Kevin Xi had no trouble getting a mortgage to buy a 1.53 million yuan ($242,563) one-bedroom apartment in Beijing last month, even as China's government tries to cool the housing market. He even got a 10 percent reduction on interest.
"I didn't expect to get such a good rate," said Xi, 27, an employee of a property company whose 960,000 yuan mortgage loan with Bank of China Ltd. was approved within five working days. "I thought only employees from government agencies or state-owned companies qualified."
The government is pushing in two directions as it seeks to slow price growth while avoiding a collapse. It's lowering borrowing costs for first-time homebuyers to encourage purchases while Premier Wen Jiabao keeps curbs in place to stem the speculators who have helped drive home prices up by as much as 140 percent since 1998. China's 18 percent first-quarter drop in home sales contributed to the slowest economic growth in almost three years.
"Property is an important sector for China's economy," said Jack Gong, a Hong Kong-based property analyst at Jefferies Group Inc. "The central government will not forcefully crack down on the market even if it is not supporting it. Fine-tuning the mortgage policies shows the government's clear intention to uphold economic growth."
The benchmark rate for mortgages in China is the five-year lending rate set by the People's Bank of China, currently 7.05 percent. Bank of China, China Construction Bank Corp. and Agricultural Bank of China Ltd. offer as much as a 10 percent discount to borrowers the banks deem as safest in Beijing, while smaller lenders such as China Merchants Bank Co. and Bank of Beijing Co. are charging the benchmark rate, according to Bacic & 5i5j Group, Beijing's second-biggest real-estate agency.
Government Easing
Lenders in Beijing started offering mortgages to first-home buyers at or below the central bank's benchmark rate in February, compared with rates 5 percent to 10 percent higher in the second half of last year, said Wu Hao, a manager at the loan brokerage of Bacic & 5i5j. Home buyers in Beijing and Shanghai could get as much as a 15 percent discount, according to the realtor.
The lower mortgage rates for those buying their first properties are an indication that the government may gradually ease its more stringent home-purchase restrictions in the second quarter, according to CLSA Asia-Pacific Markets, a unit of Credit Agricole SA.
'Gradual Easing'
"It is clear that the government has eased its controls over bank lending to first-time homebuyers," said Andy Rothman, CLSA's China macro strategist in an interview in Shanghai. "These are the first hints of what will be gradual easing of central government enforcement of the house purchase restrictions."
Home sales in 33 out of 40 cities jumped in March from the previous month, according to SouFun Holdings Ltd., the country's biggest real-estate website.
Xi is ready to move into his new one-bedroom 58 square- meter (624 square-foot) home, which he said had basic décor and he didn't plan to renovate. The five-year-old apartment is located outside Beijing's Fourth Ring Road, one of the capital's six highway loops.
Property Curbs
China's campaign to put the brakes on a surge in property prices began two years ago and measures in place include higher mortgage and down-payment requirements, and home-purchase restrictions for about 40 cities. Home prices grew 6 percent in 2010 after surging 25 percent the previous year when the government started imposing the curbs. Last year, the statistics bureau changed the way it calculates home prices, abandoning a nationwide index.
Home buyers in China are required to put down 30 percent of the property's price to purchase their first home and 50 percent for a second property. Down payments were raised to 40 percent and 60 percent for first and second homes, respectively, in China's eastern province of Zhejiang last year as part of the government's efforts to keep housing affordable.
Authorities have refrained from cutting interest rates amid inflation concerns. The central bank increased interest rates three times last year.
Large Down Payments
About 50 percent to 70 percent of home buyers in China's major or first-tier cities of Shanghai, Beijing and Guangzhou take out mortgages to buy homes, borrowing on average 50 percent, according to Centaline Property Agency Ltd., China's biggest real-estate brokerage. The loans, whose rates move with the benchmark rate, usually have maturities from five to 30 years, depending on borrowers' ability to repay.
Buyers in smaller cities, the so-called second- and third- tier cities such as Wenzhou in Zhejiang province, tend to pay cash. That compares with Australia, where more than 35 percent of new homeowners in the quarter ended Dec. 31 borrowed at least 80 percent of their property's value, according to central bank figures.
"The smaller the cities the buyers are in, the more willing they are to pay cash," said Liu Yuan, a Shanghai-based Centaline researcher. "Interest rates are not really affecting home purchase decisions. Chinese buyers care more about current discounts rather than the lower costs for borrowing money."
Unsold new homes in 10 cities, including Beijing and Shanghai, tracked by Bacic & 5i5j jumped 46 percent from a year earlier to 594,500 units as of March 31, indicating rising risks and a higher probability that local governments may "fine- tune" policies to reduce inventories, the agency said in an April 13 report.
Sales Rebound
The central bank said last month it will ensure that "loan demand from first-home families" is met. Housing Minister Jiang Weixin said in December that China would prioritize loans for first-home buyers and support reasonable property purchase demand. The government has lowered the amount of cash that banks must set aside as reserves twice since November to boost liquidity and spur loan growth.
Home sales in March reached 373.3 billion yuan, surpassing the first two months of the year combined, according to the government data on April 13.
March home sales at China Vanke Co., the biggest developer by market value listed on Chinese exchanges, jumped 23.5 percent from last year to 11.5 billion yuan, while Poly Real Estate Group Co. said they rose 47 percent. Mortgage lending discounts boosted demand from first-home buyers, said Tan Huajie, Vanke's board secretary in an e-mailed statement on April 5.
Currently about 80 percent to 90 percent of purchasers in the market are first-time buyers, according to Century 21 China Real Estate, the country's second-biggest brokerage.
Fine Balance
China Construction Bank, the world's second-biggest lender by market value, was one of the first Chinese lenders last year to increase the interest rate for first homes to 10 percent more than the benchmark rate. Now it is offering mortgage rates "appropriately" lower than the benchmark for first-home buyers to reduce their borrowing costs, the lender's Vice President Zhao Huan said at a briefing in Beijing March 26.
The government should gradually loosen or even support demand from end users, such as first-time homebuyers, to offset the sharp decline in investment demand, according to Citigroup Inc. China's economy grew a less-than-forecast 8.1 percent in the first three months from a year earlier, the slowest pace in 11 quarters, according to government data on April 13.
"The central government is searching a balanced point between tightening and loosening the policies," wrote Citigroup's Hong Kong-based analysts led by Oscar Choi in a report on March 29.
Price Cuts
The biggest mortgage discounts Chinese banks offered were as much as 30 percent below the benchmark rate in 2008, when the country's home sales slumped 17 percent, retreating for the first time since the 1998 privatization of the housing market.
It was unlikely banks would offer those kind of discounts this year because they would hurt their profitability, according to UBS AG.
The impact on home sales of lower mortgage rates for first- home buyers is limited, because buyers would rather wait for more price cuts with the government's determination to bring home prices down, Chen Li, head of China equity strategy at UBS, said in an interview in Shanghai. Home prices fell for the seventh month in March from February, according to SouFun.
'Resolute' on Restrictions
China's Premier Wen Jiabao has said the government will "resolutely" maintain its curbs on the property market, and the country's home prices were far from a reasonable level.
"Direct price cuts would be more effective than mortgage rate discounts," Chen said. " Hadn't Wen made such remarks, the easing of mortgage lending rates would have given a bigger boost to the market."
As for Xi, he says he is just happy to have gained entry into Beijing's property market, where prices have surged 30 percent from the beginning of 2009 to the end of 2010, even though his commute to work will increase to about one hour by public transport from a 15-minute walk from the apartment he rents now.
"I just like finally having my own place, even though that means I'll spend more time on the road," said Xi. "I think home prices in Beijing will still rise, and since I'm qualified to buy here, why not just go ahead."

Yale accepts Coach Williams' resignation
Yale University today accepted the resignation of head football coach Tom Williams. Williams' resignation is effective December 31, said Director of Athletics Tom Beckett.
"I wish to clear the record," Williams said in offering his resignation. "On the Rhodes Scholarship issue, I was encouraged to apply by the Stanford Fellowship office, which identified me 'as the kind of student who demonstrates the intellect, energy and commitment that the Rhodes selection committees seek in their applicants.' I considered the opportunity, sought advice and was encouraged to apply by faculty members and my coach Bill Walsh, but I did not apply."
"During the spring of my senior year, I was given an opportunity to attend a try-out camp with the San Francisco 49ers, and I participated in that three-day event. I did not sign a free agent contract with the 49ers or participate in their summer training camp for signed players."
"I am extremely proud of my academic, athletic and coaching career. If there was confusion created, I take full responsibility. The timing of this inquiry has been difficult for everyone. At this point I believe it is in the best interest of my student-athletes and Yale University that I step down."
In accepting Williams' resignation, Beckett said, "Coach Williams has been a dedicated teacher and coach at Yale, and his students have benefited greatly from his leadership and passion for the game of football."
Beckett said the University would immediately begin a search for Williams' successor.

The Mouse Phenome Database (MPD) provides access to primary experimental trait data, genotypic variation, protocols and analysis tools for mouse genetic studies. Data are contributed by investigators worldwide and represent a broad scope of phenotyping endpoints and disease-related traits in naïve mice and those exposed to drugs, environmental agents or other treatments. MPD ensures rigorous curation of phenotype data and supporting documentation using relevant ontologies and controlled vocabularies. As a repository of curated and integrated data, MPD provides a means to access/re-use baseline data, as well as allows users to identify sensitized backgrounds for making new mouse models with genome editing technologies, analyze trait co-inheritance, benchmark assays in their own laboratories, and many other research applications. MPD's primary source of funding is NIDA. For this reason, a majority of MPD data is neuro- and behavior-related.

Have you had your home on the market for a while,
had a few potential buyers round for viewing, but still not
getting the offers you want ?
On many occasions this can be due to a few visual
things putting off potential buyers.
Not everyone wants to buy a property that they know will require additional work once they move in. Even the smallest things can put people off.
Take a look around your property and imagine yourself as a potential buyer - do you see things that would put you off ?
A crack in the wall, a broken light fitting, creaking stairs, a door that wont close !
Let's face it we all have a few things around our homes that we just get used too, thats why we all have a 'To-Do' list.
Don't waste any more time waiting for the right buyer to come along.
Why not prepare a list of things that you think may be affecting your ability to sell, then contact me for an estimate of repairs.
I can then carry out all your requirements, enhancing your chances of getting your property sold so you can move on with your life.
Moving in to your new home ?
So you've finally sold your house and moved in to your
new home, or maybe it's your first property !
There's always 101 things that need doing when you've
just moved in,
Fitting curtain poles, changing locks, installing washing machines and dishwashers, assembling new furniture, fitting lights, the list goes on.
Once again I can help you with all those jobs you dont have time to do while your unpacking.
Just prepare your list of requirements and I can fit them in around you.
I can carry out any requirement before, during and even after you have moved in and all at a time convenient to suit you.

Can anybody be kind enough to explain what exactly is a super palindrome?
Also consider the following example :
The largest prime factor of $88888888$ is $137$
$88888888:137=648824:101$ ($101$ being largest prime factor of $648824$) = $6424:73$ ($73$ being largest prime factor of $6424$) this in turn equals to $88$ (a palindrome)
Finally, $88:11$ ($11$ being largest prime factor of 88 and a palindrome) equals to $8$ which is also a palindrome.
Now, given this post and its comments, will it be correct to call $88888888$ a super palindrome?
Can it be possible to call a number a super palindrome if it generates non palindromes along with palindromes, provided the non-palindromes finally generate using the method of division by largest prime factor, a palindrome other than 1?

Hawkwind History
In the summer of 1987, there were many alternative circles developing in the Atlanta area. New Age Information Network, RAMA, and South Eastern Earth Alliance were just a few. Many members of those circles met on the same rented pieces of land, one of them being The Four Winds Village in Tiger, GA. It was in that place we all came together to honor the Harmonic Convergence and pray forward our desires to leave the big city and return to the source of the Earth. A search began for a Sacred land base that resulted in the creation of Hawkwind as well as several other centers that still exist.
Hawkwind was discovered on Earth Day 1988 and dedicated on Memorial Day weekend with 88 friends and families of many circles. Today, there are still a dozen of us from that original group and many, many hundreds who have passed through this gateway to grow, heal and experience the healing practices of Earth's ancient cultures. From our beginning with nothing more than Charla and her daughters in tents and Tarwater in his traveling Tipi, we celebrated all the wonderful developments on this Sacred land, as a family who has shared this vision together since it's creation. Almost everything on the land is designed to be earth friendly and managed as a Sacred Alter of healing and safe haven.
The land itself has a story that started long before we were here. Two Native Chiefs controlled this mountain. Red Headed Wills, who was part Irish and Young Tassel, who left behind a red haired, freckle faced lineage as well. In our first year we brought the families of these ancestors to this land to teach us what had been left here. With the great great grandson of Young Tassel and the family maps, we were able to locate many special places on the land.
It is our understanding, that the lodge area and the valley surrounding us is filled with more herbs than any place else in the entire U.S. and is topped only by Peru and Vietnam in variety. This land has been honored as a ceremonial grounds since the day we arrived. We have kept the energy as pure as possible with no alcohol and no chemicals on the land. Everything is maintained as a Sacred Alter with many portals of healing.
Programs focus on natural methods of healing and transformation, self reliance and earth skills. A must as we move through these Earth change times.
What we restore now is the future of the next Seven Generations.

Hey. If you're reading this, you probably searched up posts related to "villainy" and such. If you go by the dictionary definition, just know that synonyms like criminal, thief, and bad guy don't even come close to describing us. Villains.
Voldemort may have been the evil dude and Harry Potter the good. I don't frickin' care. My parents died when I was five. Now, I can barely remember what my mother looks like, much less my dad. I became an orphan, in one of the orphanages in San Francisco. Two years later, I ran off. Couldn't stand that place any longer. And guess what? If you think villains are the cruel ones, the sinister and wicked, you're wrong. Because the only person who bothered to take me in from the streets was a Villain.


text: Welcome Spring! Posted on March 18, 2016 by Crooked Bear Creek Organic Herbs At 5000 feet on the north side of the Range Creek Mountains, it still feels like spring is long ways away. It is lightly snowing out as I write this and more snow is in the forecast. The first of the Daffodils have bloomed though and I am grateful for their sunny optimism. We had violet flowers to adorn our salad too. This morning's dog walk was filled with the song of robins and red wing blackbirds. The bluebirds and meadowlarks are back too! Everywhere I walked I saw huge, velvety mullein leaves pushing out of the ground. It has been a long cold and flu season for this community and my daughter has yet another cold. This plant is prolific around here, and perhaps because of that, a plant that I hadn't given much thought to, other than being great for ear troubles. But this morning, mullein was calling to me to make a tea out of those new leaves. Mullein is an excellent expectorant and a respiratory ally. Already my daughter's cough has been more productive and the wheezing in her lungs has subsided. How timely that mullein would appear at this time of year when I needed her most. I also made another batch of elderberry elixir with mullein leaf and yarrow. Look for this delicious, immune building elixir below. Ah, mullein in the height of summer! I love the hairy green leaves, the pineapple weed, and the promise of spring it evokes! DIY: Elderberry Elixir In a glass pyrex pot with a lid or other non-reactive cookware, add the following: 1 c dried elderberries 1 c dried or fresh mullein leaf 1/8 c dried or fresh yarrow leaf 1/4 c dried marshmallow root 1/4 c dried slippery elm bark 1/8 c dried licorice root 1/2 c dried lemon balm 1/8 c dried echinacea root 1/8 c dried ginger root 8 cups water Heat the herbs and water, covered, over low heat and simmer for about 30 minutes. Leave the lid on and let cool. Smash the berries and herbs with a potato masher or back of a spoon. Strain off plant material and feed to the chickens. You should have about 3 cups of liquid left. Add 2 c honey. I had some elecampane honey and a little oregano infused honey that I used for this. Any raw honey will do. You can learn how to make your own infused honey . Stir until honey is dissolved. Add 1 c dark cherry juice, Aronia berry or pomegranate juice Add 1 c of your favorite cordial. I used goji berry and ginger this time. Or use brandy or rum. Pour into dark bottles and store in the refrigerator. I find this elixir almost impossible to resist and my daughter loves it too. Take it daily to keep the viruses away or use as a cough syrup.

Why Stories are Told About Short Term Cash Loans
If you ever told someone that you were looking at using short term cash loans to help afford the emergencies, you would probably hear a gasp and the person telling you not to bother. There are a lot of myths behind short term cash loans and a lot that people do not really understand. There is no doubt that short term cash loans can be risky but there are times that the good outweighs the bad.
The main benefit is that there are no credit checks on short term cash loans, which brings the myth that anybody can borrow the money. This is one of those myths that needs to be set straight; it will all depend on the lender of the short term cash loans over whether you will actually get the money. There are requirements set for them, which will mean that not everybody will be able to get their hands on short term cash loans. The main requirements are your employment status and the amount you earn each month.
The interest rates are a scary thought for many when it comes to short term cash loans. Many people believe that the interest rates are so high that they are not worth it. Yes, the APRs on short term cash loans are high but that is not something that you should worry about too much. These loans are designed for short term borrowing, which means that you will need to pay it back within the first 31 days. Because of that, there are other fees on the loans, which are lower than your overdraft fees or charges for going over your credit limit.
Of course, the problem with the APR levels is that if you do decide to keep the money for longer than you should then you will need to pay them. This is something to bear in mind when you are looking at taking out the loans.
Another scary thought for many people is the damage that the loans can do to your credit rating. Many people believe that having to borrow this money will make you look irresponsible and will damage your credit rating. However, these loans can actually help your rating because you are able to show that you can borrow money and pay it back on time. Yes, they can do damage if you refuse to pay the money back on the date that you agree to; that is the same with any type of loan that you take out.
There are many stories behind short term cash loans and you will need to bear them in mind when you look at applying for one. However, most of the time, the stories are told because not so many people understand what this type of lending is all about. They are an excellent way to bridge the gap between paydays when you are struggling to afford the emergencies one month. However, that is all they are good for; there are many times that you should never consider using them.

ATLANTA, Ga. -- Facing one of the top teams in the country, the Covenant volleyball team took No. 3 Emory to extra points in the third set but ultimately were swept in a 3-0 loss (25-15, 25-14, 29-27) at Woodruff PE Center on Thursday night.
The loss snapped a five-match win streak for Covenant (8-7). Emory (12-1) has won 11 straight and moved up a spot in this week's AVCA Top 25 for Division III to No. 3.
Facing a 2-0 deficit, Covenant responded with a strong effort in the third set. Covenant went on an 8-2 run early in the frame to grab a 10-6 lead after a combined block from Schuyler Moore and Allie Jakes forcing an Emory timeout. The Lady Scots would also hold 14-11 and 17-14 leads during the set before Emory came back each time. Covenant would have set point chances twice, but Emory fought through those and would eventually pull out the 29-27 victory for the match. In total, the set featured 12 ties and four lead changes.
Ginny Moore led Covenant with eight kills to go along with nine digs. Hannah Harris tallied six kills and Chloe Storm had a team-high six total blocks. Schuyler Moore recorded 19 assists and eight digs, while Emily Moore led the defense with 13 digs. Jessica Seehorn added 10 digs and two total blocks.
Emory only trailed once over the first two sets to gain a 2-0 match lead. The host Eagles used 12 team blocks to limit Covenant to a negative hitting percentage, while flexing their collective muscle on the attack. Ranked in the top five nationally in kills per set and hitting percentage, Emory finished with just a .169 percentage but tallied 21 kills in the decisive third set victory.
Sara Carr led Emory with nine kills, while Sydney Leimbach had seven and three other Eagles had six apiece. Mady Arles had 20 assists and Elyse Thompson had a match-high 19 digs in the win for Emory.
Covenant will return to Barnes PE Center on Saturday for a USA South tri-match. The Lady Scots face Huntingdon at 12 p.m., then Agnes Scott at 4 p.m. Huntingdon and Agnes Scott face each other at 2 p.m.

Want more proof teenagers are actually the worst?
Look no further than Oregon, where a 19-year-old caused a three-vehicle crash on U.S. 26 after deciding to hold his breath while driving — a stunt that caused him to faint and injure four people.
The three-vehicle crash in a tunnel on U.S. 26 west of Manning happened about 4:45 p.m. Sunday. Oregon State Police said that Daniel J. Calhoon, 19 of Snohomish, Wash., was headed west in a 1990 Toyota Camry near milepost 40 when he told police he decided to hold his breath entering a tunnel. He fainted, causing the Camry to cross the centerline. The Camry collided head-on with an eastbound 2013 Ford Explorer. Both vehicles then smashed into the interior tunnel walls and a third vehicle, a 1999 GMC pickup, hit the Camry.
Calhoon and his passenger, Bradley Meyring, 19 of Edmonds, Wash., were taken by ground ambulance to Legacy Emanuel Medical Center. Meyring was listed in serious condition on Monday; Calhoon was not listed as being at Legacy.
The driver of the Ford Explorer and his passenger were transported to Providence St. Vincent Medical Center. They were released from the hospital shortly after. The two people in the pickup were not injured.
And Calhoon, who clearly still believes in the childhood superstition that holding your breath in a tunnel will ensure a wish comes true, was cited for reckless driving, recklessly endangering three other people, and assault.
We're sure, however, that was not his wish.

Accounting Free Apparel Business Case Study Homework Help
- November 4, 2017
- Posted by:
- Category: Accounting QA
Best UK USA UAE Australia Canada China Accounting Free Apparel Business Case Study Homework Help Service Online
Free Apparel began their business several years ago and recently lost their accountant. Thankfully, they have been able to hire a fine accounting/finance student from MSU. They have provided you with the unadjusted trial balance for Free Apparel Incorporated as of 12/31/09. Free Apparel needs to issue financial statements in accordance with US GAAP for the year ended 12/31/2009.
Your required tasks are as follows
1. On the designated worksheet, prepare in journal entry form all adjusting and correcting journal entries based on the following information (Round all numbers to the nearest dollar). Before preparing entries, finish the story by filling in the blanks.
a. On June 1, 2009 a 19 month insurance policy was purchased for $24,000.
b. On 7/1/2009, Free paid Glamor Advertising $50,000 for two years of advertising services. Equal services are provided each month.
c. Free Apparel needed some temporary additional storage space so on 7/1/2009 they rented a unit for an annual rate of $12,000.
d. $14,250 of store supplies were purchased during the year and store supplies expense was increased. $9,850 of these supplies remain at the end of the year.
e. $2,500 of office supplies were purchased during the year and the asset office supplies was increased. $1,619 of these supplies remained at the end of 2009.
f. On December 1, 2009, Free Apparel issued a 3-month note receivable to New Skin Company at an annual interest rate of 10%. Principle and interest will be paid at the end of the 3-months. The note was recorded in Notes Receivable and is the only note outstanding.
g. You note that store equipment and office equipment has not been depreciated for this year. The company uses DDB. Free Apparel expects to use all equipment for 20 years with a salvage value of $1,000 for each.
h. The storage building was purchased this year on February 1. The building is being depreciated on a straight-line basis using partial year. The building is estimated to have a life of 40 years and a savage value of $18,619.
i. Office salaries of $9,800 remained unpaid at 12/31/09, but the prior accountant did not accrue. Sales personnel are also due their last commission check which is net sales times 1%.
j. On 7/1/2009, Free Apparel rented a portion of one store to Twister Co. The contract was for 19 months and Free Apparel required all of the cash up front. The rent is being earned equally each month. When cash was received, unearned rent was appropriately recorded and no revenue has been recorded for this transaction in 2009.
k. Based on your review of the cash balances, you note that there was an overdraft of ($10,250) in one of your bank accounts where this is the only account at that bank. The previous accountant netted this amount with the other cash accounts.
l. At 12/31/2009, based on the aging method of all accounts with debit balances, Free apparel determines that uncollectible accounts are $94,250.
m. Free Apparel uses the Dollar Value LIFO inventory method. For internal purposes, the Merchandise Inventory Account is maintained at FIFO (current costs). At the end of the year, the LIFO reserve account is adjusted so inventory on the balance sheet reflects Dollar Value LIFO. You need to calculate the proper inventory balance and adjust the LIFO reserve. The price index for this year is 1.06. Prior year inventory records show the following calculation for 2008:
n. Free Apparel was authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of $1 par Common Stock but has only issued 500,000 shares of common stock at 12/31/2009. All 500,000 shares are outstanding.
o. Free Apparel has two loans outstanding. Interest is paid annually. The facts on each loan is as follows:
Onstar Bank – outstanding since March 1, 2009 with a 6.5% interest rate.
Coldstar Bank – outstanding since 7/1/2009, with a 5.9 %.
Since interest will not be paid until 2010, Free Apparel did not accrue any interest.
p. Free Apparel has a straight tax rate of 28%.
q. The Land Account includes a piece of land with a cost and fair value of $225,000 that is not currently being used in the normal operations of the building. This piece of land is being held for speculative purposes.
r. On January 1, 2007, Free Apparel purchased a patent for $70,000. At the time of the purchase the patent had an estimated useful life of 7 years with no residual value. In 2009, the company has estimated that the patent will only be useful until the end of 2010. No one knows what to do with this information so no amortization has been recorded for 2009.
s. As of 12/31/2009 the Available for Sale Securities have a fair value of $82,619. Due to the major market decline, the company does not plan on selling the assets in 2010, but their intent is to sell at some point in time. (Hint: Unrealized gains and losses can be recorded directly to Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.
t. During the year, Free Apparel did some research and development on some new products. They properly expensed all of the research but the accountant read in an article that under IFRS they could capitalize development costs so he capitalized $189,000 of development expenses as an other intangible asset.
1. After the above adjusting entries are entered on the adjustment worksheet, the cells should be linked to the adjustments column of the worksheet. Your adjustment amounts in the worksheet column should be linked to the adjustment sheet so if you change the debit/credit amount in the adjusting entry, the column amount will automatically change.
2. Complete the adjusted columns by the use of the formula. Think about the best way to do this. Your last two columns should never contain constant numbers but will include formulas only. (Maximum points are given for using an 'if" statement, but the majority of the points are just given for having a proper formula).

Ok, shit.

Uploaded my new video for all you journal addicts out there, I'm not publicly (forums) releasing it for another week. You can get it here: <url>http://www.animemusicvideos.org/members/members_videoinfo.php?v=12643</url>
It's using an american series called the Undergrads, a hilarious show that MTV aired for awhile, and then dumped on Comedy Central. The song is called Raum Der Zeit, and it's by a german band called Wizo. Watch the vid, tell me what you think.
Fugging hosting...
2002-11-18 19:06:10
Damn... apparently People can't get enough of my "Not Another One!" video, as well as "Hamtaro Is Hardcore", and several of my old vids. I have had nearly 60 gigs worth of transfer in the past 3 weeks, since I released NAO. My hosting has gone through three different companies in that time, and its starting to strain... Oh well, anything for a laugh. Thanks for the support guys. It really honestly means alot to me, and its good to know I have fans... even if they do email/IM me at least once an hour wanting to know if thaat scene I used in NAO was a homage/parody of Xianpower's "Bitches" video. If anyone is still wondering, yes. Yes it was.
If you're reading this, tell me what you think of my vids, either in reviews or drop me an IM. I always like to hear from someone new.
-Wilson Out.
- Holy. Shit. 2002-09-10 00:11:51 Wow. Not a hit past 100 on my first public video for a week, and I advertise on the forum for my Old-Crappy-I'm-Still-Learning-Premiere-First-Video, and suddenly things jump through the ceiling. Wow. and from the one rating I got on it, people think I did ok... I thought it was a trainwreck... and the numbers shot up massively for my Sealab 2021 vid too.... and sadly, that is the one I'm much more proud of... well, off to work on my Excel Saga Vid... Wow...

Package: apt Version: 0.8.16~exp5 Severity: wishlist User: email@example.com Usertags: multiarch I've been having lots of fun playing with the 'apt-get build-dep -a $arch' support added to apt in version 0.8.15.3 (fixing bug #632221). As I do so, however, I think we've made a wrong trade-off in terms of the default behavior for packages. I've actually thought this for a while, but it's become enough of a hassle now that I think I need to raise it as a bug and agitate for getting the behavior changed. :) apt accurately implements the behavior requested on <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MultiarchCross>, which says that for a package which is Multi-Arch: no, the build-dependency will be satisfied using the package for the build architecture. The rationale for this is that, whereas library -dev packages are likely to be touched anyway in order to make them Multi-Arch: same, the random other non-library packages that are used as build dependencies would not otherwise be updated to be marked Multi-Arch: foreign, so by defaulting to the build-arch packages we can focus on just getting the -dev packages marked Multi-Arch: same. This is correct as far as it goes, but there are a number of complications. - Unlike marking a package Multi-Arch: foreign, which is just adding metadata, converting a -dev package to be Multi-Arch: same is not always easy. There are no best practice guidelines yet for converting a -dev package to be Multi-Arch: same when it contains a mix of architecture-dependent and architecture-independent headers, so many of these -dev packages are not getting converted right now. Of 696 packages that have been tagged Multi-Arch: same in unstable[1], only 74 of them are -dev packages. Since some of the affected packages are pretty low in the dependency tree, this effectively stops us from reaching critical mass of cross-build-friendly multiarch -dev packages. - Whereas cross-installability of -dev packages is a must for cross-building, for the vast majority of libraries, *co*installability is merely a nice to have. There are very few libraries that you need to build against both the host and build versions of as part of a single package build; so while it's inconvenient to have to swap -dev packages out in a build environment when switching target architectures, it's tolerable... especially since it would enable uses that aren't possible today. Only the apt implementation makes M-A: same a requirement. - There are a lot more library -dev packages as build-dependencies than there are non-dev packages as build-dependencies, at least for the cases that are interesting for cross-compilation. If we ignore build-dependencies on python, java, ruby, perl, gir, haskell, and erlang packages[3], approximately[4] 60% of all build-dependencies are on library -dev packages; and of the ones that are not -dev packages, there are already more Multi-Arch tags set in the archive (91) than there are on the -dev packages[5]! This implies to me that many of these packages will be marked Multi-Arch: foreign anyway because the tag is needed for runtime. So for the above reasons I think it would be better for apt-get build-dep to require the DEB_HOST_ARCH package for M-A: no build-depends. Cc:ed to multiarch-devel and debian-embedded for comments. Since this proposal implies pushing more patches to packages to make them Multi-Arch: foreign, perhaps this should be discussed on debian-devel to get a consensus there? -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world. Ubuntu Developer http://www.debian.org/ email@example.com email@example.com [1] grep-dctrl -FMulti-Arch same /var/lib/apt/lists/_mirror_dists_sid_main_binary-amd64_Packages \ | grep -c Package [2] grep-dctrl -FMulti-Arch same /var/lib/apt/lists/_mirror_dists_sid_main_binary-amd64_Packages \ | grep -c Package.*-dev [3] grep-dctrl -sBuild-Depends -r '.' -n /var/lib/apt/lists/debian.osuosl.org_debian_dists_sid_main_source_Sources \ | sed -e's/([^)]\+)//g; s/\[[^]]\+\]//g; s/[,|]//g; s/ \+/\n/g' | sort -u \ | grep -vE 'python|java|ruby|-perl|^gir|^libghc|haskell|erlang' [4] "approximately" - because included in this count are some packages like x11proto-dev packages, which are Arch: all (and Multi-Arch: foreign), and a few packages like autotools-dev which aren't headers/libs at all [5] grep-dctrl -sBuild-Depends -r '.' -n /var/lib/apt/lists/debian.osuosl.org_debian_dists_sid_main_source_Sources \ | sed -e's/([^)]\+)//g; s/\[[^]]\+\]//g; s/[,|]//g; s/ \+/\n/g' | sort -u \ | grep -vE 'python|java|ruby|-perl|^gir|^libghc|haskell|erlang' \ | grep -v -- -dev | xargs apt-cache show |grep -c Multi-Arch

But there's a simple thing I want them to have, but WHMCS won't allow me: make it possible for the to create their own COUPON codes.
Imagine that I can set a specific client group to be able to create coupons UP TO X% or UP TO X$ , and when used, the customer would get the discount and also automatically be inserted in the Developer's Affiliate list. That would boost everyone's mood to search customers more actively.

From tablets and medical devices to everything connected to the Internet of Things (IoT), a radical shift is taking place from wired to wireless devices in hospitals. These innovations are making incredible improvements to the quality of patient care, and place hospitals that use them squarely on the cutting edge.
But frustrations are rising among hospital staff and patients as this digital explosion puts serious pressure on legacy Wi-Fi networks, leading to frequent slowdowns and outages. An average of 15 to 20 medical devices demand network access in every hospital room – and many of them are mission critical to the health of the patients they are monitoring. The high volume of hospital visitors further strains systems by trying to connect hundreds – and in large hospitals, thousands – of personal devices daily.
In today's increasingly connected hospital environment, a high level of productivity and efficiency can't be achieved without fast, reliable Wi-Fi access. But more than convenience is at stake when an interruption of even a tenth of a second can put patient lives at risk.
Slow connections, lost messages, outages, and equipment malfunctions caused by faulty Wi-Fi are directly linked to patient and employee satisfaction at hospitals. And when satisfaction plummets, so does the hospital's reputation and its ability to capitalize on market share and funding.
In an era defined by high-deductible health plans and easy access to information, patients are increasingly shopping for health care services – and not settling for anything less than the best overall experience when they need care.
A third of consumers consult friends and family for referrals before seeking medical care, and patients are quick to post unsolicited reviews of their experiences online. That means a bad experience can impact not just a single consumer but can ripple throughout an extended network of people making decisions about hospital care.
Of course, this also means consumers who have positive experiences can boost a hospital's market share. An Accenture report found that hospitals with superior patient experience scores from the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Health Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) gained net margins that averaged 50 percent higher than average-scoring providers. In fact, the analysis concluded that a hospital system with $2 billion in revenue would have to slash 460 jobs to achieve the same positive margin that improving the patient experience brings to revenue growth.
Since it was implemented in 2006, the HCAHPS standardized survey tool has carried heavyweight in the healthcare industry for measuring patients' perspectives of hospital care. Not only are great scores published for all to see, but they are tied to reimbursement that can amount to millions of dollars from Medicare and some private insurers.
Good communication is a critical part of the HCAHPS survey – and in patients' minds, that isn't just about communicating with doctors and nurses. Patients depend on reliable Wi-Fi to communicate with family and friends during their stay. Not feeling isolated from the outside world – or simply being able to entertain themselves while they wait for care – is an important part of their healing process and significantly impacts how they view their hospital experience.
People see spotty Wi-Fi connection as a direct reflection on the hospital. And that can impact the hospital's bottom line by lowering HCAHPS scores and prompting poor reviews that damage its brand. A Health Facilities Management report states that Millennials point to quality Wi-Fi as one of the top two factors that influence their decision to return to a healthcare facility.
Terrible Wi-Fi performance – or worse, outright denial of guest access – also frustrates the greater network of family members and friends who spend hours in the hospital with their loved ones, or try to contact them from other locations. As an extension of the patient – and many times, the people paying the patient's bill – hospitals aren't in a position to ignore their concerns.
Faulty Wi-Fi connections also reduce employee satisfaction at hospitals. For instance, doctors rely on instant communication between medical devices and Electronic Health Records (EHR) so that they can make decisions based on accurate, up-to-date information about patients. Medical devices also send data and alerts that enable nurses to monitor patients remotely from one main station, instead of wasting precious time manually collecting vital signs from up to six machines per patient.
When Wi-Fi is too slow or goes down, caregivers can't receive critical information about patient health that can quickly lead to life-threatening situations. Poor Wi-Fi performance also hampers a hospital staff's ability to communicate with each other, an alarming occurrence in an environment where the best patient outcomes largely depend on timely and accurate coordination.
A HealthData Management report asserts that unplanned downtime in EHR systems represents a "significant" patient safety hazard, raising the likelihood of medication errors, a lack of access to images, and canceled procedures. More than half of U.S. doctors say the health and safety of their patients have been jeopardized by an EHR system outage.
Caregivers depend on their hospital to provide the tools they need to deliver the best outcomes for their patients. It's no surprise that consistently poor Wi-Fi would cause dissatisfaction – and with their own reputations on the line, even prompt some doctors to jump ship, bringing lucrative patient followings with them. Employee satisfaction can also be the difference between a single visit from a patient and a loyal customer relationship for a hospital.
On the flip side, employees who are engaged and satisfied with their work positively influence patient satisfaction by delivering a higher quality of patient care. Nearly 90 percent of engaged hospital employees display a genuinely caring attitude toward patients, compared to 38 percent of disengaged employees.
AMN Healthcare reports that the percentage of patients who said they would "definitely recommend" a hospital to their loved ones dropped by two percent for every 10 percent of nurses who expressed dissatisfaction with their jobs.
The service-profit relationship has been recognized for decades in other industries. But as healthcare becomes more competitive, patient satisfaction becomes increasingly important to a hospital's bottom line.
Wi-Fi challenges put patients at risk and harm the way a hospital is perceived by patients and its staff. By automating Wi-Fi performance management, 7SIGNAL keeps hospital ecosystems connected to the quality of patient care is never affected. It reduces the time and money hospitals spend on wireless issues by troubleshooting and reporting problems that occur before helpdesk calls are ever made and the patient or caregiver gets frustrated.
Akron Children's Hospital is just one of many clients that reported remarkable improvements after partnering with 7SIGNAL, including throughput increased by up to 110 percent, packet losses reduced by 80 percent, and retransmission reduced by more than 50 percent.
Leading hospitals are realizing that the secret to improving profitability isn't cutting staff, but improving the satisfaction and experience of their patients. And increasingly, fast, reliable Wi-Fi access is a key piece of this puzzle.
7SIGNAL offers Wi-Fi performance management solutions that ensure connectivity issues don't prevent hospitals from delivering exceptional patient care. Contact us to learn about becoming a 7SIGNAL Connected Hospital.

yoga retreat abroad
Since 9 years RoxAnn and her husband Rolf organize yoga retreats also in Central America and Europe and lately in South Africa. These events offer the possibility to explore and enjoy the many facets of cultural specifics in the host country and appeal there for not only to 'yoga disciples', but also to guests, who join the group, without the intention to practice yoga. Staying at wonderful places, enjoying amazing food, nurturing the body, mind, and soul, while escaping the daily routine they like to create an atmosphere of kindness and tolerance between their group members as you might know it only from traveling together with friends. That's also one of the reasons why they keep the group relatively small, 8 -14 people including them are the maximum.
In 2019 a retreat/ culture trip in October to Uganda and Zanzibar is already sold out, that's why we added another journey: June 10 – 20 we offer to travel to the South-West of France and explore the region between Bordeaux and Cahors and the River Dordogne and the Lot. Find here the details.
