International Trade & Tax Planning
Of course, there are times when an offshore company can be used to close a one-off deal if both your trading partners and the relevant tax office feel happy about the arrangement, or they are not located, most usually, within Europe, North American and other sensitive countries.
The Offshore – The developed countries & Tax authorities
Should I avoid the offshore now?
Can I trade through an offshore company?
If I can use the offshore, which cautions should I take?
Which other or new offshore options do I have?
Trading through an offshore company can cut your tax bill but, will all your business partners trade with is?
Confidentiality is a primary concern of many offshore practices, particularly asset protection. When it comes to utilising an offshore company for trading however, a whole new category of priorities must be considered. These are the priorities of your trading partners and the attitude of onshore authorities.
Today legality and appearance are the essential requisites for the offshore entrepreneur. In many circumstances, it is not desirable to raise invoices in the name of an exotic offshore company, nor is it possible to ask your offshore company’s clients or trading partners to make payments to a bank in an obvious offshore tax haven.
Remember that the books of your customers or trading partners are open to scrutiny by their local tax authorities and dealings with offshore havens (even if legal) are viewed with skepticism, if not suspicion. Tax authorities of high-tax nations are aware that offshore companies can be used for illegal tax evasion by businesses that need to “reduce” their taxable profits before year-end.
After all, the ownership of an offshore company is difficult and often impossible to establish. This allows dishonest business owners to incorporate a company in an offshore haven and use it to siphon money offshore, usually by having the offshore company raise invoices payable by the onshore business.
In many developed countries, tax authorities do not even allow or recognise payments remitted to companies based in offshore tax havens. This reflects the opinion that anyone entering into a transaction with an offshore company is not doing so out of genuine commercial need, but solely for reasons of tax mitigation, if not tax evasion.
Of course, there are times when an offshore company can be used to close a one-off deal if both your trading partners and the relevant tax office feel happy about the arrangement, or they are not located, most usually, within Europe, North American and other sensitive countries. But entering new markets or marketing products or services to unknown customers under the name of Tropical Island Trading Corp., incorporated in the Seychelles or Belize, which is perfectly workable, unless, of course, you really are exporting current consumer goods.
Staying within the law! Any tax mitigation structure must ensure compliance with the law. If mistakes are made, not only can any tax-saving benefits be lost, but heavy penalties can be incurred.
And that’s all we shall discuss on this e-Report to keep you full informed about the New Offshore Options.

What to expect: Not much, as this doesn’t seem to be a thrilling series on paper.
The Hawks are a solid offensive team, but you win in the playoffs with defense and few teams in the NBA defend and crash the glass as efficiently as Indiana.
There shouldn’t be too much excitement in this series as I look for the Pacers to be very physical with Atlanta and ultimately wear them down quickly in what should be a short series.
Prediction: Indiana in five

And John Howard would have given us a refugee buy back plan.
It’s downright unAustralian to just single out Morrison.
When you start to include Ruddock, Howard, Reith, Abbott and Andrews as complete and utter aholes, then you will have hit the jackpot or is that jackboots.
This post would make a great billboard advertisement.
More stifling of independent scrutiny. If it costs journo’s $8.000 per visa – non refundable if refused, then in tandem with Morrison’s silence (for operational reasons of course) then there is no scrutiny or accountability. This is fascism pure and simple!
.. and don’t forget Bronny “Pompador Bishop, Cory “Bestiality” Bernardi and Brough and Abetz and …good grief what a crew!
Never before has such little talent made so much noise in so many places.
@ bobrafto
And don’t forget that Labor reintroduced offshore processing and that Rudd was such an evil a lowlife, desperate to win the last election by any means, did a deal with PNG that denied asylum seekers the opportunity of resettlement in Australia forever.
Boatie numbers have declined, seems even the Indonesian Generals
support present programme.
Simply an Election promise being fulfilled. CW’s voted for the other mob and
they got voted out. Majority of Australians want the Boat People Rort to stop.
Well I’m sorry, Voyager. Despite what the majority of Australians want done to the boat people it doesn’t change what the people at CW want for them. We want them given a fair chance in life. Obviously you and the majority of Australians don’t. Are you pleased with yourself?
Ahahahaha, although it’s not a laughing matter, it is so true and so ironic.
Abbott does nothing,
Abbott does himself?
Hilarious, Voyager. The asylum seeker arrivals started to fall *before* Abbott got in, & aside from hiding from scrutiny, Abbott hasn’t brought in a single policy that could impact on numbers….oh, but he has managed to piss off the Indonesian government, military & people in record time. Oh, but don’t let the facts get in the way of your idiotic little pro-Abbort rants.
“Rort”, Voyager? More than 90% of boat arrivals are genuine refugees, unlike the plane arrivals who clog up the assessment process with their mostly *false* claims…not having to reside in detention I might add. Or how about the 60,000+ visa overstayers (mostly white) who are rorting our labor & welfare systems. Maybe if we stopped wasting money & time persecuting asylum seekers, we would have sufficient resources to deal with the real scammers living in Australia already (not just overstayers, but LIEberal Party MP’s).
Anyone rotting system must be stopped.
Still don’t get it – why do all the boats bypass so many countries and travel all
that extra distance to get to Australia.
I state that these arrivals must be stopped . The cost is crippling .
The biggest con of the decade. There is absolutely no reason to have personal
guilt on stamping this out.
If the LNP supporters that ..umm… frequent here at CW, …umm…, were a tad supportive of their own ‘brand’, as it were, :) … you’d reckon that they would support ON SHORE processing….. if only for the cost benefit analyses ($$$$$$$)…. “little lone” the general ‘sanity’ of the “idea” .. :roll: … as in .. if’n most are found to be “real people” in need, wouldn’t it be cheaper to (ugg) ‘process’ (ugg) thems here….. just sayin ….. ugg
…how sad my country :( …and look over there….. “boat People” …… or … how ’bouts ‘look over there.. Holden don’t fit into the TPP’ …. just sayin… agin’ :(
Yes, LOVO, it’s that simple: onshore processing! It’s far, far cheaper. Voyager would thus be pleased.
Sorry.. didn’t add a link :eek: …. try this’n :D
:( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( :( oi, oi …ahhhh
( …could someone please explain to me what ‘free’ mean agin’ )

We had a wonderful time and the group really enjoyed the hotel, the distilleries, the restaurants, and the ease with which we were transported aroundyour recommendations were first class all the way.
I can’t thank Destination Management Scotlandeffort put into making our trip first class. Everything from their knowledge of the best places to eat, as well as suggestions for activities around our main ones, was fantastic. I definitely will be using them for my next trip to Scotland.
I have used Terri Bryce on several occasions for large trips where we have taken VIP’s from the USA to Scotland. Terri provides a very professional service that is invaluable to us as she arranged every aspect of the trip down to the smallest detail. Terri has always been present on our trips and makes sure everyone has a great time as she is very accommodating, amicable and a lot of fun to have around. I would highly recommend Terri to anyone who needs a fantastic organiser and great host for any trip around Scotland and Ireland

en | N/A | N/A | This paper discusses the problem of specifying probabilistic models for choices (strategies) with uncertain outcomes. The most general case we consider is choice settings where the uncertain outcomes are sets which may contain more than one alternative. This is of interest for the following type of choice processes that take place in two stages: In stage one the agent has the choice between uncertain sets of alternatives and only knows the probabilities of which alternative that belongs to each set. Conditional on the choice in the first stage the content of the chosen set is revealed and the agent chooses (under perfect certainty) the most preferred one from this set. The standard setting in which the outcomes are single alternatives, follows as a special case of the model. The point of departure is a generalization of Luce IIA assumption to choice experiments with uncertain outcomes and we analyze the implications when IIA is combined with particular assumptions about invariance with respect to aggregations of strategies. |

Watch Spanish-language video with English subtitles.
Try to listen primarily to the Spanish version, but when you don’t understand something, rewind and refer to the English text. This is a great way to transition into watching material in Spanish without the intimidation factor of having to understand 100% of the Spanish. Just keep in mind these subtitles aren’t always perfectly accurate translations.
In all of the above cases, you can expand your search for Spanish videos to watch online with the help of a VPN (Virtual Private Network) service like HideMyAss! VPN. Using a VPN, you can hide your IP address—guaranteeing privacy and security while surfing and streaming—and make the internet believe that you’re in a Spanish-speaking country, meaning that you’ll gain access to websites and video hosts that are blocked in your home country. It also greatly expands your Spanish-language movie options on a variety of video streaming sites. More videos, more subtitles!
Spanish-language movies are a great way to learn real Spanish.
DVDs are another great option. Many DVDs offer dubbing and/or closed captioning. This means that you can choose which language you hear and which language you read. If you’re considering purchasing a DVD to learn Spanish with subtitles, just check the product details. It will usually list the language it’s in, any lEven your favorite childhood cartoons can be of service when learning Spanish. Disney films often offer multiple language options. For instance, “The Little Mermaid” is available with English or Spanish audio and with English or Spanish subtitles.
Just check with your cable provider for instructions on how to add subtitles.
Amazon Prime is another good option for subtitled programming. While many videos only offer English-language subtitling, you can check each video by following Amazon’s directions.
There are also some great options when it comes to DVDs. For instance, the popular comedy “La Fea Mas Bella” (“The Most Beautiful Ugly”) is available in the original Spanish with English subtitles.
If you’re interested in watching American TV shows, you’ll have some options. “American Horror Story Hotel” and “Modern Family” are available with Spanish subtitles, English subtitles and Spanish dubbing, so you can configure your subtitle/language combination any way you like.
Plus, regardless of your skill level, FluentU is a great choice. You choose what you watch and what you learn, so it’s perfect for learners at any proficiency level.
You can use FluentU from the comfort ofu wherever you go!
There are some awesome YouTube channels designed to help you learn Spanish. YouTube videos are great because you can find something that suits your interest and watch it anywhere—all without spending a dime.
Finding subtitled YouTube videos to help you learn Spanish is also quite easy—just search “Spanish subtitles,” and you’ll find a lot of options of videos in Spanish with English subtitles. “Español subtitulos ingles” (“Spanish subtitles English”) yields some videos that are in Spanish with English subtitles and some videos that are in English with Spanish subtitles.

Letting out a soft breath, she covered her mouth with her hand. The rage and fury seething within her fled like air from a popped balloon. Then, to her horror, tears pricked her eyes. Before she could stop it, she was gulping down air, but it didn't help.
"Are you—" Matt halted in mid-sentence. "Oh, no." He began shaking his head. "Hell, no. Don't you dare cry on me."
She couldn't help it. The tears began to fall and she couldn't stop them. The next thing she knew, Matt uttered a groan and his arms were around her, pulling her against his chest.
"Shh," he whispered, his lips grazing the top of her head, then her temples. "Everything will work out okay. I'm sure of it."
"I'm sorry, Tris. I didn't mean for this to happen."
Biting back a soft cry, she opened her mouth. The instant his tongue tangled with hers, her body trembled with need and she clutched at him tighter. Cupping her nape, he deepened the kiss, angling her head, massaging her neck with long, strong fingers. His taste on her tongue was so new, she couldn't find the words to describe it. It was hot and wonderful, stirring up a fiery, passion-fueled craving she'd never experienced before.
His hand skated across her back, leaving a trail of delicious tingles on her skin, and still, his tongue sought hers again and again. An unfamiliar ache started low in her belly, uncurling, blooming into something she did understand. Desire. |

He told us to analyze that moment of silence before we sprint, before we jump, before we throw and look around the lower and upper levels of the track and realize that everyone has each other’s back, that your teammates are essentially your wings and can push you to succeed in your event.”
Andover Girls Track & Field impressed in the short distance events. Co-Captain Camille Little ’16 won the 50-Yard Dash, clocking a time of 6.44 seconds. Little continued to dominate in the 300-Yard Dash, placing first in her heat with a time of 40.54 seconds.
Little won the Long Jump with an impressive distance of 15 feet 7 inches, while Sidney Holder ’17 came in a strong second place finish with a distance of 15 feet 6 inches. Alexis Lefft ’16 came in first place in the Shot-Put with a throw of 27 feet 8.5 inches.

en | N/A | N/A | Expert insights Finance Aussie borrowers paying more than needed: Loans.com.au
| Sep 12,2016
Research from online lender loans.com.au has found many borrowers are paying vastly more than they need to.
Loans.com.au founder Kim Cannon said data from comparison site Canstar showed that a homebuyer who borrowed $450,000 could pay more than $114,000 in extra interest over the life of the loan if they made the wrong choice.
He said homebuyers who assumed that all lenders offered broadly similar value were making a big mistake.
"Ifchoosing a home loan is the second biggest," he said
"The wrong decision on an average-sized loan can cost more than $100,000 dollars over the term of the home loan. These are life-changing sums.
"When shopping for a home loan, buyers should avoid distractions and keep their eye firmly on the comparison rate, which combines all costs into a single percentage rate.
"Just as buyingwhen you take out a loan it is all about comparison rate, comparison rate, comparison rate."

en | N/A | N/A | Hydrogen fuel cells are set to play a key role in the transition to a clean, low-carbon energy future. Fuel cell technology promises an emission-free –– the combustion of hydrogen results only in the creation of water –– and efficient power source for electric vehicles, heat and power for buildings and a host of other applications. And while hydrogen is abundant and can be an effective carbon-free energy carrier, a number of challenges must be overcome for hydrogen fuel cells to achieve their clean energy potential.
Three Hydrogen Challenges
Source: Global hydrogen demand stands at around 8 to 10 exajoules (EJ) annually but according to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA), roughly 95% of all hydrogen produced worldwide is so-called “gray” or “blue” hydrogen – produced through the steam reformation of natural gas. Hydrogen produced from renewably-sourced electricity for the electrolysis of water is carbon free but the available volume is woefully short of the global need.
Fueling Infrastructure: According to recent figures from the U.S. Department of Energy, just 49 public hydrogen fuelling stations exist in the U.S. and Canada, the vast majority of which are located in Los Angeles and San Francisco. In 2020, the California Energy Commission approved a program to expand distribution infrastructure with up to $115 million in grant funding to boost fuel cell electric vehicle use but this will add just over 100 new stations in that state by 2027. By way of comparison, thousands of fleet and public fuelling stations, including virtually every U-Haul-like business in the U.S. and Canada, are already supporting the transportation sector.
Fuel Cost: California Fuel Cell Partnership figures from 2019 show the average price of hydrogen for a light-duty fuel cell electric vehicle in California is $16.51/kg, or roughly $57 a gallon. With scale, the price of hydrogen will come down, but for now the National Average Retail Fuel Prices Conventional and Alternative Fuels report from October 2020 shows propane at well-below $2.99 a gallon.
Propane’s Fuel Cell Alternative
Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFC) produce considerable temperatures as part of the electrochemical process. That fact makes it possible to integrate a reformer with a fuel cell to produce hydrogen at the source. This means fuel cells using already low-carbon propane can chemically produce hydrogen. Traditionally, a solution like this would add significant costs and additional complexity but a commercially attractive approach has now emerged with a novel fuel cell architecture that makes it possible to use gaseous fuels like propane without the need for a reformer.
Developed some 30 years ago by U.K. fuel cell pioneers and the country’s oldest fuel cell company, Adelan Ltd., the microtubular SOFC (mSOFC) uses an ingenious internal structure to produce hydrogen from propane. mSOFCs offer a dependable and reliable source of electricity in even the most remote locations so long as an appropriate fuel can be sourced. Furthermore, the ability of this technology to use almost any clean fuel offers considerable opportunity for immediate and widespread fuel cell uptake.
Adelan’s chief executive officer, Dr. Michaela Kendall reinforced the point. She said, “Fuel cells that use widely available conventional fuels like propane or LPG represent a major gateway for the uptake of clean energy technologies, while the availability and price point of green hydrogen produced from renewable energy catches up to become an economically viable carbon-free alternative. Future-proofing by using bio feedstocks to generate bioLPG — another viable fuel for our fuel cells — can further reduce carbon for customers and transition us closer to net zero. This is a growing market.”
Using clean, low carbon affordable and abundant fuels in fuel cells means they can effectively bypass many of the key obstacles facing hydrogen and instead serve as the key technological stepping stone to the clean hydrogen economy of the future.

en | N/A | N/A | why does a solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse cannot then take place on one day. The one during the day and the other during the night?
Because the earth turns around itself in one day, but not the moon around he earth.
The moon does not turn around the earth once a day.
Also the earth has, as a result that it turns around itself once in a day, nothing to do with it.
Also the moon, as a result that it always turns the same side towards the earth, therefore not like the earth, turns around itself once a day, has nothing to do with it.
The moon takes one month to turn once around the earth. And for half a rotation it takes half a month. It therefore takes about 14 days until the moon comes to the other side.
That the moon apparently turns once a day around the earth does not happens for that reason, because the moon really revolves round the earth once a day, but because the earth turns around itself once a day.
Also the sun does not revolve once a day around the earth. We only have the impression that it does so. The whole starry sky rotates only seemingly once a day around the earth; what really rotates are we, the observers, on the surface of this planet.
A solar eclipse can only happen at new moon. A lunar eclipse only at full moon. And between such a new moon and such a full moon is at least half a month.
A solar eclipse can only take place during the day. A lunar eclipse only at night. |

The title takes its cue from online vernacular saying and forum tag "captionthis" where weird and funny images are deemed untaggable or "beyond words". Classic tropes and clichés of photography (the car, the cat, the dog, women, sunsets, celebrities and clickbaits) become unresolved rebus: memes missing their textual part or illustrations of unspeakable ideas.
There are no hierarchies in terms of image quality or resolution (all images are printed the same size 100x80cm), between the fascination of stock photography and the common use of images, and in the contexts where the images are repurposed (online and in classic white frames or lightboxes).

The rising queen, born Caroline Cecil, has recently been “Most Exciting New Names in Bass Music.” Already stamping her place in the dance and bass music spaces, WHIPPED CREAM is no stranger to excelling at her art. She was once a competitive figure skater en route to the Olympics, but veered off that course following a debilitating accident on the ice. In need of a new channel for her creativity, she turned to the art of music after experiencing her first festival, (and of course, we can’t blame her!) Enraptured in the magic of it all, she began chipping away at her newfound career.

en | N/A | N/A | Life on Pennsylvania Avenue gets a bit rocky for President Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey) and first lady Claire (Robin Wright) in Season 3 of the Netflix drama "House of Cards." David Giesbrecht for Netflix
'House of Cards' star is ditching Brooklyn for the 'burbs
Season 3 available Friday on Netflix
Frank Underwood's ascent to the presidency on "House of Cards" always seemed a little too easy, a little too pat.
After all, it only took two seasons for him to sweep everyone out of his way to get to the top. And, as the first several episodes of Season 3 reveal, there are enough White House insiders who agree he doesn't really belong there.
In fact, Frank's cabinet members don't want him to run for re-election in 2016. They want a new, younger face.
That's the kind of rejection that really brings out the underdog in Underwood. Even when he's on top, Frank's always a more entertaining character when he feels he's been denied something that rightfully belongs to him.
The guy lives to exact revenge.
As POTUS and FLOTUS, Frank and Claire (Robin Wright) are in a matter-of-fact place. They don't even make the pretense of being truly married anymore — sleeping in separate bedrooms — and Claire, after years of sitting in "the passenger seat," is more than ready to get behind the wheel.
Dressed in sublimely cool metallic colors throughout, Wright takes the gloves off as Claire pushes a reluctant Frank to set the stage for her to one day have a political career of her own.
And with Frank's presidency already looking shaky, she's watching him like a hawk — while trying to turn ) into some kind of middle-aged mentor/sorority sister.
Spacey plays Underwood with his usual unctuous aplomb, and Claire's crazy controlled persona is on full display, but with private moments of longing and neediness that are wonderful to behold.
But one always gets the feeling, with Frank and Claire, that they are a little out of their depth. Seen through the eyes of Washington insiders like Jackie Sharp (Molly Parker, a glossy snake), you can see they lack a certain finesse.
Spacey, Mahershala Ali (playing Remy Danton) and Molly Parker (returning as Jackie Sharp) in a scene from "House of Cards."David Giesbrecht for Netflix
Foreign dignitaries perceive the artifice as well.
When Russian President Victor Petrov (a marvelously uncouth Lars Mikkelsen) visits the White House, Frank sits his slinky wife next to him at a state dinner. After Claire tries in vain to flirt with the man, Petrov tells her the president is pimping her out. Claire is so riled, she has to reset her soul's thermostat to 30 below.
Many cast members have come and gone on the show as characters' political fortunes went south, so now it's actually comforting to see familiar faces such as Atkinson, Larry Pine (Bob Birch) and Reed Birney, whose Donald Blythe manages to make it all the way to vice president.
Among the new faces, Benito Martinez, as Republican Sen. Hector Mendoza, proves a strong adversary to Frank, Claire and anyone else he meets from the Democratic Party.

The third season bears some significant parallels to Season 1, with a strong echo of the Peter Russo storyline.
Addiction rears an even uglier and more dangerous head this season on "House of Cards." And that seems appropriate because this is the one Netflix show that is best watched compulsively, since these nasty DC power brokers are half as frightening as the ones who are actually running our country.
Or so you imagine.

e—that’s why our cochlear implants are built to provide long-term safety and outstanding reliability. To ensure our candidates can make informed decisions, we provide honest, transparent, up-to-date reliability information on all of our current implants and audio processors.
We’re proud of the accomplishments of all our recipients, and we take responsibility for every single implant. Other manufacturers may disguise the replacement of a partial failure as an “upgrade”. We don’t believe that’s fair or honest to you. If an implant has to be removed or replaced for any reason, we count that against our reliability; you’ll find it reported below under “Extended CSR data”.
Comprehensive reporting is the fair and honest information that every cochlear implant candidate deserves. With MED-EL, you can trust you’ll have reliability you can always count on.
Compare reliability standards
Rest assured. Built from durable titanium, our cochlear implants have a proven record of outstanding long-term reliability. SYNCHRONY, our latest cochlear implant, is based on the CONCERTO PIN—a robust design with an exceptional 99.94% reliability rating after 6 years.

en | N/A | N/A | Wow. What a great site that brings back so many memories. I lived in Koppel, Pa until I was nearly 12 years old. I recognize so many of these shots. Ann’s Consignments is in the old Pavalovic’s Grocery store. I was friends with her son and we went to Koppel School Elementary together. Do you have any shots of the old school? I very vividly remember the police station with its 6pm whistle every day. I lived on 3rd Ave right near it. The old steel mill…wow…what memories. My father worked in the steel mills for 20 years before they shut down. I believe he worked at Wallace Run in Beaver Falls. I can’t wait to see more.

My sister who still lives in Koppel told me about this site. I moved away in March 1986 when I joined the military. I go back and visit a few times a year. Koppel hasn’t changed much over the years. One of the pictures that I saw on here was of the building that I grew up in. My father had a grocery store on fourth avenue before he closed it.

Just a few random memories: Long before it was Ann’s Consignment or even the grocery store, it was a roller rink called, “the Flying Saucer.” Remember Betty Baney’s dance studio? Well somewhere in my family is an 8mm film of her dancing…. when she was about 9 years old! Anybody remember the one room schoolhouse? I was too young to go there but my two oldest sisters did. Anybody remember the train wreck at about Richard Street in the 1970s?

I remember the skating rink, and going there with my Dad , who was a fantastic skater! As for the 1 room schoolhouse, if there was one, it was before my school days. I remember the old Koppel elementary school where I attended part of 1st grade in 1961, then we were moved to the brand new school at the other end of 2nd Ave. It was a big old brick building, with white buildings behind, that were also classrooms. Len, your sister Ruth was in my class. Our 1st grade teacher was Mrs Mansfield.

Len the train wreck was almost in front of my house one 4th ave, it ended right in front of Zurinski’s house, we had so many cases of cereal that was taken from the wreck, i still cannot eat sugar pops.

en | N/A | N/A | ThAs a side note, some 101 mid-mounted PTO’s had the ability to drive a separate output shaft at the rear of the vehicle, which then drove a trailer that had its own driveshaft and differential. This provided an articulated 6WD vehicle, but unfortunately didn’t make it into full production. Alan’s 101 has the ability to do this with a few extra parts simply bolted on.
At the rear, twin wheel carriers have been grafted under the body utilising LandCruiser wind-up mechanisms. That allows for easy access to the heavy rim and tyre combination. Above the spare wheels sits an aluminium storage box, work light, reversing camera and 9kg LPG bottle.
Three batteries power the 101; a 135AMP unit with a 100AMP alternator to start the engine and run general lighting, plus two separate deep cycle units via a separate 80AMP alternator for the on-board 110 litre Waco fridge / freezer and extra power needs. Two 50 watt solar panels mounted on the roof also help to keep the batteries topped up – especially useful when camped in the one spot for extended periods.
Inside is neat, tidy and 100 precent practical. Once the roof is popped up via the gas struts and scissor action mechanism, there is plenty of head room to stand. The L-shaped lounge converts to a double bed and there are drawers and under-bed storage compartments to house all your gear. A conventional oven with gas cook top, plus a microwave oven ensures the couple won’t go without a good feed while on the road and a digital TV keeps them
Setting up camp is ridiculously quick and easy: unclipping a few over-centre latches on the outside, walk inside for a gently push upwards to allow the gas struts to effortlessly raise the whole roof. Meshed windows are accessed by unzipping the soft PVC side walls allowing a bit of flow through ventilation.
All up, Alan and Soraya have had many extended and far-reaching travels around Australia in their 101. They love the setup and wouldn't trade it for anything. Perhaps, after all, some vehicles are made just right… after many hundreds of hours modifying and tinkering!
Ugly maybe, but perfect for this couple – definitely. </s>

In December, the Prince George’s County under way in Paris on June 1, Tiafoe (pronounced Tee-AH-foe) will be the top-seeded boy.
In a country yearning for a home grown men’s tennis star, this puts Tiafoe under immense pressure to deliver on his promise, to justify the countless hours he has devoted to mastering the game and the hundreds of thousands of dollars that tennis center, 6-foot-1-inch phenom with eight-pack abs is still a boy. Tiafoe doesn’t yet drive, has a 9 p.m. bedtime and shaved for the first time in January. But he possesses a missile of a forehand, a full complement of shots and tactical savvy beyond his years. And he brings all of that to bear in his opening match in Vero Beach, where he schools 30-year-old Oleg Dmitriev, a Russian who has competed on the pro circuit since Tiafoe was 3..

en | N/A | N/A | Implementing information technology (IT) programs for the wrong reasons, while forgetting the business rationale and who will be affected, is a prescription for failure and frustration, said the first presenter in the APEGGA Edmonton District 1999-2000 luncheon speaker series.
IT implementation must follow a business or project model.
Business processes wgy but the change should support and complement business drivers - be they profitability, cost control, better margins, increased quality or elimination of bottlenecks.
Rules learned by "process people", project managers and business managers are set aside.
And, Mr. Zanoni observed: "If people were to build bridges like they write software or if people were to build bridges like they implement network systems, I would never get across the river. You would never have any trust in them."
Quoting The Wall Street Journal, Mr. Zanoni noted, that a lack of sound business or project planning contribute to a situation where 73 per cent of IT projects either are not finished, or are completed but with cost overruns exceeding 200 per cent.
"There are companies that only now are beginning to realize that when they compare the costs associated with the new systems, that the benefits that are directly attributable to that expenditure is zero." |

Supply Chain HQ: Is category management a new concept?
Sawchuk: Companies benefit from broader value, hopefully from both the procurement organization and from the supply base itself. One of the challenges that buyers have is continuing on the annual path of increased savings for the organization—because that's how they are measured. When savings are being challenged—like they were in the 2005-2008 timeframe—it results in a diminishing level of return. The question then becomes, "How do we create value for our business if that value is diminishing?

en | N/A | N/A | Class Notes: 10/23/2013Mark 6:52; The disciples did not understand because their hearts were hardened. The doctrine of hardness of heart
In our study of Mark we are in Mark 6:52; where we see that the "disciples" The word translated "but" is the very strong Greek adversative conjunction "alla".
elief. In other words they had spiritual amnesia that was caused by their hardness of heart that resulted in unbelief. This is why they demonstrated the excess of amazement at his miracle of walking on the water. Mark 6:51;
The soul is what provides self-consciousness. Man is aware of his own existence and is able to relate to both animate and inanimate life on earth. It is not the body, it is the soul, with it's self-consciousness and decision making capacity that is how God made man in His image. Gen 1:26-27; Gen 2:7. God is spiritual not material. He does not have a body.
And the heart translated from the Greek word "kardia", the right lobe of the soul that conand the launching pad for application of the knowledge that is understood and believed life. This is where all decisions are made.
Rom 1:20-22 and Prov 19:2 teach that all thought originates in these two lobes of the soul. The soul is therefore the source of all personal sin. It is where the battleground between the old sin nature and the Holy Spirit takes place, Matt 10:28; Eph 4:17-19;
This means that man has the ability to be negative or positive to anything in life. This freedom is the first law of Divine Establishment that is called volition. It is why God created humanity.
Mankind's volition becomes the source of his testimony regarding the fallen angel's allegation that God is unfair that is being adjudicated before the supreme court of heaven during the course of human history.
We see from this that hardness of heart is when the ability to recall and apply God's word under the system of faith rest in order is impaired or eliminated. This brings us to the doctrine of hardness of heart d.
When hardness of the heart occurs the valves of the right lobe shut down and stop so that God's word is no longer circulates in the stream of consciousness. Remember God's word is revealed in the categories of for the believer only s.
The pattern of negative volition and hardness of heart among unbelievers is found in Rom 1:18-32; This is why the norms and standards of what is "acceptable" in our country have changed so dramatically over the past generation.
Mark 6:52; describes this as the doctrinal tendency of the disciples who were religious and moral which is why they had difficulty exhibiting faith even though Jesus was constantly performing miracles right in front of them.
The disciples could perceive the miracles but because of the hardness of heart from religion they were unable to metabolize or apply the doctrine that Jesus was revealing to them empirically through the miracles and through His teaching.
The premier example of hardness of heart is the Pharaoh of Egypt that is an example of hardness of heart in an unbeliever. The pharaoh of the Exodus hardened his own heart by constant and continuous rejection of God's word.
Pharaoh had the same chance to be saved that Moses did. Rom 9:15; Rom 9:17; in addition God was not willing that Pharaoh should perish. 1Tim 2:1-4; 1John 2:2;
But Pharaoh, like the religious Jewish leadership of Jesus' day, kept on rejecting the gospel. Both the Pharaoh of the Exodus and the Jews of our Lord's time demonstrated their hardness of heart. John 12:40; Net note 84; . T.
Because of his chronic hardness of heart God eventually removed all restraint from Pharaoh's negative volition by giving him opportunities to say no to God repeatedly in order to carry it further than anyone had ever done in his day Exodus 9:12,16; Exod 10:1-2; Exod 10:27; |

en | N/A | N/A | Another prominent prophetic movement issued from Mike Bickle's Metro Christian Fellowship church in Kansas City, Missouri, in the 1980s. Here such prophets as Bickle, Bob Jones, Paul Cain and John Paul Jackson conducted prophecy services and conferences serving thousands who came for personal prophecies.
Cain then joined forces with Wimber as a sort of "prophet in residence." This began a period of prophetic utterances from Cain that influenced the entire Vineyard movement. For several years Wimber and his team produced a stream of books, articles and major teachings on prophecy in their periodical Equipping the Saints.
In 1990, after an attack on the Kansas City Prophets by local Kansas City pastors, Wimber stepped in and offered to receive Metro Christian Fellowship into his Association of Vineyard Churches. For a time Wimber, Cain and Bickle led a far-reaching campaign to restore prophecy in the Vineyard churches and in the church at large.
This period came to an end when Wimber expelled the Toronto Vineyard from the Vineyard fellowship in 1995 over the issue of "exotic manifestations." Metro Christian Fellowship later withdrew from the Vineyard fellowship in protest.
ENCOURAGING THE GIFT
Recent prophecy movements have raised several serious questions among church leaders and theologians. For instance, some think that mass prophecy on demand often leads to mechanical and meaningless prophecies that could actually be harmful to the recipients. Usually people seeking prophetic guidance are counseled to seek confirmation elsewhere and not base any major decision on just one prophecy.
Despite these and other questions, the church should be thankful that the gift of prophecy has been abundantly manifested in this generation. Thousands of mighty ministries have been energized by words of prophecy.
A recent example is the prophecy made many years ago that Reinhard Bonnke would one day see 1 million souls converted in one service. This actually took place in his millennium crusade in Lagos, Nigeria, in 2000. On one night, 1,093,745 persons signed decision cards testifying to having accepted Christ as their Savior.
Without questioning they found their way to Belen on the Para River in 1910, and in 1912, they organized the first church movement to use the name Assemblies of God (AG) out of a local Baptist church.
By the end of the century the Brazilian AG church numbered more than 15 million members. Together with other Pentecostal and charismatic groups, the number of Pentecostal renewalists in Brazil now number some 79 million persons.
New York City, 1919: A prophecy was given to Ivan Voronaev in Manhattan in 1919. The words of the prophecy said, "Voronaev, Voronaev, journey to Russia." A recent convert to Pentecostalism from a Russian Baptist church, Voronaev took his family to the Ukraine in 1920. During his ministry, more than 350 Pentecostal churches were planted in many Slavic nations.
Johannesburg, South Africa, 1936: Illiterate English evangelist Smith Wigglesworth prophesied to David du Plessis, calling him to leave the "Jerusalem" of his native South Africa. The prophecy told of a worldwide ministry of traveling to introduce Pentecost to the mainline churches.
In what is now seen as predictive of the charismatic renewal, Wigglesworth's utterance spoke of a mighty Pentecostal outpouring in the mainline churches that would make the older Pentecostal movement "look like a joke" in comparison.
Du Plessis became a world ambassador for Pentecostalism and, indeed, a mighty charismatic movement in the mainline churches broke out in 1960. In his last years du Plessis was known as "Mr. Pentecost."
Enid, Oklahoma, 1948: Oral Roberts, who brought the message of divine healing into the living rooms of the nation, received a prophecy which impelled him into a worldwide ministry.
While pastoring a small Pentecostal church in rural Oklahoma, Roberts heard a voice saying, "You will take My healing power to your generation." His subsequent healing ministry and Oral Roberts University attest to the power of the prophecy.
Los Angeles, 1952: On the night of December 26, 1952, Demos Shakarian, troubled by the seeming failure of his layman's movement, was given an extended vision of the world with an army of Spirit-filled businessmen .
His wife, Rose, prophesied that what he had seen in his vision would soon come to pass. The Full Gospel Business Men went on to be a major carrier of the Pentecostal/charismatic revival in the next three decades, bringing millions of mainline Christians intoesota Interagency Fire Center

Detroit — Investigators are working to expunge the criminal records of a Michigan man who was mistakenly targeted through a facial recognition software after Detroit's mayor and police chief both stated his arrest was inexcusable.
Robert Williams, a Detroit native who lives in Farmington Hills, was mistakenly tagged by the police department's software as a suspected shoplifter at Midtown's Shinola store, where five watches were taken, in 2018.
Williams was arrested in January, without an explanation for his arrestarraigned on a first-degree theft charge and received a $1,000 bond after informing detectives their vague surveillance footage was not a match. Detectives realized "the computer got it wrong," and released Williams, he said. Charges were dropped by the Wayne County Prosecutor's Office for insufficient evidence.
In addition to working with the prosecutor's office, Detroit police are seeking to remove Williams' DNA profile and mug shot from a state database, a representative told The Detroit News.
The move comes a day after the ACLU of Michigan filed a complaint against Detroit police officials seeking a public apology to Williams' family and that the department abandons the facial recognition software stating it could lead to the wrongful arrest of another African-American man.
The case might be the first of its kind and brings to light flaws in the use of the software that many police departments across the nation use or are considering using, civil attorneys say.
Meanwhile, the city's mayor and police chief are speaking out about what led to the arrest, acknowledging it was a mistake.
A loss-prevention officer reviewed the video footage showing a person wearing a St. Louis Cardinals baseball cap. The videos were sent to Detroit Police Crime Intel for a search through facial recognition and a hit came back for Williams, a police report showed.
Detroit detectives showed a six-photo lineup that included Williams to the loss-prevention worker, who identified Williams, according to the report. It took months for police to issue an arrest warrant and several more before they called Williams at work and asked him to come to the Police Department.
Detroit officers arrested Williams in January while he was on the front lawn of his Farmington Hills home with his wife, mother-in-law and two young daughters, who cried as their father was placed in the police car. He was in custody overnight then arraigned, the ACLU said.
The Wayne County Prosecutor's Office said the case was dismissed because the Shinola security official who was shown the photo line-up was not physically present during the crime.while the department was still using Michigan State Police facial recognition software. DPD acquired its own system in 2017; however, policies were put in place in January to mitigate the flaws in the system.
Craig blamed shoddy police work for Williams' arrest, not the system. He said discipline is being discussed for the three investigators involved in the case and personally apologized for the incident..”
The mayor added, "I do not support facial recognition for surveillance. It is not accurate enough for moving images to match to anybody" and that it is solely used as a tool.
The Police Department's two-year $1 million contract for the controversial software is set to expire in July. The Detroit City Council was expected to begin reviewing the administration's request to extend the contract through fall 2022 and increase funding for it, but the request was pulled last week amid uproar from the public concerned that the software could discriminate against people of color.
Police "unthd," said ACLU attorney Phil Mayor in the complaint.
"It conducted a shoddy and incomplete investigation, its officers were rude and threatening, and it has completely failed to respond to a FOIA request seeking relevant records."
Duggan said advanced technology can be helpful to solving cases — like the Innocence Project, which uses DNA matching — if it's properly used.
"When technology is used properly, by law enforcement officials, it can make sure that the innocent are cleared as well as that the guilty are convicted and what we need to do with facial recognition technology is follow those policies," he said.
On Thursday,d the software should not be used.
“The arrest of Robert Williams is a travesty that shows in bas relief the bankrupt, backwards and inherently racist practice known as facial recognition. In this new era where the world has caught the fire of Black Lives Matter, practices like facial recognition are fast becoming obsolete," the group said in a statement. "The city of Boston has already banned it, and Fortune 500 corporations like IBM, Microsoft and Amazon are refusing to invest further in the technology, and have said they would no longer share their software with police departments.

en | N/A | N/A | Legal rights of a son on father’s property after divorce of parents
According to the Mitakshara School under Hindu Law, theIf it is a self-acquired property of the parents/father, the son cannot claim it. But there can be a consideration regarding the same if he can prove his contribution to the property. The self-acquired property is unlike ancestral property. It is created and contains his earnings and property, which he has acquired independently.
While a son has a right by birth in his father’s ancestral property, he does not have such rights in his father’s self-acquired property. If the father chooses to exclude his son from his will, a son will not get any share of his father’s self-acquired property.
A daughter will continue to be a co-parcener in the ancestral property, even after her parents’ divorce. She will have a claim on her parents’ property even after divorce. However, if the property is self-acquired, then she will have a right over the property if she has not been specifically excluded from the will of her parent’s intestate. |

Monday, 29/10/2018 | 08:25 GMT by Celeste Skinner
Monex Group, a Tokyo-based financial services company, has announced its first-half operates a number of brokerages worldwide, experienced a solid period - with revenues and profit up.
Taking a look at the firm's operating results, Monex Group recorded a total revenue of ¥26.8 billion ($239.3 million). This is an increase of 6.3 percent year-on-year. From this, operating revenue was also up on an annual basis, jumping by 6.8 percent from ¥24.6 in the first half of 2017 to reach ¥26.4 in H1 of 2018. The overall profit for Monex Group was ¥1.7 billion as of the first half.
Japanese brokerage Monex Inc, a subsidiary of Monex group, experienced a profit of ¥800 million. This is down by 13 percent from the first quarter. According to the report released by the firm, profit was dragged down by a decline in market trading volume, which drove brokerage commissions down. The Tokyo-based broker did see an increasecome during the second quarter.
Moving to the Asia Pacific region, Monex Boom Securities managed to increase its revenue on a quarter-on-quarter basis. This was mainly due to active trading by one of the brokers largest clients. Monex Securities Australia, on the other hand, weighed down the region as it has only recently begun operations. As a result, the region experienced a segment loss of ¥6 million.
Coincheck,yet again weighed down the team in terms of revenues. This is because following the exchange being hacked, its service has been suspended since January of this year. As a result, Coincheck only allows existing customers to sell their cryptocurrency.
This means it can only achieve a limited revenue stream, resulting in a segment loss of ¥600 million. At present, the exchange is working towards resuming its full service, as it has improved its governance, internal control, and internal audit. |

en | N/A | N/A | We are all interested to see how the longevity sector will be, as such leading experts have been hitting the spreadsheets and are sharing their projections for the upcoming year, like Dominic Endicott of 4Gen Ventures, the Agetech fund is expected to close fundraising soon to begin investing early into 2020. The following is an excerpt of the discussion with Longevity Technology.
The strong growth of the longevity market is largely being driven be those over the age of 50 as well as those with disposable income. Agetech is about the digital enablement of services for this population and the associated disruption in traditional spending; take for example the $400 billion senior living space sector, which is under pressure, and things ranging from the implosion in long term care insuranc. Expect to see digital giants, unicorns, and start ups target sections of the senior care market, the level of interest in this market will get competitive. Just look at the latest tech: AI, wearables, robotic automation, and advances in self driving cars these are all about extending the digital ecosystem further into society and Agetech will be a big part of this.
The global Agetech market is set to double from $1 to $2 trillion by current estimates, which is driven by two factors, growth in the Longevity Economy spending by those aged 50+ growing from $26 trillion to $37 trillion globally, and the growth rate of digitalization from 4-8%. This may sound like a big number, to investigate top down math with bottom up data it helps to look at companies to see how much revenue is Agetech. The American Agetech market is estimated for the largest 35 American consumer brands that adds up to $350 billion, which suggests that the global estimate of $1 trillion may be too low.
To qualify there are two requirements: spending must be by or on behalf of those aged 50+, and it must be digital, this could be something acquired via a digital channel such as a book on Amazon, food purchased using an app, or an internet subscription. This is a blunt instrument which will be refined with time. The largest and fastest growing Agetech companies are Amazon and Apple which are closely followed by Tesla and AirBnb. Telecoms and cable companies are major Agetech players due to their investments in the infrastructure, but whether they will leverage their strong positions to grow their share or let the Amazons and Apples claim the throne is open for debate. Most other Global 2000 companies are pretty far behind, though we are seeing some interest from retailers and financial services firms.
Although and Apple are becoming strong the dominant player is Amazon who understands that age is the final frontier in terms of how long we can live and in terms of user experience frontier. Amazon can combine all of its assets ranging from e-commerce to store networks and communications to deliver compelling digital solutions to the 50+ consumer. All of the tech giants understand that the largest digital transition has yet to happen, this is of those aged 50+, and this will require a new wave which will likely need to be more simple. But this is not just about using new technology such as voice or AI, it is about understanding the user journey of these older customers, and this is where Amazon’s obsession with user experience will be an asset and possible advantage.
Although the Agetech market has big players in place, any Fortune 1000 company has an opportunity to grow if they plan ahead and play to win. There are many companies that are set to have advantages to serve the older population such as the communications players because they have digitized their networks and have a large base of older customers. s take these older customers for granted and fail to develop new services at the same speed of the tech giants and are at risk of falling behind.
The longevity market is massive and still forming, thus corporate mindsets need to change and adapt quickly or get left behind. Agetech is the next and untapped massive VC market that could be as large as or even larger than Fintech or Proptech. Agetech is broader than healthcare, and it will encompass sectors such as property, transportation,as well as the future of work, finance and food.
VC backed Agetech revenue is currently estimated to be at about $2 billion annually in America, by 2050 this could grow to be $35 billion or more which will be across a broad range of categories including care but reaching far broader. That $1 trillion figure, assuming that American is about $500 billion, means that today we are just a tad short of 1% of Agetech being VC backed. Assuming the American value will double to $1 trillion would imply VC backed firms would only have 3.5% of the total; point being that there is much head room to grow.
VC is all about timing, and we are seeing lots of signs of the Agetech explosion happening now. In addition to Great Call acquiring Best Buy last year for $800 million, Pillpack was also acquired last year by Amazon for $1 billion, and there is a list of around 10 unicorns that are looking like they are stealth Agetech players. As more companies become aware of the spending capacity of the 50+ population we will see the best entrepreneurs shift to serve their needs. This explosion has already begun but has been largely invisible, which is how most older people actually feel. 4Gen wants to increase the visibility of what is already happening. |

Some applications send multiple message types. Other applications are interested in different combinations of these types.
For example, consider a financial system where several applications maintain customer information.olds the master customer information. However, a typical situation for integration scenarios exists—customer information also resides in other systems that perform their own customer information management functions. A customer-facing application generates update messages for changes to customer information, such as changes to customer addresses. The messages must reach the CRM application as well as the other applications that manage customer information. However, this message type is meaningless to the integrated applications that do not manage customer information.

An application in an integration architecture may send several message types. For example, the application may send customer information messages and operational messages about its status. (Status is also referred to as health in this context). Likewise, an application in an integration architecture is usually interested only in a subset of the messages that are sent by the other applications. For example, a portfolio manager is interested only in the financial transactions that affect the stocks that it manages.
The extent to which applications let you add information to their messages varies widely. Fixed binary messages usually provide no flexibility or limited flexibility in this area. In contrast, it is usually easy to extend SOAP messages through envelope elements.
Most integration architectures integrate proprietary applications. These applications often make strong assumptions about the messages that they use to communicate with other applications in the environment. Even with a flexible message format, it may be difficult to insert or to process message elements that the application does not know about.

### Breaking change commit
Now you make a commit to have `moduleB` returning an `Array` instead of a single value. That's a breaking change. The changes would be like this.
`index.js` in `moduleA`:
const moduleB = require('moduleB');
console.log(b.sort()); // Now we expect an Array
`index.js` in `moduleB`:
return [3, 2, 1]; // Now we return an Array
Then you push the commit and `semantic-release-monorepo` run.
`semantic-release-monorepo` would release the version `2.0.0` of `moduleB` that returns an `Array`, everything ok so far.
But then it would make a `2.0.0` release of `moduleA` with the following content:
`package.json` in `moduleA`:
"name": "moduleA",
console.log(b.sort());
The `moduleA` package is broken because it's `package.json` refer to `[email protected]` which returns a single value, however the code in it's `index.js` expects an `Array`. So user's of `moduleA` will get an error.
The only way to make that works is to update the cross-dependencies in `moduleA` after releasing `moduleB` and before releasing `moduleB`, which is not done by `semantic-release-monorepo`.
<issue_comment>username_10: Why would `moduleA` expect `moduleB` to return an array? It's explicitly depending on `moduleB` version `^1.0.0`, which returns a single value. It has to wait until after `moduleB` version `2.0.0` is publishe7: The missing steps in `semantic-release-monorepo` are 1 and 4.
The benefit of a mono-repo is that you can modify multiple packages at once. It allow to build a feature that spans across multiple packages more easily. if you don't support this scenario there is no much point in using a mono-repo.
Without that, if you want to make a feature that span across multiple packages you have to update `moduleA` code, then commit, then release, then update `moduleA`'s `package.json`, then modify `moduleA`'s code, then commit, then release. That's the workflow used in an architecture with one module per repo.
So if you don't support modifications that spans across multiple packages in the mono-repo, you loose the main advantage of having a mono-repo.
<issue_comment>username_10: I disagree. When you have many similar packages (e.g. a component library), having separate repositories for each individual package is much more difficult to manage.
<issue_comment>username_13: For the general case of mono-repo to work (as lerna, babel, etc do it), any change in a dependent (local) package **must** result in a new release of the depending package. I'm really not sure how either tool can determine _what_ bump to make though. In most of these cases the only commit would be the dep bump in the depending package. I'm guessing tools like `lerna` would need to make a choice about what bump to make and format the commit message appropriately?
<issue_comment>username_11: In lerna's case, the dependent bump is dependent (heh) on what was decided elsewhere during the publish process.
In the default "fixed" versioning scheme, it just takes the same bump as everything else. It gets more complicated in the "independent" versioning scheme, but _generally_ it's a semver `patch`, unless I'm mistaken (I don't use "independent" very often, myself). The generated commit message is just a version (or a list of versions when independent).
When using `--conventional-commits`, in either versioning scheme, `lerna` currently weasels out with a "Version bump only" message for dependent changelog messages. I'd like to improve that, perhaps bubbling up at least _some_ notice of what dependencies changed, but it's kinda far down on my8: Why is this? If the depending package has a caret semver range dependency, and the depended-upon package made a bug fix that didn't touch the depending package in any way, why would the depending package need_8 https://github.com/lerna/lerna/pull/707 and many issues linked to that PR explains the reasoning in-depth. TL;DR: Versions are cheap, silent transitive regressions aren't, and lerna will always err in favor of safety.
<issue_comment>username_8: Empty/noop versions are cheap for the publisher, but annoying for the consumer:
- when using Renovate/Greenkeeper/... you get countless PRs that effectively change nothing
- when using Sibbel, you get countless notification emails for new releases that have no changes
- when scrolling through GitHub releases, there are countless entries that have no changes
I don't know what you mean with "silent transitive regressions" as it's not clear to me how releasing noop versions solve that problem in any way (vs unit tests etc). I looked through the linked PR and issues but am not familiar enough with lerna to understand what flags are being talked about. If it is possible to avoid empty versions then I believe semantic-release should do it, independent of what lerna does.
<issue_comment>username_13: @username_8 it's not obviously intuitive on the face of it (and bless @username_11 he has talked to so many folks about this), but not publishing a new version leads to bugs in a way that isn't determinable from the start. It's easy to say SR shouldn't have this behavior but it's really required for these tools to work generally, otherwise the repo's get into bad states. If SR can be unopionated such that lerna can implement this behavior on top of it great, but I'd consider a required use-case for SR to allow.
<issue_comment>username_10: Is this mainly about using linked packages in a `lerna` repo?
<issue_comment>username_11: No, this 14: Even though the release didn't break the `pkg-ext-1`, maybe a new release with an updated dependency for that package is desired. The semver range of `pkg-ext-1` now doesn't cover the newest release of `pkg-core`, so npm or yarn won't install the latest version.
To fix this, it would be nice to automatically create a new release for all packages that have a dependency on `pkg-core`. This should be configurable, some would like a patch release (`[email protected]`), some would like minor release (`[email protected]`) and others would maybe like a major release (which would result in all packages releasing a new major version).
This would mean that (if you make this configurable) this would be a third option in the `monorepo` config.
"monorepo": {
"mode": "independent",
"packages": ["packages/*"],
"onBreakingRelease": "minor",
Did I miss some widely used use-cases here? I think this would make most monorepos workable with semantic-release.
<issue_comment>username_15: From my point of view, the only thing preventing the existing monorepo managers from using `semantic-release` is that the log is pulled from the entire repo. Would it be possible to introduce |

A Book Sale In My Girl Friend's Kitchen
Saturday afternoon Amy and I decided to cash in a gift certificate we had received from a friend and associate. It was for a meal at a place where you choose an entrée, assemble the ingredients in Ziploc bags, take them home and cook them following the directions furnished. Luckily, Amy called the place to make certain they would be open on a Saturday afternoon; they were just about to close but said I should come on over and they would have everything we wanted, prepared and waiting. It was an interesting experience.
I d me by name because she had talked with Amy on the phone; nice touch. I handed her the gift certificate and she began to make up an invoice at her computer; she was also getting information from me for future follow up.
"Have you purchased from us before?"
She looked at the Gift Certificate.
"He is a friend and sells our book and seminars for small business owners.
I handed her my card and when she had read the back of it, told me,
"To market successfully, you need, first, to know how we buy. We all perform the same five steps in every buying decision, we may do this in ten seconds, or over three years, but the crucial step will be completed early in the process. The key is what happens in the first five seconds. We look at your store, we enter, and glance around, then either turn and leave or stay to talk with you or your associate. In those five seconds a perception has formed in our mind with out any conscious effort or control. For the person, who turned around and walked out, it was negative, for the one that stays to talk, it was positive. What you and or your associate do next strengthens that positive perception or destroys it. This is a fact.
Another customer came in; I got a book and some bookmarks from the car and waited while she took care of the customer. Then I gave her the bookmark, our major marketing tool. It is very effective, because it says just enough, but not too much, about the book, with reader comments extolling the results they have experienced after reading it. She read both sides, I handed her the book; she spent 4-5 minutes looking through it while I waited in silence.
"I'll take the book, now let's finish with getting your dinner paid for, I'll pay for the Book with cash."
"Wonderful, I'll sign it for you."
I usually carry a bookmark in my pocket, but this worked out well.

I just got a road bike and needed lights. Is this the most powerful light? Who knows. I bought a similar 300 lumen light at the big w mart for $15 and this light (above) was at least double the brightness on the road. It's got 3 modes, direct beam, wide, and strobe. The direct beam is the most useful for me. It lights about a 3 foot area on the ground about 7 feet in front of the bike. The wide beam is useless, unless you are maybe in the woods or in complete darkness. The strobe mode is very obnoxious. I can see that being VERY distracting to drivers, or helpful for bringing on seizures.
It comes with several rubber washers to fit bars of different thicknesses. No tools required, and the light pops off easily if you need to take it with you. It also didn't budge once while riding. My other light was hoping all over the place.
The taillights are very nice. They are just rubber that you can snap onto your seat-stay bars. They give great visibility from the rear and the side. 3 modes with them: on, slow blink, and fast blink.
To "be seen" by cars, this is all you need. To see obstacles on the ground, like others have said on here, the brightness level you need depends on how fast you ride. For me, I ride a single-speed Dawes street fighter and average around 11 mph. This light is enough for me to see obstacles and avoid them (direct beam only).
Xtreme LED Light Review
This light is fantastic! Made of durable aluminum it appears well made and ready to last. It attaches securely to the handlebar using a suburb rubber mounting system. I've used it on a few rainy nights with no issues of any seal compromise.
It illuminates really well on the bright setting but is acceptable on low or strobe mode as well! I now have purchased another one as
my experience with the first was so positive. Oh, and the rear lights work good also. However, the rubber band type mounting is questionable as to how long it'll last? But, the good news is there are 2 as part of the package so there is a backup. Overall the quality equals or slightly exceeds the
Mounting clip way too fragile
By Michael P Scarpa
On each of three units purchased for myself and my partner, the clip on the mounting bracket broke at very slight contact/in one case from normal wear and tear, rendering the light useless. It's a very nice light, but we now have three of them sitting in a drawer and have moved on to another product. |
en | N/A | N/A | Damian Jones is the leading contender to start at center
The Warriors’ big will start in Friday’s preseason game against the Kings.
By Brady Klopfer@BradyKlopferNBA Oct 4re aren’t too many questions aboutare retaining their core pieces from a year ago, and are, unquestionably, favorited to win their fourth title in five years.
But while there aren’t many questions, there are a few as the team prepares for their October 16 opener against the Oklahoma City Thunder. Perhaps the biggest question is how their center rotation will shake out, especially early in the season.
With DeMarcus Cousins sidelined for a few months with an Achilles injury, the Warriors have three options at center: Kevon Looney, who had a breakout performance last year in his third season, Damian Jones, who is the largest option, and entering his third year, and the exciting Jordan Bell, who is beginning his second campaign.
Each has their strengths, and their weaknesses. Looney is the best player defensively, but struggles on offense. Bell has the greatest potential, but is at times a little undisciplined. And Jones has the build of a traditional center, but has yet to prove his ability at the NBA level.
But for now, Jones appears to be in pole position to win the starting job. The seven-foot center started the preseason opener, and will start in the team’Sacramento Kings.
Steve Kerr said he will start Damian Jones at center tomorrow
— Mark Medina (@MarkG_Medina) October 4, 2018
After Friday, the Warriors will still have three more preseason games to determine who gets the starting nod. It’s clear, however, that Kerr favors Jones, which shouldn’t be any surprise - Kerr also started Zaza Pachulia for much of the last two years, proving that he’s a fan of giving the game’s first minutes to a player who fits the traditional center archetype.
Jones has only played 206 minutes in his career, including the playoffs, but he’s tall, he’s big, he sets good screens, and he can defend at the rim. That may be enough for Kerr and the coaching staff.
The Warriors play the Kings at 7:30 p.m. PT on Friday, at KeyArena in Seattle, on ESPN. They will be playing shorthanded, as both Steph Curry and Draymond Green will miss the game. |

It is demonstrated on a fiber-texton of, , directly from the 3D PDF of the sample. A real-space equivalent of the reciprocal-rmore, it is s including iber-∼10°. Finally, an open-source Python software package, FouriGUI, is described t-.
Keywords: materials modeling; nanostructure; texture; 3D pair distribution functions; real-space pole figures; real-space fiber plots; FouriGUI.
A, neutron or electron diffraction data is a powerful method to investigate local structure in materials, which can range from amorphous to crystalline (Egami & Billinge, 2012 ). It is particularly useful for studying structure in small nanoparticles (Yang et al., 2013 ; Grote et al., 2021 ), battery materials (Shan et al., 2019 ; Hu et al., 2021 ) and thin films (Dippel et al., 2020 ; Song et al., 2021 ).
Conventionally, the PDF assumes the sample to be structurally isotropic, for example, a perfect powder sample. In general, polycrystalline samples may not always conform to this ideal and have preferred orientation of their grains called a crystallographic texture. Historically, depending on the extent of the texture, PDF analysis of such samples is not possible or requires tedious sample preparation, which results in a loss of all texture information (Dippel et al., 2019 ; Roelsgaard et al., 2019 ; Guo et al., 2013 ).
Recently, it was shown how to propagate texture information from samples through the Fourier transform to obtain a 3D PDF of a textured polycrystalline sample, henceforth referred to as a txPDF (Gong & Billinge, 2018 ). This would allow, in principle, thens that encode the texture directly in real space, which may be favorable if the powder grains are nanocrystalline. In the case of weakly textured samples, equations have also been derived to correct the Debye scattering equation for texture information (Cervellino & Frison, 2020 ).
In this article, we explore how to extract texture and structural information, in practice, from the txPDF. After reviewing the mathematical framework of the txPDF (Gong & Billinge, 2018 ), we describe data acquisition, data processing, texture- and structure-analysis procedures on the example of a fiber-textured Pt thin film. We show how to obtain real-space pole figures and fiber plots, and show how theexture in the sample. We also explore how conventional untextured PDFs may be recovered from the data for structural modeling. The experiments are quick, especially at a high-power synchrotron, and the analysis is straightforward. For textured nanostructure, where analysis of well defined Bragg peaks is problematic, this is likely to be a valuable tool for studying texture, and also shows an approach to mitigate texture when the structure of a nanostructured sample is the target.
Here, we summarize the theory of the 3D PDF of textured polycrystalline samples, txPDF, that was introduced by Gong & Billinge (2018 ). In contrast to the txPDF, the conventional 1D PDF is herein referred to as pwPDF to differentiate it.
Below we summarize the extension to this equation for the case where the scattering is not isotropic.
pwPDF measurements are often carried out at synchrotron sources due to the abundance of high-energy X-rays. Data are acquired on 2D area detectors. To yield S(Q), the 2D detector image is azimuthally integrated after applying any masks for problematic pixels in the image, resulting in a 1D function of X-ray intensity versus Q. The conversion from detector units to Q is carried out with the help of a calibration measurement using a known material. Parasitic scattering is removed, such as measured background signals, and other effects such as multiple scattering and incoherent scattering are also removed, and the intensity is divided by the average of the atomic form factor for the material resulting in S(Q), which is then propagated through the Fourier transform to obtain the pwPDF. More details may be found in the work of Egami & Billinge (2012 ).
In the case of a textured sample, Bragg peak intensities are not uniform in space. The intensities are increased or decreased relative to the average value depending on the orientation of the sample and the direction in space that the intensity is measured. In the case where the Bragg intensities are measured with a 2D detector, this can result in the diffraction image exhibiting intensity variations around the Debye–Scherrer rings, or sometimes uniform rings but incorrect relative intensities of peaks as a function of Q. Fig. 1 compares detector images of the textured Pt thin-film diffraction pattern at different tilt angles, ϕ, and with an untextured film. Here ϕ is the angle between the incident beam and the plane of the film, and an untextured perfect powder detector image.
Sections of detector images of the textured Pt sample at different tilt angles ϕ, and a simulated perfect powder Pt detector image. The colorscale is in arbitrary units.
As a result, the intensity of the peaks in the azimuthally integrated, I(Q), are different to the I(Q) of a perfect powder sample, though the peak positions are not altered. If this 1D pattern is handled as if it were from a perfect powder it results in a signal that is distorted from the pwPDF (Fig. 2 ). This makes, depending on the extent of the texture, modeling of such pwPDFs impossible (Fig. 2 ).
Comparison of measured and best-fit calculated PDFs for diffraction images taken at different sample orientations. The blue circles are the experimental PDFs for sample tilt angles ϕ = 1, 11, 45 and 89°, and from the average of the diffraction images from 1 to 89°. The red curves are the best-fit calculated PDFs from an untextured face-centred cubic model. The green curves arPDFs. The PDF refinement from the angle-averaged pattern yields a good result with Rw = 13.5%. Among the single-angle PDFs, ϕ = 11° shows the best refinement result (Rw = 18.1%) and ϕ = 89° shows the worst result (Rw = 63.6%) (Fig. S5).
is the 3D scattering function. S(Q) can be determined from a 3D scattering volume, I(Q), which can be reconstructed from a set of diffraction images.
Since a diffraction image measured on a 2D area detector is a slice on the surface of the Ewald sphere through reciprocal space, it is possible to reconstruct a 3D reciprocal scattering volume, I(Q), from a sufficiently complete set of diffraction images with the sample at different orientations, and from there obtain the 3D PDF according to equation (3 ).
The txPDF formalism describes the texture by introducing the orientation distribution function (ODF) to a polycrystalline 3D PDF (Gong & Billinge, 2018 ). The ODF gives the probability density for a crystallite to face orientation Ω, which is the three angles containing the Euler angles of the crystallite in the sample reference frame.
Here N′ is the number of atoms in the crystallite, rij is the vector from atom i to atom j, R(Ω) is the rotation matrix rotating rij from the sample reference frame to the respective crystallite orientation, and fi and fj are the atomic form factors of atom i and atom j, respectively, in the crystallite. These equations are derived more fully by Gong & Billinge (2018 ).
Here we test the txPDF method on experimental data for the case of a nanostructured polycrystalline Pt thin film that exhibits a strong fiber texture with 〈111〉 crystallographic directions tending to align perpendicular to the film direction. The sample was fabricated by sputter deposition (CS 500 ES, Von Ardenne GmbH) of a 50 nm Pt layer (target from FHR Anlagenbau GmbH) on a glass substrate of size 1 × 1 cm with an intermediate evaporated 15 nm aluminium oxide adhesion layer (granulate from Evochem GmbH) is shown in Fig. 3 .

Fig. 4 summarizes the experimental procedure and data processing. The measurement was performed at beamline P07 a(Gustafson et al., 2014 ). The beam energy was 79.5 keV. The beam size was 0.5 × 0.5 mm. Data were collected on a PerkinElmer XRD1621 detector. The detector was calibrated by diffraction images of a lanthanum hexaboride coated glass substrate using the pyFAI software (Ashiotis et al., 2015 ).
The experimental and data-processing procedure. (a) Reconstruction of a tilt series of 2D scattering images to a 3D scattering volume I(Q). (b) Processing to the total scattering structure function S(Q), with application of symmetry averaging, interpolation, and cutoff beyond Qmin and Qmax. (c) Fourier transformation to the txPDF G(r).
Diffraction images were measured at angles from ϕ = 1 to 89° with a step size of 1°. The set of diffraction images was transformed from detector coordinates to reciprocal-space coordinates using the Python library meerkat (Simonov, 2019 ). Meerkat loads the diffraction images and bins each pixel to points in reciprocal space to reconstruct the 3D scattering volume.
Next, it was necessary to make corrections to the data to convert raw intensities to the properly corrected and normalized S(Q) function that can be Fourier transformed to the txPDF. The measured scattering intensity from a sample will change during the measurement due to various experimental reasons, e.g. the illuminated volume of the sample at different tilt angles and changes in incident-beam intensity, and this needs to be normalized. If the geometry of the sample is well known and the incident beam monitored, such effects on the intensity can be explicitly corrected (Egami & Billinge, 2012 ). In this experiment, the main intensity variation originates from the varying tilt angle. In general, to account for such variations, we can apply a post hoc correction for these effects by applying a systematic scaling to the diffraction pattern as a whole. To determine the post hoc scaling factor we did the following. First, we assumed that away from the Q values where Pt Bragg reflections exist, the scattering intensity is coming predominantly from the glass substrate and other incoherent sources (such as Compton scattering and any fluorescence), all of which are isotropic and should scale with the illuminated sample volume. In this case, the scaling can be obtained from the total sum of the intensity in the azimuthally averaged I′(Q), i.e. , where the prime denotes that this I′(Q) excludes regions that contain Pt Bragg reflection intensities, and the sum is over N intensity bins. This post hoc correction will be difficult to execute whenever the Bragg reflections are not easily distinguishable from the background scattering, such as in the case of low-symmetry or multiphase systems with too many Bragg reflections, or very small nanostructures where the Bragg reflections are too broad. In such cases, it is favorable to apply scaling based on simple geometrical considerations (Egami & Billinge, 2012 ). The value of the applied scale factor versus ϕ is shown in Fig. S2 of the supporting information . It is compared with the scaling that is expected for our sample geometry (Egami & Billinge, 2012 ). The agreement is very good, except in the region of glancing angle, where the diverges but the measured intensity from the sample turns over and comes back down. This could be because of scattering from the edges of the sample, imperfect alignment of the sample and the detector, or due to the beam footprint exceeding the size of the sample. If the sample is even a tiny bit too high or too low at grazing incidence, the beam can partially miss the sample or be predominantly absorbed by the substrate, respectively, which would cause the observed effect. These factors make grazing-incidence experiments rather specialized in general (Feidenhans'l, 1989 ; Dosch, 1992 ; Gustafson et al., 2014 ). Here, we are not concerned about making a high-quality grazing-incidence PDF measurement, but rather measuring the film over a wide angular range, and the post hoc correction allows us to make use of the scattering deeper into the grazing-incidence regime, even with a non-ideal grazing-incidence alignment and setup there.
Representative slices through reciprocal space of the normalized transformed intensity data are shown in Figs. 5 (a)–5 (c).

There are large regions of reciprocal space missing. This is because of the rather small tilt range and relatively high tilt step size in our experiment. This can be remedied in general by taking many more images on a finer tilt grid (for example, steps of 0.1° rather than the 1° steps used here), measuring over a wider angular range, and ultimately doing this around two perpendicular rotation axes. However, in the current case, the high symmetry of the structure and the texture allowed us to reconstruct the reciprocal space rather completely, even from this limited set of data, through symmetrization. The symmetrization is discussed below. Finally, the data were interpolated to recover small missing regions within the scattering volume that were still present after symmetrization. The code we wrote to do the symmetrization can be found at https://github.com/diffpy/fourigui/tree/main/further_processing_code.
We define the film plane normal to be the sample-z direction, zs, ax direction, xs, and the sample-y direction, ys. We expect that,xs and ys c, when viewed along zsaxs, ys and zs, going through the center of the reciprocal space, we get the images in Figs. 5 (a)–5 (f).[Figs. 5 (a)–5 (c)]ns [Figs. 5 (d)–5 (f)]. Due to the strong fiber texture, our dataset exhibits rotational symmetry about the fiber axis or zs. Hence, we can readily apply all symmetry operations about the 111 fiber axis, which can be derived from the body-centred cubic reciprocal crystal structure of Pt (Table S3 of the supporting information). The symmetrization consists of individually applying the symmetry operations to the reconstructed scattering volume and eventually averaging the symmetry-operated datasets.
The symmetrized diffraction signal is then converted to S(Q) − 1 by dividing by the average-form-factor squared and rescaling, as shown in Fig. 4 . In practice, the measured intensity comprises several features in addition to the coherent-scattering intensity, such as incoherent Compton scattering, multiple scattering, self absorption and polarization effects of the X-ray beam, which we should correct for before Fourier transforming to the PDF (Egami & Billinge, 2012 ). In the case of the pwPDF, the scattering intensity can be corrected by modeling a polynomial correction term β(Q) (Juhás et al., 2013 ). By assuming that the scattering contributions are isotropic, we can calculate β(Q) by propagating the spherical integration of S(Q) − 1, S(Q) − 1, which should resemble the powder average, through the PDFgetX3 algorithm (Juhás et al., 2013 ). We then isotropically subtract the polynomial correction β(Q) from S(Q) − 1 to retrieve the coherent-scattering fraction. The correction procedure is schematically represented in Fig. S7. The same slices as shown in Figs. 5 (a)–5 (c), symmetrized and in the form of S(Q) − 1, are shown in Figs. 5 (d)–5 (f). The 3D diffraction intensities from a perfect powder would appear as concentric spheres in this reconstructed scattering volume, and so slices through the volume that go through the origin of reciprocal space, as we plotted in the figure, would show uniform circles. This is indeed what we see in the slice looking down zs, the fiber axis [Fig. 5 (f)]. The circles are also evident in the slices that are perpendicular, xs and ys [Figs. 5 (d) and 5 (e)]. However, the circles appear broken and have non-uniform intensities as you go around the azimuth, as a result of the texture. The two slices are, of course, identical to each other due to the fiber symmetry and the resulting symmetrization step.

O-figure construction (Bunge, 1982 ). In this construction we consider a reciprocal-lattice vector from a single crystal grain, ,We then consider this same reciprocal-lattice vector from every crystal grain, m, in the sample and do the same. This results in a construction where the tips of all the reciprocal-lattice vectors, , lie on the surface of a sphere of radius |Hhkl|, which we here refer to as the reciprocal-space pole sphere. Whe-Il-space pole sphere with the sample fiber axis.e vector) on the pole sphere. T-space pole sphere. In practice, for a given set of reciprocal-lattice vectors, , at Q = |Hhkl| in the reconstructed diffraction space is proportional to this quantity (assuming there are no other overlapping reciprocal-lattice vectors). The stereographic projection of these intensities results in the pole figure for that particular reciprocal-lattice vector, or set of symmetry-equivalent reciprocal-lattice vectors. In the pole figure, the fiber texture appears as circular rings of bright intensity, as shown in Fig. 6 .
Reciprocal-space pole figures derived from the scattering volume S(Q). Peaks: (a) {111}, (b) {002}, (c) {022}, (d) {133} and (e) {222}.
The standard pole-figure construction is inaccurate for materials that are not long range ordered since the scattering is not concentrated in sharp Bragg peaks lying at the reciprocal-lattice points. However, as shown above, it is possible to describe texture in terms of real-space structural vectors through the 3D txPDF construction. We can therefore explore the real-space analog of the pole figure as a stereographic projection of the intensity on the surface of the real-space pole sphere, which is defined analogously to the reciprocal-space pole sphere but for interatomic vectors ri,j. We can call the resulting stereograms: `real-space pole figures'. Projecting on the equatorial plane perpendicular to the fiber axis zs yields, as in the reciprocal-space pole figure, uniform concentric rings of bright intensity. However, despite the similar appearance of the reciprocal- and real-space pole figures, they are not equivalent texture representations as they come from very different origins, being constructed in different spaces. They encode the same information but in different ways, so direct visual comparison between them can be problematic. Representative real-space pole figures from our sample are shown in Fig. 7 .

Due to the fiber texture and the choice of projection plane, the pole-figure intensities are independent of the azimuthal angle and we can integrate them azimuthally to obtain 1D plots called fiber plots (Bunge, 1982 ; He, 2018 ). In the fiber-plot representation the intensity is plotted against the zenith (i.e. polar) angle, θ, which is the angle between the position vector of the pixel on the real/diffraction-space spheres and the polar axis, zs. In the center of the pole figure θ is 0°, and the outer ring at the edge of the pole figure is at θ = 90°. The reciprocal- and real-space fiber plots corresponding to these pole figures are shown in Fig. 8 .
(a) Reciprocal-space fiber plots of the first five X-ray diffraction reflections. (b) Real-space fiber plots of the first five PDF peaks. Gaussian fits of the peaks in the fiber plots are shown as solid traces. The fit of the reciprocal 111 reflection at θ = 0° is omitted because of low data quality at that region and poor resolution at low Q after the conversion to polar coordinates. The fit of the real 111 peak at θ = 70.53° is omitted because of a poor fit result due to the low intensity. The intensities of the reciprocal- and real-space fiber plots were retrieved by summing over all intensity values at the Hhkl value of the respective peak ± 0.1 Å−1 from the scattering volume S(Q) and over the rij values of the respective interatomic distance ± 0.1 Å from the txPDF G(r), respectively. Increasing the integration width for the fiber-plot construction does not reduce the high noise in the reciprocal-space fiber plot. All intensities beyond the vertical line at θ = 20° in (a) are multiplied by 5 since intensity values at high θ are hardly visible if put on the same scale as the high intensities at low θ values.
Assuming the fiber texture gives a Gaussian distribution of poles as a function of the zenith angle θ, we can fit a series of Gaussian functions to the peaks in the fiber plots. Apart from some noise in the data, we get stable fits. The positions of the fitted peaks in the reciprocal- as well as the real-space fiber plots, and , respectively, are in good agreement with the expected angle between the respective reciprocal/real vector and the 111 axis, which is the fiber axis (see Tables 1 and 2 ). The width of the peaks in the fiber plots comes from the angular distribution given by the degree/extent of the fiber texture convoluted with the intrinsic width of the peak in the 3D scattering volume or txPDF. We yielded similar results for the full width at half-maximum (FWHM) in the reciprocal and the real fiber plots, which confirms that our treatment of the data to obtain the txPDF is valid. The real FWHMs, at ∼13.6 ± 2.1°, are slightly larger than the reciprocal FWHMs (11.6 ± 1.2°), where the uncertainties represent the spread in values obtained from all the different reciprocal/real vectors. Although the difference between the real and reciprocal measures is within the variation of values, the txPDF is giving a width for the fiber texture that is rather consistently larger than that obtained from the reciprocal data. We attribute this to the convolution of the angular distribution from the fiber texture with the different intrinsic width of the PDF versus the Bragg peaks. To get a measure of the intrinsic peak widths, we compared the FWHMs of Gaussian fits of the first three peaks in the spherical integration of the scattering volume and the txPDF (Fig. S4). The PDF peak FWHMs (0.42 ± 0.02 Å) are slightly larger than the Bragg peak FWHMs (0.32 ± 0.04 Å−1), which is consistent with the above statement. Tthe different fitted peaks. Furthermore, a possible mosaicity in the crystals could contribute to the broader real-space fiber-plot peaks. The presence of mosaicity would be seen as a distribution in interatomic vector angles within a single crystallite, and seen in the txPDF but not in the reciprocal-space pole figures and fiber plots. We also note from Fig. 8 that the scatter of the data points is much greater in the reciprocal-space fiber plots than the real-space fiber plots. We are uncertain as to the origin of this effect, but for the real-space plots it means that the variation of FWHM values is larger than any variation due to the noise in the data.

The interatomic vectors from atom i to atom j are represented in terms of components using a basis of the crystallographic lattice vectors and assuming that the origin is placed on atom i. Furthermore, rij is the distance between atom i and atom j, and is the fitted peak position.
Although, in the case of the fiber texture, pole figures and fiber plots yield a straightforward and rather precise picture of the texture, in general the texture of a sample cannot be comprehensively described by the two angles of a pole figure. The more complete texture representation is the ODF, D(Ω), which describes the crystallite orientation by the three Euler angles in a density probability function (Bunge, 1982 ). The ODF can be evaluated from a series of pole figures, where the number needed depends on the symmetry of the texture and of the crystal (Bunge, 1982 ). However, in general, the ODF may be reconstructed directly by modeling the 3D structure function S(Q) or txPDF G(r) (Gong & Billinge, 2018 ). If the structure function of the reference crystallite S′(Q) [equation (6) ] is known, as is often the case, we can rotate S′(Q) at different orientations of Q and add the contributions weighted by an initial assumption of the ODF to build the polycrystalline structure function Sp(Q) [equation (5) ]. Then we can fit Sp(Q) to the measured S(Q) by modeling the ODF in a regression loop. Equivalently, the ODF can be retrieved by a similar modeling of the txPDF G(r) [equation (7) ] (Gong & Billinge, 2018 ).
Here we discuss extracting meaningful structural information from PDFs that were measured from textured samples. This is relevant for the case where the experimenter is not trying to characterize the sample texture per se but is interested in the local structure of a textured sample. In favorable circumstances, texture-related intensity changes in Bragg peaks can be modeled in a Rietveld refinement (Gilmore et al., 2019 ). This is less well developed in real-space refinements, though for weak textures, a model has been proposed (Cervellino & Frison, 2020 ). Here we explore whether sufficiently texture-free PDFs, which can then be refined in existing PDF modeling programs such as PDFgui (Farrow et al., 2007 ), can be obtained by averaging data collected at different sample angles. As a test, we will use the dataset from the fiber-textured Pt thin film as an example.
In theory, measuring the diffraction pattern by sampling every orientation of the sample with equal statistics will result in a spherically homogeneous diffraction pattern that can be processed as an ideal powder pattern. Using a 2D detector and rotating 180° about two mutually perpendicular axes perpendicular to the beam can accomplish this for any crystallographic and texture symmetry, if correct counting statistics are ensured. Correct counting statistics will depend on flux and exposure-time weighting, but also on any geometrical and absorption effects that result in changes in illuminated sample volume. These can be readily controlled for simple sample shapes (spherical, cylindrical, planar/film, etc.), as we describe below. In many cases, such as the case of the fiber-textured sample, the averaging may be accomplished by rotating about a single axis perpendicular to the beam, provided that the fiber axis doesn't lie along the rotation axis. For experimental setups where this is possible, and where data rates are sufficiently high, it probably represents the best approach. In our case, the fiber texture resulted from oriented growth of the polycrystalline film on the substrate. In this case, the illuminated volume is well described by the area of the beam footprint on the sample, which is given by the beam width, w, times , where h is the beam height and θ is the angle the substrate plane normal makes with the incident beam. Since w and h don't vary with incident angle, we can determine that the measured intensities should be multiplied by (Egami & Billinge, 2012 ), where ϕ = π/2 − θ is the grazing angle the incident beam makes with the substrate. For even higher accuracy, we can use the same normalization/scaling approach that is applied to the diffraction images before reconstructing to the 3D scattering volume, as discussed in the experimental section.
Fig. 2 (e) shows a fit of an untextured model to the PDF that was obtained by a properly weighted average of the PDFs from all sample angles collected in our dataset. Indeed, the fit is superior to the fits at any fixed sample angle, as evident from the difference curve. Table 3 shows the refined structural parameters and the goodness of fit parameter, Rw, of a few single-angle PDF refinements and the averaged dataset.
Refinement parameters: a is the lattice parameter, Uiso is the isotropic atomic displacement parameter, δ2 is the coherent thermal-motion parameter and Rw is the goodness of the fit.
Indeed, the best fit of the untextured model to the data is obtained for averaged data (Rw = 13.5%) compared with any single-fixed-angle dataset. The best agreement between the powder average model and a single-angle dataset is achieved for ϕ = 11° with Rw = 18.1%. For this powder texture the agreement gets better as the incident angle gets shallower, though at small incident angles (below ϕ = 11°) the measured PDFs seem to become less reliable. The refined parameters of the fit to the ϕ = 11° are also closer to those obtained for the averaged data than for the other angles. A plot of the best-fit Rw versus ϕ is shown in Fig. S5, showing this behavior in a more quantitative fashion. Based on this analysis, when looking at data from a textured thin-film sample, the best strategy for obtaining PDFs that represent a texture-less structure and are suitable for conventional quantitative structural modeling in real space is to rotate the sample ±89° about an axis perpendicular to the beam (from a starting position with the film perpendicular to the beam) and to average the data as described in this article. If this is not possible or proves inconvenient, for similarly textured films (i.e. fiber textured perpendicular to the film plane), taking a single dataset at an incident angle of ∼10° grazing angle to the film will give a reasonably untextured signal.
Beyond summing raw images from different angles, it is also possible to obtain an 1D powder pattern and PDF resembling that of an untextured sample by integrating spherical shells in the reconstructed txPDF. In theory, independent of the kind, extent and orientation of the texture, this integration should resemble the precise isotropic powder average and can be processed as such. Correspondingly, a similar integration of the reconstructed scattering volume can be analyzed as an isotropic powder pattern. We were not able to test this in the current case because our test data were not collected on a fine-enough grid of angles to avoid interpolation errors that introduced significant aberrations. We have not investigated the experimental conditions to obtain such an isotropic or de-textured PDF, but a dataset with 0.1° step size and a total tilt range of 90° along two perpendicular axes, i.e. 180°, is sufficient for high-quality reconstructions of reciprocal space in single-crystal diffuse-scattering measurements, and would undoubtedly work in this context too. This would add up to 1800 diffraction images, which can be acquired in ∼1–2 h at a synchrotron, assuming a few seconds of acquisition time per diffraction image.
Finally, the txPDF can also be applied to study other anisotropic structural properties such as strain and stress by analyzing the txPDF along different directions in a small angular range. A txPDF of an untextured but strained or stressed sample would show peaks that appear as concentric spherical shells that are non-uniform, i.e. they exhibit varying peak shapes and radii at different angular directions. A dataset to study stress or strain requires a measurement over a large tilt range, since symmetrization procedures, which could recover void regions in the reconstructed scattering volume, result in a loss of strain and stress information.
The software used to carry out the work in this article has been turned into a Python package and is being released under an open-source license. The package is called FouriGUI and is available through the DiffPy website (https://diffpy.org). It is available on the Python package index and on Anaconda through the conda-forge channel. diffpy/fourigui.
FouriGUI loads a 3D total scattering volume, for example, obtained from a rotation image set, using a software package such as Xcavate (Estermann & Steurer, 1998 ), XDS (Kabsch, 2010 ) or meerkat (Simonov, 2019 ), and performs the fast Fourier transform to the txPDF with optional cutoff frequencies. It also incorporates visualization capabilities for viewing the data in real and reciprocal space. It always displays one slice perpendicular to one of the three axes of either the scattering volume or the txPDF obtained with or without cutoff frequencies and allows easy scrolling through the full volume to visualize the intensity distribution. Fig. S6 provides further insight about the utilization of FouriGUI.
Here we have presented a practical implementation of the 3D PDF method of textured polycrystalline samples, txPDF. We demonstrated the procedure for measuring and analyzing data to obtain the txPDF using a fiber-textured Pt thin-film sample. Firstly, 2D diffraction images of the Pt thin film measured at different tilt angles were reconstructed to a scattering volume in 3D reciprocal space. The scattering volume was then processed to the 3D total scattering structure function and propagated through the 3D Fourier transform to yield the txPDF in real space. Furthermore, we presented a definition and demonstration of real-space pole figures. We also presented FouriGUI, a Python package for carrying out the steps in the procedure.
The txPDF method may be used to study texture in highly nanocrystalline samples where Bragg reflections are broad and overlapped preventing the study of texture directly in reciprocal space. Our findings show a strong fiber texture of approximately Gaussian distribution of 〈111〉 plane vectors that is centered on the Pt thin-film sample's plane normal. The approach we have presented may also be used to obtain approximately isotropic 1D PDFs from textured samples, which will be useful when the structure of a sample is sought, rather than a measure of its texture, but the experimental data are textured. A good isotropic PDF approximation was obtained from the weighted average of the diffraction images, yielding a reasonable PDF refinement, Rw = 13.5%, from the averaged PDF compared with the single-tilt-angle PDFs with Rw values ranging from 18.1 to 63.6%. We also showed that an approximately ideal 1D PDF could be obtained from a not-quite grazing incidence (10° incident angle) single measurement in the case of a thin film with a fiber texture.
The txPDF is very promising to study nanocrystalline thin films, as they are likely to be textured and enable a straightforward measurement of the tilt series. However, the txPDF can be applied in general to materials of any geometry. Furthermore, the methodology of the txPDF can be expanded to study nanoscale materials with different structural anisotropies, such as anisotropic strains.

en | N/A | N/A | EDMOND, Okla. (KFOR) – A mother is calling for policy changes when it comes to police encountering a mental health crisis after she said her son was showing several signs of mental distress in the days leading up to a shooting at his Edmond home.
Eva Scott said her son, Carrington Scott, had been in the grips of a mental breakdown in the days leading up to a terrifying scene at his home near 2nd and Sooner.
On Wednesday, Carrington was subdued by Edmond Police with a shot to the leg, after police said he ran towards them with a long gun and pistol, while wearing a bullet proof vest. He had allegedly been holed up inside his home, firing a flurry of bullets from his front window.
The whole thing unfolded after a call from Carrington’s alleged co-worker.
“I went to go check on the door. All of a sudden he just starts shooting,” he’s heard saying on the 911 call.
Officers said that man ran to the nearby Aspen Coffee Shop for help. Officers said as they raced towards the home, Carrington started shooting again.
“I need the district attorney to know that the person they have down there in the county jail is not the person they portrayed,” said Eva Scott.

Exactly one week before, Carrington called police for help because he thought he was under surveillance. His family said he wanted officers there to check his home for devices.
“I’ve recently been the victim of, I hate to say it, bugs in my house,” said Carrington during a call to Edmond Police.
When officers arrived to his home, they found tape scattered on his walls.
“He had tape all over the wall because ‘people,’ because ‘somebody’, ‘they’, were after him,” said his mother.
Eva said she wanted police to remove guns from his home. Carrington can be seen on Edmond body cam footage putting his guns in the back of his car with police present.
Edmond Police Department officials said the officer that responded to Carrington’s home was Crisis Intervention Trained (CIT). The department said that’s something that is not required for law enforcement agencies.
Carrington is now at the Oklahoma County Detention Center facing a numberHis family said they just want him to get help.
“I need help. I’m begging them again for help,” said Eva.
Carrington’s family said he’s a University of Oklahoma graduate with two Master’s degrees. Days before the shooting, they said he failed a big test.
“He missed it by one point and that really messed with him,” said Carrington’s aunt, Lisa Scott.
“I failed my test, basically to be a therapist, two days ago,” Carrington can be heard saying on Edmond body cam footage.
“I just at to do with somebody when they’re going through one of those episodes,” said Lewis. |

What I think is missing is all the old guys intros. Some of the best things written on Ktc are in those old guys intros. 30yraddict, skoal monster, ready....and on.
Early in my quit, these guys got me through it. Maybe that stuff is here and I haven't looked hard enough. I don't need these things anymore, but the question was asked.
There's no such thing as returning to nicotine from the frustration of the site. The only reason anybody returns to nicotine itick with a quit one day at a time. The site is also not the glue that holds your quit together. The site is the vessel that holds the glue, but the actual quit is held together by the relationships you build with those both in your group and outside of it. Hopefully you have already discovered this, but if not, make friends and develop accountability as you dig a deep quit hole.
This ^^^ right here... is genius.
Well said Broc.
Dugmalus, what are you looking for that you are having trouble finding?
Were you on the other site before this, or are you just getting into KTC now. If so, 70 days on your own is badass.
If you were here before, the categories are set up pretty much the same way, with some different formatting.
If you ask some questions about what you are looking for someone will be sure to help you find the answers.
If you are really having a problem, send me a PM and I will try to help out. |
en | N/A | N/A | Folor discussed “Allyship: Becoming a Champion of Inclusion” as part of the Worcester State University Diversity Lecture Series on September 19 in Worcester State University’s Blue Lounge.
During his final season as an NCAA All-American and team wrestling captain at the University of Maryland, Taylor. Like many college students, he had seen close friends struggle with the coming out process, often inhibited by the fear they had about disclosing their sexual orientation.
To show his solidarity as a straight ally, he wore an LGBT rights sticker on his wrestling headgear. That single act turned a lot of heads. Spectators, opponents, coaches and others wondered if Hudson was making a statement about his own sexuality.
He encountered criticism from his peers, but received positive attention from the media. Following this media coverage, Hudson received ts, expressing thanks and sharing their own experiences of homophobia and transphobia in sports.
Hudson went on to form Athlete Ally, a nonprofit sports organization that calls on athletes, coaches, school administrators, parents and fans to champion respect and inclusion at every level of athletics.
“If there’s something we can do to improve sports, teams and lives, we should do it,” says Taylor.
Taylor’s talk was the first in a four part Diversity Lecture Series,, Office of Residence Life and Housing, Counseling Office, Disability Services,, Latin Heritage Committee, Psychology Department, Third World Alliance, Active Minds, and Student Events Committee.

en | N/A | N/A | “We took him (Buttner) for the future and to succeed Patrice Evra,” the United boss told Omroep Gelderland on Sunday.
“hat’s a big change. So it helps if someone like Robin (van Persie) has extensive experience in England. Of course they talk a lot with each other, that’s understandable.”
A loan exit for Buttner would leave United short of left-back options, with Brazilian Fabio’s future at the club still unclear during his loan spell at QPR and youngster Zeki Fryers having controversially joined Tottenham last week for three million pounds following a four-month stint at Standard Liege after leaving the Red Devils.
England youth international Tyler Blackett is a potential option for Ferguson to replace Buttner should he leave the club on a temporary basis, with the 18-year-old having travelled on United’s pre-season tour to South Africa in July, while the club remain linked to the in-form Leighton Baines.
Goal.com exclusively revealed in June that United were preparing a move for the Everton man, but were unwilling to spend more than. |
en | N/A | N/A | amon rolls (I need to get that recipe from my mom!) …
… and my great-grandmother’s famous noodles. Both did not disappoint.
We got some great gifts from my mom, including an iPad (we’re finally in the 21st century!!) and …
… adorable baby books, filled with pictures of me and Brandon growing up. Now we can share our memories with Addie!
While in Sarasota, we also got to spend some quality time with Brandon’s brother and his family.
We spent Christmas Eve morning at their house, enjoying a delicious brunch and opening gifts.
My SIL, Christi, made a cinnamon roll cake (top left in the picture) that was absolutely ah-mazing. She was kind enough to share the recipe, so you better believe I’ll be making it again soon!
She also made a tasty egg and sausage casserole and mini cherry cheesecakes. Yum!
After our meal, we opened gifts.
I love that these girls were more excited about a pink Chinese umbrella than any fancy technology toys. My kind of ladies.
My favorite gift of the day:
That would be a bathing suit for little Addie.
On Christmas Day, Brandon and I rented a car and headed to Marco Island.
As I already mentioned, Brandon and I spent the holidays last year at Marco Island. You can see those posts here and here.
(Old picture … as I’m sure you can tell from the much smaller waistline!)
We love Marco Island. We would basically wake up early every morning, work out, and then proceed to sit by the pool for the entire day and do nothing.
Every day around 4 or so, we would manage to get our lazy behinds up to our room, shower, and head to dinner.
We’d be back in the room in time for Jeopardy (that would be 7:30), and we’d be asleep by 9:00.
We’re real party animals.
Since you know how much I love my food, let’s do a quick recap on some of our vacation eats!
Night #1: Fish Tacos at one of the Marriott’s restaurants.
Personally, I wasn’t a fan of the corn tortillas (I prefer flour). But I was a fan of the huge fish portions and the side of guacamole. Yum!
Night #2: Pizza Caprese at Davinci’s.
This pizza reminded me of some of the pizza we had in Italy this summer. It was so good!
Night #3: Sushi at Sushi-Thai Too in Naples.
Loved this sushi restaurant.!
Night #4: Flatbreads at Philly Grille.
Brandon chose the bacon macaroni & cheese flatbread …
… while I chose the “Uptown” flatbread, which had Brie cheese, onion jam, thinly sliced Granny Smith apples, and roasted garlic.
Both were heavenly. I only wish that we had discovered this restaurant sooner, so that I could have tried more of their tasty flatbreads and sandwiches!
Night #5: Fish and Chips at The Bar & Bistro at Marek’s.
I think this was the best fish and chips I’ve ever had. The fish was piping hot and flavorful, and the batter was light and crispy. I enjoyed every bite!
All in all, it was a very successful vacation.
Not only did Brandon and I have a great week ….
… but I think Addie had plenty of fun, too.
At least, I know she enjoyed the eats.
Any fun gifts you got for Christmas?
Aw! It looks and sounds like you and Brandon had one fantastic holiday vacation. We were sooo close!!! One of these times that you come down we should plan to meet up
Wishing you, Brandon, and Addie a happy and healthy new year!
I’d like the cinnamon roll cake recipe please. The food all looked yummy! Looks like a fun trip. Love, Mom
Looks like a great holiday! That puppy is so cute
And wow your meals look amazing. Especially the flatbread with onion jam. Yum!
I LOVE Naples! My grandpa has a place in a condo down there and he lets his family vacation in it whenever, so I’ve been there quite a few times over the years. By far my favorite place I’ve ever been to in the U.S. It’s just so beautiful. I’ll have to check out that sushi place next time I’m there.
Looks like a great time! A Florida Christmas is my kind of Christmas, too.
Thanks for my imaginary trip to Marco Island…I loved it….I’m refreshed and ready to go back to work now!
You guys look like you had a great time. And now I’m seriously craving fish and chips! With a side of sushi.
That little belly is starting to poke out now
you look adorable!! Happy New Year! 2013 is the year we become Mommys… So I’m pretty sure it’s gonna be the best yet!

It looks like y’all had a blast!!! All of the food looks amazing, but those flatbreads are calling my name! We went to Huntsville on Sunday to spend the night with my cousins (I think there were about 16 of us all together) and had a great time. We went back to Nashville for NYE and spent that with my brother and his gf. It was fun being “out” to ring in the New Year! My favorite Christmas present was my Ninja blender from Daniel!

en | N/A | N/A | t another video game movie has been announced to be on the way to the big screen, this time it’s the hit sci-fi/horror-action game, Dead Space. The game is set to be adapted for film by Eagle Eye and Disturbia director, D.J. Caruso. He and Electronic Arts are looking at prospective writers and once they have one, they’ll wait on the “sign off” from EA about the creative direction before they start to auction it to the various studios.
Since it’s early on in the development stages, there’s no word how closely the Dead Space film will follows the game’s plot, but it certainly sounds very cinematic and thus they shouldn’t need to change all that much (with a few tweaks here and there aside).
Dead Space is the fifth game from EA that is on the road to being turned into a movie: They already have Dante’s Inferno, Army of Two, The Sims and Mass Effect. The Dead Space game was released last year, and due to its success, a second and third game are on their way.
The second issue is of it being Caruso who’s set to direct: He’s not the absolute worst director in the world, but his overly flashy and showy style (see Disturbia and Eagle Eye – although admittedly I enjoyed the latter) doesn’t bode well for a Dead Space movie.
As I always am with video game movies, I’m willing to give Dead Space a fair shot. It certainly has a lot of elements within the game that have a lot of potential to make a really cool feature film. But the history of video games movies makes me dubious they’ll be able to manage it this time around. Here’s hoping.
Do you think Dead Space would make a good movie? And do you think D.J. Caruso is a good fit to adapt it?
