Amendments in tax legislation: August 2014
- Author: Dmitry Churin
- Date: 20.08.2014
In connection with the adoption of Federal Law No.238-FZ dated July 21, 2014 "On introduction of amendments to Part 2 Chapter 21 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation (the "Tax Code") and Article 12 of Federal Law 'On introduction of amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation pertaining to combatting illegal financial transactions'" (the "Law"), starting October 1, 2014, substantial changes to existing regulation in the field of taxation will come into effect.
1. The new wording of Subclause 1 Clause 3 Article 169 of the Tax Code includes the expansion of the list of transactions with respect to which parties, per their written consent, will be exempt from issuing commercial invoices ('schet-faktura'), keeping records of received and issued commercial invoices, and books of purchases and sales.
Previously, taxpayers were exempt from this obligation only with respect to transactions that are not subject to the Value Added Tax (VAT) in accordance with Article 149 of the Tax Code.
Starting on October 1, 2014, the sale of goods (works, services) or property rights to non-VAT taxpayers and to those exempt from taxpayer duties related to the calculation and payment of VAT also does not require commercial invoices, registers, books of purchases and sales (Subclause a Clause 3 Article 1 of the Law).
2. Rules were clarified for deducting the amount of VAT, calculated based on the sums of advance payments in the course of transfer of property rights.
In accordance with the changes introduced by Clause 6 Article 172 of the Tax Code, taxpayers are entitled to deduct the amount of VAT, which is calculated based on the sum of advance payments, starting on the date of transfer of property rights in the amount of the tax which is calculated based on the value of property rights, against which the amount of the previously received payments or partial payments will be offset in compliance with contractual terms (if applicable) (Clause 6 Article 1 of the Law).
3. The list of entities that are required to keep logs of received and issued commercial invoices was supplemented in accordance with Clause 3.1 Article 169 of the Tax Code.
In accordance with the introduced amendments, entities performing the functions of a developer, as well as entities acting on the basis of a freight forwarding contract, are required to keep a log of received and issued commercial invoices (Subclause b Clause 3 Article 1 of the Law).
It is important to note that this change is to take effect on January 1, 2015.

For many, Memorial Day is about barbecues, fireworks and beer.
And a three-day weekend.
But for those who served in the armed forces, the day represents far more. For them, it's a somber celebration marked by head stones, American flags and personal reflection.
Since 1896, the holiday — originally dubbed Decoration Day — has been marked by placing flowers on the graves of war dead. Today, that tradition continues with American flags.
The visual markers are powerful in their own right. But these active service members and veterans explain what the day really means to them.
Marjorie Hernandez
"Because I've been deployed, I know that someone is there," says Chief Warrant Officer 4 Marjorie Hernandez of Pompano. "It's easy to forget when we're here in the comfort of our homes."
For Hernandez, Memorial Day is a reminder of the men and women who are currently serving overseas. Originally from Ecuador, she came to the United States at age 14 and looked at Memorial Day as just another American holiday. Then she became a U.S. citizen and joined the military right after high school.
After 20 years of service, including tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, the U.S. Navy reservist developed a new understanding of the holiday.
"In our country where we have so many liberties and we take so much for granted," she says. "It's easy to forget those that are serving and to think about what they're doing and the sacrifice, not just them, but that their families are making while they are deployed."
Joe Rodriguez
Joe Rodriguez of Fort Lauderdale admits to enjoying a few hamburgers and hot dogs on Memorial Day.
But he also takes time to remember and honor his uncle, Medal of Honor recipient Army Private Miguel Armando Vera.
While serving In Korea in 1952, Vera was being treated for a battle wound while his comrades were attacking enemy positions.
According to his citation, Vera left the aid station where he was getting treatment to join the fight.
When a retreat was ordered, Vera stayed behind, manning a machine gun to cover his fellow soldiers. They returned the next day to find Vera dead at his post, his citation states.
"He never unmanned the machine gun. That's my hero," Rodriguez says.
Despite Vera's death in action, Rodriguez felt drawn to enlist and he joined the Marine Corps when he turned 17.
He always looked up to his uncle and admired his patriotism, but never fully understood it until he joined the Marines.
"One day he showed me a picture. He said 'come here, I want to show you my prized possession' and he brings out a picture of the American flag with the Puerto Rican flag flying behind it and it was beautiful," he says. "But it wasn't until after I graduated from the Marine Corps that I understood what he meant by the flag being beautiful."
Carl Arfa
Carl Arfa was behind a bazooka during World War II's Battle of the Bulge, where two of his comrades were killed.
So his respect for the American flag is unique.
Arfa always flies the Stars and Stripes on his mailbox in Boca Raton and wishes that more people would do the same, especially on such a somber holiday as Memorial Day.
"I think that people should honor this day by flying our flag because soldiers died under this flag, were buried under this flag and people should honor this flag," he says.
The 94-year-old remembers listening to the radio when Pearl Harbor was bombed on Dec. 7, 1941, and he wanted to do his part. He enlisted in the U.S. Army right after graduation from high school.
His accuracy behind the bazooka would serve him well during the Battle of the Bulge, where he destroyed a German machine gun nest and was later awarded the Bronze Star. He often thinks of the friends who didn't make it through the fight.
"I think of them every Veterans Day and every day of my life because I'm living a happy life because of their effort," he said. "You have no better friend than the guy that served next to you and dodged the bullets."
Briza Reyes
Briza Reyes got a taste of military service through the Junior ROTC program at Deerfield Beach High School, where she's graduating this year.
She says she has always admired the respect shown to veterans for their service.
"I admired that they were someone different and that's what I really liked about it because not everyone can be in the military, not everyone is made for it," she says. "Not everyone has the mindset and the stamina to handle that kind of stress and responsibility and I wanted that challenge."
Reyes has already enlisted in the U.S. Army and will be the first person in her family to earn a high school diploma as well as serve in the military.
Since enlisting, Reyes says she has become much more aware of the significance of Memorial Day.
"It's a lot to think about because so many lives have been lost to fight for our country, our freedom," she says. "This is a date to sit here and remember them. It makes you thankful for what you have."
Reyes will head to boot camp in July.
Kerby St. Preux
Kerby St. Preux will be sharing his thoughts on Memorial Day in front of an audience.
"It's a day of remembering those and hold dear those who put it all on the line. Who fought to protect and uphold our liberties, our rights, and our freedoms," St. Preux says.
The freshman cadet in the Junior ROTC program at Deerfield Beach High will participate in the a commemorative ceremony at the Butler House.
St. Preux hasn't decided whether he'll join the military, but is learning about service from more experienced cadets like Reyes.
Gwen Wright
Gwen Wright is an Air Force veteran.
But her reverence for Memorial Day goes beyond her experiences in the service.
Wright is also a representative at the South Florida National Cemetery in Lake Worth, final resting place for veterans and their family members.
Wright, who lives in Lake Worth, helps guide families through the process of honoring and burying their loved ones.
"I feel a connection to them on every single service," she says. "I want to let them know I understand what they're feeling. My parents are interred here so I feel even more of a connection having my parents here and just being a veteran myself."
Jonathan Follmar
Cemetery caretaker Jonathan Follmar describes an immense respect that he and his fellow staff members have for the cemetery and the people buried there. The Army veteran says that he is proud to be the final person to say goodbye to veterans before they are laid to rest.
"We know these individuals, we have a sense of what they've done and what they've gone through and that respect is there for what they've done. Whether it's a private with six months in or whether it's a two star [general], they all get treated the same," he says.
Abiud Montes
Master Gunnery Sergeant Abiud Montes of Plantation began his military career at age 19.
Breaking News Alerts
Now, 30 years later, he remains grateful to those who have served before him.
When he joined the Marine Corps reserve in 1989, Montes didn't expect to be deployed — or be part of a war. But less than a year after graduating from boot camp, he was activated and served as an anti-tank missileman during Operation Desert Storm.
While serving in the Middle East, Abiud recalls meeting a young boy whose words have stuck with him ever since. He often tells the story when giving talks as a motivational speaker.
"We came into Kuwait City and I remember a kid about 14-years-old; he held his hand up in the air and he looked at me and he said 'America is number one' and I'm thinking this young boy is telling me my country is number one," Montes says. "But what that young kid was talking to us about was a thing called freedom. Freedom isn't free. It was one young man or young woman that gave their life for this country (so) that we may have the freedom of today and that young boy taught me about freedom just by saying 'America's number one."
The encounter helped shape his appreciation of Memorial Day.
"It's not about barbeques, a day off from work, a day off from school, hot dogs, hamburgers" Montes says. "It's to reflect, to remember and to honor those men and women who served."

Spain bans gambling firms from sponsoring La Liga Clubs
The ruling underlines the essential need of a comprehensive digital sponsorship strategy
While more and more barriers restrain the evolution of the traditional sponsorships, digital solutions prove that they would be essential to connect with fans and activate them via different brand partnerships. Many industry experts agree in that the turning point is here, the regulation is the newest evidence that investing in digital fan entertaining elements is a must have road to take now. Seyu fits perfectly in this picture with our easy to implement, AI assisted solution could offer clubs a new, valuable and widely applicable digital marketing channel to their sponsors and partners, and helps to gain a fresh source of revenue in the long run or retain the existing deals with the gambling companies.
According to a report in El Pais, gambling companies will no longer be permitted to appear as front-of-shirt sponsors for La Liga clubs in the next season.
Spanish Minister of Consumer Affairs Alberto Garzón has proposed a series of measures which will toughen up regulations on betting companies, including restrictions to sponsorship agreements and advertising exposure.
In addition to the ban on shirt sponsorships, the new law will prevent gambling companies from being allowed to sponsor stadium names nor any other aspect associated with the teams.
Garzón had altered the wording of the ruling to state that "sponsorship in sports T-shirts or equipment will not be admissible", with gambling companies already banned from featuring on youth shirts.
Currently, eight clubs in La Liga feature a gambling company as a main shirt sponsor, but it is worth addressing the stakeholders of the case much more broadly. The decision of the Spanish authorities can also determine the future of English clubs in terms of sponsorship.
The stakes are huge: half of the Premier League's shirts were emblazoned with a gambling company's logo last year. The dominance is even more pronounced in the Championship, where 17 out of 24 club shirts will show a betting logo, meaning 27 of England's top 44 clubs have agreed to do so. Now all of them would have to reconsider the offered value proposition for their partners and prepare new strategies and concepts for sponsorship services.
If you are a club official and looking to mitigate the effects of the restrictions on betting agencies, get in touch with us at Seyu. We are always open for a discussion on how we can help retain your valuable betting agency partnership.

War in the South China Sea could trigger World War Three; can Australia be a peacemaker?
12 March 2021 | CCCA (Image: US Navy supplied)
Despite the blue sky, sunshine and cool breezes fanning island Australia in peace and tranquility, the South China Sea is not as fortunate with war drums beating more regularly and more intense each time.
Australian media has been very quiet about the South China Sea compared to the Asian media. The "talk up" of turning the SCS into the "watery" jungle for guerrilla warfare using naval vessels and personnel, seems too real for comfort.
The first two articles appeared in the South China Morning Post (SCMP), South China Sea: How the US Navy aims to better home in on targets by Kristin Huang, 27 February 2021.
"The US military aims to use troops on the ground to help multinational fleets more accurately guide missiles over longer ranges, an approach that analysts say could be used in the South China Sea. In a drill in early February, the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower aircraft carrier strike group sent US Navy Seal teams as well as a boat squad to establish forward bases to supplement intelligence from the strike group's radars. Virtual warfare missions were also part of the exercise."
South China Sea: why France is flexing its muscles in the contested waters by Rachel Zhang 28 February 2021.
"France sent warships to South China Sea ahead of joint exercises with US and Japan, after its nuclear submarine conducted patrols. Willingness to confront Beijing's claims in the disputed waters reflects French interests in the Indo-Pacific and plans to work with Quad nations."
CCCA Founding President, Anthony Pun's comments published in the above SCMP article on 7 March 2021. "France wants to relive the old colonial days as masters of Indochina. Should also invite the Spanish Armada to return to Philippines – so once more, the western ally ships will sail up the Yangtze River like the good old days of gunboat diplomacy.
"This time the SCS is so infested with sea mines (can't tell who owns what) and nuclear submarines and the chances of collision bw subs, destroyers, battleship, aircraft carriers and fishing sampans are good. No longer speaking English, there is a great chance of giving the wrong orders or misunderstanding an order! Or could all these be a Chinese plot so it can sink all the floating bathtubs in one go!
"The headlines 'NATO fleet sunk in SCS' will be as sensational as the sinking of Prince of Wales and Repulse as was in a naval engagement in World War II, as part of the war in the Pacific, that took place on 10 December 1941 in the South China Sea. This is a crazy world that one missile fired will cause MAD."
The third article was written by Admiral James Stavridis a former 16th Supreme Allied Commander of NATO and 12th Dean of the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University. He spent the bulk of his operational career in the Pacific and is author of "2034: A Novel of the Next World War."
Writing on 7 Marchs 2021, for NikkeiAsia "How the US military is preparing for war with China" he revealed a strategy in the South China Sea (SCS) and described the artificial islands as juicy targets.
Admiral Straridis's article mentioned the The Atlantic Council's publication of The Longer Telegram, which lays out a sweeping blueprint for a U.S. strategy to face China, provides significant clues about a new lay-down of American forces around east Asia.
The Longer Telegram has spurred an important debate—both regarding how to ensure that a China strategy, about which there is a growing American and allied consensus, can be sustained over the next several decades and, equally important, how it should be implemented.
Can China count on her friends to come and give her a helping hand especially Russia? It is not an easy bet; but a nuclear war cannot be excluded.
War always turns civilised humans into animals and back to jungle killing one another and for what? The end of human civilization will be in sight if nuclear button is triggered. When their political leaders turn into wild animals, innocent world citizens suffer. How to stop them from starting a third world war, is every world citizen's duty. Only peoples' power will stop it.
We, Chinese Australians are peace loving people. We prefer peace and prosperity over war in the Asia Pacific. Hence, we would urge Australians to play a mediation role in maintaining peace in the SCS and ask the two big elephants in the room to mutually work together for détente, win win peaceful coexistence and development.

To whom was Judge Allen, shown at right, referring--in open court, yet?
Your humble and obedient correspondent, no less.
Too bad I wasn't on LinkedIn at the time. LinkedIn, our motto is "Modesty Never Forbids".
The occasion? That morning, an article I had written called "Show Me a Sign", had just appeared in Detroit Legal News.
At motion call that Friday, I think I was looking for an opponent who I had been informed was in Judge Allen's courtroom. I opened the courtroom's door, and took a step in, searching for the lawyer. Judge Allen, who I know quite well, was already on the bench, hearing a motion. When the judge saw me, he stopped the hearing, pointed at me, and announced, well, the quote that is the title of this piece. He said some nice things about me, and then got back to business. I was busy signing autographs.
About the article:
I was still a plaintiff lawyer back then, and the article, which can be found here, dealt with Michigan's Open and Obvious Doctrine. Specifically, it dealt with judges who would walk up and down the parking ramps in the Ford Auditorium underground parking facility across the street from the City County Building, in defiance of the "Do Not Walk On Ramp" signs, one of which is shown below right.
Many of those judges would thereafter arrive at their courtrooms and then grant Summary Disposition motions on premises liability based on the Open and Obvious Doctrine.
The article set forth a colloquy from such a Motion's argument:
"Judge: Counsel, I am granting the Defendant's Motion for Summary Disposition. The black ice he fell on was Open and Obvious.
Attorney: But, your Honor, the ice was invisible.
Judge: Yes, but the Defendant has a witness who says there was a small patch of snow three blocks away from the accident scene. Your client should therefore have known that there was a possibility that there could be invisible black ice on that porch.
Attorney: But, Judge, my client is a policeman and that porch was at a house where he was responding to a domestic dispute call. The 911 caller said the home owner had pulled a gun.
Judge: So?
Attorney: So? He had to do his job. If he didn't go onto that porch he would have lost his job, at best, or there could have been lives lost at worst. Whatever the hazard was, it was unavoidable under the circumstances.
Judge: Not so. He could have used the back door.
Attorney: What back door?
Judge: All municipal fire codes require two entrances to a house. I am sure there was a back door. There had to be. And so your client had a choice. He didn't have to use that front door or go on that porch. Haven't you read the Hoffner case, counsel?
Attorney: I did, but I thought I was reading the latest issue of Mad Magazine. So, let's say there was a back door, what proof is there that the back porch had no ice on it?
Judge: What proof do you have that there was? Your client didn't bother to look back there, did he?
Attorney: Judge, when he went up the walk he looked through the front window and saw the owner with a gun in his hand.
Judge: Counsel, we do agree that your client fell, do we not?
Attorney: We do.
Judge: Then, obviously your client was not acting with reasonable care for his own safety at the time of his accident.
Attorney: Not to get personal, judge, but on the way in here this morning, I saw you walk up the Ford Auditorium parking ramp, though there is a "Danger, Don't Walk on Ramp" sign in plain view and it happened to be snowing at the time. How can you rule that my client wasn't acting reasonably?
Judge: Counsel, I did not fall.
Attorney: So?
Judge: So, obviously I was acting reasonably.
Attorney: So you habitually walking up that narrow ramp against traffic and in disregard of an explicit warning isn't negligent? As a matter of law?
Judge: You are correct.
Attorney: Judge, when do the rest of the Marx Brothers arrive?
Judge: Counsel, I believe you are in contempt.
Attorney: Well, that's Open and Obvious, at least.
One brave lawyer did point out this behavior to one of the offending (I'm sorry) reasonable judges-away from the bench. That judge did admit that he/she could probably not sue the structure if he/she fell."
David Allen is one of my favorite judges. I have asked him a couple of times to contribute to this blog. He says he will. But these continue to be strange times.
by the way, why is a defense lawyer blogging about an article he wrote back in his plaintiff days?

Good news for the fickle music fan: More marquee musicians are skipping out on the big Chicago festivals than in years past. Instead of dropping $130–$230 on a three-day energy drainer, pace yourself this summer with a similarly priced à la carte menu.

Russia: Iran's nuclear program peaceful
The spokesperson for Russia's Rosatom Nuclear Energy State Corporation, Sergey Novikov, has asserted the peaceful nature of Iran nuclear program.
Novikov told Russian TV on Sunday that Iran's Bushehr nuclear power plant– which will be launched on Aug. 21 — does not have any military purpose and it only aims to generate electricity.
"I think it is a very strong signal that international society supports such peaceful projects as Bushehr, because everybody understands that you cannot use a power plant in a hypothetical military program," he said, adding, "Bushehr power plant is a peaceful nuclear facility," he said.
The Russian nuclear agency Rosatom, which is building the facility in Bushehr, announced that the power plant in Bushehr will be launched next week when fuel is loaded into the reactor on August 21.
A Russian delegation, headed by Rosatom Director General Sergey Kiriyenko, will attend the launch ceremony.
The director of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran has said that the fuel needed to launch the Bushehr nuclear power plant will be transferred to the plant building next week.
Ali-Akbar Salehi said it will then take another seven to eight days to transfer the fuel to the reactor. He added "the plant would start operation in mid September."

Final Weekend for Knott's Boysenberry Festival 2017
It's not too late! If you haven't treated your tastebuds to the goodness that is Knott's Berry Farm's Boysenberry Festival 2017, there's still time to do so… but not much! This weekend marks the end of the wildly-popular "food and wine" event at Knott's, which has been going on since April 1st. The final day is April 23rd.
Now in its third year, the Boysenberry Festival has definitely become a well-oiled machine. We haven't once encountered issues we have in years past, such as food running out or associates not knowing much about the event they were working. Notable this year was the much easier process of paying (in most cases) at the point of food distribution for those who didn't want to buy tasting cards in advance; that was a huge snag in the past – waiting in a long food line only to be told you had to go pay somewhere else first. Now, in most cases, you can just walk up, pay, and get your treats; simple. The best method however, is to buy a tasting/sampling card at any of the multiple locations throughout Ghost Town; additionally, we recommend the alcohol tasting card as well, if you're going to indulge in adult beverages throughout your visit. In the long run, this method is cheaper and you'll be stuffed!

VR Showdown in Ghost Town Comes to Knott's Berry Farm April 1st
VR Showdown in Ghost Town has come to Knott's Berry Farm, making its debut April 1, during the kick-off of this year's Boysenberry Festival. Theme Park Adventure was fortunate enough to preview the brand-new family attraction at Knott's this week, and we came away with some really positive observations to share.
I've long said that virtual reality as we know it is best suited for home console gaming. It's taking off by leaps and bounds in the home market, resulting in some pretty amazing video game experiences. In theme parks, VR is a really hard sell for me, for several reasons. Typically, VR is an operational nightmare – the headsets are bulky and require constant cleaning and maintenance, guests need assistance putting the gear on properly and then removing it, and depending on your luck, it's very easy to get a piece of hardware that isn't calibrated properly or out of focus, which ruins the experience. To be completely transparent, the only VR-equipped attractions I have experienced are roller coasters, and I'm not a huge fan to be honest. When I ride a coaster, I want to experience the coaster – I want to see where I am, what the train is doing, and I want to have interaction with other riders, whether it be screaming and laughing, or putting our hands up as a group. When rumors started flying of virtual reality coming to Knott's, I was less than excited. I guessed that Montezooma's Revenge was going to get the VR treatment, as many other older coasters across the nation and around the world are getting these days. I've never been happier to be wrong!

Knott's for the Cure Begins 4th Year in Partnership with Susan G. Komen Orange County
It's that time of year again, and while some may think they're seeing pink at Knott's Berry Farm because of Valentine's Day, that's not the case. Beginning today, Knott's and Susan G. Komen Orange County enter into their 4th year together helping to raise awareness about breast cancer with Knott's for the Cure.
What does this mean for park-goers? For one thing, they'll be seeing a lot of pink. During the event, which lasts from January 9 through March 5, 2017, several of the theme park's most iconic attractions will be washed in pink lighting after dark, altering the Buena Park skyline dramatically; this includes Supreme Scream (beginning on Valentine's Day) and the Calico Mine Ride.
The symbolic pink color doesn't stop there. Guests may now purchase special Pink Tickets that will grant them admission to the park, as well as earmark a portion of each admission to be donated to Susan G. Komen Orange County. Those tickets may be purchased online at Knotts.com. In addition to the Pink Tickets, guests will find pink merchandise for sale throughout Knott's Berry Farm as well, including special t-shirts, which also provide a percentage of each sale to the foundation.

Knott's Merry Farm 2016 Brings Classy Christmas Festivities to Buena Park
Knott's Berry Farm certainly knows how to do holidays. Immediately following its world-famous Scary Farm event each year, the park transforms into a winter wonderland, becoming Knott's Merry Farm. While you'd think the team behind the scenes at Knott's would be exhausted this time of year (and you'd be right making that assumption), they go up and beyond to deliver an event that is nothing shy of world-class.
Merry Farm 2016 is the best we have ever seen the park look during the Christmas season, and we've grown up with Knott's. Each year, Cedar Fair management works with Knott's, raising the bar and really pushing everyone involved to dig deep and go big. The company doesn't throw millions at the Christmas season the way Disney or Universal do – but they go head-to-head with those very companies by way of live entertainment and quaint, classy decorations that truly resonate with guests and create a gorgeous setting to celebrate the holidays in with friends and loved ones of all ages.

Superheroes are so amazing because we love the various powers they possess. There are so many different superheroes in Marvel with many different superpowers, and they are capable of possessing those powers because of their distinguished and special body parts. These body parts can sometimes be fatal for the people who face them. Here is a list of the most lethal body parts that the superheroes possess:
The eyes of Scott Summers project high-powered energy beams that can kill anyone in a wink. To reflect those energy beams he has to wear red shades all the time. He controls them by using his visor. These energy beams are so deadly that they might be able to pierce almost anything that comes in its way.
Many superheroes have demolished buildings and even entire districts with their bare hands, but when Hulk lets fly those giant green ham hocks of his fly, entire planets can get broken in half. You don't need to look any further than the pages of "Planet Hulk" where the Green Rage Monster's gamma-powered tantrums shattered the planet's crust, which drowned his foes in lava. Hulk's hands are probably the most deadly weapons one could have.
The largest organ on the human body is the skin, and no one's skin is as impenetrable and unique as Colossus. Physically he may be the strongest mutant of the X-Men and he proved to be a favorite side character in Deadpool. He can really use this metal skin/body as a great defense as well as offense. Anyone coming in his way would just be bludgeoned.
Emma Frost is infamous for wearing the most impractically skimpy of outfits but she is not the one you should toy with. Her mutant skin is almost as dangerous as her psychic powers. Emma Frost's secondary mutation allows her skin to become really hard, taking on the appearance and strength of diamond, which is the hardest mineral on earth and she becomes almost impenetrable when she takes on her Diamond form which is bad news for her opponents.
Meet the man with the most almighty brain in existence: mutant telepath Professor Charles Xavier. His brain is so strong that it can locate and communicate with anyone no matter the distance and when out of control can cause disastrous and fatal seizures.
Well, we all saw this coming. A fascinating body part to have that anyone would want would be the Adamantium claws that our favorite mutant has. They look so cool and are totally badass and made up a metal that is indestructible, being able to cut through almost everything. This is something that everyone should be afraid of.
So which is the deadliest of them all? Our vote goes to Professor Charles Xavier's brain. No matter how powerful other things are, but when it comes to the most deadly of them all it's gonna be Professor X's brain as it can control and manipulate even the most powerful superheroes in the Marvel universe. Even Apocalypse wanted to get hold of his brain in the movie X-Men: Apocalypse due to this reason.
How do you feel about our verdict? Give your opinion in the comment section below.
Don't Miss: 10 Decisions Made By MCU That Are Shittier Than Iron Fist

Michael MacKay, Radio Lemberg, 28.11.2018
At the invitation of Ukraine, NATO should sail a naval vessel to a Ukrainian port on the Sea of Azov. Doing so would be peaceful, unprovocative, and effective way to support Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity. It would also achieve the goals of the Free World to liberate 23 Ukrainian Navy sailors who are Prisoners of War held by the Russian Federation since the Battle of the Kerch Strait on November 25.
NATO has been following Ukraine's lead – not very effectively – since Russia invaded Ukraine on 20 February 2014. The Russian invasion battlefront in Donbas is NATO's forward defence against Russian imperialist aggression. This is so even though NATO has recklessly failed to make Ukraine a member of the alliance. Putin has expanded his European war to the Black Sea basin because he desperately wants to stop Ukraine's effective forward defence of Europe on the Sea of Azov – which weakens his tenuous grasp of illegally Russian-occupied Ukrainian Crimea.
Ukraine leads the way in confronting Russian imperialist aggression against Europe. To assert its sovereignty over its own territory, Ukraine sailed small, practically unarmed naval vessels to a Ukrainian port of the Sea of Azov on September 23rd. This turned out to be a victory for the Ukrainian Navy, confirming that the Sea of Azov is not a "Russian lake."
On November 25, Ukraine attempted to do the same thing under the same circumstances: reposition Ukrainian naval vessels from the Ukrainian port of Odesa to a Ukrainian port on the Sea of Azov. But this time the Russian Federation launched a purposeful and unprovoked attack against the Ukrainian Navy. Russian boats rammed the Ukrainian Navy boats, shot at them (wounding six Ukrainian sailors), captured them, and took three vessels they had pirated to illegally Russian-occupied Kerch, Crimea, Ukraine.
The Kerch Strait lies between Krasnodar Krai in the Russian Federation and Crimea in Ukraine. The Russian Federation invaded Ukraine's territory of Crimea in February 2014 and now holds it under illegal occupation. Russia invaded Ukraine's territory of Donbas in April 2014 and has been waging trench warfare against Ukrainian defenders in Luhansk and Donetsk regions ever since. The Kerch Strait connects the Black Sea to the Sea of Azov. The coast of the Sea of Azov consists of Ukrainian territory, Ukrainian territory of Crimea illegally occupied by the Russian Federation, Russian Federation territory, and Ukrainian territory of Donbas illegally occupied by the Russian Federation.
Ukrainian ships sailing from Odesa to Mariupol are moving from one Ukrainian port to another Ukrainian port through the Kerch Strait. This is as normal and as unprovocative as a Spanish ship sailing from Bilbao to Valencia through the Strait of Gibraltar. The Russian Federation committed a blatant act of war on November 25 in the Kerch Strait.
A naval ship from a NATO member country should make a port visit to Mariupol or Berdyansk. Friends of Ukraine should make good on what Ukraine was properly doing on September 23rd and was unjustifiably and violently stopped from doing on November 25th.
Ukraine has the sovereign right to deploy naval forces to its ports. The Russian Federation has chosen to expand its war in Europe rather than allow Ukraine to exercise that right. If NATO does not counter Russian imperialist aggression in the Black Sea basin, then it will be abandoning peace and security in the wider North Atlantic region.
The Russian invaders of Europe in Ukraine are now committing war crimes against Ukrainian Navy sailors. The Western civilized world has called on Muscovy to stop what it is doing, release the sailors, release the three ships, and open the Kerch Strait for passage for vessels to and from Ukrainian ports. The West has an effective tool it can wield right now to make good on its demands to the Putin regime: sail a NATO ship to a Ukrainian port on the Sea of Azov.

The Accelerator Engineering Department manages the operation and maintenance of electrostatic accelerators in the MeV class, cyclotrons in the tens of MeV class.And heavy ion accelerators in the tens of thousands of MeV class, in terms of energy scale. It stably and reliably accelerates and supplies a wide range of beams, from protons to xenon, covering beam ranges from microns to tens of cm.These ion beams are used for research into biological radiation responses, with microbeams and neutrons, the production of radioisotopes that are familiar for their use in cancer diagnostics, cancer treatment with high-energy carbon beams, and other applications.Other than R&D into accelerators, beam controllers and other hardware suitable for these applications, the department works on software R&D for the generation and control, etc. of therapeutic beams that take into account biological effects on tumors and normal tissue.This research, and the technologies it develops, serves to raise the national standard of living in visible forms, such as real cancer diagnosis and particle beam cancer treatment.
Research Theme
The HIMAC heavy particle beam cancer treatment system
HIMAC is an abbreviation for heavy Ion Medical Accelerator in Chiba which is the world's first specialized heavy ion cancer treatment facility.HIMAC consists of a primary accelerator (synchrotron) to accelerate carbon beams and other heavy particle beams to 800MeV of energy per nucleus, an injector (linear accelerator), and a treatment room in which to irradiate the patient.
The advancement of scanning irradiation for on-demand therapy
We are working to develop a high-speed 3D beam scanning irradiation method to achieve more advanced irradiation than previous methods, and combine that with breath synchronized irradiation to achieve a world-leading torso scanning irradiation system.We are also advancing research and development to use superconductor magnets to reduce weight, so that heavy particle beams can be used even from a rotating gantry that would allow irradiation from any desired angle in a 360ー range.This advance can be expected to further reduce the physical burden on the patient, shorten the treatment time, and greatly enhance therapeutic effects.
Towards the realization of a heavy particle beam cancer treatment to move the world forward
We are working on various activities to promote the spread of heavy particle beam cancer treatments.These include human development of future medical personnel who will be involved in heavy particle beam cancer treatment, joint research using HIMAC, and collaboration and assistance for related agencies in Japan and overseas.
Support for the development and industrial application of irradiation and analysis technologies using electrostatic accelerators
The National Institute of Radiological Sciences has two tandem-type electrostatic accelerators.One is for element analysis and proton microbeam cell irradiation, and the other is for neutron beam generation.
We receive various requests from users, as research at these facilities progresses, and we are developing and realizing new technologies on that basis.The results of this effort include advancing PIXE technology to expand the range of elements that it can analyze, enhancing the speed of cell irradiation and the range that can be irradiated, and the development of neutron fields with narrow energy ranges.
The combination of these results and strong public relations activities is rapidly increasing the numbers of user requests from industry, as well as from universities and research agencies in Japan and overseas.
This facility will go on ambitiously tackling the development of new technologies that contribute to the advancement of science.
External view of SPICE (microbeam cell irradiation system).The picture above shows the irradiation room and the one below shows the beam line.With a 2µm beam size, this system can irradiate 10,000 cells per cell dish.
PIXE analysis result for a NIST SRM2783 standard sample.The red text indicates light elements that are newly analyzable. Other than these, it has also become possible to analyze elements such as F and U.
Research for the advancement of cyclotron accelerators
Cyclotrons are used in the production of radioisotopes (RI), and in fundamental research in the fields of physics and biology.RI production makes RI for molecular imaging, and also RI for targeted isotopes for drug research.The production of adequate quantities of RI requires the stable supply of high-quality, high-intensity beams.We are working on research towards more advanced cyclotrons, developing technologies for higher beam intensity and irradiation and diagnostic technologies to use with high-intensity beams.
We are also researching the use of RI produced with a cyclotron for heavy particle beam cancer treatment, to further enhance irradiation precision.We are advancing RI beam generation systems to that end.

Heroin death results in reckless homicide charges against West Allis man, New Berlin woman
A couple suspected of supplying heroin to a 20-year-old man who later died of heroin and ethanol intoxication face charges of first-degree reckless homicide as a party to a crime.
If convicted, Brian Vrana formerly of 1968 S. 92nd St., West Allis, and Andrea Paige, 13000 W. Cleveland Ave., New Berlin, could be sentenced to a maximum of 40 years in prison and a $100,000 fine.
They are accused of selling heroin to Benjamin Couillard in the parking lot of Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen restaurant, 4209 W. Greenfield Ave., West Milwaukee, the night of July 25. Couillard was with two friends who bought cocaine, according to the criminal complaint filed in Waukesha County Circuit Court.
The friends told police that Couillard had inhaled powdered heroin before they left the location of the drug buy, the complaint says. He then fell asleep and the friends heard him snoring, they told police, the complaint said.
Tried CPR
The three arrived at the town of Lisbon home of one of the men. They left Couillard in the truck while they went to a pole building to use the cocaine they bought. They told police they checked on Couillard between midnight and 2 a.m. at which time they realized he wasn't breathing, the complaint said.
One of the men tried to revive him through CPR for 15 minutes before they decided they needed to get him to a hospital, the complaint said.
When they arrived at the Aurora Medical Center in the village of Summit, the emergency room physician indicated that Couillard was cold to the touch and there were no signs of life, the complaint said. The medical examiners office concluded Couillard died of heroin and ethanol intoxication, the complaint said.
Police used a phone number in Couillard's cell phone, Facebook and descriptions from Couillard's friends to identify the two people who had sold the drugs.
Fake buy
In hopes of capturing them, the Waukesha County Sheriff's Department set up a fake drug buy, with the help of a confidential informant. The couple came to the same Popeyes where Couillard bought the heroin, but they were suspicious and the sale never came off, the complaint said.
However, the friends identified both suspects in a photo array as being involved in the sale to Couillard, the complaint says. Telephone records also show Paige's phone was near Popeyes at the time of the drug transaction with Couillard on July 25, the complaint says.
Vrana also was charged Nov. 1 with manufacture/delivery of cocaine.
Couillard's two friends have not been charged.

Innovative Hybrid App Development Trends in 2020
Companies offering hybrid application development services are blooming each day. Hybrid apps are so efficient and easy to build that they have attained enormous popularity within a short period.
Hybrid applications have become an excellent alternative to traditional applications and are famously utilized by developers all around the globe.
The advancement of hybrid applications is vital, and 2020 is expected to bring progressive and transformative possibilities to the hybrid app development industry.
In the beginning, developers were suspicious about going forth with developing a hybrid app since it was believed to be slower in performance, in comparison to Native applications.
However, Not one company that developed a hybrid application has ever faced difficulties with its performance and speed.
If we look at it, technically, as the innovation propels, there will be a significant speedup in hybrid applications. With this, differentiating between a native app and a hybrid application will be a tough task, keeping speed as a parameter.
So there is no need to be skeptical, so go straight to a hybrid mobile app development services company and start with the work.
The Hybrid app development industry is sure to see many trends by the end of 2020.
These may be:
Chat-bot Integrated Apps:
Chatbots are remarkable features of an application that provides continuous responses to user's queries. They offer a personalized touch to the user-computer conversation that takes place in an application.
In future chatbots will be the virtual assistant, your application will provide to its users.
You can apply to react-native services to integrate innovative chatbots into your hybrid application. Making sure your application remains up to date.
Block-chain based apps:
Blockchain has always been the most progressive technology since it was introduced. And there is no point in disregarding the integration and need of blockchains in the hybrid application of 2020.
Blockchains have proved to be a fantastic innovation to facilitate secure and well-preserved transactions online.
Hence, if you are planning to develop a hybrid application, take up hybrid app development services offered by any reputed company and start with the integration of blockchain into your e-commerce app.
Reports suggest that the blockchain technology will grow significantly in the future, attaining the market value of $20 billion by 2024.
AR-VR Healthcare applications:
The growth in the Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) applications have been massive. It came as a huge surprise when the world started using AR and VR applications and out of nowhere, they became super popular in such less time.
Hence, many healthcare applications started integrating the AR-VR feature into their hybrid applications. The apps helped medical practitioners to obtain a precise view of the human body and its structures without having to adopt intrusive methods, making diagnostics a convenient process for both the medical practitioner and the patient.
This has led to more arranged and secure personalized data for medical attendants.
The easiness would make this a huge trend in the coming future too. Iterating AR and VR technology into your medical hybrid application will surely bring transformative measures into the healthcare sector worldwide.
Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning-Based applications (AI/ML):
The world is fighting with the COVID pandemic in its own way. However, the most effective method known globally is to avoid all human contacts for as long as possible.
Hence, industries have adopted the work from home culture. Remote working has become a globally adopted culture in almost every company, especially IT.
The pandemic has brought revolutionary changes into the tech world, and the only lesson we obtain out of it is that the future of work is remote. If it is so, then companies would largely depend on AI/ML to execute tasks; otherwise, humans would've performed.
Hence, implementing AI/ML technologies into your hybrid application is the best idea. But remember to do it before everyone else has already done it. You need to be quick and smart if you need to sustain it in the app development industry.
Integrating all these fantastic trends into your hybrid application will not be a head-hurter if you obtain the services of a hybrid mobile app development company. They are experts in their field and hence would provide you with better inputs to generate higher outputs. Hire Developers for mobile app development.


text: News Kate McKinnon Set to Play Tiger King's Carole Baskin The Tiger King universe keeps on giving. By Christopher Luu Christopher Luu Instagram Twitter Christopher is a Southern California-based editor and has been with InStyle since 2018. He covers all things entertainment, celebrity, and culture. InStyle's editorial guidelines Updated on March 24, 2020 @ 07:00PM Pin Share Tweet Email If you spent the weekend binging Netflix's Tiger King, you're not alone. The documentary was on everyone's minds, Instagram feeds, and Twitter mentions after it was released — and it looks like fans hungry for more don't have to wait for the streaming giant to provide. TV Line reports that Kate McKinnon is starring in and executive producing a scripted show focusing on Carole Baskin. George Pimentel/Getty Images Kate McKinnon's Emotional Tribute to Ellen DeGeneres Had the Audience in Tears Viewers are probably familiar with Baskin, the CEO of Big Cat Rescue and rival to one Joe Exotic, the Tiger King himself. A foil to the over-the-top antics of Exotic (real name Joseph Schreibvogel) and weird cult-like zookeeper Bhagavan "Doc" Antle, Baskin was portrayed as a bohemian, leopard-print clad free spirit that ran a sanctuary, not a personal zoo. TV Line notes that McKinnon's project won't be based on the Netflix show and instead use the Joe Exotic podcast as source material. Presumably, certain salient plot points would overlap, but McKinnon's take on the facts could be very, very different from what viewers saw over the weekend on Netflix. TV Line also adds that Netflix isn't done with Tiger King, adding that the show "remains in active development." McKinnon's show isn't attached to any network (or streaming service) just yet. Knowing that Netflix's show became a viral sensation should change that pretty quickly.

Today I was at the local annual fair for arts and crafts (at least until it started raining) and someone told me my writings were "Bohemian".
I thanked them but I don't know why Queen's song Bohemian Rhapsody came to mind. Actually….I never thought of that.
My style of dressing is nothing like the young lady above. Although, I love her outfit. I will admit. I'm non-traditional. My husband used to say I wasn't good at conforming. I disagree. I always corrected him saying: "I'm not good at conforming to stupid things. If it makes sense–I will conform."

Staking Pancake Swap Token
Binance Smart Chain (BNB) has rapidly grown to a massive competitor to Ethereum. It boasts faster transactions that cost less to process, while operating on the same virtual machine as Ethereum. It is a layer two solution that is rapidly draining market cap away from ETH.
Pancake Swap is the leading decentralized exchange within the Binance Smart Chain ecosystem. One can "pool" their CAKE token to receive reward.
Step One: Acquire CAKE
Binance is my preferred method to acquire the Pancake Swap native token: CAKE. It is easy to obtain via the spot exchange on Binance with BUSD. It is also available via the Pancake Swap DEX and Kucoin.
Part of the reason why I am so bullish on CAKE is because it is a direct sympathy play from the Binance Smart Chain momentum. If you believe in BSC, then in theory, Pancake is a nobrainer.
I consider this play relatively equivalent to Ethereum and Uniswap. It is analogous because one is the platform, and the other is the DEX.
Here is a chart showing the correlation between BNB and CAKE. How interesting!
Step Two: Move CAKE to Trust
Trust is the Binance external mobile wallet. Very easy to use, and ensure that when you move your CAKE, that you export it from Binance as BEP20 (smart chain enabled) and to your BEP20 CAKE wallet:
BEP2 = standard BNB network
BEP20 = binance smart chain - AKA can interact with dAPPs
Always double check your addresses and network type!
Step Three: Setup Pancake Swap
- If you are an iOS user, you will need to enable your Trust Wallet Brower by typing trust://browser_enable ; then scroll down until you see the pancake swap exchange on your list of available applications.
- You'll need some residual binance smart chain to cover txn fees, so ensure you've got ~$3 to cover the various fees as follows:
- Need to connect wallet to Pancake Swap Dex (50 cents)
- Submitting of your funds to the Cake Pool (1 dollar)
- Lastly, you will need some to finalize and exit the positon
Step Four: Enter CAKE farm
Navigate over to Pools on the left hand side menu..
Esseentially, by pooling your funds you are allowing Pancake Swap to utilize your liquidty and facilitate transactions within the decentralized exchange.
One could think of it like loaning your money to the bank in order to facilitate operations.
Two kinds of Pools exist for CAKE stake:
First, is manual. You get paid in CAKE and need to manually cash out, or compound it to the pool.
Second, is automatic. The rewarded CAKE is automatically compounded into your existing balance. This is a newer feature, but what I am using at this moment.
.1% tax applies if you withdraw before 72H
2% commission fee to APY reward for txn fees.
Step Five: Profit!
- Crypto is the wild west, and just about anything can happen. Don't get sucked into aggressive APY returns on Pancake Swap. The majority of the features on this website are not beginner friendly.
- Keep it simple. Stick with what you understand.
- Greed is toxic. Act accordingly.

What Really Makes Car Accidents So Deadly
When German inventor Karl Benz patented his invention of the first ever automobile back in 1886, he most likely never even entertained the idea of car-to-car collisions. Now, over one-hundred years later, according to the CDC, car accidents are the leading cause of death for children and young people 5 to 29 years of age. This statistic is an eye-opener for most people, yet we will all continue to drive our cars because we have to, so it might do good to know why car accidents are so deadly. The main underlying cause is the disparity in the size of vehicles and this is something which can be addressed.
Anyone with the understanding of high school level physics would be able to make the connection between different sized vehicles and the fatality of car accidents. To put it in the simplest way possible, heavy objects moving at the same speed as lighter objects have more energy. In terms of vehicles, this means that a large vehicle that is heavy, moving at the same speed as a smaller vehicle that is lighter, will exert more crushing force on the smaller vehicle in the occurrence of a car-to-car collision. With more crushing force being exerted on the smaller vehicle, the driver will be significantly more likely to be fatally injured.
Going down the chain, we can look at what causes such a disparity in the sizes of vehicles on the roadways in the first place. This may seem like a pretty obvious one but it is mostly caused by an increase in the popularity of larger cars, specifically in the United States. According to Steven Overly at the Washington Post, in his article about the recent rise in popularity of SUVs in the US, titled "Americans have fallen in love with little big cars," "…sales of crossovers and SUVs took off at a quicker pace than for cars. Then in the last two years, Americans continued to buy more of every category of light trucks while car purchases declined." This unquestionable growth in the popularity of larger vehicles, in the case of the United States, is due to a multitude of reasons. One of the reasons can be traced all the way back to the fact that America is not as old as many other countries. In his article titled "Why Americans buy bigger cars than the rest of the world," author Sanjay Salomon cites a quote from car critic and managing editor for BoldRide, George Kennedy, which states, "In Europe and other areas there are very old infrastructure and small streets in five to seven-hundred-year-old cities… [making it] difficult for larger vehicles to get around." On the other hand, America was founded right around the time of the industrial revolution causing there to be need for larger and more extensive roadways. Because the roadways in America are much larger and expansive than other countries, they lend themselves to larger vehicles. The next reason for larger vehicles being popular has to do with the fact that gas prices are relatively cheap in the US compared to most other countries. This means Americans can afford to own gas guzzling SUVs and trucks without spending all of their money on gasoline. Another reason that large vehicles are popular is that they are safer, but as previously explained, they are only safer for the driver of the vehicle and more dangerous to the drivers of smaller vehicles.
So looking back at this causal chain again, growth in popularity of large vehicles caused a greater disparity in vehicle sizes on roadways which, in turn, caused greater fatality rates of car-to-car collisions. There is one very important link missing from this chain that is essentially the main supporting point for my thesis. The missing link lies between the disparity in vehicle sizes and the fatality rates of accidents, and it is the crash compatibility of vehicles on roadways. That means the complete version of this chain sounds something like: growth in popularity of large vehicles caused a greater disparity in vehicle sizes on roadways causing poor crash compatibility which, in turn, causes greater fatality rates of car-to-car collisions. Defined by the authors of the scientific paper titled, VEHICLE COMPATIBILITY IN CAR -TO-CAR FRONTAL OFFSET CRASH, "Vehicle [crash] compatibility is defined as the ability of a car to protect both its own occupants and partner car's occupants." Vehicle crash compatibility in itself has a couple factors that go into it but, as one can guess from the causal chain, the main factor, as defined by the NHTSA, is vehicle mass. In other words, vehicle size is the main cause of crash compatibility, meaning the closer a vehicle is in size to the other vehicle in an accident, the better compatibility they will have. This then implies pretty much my whole thesis, that different sized vehicles have poor crash compatibility which causes car-to-car collisions to be more fatal. This is not just some random claim with nothing to back it up either, there have been tests upon tests and studies upon studies that have proven this to be true. One example of a statistic that proves this point the best comes from a crash accident report from FARS, the Fatality Analysis Reporting System. According to their report, in the occurrence of a van to side car collision, the driver's death ratio is about 1 to 23. A reasonable reaction to this might be something along the lines of, "oh well that's to be expected of a frontal to side collision between vehicles and has nothing to do with the disparity in vehicle sizes." That thinking is completely wrong as the van to side car death ratio of 1 to 23 is nearly 4 times the car to side car death ratio of only 1 to 6. The statistic is alarming enough to make me even nervous now when seeing a large van or truck driving near me on the road. And to think, all of this unnecessary unease as well as unnecessary fatalities on the roadways can be traced back to something seeming as harmless as bigger vehicles gaining popularity. That is why something needs to be done in order to fix this problem, and my plan might sound a little crazy, but it is one backed by statistics and facts that prove it will work.

Whether amateur or professional, injured athletes all want to recover fatigued muscles faster and heal injuries sooner so they can get back to training. Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is an advanced, non-invasive treatment option that helps competitive athletes return to their full activity level sooner, with less risk of re-injury.
NexGen Hyperbaric applied best practices adapted from hospital treatment centers to building hyperbaric sports medicine programs, which are now treating thousands of athletes in top programs nationwide. We are becoming a leader in the community, and are proud to support elite athletes competing in world class events.
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy can be a primary or adjunct therapy to enhance recovery from a wide range of common sports injuries, including:
The key healing properties of hyperbaric oxygen therapy are decreased inflammation, increased oxygen saturation, increased blood vessel, and new tissue growth. This means treatment can reduce painful inflammation and enhance tissue regeneration in an acute sports injury. Healing can happen more quickly and more thoroughly, getting you back to training sooner. And because injuries heal more completely, there is less risk of returning to action too soon and re-injuring the area.
Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) is a challenge for every athlete when they're training hard. It is caused by microscopic tears in the muscle tissue that happen naturally with strenuous use, and the inflammation that follows.
Our muscles generate lactic acid during intense activity when we're asking our system to perform at such a high level there isn't enough oxygen to fully fuel the energy burn. The lactic acid can build up in your body faster than you can burn it off, leaving you with residual discomfort after the training session is done.
It is well established that hyperbaric oxygen therapy reduces inflammation. And studies now indicate that hyperbaric oxygen promotes the faster removal of lactic acid from muscle tissue. This means it can be an effective support for faster recovery from tough training sessions.
There has been a surge of research into the long-term effects of repetitive traumatic brain injury resulting from the constant impacts common in sports like football and hockey. High profile players like NFL legend Joe Namath and NHL star Daniel Carcillo are vocal advocates for the recognition, treatment, and prevention of the debilitating loss of function in retired professional athletes caused by Post Concussive Syndrome (PCS) and Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy (CTE).
Research into HBOT as a treatment for restoring function even years after traumatic brain injuries occurred is showing immense promise.
Contact us today to learn more about how NexGen Hyperbaric can help support your performance.

If you have problems with chronic pain, it is best to seek help from a qualified and experienced chiropractor. In the chiropractic field, the emphasis is placed on using the body to heal itself. For that reason, less emphasis is placed on surgery and prescribed drugs. Chiropractors receive a vast extent of training in managing musculoskeletal conditions. This training has provided chiropractors with the ability to offer safe and effective treatments. Chiropractic treatment, in particular focuses on the neck and back pains that individuals are experiencing. More importantly, adjustments during a chiropractor visit impacts the body at a deeper cellular level.
The Impact
This means chiropractic care may impact the fundamental physiological procedures that have an influence on DNA repair and oxidative stress. Therefore, it goes beyond the immediate alignment of the spine. It takes care of deeper issues in the body. The most important aspect of chiropractic care is to never forget that this is an available and viable option instead of choosing prescription drugs. An example is therapeutic massage that chiropractors offer. It has been discovered that this type of simple treatment is significant in improving the body functions and has proven to aid in eliminating neck and back pain.
The Alternatives Combined
Other complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in addition to chiropractic treatment that has helped patients includes:
- Spinal manipulation
- Acupuncture
- Mobilization
Together with chiropractic care, CAM is essential in providing short term and long term relief for lower back pain and neck pain. So, it is great news for back pain and neck pain sufferers that there are options. Some chiropractors offer all or some of these alternative treatments to patients. It is important to ask.
Pain Medications
There are so many Americans who rely on anti-inflammatory medication in an attempt to alleviate their pain. However, prescribed drugs are quite dangerous and patients can become so reliant on them, to the extent that they can be addictive. Prescribed drugs or over-the-counter drugs for chronic pain could severely increase the risks of stroke, cardio health, digestive issues, high blood pressure, kidney issues and heart attack. It is quite hard to find prescribed medication for pain that does not have a side effect. For that reason, you should rely on the expertise of a chiropractor in the event that you are feeling any kind of chronic pain.
The Natural Solution
Chiropractic care is the natural solution to chronic pain. It has no side effects and ongoing treatment could alleviate other issues that you did not even know you had. Therefore, if you are having pain in the neck, lower back or other areas of the body, make sure you schedule a chiropractic visit sooner rather than later.

Issues when using newer libraries
igrak last edited by
I have an application that print labels with data obtained from database. I now built my app with Qt 5.5. When using application I ran into issue with label printer. It keeps giving message that label format provided by application does not correspond to label that is actually in printer. In previous versions of Qt I didn't have this issue. Even more, if I take unmodified app binary (compiled for Qt 5.5) and use it with older Qt version libraries (5.2), app works like it should. Does somebody maybe know which change in newer libraries could cause this issue? Have a feeling it would be hard to find out but still asking :)

Hi and welcome to devnet,
Sounds like it could be a regression. You should check the bug report system to see if it's something known. If not please consider opening a new report providing a minimal compilable example.
