Two years ago, we published an article related to "add-backs" to business free cash flows and their importance to value when planning your exit. The information has proven to be very helpful to a number of clients and prospective clients of our firm so we decided to revisit this topic.
Business value "add-backs" refer to certain business expenses that are truly one-time in nature, are incurred due to the present owners community relationships or are otherwise not necessary to the ongoing operations of the business. The reason that identifying these expenses while thinking about business value in certain exit scenarios is so important is because any business is only worth what a future owner expects to receive in benefits from owning your business (i.e. net expected future free cash flows).
Keep in mind, when making decisions about what types of expenses you have your business incur and what expenses you incur personally, there is a point at which business "perks" become too liberal given the tax code and construct that governs them. While that line may be drawn differently for every individual, we strongly encourage each business owner to work with a CPA trained in business-related issues along with their Wealth Planner and Business Exit Planner as they determine how to balance these competing issues and craft their business financials and cash flow. (Note that the type of eventual exit you are pursuing also needs to be a factor when determining how to manage what expenses the business incurs and does not.)
Examples of Typical Add-Back Expenses
While there really isn't a "typical" anything when trying to understand a business' value (because every single one is entirely unique!), there is a general bank of add-backs that apply to many businesses. The list below is by no way all-inclusive and cannot replace the advice of your CPA and Exit Planner, but is instead meant to provide some examples as you consider your business financials.
- Owner Salary above a "market" rate
- Children or other family members on payroll at an above "market" rate given the type and amount of work being performed for the business
- Any owner perks that are not 100% business related (owner cell phones, certain travel, company vehicle)
- Items that are truly one-time in nature (do not fool yourself about periodic expenses that are recurring but just not every year)
- Meals and entertainment that exceed a typical stipend or are not necessary to maintain company cash flow
- Owner benefits that are not customary (life insurance in excess of what is needed for "key man" coverage, as an example)
- Charitable Contributions made due to an owner's personal charitable goals (this may or may not be an add-back depending upon your business entity type)
- Lease payments for business-occupied real estate (many times business owner controlled as well) in excess of a fair market rate
The 'Normalization Process' to Get to the Company's True Cash Flow
The process of adding back these expenses is called a 'normalization' process. Done properly, this process will identify all of the personal and non-recurring expenses within the business and will add them back to free cash flow to show a future owner the true earnings potential of your privately-held business.
Concluding Thoughts
When considering an exit from your privately-held business, it is important to remember that it is your responsibility to demonstrate the future earnings power of your business to your future owner. By understanding the normalization process and working with your trusted advisors you may be able to substantially improve the potential value that a future owner is willing to pay you for your business.

RANDY pensioners are making a beeline for sex shops thanks to saucy film Fifty Shades Of Grey
Older fans of the racy flick have been boosting sales of sex toys across the country in recent months.
Ann Summers boss Jacqueline Gold, 54, has revealed the big screen adaptation of the hit novel has convinced older women to get kinky in the bedroom.
She said: "We definitely get older people in more now. And at Ann Summers parties you get three generations of women there.
"Our core customers are 18 to 25 and they tend to buy the lingerie but we find the older customers are more likely to buy the sex toys. The older women are more confident and adventurous."
"We definitely get older people in more now"Jacqueline Gold
She added: "With the advent of Fifty Shades Of Grey I'm not sure people are as reserved as they were.
"When the film came out not only did we sell out of blindfolds and handcuffs, we also found we had a whole new type of customer.
"People were inspired to experiment in the bedroom. And that can only be a really good thing.
"I would say we're less repressed now."

Are apps are all they're cracked up to be or should publishers just embrace mobile web?
Ruth Spencer, chief blogger with Kaldor, the producer of the Pugpig digital publishing platform, suggests question a publisher should ask to determine the right approach
Mobile web adoption is growing eight times faster than desktop web adoption did in the 1990s and early 2000s, which just goes to show how important it is to consider mobile experience when providing online content. Having a mobile optimised website, therefore, is no longer an option – unless of course you want to lose a high percentage of your consumer base. In fact, a recent study showed that 57% of mobile users were found to abandon a website if it took more than 3 seconds to load.
So, if having a mobile optimised website is so important, why bother with an app? Well, websites and apps offer different things to users. Here are the questions I would think you should ask to help you decide for yourself.
It's all about your audience
Where are your audience coming from? How do they want to consume your content and how would you like them to engage with it? These questions are key to deciding whether you should develop an app. If your audience is large and transient an optimised mobile website could be the answer. On the other hand, if you're trying to attract a smaller (potentially more valuable) audience, or wanting to have your content available offline, an app would be a better fit. But it's not all up to you – if developing an app, Newsstands and app stores can help to promote your content to new audiences and ultimately build your customer base. Combine this with engagement features like deep-linking push notifications, 'Today' widgets, badges and background loading, you can increase the chances that your audience keep checking the app and coming back for more.
How do you want to publish your content?
Is your content fast moving or more long form? Does it have a long shelf life? Answering these questions will help you see if an app is more suited to your content, or if indeed a mobile optimised website is the right approach. Content that is continually updating is well suited to a website, and edition based content (with a start and finish) is more suited to an app. Having said that, there is a trend within the publishing industry at the moment of creating apps with a continuous style of publishing. Titles such as Retail Week and Health Service Journal publish content as soon as it's ready, meaning users have access to the latest news and analysis wherever they are.
How will I make my money?
Do you want to offer subscriptions and paid-for single editions, or do you want your content to be available for free? What advertising opportunities do you want to offer? It's hard to take money for content, so you shouldn't be surprised when free content online performs better than paid content in apps. But it's not impossible, The Week for example has over 26,000 fully paid weekly subscribers. And of course, your app could be free, Stylist magazine has more than 29,000 edition downloads per week. Apps also provide new opportunities for advertising. Full-page interactive ads, algorithmic interstitials, and splash screens all offer an alternative to the well understood web-based CPM model.
Do you want to go native?
Are you promoting events and activities? Does your content contain audio and video? Would tapping into the native elements of a mobile device be beneficial to your content? Whether you're promoting a gig in London, or a conference in Berlin, allowing your users to seamlessly add the event to the native calendar on the device can help to ensure the success of that event. That seamless experience is also important when watching video, listening to audio or writing an email. By tapping into the features of the device, it means you can ensure an excellent user experience whilst they interact with your content.
But won't an app cost more?
This is a common question amongst publishers and content providers. I think the answer is simple, apps don't have to be expensive and mobile optimised websites aren't necessarily cheap. Depending on your in-house talent, you can create an app in under 8 days.
So what's the answer?
The two models sit well together, but as a content owner you need to be clear about which product does what for your users as well as your advertisers. If your website is powered by a CMS, then there's not much additional workload required to repurpose your app content for your website, and visa versa. Ultimately comes down to offline reading and native user experience, and if these are things you want, then an app is the way forward.

The New York Yankees, the most successful Major League Baseball team in history and one of the most valuable sports franchises of all-time, revolutionized not only baseball but all of professional sports. The Yankees once went through an unprecedented period of dominance in which they won 11 World Series between 1947 and 1962, and came within one game of winning 3 more. This era of domination changed the landscape of professional baseball.
How did they do it? It was simple – they were the wealthiest franchise in the world, so they bought and developed the best players available. Hall of Famers like Mickey Mantle, Roger Maris, Whitey Ford, Joe DiMaggio, and Yogi Berra all played for the Yankees during that time.
However, an interesting movement began to take hold after the era of Yankees' dominance: innovation. Teams suddenly began to think outside of the box and started developing sophisticated scouting systems, placed an emphasis on coaching their youth players in the minor leagues, and began creating unique ways to attract some of the better players internationally.
Meanwhile, Major League Baseball began instituting methods of maintaining competitive balance without prohibiting the best athletes from playing in the league. In 1947, Jackie Robinson became the first African-American to play in Major League Baseball when he suited up for the Brooklyn Dodgers, and by 1959 every team in the league had fully integrated players of all colors. The Major League Baseball Draft was instituted in 1965, allowing teams equal access to the best talent in the world. In 1968 the Central Scouting Bureau was created to assist in supporting the scouting operations of all Major League Baseball clubs, which later evolved into the Major League Baseball Scouting Bureau in 1974. Then, MLB began instituting revenue sharing in 1994, a way of spreading some of the revenues of large market teams to small market teams. Lastly, the league began instituting a luxury tax for teams in 2003. "Technically called the 'Competitive Balance Tax', the Luxury Tax is the punishment that large market teams get for spending too much money. While MLB does not have a set salary cap, the luxury tax charges teams with high payrolls a considerable amount of money, giving teams ample reason to want to keep their payrolls below that level." Teams like the New York Yankees, Los Angeles Dodgers, and Boston Red Sox don't mind paying this tax because their budgets far exceed any luxury tax threats. Revenue from luxury tax went to fund player benefits (50%), the Industry Growth Fund (25%), and went towards developing baseball in countries without high school programs (25%). Today, the Yankees have one of the two highest payrolls in the league and have won only one World Series since 2000. The team with the highest payroll – the Los Angeles Dodgers – hasn't won a World Series since 1988.
So, why talk about baseball on a website that's dedicated to the growth of American football? It's because there's a lesson to be learned here – there are better ways to maintain competitive balance without inhibiting the growth of a sport. In the case of Major League Baseball, a long period of Yankees' dominance created the impetus to change, which spurred innovation and improved efficiency in the sport of baseball.
National American football leagues in Europe have varying definitions of what constitutes an "import player", however in most cases an import player is considered to be an athlete without a passport from any country within the 28-nation European Union. In Europe, almost every country has instituted its own limit on the number of import players each team can have on its roster. Additionally, most European leagues have a limit on the number of import players a team can have on the field at one time. Since most import players come from North America and are on average at a higher skill level than the average national player, national federations have elected to limit these players as a means to maintain competitive balance. Countries like the United Kingdom have even gone so far as to prohibit the payment of any players, mandating an amateur state of the game within its borders.
There is an ongoing debate about the fairness and value of this very topic, as national federations have felt that this is the easiest way to promote competitive balance in their respective leagues. To be fair, this does achieve a manner of semi-equal competitiveness as it limits the number of elite players you can have on your team. This is further encouraged at times by vocal small-market teams that struggle to compete against large-market teams in their own division.
However, most of all, these rules are acknowledging one very simple truth: that we're too lazy to innovate. Our teams and federations are proving that they'd rather be equally pedestrian than take the chance of being equally great. Rather than elevating our own teams, we're attempting to bring other teams down to our level. This strategy is guaranteed to result in a continuation of amateurism and it is the one thing that is prohibiting the growth of American football in Europe, bar none.
Then people ask, why are we not getting sponsors? Why don't we have more fans at our games? Why won't the media take us more seriously? Well, it's because we're not taking ourselves seriously. We want to compete with soccer, rugby, basketball, and hockey for market share, but we won't be able to surpass or even reach those sports as long as we're prohibiting the growth of the game here in Europe.
There are four standard arguments in favor of the establishment of import quotas. The following is a breakdown of each argument.
If we are to make the statement that import quotas encourage competitive balance, we can also state that the opposite is true: eliminating import quotas improves competitive balance. Let me give you an example. Before my first season with the Brussels Bulls in 2008, the team went winless and had to forfeit the second half of its season. The following season the Bulls began bringing in multiple import players and we started challenging for a playoff spot almost immediately. The Bulls went from last place and unable to withstand a full season to one of the most competitive teams in the league in a short period of time, largely with the help of import players. It had a lasting effect too – the Bulls junior team won consecutive national championships (in part due to the coaching by import players) and the senior team made it to the Belgian Bowl in 2013, only their sixth full season as an organization. That gap would have been much wider had the Bulls not brought in multiple imports to raise the level of the team, and the national players on the team elevated their level of play by having the opportunity to compete against import players in practice.
You can also make the case that placing a cap on the number of imports you can sign prohibits competitive balance because teams that are struggling to improve are restricted from challenging for league championships. It can actually make the gap much wider between the top and bottom teams because it limits their options to improve. Sometimes you need to shake up the system to create more competition and give other teams an opportunity to play at a higher level.
This is a prevailing thought, however it is categorically untrue. If you need proof, look no further than the sport of soccer. Countries like Spain and Germany have a massive influx of foreign players in their national leagues and boast some of the best club soccer in the world, however that hasn't prohibited the improvement of their national teams in any way. As a matter of fact, it has improved it: Germany and Spain have dominated international soccer for the past 6 years, accumulating two FIFA World Cup championships and two European Championships between them.
So why is that? It's because they have fostered an environment where their national players are playing against the best competition in the world, and they can do so without leaving their own country. Remember, the absolute best way to improve your level of skill is to play against better competition. The best way to do that is to bring in the best American football players from around the world so you can challenge your national players to play at their highest level.
Additionally, let's be clear – import players aren't suddenly going to constitute 100% of any league. The top players in each European country have the talent to compete almost anywhere in the world against any competition, and it will never be financially or commercially viable to have more import players than national players. We are in no way encouraging that, so that concern is never of any consequence.
Plus, don't forget the value of bringing in players from different countries – there is enormous value in creating a multicultural locker room where players can learn from each other. This is directly beneficial to our players both on the field and off it.
Businesses often go bankrupt because they are poorly run and are not financially sustainable. That doesn't mean that we limit how much all businesses can spend simply because some organizations are poorly run. Oftentimes it's a good thing when businesses go bankrupt because it eliminates bad companies and inefficiencies in the marketplace and allows for markets to grow much smoother. As a result, new, more competitive organizations are established with better foundations and greater fiscal responsibility. Sports organizations are no different – there are often teams that cannot sustain themselves after several years and are forced to fold. We often look at this as unfortunate, but it can actually create new opportunities for other teams that are better run and more competitive.
Limiting the number of players that teams can pay won't fix teams with a shaky foundation. Those problems will always be there, regardless of whether they pay zero players or one hundred. However, if new teams are entering a league that has financially sound organizations that compete at the highest level, it encourages them to enter the league responsibly and with an efficient system in place. Limiting import players on the basis of financial concerns is more likely to have an adverse effect than a positive one.
This is factually untrue. It is because these sports leagues bring in the best international talent available that they are able to acquire investment and sponsorships from multinational brands and corporations, not the other way around. Multinational corporations simply don't support amateur teams – there is minimal return on investment. They want to invest in teams that have an international presence, bring in foreign big-name players, have exceptional local talent and coaches, and play at the highest level.
Similarly, fans are intrigued when a team is playing at a very high and/or professional level. Fans watch sports for entertainment, and they are most likely to be entertained by great competition at its highest level. Fans and corporations are where the real money comes from, but we can't attract them in the way we need to unless we're providing the best quality product we can put on the field.
If some organizations are financially superior to the rest of the teams in the league, find some method of taxing the amount they spend, not the number of players they pay. Introduce revenue sharing instead of eliminating competition. There is much more opportunity to encourage the growth of this game if we're innovating instead of remaining stagnant.
Let's move forward. Together.

In November 2015, they dropped a hydrophone to the Challenger Deep in of the deepest points in the ocean. This location is so deep that if Mount Everest was dropped at this point, the top would not reach the surface water.
The scientist could hear sounds of many marine animals and specifically whales. Whales are one of the loudest creatures, but scientists were still surpassed to hear them at this depth. They also hear ships passing over and also typhoons passing by.
"Yet there really is almost constant noise from both natural and man-made sources, said Robert Dziak from Oregon State University. "The sound of earthquakes dominates the ambient sound field at Challenger Deep, both near and far was well as the audible moans of baleen whales and the overwhelming clamor of a category 4-typhoon that just happened to pass overhead."
The noise has led to problems in some animals such as the sperm whale. They rely heavily on sounds to communicate, and the noise has led to them not being able to hear each other. Scientists are now predicting a drop in the whale population as this will result in increased difficulty in both hunting and mating.

Skinny is actually one of my favorite games. I just love everything about it.. like how the sounds and how it fits with the background and setting surrounding Skinny. My favorite content of the game are the backgrounds and areas that are being used for every part. This game is just wonderful, and i would never get tired of playing it over and over again.

|Interest Rate
|Monthly payment
For a mortgage to be approved, you have to fulfill the following conditions. You must have an account with the mortgage bank. You must have saved up to a certain percentage of the loan amount required. You must submit a mortgage application form, offer letter from the prospective seller, and title document of the property to be purchased. Also, you must provide proof of employment, proof of income and a copy of your life insurance policy.
The interest rate is the percentage of the principle charged for issuing the mortgage. With most mortgage providers, you're guaranteed an interest rate of 18% with the option to pay back your loan over a period of 15 years or less.
Refinancing options are available to known and trusted customers of the bank who have repayed previous loans when due. The documents to be supplied are the same as that of a mortgage.
A mortgage is a loan that buyers can use to purchase a property, and that is secured against the property itself. If buyers cannot repay the debt, then the lender takes possession of the property.
The total amount you can borrow usually depends on your debt-to-income ratio or credit score, which is determined by the borrower's ability to repay their debt and their credit history. The monthly payment should generally not be more than a third of the borrower's gross income.
Always use certified financial institutions, such as banks or credit unions, to avoid any scams.
The fees depend on the type of financial institution, but in addition to reimbursing the capital - the amount of money that was lent - borrowers usually need to pay interest every month that can be negotiated with the bank.
In a fixed-rate loan, the interest rate remains the same for the whole duration of the loan. In adjustable-rate mortgages, the rate varies depending on the economics and monetary policy of the country.
The lender may foreclose and seize the property, which will become their possession.
Usually no. However, if the amount of money needed is very high compared to your income or your capital, then financial institutions will ask you to take out mortgage insurance.
You should wait until you have a regular source of income to take out a mortgage. A period of high inflation is also usually beneficial for debt owners, since inflation reduces the debt burden in real terms, and debts are generally not indexed to inflation.
The more capital you bring, the lower your interest rate will be. Banks usually require a minimum amount of capital, often around 20 percent of the total amount of the loan.
Refinancing takes the current debt and changes its terms and conditions into an entire new different debt, with new obligations.

By Global Email Lists
The Client
The client has been a worldwide leader in diverse line-up of vehicles all over the world.
With its revolutionary efforts in the application of new technologies, the client is striving to
create outstanding global-friendly products.
The Scenario
The Scenario
The client's teleservices group was experiencing a difficulty in new customer prospecting
campaign which in turn led to reduced conversions, information loss and loss of revenue.
At the same time they were required to improve their campaign strategies and metrics
including contact information, proper management of data records and more clearly
communicate about special services and latest offers to customers.
Global Email Lists' worked closely with the teleservicing group to completely understand
their business challenges and that they need to upgrade their existing database with the
latest accurate contact information and technological features. Our Data Appending service
is by far the most robust data optimization tool that not only helped the client with valid
records of the prospective customers but also quick information processing. We have
helped them with the most appropriate campaign strategies and metrics with a deeper
understanding of consumers' characteristics by overlaying demographic information.
Furthermore,our data cleansing assisted them to manage all facets of quality data
management and newsletter campaign services gave them better visibility on the products
and services and special offers that subsequently saw unprecedented quarterly growth.
Based on our automated and integrated data solution, the client observed a massive growth
by the 1st quarter that gave them a global stand in the marketplace. Moreover, they grew by
20% in terms of revenue. Today, the client can easily access to a large number of
prospective customers without any geographical barriers saving time and money.
"We are extremely proud to be adding Global Email Lists to our growing array of value
added services for listed companies. With its website attracting such large numbers of daily

Enlarge / The rift in the Larsen C Ice Shelf, as seen in November 2016. (credit: John Sonntag/NASA)
Concluding a months-long deathwatch, one of the largest icebergs ever seen finally separated from Antarctica's Larsen C Ice Shelf sometime in the last couple days.
The 5,800-square-kilometer iceberg contains over a trillion tons of ice.
For years, researchers have been keeping an eye on a growing rift in the floating ice shelf that raced toward completion in recent months.
The last piece of the #LarsenC breakup is nicely shown in high resolution in #Sentinel1.
Farewell iceberg A68! @ESA_EO @MIDASOnIce pic.twitter.com/FUzZUlT4E8
— Stef Lhermitte (@StefLhermitte) July 12, 2017
The Larsen C Ice Shelf is composed of floating ice at the front of glaciers on the narrow Antarctic Peninsula.
The breaking off of icebergs from shelves—a process called "calving"—is normal, though icebergs of this size are obviously rare. While warmer water or air temperatures have been an important factor in controlling the size of many Antarctic ice shelves, there's no indication that climate change has played a significant role in the calving of this specific iceberg.
Because ice shelves are already floating, the melting of icebergs does not appreciably affect sea level (although there is a small contribution because melting icebergs dilute the saltiness of seawater).

Goods that are ready for order filling at pick-up locations are called active stock. To increase efficiency, waiting time of active stock should be kept as low as possible to ensure on time delivery to the customer.
Companies must ensure that they factor in demand variability in the right way to see that most of their working capital requirements are limited to Active stock and not spilling over to slow or dead stock.
Active stock helps in prevention of stock outs. The more the active stock, the lesser will be the probability of a stock out. But, again, active stock should be in right economic quantity or else it may suggest an inefficient supply chain of the company. The goal is to have the right material at the right place at the right time of right quality in the right quantity. Higher active stock will increase your working capital requirements without generating revenues.
Hence, this concludes the definition of Active Stock Goods along with its overview.

Excellent product
Review posted on 18 Aug 2016
I have been using this as an intra-workout for some time: I mix two scoops with 20 oz of water. It mixes well and tastes quite good too. It gives plenty of energy through the workout and never causes any digestion problems (I find that some supplements make me feel nauseous). Might seem quite expensive but even using double servings it lasts for 45 workouts so it works out cheaper than lots of sports drinks, one tub lasts ages.

Review posted on 24 Feb 2014
Excellent product, easily absorbed, quite refreshing lemonade flavoured drink. I particularly like to use fasted before and during my workout. I will order again and try with some glutamine.
A Great BCAA Product - Perfect Pre/Post Workout
Review posted on 23 Nov 2012
As I train fasted in the mornings I look for products which are calorie free and provide a boost for training. Purple Wraath covers both angles - one scoop pre and post workout (post mixed with creatine mono) makes a massive difference. It mixes easily and both flavours taste great. Yes it's expensive but it lasts a while and I find it more effective than Xtend or regular BCAA tabs. Highly recommended.
Review posted on 22 Oct 2012
I love this product, the grape is the best flavour though it doesn't compete taste wise vs xtend, it destroys is performance wise. The ingredients are unbeatable and I can happily train faster (16-18hours) perfectly! Can't go without it now :( which can be a little pricey. But at least it's the best priced out there for servings :) very happy. Taste:9 Performance:10 Price:6

1000 Islands Playhouse. "She Loves Me" sparkles
Reviewed by Connie Meng
Alison MacDonald. Photo: Jay Kopinski
The 1000 Islands Playhouse is running a wonderful production of the musical romantic comedy "She Loves Me." With music and lyrics by Jerry Bock and Sheldon Harnick, who also wrote, among other, "Fiddler on the Roof," and book by Joe Masteroff, it's always been a favorite of mine. Being a geezer, I saw the original Broadway production in the 60s and, since it's not often done, was really looking forward to this production. I was not disappointed. "She Loves Me" is just as much fun and as tuneful as I remembered.
The plot revolves around two co-workers in a parfumerie in 1930s Hungary who constantly squabble, unaware of the fact that they are each others' anonymous pen pals. Your imagination can take it from there.

Glengarry Glen Ross Hits the High Notes
Reviewed by Jamie Portman
Glengarry Glen Ross. Photo Maria Vartanova.
One wonders whether that born-again conservative, David Mamet, ever feels like disowning Glengarry Glen Ross, the play that won him the Pulitzer Prize for drama. Probably not, given that Mamet's exploration into the slimier recesses of capitalism continues to earn him hefty royalties.
Still, given Mamet's current political views, there's undeniable irony in the continuing power of Glengarry Glen Ross, particularly when it gets a production as good as the one served up by The Acting Company at the Gladstone. The show asserts its credentials immediately with that classic opening scene in a Chinese restaurant and the spectacle of a washed-up real estate salesman, a man whose best days are long gone, desperately trying to get back in the game.

Glengarry Glen Ross. David Mamet's play revived at The Gladstone in "classic Mamet Style".
Reviewed by Patrick Langston
Photo. Maria Vartanova
The story It's enough to make a life-long renter out of anyone. David Mamet's Glengarry Glen Ross, now in an electric revival at The Gladstone, spotlights the desperate, often viciously unethical goings-on at a testosterone-driven real estate office where clients' cheques, as opposed to their interests, motivate the motley gang of sales agents. With management amping up the pressure to make sales, the office descends into ever-worse lying, cheating, and a plot to steal leads and sell them to another agency: a microcosm, in other words, of human nastiness and spiritual barrenness circa the 1980s, all done up in classic and funny Mamet style.

Ottawa Fringe 2014. Portable #3 – Not Just another French Class
Reviewed by Jamie Portman
Alexander Gibson's one-man show about the trials and tribulations of an elementary school French teacher is one of the joys of the 2014 fringe. The script, written by Gibson and Matty Burns, is intelligent, funny and socially aware. And Gibson's performance, beginning with a breathless monologue (in rhyming couplets, no less) and continuing with a succession of comically illuminating moments, is a tour de force. The guy is a genuine charmer.

Ottawa Fringe 2014. Chase and Stacy Present Joyride
Reviewed by Jamie Portman
Normally, it would be enough to report that Joyride is a car wreck of a show, devoid of a modicum of true inventiveness. Trouble is, one of its co-creators is Oregon's Chase Padgett whose wonderful Six Guitars was a highlight of the 2014 Fringe. So one expects more from him than this witless piece of sophomoric excess. Padgett's partner in crime is an irritating bundle of mannerisms named Stacey Hallal. We first encounter her floundering about the stage like a beached whale while Padgett makes electronic sounds on a keyboard. Then she moves into the audience to portray an emotionally unstable pest who keeps disrupting Padgett's mind-reading session. By this point, we're discovering that the feebleness of a sketch's set-up is rendered even more feeble by the banality of the pay-off moment. Among other treats, if you can call them that, are the sounds of copulation — pants, groans and assorted shrieks perfomed in darkness to the accompaniment of further electronic noises — and the spectacle of a slack-jawed hillbilly repeatedly botching up a televised tribute to the wonders of the rutabaga. Oh well, there's nothing like mocking the lower orders to remind us of our own brilliance and superiority.

Ottawa Fringe 2014. Paco V Put To Sleep
Reviewed by Jamie Portman
There's a possible corpse in Martin Dockery's absurdist play, Paco V Put To Sleep, along with an ice cream salesman in a state of existential torment, and a pair of parents whose inexplicable emergence in son Dick's shabby apartment suggests they're in flight from something unspeakable.
No one's really connecting here — starting with the feckless Dick and the zombie-like Paco who are first encountered staring at an empty TV screen because they're incapable of dealing with the problem of a busted remote. That's not their only problem. They're out of food, and there are hints their electricity is about to be cut off. Their conversation goes beyond the random and the pointless and the surreal. Even shared cliches of speech, and there are many of those here, become an ineffectual glue to communication. That's also true of the other characters who eventually show up, talking over each other and past each other, while continuing to occupy their own malfunctioning limbos.
There's Pinter here and Ionesco and Beckett, a smidgeon of N.F. Simpson, even — for anyone who knows A Delicate Balance — a significant touch of Albee. Director Dave Dawson, working with a responsive cast, creates a fine fusion of sound and silence, managing the play's elusive rhythms and atmospherics with skill and understanding.
It's a quirky but rewarding hour of theatre — but why oh why can't the Fringe and Black Sheep Productions supply playgoers with a proper cast list? It's a recurring problem with the Fringe and an annoying one.

Ottawa Fringe 2014. Immolation
Reviewed by Alvina Ruprecht
Immolation. William Beddoes and Caitlin Corbett. Photo, Ottawa Fringe
A deeply passionate, romantic music announces a dramatic encounter between two lovers, that quickly opens the door to the world of Immortals, or vampires or any one of those indestructible mythological creatures who have been together for 5 000 years, who have been constantly reborn in a new shape, have adapted to new life and are still going strong. Their special extra-human status is played out as a long, sinister love story lived as a series of deadly, cruel rituals that cross through the most violent periods of history and give energy to their existence. In this enclosed room, humankinds most deadly moments are remembered as experiences of pure evil, only possible because these individuals are shaped by extraordinary circumstances that nothing can change. Or can it! Or more to the point, why should it? They are accountable to no one; they have no remorse, no guilt. But, is it really loves that binds them, or is it the need for ongoing vengeance, for the heightened pleasure of the sadomasochistic hunt.? The play sets up an interesting state of existence that is extra-human, where the choice of "evil "deeds becomes extremely attractive and opens up a new consciousness.

Ottawa Fringe 2014. Kitt and Jane. An interactive survival guide to the near-post-apolyptic future
Reviewed by Alvina Ruprecht
A show with mixed messages that seemed to be carried away by itself. 2 fourteen year olds in a grade 9 class are giving a talk about the salmon population and it rapidly becomes a training session to help us survive the coming apocalypse ( word not to be spoken!) of an earth that is dying , poisoned by toxic waste, and everything else. The whole list of those who are killing the planet comes down on us as the two children "play" at dying. Natural acting is indicated by mumbling and talking too quickly but there were images to watch if one couldn't catch all the words. A lot of theatrics, a lot of naïve childish playing, a lot of sophisticated computer work, tv influences, shadow puppets, technological support, an actress who dominates the stage with her beautiful singing voice and great stage presence, and an ending that completely subverts the message so all of it seems that we were the objects of a not so childish manipulation. It appeared that no one was in charge directing this. That might have helped.
And an audience that rose for a standing ovation??

Allstate Bringing 500 Jobs to Idaho with New Call CenterPost Views 13
Allstate Insurance said it will open a new $21.9 million customer information center in the Pocatello-Chubbuck area of Idaho. The nation's second largest home and auto insurer plans to hire more than 500 people to help consumers around the country who call Allstate though the company's 1-800-Allstate sales and service line.
Hiring for the center will begin in February 2011. Job postings will be available at www.allstate.jobs beginning Jan. 1. In addition, the company will announce dates for a series of recruiting events in the Pocatello-Chubbuck area.
The 75,000 square foot facility is scheduled to open in September 2011. Pitchford said calls will range from providing after-hours customer service for Allstate's local agencies to outbound customer calling.
Allstate considered several locations across the United States before choosing the Pocatello-Chubbuck area. The company says it specifically decided on the Pocatello-Chubbuck area because of its stable employee base, attractive cost of living and strong communities.
"The Pocatello-Chubbuck area is a terrific community that offers an enthusiastic and energetic population," said Allstate Vice President of Direct Sales and Service Mark Pitchford. "This center, along with our three existing facilities in San Antonio, Texas, Woodridge, Illinois, and Charlotte, North Carolina, work in partnership with Allstate's local agencies to take care of consumers."Allstate Bringing 500 Jobs to Idaho with New Call Center by Harrison Barnes

The CT is upon us, which means it's time for anybody and everybody to cough up random predictions about the 2016 World Title before settling back into a very long season of snide remarks about the WSL. I've heard a lot of people thinking it'll be Gabriel. A few for Julian. Fewer for John, and maybe even some about Jordy. Although that might've just been deja vu.
One prediction I haven't yet heard: Carissa Moore for the crown.
The reason, obviously, is because most people don't spend much time talking about women's surfing. The reason behind that is because most people don't spend much time watching women's surfing. And finally, the reason behind that is because it pales in comparison to men's.
Not Carissa's.
Watch this clip of her surfing Rincon. Is she as powerful as Conner? No. Does she have the flair of Dane? Nah. But is this the type of great surfing that stands alone and refuses to be categorized by gender? I'd say. That's why I'll be watching the Women's CT this year, and most likely watching Carissa win everything. I'd bet my whole $374 on it. All of em.

NEW boy Steven Fletcher is expecting a tough test when Sunderland visit Swansea City on Saturday.
Fletcher is now in contention to make his league debut for the Cats after successfully coming through his debut in the Capital One Cup win over Morecambe on Tuesday night.
The powerful Scot expects a stern test against Michael Laudrup's men, who have won their opening two games.
He added: "Swansea are a good side and I'm looking forward to it.
"I'm not really surprised by how well they've done so far. You saw them last year and they played some good football.
"They've just kind of kicked on from there. They've got a new manager, but it's more or less the same team.
"Obviously, they've proved they can score goals over the first two games, but then so can we."

Works in Which Copyright Subsists :
Section 13 of the Copyright Act provides that copyright shall subsist throughout India in certain classes of works which are enumerated in the section. Copyright subsists throughout India in the following classes of works:
• Original literary, dramatic, musical and artistic works;
• Cinematograph films; and
• Sound recordings.
In Macmillan and Company Limited v. K. and J. Cooper, AIR 1924 PC 75, it was held that the word 'original' does not mean that the work must be the expression of original or inventive thought. Copyright Acts are not concerned with the origin of ideas, but with the expression of thought; and in the case of 'literary work, with the expression of thought in print or writing. The originality which is required relates to the expression of the thought; but the Act does not require that the expression must be in an original or novel form, but that the work must not be copied from another work—that it should originate from the author. What is the precise amount of the knowledge, labour, judgement or literary skill or taste which the author of any book or other compilation must bestow upon its composition in order to acquire copyright in it within the meaning of the Copyright Act cannot be defined in precise terms. In every case it must depend largely on the special facts of that case, and must in each case be very much a question of degree.
In Camlin Private Limited v. National Pencil Industries, (2002) Del, Delhi High Court held that copyright subsists only in an original literary work. But it is not necessary that the work should be the expression of the original or inventive thought, for Copyright Act are not concerned with the originality of ideas, but with the expression of thought, and in the case of a literary work, with the expression of thought in print or writing. Originality for the purpose of copyright law relates to the expression of thought, but such expression need not be original or novel. The essential requirement is that the work must not be copied from another work but must originate from the author.
An artistic work means-
• a painting, a sculpture, a drawing (including a diagram, map, chart or plan), an engraving or a photograph, whether or not any such work possesses artistic quality;
• a work of architecture; and
• any other work of artistic craftsmanship.
Word "artistic" is merely used as a generic term to include the different processes of creating works set out in the definition section and that provides that a work produced by one such processes, and that its creation involved some skill or labour on the part of the artist, it is protected [Associated Publishers (Madras) Ltd. v. K. Bashyam alias 'Arya' & Another AIR 1961 Mad. 114 (1962) 1 Mad LJ 258].
What is required for copyright protection in an artistic work is 'originality'. It is not originality of idea or the theme behind the work but the expression of the work which requires to be original. The originality required as per the Act is a minimum amount of originality. What is prevented under the Copyright Act is making of copies without permission of the author. A copy is one which is either a reproduction of the original or a work which closely resembles the original [Challenger Knitting Mills v. Kothari Hosery Factory 2002 PTC (24) 756 Del. (Reg.)].
"Musical work" means a work consisting of music and includes any graphical notation of such work but does not include any words or any action intended to be sung, spoken or performed with the music. A musical work need not be written down to enjoy copyright protection.
"Sound recording" means a recording of sounds from which sounds may be produced regardless of the medium on which such recording is made or the method by which the sounds are produced. A phonogram and a CD-ROM are sound recordings.
"Cinematograph film" means any work of visual recording on any medium produced through a process from which a moving image may be produced by any means and includes a sound recording accompanying such visual recording and "cinematograph" shall be construed as including any work produced by any process analogous to cinematography including video films.
The expression "cinematograph film" in Section 2(f) of the Copyright Act, 1957 includes video film also which has been recorded in VCR. Entertaining Enterprises & Others v. State of Tamil Nadu & Another AIR 1984 Mad. 278.
The Bombay High Court in Fortune Films International v. Dev Anand & Another AIR 1979 Bom.17, has held that in view of the definitions of "artistic work", "dramatic work" and cinematograph film", it would appear that the Copyright Act, 1957 does not recognize the performance of an actor as 'work' which is protected by the Copyright Act.

* China spot yuan drops below guidance rate first time since 2012
* Aussie dollar dips 0.3 percent
* Dollar looking to data for clues on U.S. recovery
* Wait for inflation data hampers any push higher for euro
By Patrick Graham
LONDON, Feb 25 (Reuters) - The Australian dollar fell around a third of a percent on Tuesday, handing back overnight gains as a fall in China's yuan deepened, reflecting concern over growth and moves by the People's Bank of China to prod the currency lower.
The Aussie is the nearest developed world currency to a proxy for growth in China, which takes much Australia's commodities output.
The fall still left the Aussie around $0.9011, more than 2 percent above lows against the U.S. dollar hit late last month. Other major currencies traded within recent ranges.
"It's hard to know what the knock-on effect of the yuan drop will be, because the market is unsure as to what's the driver - is it the PBOC curbing speculation, increased political tensions between the U.S. and China, or something else?" said Vincent Crimmins, head of FX strategy and trading at the Bank of Ireland in Dublin.
"For now it appears to be relatively contained, but the Aussie would be the likely underperformer should it materialise into something of significance, with the dollar and the yen the likely outperformers."
Daragh Maher, a strategist at Asia-focused HSBC, played down the prospect of a deeper sell-off of the Aussie linked to the yuan move, at least for now.
But he said western players, for whom the steady rise of the yuan has been one of the few certainties in global foreign exchange markets in recent years, may have to reassess.
After falling another half a percent overnight, offshore rates for the yuan found some support around 6.1270 to the dollar. The spot yuan rate earlier fell below the official mid-point rate for the first time since September 2012, amid speculation the central bank may have intervened in preparation for a doubling of its trading band.
"Overnight the Aussie looked to be leading Asia against a weaker dollar, once that began to reverse the Aussie came back," Maher said.
"But I don't think for now this is any kind of a capital outflow story. A sharp adjustment of the yuan spot rate is happening but I don't think it represents a fundamental reassessment of how China is doing."
After a batch of weaker U.S. data largely blamed on the weather, another reason for stalemate on major currencies is the prospect of a first estimate of euro zone February inflation on Friday.
Recent months' numbers have seen price growth sliding below 1 percent, strengthening the case for more action by the European Central Bank to provoke growth.
Many players who began the year believing more ECB easing and the U.S. Federal Reserve's reining in of its own stimulus would gave the dollar a lift are reconsidering.
But few seem prepared to bet on a stronger euro ahead of the inflation number, forecast to inch down to 0.7 percent.
"We remain skewed towards a stronger euro," said Paul Robson, senior desk strategist at RBS in London.
"The Fed continues to add to its balance sheet, even if it is doing so at a slower rate, while the ECB's is still contracting. You might get some drop off in the euro if the ECB takes more action, but if you look at the correlation of exchange rates to interest rates over the past 18 months it hasn't been that close."
The dollar index stood at 80.114, nearly flat on the day and near the middle of its range in the past week. The dollar edged down about 0.1 percent to 102.37 yen. The euro was up 0.1 percent at $1.3750.

Forest Alert Trailer (1999)
31 January 1999 Factual 70 mins
We tend to see the forest as infinite, eternal. But this precious resource, once thought to be inexhaustible, is under threat. Forest Alert breaks through the silence and ignorance surrounding current forestry practices and questions our collective responsibility for the destruction of Quebec's rich timberlands. The script is typical of acclaimed Quebec singer/songwriter Richard Desjardins: strong words, striking imagery, paradoxes that challenge how our forests are managed. Opinions are firmly held and diametrically opposed. There are those who cherish this precious legacy and are worried about our exploitation of it. There are those, in government and industry, who swear that the forest will be preserved for future generations. Citing the concerns of professional foresters, the film is a direct attack on the depredation of what should be a sustainable resource. Forest Alert asks the ultimate question: Are our forests in good hands? In French with English subtitles.

Every now and again, while tending to Ye Olde SoccerPro Shoppe, I look at the wall of soccer balls and think, "man, what if those were Texas sized?" Then I remember, we have a Texas sized ball right in the shop with the Select Grande Trainer ball! I bet three full size 5 balls could fit inside this bad boy, so long as you cut one ball in half and distribute it properly. When parents and kids come in the shop, both take notice of the ball. Kids think it's cool because it's awesomely huge, and parents dig it because it's awesomely goofy. For me, it falls somewhere along that spectrum.
For the technical stuff, the ball has a PU casing and latex bladder construction and blahbity blahbity—it's just as well constructed as any other ball, but Select had the cojones to make a ball brilliantly huge. Speaking of brilliant, the visual design of this ball is the same as the rest of Select's Brilliant Super line. Each hexagonal plate is stitched together and is outlined by shapes that I can only describe as "Asteroid ships." I mean the game, not the ship from the truly epic Bruce Willis and Ben Affleck cinematic masterpiece.
Do I think this ball would be great for dodgeball? Nope. Kids would be visiting the hospital too often. Is it great for four-square? I doubt it. It doesn't bounce high enough or lend itself to being slapped very much. What do I suggest you do with this ball? Get a few friends together, and take it to the park. Spread really far apart, and then bomb this sucker to one another. You'll definitely impress some fellow park-goers. Who knows, this soccer ball could be a soccer version of taking your puppy to the park. Sure, it's $43.99 per ball, but can you really put a price on impressing people and potentially snagging a date? I don't think so.
