Non-aggressive panhandling during daytime hours is becoming more and more noticeable in downtown Sarasota, especially at the Ringling Boulevard and Gulfstream Avenue intersections with U.S. 41.
Last week, numerous drivers reported a homeless man at Ringling Boulevard and U.S. 41; he was holding up a cardboard sign asking for money.
But, unlike some neighboring municipalities and counties, the city's ordinance does not require the arrest of panhandlers for holding up such signs unless they are directly asking motorists for money. (See box for complete ordinance.)
Panhandling on city streets also is allowed during daytime hours unless it's deemed to be aggressive.
Sarasota Police Capt. Paul Sutton said there's nothing officers can do about panhandlers on street corners, holding up signs asking for money, unless they are harassing motorists with direct requests for help.
"Panhandling is a constitutionally protected activity in our city, but it can be limited," Sutton said.
A city ordinance states that panhandlers within city limits cannot beg for money before sunrise and after sunset. Police officers also can prohibit aggressive panhandling, which is characterized as more than one panhandler begging someone for money at the same time. Panhandling also is prohibited on bank properties and near parking meters.
Sarasota County has a similar ordinance in place that doesn't allow aggressive panhandling.
"All we can do is enforce the ordinances that are on the books," Sutton said. "If all they have is a sign and they don't ask anyone for anything while they are on the street, they are exempt."
Meanwhile, several municipalities surrounding Sarasota are making panhandling an illegal activity — no matter what time of day it occurs. Some of those ordinances also don't distinguish between aggressive and non-aggressive panhandling.
In October, the Tampa City Council voted 4-1 in favor of a panhandling ordinance for the city limits. That ordinance, which went into effect Nov. 1, prohibits any street panhandling six days a week, leaving Sunday as the only day the practice is allowed.
In Tampa, panhandlers must receive a warning, before being cited and having to appear in court, where they will face punishment ranging from fines to one year in jail.
The Tampa City Council action followed a June 2010 move by the city of St. Petersburg to implement a ban on any soliciting that involves requesting money.
Closer to home, Manatee County passed an ordinance in March 2007 that prohibits any type of panhandling near a roadway. It also forces panhandlers to stay at least 15 feet away from a road. In Manatee County, panhandlers receive a warning before facing either a fine of up to $500 or a 60-day jail stay.
Meanwhile, Sutton said he believes the city has an ordinance on the books that's working, He noted that panhandling is not prevalent on city streets.
Through Oct. 31 this year, Sutton said 48 complaints had been registered in regard to panhandling, and that the majority of those did not involve panhandlers on city streets.
"That's 48 complaints out of 53,000 complaints in total," Sutton said.
"Panhandling shall be defined as any solicitation made in person upon any street, public place, park or beach in the city, in which a person requests an immediate donation or money or other gratuity from another person. Panhandling, however, shall not include the act of passively standing or sitting nor performing music, singing or other street performance with a sign or other indication that a donation is being sought, without any vocal request other than in response to an inquiry by another person."
"It shall be unlawful to engage in the act of panhandling on any day after sunset or before sunrise. It shall be unlawful to engage in any act of panhandling in an aggressive manner, including any of the following actions:
• Touching the solicited person without their consent
• Panhandling a person while such person is standing in line and waiting to be admitted to a commercial establishment
• Blocking the path of a person being solicited or the entrance to any building or vehicle
• Following behind, ahead or alongside a person who walks away from the panhandler after being solicited
• Using profane or abusive language, either during the solicitation or following a refusal to make a donation or making any statement, gesture or other communication, which would cause a reasonable person to be fearful
• Panhandling in a group of two or more person.
• Panhandling near parking meters

Importing "GIFT" format files
GIFT is the most comprehensive import format available for importing Moodle quiz questions from a text file. It supports Multiple-Choice, True-False, Short Answer, Matching and Numerical questions, as well as insertion of a _____ for the Missing Word format. Various question-types can be mixed in a single text file, and the format also supports line comments, question names, feedback and percentage-weight grades.
The text encoding of your text file must be utf-8 (unless you only use ascii characters). An example questions text file can be found here: gift/examples.txt.
Each individual question in the GIFT file must not contain any blank lines. Each question is delimited by at least one blank line. If you need to represent a blank line in your question you can use the entity \n. You can use comments wherever you wish but they must start with two forward slashes (//) at the start of the line.
Multiple Choice:
For multiple choice questions, wrong answers are prefixed with a tilde (~)
and the correct answer is prefixed with an equal sign (=).
Who's buried in Grant's tomb?{~Grant ~Jefferson =no one}
The Missing Word format automatically inserts a fill-in-the-blank line (like this _____) in the middle of the sentence. To use the Missing Word format, place the answers where you want the line to appear in the sentence.
Grant is {~buried =entombed ~living} in Grant's tomb.
If the answers come before the closing punctuation mark, a fill-in-the-blank line will be inserted for the "missing word" format. All question types can be written in the Missing Word format.
There must be a blank line (double carriage return) separating questions. For clarity, the answers can be written on separate lines and even indented. For example:
The American holiday of Thanksgiving is celebrated on the { ~second ~third =fourth } Thursday of November. Japanese characters originally came from what country? { ~India =China ~Korea ~Egypt }
Short Answer:
Answers in Short Answer question-type are all prefixed by an equal sign (=),
indicating that they are all correct answers. The answers must not contain a tilde.
Who's buried in Grant's tomb?{=no one =nobody} Two plus two equals {=four =4}.
If there is only one correct Short Answer, it may be written without the equal sign prefix, as long as it cannot be confused as True-False.
In this question-type the answer indicates whether the statement is true or false.
The answer should be written as {TRUE} or {FALSE}, or abbreviated to {T} or {F}.
Grant is buried in Grant's tomb.{F} The sun rises in the east.{T}
Matching pairs begin with an equal sign (=) and are separated by this symbol "->". There must be at least three matching pairs.
Matching Question. { =subquestion1 -> subanswer1 =subquestion2 -> subanswer2 =subquestion3 -> subanswer3 } Match the following countries with their corresponding capitals. { =Canada -> Ottawa =Italy -> Rome =Japan -> Tokyo =India -> New Delhi }
Matching questions do not support feedback or percentage answer weights.
The answer section for Numerical questions must start with a number sign (#).
Numerical answers can include an error margin, which is written following the correct answer, separated by a colon.
So for example, if the correct answer is anything between 1.5 and 2.5, then it would be written as follows {#2:0.5}.
This indicates that 2 with an error margin of 0.5 is correct (i.e., the span from 1.5 to 2.5).
If no error margin is specified, it will be assumed to be zero.
When was Ulysses S. Grant born? {#1822} What is the value of pi (to 3 decimal places)? {#3.1415:0.0005}.
Optionally, numerical answers can be written as a span in the following format {#MinimumValue..MaximumValue}.
What is the value of pi (to 3 decimal places)? {#3.141..3.142}.
Moodle's browser interface does not support multiple numerical answers, but Moodle's code can and so does GIFT. This can be used to specify numerical multiple spans, and can be particularly usefully when combined with percentage weight grades. If multiple answers are used, they must be separated by an equal sign, like short answer questions.
When was Ulysses S. Grant born? {# =1822:0 =%50%1822:2 }
Note that since Moodle's browser GUI doesn't support multiple answers for Numerical questions, there's no way to see them or edit them through Moodle. The only way to change a numerical answer beyond the first, is to delete the question and re-import it (or use something like phpMyAdmin).
An essay question is simply a question with an empty answer field. Nothing is permitted
between the curly braces at all.
Write a short biography of Ulysses S. Grant {}
A description "question" has no answer part at all
The next set of questions will concern arithmatic
In addition to these basic question types, this filter offers the following options: line comments, question name, feedback and percentage answer weight.
Line Comments:
Comments that will not be imported into Moodle can be included in the text file.
This can be used to provide headers or more information about questions.
All lines that start with a double backslash (not counting tabs or spaces) will be ignored by the filter.
// Subheading: Numerical questions below What's 2 plus 2? {#4}
Question Name:
A question name can be specified by placing it first and enclosing it within double colons.
::Kanji Origins::Japanese characters originally came from what country? {=China} ::Thanksgiving Date::The American holiday of Thanksgiving is celebrated on the {~second ~third =fourth} Thursday of November.
If no question name is specified, the entire question will be used as the name by default.
Feedback can be included for each answer by following the answer with a number sign (# also known as a hash mark) and the feedback.
What's the answer to this multiple-choice question? { ~wrong answer#feedback comment on the wrong answer ~another wrong answer#feedback comment on this wrong answer =right answer#Very good! } Who's buried in Grant's tomb? { =no one#excellent answer! =nobody#excellent answer! } Grant is buried in Grant's tomb.{FALSE#Wrong, No one is buried in Grant's tomb.#Right, well done.}
For Multiple Choice questions, feedback is displayed only for the answer the student selected. For short answer, feedback is shown only when students input the corresponding correct answer. For true-false questions, there can be one or two feedback strings. The first is shown if the student gives the wrong answer. The second if the student gives the right answer.
Percentage Answer Weights:
Percentage answer weights are available for both Multiple Choice and Short Answer questions.
Percentage answer weights can be included by following the tilde (for Multiple Choice) or
equal sign (for Short Answer) with the desired percent enclosed within percent signs (e.g., %50%).
This option can be combined with feedback comments.
Difficult question.{~wrong answer ~%50%half credit answer =full credit answer} ::Jesus' hometown::Jesus Christ was from { ~Jerusalem#This was an important city, but the wrong answer. ~%25%Bethlehem#He was born here, but not raised here. ~%50%Galilee#You need to be more specific. =Nazareth#Yes! That's right! }. ::Jesus' hometown:: Jesus Christ was from { =Nazareth#Yes! That's right! =%75%Nazereth#Right, but misspelled. =%25%Bethlehem#He was born here, but not raised here. }
Note that the last two examples are essentially the same question, first as multiple choice and then as short answer.
Note that it is possible to specify percentage answer weights that are NOT available through the browser interface. The Match Grades drop-down on the import page determines how these are handled. You can either request that an error be reported or that the answer weight be adjusted to the nearest valid answer weight.
Specify text-formatting for the question
The question text (only) may have an optional text format specified. Currently the available formats are
moodle (Moodle Auto-Format), html (HTML format), plain (Plain text format) and
markdown (Markdown format). The format is specified in square brackets immediately before the
question text. More information on text formats in Moodle.
[markdown]The *American holiday of Thanksgiving* is celebrated on the { ~second ~third =fourth } Thursday of November.
Multiple Answers:
The Multiple Answers option is used for multiple choice questions when two or more answers must
be selected in order to obtain full credit. The multiple answers option is enabled by assigning
partial answer weight to multiple answers, while allowing no single answer to receive full credit.
What two people are entombed in Grant's tomb? { ~No one ~%50%Grant ~%50%Grant's wife ~Grant's father }
Note that there is no equal sign (=) in any answer and the answers should total no more than 100%, otherwise Moodle will return an error. To avoid the problem of students automatically getting 100% by simply checking all of the answers, it is best to include negative answer weights for wrong answers.
What two people are entombed in Grant's tomb? { ~%-50%No one ~%50%Grant ~%50%Grant's wife ~%-50%Grant's father }
Special Characters ~ = # { } :
These symbols ~ = # { } : control the operation of this filter and cannot be used as normal text within questions.
Since these symbols have a special role in determining the operation of this filter, they are called "control characters."
But sometimes you may want to use one of these characters, for example to show a mathematical formula in a question.
The way to get around this problem is "escaping" the control characters.
This means simply putting a backslash (\) before a control character so the filter will know that you want to use
it as a literal character instead of as a control character.
For example:
Which answer equals 5? { ~ \= 2 + 2 = \= 2 + 3 ~ \= 2 + 4 } ::GIFT Control Characters:: Which of the following is NOT a control character for the GIFT import format? { ~ \~ # \~ is a control character. ~ \= # \= is a control character. ~ \# # \# is a control character. ~ \{ # \{ is a control character. ~ \} # \} is a control character. = \ # Correct! \ (backslash) is not a control character. BUT, it is used to escape the control characters. }
When the question is processed, the backslash is removed and is not saved in Moodle.
Specifying Categories
It is possible to change the category into which the questions are added within the GIFT file. You can change the category as many times as you wish within the file. All questions after the modifier up to the next modifier or the end of the file will be added to the specified category. Up to the first category modifier the category specified on the import screen will be used. Note that for this to work the from file: box must be ticked on the import screen.
To include a category modifier include a line like this (with a blank line before and after):
$CATEGORY: tom/dick/harryor simply
$CATEGORY: mycategory...the first example specifies a path of nested categories. In this cae the questions will go into harry. The categories are created if they do not exist.
Other Options:
Short Answer questions can be made case sensitive by changing "0" to "1" in the following line:
$question->usecase = 0; // Ignore case

Repository roles for organizations
You can give organization members, outside collaborators, and teams of people different levels of access to repositories owned by an organization by assigning them to roles. Choose the role that best fits each person or team's function in your project without giving people more access to the project than they need.
From least access to most access, the roles for an organization repository are:
- Read: Recommended for non-code contributors who want to view or discuss your project
- Triage: Recommended for contributors who need to proactively manage issues and pull requests without write access
- Write: Recommended for contributors who actively push to your project
- Maintain: Recommended for project managers who need to manage the repository without access to sensitive or destructive actions
- Admin: Recommended for people who need full access to the project, including sensitive and destructive actions like managing security or deleting a repository
You can create custom repository roles. For more information, see "Managing custom repository roles for an organization."
Organization owners can set base permissions that apply to all members of an organization when accessing any of the organization's repositories. For more information, see "Setting base permissions for an organization."
Organization owners can also choose to further limit access to certain settings and actions across the organization. For more information on options for specific settings, see "Managing organization settings."
In addition to managing organization-level settings, organization owners have admin access to every repository owned by the organization. For more information, see "Roles in an organization."
Warning: When someone adds a deploy key to a repository, any user who has the private key can read from or write to the repository (depending on the key settings), even if they're later removed from the organization.

About Me:
My name is Mandy Jayne Gregory and this is my dream. I live on a farm in Cornwall UK with my husband Charlie and my Great Dane Narnia Bug. In 2017 I had an idea that grew and grew until out of my idea my business was born. My idea was to purchase a caravan and convert it onto a shop. I found a caravan and we bought it for just £50. Charlie worked very hard to convert it into my shop. He used recycled wood
In Spring 2018 it was ready to open. At first, I did animal-themed gifts and then in 2019, I decided to turn my hobby of fused glass into a business to complement my existing business. In May 2019 I opened Lucy Locket's Studio alongside my existing business The Crazy Dog Pawtique.
Lucy Locket's Studio is named in memory of my previous Great Dane Lucy Locket...Please note this item is handmade and design placement a vary slightly.

Before I go on – let me but this out there. Marlin lever action rifles are my favorite Lever Action Rifles. More over, they are my favorite rifles that are not auto-loading. Of all the Manual Loading Rifles, Marlins are my first choice. I can't help but to love the Marlins. But Marlin has some issues going on and they need some serious help. Many people have lost faith in the Brand. And it's understandable. So here's my plan…
If Remington were to hire me to be the Brand Manager for Marlin, I'd have a list of changes to make.
First off, everyone that is charge of Quality Control that's been there since 2007… Those guys are fired or demoted to push broom control. All the current executives since 2007 would all be fired as well. What they have done to the Marlin Brand is unforgivable.
They brought out the X7 series of rifles. Cheap Bolt Action rifles, which on the surface is just fine. But this isn't keeping in with the Marlin Brand; the Marlin Image. Marlin should be a recognizable brand like Jeep is. But the X7 is like Jeep building a cheap little Sports Car. Sure it's rather interesting, but it's not keeping with the Brand. That makes it wrong. I know a couple guys that quite like their X7 rifles. Bully for them. But I'd most likely kill the line. Marlin is owned by Remington and Remington already has cheap bolt actions, so there is no need come compete within the company family. Of course, Marlin's not had to have a Recall on these that I am aware of or remember, so I don't know for sure… I'd have to look at the numbers. What do know though, is that I hate the X7. The stock feels cheap and flimsy and I just hate it. I'd perhaps ask Hogue to make a strong OEM stock for it, or look at a Laminate Wood option. This will of course raise the cost – but it would be a huge improvement. So I'd either have other stocks or I'd kill the line. Simple as that on the X7. Done.
The XLR series of rifles… Marlin's longer range lever guns. You can get them in .308MX, .338MX, or .30-30. There is a note on the web page that says it's also coming (in 2007) in .35 Remington. But I've yet to see that. I'd also like to see a .45-70 and .444 Marlin versions as well. These need the 24/7 rail, like what comes on the 1895 SBL. This rail should be on the XLR's since everyone who buys them puts a scope on them. The longer 24/7 scope rail would allow more and better scope options for the rifle. It only makes sense to include it.
That brings us to the 1895 SBL. This is one of my favorite guns. The only problem is that it's Stainless. Or I should say, that it's ONLY in Stainless. There should be the option for one in Blue. Don't you think?
Since Marlin doesn't make one, I made one. This was the 1895GBL. But the GBL doesn't come with that 24/7 Rail like the SBL has. This is an oversight that. I'm not all about railing up all the guns – but this rail for the 1895's just makes too much sense. You can then use what ever scope up want and mount it where you like. These SBL and GBL rifles should also be available in .444 Marlin and .35 Remington. Again, it only makes sense to offer these guns in more calibers. Not everyone wants .45-70.
Marlin used to offer a 16″ version… And I shot one.
I called it a "Guide Gun", which is wrong… It had another name but I forget. But it was factory direct like that. That option needs to come back.
I would like to see an even bigger version of the Guide Gun. In .50 Caliber. The best .50 round that could work is the .500 S&W Magnum. This would require some resizing of the action – Something you are not wanting to do, but it needs to be done. Slightly larger and a lot stronger. Every option in the 1895 line should be available here. Including SBL's and GBL's. The guns would chamber both the .500 S&W Magnum and the .460 Magnum. Right now people who want one bad enough are shelling out over 2400 bucks to have one custom made – This is money Marlin could be making. If some company no one ever heard of is doing this – Marlin could be doing it too. Excuses are too late. This is why I had all the prior execs fired. Don't tell me it can't be done. Do it. Just Fricken Make It Happen, you lazy, slackwits. People will buy it. Because for 9 years people were constantly asking for it. So what if it would costs 1400 bucks per rifle – People would buy it.
This brings us to the 336 family. Again, the 24/7 Rail and Big Loop combo should be offered. There should also be a 16″ Barreled version. Before, there was a 16, in the 336Y model, which I can't find anymore. The 20″ barrel is fine, but some people like them to be shorter. Basically I want the same options in the 1895 line as in the 336 line. .30-30, .308MX, .338MX, and .35 Remington should all have homes in all versions of the 336.
The Cowboy series has 2 guns. One in .30-30, and one in .45-70. Where are the other calibers? And why is the .30-30 so short? Where's the long barreled option? It needs to 26″. The .45-70 option is a bit disappointing. Where is the classic tang mounted aperture sight? The Cowboy Gun needs a stepped up version for the Cowboy Action competitions. Those guys take their shooting seriously and to attract them in greater numbers, let's do a 30″ barreled version, with Brass buttplate and end caps. A "Quigley" variant, if you will.
The 39A is a Classic. But it's long and heavy and from spending 9 years behind a gun counter, selling these to young fathers for their young boys and girls… It's a bit too heavy. Shortening the barrel down to 16 inches and offering it with a lighter weight synthetic stock as an option would really help that. So a light and short youth version is required. The 39Y. And since some guys like me like Carbines, a 39C, with a 16″ barrel. Now, let's also offer a Stainless Steel version of the A and C guns, and call them simply the AS and CS.
The 39 series also needs to have a Magnum version. Call it the 49 series, with all the options as in the 39. .22 Magnum and .17HMR. Don't tell me it can't be done. Henry, Winchester, and Browning made them. Henry still does. And let's do a special edition 49 Cowboy. Because that would just be amazing.
The 1894 line. First off… There needs to be the SBL version that was in the 2011 Catalog but never really made. It's time to make it. Also, like as I said with the 336 line, the 1894 Line needs to have all calibers available in all versions. Where is the .45 Colt option? Over there in the Cowboy version. That's it? What jackoff said that it can only be in the Cowboy? He better have his desk cleared off. .38/.357, .44 Mag/Special, .45 Colt/Casull.
(Forgive my sloppy PhotoChop) Legacy, Rossi and Henry are doing Mare's Legs. Where is Marlin's? 12 to 13 inches. Also, as a factory option, offer the Mare's Leg with a full sized rifle stock for the guys that want to turn them into a Short Barreled Rifle. Hell, we'd just throw the stock in the box with it. We'd have to come up with a different name… Bounty Hunter and Mare's Leg are both taken. Maybe call it the "Outlaw", or "Rustler". And of course, make it available in all caliber options. Top it with that 24/7 Rail and a Red Dot, I'd call mine the Borderland Pistol, or the Jacob Pistol. Stainless and Grey or Blued and Laminate Brown Wood.
The internals on all the Levers I've seen have been HIDEOUS. I've had to disassemble every Marlin I've ever owned and hand finished and polished the internals as best as I could. Every time. Why? This should be done on every gun before it leaves the factory. Reason? Because the Marlin name is on every rifle that leaves the factory. I've had gouges and burrs on Internal Operating parts. On the levers. Ive had bolt's so rough I thought they were threaded. The inside areas of these 1895's, 336's, and 39's have all been drastically unfinished. It's as if you were digging the metal out like you were carving a canoe out of a log. It's tragic. It's a failure. It needs to be addressed. For the love of all that is holy – Can't you jackwagon's just deburr the inside of the loading ports? I've cut myself on them more than once.
And where is a Centerfire Takedown Lever Action? Taylors and Wild West Guns can make them – Where's Marlin's Take Down? The 39A takes down… Come on now, let's get with the program.
What do you say Remington? Pay me 200 grand a year and give me a bull horn and a Chainsaw… I'll have people lining up to buy Marlins.

CANTON, MA (September 20, 2016) – Dunkin' Donuts today opened its 12,000th restaurant worldwide, in the Greater Los Angeles area at 4922 La Sierra Avenue in Riverside, California. With this milestone location, Dunkin' Donuts continues its steady and strategic westward expansion, opening more than 30 new restaurants in California with plans for about 300 new locations total to be developed in the state over the coming years.
"We now have 12,000 Dunkin' Donuts restaurants around the world, with tremendous opportunities for continued growth both domestically and internationally. We and our franchisees are proud of the fact that Dunkin' Donuts has become part of the daily ritual of millions of people who depend on us for great coffee and other beverages, baked goods and sandwiches," said Nigel Travis, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Dunkin' Brands. "Looking ahead, we plan to keep growing and innovating, bringing customers the Dunkin' Donuts products they love, as well as new offerings like our Cold Brew coffee and new Dunkin' Mobile App, which allows members of our DD Perks Rewards Program to place their order in advance with On-the-Go Ordering."
The new Dunkin' Donuts location in Riverside is owned and operated by franchisee Parag Patel, who opened two Southern California Dunkin' Donuts this summer in Villa Park and Yorba Linda. The Patel family has been a part of the Dunkin' Donuts franchisee community since establishing their first Maryland location in 1989. Patel's extensive experience in the restaurant industry and personal connection to Dunkin' Donuts continues to inspire his West Coast expansion efforts as he plans to open about 20 new Riverside and Orange County locations in the coming years.
"Each new restaurant we open is just as exciting as the first. My family has a strong connection to Dunkin' Donuts and we are honored that our newest location is the 12,000th Dunkin' Donuts in the world. Most importantly, we are excited to bring Dunkin' Donuts' famous coffee, baked goods and other delicious products, along with our fast and friendly service, to guests here in Riverside," said Patel. "The Southern California community has been more than welcoming, and we look forward to sharing our love for the Dunkin' Donuts brand with our new guests!"
Dunkin' Donuts is committed to being an integral member of the communities it becomes a part of and focuses on supporting local causes dedicated to taking care of sick and hungry children. To help in this effort, the restaurant's grand opening ribbon cutting ceremony will include a $500 check presentation to both the Make A Wish Foundation: Orange County and The Inland Empire and the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Redlands-Riverside. Local dignitaries from the community will also be invited to join the ceremony and welcome Dunkin' Donuts to Riverside.

I've been doing this site for a long time, and one of the biggest complaints I've seen is "Why isn't the 70's Ozzy era available on iTunes?" Well, it actually has been in the UK/Europe for awhile, but not in the United States/North America. I'll have a sidenote on the US vs UK stuff later on, but suffice it to say, as of Jan 14, 2014 – FINALLY – the Ozzy era albums are available in the US iTunes store as of right now.
Available right now for digital purchase are the following albums:
- Black Sabbath (1970)
- Paranoid
- Master of Reality
- Volume 4
- Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
- Sabotage
- Technical Ecstasy
- Never Say Die!
- Collection: "Complete Studio Albums: 1970-1978"
I see iTunes also lists the 2006 single disc Greatest Hits album, which I am pretty sure wasn't there before today, either. Although, truth be told, I wouldn't bother with that. If you're buying these things digitally, get the real albums, and not a compilation like that. Just a personal opinion.
Now this release brings up a few questions. I'll try and address the questions I have myself, and the ones I've seen with what I know.
What mastering is this?
The Sabbath catalogue has been remastered several times over the years. As I've written about before, there are two sets of masters. One for the US (Warner/Rhino), and one for everywhere else (Vertigo/Castle/Universal). Anyway, If you go to the info pages for the individual albums, they say something like this (the year obviously being different for the relevant albums..
(c) 1970 Warner Bros. Marketed by Rhino Entertainment, a Warner Music Group Company.
This tells me that we are NOT using the mastering source that was used in the 2009 Remasters that Universal put out over a year or two where the first three albums were deluxe editions (and all of the albums from 1980 onwards that have been released as well). This is likely the same mastering source that was used in the 2004 Black Box set. That set has been out of print now for about two years or so, and it appears this has been released digitally.
Now, they're marked on iTunes under the "Mastered for iTunes", which means that a mastering was done that is supposedly more compatible with the kind of data compression that Apple uses for its iTunes digital download. Apple has a page on their site with additional information on that program if you care to read more about it.
But the bottom line is I believe this is the same remastering work done in 2002 by Warner/Rhino. That remastering work produced three pieces of output. The 2002 2CD compilation, "Symptom of the Universe: The Original Black Sabbath: 1970-1978", the 2004 Box Set, "Black Box: The Complete Black Sabbath 1970-1978", and the 2006 CD compilation "Greatest Hits: 1970-1978". I suspect some massaging was done to prep them for iTunes, but I do NOT believe a complete full remaster was done here. If I find out anything different, then I'll update this story.
Sabbath Email & "Worldwide".
Black Sabbath's official mailing list put out a short email with this verbiage. It says..
"The full catalogue from the original Black Sabbath line up has now been mastered specifically for iTunes, ensuring the delivery of the music to listeners with increased audio fidelity, more closely replicating what the artists, recording engineers, and producers intended. Available exclusively on the iTunes Store worldwide."
That is slightly deceptive. It's not a LIE mind you, but… If you look up the same albums in the European iTunes store, you get a different output. Here is why. If you go to the listing for the first Sabbath album, the copyright there is:
(c) 2013 Sanctuary Records Group, Ltd.
That is the copyright used for the Universal/Vertigo/Castle set of remasters that is the "other" source. Additionally, these albums have been available on the European iTunes store for awhile now, so the release there today is not really new as such.
So it's technically correct for that press release to say it is available on the iTunes store worldwide, it is NOT correct that they're using the same remastering and output. The European version too is "Mastered for iTunes", but the underlying mastering source likely is NOT the same. This would be the one done in 2008/2009 by Universal.
Additionally, the "Complete Studio Albums" collection is NOT available outside of the US/North America. That's a regional restriction. Again, Warner/Rhino vs Vertigo/Castle/Universal.
Complete Albums?
The formal name of this package is "Complete Studio Albums 1970-1978". Is it REALLY complete, though? That depends on how you look at it. There's a couple of omissions if you compare this to the Black Box set from 2004 that this is seemingly drawn from. The two things that are missing are:
- The track "Evil Woman" from the first album
- All of the content from the 9th bonus disc
The 9th disc on the physical media box set was a DVD, and had the old Beat Club video footage on it. So in that regard, it's not TECHNICALLY an omission from the albums as such, but.. Evil Woman is definitely missing. Most people won't notice this, but if you look at the cover art, you'll see an obvious attempt to make it look like Black Box:
Positive / Good Stuff
I don't want you to read this, and take away from it that I hate it or something. I don't. I think it's great this is finally available. It should have been available ages ago, but it is here now, and if for some reason you are reading this, and DON'T have these albums, you should go buy this.
Specifically, what I would buy would be the "Complete Studio Albums" package. It's $59.99, and covers the eight 70's era Black Sabbath studio albums. This is the best the Warner remaster series has ever sounded, and the value is really darned good. The albums are all sold individually too, for $9.99 each. There's eight of them, so if you buy the complete package at once, you save $20. That's a great price for all these songs. One minor thing there – some tracks cannot be purchased on their own, they have to be bought with the full album – why I don't know.
If you go through the official link they give (http://www.itunes.com/blacksabbath), you it does have links to all the other Black Sabbath material available in your region of the world, which is mostly all the Dio era material and some other bits and bobs. If you are in Europe also includes the deluxe/2CD remastered versions that I mentioned earlier. The only things left not available are the Tony Martin/IRS albums, which I've written about elsewhere.
This is a good day! Ozzy era Black Sabbath's material is FINALLY available on the iTunes store in the US/North America. Go get it if you don't have it.
If you have any questions that I didn't cover above, please leave them in the comments, I'll get them into this article if I can get an answer.
P.S.: Background Info on Record Label Stuff
(I wrote this next section for an article I wrote on the remastered versions of the Tony Martin era Black Sabbath albums (which are still coming – eventually). This part of that article is relevant, so I'm reproducing it here.
Before I get to the Tony Martin stuff in detail, there's a few background bits I should probably touch on. As I pointed out in the intro, the existing Deluxe/remaster series from Universal from 2009-2011 covered from Black Sabbath (album) to Eternal Idol.
Back when Black Sabbath signed a record deal back in 1970, it was with Warner Bros in the United States, and Vertigo in UK/Europe/World. Warner Bros had its own set of masters for the albums, and Vertigo (later Castle, later Universal) had their own set. Each of the companies could not sell their products in the territory of the other (unless something was licensed). This original contract ended after 1987, when Tony signed with IRS for Headless Cross.
- This is why 2004's Black Box & 2008's "Rules of Hell" were not sold outside of US/North America.
- This is why the 2009-2011 Universal Deluxe CD/Remaster series was not sold in US/North America, at least not domestically.
It is also the reason why we see a lot of greatest hits packages, and fans get all bent out of shape about it. I frequently hear "How many times can the band release that?" Well, most of the time, the band doesn't. It's a record label thing most of the time. Lets look at the various compilations (the major ones anyway, I know there's more)…
- 1975's "We Sold Our Soul" – Band sponsored, came out on both Warner & Vertigo
- 1995's "Between Heaven & Hell" – Castle, Europe
- 1996's "The Sabbath Stones" – IRS, Europe
- 2002's "Symptom of the Universe" – Warner, USA
- 2004's "Black Box" – Warner, USA
- 2006's "Greatest Hits 1970-1978" – Warner, USA
- 2007's "The Dio Years" – Warner/Rhino, USA
- 2008's "The Rules of Hell" – Warner/Rhino, USA
- 2009's "Greatest Hits" – Universal, Europe
- 2012's "Iron Man: Best of Black Sabbath" – Universal, Europe
So when you're talking about these kinds of releases, you have to take this into account as to why it's not available in certain places. At least not domestically. You can always get things imported, but it's always more expensive that way.
This is all relevant, because it is the reason why Universal stopped at "The Eternal Idol". They didn't have rights to release the subsequent albums in the catalogue, those being:
- 1989's Headless Cross
- 1990's Tyr
- 1994's Cross Purposes
- 1995's Cross Purposes Live
- 1995's Forbidden
- 1996's The Sabbath Stones
These were all on the IRS contract that Tony Iommi signed for Black Sabbath in 1988, and as far as I know, the rights to these albums reverted to Tony at some point in the years after all these went out of print. Now technically, 1992's Dehumanizer was an IRS release as well. However, Dehumanizer has some special situations. If you were around when that all happened, Dio was signed to Warner Brothers for the "Dio band" contract. They apparently needed some coaxing to let Ronnie out of his Dio contract to go back to Black Sabbath. So to appease Warner, they were given distribution rights to Dehumanizer in the US/North America, and IRS retained rights to Dehumanizer everywhere else. In 1992, it came out on Warner's "Reprise" label. Now I don't know all the nitty gritty, but it was this "special case" that allowed Dehumanizer to come out in the 2009-2011 Universal remaster series. I don't know what the specific contract clause was, but that's what happened to allow that specific one to come out.
The other IRS albums do not have this, and as such would require a totally new contract to be signed for them to be remastered and re-released.

Ketubot 32 - 38
A Fate Worse Than Death
A punishment worse than death? Yes, says the Sage Rav. Chanania, Mishael and Azariah were the three Jewish heroes who defied the order of the Babylonian ruler Nebuchadnetzar to bow to the statue he had erected even though it meant being cast into a fiery furnace. "We shall not serve your god nor bow to the golden statue which you have erected," they boldly declared before being thrown to a flaming death from which they were miraculously saved (Daniel 3:18). Had these same three heroes been subjected to the torture of beatings, says Rav, they would have bowed to the statue.
Our gemara cites this statement of Rav as a challenge to the assumption that the punishment of death meted out by a court is worse than the punishment of lashes. This challenge is summarily dismissed by distinguishing between the fixed amount of lashes given by the court and the endless beatings inflicted by an enemy bent on breaking his prisoner.
But Rav's statement about the limited heroism of Chanania, Mishael and Azariah comes under close analysis by Tosefot. The gemara's account of Rabbi Akiva's martyrdom (Mesechta Berachot) seems to suggest that where martyrdom is required it is even in the face of torture. When the Romans ripped his flesh with iron rakes, he told his disciples that he finally had an opportunity to realize his lifelong ambition to fulfill the Torah command to love Hashem "with all your soul" which means even giving up your life. If Rabbi Akiva considered himself bound to retain his faith in the face of torture worse than lashes, why does Rav conclude that those three heroes would have succumbed to idol worship for fear of lashes?
Tosefot cites the explanation of Rabbeinu Tam that the statue of Nebuchadnetzar was not really an idol to be worshipped, only an instrument for paying homage to the king. This is indicated in the aforementioned declaration of the three heroes which distinguishes between serving the king's god and bowing to his statue. There was therefore no obligation for martyrdom. They were willing to give up their lives, however, because there was an element of "kiddush Hashem" -- sanctification of Hashem's Name -- in their action. For this, however, they would not have endured endless beatings.
Although Tosefot does not clarify why there was a "kiddush Hashem" involved in their action, we do find an explanation in the words of Nimukei Yosef at the end of Mesechta Sanhedrin. Although it is wrong for an ordinary Jew to be a martyr where it is not required by law, it is proper for a pious leader to do so when he feels that he will thus strengthen his generation. Since most Jews mistakenly assumed that the statue was an idol and thus became weakened in their abhorrence of idolatry, it was a "kiddush Hashem" for the three heroes to sacrifice their lives in order to counteract this trend.
Ketubot 33b
The Price of Meat
A man borrows a cow and dies before returning it. His children, assuming that the cow belonged to their father and passed on to them as an inheritance, slaughter the cow and eat its flesh. When they discover their error, are they required to pay for the loss they caused to the cow's owner?
Yes, says the Sage Rava, but not the total value of the meat -- only as much as they would have paid to purchase meat at a cheap price.
This ruling of Rava is difficult to understand. If we consider the children responsible for damage caused even without intention, then why should they not be required to pay the full value of the cow? If lack of intention exempts them from responsibility, why should they be compelled to pay anything?
This ruling of Rava is cited by Tosefot (Bava Kama 27b) as proof that although the Torah made a person responsible for damage he causes without any intent, there is no responsibility when the matter is completely beyond his control. Another example is that cited in the above gemara of a man breaking the vessel of another while walking in the street in the darkness of night.
Since we cannot hold these children responsible for the damage caused in circumstances totally beyond their control, the only claim the cow's owner can have to them is that they derived benefit from his animal. This benefit, says the gemara (Bava Batra 146b) is calculated at only two thirds of the value of the meat they ate. The logic for this, explains Rashbam (ibid.), is that we assume that had they been aware that they would be required to pay for the meat, they would have refrained from indulging in this pleasure. But if they would have been able to purchase such meat at a reduction of one third, we assume that they would have been glad to do so, and this is the sum which is therefore considered the benefit they derived and which they are required to repay.
Rashi adds one footnote to the payment responsibility of these innocent heirs: If the skin of the animal is still around they must return it in its entirety to the original owner.

Easy dinner recipes: Chicken, chicken ... and more chicken!
Why is chicken so popular? Well, it cooks pretty quickly. And depending on the what you buy, it can be both flavorful and diet-friendly. It's versatile -- you can combine it with almost any flavor combination. Perhaps best of all? It's easy. Roast a whole chicken, or pick up your favorite pieces to cook on their own. Chicken doesn't have to be complicated.
Take braised chicken with capers (pictured). It's dinner in a skillet: Pan-braised chicken and new potatoes, flavored with tart capers and shallot and brightened with hints of sherry vinegar and lemon. And the whole meal comes together in less than an hour.
Or how about chicken adobo? In this Filipino take from chef Andre Guerrero, chicken pieces are simmered in a fragrant blend of soy sauce, garlic, cider vinegar, black pepper and bay leaves. When the chicken is tender, the sauce is reduced, then tossed again with the chicken before serving. It's a wonderfully rich yet simple dish, perfect served alongside a simple salad or side -- Guerrero recommends jasmine rice -- and it comes together in only an hour.

Total time: 55 minutes
Servings: 4
1 pound new potatoes
8 skinless, bone-in chicken thighs (6 to 7 ounces each)
Freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 shallot, finely chopped
1/4 cup salt-packed capers, rinsed and coarsely chopped
3/4 cup chicken broth
1 tablespoon sherry vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 tablespoons chives, cut into 1-inch pieces
1. Clean and quarter the potatoes. Place them in a bowl of cold water and set aside.
2. Wash the chicken under cold running water and pat dry with paper towels. Remove excess fat and season each piece with a pinch each of salt and pepper.
3. Heat the oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Quickly sear the chicken thighs until browned on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes per side; taking care as the chicken will splatter and adjusting the heat as necessary. Remove the browned chicken to a plate.
4. Drain the potatoes and pat dry with paper towels. Add them to the hot skillet, cut side down, and cook until lightly browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove them to a plate and cover to keep warm.
5. Add the shallot and capers to the skillet and quickly sauté, about 1 minute. Stir in the chicken broth, vinegar and lemon juice, scraping up any browned bits in the bottom of the pan.
6. Add the chicken back to the pan, and bring to a gentle simmer. Cover with a tight-fitting lid. Cook the chicken until tender and a thermometer inserted into the meat reads 165 degrees, about 25 to 30 minutes. Add the browned potatoes to the pan during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
7. Arrange the chicken and potatoes on a platter. Taste the sauce to check the seasoning, then bring to a simmer and cook for an additional minute. Spoon the sauce over the chicken, and sprinkle with the chives. Serve immediately.

Note: Adapted from Andre Guerrero of Marché, Boho and the Oinkster. Guerrero serves this with steamed jasmine rice.
1 (3 1/2 pound) whole chicken
12 whole cloves garlic
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon coarsely ground black pepper
4 dried bay leaves
1. Cut the chicken into 10 pieces: breasts, wings, thighs and legs, cutting the breast pieces in half. Place the chicken pieces into a large lidded Dutch oven or casserole. Add the garlic, vinegar, soy sauce, pepper and bay leaves.
2. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce to medium-low, cover and simmer until the chicken is thoroughly cooked (the meat will be firm, the juices will run clear, and a thermometer inserted will read 165 degrees), about 25 minutes. Turn the chicken halfway through for even cooking.
3. Remove the cooked chicken pieces from the sauce and set aside on a plate. Continue to cook the sauce until it's reduced to about 1 cup, about 10 minutes.
4. Strain the sauce, then add the chicken back to the sauce and toss to coat completely, before moving to a serving platter.

Kitchen tips: How to cut up a chicken and more!
Total time: 1 hour, 10 minutes
Servings: 6
Note: Adapted from "Ad Hoc at Home" by Thomas Keller with Dave Cruz.
3 large fennel bulbs
12 chicken thighs
Kosher salt
Canola oil
1 cup coarsely chopped onion
1 tablespoon finely chopped garlic
3/4 cup dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
1 cup Ascolane or other large green olives, such as Cerignola
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
4 fresh or 2 dried bay leaves
4 strips lemon zest, removed with a vegetable peeler
8 thyme sprigs
1 cup chicken broth
About 1/4 cup flat-leaf parsley leaves
1. Cut off the fennel stalks. Trim the bottom of the bulbs and peel back the layers until you reach the core; reserve the core for another use. Discard any bruised layers, and cut the fennel into 2-by-1/2-inch batons. You need 3 cups of fennel for this recipe; reserve any remaining fennel for another use.
2. Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Set a cooling rack on a baking sheet.
3. Season the chicken thighs on both sides with a pinch of salt. Heat a thin layer of canola oil in a large ovenproof sauté or roasting pan that will hold all the thighs in one layer over medium-high heat. Add the thighs skin side down and lightly brown, 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the heat of the oil in the pan. Turn the thighs over and cook for about 1 minute to sear the meat. Transfer to the cooling rack.
4. Reduce the heat to medium-low, add the onion to the pan, and cook for 1 1/2 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for 1 minute. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the fennel, turn the heat up to medium and cook, stirring often, until the fennel is crisp-tender, about 10 minutes.
5. Pour in the wine and simmer for about 2 minutes to burn off the alcohol. Stir in the olives, red pepper flakes, bay leaves, lemon zest and thyme, then pour in the chicken broth. Increase the heat, bring the liquid to a simmer, and cook until the fennel is tender, about 1 minute.
6. Taste the broth and season with salt as needed. Return the chicken to the pan, skin side up, in a single layer. When the liquid returns to a simmer, transfer to the oven and cook for about 20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through.

- Manual contains methodology for ten specific work blocks in "Phase 2" (on-site inspection) of the asset quality review (AQR).
- Key work blocks include the review of processes, policies and accounting, credit file review and collateral value appraisal, and review of level 3 fair value assets (see Annex for a description of all ten work blocks).
The European Central Bank (ECB) has today published its manual on the methodology for Phase 2 of the AQR. The manual provides guidance for the national competent authorities (NCAs) and their third-party support on carrying out the exercise.
Phase 2 follows the portfolio selection (Phase 1) and will run until August 2014. The AQR process is due for completion in October when the results will be released together with the results of the stress test conducted in cooperation with the European Banking Authority.
The manual includes detailed guidance on:
- procedures for validating data and checking model inputs;
- how to value material exposures and collateral and determine provisioning needs;
- processes for quality assurance and progress tracking to ensure timely completion;
- when to use independent, external valuations for assets;
- the use of industry benchmarks to assess market values.
The AQR is a key component of the comprehensive assessment, which aims to enhance the transparency of the balance sheets of significant banks, trigger balance sheet repair where necessary, and rebuild investor confidence prior to the ECB taking over its supervisory tasks in November 2014.
Below are some key statistics of Phase 2 for the 128 banks subject to the comprehensive assessment.
- Total amount of risk weighted assets (RWA) of the portfolios selected for the review: €3.72 trillionequivalent to 58% of total RWA across the banks
- Estimated number of credit files reviewed on average per bank: 1,250

Annex – AQR execution phase
Working block | Description | |
1 | Processes, policies and accounting review | Bank processes, policies and accounting practices have a key impact on the carrying values of assets in banks' balance sheets and so must be reviewed. The review will cover the key topics that influence accounting balance sheet valuations. Such key topics include whether a bank correctly applies the fair value hierarchy, accounting classifications (e.g. available for sale), provisioning approach, treatment of non-performing exposures and forbearance. |
2 | Loan tape creation and data integrity validation | The credit analysis will be based on a "loan tape" provided by the bank. This loan tape includes account information such as segment classification, status, and credit performance data. The data must be of sufficient quality to perform the required analysis. |
3 | Sampling | The portfolios reviewed exceed 50% of risk weighted assets for all banks subject to the comprehensive assessment. Given the volume of analysis involved, it is not possible to review all exposures in the selected portfolio. Samples will therefore be taken, whereby specifics (such as loan classification and provisioning) of a particular credit (i.e. loans, advances, commitments or other off-balance sheet exposure) will be looked at in detail. The samples chosen must be both large and representative enough to allow for a robust analysis. The size of the sample will depend on the homogeneity of the portfolio, the risk of the portfolio, the total number of debtors and the level of debtor concentration. |
4 | Credit file review | National competent authority (NCA) bank teams will verify that credit exposures have been correctly classified (e.g. placed in the correct regulatory segment, non-performing loan status, impairment status) and that, if a specific provision is required, it has been set at an appropriate level. The credit file review work block will also be used to identify cases where a loss event trigger has not been hit, but a loss is more likely than not. For these cases, the expected future loss will be measured for incorporation into the stress test. The credit file reviews will cover all loans, advances, financial leases and other off-balance sheet items, including specialised asset finance such as shipping and project finance. |
5 | Collateral and real estate valuation | A key factor in determining the appropriate carrying amounts is the valuation of collateral or on-balance sheet real estate. Generally, the majority of collateral will be revalued for all debtors selected in the sampling that do not have a third-party valuation less than one year old. This will be carried out by NCA bank teams and will feed into other blocks of the exercise. |
6 | Projection of findings of the credit file review | Findings of the credit file review will then be projected to the wider portfolio, with the aim of assessing the adequacy of provisions. Projection of findings will be applied to homogeneous exposure pools (in line with audit guidelines). |
7 | Collective provision analysis | Smaller, homogeneous, impaired exposures are typically provisioned using a collective provisioning approach – that is, a point-in-time statistical model of incurred loss. Similarly, general provisions are usually set using collective models for the whole portfolio. In order to verify that provisioning levels are appropriate, it is critical to ensure that collective provisioning models are fully aligned with the letter and spirit of accounting rules (International Accounting Standards (IAS) 39 or national generally accepted accounting principles). |
8 | Level 3 fair value exposures review | For banks with material level 3 exposures, a thorough revaluation of the most important exposures will be carried out on a selective basis – i.e. not all banks will be analysed. For banks with material level 3 banking book exposure, a revaluation of the most important securities will be carried out. For the banks with the most important trading books, a qualitative review of trading book core processes (independent price verification, product approval, etc.) will be carried out, combined with a quantitative review of the most important derivative pricing models (measured by metrics such as level 3 gross mark-to-market) from a level 3 perspective. It is expected that, in most cases, fewer than ten derivative pricing models will be reviewed for each bank included in the trading book review, depending on the size of the bank's exposure to level 3 derivatives. Some banks included in the trading book review will have no relevant level 3 derivative pricing models to review. |
9 | Determine AQR-adjusted [ |
Banks are only expected to change the 2013 certified accounts in the unlikely event that the AQR highlights issues that should lead to restatement according to local law, e.g. identification of accounting irregularities. Banks will be expected to reflect findings from the AQR in their accounts, where found necessary in the relevant accounting period in 2014 following the AQR. For example, banks may be expected to: - correct specific provisions for individually impaired credit facilities that were sampled in the file review; - correct specific provisions for collectively impaired credit facilities, where the bank's collective provisioning model is considered as missing crucial aspects required in accounting rules (in this case, banks would be expected to correct internal models and policies); - create a credit valuation adjustment for derivatives. Other findings from the AQR will not be included in 2014 accounts, as they do not explicitly comply with accounting rules (e.g. they do not relate to incurred losses). These include the extrapolation of findings from sampled files to the wider portfolio. Together with the stress test findings, such AQR findings will form the basis for supervisory measures requiring banks to cover potential capital shortfalls. In order to correctly account for all additional incurred losses identified within the previous work blocks, an "AQR-adjusted CET1 ratio" will be calculated for each bank. This AQR-adjusted CET1 ratio (which is calculated according to the single rule book of 1 January 2014) will be used to compute the final stress test outcomes. Banks will neither be required to restate accounts nor to apply the AQR assumptions on an ongoing basis. The AQR-adjusted CET1% is not a de-facto alternative accounting standard. |
10 | Quality assurance | The NCA bank teams are responsible for all results delivered to the ECB and should apply a four-eyes principle to ensure the quality of the exercise at the national level. This quality assurance at the national level will not be led by the ECB, which will focus on ensuring cross-system consistency and a level playing field across systems on completion of the comprehensive assessment. |

Why We're Partnering With TMF Group
At The Executive Centre we're highly strategic about our expansion, we grow where our Members need us and in markets where we can best serve our community. Currently we operate 115+ centres in 30 cities throughout Asia Pacific, covering Greater China, India, Australia, Singapore, Japan and more, and will soon launch in the Middle East. Similarly, multinational professional services firm TMF Group provides accounting, tax, HR and payroll services to businesses operating on an international scale and has 125 offices in 83 jurisdictions. Given the global outlook of both TEC and TMF Group, this partnership aims to enrich the experiences and opportunities available to our community.
Who is TMF Group?
TMF Group helps its clients operate internationally and 'belong' wherever they are in the world, they do this by making sure they are properly set up to do business in any country and compliant with local and international regulations. Their work includes helping companies of all sizes with business services such as HR and payroll, accounting and tax, corporate secretarial, global governance and administration services for structured finance, private equity and real estate investments. In today's environment, increasing business complexity means that a one size approach doesn't fit all - and the penalties for getting it wrong are getting heavier. Operating in over 80 jurisdictions we provide our 15,000 clients with on-the-ground compliance and administration services so they can venture further.
A Productive Partnership
With globalisation comes opportunity, but as with any opportunity there are always challenges and barriers to entry. Successfully expanding a business and entering new markets, or to that end, maintaining growth in an established, competitive market, there lies an ever-present need for efficiency and differentiation. TEC and TMF Group are closely aligned in terms of their strategic approach to Member experiences and in terms of the industries we both service and the scope of our product offering. At the core of the TEC ethos is a commitment to supporting growth opportunities for our Members, and TMF Group share this ambition with a specific focus on helping facilitate effective operations, and establishing a presence in new markets.
This partnership covers a very similar global network, and we view this a truly unique opportunity for our Members. Thun Lee, TMF Group's Head of China explains, "This is an active, cross-referral partnership where teams from both companies will share about offerings and added value that the partnership brings to increase client satisfaction. We want to show that we're different from our competitors who purely focus on performing a service." TEC supports Members through state-of-the-art spaces, unparalleled working environments and access to its global community. TMF Group delivers the support of independent, local experts with the assurance of global standards. Their flexible service structure and range of business services can anticipate the needs of Members in many different contexts.
Members gathered at Two Chinachem Central in Hong Kong to hear from Judy Chu, Director and Head of Accounting & Tax Services for TMF Group Hong Kong.
Answering The Challenges Of Compliance
At an event in our Two Chinachem Central Centre in Hong Kong , Judy Chu, Director and Head of Accounting & Tax Services for TMF Group Hong Kong led Members through a detailed and thoughtful presentation on the scope of services and expertise available. At the heart of what TMF Group can provide is an overarching commitment to simplifying complex regulations by drawing on local knowledge. Acknowledging that compliance can present varying challenges from one market to another, it is critical to have the right support. Reporting on APAC specific trends, Judy recognises that compliance is increasingly complex and in near constant flux. For example, Hong Kong introduced new tax measures in October 2017, while China continues to monitor global trends to remain competitive, meaning that local knowledge is essential for compliance. The Financial Complexity Index is published annually by TMF Group and explores the ease with which companies can deal with taxes, adhere to reporting requirements, maintain company accounts, and deal with cross-border transactions across more than 90 countries. China, APAC's largest economy is ranked the most complex jurisdiction in the world although it is a significant market for both The Executive Centre and our Members. Similarly, with a new Executive Centre launching soon in Dubai, TMF Group reports that the UAE is also becoming more difficult in terms of compliance thanks to the introduction of VAT, inline with Gulf-wide treaty obligations. In short, TMF Group can provide a global service agreement, consistent service and straightforward communication that will help Members across these regions and more.
A TMF Group representative will be embedded in our China Centre's for the remainder of the year to help Member's with specific enquiries.
TMF Group At Your Executive Centre
TMF Group will take space in selected centres across China for the remainder of the year. They will be able to speak with Members directly, and there will also be a hotline established for our Beijing Members to call for support and advice. The partnership works both to help facilitate entry into the China landscape, as well as to provide our TEC Members with access to industry insights. TMF Group is also committing to a preferred rate for TEC Members because of this partnership.
In the rest of our network, TMF Group will be partnering with TEC to host a series of workshops and events. Details of these events are available via our online forum or by contacting your local Engagement Manager. We can also put any of our Members in direct contact with a TMF Group representative who is best placed to assist them.

Paul says that we must all, preachers and other people alike, "appear before the judgment seat of Christ." But if you will learn here and now to live under the scrutiny of Christ's pure light, your final judgment will bring you only delight in seeing the work God has done in you. Live constantly reminding yourself of the judgment seat of Christ, and walk in the knowledge of the holiness He has given you. Tolerating a wrong attitude toward another person causes you to follow the spirit of the devil, no matter how saintly you are. One carnal judgment of another person only serves the purposes of hell in you. Bring it immediately into the light and confess, "Oh, Lord, I have been guilty there." If you don't, your heart will become hardened through and through. One of the penalties of sin is our acceptance of it. It is not only God who punishes for sin, but sin establishes itself in the sinner and takes its toll. No struggling or praying will enable you to stop doing certain things, and the penalty of sin is that you gradually get used to it, until you finally come to the place where you no longer even realize that it is sin. No power, except the power that comes from being filled with the Holy Spirit, can change or prevent the inherent consequences of sin.
"If we walk in the light as He is in the light…" (1 John 1:7). For many of us, walking in the light means walking according to the standard we have set up for another person. The deadliest attitude of the Pharisees that we exhibit today is not hypocrisy but that which comes from unconsciously living a lie.

This page describes the concept and use of roles in chart data tables.
What Are Roles?
Google DataTable and DataView objects now support explicitly assigned column roles. A column role describes the purpose of the data in that column: for example, a column might hold data describing tooltip text, data point annotations, or uncertainty indicators. Most column roles apply to the 'data' column preceding it, whether it is immediately before it or before the first of a consecutive group of role columns. For example, you could have two columns following a 'data' column, one for 'tooltip' and one for 'annotation'. But following the 'domain' column, we also generally allow the 'annotation' and 'annotationText' column roles.
Note: if you're looking to control the content of the tooltips that appear when the user hovers over a chart, see Tooltips.
Originally, there were only two roles available for a column: 'domain', which specifies the major axis values; and 'data', which specifies bar heights, pie slice widths, and so on. These roles were assigned implicitly, based on the order and type of the columns in the table. However, with the ability to explicitly assign column roles, you can now add optional columns that provide new, interesting features to a chart such as arbitrary annotation labels, hovertext, and uncertainty bars.
If you do not explicitly assign a column's role, its role is inferred by the column's order in the table, according to the chart's data format specification. This page will show you what roles are available for you to explicitly assign, and how to assign them.
Here is a comparison of what you can do with a line chart using only the default, inferred roles, compared to additional, explicitly assigned roles.
Line chart data table format:
Column 0 | Column 1 | ... | Column N | |
Purpose |
Line 1 values | ... | Line N values |
Data Type |
number | ... | number |
Role | domain | data | ... | data |
Optional supported column roles |
... |
Chart Without Explicit Column Roles | Chart With Explicit Column Roles |
This chart does not apply roles explicitly, and so can only use the basic data and domain column layout shown above. DataTable: var data = new google.visualization.DataTable(); data.addColumn('string', 'Month'); // Implicit domain label col. data.addColumn('number', 'Sales'); // Implicit series 1 data col. data.addRows([ ['April',1000], ['May', 1170], ['June', 660], ['July', 1030] ]); |
This chart assigns roles explicitly, and so the optional columns can be added. This chart has optional columns for annotation, annotationText, interval, and certainty roles.
DataTable: var data = new google.visualization.DataTable(); data.addColumn('string', 'Month'); // Implicit domain label col. data.addColumn('number', 'Sales'); // Implicit series 1 data col. data.addColumn({type:'number', role:'interval'}); // interval role col. data.addColumn({type:'number', role:'interval'}); // interval role col. data.addColumn({type:'string', role:'annotation'}); // annotation role col. data.addColumn({type:'string', role:'annotationText'}); // annotationText col. data.addColumn({type:'boolean',role:'certainty'}); // certainty col. data.addRows([ ['April',1000, 900, 1100, 'A','Stolen data', true], ['May', 1170, 1000, 1200, 'B','Coffee spill', true], ['June', 660, 550, 800, 'C','Wumpus attack', true], ['July', 1030, null, null, null, null, false] ]); |
What Roles Are Available?
The following table lists all the roles suported by Google Charts. Not all roles are supported by all chart types; each chart's documentation will describe which roles are available, and where they go. Roles are rendered differently for different chart types.
Role | Description | Example |
annotation | Text to display on the chart near the associated data point. The text displays without any user interaction. Annotations and annotation text can be assigned to both data points and categories (axis labels). There are two styles of annotations: point (default), which draws the
annotation text near the specified point, and line, which draws the annotation text
on a line that bisects the chart area. You can specify the line style
by setting this chart option: Data type: string Default: Empty string |
Data: label: 'Year', 'Sales', null, null, 'Expenses', null, null
role: domain, data, annotation, annotationText, data, annotation, annotationText
'2004', 1000, null, null, 400, null, null
'2005', 1170, null, null, 460, 'A', 'Develop new model'
'2006', 660, 'B', 'New model launched', 1120, null, null
'2007', 1030, null, null, 540, null, null
The 'A' and 'B' in this chart are annotations. Hover over the annotation to see the annotation text. Note that you must hover over the annotation, not the data point to which it is applied, to display the annotationText value. Null values are accepted for both annotation and annotationText cells; however, if you have an annotationText value, you must have an associated annotation value. |
annotationText | Extended text to display when the user hovers over the associated annotation. Annotations and annotation text can be assigned to both data points and categories (axis labels). If you have an annotationText column, you must also have an annotation column. Tooltip text, in contrast, is displayed when the user hovers over the associated data point on the chart. Data type: string Default: Empty string |
certainty | Indicates whether a data point is certain or not. How this is displayed depends on the chart type—for example, it might be indicated by dashed lines or a striped fill. For line and area charts, the segment between two data points is certain if and only if both data points are certain. Data type: boolean, where true is certain, false is uncertain. Default: true |
emphasis | Emphasizes specified chart data points. Displayed as a thick line and/or large point. For line and area charts, the segment between two data points is emphasized if and only if both data points are emphasized. Data type: boolean Default: false |
Data: label: 'Year', 'Sales', null, 'Expenses', null role: domain, data, emphasis, data, emphasis '2004', 1000, true, 400, false '2005', 1170, true, 460, true '2006', 660, false, 1120, true '2007', 1030, false, 540, true In this chart, the 'Sales' series has one emphasized segment, designated by column three, rows one and two. The 'Expenses' series has two emphasized segments, designated by the fifth column, rows two, three, and four. Note how emphasis requires both bounding points to be emphasized. |
interval | Indicates potential data range for a specific point. Intervals are usually displayed as I-bar style range indicators. Interval columns are numeric columns; add interval columns in pairs, marking the low and high value of the bar. Interval values should be added in increasing value, from left to right. Data type: number Default: No interval |
Data: label: 'Day', 'Stock value', null, null role: domain, data, interval, interval 'Mon', 38, 20, 45 'Tue', 55, 31, 66 'Wed', 77, 50, 80 'Thurs', 66, 50, 77 In this chart, the interval values define an I-bar surrounding the points. The values increase from left to right. The highest and lowest intervals around a point mark the top and bottom of the bar. Note: for all the details on intervals see Intervals. |
scope | Indicates whether a point is in or out of scope. If a point is out of scope, it is visually de-emphasized. For line and area charts, the segment between two data points is in scope if either endpoint is in scope. Data type: boolean, where true means in scope. Default: true |
Data: label: 'Year', 'Sales', null, 'Expenses', null role: domain, data, scope, data, scope '2004', 1000, false, 400, true '2005', 1170, false, 460, false '2006', 660, true, 1120, false '2007', 1030, true, 540, false The first scope column applies to the 'Sales' data column to its left. The first segment is rendered out of scope because both boundary points are out of scope. The second scope column applies to the 'Expenses' data column to its left. The first segment is marked as in-scope because one of its boundary points is in scope; the rest of the line is out of scope because all other points are marked as out of scope. |
style |
Styles certain properties of different aspects of your data. Those values are:
Data Type: string, where multiple styles can be applied using a
Default: null |
Data: label: 'Character', 'Popularity', 'Style', role: domain, data, style, 'Hulk', 50, 'color: green', 'Captain America', 75, 'color: #0000cf;' + 'stroke-color: #cf001d', 'Wolverine', 90, 'opacity: 0.5;' + 'stroke-width: 5;' + 'stroke-color: #01a0ff;' + 'fill-color: #fff600', 'Iron Man', 60, 'color: #db9500;' + 'stroke-width: 10;' + 'stroke-color: #a30300', 'Spider Man', 100, 'bar {' + 'fill-color: #c8001d;' + 'stroke-width: 3;' + 'stroke-color: #1800c8}'
In this chart, each bar is styled independent of the others using the Note: more details are documented elsewhere on how to customize the style of points, lines, and bars. Also see options for each type of chart where styles can be specified for other kinds of entities, such as areas, text, and boxes. |
tooltip |
Text to display when the user hovers over the data point associated with this row. Note: this is not supported by the Bubble Chart visualization. The content of Bubble Chart HTML tooltips is not customizable. Data type: string Default: Data point value |
Data: label: 'Year', 'Sales', null, 'Expenses', null role: domain, data, tooltip, data, tooltip '2004', 1000, '1M$ sales, 400, '$0.4M expenses in 2004' in 2004' '2005', 1170, '1.17M$ sales, 460, '$0.46M expenses in 2005' in 2005' '2006', 660, '.66$ sales, 1120, '$1.12M expenses in 2006' in 2006' '2007', 1030, '1.03M$ sales, 540, '$0.54M expenses in 2007' in 2007' Hover over the data points to display tooltip text. Tooltip data is assigned to all points in both lines, in columns 3 and 5. Note: for more details on customizing tooltips, see Tooltips. |
domain | You should not need to assign this role explicitly unless designing a multi-domain chart (shown here); the basic format of the data table enables the charting engine to infer which columns are domain columns. However, you should be aware of which columns are domain columns so that you know which other columns can modify it. Domain columns specify labels along the major axis of the chart. Multiple domain columns can sometimes be used to support multiple scales within the same chart. Data type: Usually string, but occasionally number or date |
Data: label: '2009, '2009, '2009, '2008, '2008 '2008 Quarter', Sales', Expenses', Quarter', Sales', Expenses' role: domain, data, data, domain, data, data 'Q1/09', 1000, 400, 'Q1/08', 800, 300 'Q2/09', 1170, 460, 'Q2/08', 750, 400 'Q3/09', 660, 1120, 'Q3/08', 700, 540 'Q4/09', 1030, 540, 'Q4/08', 820, 620 This example demonstrates a multi-domain chart. The first two data columns modify the first domain ("2009 Quarter"), and the last two data columns modify the second domain ("2008 Quarter"). Both domains are overlaid on the same axis scales. |
data | You should not need to assign this role explicitly; the basic format of the data table enables the charting engine to infer which columns are domain columns. However, you should be aware of which columns are data columns so that you know which other columns can modify it. Data role columns specify series data to render in the chart. For most charts, one column = one series, but this can vary by chart type (for example, scatter charts require two data columns for the first series, and an additional one for each additional series; candlestick charts require four data columns for each series). Data type: number |
Role Hierarchy and Associativity
The following diagram shows which role columns can apply to which other role columns. All columns except domain columns apply to the nearest left neighbor to which it can be applied.
So, for example, a scope column applies to the nearest data column on its left; an annotationText column will apply to the nearest annotation column to its left; an annotation will apply to the nearest data or domain column to its left.
Assigning a Role
Roles are assigned as a property of the column in a DataTable object. There are several ways to create a role column, but here are the most common:
The first two techniques draw the following chart:
DataTable.addColumn Method
The following example creates a bar chart with an interval marker on three of the bars. The interval markers are specified by the third and fourth columns using the DataTable.addColumn() method.
var data = new google.visualization.DataTable();
data.addColumn('string', 'Month'); // Implicit domain column.
data.addColumn('number', 'Sales'); // Implicit data column.
data.addColumn({type:'number', role:'interval'});
data.addColumn({type:'number', role:'interval'});
data.addColumn('number', 'Expenses');
['April',1000, 900, 1100, 400],
['May', 1170, 1000, 1200, 460],
['June', 660, 550, 800, 1120],
['July', 1030, , , 540]
var chart = new google.visualization.BarChart(
{width: 800, height: 600, title: 'Company Performance'});
JavaScript Literal Notation
In JSON literal, you must specify a p
property of the column with the value "role":"role-type"
The following example demonstrates how to specify roles using JavaScript literal
notation. This can only be done at table creation time.
{"cols":[ {"id":"","label":"Month","pattern":"","type":"string"}, {"id":"","label":"Sales","pattern":"","type":"number"}, {"id":"","label":"","pattern":"","type":"number","p":{"role":"interval"}}, {"id":"","label":"","pattern":"","type":"number","p":{"role":"interval"}}, {"id":"","label":"Expenses","pattern":"","type":"number"}], "rows":[ {"c":[ {"v":"April","f":null}, {"v":1000,"f":null}, {"v":900,"f":null}, {"v":1100,"f":null}, {"v":400,"f":null}]}, {"c":[ {"v":"May","f":null}, {"v":1170,"f":null}, {"v":1000,"f":null}, {"v":1200,"f":null}, {"v":460,"f":null}]}, {"c":[{"v":"June","f":null}, {"v":660,"f":null}, {"v":550,"f":null}, {"v":800,"f":null}, {"v":1120,"f":null}]}, {"c":[ {"v":"July","f":null}, {"v":1030,"f":null}, {"v":null,"f":null}, {"v":null,"f":null}, {"v":540,"f":null}]}], "p":null }
DataView.setColumns Method
When creating a view, you can explicitly set the role of a column. This is useful when creating a new calculated column. See DataView.setColumns()
for more information.
