plan on VAT to allow Member States to apply reduced rates, super-reduced rates and zero rates to electronic publications
• the definition and scope of electronic publications, and
• the potential impact of reduced rates
The Commission has taken infringement proceedings against a number of Member States in recent years in relation to this issue, so this consultation may indicate a welcome change in policy. Affected businesses may wish to submit a response by the closing date of 19 September 2016.

- 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.

What's in store for Phil Coulson & Co. when the Marvel superhero TV series returns in the fall?
Ming-Na Wen's Agent Melinda May takes center stage in ABC's newest character spotlight for Marvel's Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., which premieres Tuesday, Sept. 24.
S.H.I.E.L.D. executive producer Maurissa Tancharoen revealed a behind-the-scenes photo of a sign from the set of the Joss Whedon-directed pilot. The project appears likely to receive a series order from ABC.
Speaking to journalists at the Television Critics Association's winter tour, ABC's Paul Lee said the network is hopeful Joss Whedon's S.H.I.E.L.D. will receive a series order. Whedon is already working on additional scripts.
Teasing a few details about ABC's newly greenlit S.H.I.E.L.D. pilot, Joss Whedon stressed that the planned series will be largely "autonomous" from the storylines of Marvel's blockbuster Avengers and its upcoming sequel.
Ending speculation about a live-action Marvel television series, ABC has greenlit a S.H.I.E.L.D. pilot co-written, and possibly directed, by Joss Whedon. He will co-writer with brother Jed Whedon and Jed's wife Maurissa Tancharoen (both Dollhouse collaborators), who will serve as showrunners.
In addition to six new series', Felicia Day's Geek and Sundry YouTube channel includes a brand new The Guild music video called "I'm The One That's Cool."

Oropharyngeal cancer is a disease in which malignant (cancer) cells form in the tissues of the oropharynx.
The oropharynx is the middle part of the pharynx (throat) behind the mouth, and includes the back one-third of the tongue, the soft palate, the side and back walls of the throat, and the tonsils. The pharynx is a hollow tube about 5 inches long that starts behind the nose and ends at the top of the trachea (windpipe) and esophagus (the tube that goes from the throat to the stomach). Air and food pass through the pharynx on the way to the trachea or the esophagus.
Anatomy of the pharynx (throat). The three parts of the pharynx are the nasopharynx, oropharynx, and hypopharynx.
Most oropharyngeal cancers are squamous cell carcinomas. Squamous cells are the thin, flat cells that line the inside of the oropharynx.
Oropharyngeal cancer is a type of head and neck cancer.
Use of tobacco products and drinking too much alcohol can increase the risk of oropharyngeal cancer.
Anything that increases your risk of getting a disease is called a risk factor. Having a risk factor does not mean that you will get cancer; not having risk factors doesn't mean that you will not get cancer. Talk with your doctor if you think you may be at risk. Risk factors for oropharyngeal cancer include the following:
- Smoking and chewing tobacco.
- Heavy alcohol use.
- A diet low in fruits and vegetables.
- Drinking maté, a stimulant drink common in South America.
- Chewing betel quid, a stimulant commonly used in parts of Asia.
- Being infected with human papillomavirus (HPV).
Signs and symptoms of oropharyngeal cancer include a lump in the neck and a sore throat.
These and other signs and symptoms may be caused by oropharyngeal cancer or by other conditions. Check with your doctor if you have any of the following:
- A sore throat that does not go away.
- A dull pain behind the breastbone.
- Cough.
- Trouble swallowing.
- Weight loss for no known reason.
- Ear pain.
- A lump in the back of the mouth, throat, or neck.
- A change in voice.

I am using cyclelite jquery script in a WordPress site and want to enqueue jquery as I will be using plugins that require jquery. The problem is that cyclelite doesn't work when I enqueue but does work if I link jquery 1.4.2 straight from template dir.
I can't link it straight for live site as, with a lightbox plugin, the source is loading two jquerys: one from my direct link and one enqueued by the lightbox plugin.
So... are there any modifications a javascript needs to work with the WP enqueued: wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.4.2

Beyond the written word, I'm no artist. I can barely draw a stick figure, but from time to time I'll "draw" a picture of my life to help me see things from a different perspective. Following are the techniques I've been using to "shape up my life" for the last few years.
Try one on for size!
Create a Time Management Chart
If you're going to get anything accomplished, you've got to get a handle on where you spend your time. From reading dozens of self-help books and articles, I've seen this chart presented in various ways either via a pie chart or spreadsheet. The key is to determine graphically where you spend your time now. List all items that occupy your time on a given day like "working," "sleeping," "watching TV," etc.
Once you have the numbers create another diagram of your ideal lifestyle. For example suppose you'd like to start a new hobby, but you never thought you had the time. Include the hobby in the hypothetical dream chart. Then look at the real time chart and see where you can make room for your hobby. You might find that if you cut back a little on socializing or watching TV, you can create one free hour a week. That's enough to explore one or two new interests.
Create a Control Chart
I believe I first got the idea to "diagram" my life from Marci Alboher's book "One Person Multiple Careers. In this work Alboher, asks readers to take a piece of paper and draw a circle in the middle of the page. In the circle we were to write down the name of the job or responsibility that was static or that would allow for limited flexibility. Then all around the circle Alboher instructed us to list the more fluid items, things that could be accomplished on weekends or during lunch breaks or commutes etc.
From this exercise I discovered that many of my many aspirations, only two were static. This meant that most of my career goals were under my control. As long as I was organized and disciplined, I could achieve.
Create an Individuality Chart
Inspired by Alboher's chart, I began to experiment by placing different aspirations inside of the circle to see which one could be central or the organizing professional principle whether it was "static" or not. Then one day while reading Smart Questions: Learn to Ask the Right Questions for Powerful Results by Gerald Nadler and William J. Chandon and I came across what they called "The Uniqueness of You" diagram.
The diagram has the word "YOU" in the center and then all around the word are different things like "moods, grandparents, collaborations, jokes, biology, horoscopes," and hundreds of other things that all work together to make us unique.
I think this chart can be useful for those who fear that dreaded word, "competition." If you think about it, we're all so unique that no two people are exactly alike. There's no need to fear competition because like motivational speaker Les Brown contends, there really isn't any!
The key is to learn how to best present and use your unique strengths and qualities to get whatever it is you need to enrich your life.

Langman will address gun violence and school shootings on March 4 at 5 p.m. in the University Hall Amphitheater
Friday, February 01, 2013
Langman's research on school shooters has been cited in congressional testimony on Capitol Hill, and he has been interviewed about school shooters by media outlets in the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, South America and the Middle East.
In the wake of the mass, fatal shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut in December, Langman's recommendations on preventing school shootings were presented by the head of the American Psychological Association to President Obama.
Langman holds an M.A. in counseling psychology from Lesley and a Ph.D. in counseling psychology from Lehigh University. His book, Why Kids Kill: Inside the Minds of School Shooters, has been translated into German, Finnish and Dutch.
For more information on Langman and materials relating to school shooters, visit his website here.
Langman has provided training on preventing school shootings to several thousand professionals in law enforcement, mental health, and education. He is also a poet and a playwright.
Free and open to the public, Langman's lecture will take place at 5 p.m.
in the 2nd floor Amphitheater of University Hall, followed by a
reception. University Hall is located on Lesley's Porter Campus at 1815
Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge.
Dr. Langman's talk is part of a Gun Series presented by the Office of Lesley President Joseph B. Moore to engage the community in a conversation on gun control in the wake of the school shootings in Connecticut and amid renewed national attention to the epidemic of gun violence.
Lesley hosted the state's most prominent gun control advocate, John Rosenthal, on February 5, for the first lecture in the series. Read coverage of Rosenthal's talk here.
The third and final speaker in the Gun Series is Harvard Professor and New Yorker staff writer Jill Lepore on Monday, April 1 at 4:00 pm in University Hall Amphitheater.

Statement From Berkshire Hathaway on Authorizing Kraft Share Proposal
Here is the text of the statement released by Berkshire on Kraft's proposal for authorization to issue more shares to back a Cadbury deal.
OMAHA, Neb.--January 05, 2010-- Berkshire Hathaway Inc. BRK.B 0.17 % (BRK.A; BRK.B): Berkshire Hathaway has voted "no" on Kraft's proposal to authorize the issuance of up to 370 million shares to facilitate the acquisition of Cadbury. Berkshire, taking into account both its own holdings and those of its pension funds, believes that the 138,272,500 Kraft shares it owns -- 9.4% of the total outstanding -- make it the company's largest shareholder.
The share-issuance proposal, if enacted, will give Kraft a blank check allowing it to change its offer to Cadbury -- in any way it wishes -- from the transaction presented to shareholders in the proxy statement. And we worry very much that, indeed, there will be an additional change from the revision announced this morning.
To state the matter simply, a shareholder voting "yes" today is authorizing a huge transaction without knowing its cost or the means of payment.
What we know with certainty, however, is that Kraft stock, at its current price of $27, is a very expensive "currency" to be used in an acquisition. In 2007, in fact, Kraft spent $3.6 billion to repurchase shares at about $33 per share, presumably because the directors and management thought the shares to be worth more.
Does the board now believe those purchases were a mistake and that Kraft's true value is only the current price of $27 per share -- and that it is therefore fine to structure a major acquisition based upon that price? Would the directors use stock as merger currency if the price were, say, $20 per share? Surely the true business value of what is given is as important as the true business value of what is received when an acquisition is being evaluated. We hope all shareholders will use this yardstick in deciding how to vote.
Our understanding is that Kraft must announce its final offer for Cadbury by January 19th. If we conclude at that point that the offer does not destroy value for Kraft shareholders, we will change our vote to "yes."
At this time, however, we believe no shareholder should vote "yes" when he can't possibly know what he is voting for.
Berkshire Hathaway and its subsidiaries engage in diverse business activities including property and casualty insurance and reinsurance, utilities and energy, finance, manufacturing, retailing and services. Common stock of the company is listed on the New York Stock Exchange, trading symbols BRK.A and BRK.B.
