Reconcile Tax Transactions
This article applies to:Avalara AvaTax for NetSuite
Reconcile up to 5,000 tax transactions at a time with this three-step process.
- In NetSuite, create a batch of transactions to reconcile
- View the transaction data in NetSuite and compare it to the data from the Admin Console
- Correct any discrepancies between the transactions in NetSuite and AvaTax
In NetSuite, the Custom Record saves the transaction details like the transaction ID, calculated sales tax, total taxable amount, total amount, etc. The Custom Record is useful during reconciliation, especially when a transaction is deleted.
For help troubleshooting reconciliation issues, see Troubleshoot Reconciliation Discrepancies.
Create a batch of transactions to reconcile
- In NetSuite, go to Avalara > Reconciliation > Create Batch.
- On the Create Reconciliation Batch page, use the fields to narrow down the transactions you'd like to include in the batch.
- Choose a Batch Name, and then click Submit.
View and reconcile transaction data
- In NetSuite, go to Avalara > Reconciliation > View Results.
- On the Reconciliation Batches page, next to the batch that you created, click View Details.
- On the Reconciliation Results page, use the Sublist Criteria dropdown to view specific groups of transactions:
- Only AvaTax: These transactions are only in the Admin Console and not in NetSuite or the Custom Record. The transaction may have been deleted from NetSuite. If the transaction in the Admin Console is valid, the best practice is to void it in the Admin Console. Then, recreate the transaction in NetSuite and post it to the Admin Console. That way, the transaction appears in AvaTax, NetSuite, and the Custom Record as it should be.
- Only NetSuite: These transactions are only in NetSuite and not in the Admin Console or the Custom Record. If this happens, open these transactions in NetSuite, calculate sales tax using AvaTax for NetSuite, and then save them.
- Only Custom Record: These transactions are only in the Custom Record and not in NetSuite or the Admin Console. This rarely happens.
- AvaTax and NetSuite: These transactions are in the Admin Console and NetSuite but not the Custom Record. This might happen if you install a new NetSuite bundle, but it doesn't affect how AvaTax for NetSuite works, so you can safely ignore this field.
- AvaTax and Custom Record: These transactions are in the Admin Console and the Custom Record, but they're not NetSuite. This rarely happens.
- NetSuite and Custom Record: These transactions are in NetSuite and the Custom Record, but they're not the Admin Console. This might happen if a transaction on the Admin Console is deleted.
- AvaTax, NetSuite, and Custom Record: These transactions are in all three places just as they should be, so you don't need to do anything with them.
- Reconciled: These transactions are already reconciled, so you can safely ignore this field.
- Once you've made a selection from the SUBLIST CRITERIA dropdown, in the Results pane, click the Document Code to view the transaction of your choice.
- Once the total amounts in the Reconciliation Results pane are the same for AvaTax and NetSuite, go to the Liability Worksheet and approve and file your taxes.

Find your GRATITUDE: a free guided meditation
I love to meditate to help clear my mind and get present, and I can vouch that it really does make you feel happier overall the more regularly you do it.
Gratitude is something I also use frequently as a way to get out of the ICK and negativity and remember all the goodness that I have in my life.
The goodness is ALWAYS there, we just sometimes forget to look for it!
So I married two favorite things together and recorded a guided meditation around finding gratitude....
The meditation will lead you through some breathing and prompts to help you relax and get you thinking about all that you have, right here and now, within you and around you, to be truly grateful for.
(You'll also hear some birdies from my backyard in the background :)
It's a quick one for busy days to help ground and center you whenever you need it- only 10 minutes!
Finding a little bit of thankfulness each day can help shift your perspective of your life and the world around you! It's really quite powerful, especially the more and more you practice it.

Guardiola tells Man City hierarchy: Make the Etihad noisier!
Pep Guardiola has told his Manchester City employers to come up with a way of improving the atmosphere at the Etihad Stadium and to stop fans leaving early, Goal has learned.
Guardiola has publicly stated that he is "so, so glad" about the club's fans, and specifically how they supported the team on the back of Champions League elimination and three consecutive Premier League games without a win.
Resurgent Rashford rides to the rescue
Editors' Picks
- Fati, Sancho and the teenage stars to watch in this season's Champions League
- Ten goals in eight games! Barcelona will regret 'bad' treatment of incredible Alcacer
- Guardiola gets it all wrong as Man City slump at Norwich - Tactical lessons from the Premier League weekend
- Aubameyang deserves better! David Luiz & Sokratis calamitous as Arsenal capitulate at Watford
But he has also said he "misses the pressure" of working in Spain and Germany, where fans are more demanding of results, and he insists a pressurised atmosphere would help instil a winning mentality in his squad.
Goal has learned that Guardiola, privately, wants a noisier and more committed crowd at the Etihad, and that he has spoken to City CEO Ferrano Soriano about coming up with solutions.
Earlier this month, fans' groups and the club agreed on a new initiative whereby the City captain will choose to attack the south stand - where a singing section has been set up - in the second half of matches, should he win the pre-match coin toss.
And it is understood that further talks between the club and supporters' groups are scheduled to take place in the coming months in a bid to improve the atmosphere, and to stop fans leaving before the final whistle.
Arsenal win race to sign Kolasinac
City are continuously in consultation with fans about best practice on match days, but Guardiola's personal desire for a noisier crowd has ensured the club will prioritise the atmosphere within the stadium ahead of the start of next season.
Guardiola mentioned the fans on several occasions following City's 3-0 victory at Southampton on Saturday.
Asked about the importance of having Vincent Kompany available for next Sunday's FA Cup semi-final at Wembley, the Catalan closed his short answer by saying: "Hopefully our supporters can travel to London as much as possible and support us. Away this season our supporters are fantastic, all season."
And when discussing the upcoming games against Arsenal and Manchester United, he again brought up the atmosphere at the Etihad.
"Here I miss a little bit the pressure," he said. "Especially in Spain and in Germany, the pressure is higher to the players, to the managers, to everybody. Here it is calm. For example the fans are always perfect, I love that, and you know the club is amazing, the club supports everybody.
"[But] sometimes when you realise you cannot lose you feel the pressure, because you will be so criticised. To help the players step forward you have to create something to make them believe they [must not] lose, and we need time to create something to put in the heads and the hearts of the players that if you want to become a stronger club and stronger team that we cannot drop points at home."
Who wants to avoid who in the Champions League semi-final
He added: "We were out of the Champions League in Monaco, we played three tough games against Liverpool, Arsenal and Chelsea, and we didn't win one game, and our game against Hull City our supporters [claps] helped us and supported us.
"And that in Italy, in Spain, doesn't happen, that's why I'm so, so glad for the fans we have, because for the first time in my life I have experienced that."
Jurgen Klopp aired similar gripes with the Liverpool crowd 18 months ago when thousands of fans left Anfield after Scott Dann scored what proved to be an 82nd minute winner for Crystal Palace.
The German said he was "disappointed" and felt "pretty alone" in the stadium but, when asked about the situation this week, he insisted things have changed for the better.
"A few fans closed the game a little bit early, that's not how I am. It changed a lot since then," he told a press conference.
"I think the team earned more trust, more faith, more belief. People think that we can change a game in the last few minutes.
"I feel really good with people at the moment, how we act as a Liverpool family, and that's really cool. The atmosphere is good.
"We have to deliver, after an emotional start from the stands, it's our job to deliver excitement and that's what we try to do. It feels like it could be a mistake to leave early and that's what I want."

Hyams Foundation, Haymarket People's Fund, and Episcopal
City Mission
grantee convening (November 21, 2015)
Connected to the Foundation's values and beliefs is our desire to work in close partnership with grantees while also being cognizant of the power dynamics that are a typical part of any funder and grantee relationship. We attempt to be very accessible to both applicants and grantees, answering questions and providing information and advice as requested. Hyams staff also plays a Convening and Networking role as a part of the Foundation's special grantmaking initiatives and in order to draw attention to a particular issue or when asked to play this role by others.
For many years, the Foundation also has joined with other funders to address critical priorities in the community. This collaboration is essential as most social issues require far more attention and resources than any one funder can provide. At times these activities have involved only private funders as with the more recently established Catalyst Fund while others like the Home Funders Collaborative have engaged both the private and public funding worlds.
A key part of strong grantee relationships has been the Foundation's tendency to fund many organizations over long periods of time. Whether this is on a year-to-year basis or as a part of specific multi-year funding initiatives, we recognize that social change takes time and that nonprofit organizations require support as they develop new capacities or grapple with internal or external challenges.

Drexel North Theatre
4250 North High Street,
8 people favorited this theater
The Drexel North Theatre was an 800 seat single screen theatre. It opened in 1941 as the Beechwold Theatre, was remodeled to become the Camelot North Theatre in 1972, and became the Drexel North Theatre in 1986. It closed in the spring of 1995 after 54 years of movies.
During its final years it was operating without a lease. Basically, the people who owned the property decided they wanted to sell the building, and the Drexel could not afford to buy it. Until the owners could find a buyer, the Drexel was permitted to lease the building on a month-to-month basis. Very few developers were interested in the property, and the theatre's miserable condition was enough to frighten most of them.
However, Revco Drugstores eventually purchased the building at an estimated price of $250,000. Upon acquiring the property, Revco quickly terminated the Drexel North's monthly lease and instructed the theatre to close.

Wow, this was a nice little theater when I visited in 1996 – sorry to hear it's defunct.

Okay, retract my earlier comment – I had the Drexel North of Columbus confused with the Drexel of Bexley – so I posted the photo link there as well. Apologies!
I really miss this one. My wife and I and our friends were frequent attendees in the late 1980s-early 1990s.
They had great film festivals, marathons, and midnight movies. They showed indies, art films, documentaries, foreign films, and quite a bit of cult fare. We saw pictures like "Akira,†"Brazil,†"Frankenhooker,†"Vampire Hunter D,†"Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer,†and "Robotjox†at the old Drexel North.
Outside wasn't much but the inside was fun. The lobby had a weird futuristic shape and a bizarre color scheme and was sometimes decorated with props from past sci-fi marathons. It had a kitschy retro-future feel.
They usually had a drawing before the show where patrons could win promotional items like t-shirts, posters, and soundtrack CDs or free passes to upcoming shows.
Screenings were preceded by a mock 1950s educational film called "A Trip to the Movies.â€
The building is now (2009) home to a fitness center.
This theater now has its own Facebook group: Remembering the Drexel North / Camelot North / Beechwold Theater.
I would really love to find some pre-1970 interior photos of the Beechwold Theater's foyer and lobby. (I'm not so sure the interior photos linked to above are of the same theater.) I've been searching for years without any luck. I'm wondering if Columbus area theater historian Phil Sheridan might have found some though- he was working on a 4th volume of his book series Those Wonderful Old Downtown Theaters which was to focus more on neighborhood theaters, including the Beechwold. But sadly, Mr. Sheridan's health declined and he passed away a few years ago before finishing it.
The text accompanying the photos at Columbus Metropolitan Library (Ron Newman's comment of May 8, 2005) says that the Beechwold Theatre was designed by the F&Y Building Service.
While the exterior of the theater was predominantly Streamline Moderne, and even displayed some early Midcentury Modern elements, the photos of the interior show that the auditorium was more ornate than the facade. There was still a lot of Art Deco in that interior design, especially in the wall sconces and the decorations above them.
The description of this theater is not true at all. It was not in bad shape when it closed.
Phil Sheridan is my father. I retain his entire archive of theatre history and photographs. I also have a stock of all three of his books available for sale. His fourth book was completed and ready for publication, unfortunately the funds were not available to proceed with publication.
Jim, it would be a shame if the completed 4th volume remained unseen. Have you considered applying for a grant to get it published from the Ohio History Center (www.ohiohistory.org), or donating the materials to Vintage Columbus () or the Columbus Landmarks Foundation (columbuslandmarks.org)? Arcadia Publishing might be interested in the rights to the whole series. Alternatively, I could personally assist you in scanning it to PDF format if you would consider releasing it as an e-book.
^^ Vintage Columbus is primarily Facebook-based and may be reached at VintageColumbus (at) yahoo (dot) com.
Jeff Frank was the theater owner.

Published at Tuesday, February 26th, 2019 - 11:53:45 AM. Cycling. By Genivee Lecomte.
Over the years you can build up a pretty decent array of quality kit, enough to pass the preliminary peer exams at least, but that leaves you praying that nothing breaks and holds you back on the road to cycling's upper classes. Even then, winter is always coming and leaves you with the age old dilemma – do you buy a winter bike, ride your best through the bleakest months, or just pack it up and accept your fate until spring?
In January of 2018. with the miles from his commute adding up, Legarreta began searching for a new car that he could drive to the train station. That's when a work buddy suggested he buy a bike instead. Legarreta wavered at first, but eventually gave in and decided to ride the train partway and bike the rest. Along the way, he developed a love of mountain biking.

Song: Candy's RoomAlbum: Darkness on the Edge of Town Year: 1978
Okay, men. Can you just leave Candy alone for a hot second? Number one, she presumably still lives with her parents (this isn't called "Candy's Rental Apartment" or "Candy's Duplex" after all) so it is not appropriate at all for you to be giving her diamonds and/or toys. Number two, it sounds like she's deeply depressed and engaging in self-destructive behaviours, or at the very least dabbling in some teenage poetry, so I think it's best for everyone if we just give her some space to figure herself out.
That being said, if Candy the person is half as hot as this track, I can see what all the fuss is about. It's got adrenaline. It's got fun keyboard riffs. It's giddy and sweet and melancholy AND prominently features several lines about driving in the dark, because as we all know that's how Bruce expresses almost every emotion. (Or at least the big three: Love. Angst. Indigestion.) Do you think at this point, Bruce Springsteen has spent as much time singing about being on the highway as he has literally spent in a car on the highway? Researchers, please forget about saving the ozone or whatever and get on this.
Rating: 9 strangers from the city out of 10.
This makes me feel: like I want to know more about Candy. What pictures of heroes are on her wall, exactly? Are they Teen Beat posters, or like, presidential portraits?
Fun Bruce fact: Bruce has never had a job besides being a musician. I think it's pretty obvious though that his real dream is to be a highway repairman. Maybe one day, B. Hang in there, buddy.

Mumps, a viral disease, made an alarming reappearance in the U.S. in 2006, and experts agree that it will take some time before the disease can be completely eradicated.
Mumps is marked by swelling of the salivary glands, which can lead in turn to fever, or even deafness, depending on the severity of the viral infection.
Despite sincere efforts to eliminate the disease, the cases of mumps reached approximately 6,600 in the U.S. alone in 2006, with reasons still unknown. Great Britain too reported about 70,000 cases between the years 2004 and 2006. The latter, as Reuters.com reports, is due to the lack of the second dose of vaccination.
The cases reported in the U.S have been mainly concentrated in the eight midwestern states as well as on college campuses.
"Although there was no single explanation for the outbreak," said Gustavo Dayan and colleagues of the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), "multiple factors may have contributed, including waning immunity, high population density and contact rates in colleges, and incomplete vaccine-induced immunity to wild virus." Dayan also advocated for a more effective mumps vaccine or changes in vaccine policy to avert future outbreaks.
The U.S. has set a goal to eliminate the disease by 2010, which is considered to be achieved when there are no new "home-grown" cases within a 12-month period. However, in present scenario, almost half of the nations across the globe do not vaccinate against the virus. Jane Seward, Deputy Director of the CDC's viral diseases division, for one, is not convinced, "Until the globe gets rid of their disease, we're at risk for importation and will continue to have outbreaks."

The ebb and the flow, a photo by Nick Barkworth on Flickr.
Living close to the beach for a while I did just that......took it for granted. In recent years I started shooting the sunsets, the coming and going of the tide and the people who were attracted to the beach. A scene which never stays the same from one day to the next and a constant source of inspiration.
That said the it is not without its difficulty in shooting. The sunshine reflected off the sand can be problematic.
In this shot I wanted to capture the sun and its reflection on the sand and water. Adding a couple of layers to calm down its glare and alter the tone of the sky I achieved this almost 'winter sun' feel.

Pop Quiz- Can anyone tell Amir's first movie? It's Holi right? WRONG!! Before Holi, Amir Khan acted in a movie which was directed by Indrajeet Singh Bansal, a student of Film and Television Institute of India (FTII) at that time.
India FM reported:
It's been 19 years that Aamir Khan has been a part of the film industry (this is excluding his childhood performances). He made his debut in with Ketan Mehta's Holi and his first film as a lead actor was Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak. But now we found out that Aamir had actually done a film even before he acted in Holi. The superstar of today got his first break when the then FTII student Indrajeet Singh Bansal was shooting his diploma film. Indrajeet met Aamir in a Theatre workshop and took him in his film.
In the video, Aamir Khan is seen as a college student and he also dances on the track Kehdu Tumhe from the film Deewar with his onscreen girlfriend in the typical Bollywood style. It is also said that Ketan Mehta signed Aamir for Holi after he saw the clips of this film. The director of the film, Indrajeet Singh says that Aamir was always very innovative and grasped things quickly.
This movie remained in the library of FTII for about twenty years.Amir has never been to FTII. As a lead actor, Amir's first movie was Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak which was a huge success and propelled his career. Last year, his two movies, Fanaa, and Rang De Basanti did great business at the box office.

Julie has always had her hands in something creative. Born and raised in Colorado, it was face painting and playing with photoshop, which quickly turned into full love for art and creation. At CSU, where Julie received her BFA in Graphic Design, she quickly broadened her horizons with painting, sculpture, fiber and drawings classes. She couldn't get enough. With each new medium she touched, a new voice seemed to come out of the wood work.
Julie finds that art is her way of communicating her view of the world and understanding its complexities. The past few years have been wonderful for Julie, working as a full time artist. In January of 2013 she had her first solo show at the Oz Gallery in Thornton, Colorado. She was also a featured artist on A&E's network FYI TV show, Tiny House Nation, Episode 5, where she created a heartwarming sign for a couple who had lost their house in a wild fire. She looks forward to what exciting experience comes next!
Her life has had its own ups and downs, but for each hill and valley there is something to learn. In April of 1999, she was a junior at Columbine High School and lived through the terrible shootings that took place that day. Since then, she has suffered from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and has found herself able to embrace the trauma, and help it lead her to a more purposeful and meaningful life.

Priya arangan adiyar,
"Why did you send your child here?" asked the Principal to a riveted gathering of parents. It was the Parents teachers meet at Acharyah and the little ones were comfortable sandwiched between the parents and rotating their round eyes with curiosity. It was a day their academic skill as well as notorious feats would be formally communicated to the parents. It was the day the parents would know what has become of their little chap who joined 'Acharyah'.
Almost in a chorus, as though previously rehearsed, the parents answered :
"so that they know our tradition"
"so that they learn what spirituality is"
"So that they know what morals are"
One parent replied "I am the daughter-in-law of a family of Archakas but I have no idea of what Sampradayam is. By making my child a student of Acharyah I expect him as well as my own self to know and understand Sampradaya".
Seated in the dice were Ammangar, Headmistress and Smt Padmasree Tadepalli. Addressing the parents ammangar explained that Acharyah was born out of the need to prepare children as LEADERS – Morally, Academically and Spiritually'. Around these three goals, every step of Acharyah would proceed. Quoting a lot of examples to show how moral stories taught at other institutions send wrong messages, she quoted a popular story. A mongoose drops its baby in the neighborhood of a family and dies. The family consists of husband, wife and their baby. Seeing the little mongoose, the family adopts it and raises it as one among them. The little mongoose grows very close to the baby and loves it. It never leaves the baby alone. One day, when the parents were out of the house, a snake enters the house and tries to harm the child. The mongoose wages a battle with the snake and with great effort tears it apart. With the snakes blood oozing through its mouth, the mongoose runs to communicate the happy message to its parents( husband and wife). But seeing the mongoose with blood in its mouth, the mother of the child is enraged that the mongoose killed her child! Taking a piece of rock in her hand, she smashes the head of the poor, kind-hearted and gratitude-filled mongoose. Moral of the story – ask children. The instinctive answer they give is "it is bad to be good". Is their interpretation not correct? Only when we grow up will we understand the moral that before acting, gather the truth and based on the facts,act. But will a child, 6 or 7 years old understand the subtle moral. But this story will feature in every school book. Ammangar explained there are umpteen examples that can be quoted to display the fallacies of modern –morality building.
(to be continued ….)

This week, two Hong Kong-listed companies announced the detention of top executives in mainland China, the latest in a string of arrests amid Beijing's anti-corruption drive.
But it isn't just disappearing directors that should be sounding alarm bells.
The classic red flags of corporate distress are increasing and suggest tricky times ahead.
Taking an analysis of stock exchange filings, legal records and press reports, the classic warning signs can be broken down into three categories: the not-so-good, the bad and the ugly.
The not-so-good
Profit warnings and going-concern hazards are appearing with greater frequency.
Notable names joining the first category include nightclub operator Magnum Entertainment Group Holdings Ltd. (02080.HK), which said last week it not only expects a loss but is closing its flagship Beijing Club.
Young professionals, it seems, are becoming less flash with their cash.
Likewise, high-end retailers are feeling the squeeze.
Joyce Boutique Holdings Ltd. (00647.HK) also put out a profit warning this month, saying the four months to July this year were in loss-making territory in addition to an anticipated loss in the six months ending Sept. 30, 2015.
Its peer I.T Apparels Ltd. (00999.HK) is also a notable addition to the profit warning category: last month, it announced that it would take a HK$60 million (US$7.7 million) hit in foreign exchange losses.
Emperor Watch and Jewellery Ltd. (00887.HK) issued a profit warning in July, citing a decline in foot traffic, weak consumer sentiment and increased rents.
A perfect storm for retailers: expect more to follow suit.
Qualified audits are another barometer for lean times, and again the filings are increasing.
The majority are qualified on going-concern fears, meaning the firms face the threat of liquidation.
More than 90 listed companies have made announcements in respect of qualified audits since March this year.
Not surprisingly, given the commodities slump, mining, minerals, oil and gas companies have a significant presence on the list.
Taking a closer look at qualified audits suggest that plugging the financial holes can be a gargantuan task.
Last month, oil and gas storage company Hans Energy Co. Ltd. (00554.HK) said that it was going to have to repay bank loans and interest of HK$129 million within 12 months. The firm had just HK$40 million in cash.
Meanwhile, coal producer Rosan Resources Holdings Ltd. (00578.HK), announced last month that its current liabilities exceeded its current assets by HK$366.5 million.
The bad
This category includes auditors resigning, executives bailing, reams of litigation, windings-up and a prolonged suspension from the bourse due to financial difficulties.
Sixteen companies have put out an announcement in relation to the resignation of auditors over the past 12 months.
This week, it was the turn of Tianhe Chemicals Group Ltd. (01619.HK).
When auditors and a company clash over its financial statements, typically it is seen as a sign that the latter is headed for trouble.
Resignations of executives is another red flag, particularly when they leave en masse or with great frequency.
Replacing the departees with family members, 18-year-olds and trusted managers does not bode well.
When logging and timber firm Superb Summit International Group Ltd. (01228.HK) became the target of a report by US investment research and short-selling specialist Muddy Waters LLC, the board appointed one of the director's 23-year-old sons.
Superb Summit has been suspended since November 2014.
Prolonged suspensions from the exchange for severe financial difficulties now run to 12, including China Forestry Holdings Co. Ltd. (00930.HK) — once the darling of The Carlyle Group, the US private equity giant – and milk formula producer Daqing Dairy Holdings Ltd. (01007.HK), which started out as Global Dairy when it listed in October 2010.
Frenetic or prolonged litigation at a company is also taking a toll: in the past 12 months, 54 companies have announced ongoing lawsuits, a further 17 citing arbitration.
The good news is that to date, winding-up petitions are relatively scarce (12 over the past year), but traditionally these are filed after all avenues for recouping money are exhausted.
A glance at the writs list however reveals the numbers can be big.
The ugly
This category covers arrests, detentions, vanishing acts, investigations and prolonged suspension of a stock because of "irregularities".
On Tuesday, it was the turn of Greens Holdings Ltd. (01318.HK), which announced an investigation by the mainland Public Security Bureau into a subsidiary plus the arrest and detention of two of its directors and a warrant out for another.
Last week, Beijing Capital International Airport Co. Ltd. (00694.HK) announced that general manager Shi Boli (史博利) resigned amid reports he was under investigation.
In July, it was Patrick Liu Chunning of Alibaba Pictures Group Ltd. (01060.HK) who was detained by mainland authorities as part of a graft probe.
Perhaps the most sobering indictment of corporate Hong Kong, however, can be found on the prolonged suspension list for companies with "irregularities" or facing regulatory investigations, currently running at 29, with a marked increase since 2014 and 11 joining the list since February alone.
The most recent addition was Hanergy Thin Film Power Group Ltd. (00566.HK) in May.
Since August last year, however, the reasons given for landing on the list perhaps give the best indication of the detritus that lurks out of sight.
The "issues" identified at the 15 companies named include bogus transactions, sham acquisitions, fake value-added-tax invoice scams, fabricated accounts and undisclosed pledges of massive amounts of money by directors.
If these companies are any indication of what may be hiding below the surface, investors could be in for a turbulent ride.

Turnips are a member of the brassica family (which includes kale, cabbage, Brussels sprout, and broccoli, among others), and have been considered a reliable storage crop for centuries. Turnips have a sharp and sweet flavor, and provide a good source of vitamin C (especially when eaten raw), potassium, and calcium. Turnip greens are also edible and very healthy, and are great sources of vitamins A, C, and B complex, as well as potassium, magnesium, and calcium. Turnips are also believed to be one of the cruciferous vegetables that help prevent cancer.
Turnips store in the refrigerator (unwashed, in a plastic bag) for 1-2 weeks. Turnip greens should be stored separately, in the hydrator drawer of the fridge, and should be used as soon as possible. To store turnips long-term, they can be packed in wet sand and kept in a cool (but not freezing) spot.
General Tips
Clean turnips by scrubbing with a vegetable brush. They do not need to be peeled, but any damaged areas can be cut away.
Turnips can be eaten raw. Cut into sticks and eat with a dip, or grate into a salad or slaw.
Turnips can be:
- Boiled: 8-10 minutes for ½-1 inch thick slices or cubes, or 15-20 minutes for small whole turnips.
- Steamed: 12-15 minutes for ½-1 inch thick slices or cubes, or 20-25 minutes for small whole turnips.
- Baked: Baste with olive oil or butter, and bake at 350°F for 30-45 minutes. Turnips can be baked alone, or in combination with other root vegetables.
Turnips are also great alongside roasting meats, diced or cubed into soups or stews, sliced thinly in sautés, or mashed or scalloped like potatoes.
Mashed Turnips with Cream and Crispy Shallots
1 ½ - 2 lb. turnips, peeled and coarsely chopped
3 T butter, divided
1 cup thinly sliced shallots (or substitute sweet red onion)
½ cup heavy cream
1/8 tsp. grated nutmeg
Salt and pepper
1-3 tsp. minced Italian (flat-leaf) parsley
Place chopped turnips in large pot of cold water. Bring to boil and cook until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain well and puree turnips in a food processor (or mash them with a hand-held masher). Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a small skillet over medium flame, add shallots, and cook, stirring often, until shallots are tender and golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove shallots from skillet and drain them on paper towels. Combine the cream and remaining 1 tablespoon butter; bring to a simmer and stir into the pureed turnips. Season with nutmeg; add salt and pepper to taste. Place in a serving dish, garnish with shallots and parsley, and serve immediately. This recipe is adapted from one by a chef at Union Square Café in Manhattan. Makes 6-8 servings. (Recipe contributed by Molly Bartlett, Silver Creek Farm, in From Asparagus to Zucchini: A Guide to Cooking Farm-Fresh Seasonal Produce (Third Edition).)
Roasted Turnips with Balsamic Vinegar
2 large turnips
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar (+ additional 1 tsp. balsamic vinegar for finishing)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
Preheat oven to 450°F. Peel turnips with a knife, then cut into 1-inch cubes. Whisk together olive oil and balsamic vinegar and toss with turnips; spread in single layer on a pan. Roast turnips for 30-40 minutes, or until slightly browned and softened. Remove turnips from oven and place into serving bowl. Toss with an additional teaspoon of balsamic vinegar, season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper, and serve. (Original recipe here.)

Soaring to Amazing Heights
Janet Brown, Founder of Grace for Life, London, UK
There's a Jamaican saying that states clap yourself. This simply means give yourself a round of applause. Why you may ask? The answer is because you are an amazing woman. I don't personally know you, but what stands out about you is:
You are amazing because you're still taking in the breath of life which sustains you (yes, breath again). Despite the rough bumps you have encountered along the way, where you have screamed, shouted and shed tears. You rose again and decided to build bridges to travel over.
You ooze amazement as you take your flight over barriers and find the choices that make you comfortable and bring endless happiness.
You have learnt the art of balancing how you give, when and to whom. You understand to give the best of yourself to others you first must give to the beautiful you.
Amazingly you are able to let the past go by unshackling yourself to situations which hold no benefits. Forgive, forget and move on is your mantra.
There is only one version of you on this earth, another image cannot be moulded and shaped exactly like you . Awesome Lady.
Like mature wine getting older is not a regretful stage because success continues to flourish. You embrace the skills and knowledge learnt along the way and use them to map out where you'r going in life.
Giving birth to life in itself is the most amazing aspect of life. You put your life on the line for another.
Oozing beauty is definitely your middle name, which is definitely skin deep.
When all is said and done gratitude is your way of giving thanks for every moment of the journey you are on. Treating life like a precious diamond with care.
Realizing your thoughts are the power base of existence, every effort is made to take charge of how and where they are executed.
To the women starting this journey I salute you for having the awareness to bring the change you want. For those of you, practicing the art of being amazing despite the challenges you face; my message is keep the flag flying even if at times it drops to half mast. Those woman who have never thought of themselves in this way, I whisper in your ear, you too can do it.

posted a character on the Character sheet thread!!
I think I am interested in this. I would likely play a basic program, perhaps the Tron version of the paperclip. "It looks like you are trying to overthrow your creators. Would you like some help with that?" For powers, I didn't see the one I was thinking of, which was I suppose a type of teleportation, being able to appear in another place if certain conditions were met, or at least be "summonable" by a User.Oh, and ERP is short for erotic roleplay.
I am definitely interested. "Rolling up" a character now Civilian ENCOM Employee User, since the slots seem to be filling up quick on the program side of things (and after posting this initially, I found that the civilian slot was taken).
Sweet! Nice character However, remember that Basics start with 5 powers (6 including the free Grid Sense), so you have 2 more to pick.

"Collecting more taxes than is absolutely necessary is legalized robbery."
—President Calvin Coolidge
At FreedomWorks, we have a saying that goes, "Lower Taxes + Less Government = More Freedom". It's a fairly simple, yet effective formula with an end in mind that virtually all Americans would agree is desirable. So why is it so difficult to accomplish in the modern political world? The answer boils down in part to the difference between how the federal government treats tax cuts and spending hikes.
Today, it's popular among Democrats to bash the "Bush tax cuts". Since cutting taxes is almost always politically popular, savvy Democrats focus on the cuts for higher-income Americans. The argument goes that by lowering taxes, particularly for people who didn't really need it, the federal government also lowered revenue, and that this drop in revenue was the major cause for the enormous deficit and skyrocketing national debt. On the face of it, the argument is simple, intuitive, and effective. It seems obvious that if a country has lower taxes, government will take in less money. It's an elegant way for Democrats to advocate raising taxes and at the same time place blame for the deficit and debt on the Bush administration and Republicans in Congress. However, let's test this argument by taking it to the extreme: What if you raise the income tax to 90%? Or even 100%?
People won't work, or at the very least they'll work significantly less than they did before. If you only receive a tiny fraction of the monetary reward for your work, you just don't work as hard or as much, if at all. The less you work, the less of your income can be taxed away, lowering revenue. Taken to the other extreme, a 0% income tax obviously won't bring in any revenue. Therefore, the revenue-maximizing tax rate is somewhere between these two extremes.
This is a simplified version of the argument popularized by economist Arthur Laffer, whose graph of this phenomenon is commonly referred to as the "Laffer curve". During the Reagan presidency, the Laffer curve played a significant role in guiding the public policy which helped lead to widespread prosperity. Economists disagree over what exactly is the revenue-maximizing tax rate, or if there even is one that may be broadly applied across various levels of income or to different countries. Still, the point here is that to a certain point, cutting taxes can increase revenue, which means that the argument made by Democrats today isn't as obvious or irrefutable as it may seem.
Still, even if one concedes that perhaps the Bush tax cuts lowered tax rates below the revenue-maximizing point, is that really such a bad thing? Should the government extract every last dollar possible from the American people? After all, the revenue-maximizing tax rate isn't necessarily the optimal tax rate. Considering the spendthrift policies over the last decade since the institution of the tax cuts, it would appear likely that the additional revenue would have simply emboldened Congress to spend even more. Besides, even in 2003, the year with the lowest federal revenue following the start of the Bush tax cuts, the federal government still took in $1.782 trillion dollars in revenue, which was more than it took in only five years prior in 1998. (Source: OMB historical tables)
Revenue quickly bounced back, however, and by 2005 it had grown to $2.153 trillion dollars, which was more than $100 billion dollars higher than the previous mark set in 2000 before the tax cuts. Revenue continued to rise despite the lowered taxes until 2008, the beginning of the recession. So, the tax cuts certainly did not cripple the budget in any truly substantial and prolonged manner. Tax cuts did not create the debt, spending did. Trillions of dollars in debt come from spending trillions of dollars more than you take in. When Congress decided to pass a law cutting taxes across the board for Americans, they ought to have been responsible with spending until they could see how the tax cuts would affect revenue long-term. Instead, they continued to spend without restraint.
The tax cuts allowed Americans of all incomes to save more of the income they earned from being redistributed by government bureaucrats. So, why do the" Bush tax cuts" continue to be maligned by the Democrats and in the media? It's fairly simple. First, as mentioned before, it's a way for Democrats to advocate raising taxes, particularly on the wealthy, while at the same time making an excuse for their part in creating the debt and deficit. Second, and perhaps more importantly, these tax cuts have been cursed with the label of a highly unpopular president, even today. Despite the fact that it was Congress who voted these on these bills, President George W. Bush's advocacy for the tax cuts tied his name to them from the start. One could say that this was a nifty rhetorical trick by the Democrats, as they manage to continue blaming current political issues on the former president. However, Republicans have largely played along and also refer to them as the "Bush tax cuts". In other words, the Republicans have failed to win the public relations battle and barely tried to fight it in the first place.
Still, these tax cuts began more than a decade ago. Why are they still temporary? Why are they still an important political issue? The main reason is the "sunset" provision placed in the bill, which meant that the tax cuts would be revoked if not extended by Congress after a certain period of time. As badly as the Republicans lost the public relations battle over the "branding" of the tax cuts, they essentially lost the war by agreeing to these provisions. Why would across-the-board lower taxes for all Americans be temporary? When the federal government still takes in, at the least, close to two trillion dollars a year in revenue after the cuts are made, why are the cuts still considered controversial?
The problem lies with how the federal government treats spending. Whereas tax cuts are considered temporary and require periodic extension, spending assumes a certain baseline amount and only increases from there. The culture in Washington is so distorted that bureaucrats feel a need to spend every last dollar budgeted to them and then plead for more besides that. If you come in under-budget on a project in many federal agencies, you'll simply receive a smaller budget next year. If you use the entirety of your budget, then your agency clearly needs additional funds. Next year's budget will almost automatically add those extra dollars, making the bureaucrat's job easier instead of forcing them to be efficient with their allotted cash. This breeds a culture of inefficiency and waste that culminates into larger and larger federal outlays.
Considering the inexorable impulse of the bureaucracy toward increases in spending, perhaps it should not be a surprise that any drop in revenue would be considered a crisis by Democrats who sincerely believe in the goals of these bureaucrats. After all, the bureaucracy needs that money, doesn't it? Increased spending therefore becomes permanent and inevitable.
The contrast between how Washington treats tax cuts and spending hikes paints a bleak picture. In a sensible society, wouldn't it be the tax cuts that are typically permanent and the spending hikes that are temporary and which require periodic justification in order to be extended? Luckily, there's a simple solution to this mess: Cut spending. The grassroots-generated Tea Party budget slashes $9.7 trillion dollars in spending over the next ten years, balances the budget in four years, and makes the so-called "Bush tax cuts" permanent. It accomplishes these seemingly impossible feats without raising taxes.
Let's consider the FreedomWorks equation one more time: "Lower Taxes + Less Government = More Freedom". We know that we as Americans want more freedom. The tax cuts achieved the first element of the equation and it's time to add the second element by cutting spending, thereby decreasing the size and scope of the federal government. Only then will Americans have more freedom from an enormous national debt, massive deficit, and heavy tax burden.
If you would like to learn more about the Tea Party Budget, here is the link.
"Because, he said, "I sometimes have a queer feeling with regard to you - especially when you are near me, as now: it is as if I had a string somewhere under my left ribs, tightly and inextricably knotted to a similar string situated in the corresponding quarter of your little frame. And if that boisterous channel, and two hundred miles or so of land some broad between us, I am afraid that cord of communion will be snapt; and then I've a nervous notion I should take to bleeding inwardly. As for you, - you'd forget me."
<a href="http://rajasthanispecial.com/index.php/womens-collection/sarees.html">sa...
We are wrong to say that we want tax cuts because it will create more revenue. Although it has in the past; it is much more complex than that. It depends where you are on the curve. It depends on future expectations. It depends on many factors.
We must make our arguments beyond reproach, clear and true. WE DO NOT; and the country remains divided.
I want simpler taxes because it is in the COMPLEXITY that they hide the corruption and grant the favors. Obama is a REGULATIONIST. Google it. "School of Regulation" . Why should the government take the socialist risk of owning the businesses, when it can control the means of production through regulation?
The lower taxes and the more limited government will come when they are forced to be clear. We MUST emphasize that we want simple taxes and less regulation, not because we are just too busy, over taxed or like to pollute; but because we do want CRONY REGULATIONISM which leads to Government/Corporate collusion and mass corruption.
I am sorry; every time I hear that the Bush tax cuts should be permanent, I rage at the stupidness or corruption of our side.
I agree less regulation is a huge part of less government that we should emphasize. I think by saying 'make Bush tax cuts permanent,' that refers to what cutting spending would effectively do.

Personal Statement
My obsession with the skies started when I was five or so. One night I was looking through a telescope at the full moon and my dad told me that not only was that silver disk really a sphere but so was the Earth. It totally blew my young mind. I had thought I was on a flat plane looking up at another flat object. Since then I have been intrigued by the clash between observed phenomena and scientific explanations.
In addition, I always enjoy a good challenge. In the classroom, the subject material is divided and isolated by courses and semesters, but research draws all that knowledge together. It is a wonderful challenge to keep all those threads in mind and to consider how these normally disparate subjects interweave.
Education/Work Experience
I graduated from Norwell High School in 2008 and went on to American University. I will graduate in the spring of 2012 with a BS in Physics and a Spanish Translation Certificate. I also work part time within the physics department, with previous jobs such as Supplemental Instruction leader, laboratory teaching assistant and lab equipment organizer.
Between my freshman and sophomore years of college, I researched optical communications at Boston University through a REU in photonics. The project combined general lighting for a business workspace with a high security communications network. The light source was light emitting diodes that rapidly blinked off and on to transmit data in binary code to a receiver plugged into a laptop computer. The diodes blink so fast that the eyes perceive the light as always on.
Between my sophomore and junior years, I researched quantum optics at the National Institute of Standards and Technology as part of their Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship program. I wrote a LabVIEW program to collect data from a powermeter and an ammeter to calibrate a superconducting transition-edge sensor (TES), which we ultimately found to be over 97% efficient at detecting and counting just a handful of photons. To put this in perspective, a standard light bulb emits millions of photons every second. Quantum computers—the future of computing—will have very secure transactions because a third party cannot read the data encrypted into a single photon without disturbing the system and alerting the sender and receiver to the intrusion. Those receivers will be similar to our TES photon detector so that they can detect the very few photons being transmitted.
Extracurricular Activities
I lived and breathed FIRST Robotics Competition in high school. Now that I am in college, I volunteer at regional competitions over my spring breaks. I plan to be a team mentor, too, when I can find the time to make a difference. I am also very actively involved in my university's Women in Science student group, helping to organize monthly meetings, alumni panels, science field trips, and fundraisers.
In my free time, I enjoy reading science fiction, blues dancing and cooking.
Career Objectives
After I graduate next year, I will serve five years in the Navy under their nuclear engineering officer program. My dream job is to work on nuclear-powered spacecraft so I can combine my passions for astrophysics and nuclear engineering.

You are here: Rechtsbereiche & Sektoren Geistiges Eigentum Patente Unified Patent Court (UPC)
The Unified Patent Court is intended to have exclusive jurisdiction over all European Patents in participating countries and the proposed European Patent with Unitary Effect.
The Unified Patent Court (or UPC) is intended to be the first EU-wide court for civil disputes. If it comes into being, it will fundamentally change how European patents are litigated in Europe. Instead of enforcement in national courts for national relief, patentees would be able to opt for Europe wide injunctions in one division of the UPC; and parties could seek revocation of all national parts of a European patent in a single action. This would have a significant impact on any business which is involved in patent litigation or licensing in Europe.
Following the UK's Brexit vote in May 2016, there are several question marks over the UPC and the European Patent with Unitary Effect (the Unitary Patent). For the UPC to start work, the UPC Agreement must be ratified by each of the UK, Germany and France, and it remains unclear whether the UK government will be willing to ratify an EU instrument. Assuming that the UPC does begin work, there has been a question as to whether the UK – if it wished to participate – could legally do so once it has left the EU.
If the UPC does not open, the Unitary Patent will not come into effect either.
Simmons & Simmons has one of the leading, most highly experienced and closely integrated teams of IP lawyers across Europe. Kevin Mooney, a long standing Partner at the firm, has been part of an international team of lawyers working towards the creation of a new European patent court for many years. He served as the Chairman of the Committee that was tasked with drafting the Rules and Procedure of the UPC and is now the only UK lawyer who is a member of the Expert Group advising on the implementation of the UPC project. Kevin Mooney, with Rowan Freeland, was also involved in obtaining a formal legal Opinion on whether the UK can legally remain part of the UPC after Brexit.
Simmons & Simmons is therefore uniquely placed to advise clients on the UPC and appropriate steps to prepare for its possible implementation, as well as advising on European litigation strategy.

The Unified Patent Court will eventually have exclusive jurisdiction over all European Patents and new European Patents with Unitary Effect.

(Reuters) — The National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU) said on Wednesday it has sued a federal government hiring agency over recent cyberattacks, alleging it violated constitutional privacy rights of NTEU members by failing to keep their personnel records safe.The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, asked the court to declare the Office of Personnel Management's (OPM) failure to improve cybersecurity to be unconstitutional.OPM has been tight-lipped about the extent of the security hack announced last month, which other federal agencies have said could have compromised personal information of as many as 18 million Americans.RELATED ARTICLESProtecting employee privacy when it comes to data-driven insightsRules tighten for reporting data breachesRecording employee misconductThe lawsuit also asked the court to order OPM to pay for lifetime credit-monitoring services and identity theft protection for NTEU members, to take steps to heighten its information technology security to prevent future acts, and to no longer collect personal information from NTEU members electronically until those steps are taken."We believe that a lawsuit is the best way to force OPM to take immediate steps to safeguard personnel data, prevent such attacks in the future and help our members protect themselves against the fallout," NTEU National President Colleen Kelley said in a statement.NTEU, the nation's largest independent federal union, represents 150,000 employees in 31 agencies and departments.© Copyright Canadian HR Reporter, HAB Press.

Subscribe To All The Way Trailer: Watch Bryan Cranston Kill It As Lyndon B. Johnson For HBO Updates
I've already subscribed
New movie All The Way has been in the works over at HBO for a while. We've known the flick would pick up amidst the racial turbulence of the 1960s and would feature a stacked cast, including Bryan Cranston playing Lyndon Baines Johnson. However, knowing something and seeing something in action is not the same thing, and the first trailer for All The Way should blow you away. Do give it a watch, below.
We've been hearing about Bryan Cranston's ability to play Lyndon B. Johnson for several months now, and in fact, in the first image HBO revealed for All The Way, Cranston looked pretty darn close to LBJ himself. However, in the trailer for the new HBO movie, Cranston really goes to great lengths to look and sound like the former President, who will be picking up the pieces after the assassination of John F. Kennedy. It's too early to call him an awards contender from the short HBO trailer, but it looks like it should prove to be a pretty credible performance. Bryan Cranston's not the only actor who is looking spot-on in the trailer, either.
It helps that Cranston has surrounded himself with an incredible cast. The Steven Spielberg production also boasts Melissa Leo, Anthony Mackie, Bradley Whitford and Stephen Root, not to mention Frank Langella, who actually played a President—Nixon—in the Academy Award-nominated flick Frost/Nixon. Bradley Whitford, of course, is also famous for doing politically-oriented TV programming, famously starring in The West Wing (among a slew of other TV programs). Melissa Leo and Anthony Mackie really need no introduction, but if you're not familiar, the a-list actress has been a part of The Fighter, Flight and more, and also appeared on HBO before, via the miniseries Mildred Pierce. Anthony Mackie has most recently been in a slew of Marvel films as Falcon, and was also in the big screen flicks Our Brand is Crisis and The Night Before this past year. As I said, the cast is full of heavy hitters, and that's not even getting in to the other numerous names involved with the ensemble drama.
That's not to say All The Way will be a breezy, fun HBO comedy movie. In fact, I feel like Cranston's Lyndon B. Johnson is agitated throughout most of the trailer, and eventually even reveals some intense thoughts on politics.
Politics is war. You're not running for office. You're running for your life.
We know, that quote gives you the chills a little bit, right? If you are already as invested in All the Way as I currently am, you can catch the TV flick on HBO platforms starting on Saturday, May 21 at 8 p.m. ET.

A Valentine: Vigée Le Brun Conquers New York
At the Metropolitan Museum of Art, membership previews were held this week for: Vigée Le Brun: Woman Artist in Revolutionary France. Hers was not a name I was familiar with, yet she was French, so I rushed right over to investigate. Installed in the Special Exhibition Gallery, #199 on the first floor off the Roman and Greek wing, the show with eighty paintings has come to New York by way of Paris.
There it had been installed at the Grand Palais and consisted of a whopping 159 paintings drawn from both private and public sources. We New Yorkers are getting the slimmed down version, but one no less gorgeous.
Who Is Vigée Le Brun?
Élisabeth-Louise Vigée Le Brun (French, 1755-1842) was the daughter of a talented portrait painter, from whom she received her first instruction. Her father died when she was 12, but her mother, recognizing the girl's talent, shepherded her daughter to galleries and museums, where she studied the techniques of the Italian and Flemish artists in Paris's royal collections.
Vigée Le Brun and Marie Antoinette: Girls Just Want to Have Fun
As women were not admitted to the art academies in those days, Vigée le Brun was very much a self-taught artist. But as her fame spread, she was asked by the mother of Marie Antoinette to paint her daughter's portrait so she could see her, the young Queen of France, in all of her royal splendor. That painting would be the first of 30 commissions that Vigée le Brun would receive for paintings of Marie Antoinette and her children.
Many of the stories that have come down to us about Marie Antoinette depict the haughtiness and the self-indulgence of the last queen of France, but few of them give any indication of her softer side as seen in this exhibition.
One painting shows the artist at her easel, working on a likeness of the queen. As the paint brushes slip to the floor, Marie Antoinette bends to pick them up. The scene suggests a kindness on the queen's part, a moment between equals, rather than one between a queen and her court painter.
Couture Unfit for a Queen
In another painting, Vigeé Le Brun, depicted the queen wearing a simple summer dress, a fashion very much in vogue at that time. The painting infuriated her subjects who saw it as an outfit befitting commoners, but not a queen.
At which Vigeé Le Brun painted her subject in the identical pose, holding yet another rose in hand but wearing the splendid regal gown you see to the left.
To see the two paintings hanging side-by-side in the current show and to hear how they came about was instructive. What's more, the incident suggests a more playful side of Marie-Antoinette, before she would be sent to the guillotine by the revolution.
Thanks to the intercession of the King Louis XVI, the young painter won admission to France's royal academy in 1783 and went on to become one of the leading portraitists of her time. What's more she was widely regarded as one of the finest colorists of her day. Her palette is sensuous, with unexpected, dazzling combinations.
A beautiful woman with an engaging manner and an excellent conversationalist with a fine mind, the artist was known for being able to put her sitters at ease. And it appears that all who sat for her, predominantly women, were beautiful—fresh and natural—with luminous skin, glinting eyes, and looking very much to the manner born. As does the artist, herself, in the self-portrait with straw hat.
Vigée Le Brun and the Finance Minister
Of all the well-born men who sat for her, my favorite painting was that of Charles Alexandre de Calonne, Louis XVI's finance minister, as he holds a recently penned letter to the King, looking somewhat amused.
In a memoir written a few years before her death at 87, Vigée Le Brun would recount how malicious gossips, jealous of her success, spread rumors that she and the finance minister were having an affair. Which she maintained was not the case.
But if you look at the expression on his face, the intensity of the gaze, it's not hard to believe he was quite fond, if not half in love with her.
Because of Vigeé Le Brun's close connections to the court and to the aristocracy, she fled France with her young daughter at the outset of the revolution in 1789. Arriving in Italy without much more than her paints and brushes, she quickly created a mother-daughter portrait to display her talents. Once again, she became a great favorite of the nobility, and for the next twelve 12 years, she would work her magic in the European capitals of Naples, Vienna and St Petersburg. After which she returned to Paris.
The last painting was a treat to see, as it rarely leaves Versailles, other than to occasionally go to Paris. It's that of Marie Antoinette with her children--the Dauphin, the heir to the throne of France, standing to the right, pointing to an empty bassinet that's symbolic of a fourth child who died young.
What's hard to understand is why this is the first retrospective and only the second exhibition – the other at the Kimball Museum in Fort Worth, Texas in the summer of 1982—of Vigée Le Brun's work in modern times.
The curator of European paintings at the Met, Katherine Baetjer, who has been at the Met for forty years, said that this is the first solo exhibition by a woman artist. Well, it's about time. Roberta Smith, the art critic for the New York Times called the exhibition "ravishing…long-overdue".
"Only in painting have I found happiness," the artist once said. In this exhibition that runs until May 15, 2016, the happiness she found is very much in evidence.
Hope to see you next week. In the meantime, happy Valentine's Day! And take time to enjoy the Met's valentine to New York: Vigée Le Brun: Woman Artist in Revolutionary France.
Remember, sharing is caring! Merci beaucoup.

So what's so special about leather? Is it the smell, the texture, the way that it ages and softens so beautifully…? Or is it all of those qualities that make it a truly unique material to use and work with?
Leather has always been special to me. Good quality leather glows from within and ages so beautifully.
The Photograph below was a recent commission showing the incredible natural scaring that can appear in leather.
So when I was recently asked to make a leather project bag for a friends birthday I jumped at the chance. I made her a two skein project bag with her company logo embossed in gold on the front. It was a really special project for me and one that I really enjoyed making. After seeing the project bag again after a a few months use I was amazed at how beautifully the leather has softened. So there was only one thing for it… I made up more and set up a little Etsy shop so that other could enjoy these too.
If you're looking for something a little bit different to the normal project bag then pop on over to our Etsy shop and have a look, I have three different sizes available to pre order a the moment and if you would like something specific then please get in touch and I can make you something to fill your specifications.
Happy knitting

What have you learned from this recession?/
Welcome to Format Free Fridays at AskDrDarcy.com, the one day a week when I break the format of answering your questions and I dispense that which we rarely welcome in life: Unsolicited Advice.
Today I ask you a question: What did you learn from this recession? If your answer doesn't include a version of, "there's no such thing as job security," than I question if you learned anything.
The crash of 2007 slammed the ceiling down on corporate America like no other time since the Great Depression. Just as that ceiling imploded, an unprecedented number of individuals were given the freedom to finally embark on the career of their dreams: Owning their own businesses.
Over the past 3 ½ years, I've witnessed more people in my professional and personal life get laid off than I ever imagined possible. As you might expect, I noticed a couple of trends in reaction to job loss:
I call Trend A the Question Nothing response. In this response, the individual ignores the likelihood of being fired in the future and immediately begins job hunting, seeing reemployment as the only solution to their problem.
I call Trend B the Never Again response. In this response, the individual is determined to avoid the vulnerability of being at the mercy of an employer and instead chooses to take fully responsibility for career successes and failures by being self-employed.
Before we start picking sides, let's examine the traditional trajectory to professional success: Get into a great college. Do exceptionally well. Find a job. Show unwavering loyalty to said employer. Receive a good salary. Retire.
Yet, every news organization has reported, at least of late, that employer loyalty is a thing of the past; worse, the employees who are at highest risk for being laid off are the senior employees who, by virtue of their experience, tend to be the highest earners (references listed below).
When times change, shouldn't we change with them? Looking back on the past 3-4 years, we've seen unimaginable change, the likes of which historically springboard societal paradigm shifts. So at what point do we begin to question our formula for professional success?
In the throes of all the layoffs, I witnessed a remarkable phenomenon: Some people were capitalizing on their misfortune and viewing it as an opportunity to become their own boss. Clients often doubled up their session with me, sitting in my office brainstorming for weeks about their ideal business, developing a business plan and forming their business.
If the collective opinion is that the definition of insanity is repeating the same behavior while expecting a different response, doesn't it bear questioning the logic behind Trend A? If I were to tell you that I counted up the number of people who I know who were laid off and roughly 30% of those who jumped back on the corporate wagon did indeed get drop kicked from their second job, would you still see option A as the safer route? And of those who aligned with Trend B? The worst-case scenario is that a few people had to supplement their income with part-time employment. After all, no one imagined that this recession would last 3+ years.
Even if you were one of the lucky ones who remained employed, you are likely changed, forever, by virtue of watching the layoff debacle. So how are you going to make that change a positive one? What are you going to do with this information so that this recession taught you something? I'd love to hear from you: email@example.com

3 great insights into couples' trust and betrayal in 4 1/2 minutes
John Gottman, the most important researcher into how couples function and fail working today, offers three great, research-based insights into what helps or hurts relationships.
We have a choice to turn away or connect with our partner dozens of times a day and that is more important for the health of a relationship than betrayal itself. What turning towards a partner looks like: ATTUNE, an acronym for Awareness of feelings, Turning towards the feeling, Tolerance of two different viewpoints, seeking Understanding of one's partner, responding Non-defensively, Empathy. How CLalt (Comparison Level Alternative or "I can do better") when you are frustrated with a partner can lead to relationship destroying cascades. Great!
