There is a very mystic fact regarding gem stones, which I want to share with you, a year is to be divided into two parts, summer and winter months. There are two types of months like hot and cold. Hot stones may cause damage in summer months and so these hot stones should not be used in summer months. If at all they are to be used, then special care is to be taken to wear them jointly with cold ones, precaution is that hot stones should be removed from fingers before going to bed and care should be taken to keep them safely and to use them in the morning just on rising from bed, otherwise they may cause insomnia.

It is prescribed for reducing the evil effects of the planet Mercury and it is also used to enhance the power of Mercury in an individual birth chart, sometimes we prefer to wear this particular gem stone set in gold but another time we recommend to wear this particular gem stone in silver, and it mainly depend on the planetary condition of one's birth chart.

It is cold and it emits cold green cosmic rays. Green is the colour of the planet Mercury. He is the young prince. So green refers to youthful activities and quick action. The people, who are actively involved in academic works and they are very conscientious and very capable of handing things even in unfavorable conditions, this gem stone proves very favorable for all those people. They will mark time and get prepared to handle it wisely. They have the commercial instinct ingrained.
As Mercury is a fast moving planet, they will be very quick and very brisk in their activities. They are methodical; Mercurians think fact, act fast and talk fast.

I have been examining the most beneficial benefits of Mercury in the birth chart of students since 1999 and all aspirants those who have been competing for competitive exams and getting tremendous success after wearing the gem stone. It is indeed a very useful gem stone in all.
Ruling area of Mercury
Here we are describing the ruling area of Mercury in an individual body structure. The Planet Mercury governs central nervous system, abdomen, speech, tongue, lungs, bowels, nerve centre, nose, brain nerves etc. of our body, when it gets malefic in an individual birth chart due to inverse placement or conjunction with other malefic planets gives diseases like diarrhea, dysentery, and sirosis of liver, gastric and peptic ulcers, asthma, insomnia, heart-troubles, and headache, so it is always advised to wear best to best quality of gem stone after getting complete astrological report of your horoscope and avoid all the above said unwanted disease with quick and immediate effect merely by being worn in small finger, and in ring finger. (Right hand for males and left hand for females).
Benefits of Emerald
The gem Emerald has power to cure all these diseases merely by being worn in the small finger, in ring finger (right hand for males and left hand for females). Wearing Emerald in combination with other stones enhances success in competitive exams, trade and business. It also helps in promotion and prosperity as it enhances intellect, memory, analytical and intellectual power, it promotes childbirth, heals bites, stings of poisonous creatures like serpents and scorpions etc. but it should be worn after getting best gem's prescription report from an experienced indian astrology Astrologer. It removes fickle mindedness, loss of memory, stammering headache, fear from spirits and harsh speech. The Emerald is considered the symbol of hope, love and success. It is considered to be the stone of prophecy by many Saints, Rishis, Astrologers and Numerologists. The Emerald acts as a quick reliever for a troubled mind. The Emerald is said to bring the wearer the strong reasoning power and wisdom. The spring is considered to be the most effective time for getting powers from the Emerald and the most important fact that I want to share with my readers that it is considered the lucky birth stone for one's love life if it is worn with small pointer diamonds stud gold ring. So give your lover an Emerald to make him /her stay faithful.
In several cultures the Emerald was the symbol for fertilizing rain. In the Christian faith it is the symbol of faith and hope. Its greatest benefit is that, it reduces sexual hunger and passion. As such, it is often used by the saints, Rishis, bachelors and students. Mercury denotes the mental capacities and it controls the thinking mind. Absence of green rays in our body disturbs mental stability and causes mental illness and hysteria. So, sometimes doctors advised to eat green vegetables as much as possible. As mercury is a convertible planet, it is greatly affected by the influence of malefic aspects. Evil aspects from Saturn or Rahu to Mercury produce dangerous mental disorders such as malefic conjunction of Mercury and Rahu, Mercury and Saturn in inverse houses etc. so, this major rule should be considered at the time of wearing this most beneficial birth stone. But if Mercury is placed with beneficial planets such as Sun or Venus or under the beneficial aspect then in that condition, Emerald should be worn by an individual. Green represents the Earth element with its quality of smell. It is the colour of the spring time, youth and hope. It represents new born life. It is the colour of the nature. It is invigorating and cheerful. Persons swayed by this colour hate to grow old and they want to remain ever young. They prefer young company and youthful activities. So, it is always seen that people working in theaters, cinema and acting field wears Emerald. They are rather irresponsible, restless and fond of change. They are generous, good-natured and most responsible human being. Though, they are witty but always thankful. As we all know that colors have very great importance in our life throughout the life. This is just as example to prove the benefit of green color in an individual body. Green colour gives a go-ahead spirit. That is why traffic green signals are meant for start and go. It represents growth. It is usually cold and mild and the reason being is that doctors prefer green colour to mad or insane persons for their dresses, colour of rooms, green bed sheets and green mosquito curtains etc., to give sound and peaceful sleep. A very good example that I want to share to my readers that most of the "Peer Mazar" or "Mosque" is done green white wash for peaceful prayers and worship.
The gems Emerald, Peridot, Aquamarine and Onex have powers to cure the above diseases at some extent. These gem stone have abundant source of supplying green colour into our body merely by being worn on little finger of either hand. Green colour symbolizes with green corn. Green colour also improves the most talented parts of the human system. It governs the intellect, wisdom and thinking mind. A combination of green and violet colour stimulates even a vague personality. So, the combined use of the gem stones Emerald and Blue sapphire give wonderful intellectual prosperity in life and tremendous success in all over area of life. For students, green colour is very helpful, and they can mould their lives to a great extent by using the influence of this green colour. A best example that one should know, green colour is used at the bottom of our Tri-colour National Flag which represents faith, youthfulness and chivalry. An Emerald of the hue of parrot's wings, bamboo leaves, banana trunk and of good quality such as; smoothness, purity etc. It is highly beneficial to people when it is worn at ceremonies (Yajan, Laxmi Pooja, Durga Pooja, Maha Shivratri, Navratra Pooojan, etc.) in honor of gods. It is always advised to wear this most valuable gem stone after performing full religious ceremony such as; "Purna Pranpratishtha", "Full Recitation of Mantras", etc.
An afflicted Mercury becomes the cause of the following diseases; vertigo, lethargy, giddiness in the head, madness, brain troubles, tuberculoses, stammering, defects of memory, dry coughs, abundance of spittle gout of hand and feet, leprosaria, cancer, diseases of stomach, skin diseases etc. If Mercury is afflicted by malefic planets and placed in weak position in ascendant one is likely to face disputes, litigation, and loss through theft, loss due to fraud, cheating and forgery. So, it is always advised to wear this gem stone after getting complete analysis of your horoscope.

WASHINGTON (USA TODAY) -- President Obama said Thursday that new sanctions on
Russia will "impose a cost" for its military incursion into Ukraine.
at the White House, Obama also said he opposes a referendum that would
allow parts of Crimea to break away from Ukraine and join Russia.
calling for "de-escalation" of the crisis, Obama said the nation will
remain "firm" in opposing violations of international law.
spoke after placing visa restrictions and economic sanctions on Russians
who are determined to have been involved in military action in Ukraine.
the Russian incursion into Crimea as "an unusual and extraordinary
threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United
States," an Obama executive order calls for denying visas and blocking
financial transactions of designated Russians.
"The order does not
target the country of Ukraine, but rather is aimed at persons -
including persons who have asserted governmental authority in the
Crimean region without the authorization of the government of Ukraine -
who undermine democratic processes and institutions in Ukraine," Obama
said in a message to Congress.
The sanctions could also apply to some Ukrainians if they are found to have been involved in efforts to destabilize the country.
sanctions announced Thursday are limited. They only affect funds in the
United States, or controlled by U.S. financial institutions abroad.
Visa restrictions and cancellations affect only travel to the United
The Obama administration is working with allies on a set of international sanctions on Russia.
U.S. unilateral sanctions come less than a week after the
administration called for a $1 billion package of economic and energy
assistance to the new government in Kiev.
The U.S. has also
suspended trade talks and military cooperation with Russia. It has
discussed boycotting a G-8 summit to be hosted by Russian President
Vladminir Putin in June in Sochi.
Secretary of State John Kerry is scheduled to discuss the Ukraine unrest Thursday with his Russian counterpart.
sanctions announcement also comes as a regional parliament in Crimea
set a vote on formally cutting ties with Ukraine and joining Russia.
Buck, a spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said "we
welcome this first step, but remain committed to working with the
administration to give President Obama as many tools as needed to put
President Putin in check as well as prevent Russia from infringing on
the sovereignty of any of its other neighbors."
Boehner has called for increasing U.S. exports of natural gas in order to undercut Russian energy sales to other nations.
House spokesman Jay Carney said the administration "is pursuing and
reviewing a wide range of options in response to Russia's ongoing
violation of Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity."
State Department will put visa restrictions in place against "those
responsible for or complicit in threatening the sovereignty and
territorial integrity of Ukraine," Carney said. "This new step stands in
addition to the policy already implemented to deny visas to those
involved in human rights abuses related to political oppression in
Economic sanctions will be aimed at "those who are most
directly involved in destabilizing Ukraine, including the military
intervention in Crimea, and does not preclude further steps should the
situation deteriorate," Carney said.
U.S. options include freezing assets and prohibiting Russian firms from doing business in the United States.
and Kerry have called on Putin to pull back troops to pre-existing
Russian bases in Crimea, and to allow international monitors into the
Putin, who has said he is obligated to protect the rights
of Russian-speaking people in Ukraine, has not responded to the
administration's offer.

Digitally manipulated photographs often get a bad press. In fashion photography, the slimming of waists, enlarging of breasts and smoothing of skin is commonplace, and many complain that these changes create an unachievable ideal that can have a damaging effect, especially on young women. But a new exhibition at the Whitford Fine Art Gallery in London by the Dutch photographer and artist Ingrid Baars explores that idea and challenges it.
Baars used to be an illustrator, before working as a commercial photographer for Nike and others. Since 2010, she has focused on fine-art photography. Her new work is called "L'Afrique c'est Chic!", a series of pictures with two distinct styles. Some of her portraits have the perfect proportions and symmetries of tribal masks, which also look back to the women in paintings like "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon" by Picasso or Modigliani's portraits of young women. Eyes are set wide apart, noses elongated and heads sharpened into points. For one picture, "Fang" (above), she photographed a model and an African mask separately, and then merged them using Photoshop. The result looks like a sculpted bust which is both lifelike and unsettlingly ornamental.
Another set of photographs is inspired by Jean-Paul Goude, the art director and artist who, in the early 1980s, cut up pictures of Grace Jones and pasted them back together again to extend her limbs and distort her profile. Where Goude used physical transparencies, Baars re-invents the process with digital software, giving her models long necks and angular faces, emulating African tribal sculpture. "Gazelle" shows a woman with very long legs, wearing animal print heels. Her neck is stretched, her body tattooed, her jaw squared off. It's a powerful combination of contemporary fashion and ancient art, which uses the manipulative techniques of the modern air-brush to make a picture which reflects on how we think about beauty now, and how we've thought about it in the past. We may smooth and perfect our models, but we were doing so long before Photoshop.
"L'Afrique c'est Chic!" by Ingrid Baars is on show at the Whitford Fine Art Gallery in London until October 30th

A slightly off-line photocopy of a photo and caption from a 1949 edition of the Collier County News shows drought conditions and wildfires have come and gone over the years. The caption to this photo reads: "The hot winter sky of the Glades country has quenched its own thirst this year, milking the water from the vast reservoirs of Collier County's Big Cypress Swamp, leaving this typical checkerboard of cracked earth where water was once waist-height. Tinder-dry leaves bed the timbered townships of the Lee Cypress Co. Lumber officials fear spot fires in the forest will mature into the gray billows of overall conflagration which swept through the outskirts of the swamp in 1936 and again in 1945. Normally the entire slough is covered with upwards of three feet of water. Already muck fires are consuming truck fields to the northeast along the shores of Lake Okeechobee. Hurricane flood waters renew the soil's vitality but there is no restoration for burned timber. Photo and descriptive article by Miss Mildred Allen of Copeland."
Not a bagel or croissant was in sight when this undated postcard highlighted the continental breakfast at Naples' Sea Shell Motel, 82 Ninth St. S., in Naples.

The Sea Shell Motel is still there, a block south of Central Avenue on U.S. 41. Readers with memorabilia to share are encouraged to upload it online at naplesnews.com/participate.
"Exclusive but not expensive ... Naples' finest." That was the slogan on postcards for the Motel Stewart, razed in late 2006 to make way for a condo/office project in central Naples on U.S. 41. This view was of the interior courtyard. The undated postcard boasted of the motel's double beds, air conditioning and location — "close to golf course, beach, fine fishing, hunting and shelling."

North Naples winter visitors notice something missing. Until the spring of 2006, palm-bordered views of the pool and Gulf were trademarks for nearly 33 years of the Vanderbilt Inn on Vanderbilt Beach. Now, its 150 guest rooms and landmark chickee bar are gone — razed to make way for a high-rise condominium south of Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park. This undated vintage postcard is from the collection of Nina Webber. Share your local memorabilia collection by uploading images at naplesnews.com/participate.
The "T" is the start of the often-copied landmark Venetian Village condo enclave in Park Shore on Gulf Shore Boulevard North in Naples in 1970. The boulevard would eventually be continued further north.
Can you guess the landmark roads that form this intersection? Is the golf course taking shape a clue? What is the year? This was the scene, looking northwest, at U.S. 41 East and Rattlesnake-Hammock Road, in 1970. That is the Lely Hibiscus links being carved out of row crops. Photo courtesy of Art Ullmann
Here is a vintage photo that is interesting for what it shows — and what it does not show. Made by Naples pilot Jim Connell circa 1960, it looks east at Naples Municipal Airport from above Naples' River Park neighborhood. Radio Road runs diagonally at upper left. The rest is history. Readers with local memorabilia to share are encouraged to upload photos of it at naplesnews.com/participate.
Jack Connell of Naples made this terrific aerial looking southwest of Gulf Shore Boulevard in 1964, three years after the beachfront Lowdermilk Park (right, with pond) opened and four years after Hurricane Donna. More and larger homes and condos populate this same area today.
Those were the days — the late 1960s — when Pine Ridge, left foreground, and Seagate, right, were taking shape and today's Pelican Bay, right foreground, and Park Shore above it were years away. Note Clam Pass clearly visible at lower right. That is U.S. 41 running north-south at center and Pine Ridge Road from left to right.

PORTERDALE -- An ordinance making it illegal to wear baggy pants that sit too low on the hips is expected to be on the City Council agenda for a vote at the March 5 regular meeting.
At a work session last Thursday, council members discussed changes to the proposed ordinance that would make it possible for the city solicitor to prosecute baggy pants cases.
Solicitor Robert Piccaretto was at the meeting and suggested some changes to the proposed ordinance, particularly removing a section that stated violators would not be subject to arrest.
"From the standpoint of a prosecutor, I wouldn't be able to prosecute that because that makes it a civil matter," Piccaretto said.
He also suggested that the council strike a section that stated that the Porterdale Municipal Court would have the same authority as the Superior Court to enforce the ordinance. He pointed out that a violation of the proposed ordinance would be a misdemeanor, which would not be handled in Superior Court.
The proposed ordinance would expand on the state public indecency code by prohibiting the wearing of pants or skirts more than 3 inches below the top of the hips, exposing the skin or undergarments.
Councilman Mike Harper brought the matter before the council at the Feb. 13 work session, saying that he has been contacted by several residents who objected to individuals wearing their pants below their buttocks and exposing their underwear. Harper said at that time that other jurisdictions have enacted ordinances against baggy pants and he would like to see Porterdale do the same.
Councilman Tim Savage said last week that he has reviewed similar laws in other jurisdictions, noting that some of those ordinances have been overturned. He asked that Piccaretto review the ordinance and report back to the council.
Councilwoman Anita Rainey said she does not support the ordinance and did not think the city should pursue it. She said previously that she did not believe the city should try to regulate what people wear.
Harper said he would make a motion at the March 5 meeting to approve the ordinance and believed that he had the necessary three votes to have it enacted.

Effective Date: January 06, 2011
Expiration Date: January 06, 2016
|| TOC | Preface | Chapter1 | Chapter2 | Chapter3 | Chapter4 | Chapter5 | Chapter6 | Chapter7 | Chapter8 | AppendixA | AppendixB | AppendixC | ALL |
2.1.1 This chapter sets forth general principles, standards, and policies to assure compliance with statutory and regulatory requirements regarding the valuation and recognition of NASA's General PP&E. These requirements ensure effective financial control over NASA-owned PP&E. Chapter 7 of this NPR establishes the general principles, standards, and policies for NASA's Heritage Assets.
2.2.1 The following capitalization criteria apply to PP&E, including acquisitions, fabrications, modifications, and improvements. NASA shall capitalize individual items of PP&E acquired by construction, purchase, transfer, donation, or exchange which meet all of the following criteria:
a. Have an acquisition cost of $100,000 or more (except internal use software which has a capitalization threshold of $1,000,000).
b. Have an estimated useful life of two years or more (except internal use software with a useful life of five years).
c. Are not intended for sale in the ordinary course of operations.
d. Have been acquired or constructed with the intention of being used, or being available for use, by the Agency.
e. Have a current or planned alternative future use on another project with a separate objective. Institutional acquisitions that are not defined as maintenance are presumed to have an alternative future use.
2.2.2 Items not meeting the above criteria or those specifically identified as prototypes or test articles, including ST and STE, are considered R&D costs and are expensed in the period incurred.
2.2.3 Bulk Purchase. PP&E items acquired as part of a bulk purchase that individually meet the capitalization criteria shall be capitalized in accordance with the policies established in this NPR. If the cost per item purchased in bulk does not meet the capitalization threshold, the bulk purchase will be expensed in the period acquired. For bulk purchase of internal use software, refer to Chapter 5 of this NPR.
2.2.4 Collateral Equipment.
18.104.22.168 Collateral equipment includes building-type equipment, built-in equipment, and large substantially affixed equipment normally installed as a part of a facility project such as, construction or modification. Such a project is considered a single event for the purposes of determining whether the PP&E meets the capitalization criteria.
126.96.36.199 Collateral equipment is not severable and is considered part of the facility project through which it is installed. Therefore, the cost of collateral equipment shall be included in the value of the project in making the determination as to whether the project meets the capitalization criteria specified above. If the project meets the capitalization criteria, the value of the collateral equipment will be included in the capitalized value.
18.104.22.168 The replacement cost of collateral equipment or the addition of collateral equipment to an existing facility shall be treated as either a capital improvement or maintenance, depending on the circumstances.
188.8.131.52 Non-collateral equipment, when acquired and used in a facility or test apparatus, can be severed and removed after construction without substantial loss of value or damage to the equipment or the premises where it is installed.
220.127.116.11 Each non-collateral equipment shall be considered separately in relation to the capitalization criteria, and non-collateral equipment which meets the capitalization criteria will be recorded in the general ledger PP&E accounts.
2.2.5 Modifications.
220.127.116.11 Modifications to existing PP&E shall be capitalized and defined as capital improvements if the modification meets certain criteria.
188.8.131.52 NASA shall capitalize individual modifications as capital improvements which have a cost of $100,000 or more, and meet one of the following criteria:
a. Extend the useful life of the asset by two years or more.
b. Enlarge or improve its capacity.
c. Otherwise upgrade it to serve needs different from, or significantly greater than, those originally intended.
22.214.171.124 Facility modifications shall be:
a. Identified on the AFUQ, NASA Form 1739.
b. Assigned a unique WBS element(s) with the appropriate capital asset indicator(s) if it meets the capitalization criteria as a capital improvement. Capital improvements are capitalized and depreciated. Modifications that do not meet the capitalization criteria are expensed.
126.96.36.199 In situations where the acquisition of PP&E or modifications to existing PP&E are linked to an end item, the cost of such individual acquisitions or modifications shall be included in the cost of the end item. In these situations, the combined cost of the individual items that make up the end item is to be used in determining if the item meets the capitalization criteria.
22.214.171.124 Where a replacement occurs due to a capital improvement, the accounts shall be appropriately adjusted to remove the values of items replaced (where those original values are $100,000 or more). If only a portion of the property is being replaced and that portion is not separately identifiable in the accounting records, the value of the replaced portion will be estimated and the accounts adjusted accordingly.
18.104.22.168 Removal of an item's recorded cost shall be treated as a separate accounting transaction from the recording of additions or replacements.
22.214.171.124 Replacements due to maintenance shall be expensed.
220.127.116.11 If an item's individual acquisition value is below $100,000 when it is first acquired and it is not, therefore, originally capitalized, it shall not be capitalized later regardless of whether the value of all subsequent modifications results in a cumulative value of $100,000 or more.
220.127.116.11 If a single subsequent modification meets the capitalization criteria, that modification shall be capitalized only in accordance with the capitalization criteria. Each modification will be considered a single event.
18.104.22.168 If a reduction in the capitalized value of an asset occurs as a result of a modification and causes the value of the asset to drop below $100,000, it shall be removed from the general ledger accounts for capitalized PP&E.
2.2.6 Maintenance. Expenses incurred to maintain an asset in a useable condition do not meet the criteria for capitalization and are thus expensed in the accounting period in which the costs were incurred. SFFAS No. 6 states the following: "For purposes of this standard, maintenance is described as the act of keeping fixed assets in acceptable condition. It includes preventive maintenance, normal repairs, replacement of parts and structural components, and other activities needed to preserve the asset so that it continues to provide acceptable services and achieves its expected life. Maintenance excludes activities aimed at expanding the capacity of an asset or otherwise upgrading it to serve needs different from, or significantly greater than, those originally intended."
2.2.7 Incremental Launch Service Costs.
18.104.22.168 NASA shall: Capitalize incremental launch service costs associated with delivery of International Space Station components owned by the United States.
2.2.8 Costs and Benefits Associated with Barter Agreements.
18.104.22.168 NASA shall not capitalize any costs and/or benefits associated with barter agreements.
2.3.1 Capitalized values shall include all costs incurred to bring PP&E to a form and location suitable for its intended use, (i.e., the total cost to NASA). For example, the cost may include the following, as appropriate for the type of PP&E capitalized:
a. Labor and other direct or indirect production costs.
b. Amounts paid to vendors or contractors, including fees.
c. Transportation charges to the point of initial use.
d. Handling and storage charges (for assets produced or constructed).
e. Engineering, architectural, and other outside services for designs, plans, specifications, and surveys.
f. Acquisition and preparation costs of buildings and other facilities.
g. An appropriate share of the cost of the equipment and facilities used in construction work.
h. Fixed equipment and related installation costs required for activities in a building or facility.
i. Direct costs of inspection, supervision, and administration of construction contracts and construction work.
j. Legal and recording fees and damage claims.
k. Fair values of facilities and equipment donated to the Government.
l. Material amounts of interest costs paid.
2.3.2 Costs of extended warranties shall be expensed at the time of payment and not be included in the capitalized value.
2.3.3 Where capitalized equipment is traded in for another piece of capitalized equipment, the capitalized value of the new asset shall be the acquisition cost, including the amount received for the trade-in.
2.3.4 NASA's General PP&E assets are presumed to have no residual/salvage value. As a result, residual/salvage value is set at zero when determining Net Realizable Value.
2.3.5 Transfers and Donations.
22.214.171.124 When PP&E is transferred from one NASA Center to another, the receiving Center shall record both the capitalized amount and accumulated depreciation previously reported by the sending Center.
18.104.22.168 Transfers of assets from other Government agencies with reimbursement that meet the capitalization criteria shall be recorded at the amount NASA is reimbursing the other Government agency. The manufacturer or original acquisition date provided by the other Government agency will be used as the PP&E's acquisition date.
188.8.131.52 Transfers of assets from other Government agencies without reimbursement that meet the capitalization criteria shall be recorded based on the net book value recorded by the transferring agency. If the value cannot be obtained, the item will be recorded at its fair market value at the time of the transfer, provided it meets the capitalization criteria. The manufactured date or original acquisition date provided by the other Government agency is to be used as the PP&E's acquisition date.
184.108.40.206 Donations of PP&E shall be valued at the estimated fair market value at the time of acquisition, provided it meets the capitalization criteria. If the estimated fair market value cannot be determined, other reasonable methods to identify the estimated value of the asset may be used.
220.127.116.11 In some cases, new PP&E or improvements to existing NASA PP&E are needed in order to perform the work required under a reimbursable agreement. The customer may request that NASA acquire the PP&E or make the capital improvements and include the cost in the total price of the reimbursable agreement. When NASA incurs the cost to acquire such PP&E or capital improvement, the cost is recorded as an expense and becomes part of the cost billed to the reimbursable customer. If, at the end of the reimbursable agreement, the Center CFO, in consultation with the Center Office of Chief Counsel, determines that NASA may appropriately retain such PP&E or capital improvement, the transaction to record the PP&E or capital improvement as a NASA asset is a separate transaction that has no effect on the amounts previously recorded for the reimbursable agreement. The asset(s) is to be recorded as follows:
a. If the reimbursable customer is a Federal agency, the improvement(s) or asset(s) will be valued at the depreciated value at the end of the reimbursable agreement. The transaction will be treated as a transfer, and the offset to the applicable asset account will be USSGL Account 5720, Financing Sources Transferred In Without Reimbursement.
b. If the reimbursable customer is a non-Federal entity, the asset(s) will be valued at the cost NASA paid to acquire it and bring it to a form and location suitable for its intended use under the reimbursable agreement. The transaction will be treated as an unconditional donation, and the offset to the appropriate asset account will be USSGL Account 5610, Donated Revenue - Nonfinancial Resources. (Accounting treatment as "donated" does not provide separate authority to accept such assets, which instead must be determined on a case-by-case basis.)
220.127.116.11 Borrowed or Loaned PP&E. PP&E loaned-in, including in-grants, from non-NASA organizations is not recorded in NASA's financial records. However, PP&E borrowed from another NASA Center shall be treated in accordance with the supporting documentation.
2.3.6 Found on Station.
188.8.131.52 Items found on station or items identified during inspections or inventories where original supporting documentation is not available shall be recorded as Found on Station and valued at their estimated value based on similar items, catalogs, or other reasonable estimates.
2.3.7 Work-in-Process (WIP).
188.8.131.52 NASA shall classify PP&E under construction (i.e., not complete) that meet the capitalization criteria as WIP. Direct and indirect capital costs related to the acquisitions, fabrications, and improvements incurred to bring the capital PP&E to a form and location suitable for its intended use will be accumulated in the WIP account.
18.104.22.168 PP&E meeting the capitalization criteria shall be segregated for tracking by unique WBS elements with capital asset indicators. The costs accrued against the unique WBS element(s) will be recorded as WIP. Costs are accrued based on the structure of the acquisition or contract and include a variety of costing methodologies in accordance with NPR 9060.1, Cost Accruals, and NPR 9501.2, NASA Contractor Financial Management Reporting.
126.96.36.199 When PP&E being recorded in WIP is complete, beneficially occupied, or received, delivered, and accepted, the total capital cost recorded as WIP shall be transferred to capital PP&E. Individual components or parts of the PP&E that are complete will remain in WIP until the entire PP&E is ready to be transferred from the WIP account to an asset. The capital balances transferred from WIP must be supported by sufficient supporting documentation, and any variances between the amount transferred and the supporting documentation must be reviewed and approved by the Agency Director of Financial Management prior to processing any manual adjustments.
2.4.1 NASA-owned contractor-held PP&E may be NASA-furnished as Government Furnished property, or acquired, fabricated, or modified by the contractor.
a. Contractors are contractually required to report all NASA-owned PP&E on an annual basis utilizing the NASA Form 1018, NASA Property in the Custody of Contractors (NF1018). In addition, contractors with $10 million or more in NASA-owned PP&E are required to report on a monthly basis through NASA's Contractor Held Asset Tracking System (CHATS) as contractually required. Contractors shall report the accumulated cost of identified capital PP&E as a separate line item on their cost reports in accordance with NPD 9501.1, NASA Contractor Financial Management Reporting System for all contracts awarded after October 1, 2007, that contain applicable contract clauses.
2.4.2 NASA-owned PP&E under grants and cooperative agreements provide out-grants of General PP&E in which NASA does not transfer the title of the property to the grantee. The grantee obtains the rights to use the PP&E during the period of the grant in accordance with the terms of the agreement. NASA will continue to own the General PP&E during the term of the grant and continue to account for the General PP&E in NASA's accounting system. For more details about the out-grant of NASA-owned real property, please refer to NASA NPR 5800.1, NASA Grant and Cooperative Agreement Handbook.
2.4.3 NASA-owned PP&E leased to non-NASA customers does not transfer title of the property to the lessee; the lessee obtains the rights to use the PP&E in accordance with the lease agreement. NASA will continue to own the PP&E during the term of the lease and continue to recognize and depreciate the PP&E in NASA's accounting system. For more details about Host-Tenant agreements between NASA and another organization that provide for the use of NASA facilities, institutional services, or for support services to the non-NASA customer Enhanced Use Lease Agreements (EUL), and policy on billing and collections under reimbursable agreements, please refer to NPR 9090.1, Reimbursable Agreements.
2.4.4 NASA-owned PP&E loaned to other Federal agencies remains NASA property. NASA will continue to own the PP&E during the term of the loan and continue to recognize and depreciate the PP&E in NASA's accounting system.
2.5.1 Receipt of General PP&E.
184.108.40.206 In general, NASA shall recognize general PP&E when title to the asset passes to NASA. Title passage will occur either at the time of delivery and acceptance by a Government official or at an earlier contractually specified time.
22.214.171.124 In the case of fabricated or constructed PP&E, the PP&E shall be recorded as WIP until placed in service, or when beneficial occupancy occurs, at which time, the balance will be transferred to capital PP&E.
184.108.40.206 Capitalization of WIP shall not be delayed pending final acceptance of residual closeout work, such as punch lists.
220.127.116.11 For purchased equipment, the recognition date shall be based on the shipping terms of the contract or purchase order. This will be the date shown on the receiving and inspection report or equivalent source document evidencing the receipt, passage of inspection, and acceptance by the Government unless the contract or purchase order provides other specific terms of title passage, such as after vendor installation and testing.
184.108.40.206 For construction or capital improvements of real property, capitalization shall begin on the date the PP&E are placed in service. This event is defined as the date on which the facility or improvement to a facility is available for use by NASA. The date the facility is accepted for use is known as the beneficial occupancy date.
188.8.131.52 For General PP&E assets acquired by a contractor on behalf of NASA, the recognition date shall be based upon delivery or constructive delivery either to the contractor performing the service or to a NASA facility. Delivery or constructive delivery must be based on the terms of the contract regarding delivery, receipt, and acceptance.
2.5.2 Disposal of General PP&E.
18.104.22.168 General.
184.108.40.206.1 Disposals of NASA PP&E may occur due to several reasons. The various methods of disposition will be executed in accordance with the applicable Federal regulations, and NASA policy and shall be accounted for according to the Federal accounting standards.
188.8.131.52.2 Excess PP&E. When the Agency determines that the General PP&E is no longer required for NASA's needs and decides to permanently remove, retire, or dispose of the asset, the asset shall be treated as excess property.
126.96.36.199.3 At the time the General PP&E is identified as excess, it shall be reclassified from General PP&E accounts to other appropriate asset accounts (Other Assets), along with associated accumulated depreciation, and recorded in an appropriate asset account at its expected net realizable value. NASA PP&E is presumed to have no residual/salvage value. However, no additional depreciation/amortization will be taken once such assets are removed from General PP&E in anticipation of disposal, retirement, or removal from service. General PP&E could also be deemed no longer in service when it has suffered damage or becomes obsolete and could be reclassified to other appropriate asset accounts (Other Assets) similar to excess PP&E.
184.108.40.206 Donation. Excess PP&E determined to be surplus to the needs of NASA are available for donation to other entities. NASA shall use the General Services Administration (GSA) and/or other approved transfer process and documents to accomplish the donation to other entities. General PP&E will be removed from NASA's books, along with the accumulated depreciation at the time the item is identified as excess, and will be recorded in the Other Assets account. Once the excess property is donated, the property will be removed from the Other Assets account and any loss incurred at the time of transfer will be recognized.
220.127.116.11 Sale of Surplus PP&E. Excess PP&E determined to be surplus to the needs of NASA and available for sale to the public are identified as surplus PP&E available for sale. At the time of the sale of the surplus PP&E, the transaction is recorded by removing the asset from the Other Asset account and recognizing any gains or losses on the disposition of the PP&E.
220.127.116.11 NASA-owned PP&E in the custody of contractors determined to be surplus to the needs of NASA and other Governmental agencies shall be disposed of in accordance with the provision of the FAR and NFS.
126.96.36.199 Abandonment. Abandonment is the method of disposition of PP&E with no commercial value as determined by an authorized NASA official. The timing of the abandonment (after or before the determination was made that the PP&E is excess) will determine when the disposal of the asset is recognized. If the capital PP&E is abandoned after it is being excessed, it shall be removed from the Other Assets account, and any loss on disposition of asset will be recognized. If the abandonment occurs prior to the PP&E being excessed, the abandoned PP&E will be removed from NASA's books, along with associated accumulated depreciation, and any loss on disposition will be recognized.
184.108.40.206 General PP&E assets that have been identified for permanent removal from service shall no longer be depreciated/amortized once it has been determined that the asset no longer contributes to the operations of NASA. The triggering event for disposal is the date the asset no longer provides service to the operations of NASA. The disposal date will represent the date on which the General PP&E asset, and its accumulated depreciation/amortization are no longer reported under the General PP&E account on the financial statements.
220.127.116.11 The disposal start date is defined as the calendar date of a legally enforceable and recognizable obligation to complete the disposal action or the date the operation has ceased, whichever comes later. On this date, the PP&E's net book value is removed from the financial records and the corresponding gain/loss from disposition is recorded. For demolitions, this represents the demolition contract's start date. For transfers and sales, this represents the date on which the instrument is endorsed or operation is ceased, whichever comes later. For natural disasters, this represents the actual date of the incident.
2.5.3 PP&E Temporarily Not In Use. When General PP&E is temporarily removed from service or use due to its current inactive status with the expectation that the asset eventually will be returned to service or use, the PP&E's value shall not be removed from General PP&E accounts. It will remain in the General PP&E accounts and continue to be depreciated during the period of non-use. Standby status and mothballed status are two classifications of temporary inactivity; therefore, assets placed in either of these classifications will not be removed from the General PP&E account and will continue to be depreciated during the period of non-use.
2.6.1 General. NASA General PP&E assets are those assets that have a recorded cost that meet NASA capitalization criteria--often called "capital assets" or "fixed assets." NASA PP&E will be capitalized and, with the exception of land and land rights of unlimited duration, will be depreciated/amortized. Such capitalized amounts, as well as associated amounts of accumulated depreciation and depreciation expense, will be reflected in NASA financial statements.
2.6.2 Method of Depreciation. NASA policy is that the straight-line method of depreciation be used for all assets.
2.6.3 Depreciable Basis. NASA's PP&E is presumed to have no residual/salvage value and, therefore, residual/salvage value does not affect the depreciable basis in determining depreciation. Land is not subject to depreciation. Land rights that are for a specified period of time shall be amortized over the specified time period. When land and a building are purchased together, the depreciable basis for the building is the total purchase cost less the actual cost or estimated value of the land.
2.6.4 Commencement of Depreciation. The event that triggers the calculation of depreciation is the date of receipt shown on the asset receiving document or the date the asset is installed and placed in service (regardless of whether it is actually used). For real property assets, depreciation shall commence when the facility is capitalized and placed in service, regardless of whether the facility is fully occupied or in use.
2.6.5 Excess of Useful Life. If an asset remains in use longer than its estimated useful life, it shall be retained in the property accountability or management system, as well as the accounting records. The accounting records will reflect both its recorded cost and accumulated depreciation until disposition of the asset.
2.6.6 Changes to Useful Life. Factors such as financial and operational conditions, physical wear and tear, or technological changes can affect the useful life of specific PP&E items.

A lekythos (plural lekythoi) is a type of Greek pottery used for storing oil (Greek λήκυθος), especially olive oil. It has a narrow body and one handle attached to the neck of the vessel.
The lekythos was used for anointing dead bodies of unmarried men and many lekythoi are found in tombs. The images on lekythoi were often depictions of daily activities or rituals. Because they are so often used in funerary situations, they may also depict funerary rites, a scene of loss, or a sense of departure as a form of funerary art. These drawings are usually outline drawings that are quite expressionless and somber in appearance. The decoration of these ceramic vessels consists of a dull red and black paint. These colors may have been derived from the Bronze Age, but were not used until 530 BC in Athens. Many artists of these vessels attempted to add more color to the figures, but later abandoned the idea, which provides more of a contrast. These vessels were very popular during the 5th century BC, however there are many that have been found dating all the way back to 700 BC.
Lekythoi can be divided into five types:
- the standard or cylindrical lekythos, which measures between 30 and 50 cm though there are much larger lekythoi, up to 1 m, which may have been used to replace funerary stele,
- the Deianeria lekythos which originates from Corinth, this form has an oval profile and a round shoulder and is generally of a small size (20 cm), it was produced from the beginning of the black figure period until the late 6th century,
- the secondary or shoulder lekythos, a variation on the standard type produced from the mid 5th century on, most are decorated with the white ground technique and measure around 20 cm,
- the squat lekythos, usually less than 20 cm in height with a rounded belly and a flat base,
- the acorn lekythos, a rarer form, which has an oval profile and a net of points at the base.

LAWRENCEVILLE, Ga. -- Gwinnett County Police are looking for a man suspected of burglarizing at least two Lawrenceville homes.
Police spokesman Cpl. Jake Smith said 20-year-old Damion Burnell is accused of burglarizing the houses with 19-year-old D'Andrew Green.
One of the robberies happened on July 27. Ten-year-old Christopher King, who was alone in the house, hid under his bed and called 911.
Green was arrested near the scene, but Burnell managed to get away, according to Smith.
Now, Smith said, the same two suspects are believed to be behind another recent burglary at a house on Arnold Mill Way.
Police have issued two warrants for burglary for Burnell. Anyone who sees him is asked to call 911 or Gwinnett County Police at 770-513-5300.

Rwanda has managed to contain the inflation rates in the region recording a decrease from 4.6 per cent to 3.65 per cent at the end of 2013.
The decrease is attributed to the lower prices of food especially vegetables which rose by 4.3 compared to 10.5 recorded in November 2013.
Previously, the rise in prices rate for the month of June accelerated to 3.68 per cent up from 2.98 per cent in May which was attributed to the increase in prices of vegetables which rose to 4.8 percent
While in the month of October remained unchanged at 5.1 percent compared to September due to the stable decrease in prices of Irish potatoes (4.9 percent) and on tomatoes (29.2 precent), in spite of increased prices of beans, fish and alcoholic beverages

The conference will offer a unique opportunity to discuss on how governments, donors, investor and private sector can support positive progress in rural and agriculture market development,

Ft. Polk soldier being held on murder charges
Mon, Dec 31, 2012
A man wanted in a murder case out of East Texas is being held in Vernon Parish, according to Vernon Parish Sheriff's Office Chief of Detectives Marvin Hilton.
Hilton said 21-year-old Andrew Conrad Norwine was taken into custody Monday at Fort Polk. He was slated to be picked up by Texas authorities in coming days.
Norwine is a suspect in the murder of Ronnie Joe Gammage, a Longview, Texas man. Two others are also accused in the case. Twenty-year-old Sarah Haslam and 19-year-old Daniel Jones, both of Longview, also are charged with the beating death of 27-year-old Gammage.
Court documents say the death was related to Gammage's attempt to regain property after his wallet was stolen in a November mugging.
Norwine, who is active duty military, is being held on $1 million bond.
According to KLTV in Tyler, Texas, Gammage went missing in early December. His body was found burned in Upshur County two weeks later.
KLTV also reports that Norwine was AWOL from the Army.

For immediate release
February 6, 2006
The works of artist and UTB/TSC Professor of Fine Arts Carlos G. Gomez will be featured in an exhibit at the Richardson Art Gallery in the Art Building.
Gomez's exhibit titled The Chupacabra Chronicles opens with a reception at 6:30 p.m. on Tuesday, February 21 and runs through Thursday, March 23.
"Brightly colored buildings and the surreal atmosphere of the Mexican border towns gave me the first appreciation of color, line, and the generalization that my chosen images would have to be bold and realistic," explains Gomez.
The Chupacabra Chronicles is an exhibition that looks at the other side of the fabled Chupacabra. Gomez presents a variety of art pieces that document the milder way of life of the Chupacabra.
Keeping in step with his multi-media and multi-technique approach to his artwork, Gomez presents several large canvases and an array of works on paper.
"Not only are there green ones, but red ones, and some with freckles," said Gomez. "This idea of producing a body of artwork whose content was the Chupacabra started a few years ago as I traveled in Mexico and the cloud forest of lower Tamaulipas, Mexico, I had to bring the idea into fruition."
The viewers will see everyday activities that range from harvesting papayas among exotic Caribbean people to their incarceration in South America.
Gomez says that he made an effort in capturing a sense of individuality and gave each one a distinct character.
Gomez was born in Mexico, Districto Federal and found his first artistic expression in the Texas – Mexico culture of the Rio Grande Valley, especially in Brownsville where he was raised. He pursued his Bachelor's degree of Fine Art at Pan American University, which is now UT-Pan American, and continued his graduate studies at Washington State University for his Master's of Fine Art in Painting and Drawing.
The Richardson Gallery, located upstairs in the Art Building, is open from 10:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday and Wednesday; 11 a.m. to 7 p.m., Tuesday and Thursday.
The gallery is closed during Spring Break, March 13-18. Admission is $3 and student semester passes are $6.
For more information or special accommodations, please call 882-7097 or email email@example.com or visit the website at http://blue.utb.edu/artgallery.

Tactical Pants - Galls
A popular choice for public safety professionals, the Galls Tactical Pants are...
Kel-Tec's SU16 rifle series is chambered in .223 Remington and uses AR-15 magazines. It folds for storage and transport. A unique feature of the SU16 is the two 10-round magazines that store in the butt stock of the rifle. This means you have an onboard source of emergency ammunition. That's a great feature to have in a patrol rifle. The 1917-style mount on the SU16's receiver allows the user to mount a red dot sight or scope. It possesses a level of accuracy that should be more than adequate for a patrol rifle.

Vintage Save the Date Cards for a great first impression
Vintage Save the Dates
Old world meets new in our timeless collection of vintage Save the Date Cards. Printed on our premium luxe stock, these Vintage Save the Dates will make a great first impression on your wedding guests.
What our customers say about our vintage save the dates
I will enthusiastically recommend Love vs Design to anyone I know. I can't say enough good stuff about how easy they made this process of ordering Save the Dates! We are in the design field in Manhattan, and have so much going on that we just had to hand our Save the Date off to someone to design quickly for us - but we were nervous because we are picky! All I can say is WOW! I wish the design teams I work with were as responsive as these guys. They were quick to make changes (and we had a few because we wanted to see different color combo's and we changed some text). It is perfect, and it was done so quickly, that it was such a relief to check something off my massive wedding to do list with barely any effort on my part! Their attitude and helpfulness were beyond what I ever expected. Thank you, thank you, thank you Love vs Design!
Wonderful quality
From start to finish our experience was just above and beyond. We were really torn between save the dates and the staff helped us choose which one, which color etc. They answered questions fast and by fast I mean literally right away. They were always online for the chat options to ask questions. The quality of the save the date cards is wonderful. Overall I can't say enough. High quality product and service. I would recommend for all wedding invitations, save the dates etc...just wonderful.
Please note, all of our printed save the dates have moved over to our Etsy Shop and they can be only be purchased there.

SLIDESHOW: First open day of the year for animal charity
Posted: January 13, 2014|
STAFF, volunteers and visitors have enjoyed the first open day of the new year at an Ashbourne animal rescue and rehoming centre.
Ashbourne and District Animal Welfare Society, which last year celebrated its 25th birthday and took in its 1,000th dog, holds regular open days to showcase the work it carries out in rescuing and rehoming cats and dogs.
Its centre in Wyaston Road, which is dubbed 'The Ark', takes centre stage as sales of bric-a-brac are set up while guests are invited to tour the kennels and cattery.
Open days are held each month and are a good chance to visit the centre, which is open by appointment only at other times of the year.
As the centre is self-funded, it relies on events and open days and a busy calendar of themed events is laid on each year.
The next event to take place at The Ark will be the Be My Valentine open day on Sunday, February 9 from 11am until 4pm and this will be followed by a March Madness open day during the same times on Sunday, March 16.

9 Simple Ideas For Christmas Decor
When Mark and I were first married and still in grad school, he painted dozens of ornaments on shirt cardboard. They still have pride of place on our trees every year. For this tree — it was 1976, when Kate was eight and Alexa was five — we made garlands of popcorn string and red wooden beads that looked like cranberries. They were cute, but not cute enough for the time it took!" — DUANE HAMPTON
"I'm from New Orleans, and once, after a hurricane, my mother gathered the fallen magnolia leaves and preserved them in glycerine until Christmas. We painted them gold. I grew up loving the glitz of Christmas, and this tree, in my house in Los Angeles, reflects it. It holds all of the blown-glass ornaments my husband and I collected in the early years of our marriage, glass beads, and the glitter-and-feather concoctions of our daughters." — SUZANNE RHEINSTEIN

The Minnesota Obesity Center has been a key in promoting the transformation of the approach to obesity science and education in Minnesota. The success and visibility of obesity science at Minnesota, led by members of the Minnesota ONRC, stimulated further obesity program development.
The Obesity Consortium of Minnesota is the new umbrella organization that encompasses combined programs from the Minnesota Obesity Center, the University of Minnesota Obesity Prevention Center and the University of Minnesota TREC (Transdisciplinary Research on Energetics and Cancer Center). In past reports we have described the Consortium founding, which began as an effort to facilitate multidisciplinary collaboration and foster cooperation in obesity research, education, and outreach efforts at the University of Minnesota.
In this last year, the Consortium successfully carried out its first major collaborative project, the joint 2006 Pilot & Feasibility Program. This program involved bringing together the pilot funding sources and procedures from the three major funding entities in the consortium, agreeing on the combined procedures, and then soliciting and evaluating the pilot and feasibility applications.
The program sparked great interest in the Minnesota research community and resulted in 36 applications, 12 awards and a total of $613,213 (Direct Costs) in Pilot & Feasibility funds awarded over the next two years. The combined effort produced broader publicity and generated a greater number of higher quality applications than had previously been achieved.
