text: Hi, I have a strange problem. I'm doing a closed track to use in rFactor and RBR, in rFactor I don't have problems, but in RRB I can play only for exactly 12.99 seconds and it say I finish. I tried to change positions of the start, end, finish, checkpoints... But nothing, only sometimes don't finish in 12.99s but finish in random location of the track. I tried to delete fast line, center line, etc. But don't solve the problem. It is a bug? Or I'm doing something wrong?

The American Psychological Association (APA) defined the practice of Clinical Neuropsychology in 1996, and recently re-approved the definition in 2003. Although another revision is in the works, the current version states (APA, 2003):
"Clinical neuropsychology is a specialty that applied principles of assessment and intervention based upon the scientific study of human behavior as it relates to normal and abnormal functioning of the central nervous system. The specialty is dedicated to enhancing the understanding of brain-behavior relationships and the application of such knowledge to human problems."
The National Academy of Neuropsychology (NAN) expanded on APA Division 40 criteria to define the role and duties of a neuropsychologist (NAN, 2001):
"A clinical neuropsychologist is a professional within the field of psychology with special expertise in the applied science of brain-behavior relationships. Clinical neuropsychologists use this knowledge in the assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and/or rehabilitation of patients across the lifespan with neurological, medical, neurodevelopmental and psychiatric conditions, as well as other cognitive and learning disorders. The clinical neuropsychologist uses psychological, neurological, cognitive, behavioral, and physiological principles, techniques and tests to evaluate patients' neurocognitive, behavioral, and emotional strengths and weaknesses and their relationship to normal and abnormal central nervous system functioning. The clinical neuropsychologist uses this information and information provided by other medical/healthcare providers to identify and diagnose neurobehavioral disorders, and plan and implement intervention strategies. The specialty of clinical neuropsychology is recognized by the American Psychological Association and the Canadian Psychological Association. Clinical neuropsychologists are independent practitioners (healthcare providers) of clinical neuropsychology and psychology."
A neuropsychologist must meet four minimum criteria:

Ok, got it
Upon admission to our institution the patient was haemodynamically stable, with blood pressure of 180/100mmHg and heart rate of 73 beats/min. Apart from cachexia no other abnormality was revealed by the physical examination. Her family history was not suggestive of familiar form of cardiomyopathy. ECG showed sinus rhythm with normal PQ and QT intervals, normal QRS width and voltage criteria of LV hypertrophy.
Echocardiographic examination demonstrated non-dilated (end-diastolic diameter 45mm) LV with diffuse hypokinesis with moderate systolic dysfunction (ejection fraction 43%) and restrictive pattern of LV filling. Concentric LV hypertrophy was present (interventricular septum and posterior wall 15 and 16 mm, respectively) ( Figure 1) . Both atria were dilated. The right ventricle was non-dilated but hypertrophic (free wall thickness 7mm). Severe pulmonary hypertension was suspected based on tricuspid regurgitation peak gradient. There were no significant valvular abnormalities. Small pericardial effusion was found.
Cardiac MRI examination confirmed the presence of concentric hypertrophy of the LV and moderate systolic dysfunction due to diffuse hypokinesis. T2- weighted imaging did not reveal signs of myocardial oedema. Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) was present in subepicardial to midmyocardial part of the inferior wall (Figure 2).
Coronary angiography excluded any coronary artery pathology and right heart catheterization detected postcapillary pulmonary hypertension (pulmonary artery mean pressure 35 mmHg, wedge pressure 20 mmHg).
Chest X-ray revealed no significant pathology and ultrasound of the abdomen and pelvis detected only mild hepatomegaly. Laboratory examinations showed elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (FW 52 mm/h).CRP and blood count were within normal ranges. Minerals, glucose, urea, creatinine, liver enzymes and thyroid hormones were normal. There was no abnormality regarding the urine examination. Tumor markers were not elevated.
1) Can we make the final diagnosis based on the above cited results?
2) If not, which examination would you recommend to perform further?
1) Can we make the final diagnosis based on the above cited results?
According to patient's history and results of ECG, echo, MRI and cardiac catheterization, our patient suffers from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with moderate systolic dysfunction and severe diastolic dysfunction (restrictive filling pattern). Moreover, history of weight loss of unknown origin is present. Based on this information we assumed that this lady with the history of rheumatoid arthritis might have an infiltrative cardiomyopathy such as cardiac amyloidosis.
2) If not, which examination would you recommend to perform further?
In order to elucidate the cause of weight loss and to clarify the underlying myocardial process we decided to perform upper and lower gastrointestinal tract (GIT) endoscopies and take multiple biopsies. The patient underwent colonoscopy with rectal biopsy and no pathology was revealed. The upper GIT endoscopy found signs of gastritis and edema of the D2 part of duodenum. Biopsy taken from the stomach detected only mild form of chronic gastritis but in the biopsy obtained from the duodenum amyloid was described. The intestinal sample with amyloid was analyzed by immunohistochemistry and the diagnosis of AA amyloidosis was confirmed. Based on the detection of AA amyloidosis we suppose our patient is having hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with restrictive physiology due to AA type of cardiac amyloidosis.
Amyloidosis is a disorder caused by extracellular deposition of insoluble abnormal fibrils, derived from aggregation of misfolded normally soluble protein. Cardiac amyloidosis represents heart involvement caused by interstitial amyloid deposition (1). Heart impairment is usually associated with AL amyloidosis or transthyretin forms of amyloidosis (2). AA amyloidosis (secondary amyloidosis) represents a rather rare cause of cardiac amyloidosis and heart involvement is present in less than 10% of patients (3). AA amyloidosis results from the accumulation of amyloid A fibrils formed from an acute phase reactant, serum amyloid A protein. This type of amyloidosis is usually associated with rheumatoid arthritis, Mediterranean fever, inflammatory bowel disease and chronic infections of different origins. Kidneys and GIT are frequently involved and renal impairment usually dominates. Heart involvement is typically clinically insignificant (4,5). In order to make the definite diagnosis of AA amyloidosis biopsy is needed. Apart from endomyocardial biopsy less invasive tissue sampling methods like GIT biopsy may be performed. To our knowledge the exact benefit of GIT biopsies for detection of cardiac AA amyloidosis remains uncertain. On the other hand GIT biopsies are very useful for patients with chronic kidney disease and suspicion on renal involvement caused by AA amyloidosis. In such patients duodenal biopsy seems to be more relevant than e.g. rectal or gingival biopsy (6). In AA amyloidosis the treatment of underlying process is essential.

I am worried of failure- The real information roughly life is if you haven't failing you haven't lived it. Victory becomes more tingling if you have missing past. All the very good relations we have witnessed for the period of past did fail. But the unlikeness linking them and a rampant man is they proved once more turn over they succeeded.

Ik-Kil Cenote – Mexico
The Ik Kil Cenote is located a roughly two miles from the famed Chichen Itza ruins. Around 120 foot deep, Ik Kil has awe-inspiring characteristics, where the sunlight from 85 feet above filters through holes in the ground and rich green vegetation. A staircase meanders down into the sanctuary allowing visitors to wade through the azure waters. Known as "the Sacred Blue Cenote", the fresh water is an unusual clear turquoise blue and is always at a comfortable 26 Celcius. Ik Kil is a wonderful fusion of land and water that can occur over millions of years.
Kawasan Falls – The Philippines
This breathtaking landmark is located south of Moalboal. Although the water at the falls are icy cold, it is quite refreshing. Tourists can rent bamboo rafts with guided tours. At Kawasan Falls, it is actually recommended that you make use of the guided tours as the trek from the water to the falls can be very tricky. But once there, you will be amazed by the sheer enormity of this natural landmark. The guides typically manoeuvre rafts to pass under some rocks then under the falls. Once you reach the falls, you can actually experience the most natural shower you'll ever encounter – but beware – the water is very cold and the downpour quite harsh, so sensitive tourists should perhaps stick to capturing the beauty on film!

Yesterday and last night we had a major winter storm. The day started out with light snow. Then it moved to rain. We had over one inch of rain before it turned back to snow/ice over the night.
This is what Jon and Lisa woke up to:
You can see the weight of the ice damaged some trees and a river is running through the back yard. Some of our calves got spooked last night and were out this morning. We are not sure what happened, but the sound of the breaking trees might have done it. Also, our dog, Boo, completely chewed through the wall in our mud room.
A kind of day like today calls for only one thing:

Consumer discovers Taco Bell not as bad for you as expected; sues
File under one more reason this country has brought its troubles on itself—a California woman is suing Taco Bell because she says their beef doesn't have enough beef in it.
[The lawsuit] says Taco Bell's ground beef is made of such components as water, isolated oat product, wheat oats, soy lecithin, maltodextrin, anti-dusting agent, autolyzed yeast extract, modified corn starch and sodium phosphate, as well as some beef and seasonings.# p #2_7 # ad skipped = true #
Wheat oats? Soy lecithin? Oat product?! It seems that if you eat these tacos, especially if some cornmeal sneaks in through the tortilla, you run an alarming chance of having a bowel movement within a month from the scary amounts of fiber your body has absorbed through these poisonous plant products. No wonder she's so upset. Taco Bell's products are not destroying the environment fast enough. There's 70% more room there to create more demand for cheap beef that could help usher in global warming while reducing clean water supplies and arable land available for farming direct to consumer vegetables. And where does this all end? Will fast food joints starting putting actual green vegetables in their food? Horrors.
I'm sorry that America learned today that you learned you actually like the taste of soy products. I know how traumatic that can be. I've seen small children, greedily eating a food they claimed to dislike but that has been served to them in disguise, only to be told what it was, which required spitting it out and saying, "Gross!" We, as a nation, are this small child, or at least that's how it seems from the breathless coverage this scandal has been given in the news. We can't see ourselves as people who eat soy. It's gross. No matter how much we like it.
I'm not actually even defending Taco Bell's alleged ingredients, many of which break the basic rules about telling "food" from "non-food" laid out by the likes of Michael Pollan, Mark Bittman, and Marion Nestle. But the issue that's driving this is that there isn't enough beef in the tacos, and no so much that there are all these non-food chemicals in them that are used ostensibly to make the food more appealing. The only real surprise is literally that the tacos don't come with as much beef and its accompanying saturated fat as assumed. The betrayal runs deep; apparently we hope to be clogging our arteries with haste when we eat there. I'm not sure there's any way to see this other than as another sign of the decline of a once-great nation.
Plus, it's not like you can't add cheese if you're falling a little short of your saturated fat goals for the day.
What's fascinating is that in all the alarm over this, there has basically been no discussion over the fact that places like Taco Bell have this disgusting, bad-for-you food, and then they price it so low that it becomes extra appealing, particularly to people who don't have the privilege of living in a place with better access to healthy food. And that, in turn, contributes to our massive health problems that are killing people and driving up health care costs. Instead, everyone's just going to be appalled for a day that it's got a little more vegetable matter than they initially supposed.

Andrew Rose, the British sailor
Now to you his woes I'll name
'Twas on the passage from Barbados
Whilst on board the Mary Jane.
Wasn't that most cruel usage
Without a friend to interpose?
How they've whipped and mangled,
Gagged and strangled
The British sailor, Andrew Rose.
2. 'Twas on the quarter-deck they laid him,
3. 'Twas up aloft the Captain sent him
4. The captain gave him stuff to swallow;
Stuff to you I will not name,
Whilst the crew got sick with horror,
While on board the Mary Jane.
5. 'Twas in a water-cask they put him;
6. For twenty days they did ill-use him,

Florida was dubbed after the Spanish name for Palm Sunday.
Massachusetts derived its name from the language of the Algonquian people who lived in the area.
Most would think that every state's moniker has a relevant and explicable meaning, but — according to the Idaho Almanac — the state Idaho is named after an invented word.
George M. Willing invented the word Idaho in 1860 and claimed its origin to be from Native American language with the meaning "Gem of the Mountain." Willing was originally trying to convince Congress to use the word as the name for a territory in Colorado, but they soon discovered the word to be fabricated.
However, the word traveled and several years later made its way into another Congress decision. This time the decision was to adjust the boundaries around the Territory of Montana. Idaho officially became the name of a state in 1890, close to 30 years after President Lincoln signed the bill.

My boyfriends mum booked me an appointment with her nail technician for a shape and paint manicure job. This is my first time and as I am trying to book my course to study Nail Technology it seems like a good idea that I go and experience it for myself! Here is the result:
I was a little disappointed if the truth be told, I picked a pretty purple OPI (name still unknown) but the paint job didn't seem great to me. I know I tend to over paint and not leave that tidy 'pro' gap around my cuticles but this seemed the opposite. So the next day I added some studs from Born Pretty (which I will be reviewing soon) to distract myself from the polish underneath!

Generating Demand NORTH AMERICA Transformation Worldwide
Business Transformation insights from IBM Canadian Business Partners
A month ago, IBM Canada hosted its second IBM Business Transformation Workshop with IBM Business Partners in Toronto and what a great turnout it was—we had a room filled with CEOs, CFOs and sales executives.
The Business Transformation workshop, presented by ChannelCorp, confirmed to us that many of you, as IBM Business Partners, are recognizing that your customers are demanding new ways to consume technology. The workshop also raised a lot of interesting questions. As IBMers, our role is to help you on this transformation journey so you remain economically viable (we want and need a healthy channel) and are able to successfully sell IBM "as-a-service" offerings under various business models.
Business Transformation speaks loudly to all roles within a company—and depending on where you are on your journey, you may find that you are asking yourselves some of these questions today:
- As a CEO, what is the impact to my business if I don't invest in Cloud/software as a service (SaaS)?
- As a sales executive, are my sales teams comfortable in selling SaaS, and can they engage in an elevator pitch on our value proposition?
- As a CFO, have I looked into IBM Global Financing Solutions to provide the financial flexibility I need?
- As a marketer, have I started putting a digital marketing plan in place that will support our business transformation to reach these new customers?
Here are some of the key insights and takeaways from our Canadian IBM Business Partners that attended the most recent workshop:
"Since its inception, Knowledge Providers Inc. has been focused on delivering value to our customers, employees and Business Partners. The current and future value of the SaaS component of our business is and will be two to four times higher than our traditional on-premises software sales model. In order to increase the long-term value for our company, we must migrate to this model as soon as possible." — Benny Cohen, President, Knowledge Providers Inc.
"The premise of the workshop was structured on the development of building business using other revenue models apart from the traditional VAR strategies. In particular, the discussion of Cloud revenue was solidifying as My Blue Umbrella was able to develop our cloud practice well over a decade ago with the recent adaptation of IBM® PureFlex® a few years back. I particularly enjoy the keynote's view on the rate of return and the time frame of those returns, which allowed me to see where our shortfalls were and immediately develop a new plan to rectify our current growth strategy. It's incredible what a single-day event with key-driven consultants can do to assist business strategy and developments.

Science Expo
Science takes things apart to see how they work. Religion puts things together to see what they mean. – Rabbi Jonathan Sacks.
Kol hakavod to our 8th grade students on a fascinating Science Expo! Students gave divrei Torah about the impact of science on halacha and then presented their experiments to guests. Projects included making sugar crystals, testing baking soda and slime, and a marble run. A special thank you to Mrs. Chopra for coordinating this enjoyable and educational event.

Saipem has been awarded new offshore contracts worth approximately $700 million. The amount refers to newly awarded contracts for activities to be carried out between 2011 and 2014, in the Gulf of Mexico, and in Kazakhstan, alongside other works in the North Sea and Azerbaijan. It also includes increases in the scope of work on existing offshore contracts.
In the US sector of the Gulf of Mexico, Saipem has been awarded the contract for the Walker Ridge export pipeline, in the framework of the development of the Jack and Saint Malo (JSM) fields, by Amberjack Pipeline Company LLC, a partnership between Chevron Pipe Line Company and Shell Pipeline Company LP, located approximately 450 kilometres (280 miles) south of New Orleans, Louisiana, in the Walker Ridge area of the US Gulf.
The scope of work encompasses the transportation and installation of a crude oil export pipeline, 61 cm (24 inches) in diameter, which will have a length of 220 kilometres (136 miles), reaching a maximum water depth of 2,140 metres (7,000 feet), connecting the JSM Floating Production Unit. The marine activities will be performed by the new-built pipelayer vessel Castorone in different timeframes, beginning in the first quarter 2013.
The contract represents the first award for Castorone, the pipelayer vessel currently under construction. The Castorone is designed to lay large-diameter pipelines up to 152 cm (60 inches) (including coating). It will be 330 metres (1,083 feet) in length, 39 metres (128 feet) wide and will be equipped with a dynamic positioning system DP3.
In Kazakhstan, Saipem signed an extension of the contract with Agip KCO for the installation of the offshore facilities system relating to the experimental phase of the Kashagan field development programme ('Kashagan Piles and Flares').
The contract, which has been extended to December 2011, encompasses the fabrication, assembly, transport and installation of the flares and of the piles sustaining the offshore structures, along with the installation of 14 module barges. Included in the scope of work are also the procurement, fabrication and installation of associated mooring, protection and interconnection structures.
The offshore activities are executed by the vessel Ersai 1, a construction barge built specifically for the scope of the project. The piles, flares and other structures are fabricated in the Ersai's Kuryk yard in Kazakhstan, in which Saipem has a 50% interest.

After the death of Robert Edwards, one of the British doctors who perfected in vitro fertilization (IVF), earlier this year, Miriam Zoll took a look at the legacy of third party reproduction, specifically the often overlooked numbers of failed treatments associated with these invasive technologies.
In 2012, according to the European Society of Embryology and Reproduction, 1.5 million ART cycles were conducted globally and 1.1 million failed (76.7 percent). In 2010 in the United States, data from the Centers for Disease Control indicate that 150,000 cycles were performed and 103,000 failed (68.6 percent). While the minority of grateful patients who do become parents celebrate Edwards' legacy, the severe trauma of those fragile-hearted millions who experienced failed treatments, miscarriages, still births or emptied ovaries too often slip unnoticed into the mists of unrecorded history.
Reproductive medicine is still a young science. Many women signing up for treatments do not realize until later the extent to which they are participating in a vast experiment, where evidence-based medicine has yet to establish a reasonable foothold. Few, if any, longitudinal studies have been conducted to determine the health risks of women undergoing treatments and the babies born from them.
Babies conceived through IVF who are lucky enough to survive to birth have a much higher risk of developing genetic diseases and chromosomal abnormalities. As for the women, Zoll notes that risks include elevated rates of preeclampsia and blood clotting as well as ovarian, endometrial, and breast cancers. Then there are the sometimes extremely debilitating mental disorders when treatments fail, as they often do, especially for older women.
Many women who delay motherhood are often depending on fertility treatments as a safety net for building a family later in life. Most wholeheartedly believe—and the mainstream media and popular culture confirm their beliefs with premature optimism—that they will easily become pregnant after their first IVF treatment, or that the eggs they freeze for $18,000 at age 35 will mingle with sperm at 45 and blossom into a healthy baby. The fact is, roughly only 1,000 babies have been born through the new egg freezing technology known as vitrification—and mostly to mothers younger than 30. There is virtually no medical evidence supporting the notion that women in their thirties and forties will have any success at all with this costly intervention, or that the babies born from it will be healthy.
The baby-making industry is a multi-billion dollar global market that makes many people very rich at the exploitation of others. This includes not only the men and women who are used as hardware stores for spare baby-making parts, but also vulnerable couples who, feeling the pain of infertility, are fed myths about the wonders of modern reproductive science.

How risky is the dog when it comes to housebreaking? I personally don't same to unsoiled up dog messes. Some dogs are irrational to train.

[Apologies to Mike C -- retransmission to the comments list] The W3C XML Schema Working Group has spent the last weeks and months working through the comments received from the public on the Candidate Recommendation (CR) of the XML Schema specification. We thank you for the comments you made on our specification during our CR comment period, and want to make sure you know that all comments received during the CR comment period have been recorded in our CR issues list ( http://www.w3.org/2000/12/xmlschema-crcomments.html). You raised the point registered as issue CR-22: Issue Title: Allow negative scale? You specifically said in your note [1]: "Currently the scale of decimal numbers is restricted to be zero or positive. It is requested that this restriction be removed (that is, in 188.8.131.52 the value of scale must be an integer, not a nonNegativeInteger) for the following reasons: "a) The current specification allows the representation of very small numbers (for example 1E-100) but does not permit the efficient representation of even moderately large numbers (for example 13 billion, or 13E+9), even though such numbers are common in commerce. Allowing positive exponents (negative scales) will correct the specification so both large and small numbers can be represented equally efficiently." First may I note a possible misunderstanding underlying your request: the lexical form of decimals with a positive scale does _not_ differ from those with (implicit) 0 scale. In other words <elt value="3"/> always represents the value 3, regardless of the value of the scale facet of the type associated with the 'value' attribute. It follows that the asymmetry you describe in (a) above does not exist: the situation is worse than you thought :-). In its discussions the WG considered quite seriously whether we should therefore not only allow negative scale, but also interpret positive scale in the way you evidently thought it was already interpreted. In the end the WG decided that on balance the ease of representation which such a change would allow did not outweigh the substantial loss of transparency which would result. There is sentiment in the WG towards allowing some form of exponential notation for decimals in future, but it would be explicit in instances (e.g. value="3E-10"), not implicit in type definitions. It would be helpful to us to know whether you are satisfied with the decision taken by the WG on this issue, or wish your dissent from the WG's decision to be recorded for consideration by the Director of the W3C. Thanks again for your input, and I apologise for letting this reply slip down my stack to the point it has been unhelpfully delayed, ht [1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-xml-schema-comments/2000OctDec/0314 -- Henry S.

PARIS (Reuters) - Taylor Townsend was so wrapped up preparing for her own match at the French Open she did not realize that her fellow American, world No. 1 Serena Williams, had lost.
The exits of the Williams sisters, defending champion Serena and her elder sister Venus, in the second round was the big story on Wednesday.
Townsend, 18 and playing in her first grand slam singles, was asked how it felt to win on the same court where hours earlier Serena had lost.
"Serena lost? She did? Oh, oops. Whoa," the world number 205 exclaimed.
'Seriously, you didn't know?' she was asked.
"No, I thought she won. I saw (6-)2 and (6-)2. I was like 'Oh, that was fast'," added Townsend.
"Wow. Anyways ... Um, wow, that was interesting."
Townsend wrote her own headlines by beating 20th seed Alize Cornet of France 6-4 4-6 6-4 to reach the third round.

When considering whether or not to invest in solar panels, the homeowner should remember that there are a variety of solar panel incentives and grants available to encourage increased reliance on solar energy.
Purchasing and installing solar panels on your home or business is an excellent method of reducing your electricity costs in the long run.
It was a suggestion to use solar technology on the Vanguard I satellite that gave solar technology one last break for freedom in the world.
In the hunt for cheap electricity, the public and private acceptance of using wind, water and solar energy structures is growing. The technology behind harnessing natural energy is in a constant state of progress, taking wide and steady steps into innovation.

Conversion: Limited Liability Partnerships
Limited Liability Partnerships were introduced by the Limited Liability Partnerships Act 2000. BIM72110 contains more details on LLPs (LLM10000). Tax rules on LLPs are in ICTA88/118ZA onwards, and in ITTOIA05/S863.
Lloyd's admitted LLPs as members with effect from 7 December 2005. The first LLP members of Lloyd's participated in the 2007 underwriting year.
Tax rules for Lloyd's LLPs
SI2006/111 amended the 1997 Regulations on SLPs (SI1997/2681 - see LLM6060) so that they apply to 'Lloyd's partnerships', with effect from 14 February 2006. A Lloyd's partnership is a member of Lloyd's that is either a SLP or a LLP formed under the Limited Liability Partnerships Act 2000 or the Limited Liability Partnerships (Northern Ireland) Act 2002. The 1997 Regulations were renamed the Lloyd's Underwriters (Partnerships) Tax Regulations.
The effect of the 2006 changes is that the Regulations now apply to Lloyd's LLPs in the same way that they apply to Lloyd's SLPs, with the exception of the treatment of 'earned income'. This in turn means that the normal tax rules that apply to partnerships, subject to the adaptations set out in the Regulations, apply to all Lloyd's partnerships.
The conversion relief rules in FA93/SCH20A (LLM6160) were also amended (in SI2006/112) so that they apply to LLPs as well as to SLPs, also with effect from 14 February 2006.
'Earned income'
'Under Review'
Loss relief
The rules which limit loss relief of a limited partnership member to the amount of the member's capital contribution (LLM6090) apply similarly to LLP members. There are further restrictions to limit the amount of loss relief for 'non-active' members of LLPs. However, these further restrictions do not apply to the underwriting business of a Lloyd's Name.
The limit on the amount of sideways relief (ITA07/S64 and ITA07/S72) and capital gains relief (ITA07/S71) introduced by FA07/SCH4/PARA1 as ITA07/S103C does not apply to partners in a partnership which is a member of Lloyd's - ITA07/S103C (8).
Tax relief for interest on borrowings
ICTA88/S362 (2)(a) denies tax relief to limited partners in SLPs and members of investment LLPs on interest paid on amounts borrowed to buy into the partnership. Limited partners in Lloyd's SLPs cannot therefore get tax relief for such interest, but this restriction does not apply to members of Lloyd's LLPs, which are trading, not investment, LLPs.

The Northwestern University hospital unit No. 12, which was organized under the direction of the Red Cross several months ago, yesterday received orders from Surgeon General Gorgas of the United States army to prepare to leave Chicago for the east at a moment's notice. Twenty-three doctors, two dentists and fifty graduate nurses have already been sworn into service of the United States army. The remainder of the 196 which make up a complete unit will take the oath immediately, according to Dr. Frederic A. Besley, who is the director of the unit. The nurses' aides, orderlies, sergeants, and privates have been notified and are making ready for duty. Dr. Besley's personal staff consists of Dr. Kellogg Speed, surgeon; Dr. Milton Mandel, chief medical officer, and Miss Daisy Urch, chief nurse . . .
It is expected that the unit will be ordered to leave for France within a very short time to take charge of a base hospital containing 500 beds.
One purpose in sending the unit abroad is to enable the doctors to study the newest methods of treating wounds and diseases for the benefit of the prospective American expeditionary force.

As an illustration of the calm before the storm, there probably isn't any better than the pic above – depending on your proximity to the twister, of course.
While most people nearby were probably bolting their doors or heading for the hills as this monster tornado approached, one storm chaser didn't blow his chance at capturing this extraordinary moment.
Peter Gude, 47, was the photographer of this unusual sight of a rainbow and tornado – seemingly just a few miles apart – occurred in the Colorado sky.
Partially due to the development of camera phones, there have been a relative glut of amazing rainbow images snapped over the past couple of years.
In February 2009, amateur photographer Jason Erdkamp snapped the end of the rainbow on his iPhone while travelling on a toll road in Orange County, California.
A similar image of a rainbow hogging the middle lane on the Surrey stretch of the M25 was snapped last September.
Sadly however, the fabled treasure placed by leprechauns was not to be found on either occasion.
Jason, from Los Angeles, said: "There was no pot of gold, but I did win $25 that night on a lottery ticket."
And in August of that year, this luminous picture shows a rare 'upside down rainbow' - reminiscent of the Cheshire Cat's grin - snapped in the sky over Sussex.
Relatively rare in Britain, the arc only appears when sunlight shines at a specific angle through a thin veil of wispy clouds at a height of around 20,000 to 25,000 feet.
Another meteorological marvel - known as a 'reflection bow' - was captured on camera by Phil Thompson in Australia last November.
Looking like a 'twin' rainbow, it was seen on the jetty at the Bellarine Peninsula in Victoria.

The government has a master plan to upgrade the Ratmalana Airport as an efficient domestic and international Airport, Transport and Civil Aviation Minister Nimal Siripala de Silva said.Under the master plan several major capital development projects including the construction of a new taxiway and overlay area, the upgrading of terminal facilities, the renovation of hangars, and to set up a new air traffic control tower will be undertaken.
Addressing the media after participating in an inspection tour of the airport yesterday, the minister said that the Sri Lanka Air Force has agreed to provide 25 acres of its land for the development of the airport.The Civil Aviation Authority has already paid Rs. 725 million to relocate two hangers and the administrative complex of the Air Force. Construction of the two hangers and the administrative complex for the Air Force is underway.
According to the minister, the cost is Rs.1,479 million; Rs.829 million of the total cost will be spent by Airport and Aviation Services (Sri Lanka) Limited, while the Civil Aviation Authority will spend Rs.650 million.The minister said the Ratmalana Airport, the first international airport in Sri Lanka, was operating as the major international airport up to 1969. With the upgrade of the airport, the country would be able to train more pilots, he said, adding that there is a huge demand for pilots across the world.
"With the completion of the Colombo Port City project, we are planning to use Ratmalana airport to provide services to foreign private jets and small aircraft," Minister De Silva said.

Glymur Waterfall
This hike is about a one hour drive from Reykjavik. It is pretty easy to find and it is a short hike!
Glymur Waterfall is considered Iceland's highest waterfall at 198m. You can't see the waterfall from the road so you don't need to hike it, but it is definitely worth your time.
You have 2 options on this hike you can make it a loop (around 8km) or you can get to the waterfall and come back the same way you came (5km). To make it a loop keep going after the waterfall and go down to cross the river. I recommend making it a loop as it is less busy on the other side.
Be aware you will need to cross a river(twice because you need to come back) to get to the waterfall. There is a rope to help you to cross, I didn't think it was too difficult as there are a lot of stable rocks to walk on. You can expect some traffic over there as most people are not making the loop so they need to cross the river twice at the same spot. If you decide to do the loop the second river crossing is much easier.

I took a little ride to 'The County' via the long way 'round.
BMW Triumphant (only a blogger to blogger meet up could get me, suffering from my 'man cold,' out of my cave on such a windy day) for a little 200 km ride through the home place.
Touring on a VStar 650 Custom: "I haven't a clue as to how my story will end. But that's all right. When you set out on a journey and night covers the road, you don't conclude the road has vanished. And how else could we discover the stars?" (unknown)
Its been such a stellar summer! I am detinitely not ready to say goodbye yet.ReplyDelete
Nope, not ready to give up yet either.Delete
Keep that bike on the road as long as you can!ReplyDelete
Not even close to being over. The weather looks wonderful.ReplyDelete
Weather that you could see was great ... what you might not be able to see were the unpredictable gusts of up to 60k per hour. Surprisingly it didn't seem cold.Delete
Get every riding moment you can.....I say that after having skipped some this summer.
Having recently discovered the "Game of Thrones" HBO series, I say to you: "Winter is Coming". :)
Oh no, you were sucked into the vortex of a series ... never fear, I'm going to ride on. This weekend, our Thanksgiving weekend is looking very, almost summerish, promising.Delete
Good for you, Karen! Carpe diem. The bike will be back in the shed way too soon. Glad you could meet with Ed. Another B-to-B meeting. We should give out badges ;-)ReplyDelete
I like the badge idea Sonja ... I'll have to work on that.Delete
Why is it I can clearly picture you shouting at the birds like that?
I am glad you have had some sunny weather and were able to get out and meet with Mr. BMW himself.
That bench/bridge photo is my favorite.
Ha, ha ... you do know me Trobairitz! (Crazy woman who stand beside road, yelling at birds.) I was glad Ed had the chance to come back this way and take a tour - too bad we picked the windiest day of the fall, but happy that the sun was shining.Delete
Thanks for the fine tour, Karen. I had a good ride home on Sunday. It was overcast nearer to Toronto, but never as cold as it was on Friday.
Must try the roads out your way again. There was some nice country there.
So many roads Ed ... any time.Delete
Looks like you had great weather! I love my heated gear for fall rides..ReplyDelete
The sun was beautiful, the wind a bit strong and the heated gear kept me perfectly comfortable. Can't imagine life without it!Delete
I do think everyone who lives where winter steals away our ability to ride was cheering along with you. We've had an unseasonably warm start to October, which makes my denial syndrome worse, but more believable (at least in my head) I fear the, "Reality Crash" I know is coming will be a bigger surprise than last year........
I hope you get many more days in before it really is, "over."
Don, all I can say is it has been a beautiful fall (so uncharacteristic, but I'm not complaining!) I know it's coming ... but did you have to say it out loud?ReplyDelete

The beautifully displayed stations also included a feast of salads and a charcuterie offering fine meats, imported cheeses, and crispy breads and crostini, along with a Carving Station featuring tender cuts of Salt Crusted Sirloin with Beef Jus and Roasted Herb Crusted Salmon with Lemon Beurre Blanc. The Italian roots of the Chef were ever present with an array of tantalizing dishes such as Lobster Risotto and Penne a la Bolognese luring us to the Pasta Station. No brunch would be complete without the traditional breakfast items, and at the Ritz, they include an omelet station, unforgettable crepes, chicken sausages and crispy bacon.

I have a lot of fears. I have a lot of anxieties. I never thought I was a worrier. I don't think I would have classified myself this way. But I certainly have become one. It became most apparent to me after I got pregnant. The entire pregnancy I worried about that baby growing inside me, up until the day I delivered. Then after that, the worries went from inside my body to the actual living, breathing, precious gift in my arms. At the heart of all of my fears was the aching question, "Would I be able to keep this child alive?" Now as a result, if I am being blatantly honest, I find myself parenting from a place of fear.
I have also found that this fear does not have to have its home solely in the lives of my children. There are certainly other fears in my life. I know I can become gripped with fear and anxiety over relationships, friendships, finances and the future. I can easily find myself slipping through the fingers of Trust, into the depths of fear. My mind can be my best friend or my worst enemy. It reminds me of the poem by Robert Frost. There I stand, in his yellow wood, with two paths before me: the one that bent in the undergrowth and the one that wanted wear. For me, the one that bent toward fear and the one that wanted faith. On the other side of that undergrowth, I know it all too well. It is a cold, dark place; a deep well of jagged emotions, drudgery, and life by asphyxiation. The path wanting wear I long for, yet feels just out of reach. Some days close, like within the grasp of my finger tips. Other days, like a pin point of light miles and miles away in the distance.
Each morning both equally lay. Will I take the path of fear or step down the path of faith? I want the path of faith. I want to be completely dependent upon Jesus and what He has done for me. I want the belief in his grace and his sufficiency to totally metamorphose my mind, heart, soul and actions. I want to be in that transformative place of freedom that produces actions of trust.
So what is the barrier? If I believe that I am so deeply loved and cared for that God sent Jesus to rescue me in order that I could be in a relationship with Him, forgiven for my sins, and the guilt and the shame that come along with them, then shouldn't that affect all of my actions? I suppose the hiccup I have is in the change part of this equation, the thing that happens to produce the other thing on the other side of the equals sign. Where is the change in my life? Why do I keep returning to fear rather than trust?
Here's what I think, to answer my own question. The reason the change isn't happening is either that I am trying with all of my might for transformation, disguised only as behavior modification. Or that I sitting in the stink of my sin, wallowing in the awareness, and stuck in the sidelining shame.
It's one thing for me to recognize my sin tendency of fear and anxiety. It's another thing all together to walk with the Lord as He works on that sin in my heart. The difference being, a recognition of the struggle, versus a running to the Healer. So, I turn to the Word and by His grace alone, my eyes are opened to a deeper understanding of anxiety. The sin of anxiety is rooted in something deeper. Fear and anxiety are just the branches that the root sin produces. The more I read, the deeper I dig, and there underneath the cold metal of excavation lies the tiniest section of the wiry skin of the root. And it penetrates deeper than I could have ever imagine, spiraling, tightening and wrapping its way into the depths of my past, penetrating to the genesis of The Fall. The root sin is idolatry. I have another god other than the One True God. Me. I am that other god. I believe that God is holding out on me and that He doesn't have what's best for me. I believe that I can do my life better than whatever God has planned for me. I believe that God either does not see me, has forgotten me or does not love me. All of these reasons would confirm the fact that my actions can come from a place of fear. The root sin of fear is idolatry. The branches it produces are fear and anxiety. There are a gazillion other branches I have come to identify as well from this root sin of idolatry: control, comfort, anger, people pleasing, lust, laziness, the list goes on and on and on, but the sole connecting factor for them all is that I want to be god of my own life.
What an ah ha moment! By the grace of the Lord, my eyes have been opened to the awareness of my sin of fear. By the grace of the Lord, my eyes have been opened to the truth in His Word. By the grace of the Lord, I see that all of my immediate, surface sins have the root sin of idolatry. By the grace of the Lord, I am able to release this to Jesus, knowing the promises that He offers in the Bible (Deuteronomy 31:6, Matthew 28:20, Romans 8:28). By the grace of the Lord, I am able to trust that He is transforming me from the inside out. By the grace of the Lord, I can ask for the peace and patience of the Holy Spirit to bloom in my life as His grace and mercies are renewed every morning. By the grace of the Lord, I can say two paths diverged in a yellow wood, and only because of the redeeming work of Christ in my heart, I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.
Gracious Heavenly Father, pull this massive oak of anxiety from the ground, rip out the roots so deeply imbedded in my heart and in the huge gaping hole that is left, pour in your healing waters of grace. God, continue to push me to feed on your Word that You promise will produce in me the Fruit of the Spirit, offering me the peace and freedom that surpasses all understanding and that is so longed for and needed in my life.
* (I understand that there are hormonal imbalances and chemical changes in one's body that cause a level anxiety that by God's grace medicine can assist in the healing process. I am not undermining the severity of this type of anxiety with what I have written above and am grateful for the advances in modern medicine.)

Good, so can I choose to withold my license fee and give it to the DEC appeal instead?
I suspect that might give people ideas! And yes, it should be licence not license, but I am beginning to recognise that's a lost cause. I blame Bill Gates.

We did it!
The Bureau of Economic Analysis released its second estimate of real GDP growth for the fourth quarter. It was 2.2% on an annualized basis. That's pretty "meh."
The bigger deal, though, is that the BEA's third quarter estimate was unrevised. We're now pretty sure that the economy grew at 5% over the summer. We could be just a hop, skip, and a jump away from boom times.

"The premier misspoke. He's just wrong. He's taking the national target for reduction and applying it provincially, but that doesn't work. It's an election year and he doesn't want this to be a big issue in the election."- David Coon
Article by:JACQUES POITRAS
Have the Liberals already achieved their targets for reducing carbon dioxide emissions? That claim is at the heart of an election-year climate debate in New Brunswick.
The claim is at the heart of an election-year climate debate in New Brunswick: the province has already achieved its targets for reducing carbon dioxide emissions.The Progressive Conservative opposition made it first, arguing last year that Liberal Premier Brian.
Gallant should not impose a carbon tax because the province had hit its emissions goals.And if Ottawa followed through on a threat to apply its own carbon tax to any province that doesn't bring in its own? That, too, would be unnecessary, PC leader Blaine Higgs argued last October. "If I'm meeting the standards of environmental targets, then there isn't any grounds for the federal government just to say, 'tax the people more anyway,'" he said.
Premier Brian Gallant adopted a strikingly similar argument after finally unveiling his carbon-price scheme in December. Starting this week, it shifts a share of existing gas-tax revenue into a climate fund, so there's no additional cost to consumers at the pumps.
Premier Brian Gallant said the province can demonstrate to Ottawa it is hitting emission targets for 2030. (Canadian Press)How would this satisfy Ottawa's requirements and avoid a higher federal tax?"We are going to be able to demonstrate that we are hitting our emission targets for 2030," Gallant said in a year-end interview with CBC News.
The claim resurfaced last week when carbon-tax opponents pounced on a report by federal and provincial auditors-general that New Brunswick was "on track" to meet its targets.But it's not as simple as that, for four main reasons.1. Gallant's claim is based on a non-existent goalGallant's claim in the year-end interview seemed to be based on math from Ottawa's response to the Paris climate treaty.
"The 2030 federal emission target for New Brunswick is 14.3 megatons or 30 per cent below 2005 levels," says his government's climate plan update for 2017.
By that measure, New Brunswick is in the clear: our emissions in 2015 were 14.1 megatons, according to federal statistics.But that formula, 30 per cent below 2005 levels, is the official federal government target for Canada as a whole. It's the same target the previous Conservative government of Stephen Harper adopted.
Green Party leader David Coon said Brian Gallant is applying the national target provincially but it doesn't work. (CBC)Green party leader David Coon says there's been no federal-provincial agreement that each province must also reduce its emissions by the same percentage.The overall federal reduction goal could be divvied up among the provinces in other ways, Coon says. Distributing the megatons to be cut proportionally by population would require New Brunswick to reduce emissions by roughly another four megatons.
"The premier misspoke," he said. "He's just wrong. He's taking the national target for reduction and applying it provincially, but that doesn't work."Coon says the explanation is simple. "It's an election year and he doesn't want this to be a big issue in the election."
But was Gallant basing his statement on Ottawa's 30-per-cent Paris formulation? New Brunswick also has its own official emissions-reduction target, different from Ottawa's.It calls for emissions 35 per cent below 1990 levels by 2030 — meaning emissions of 10.7 megatons of carbon dioxide. That goal falls within the range of a regional agreement by the New England Governors and Eastern Canadian Premiers in 2015.
Gallant's government literally wrote that target into law earlier this month when the Liberals' Climate Change Act passed third reading in the legislature and received royal assent. It describes 10.7 megatons by 2030 as an "objective."Lois Corbett of the New Brunswick Conservation Council said while it's one thing to achieve a target set a while ago, there still needs to be urgency when dealing with climate change. (CBC)It also says the goal for 2020 is 14.8 megatons, and that has been achieved. That's what the auditors-general report meant last week when it said New Brunswick was "on track."But with 14.1 megatons of emissions in 2015, the province is nowhere near the 10.7-megaton target.
"It's one thing to achieve a target that was set quite a while ago," said Lois Corbett of the New Brunswick Conservation Council. "It's another thing altogether to rise to the urgency to which we have to deal with climate change."
If Gallant's year-end interview comment was based on the federal Paris goal, with higher 2005 emissions as a baseline, he was "moving the starting gate," Corbett said.In an email statement, Environment Department spokesperson Vicky Deschênes said Gallant's statement was "a reference to our provincial targets," not a federal Paris goal.But shortly afterward, the premier's spokesperson Tina Robichaud said Gallant was responding to a question about federal standards and was referring to the federal target.
Assuming Gallant was talking about the federal goal, he was setting an easy marker for the province: between 2005 and 2015, carbon dioxide emissions in New Brunswick declined from 20.3 to 14.1 megatons.
According to data from the provincial Department of Environment and Local Government, most of the reductions came from NB Power closing some of its dirtiest generating stations in Dalhousie, Courtenay Bay, and Grand Lake.
Other factors included a reduced reliance on the Coleson Cove generating station, energy-efficiency measures, and the closure of the UPM Kymmene mill in Miramichi. But there's no guarantee emissions will stay at 14.1 megatons until 2030. The economy will grow, and the Gallant Liberals are pushing some projects that would increase emissions, such as the Sisson mine north of Fredericton.
Gallant and his environment minister, Serge Rousselle, have made the claim about targets achieved while defending their decision to relabel part of the existing gas tax as a carbon tax.Environment and Local Government Minister Serge Rousselle said federal Environment Minister Catherine McKenna will come around about the carbon tax when she realizes the 2030 target has been achieved. (CBC)That may not satisfy federal Environment Minister Catherine McKenna, who said last
December she wants "a price signal that wasn't there before," not a shifting of existing tax.
Rousselle predicted in January McKenna will come around when she realizes that the 2030 target has been achieved. "The federal government will see we're meeting their requirements," he told a legislative committee.The logic is that a higher carbon tax isn't needed — even though the Liberal plan also asserts more has to be done.
"Although New Brunswick's GHG emissions have declined in recent years, they are not projected to decline in the future under the status quo," says the 2016 climate plan document."This, along with increasingly stringent GHG reduction targets adopted by NEG-ECP and the provincial government, means that additional GHG emission reduction measures will be required."
Additional measures
Deschênes acknowledged in her email statement that "additional emissions reduction measures are needed to meet our 2030 target."
The highest-profile "additional measure" is the planned phase-out of coal at NB Power's generating station in Belledune by 2030.Coon estimates that would remove three megatons of carbon dioxide emissions, getting the province most of the way to its real 2030 goal.
It would also satisfy New Brunswick's share of the federal goal, if that national reduction figure were allocated to the provinces proportionally based on population, he said. Robichaud, the premier's spokesperson, said "the fact that the province has a more aggressive target [than Ottawa's] that we also plan to meet by 2030" shows the government is serious about climate change.
But Coon says the lack of a higher carbon tax, coupled with a Belledune closure still a decade in the future, shows the Liberals haven't done anything concrete yet to actually reduce emissions.
