Ampere v3.17 [Mod]
Requirements: 4.0.3+
Overview: Did you ever felt, that one Charger/USB cable set charges your device really fast and the other not? Now, you can prove this with Ampere.
Measure the charging and discharging current of your battery.
PRO features:
- Widgets
- Notification
- Alerts on device
- Alerts on Android Wear
The app works on Android 4.0.3+ devices. Not every device is supported because there are devices which lacks an appropriate measurement chip (or the interface) and they can not be supported at all. Please read the list of not supported phones at the end of the description.
The app is not meant to be mA accurate. It is only good for evaluate which Charger/USB cable combo is working the best for you on the same device.
Start the app and wait ca. 10 seconds ("measuring" is on the display). After this time, the charging or discharging current will be shown.
The current depends on many things:
- Charger (USB/AC/Wireless)
- USB cable
- Phone type
- Current tasks running
- Display brightness
- WiFi state
- GPS state
Please don't use the readings on this app as concrete science. However, the readings are good enough to relatively measure how various chargers and USB cables fair on the same device.
If the app shows 0mA all the time, please use the settings option "Old measurement method". You can force the app with it to use the old measurement interface, if the Lollipop device has at least one.
Unfortunately some Samsung devices don't give correct (measured) values (e.g.: S5), just the maximum possible charging current with the actual USB cable/charger configuration. This is a firmware problem.
Background info: The app measures the charging/discharging current of the battery. If your phone is not connected to a charger, you see the discharging current which is negative. If you connect a charger then the current what the charger gives will be used to supply your phone and the remaining power will be charged into the battery.
If your phone consumes 300 mA without a charger connected (-300mA on the display), then a 500 mA charger will charge your battery maximum with 200 mA current (200mA on display).
Technical info: The displayed current is an average value from 50 measurements minus the 10 upper values and the 10 lower values. The displayed current can be shaky or unstable or even zero which means, that the Android system provides unstable values. Every company uses different battery types and other hardware making it difficult to get accurate results about your charger.
LiPo batteries don't draw the maximum for the full time it takes to charge the phone. If your battery is charged almost full then the charging current will be much less as by lower battery levels.
- A graph explaining LiPo charge stages: http://batteryuniversity.com/_img/content/ion1.jpg
- Dave's (EEVBlog) LiPo Charging Tutorial: http://youtu.be/A6mKd5_-abk
Phones/ROMS compatible only with "Old measurement method" switched on and selected the right "Measurement interface":
➤ HTC One M7 / M8
Phones/ROMS reported to be not working with this app:
➤ Galaxy Grand Prime - fortuna3gdtv
➤ Galaxy Note2 - t03g, t03gchn, t03gchnduos, t03gcmcc, t03gctc, t03gcuduos
➤ Galaxy S3 - d2att, d2spr, d2vmu
➤ Galaxy Tab4 7.0 - degas3g
➤ HTC Desire 510 - htc_a11ul8x26
➤ HTC One S (ville), X (endeavoru), XL (evita)
➤ HTC Sensation 4G - pyramid
Please do not give wrong rating, if your phone is one of the above. Not the app is wrong, but your phone does not support this kind of measurement yet.
If the app doesn't work on your device with pre-Lollipop Android version, then please read the first and the second posts in this XDA developer forum thread: http://goo.gl/pZqJg8 . Please post your problem with screenshots in the XDA thread.
Please read also the FAQ: http://goo.gl/R8XgXX

Improved Textures
I solved the problem I was having with Harley's tights by reducing the opacity on the textures layer. I'm still playing with colour, especially the hair, I like the idea of it being a dirty blonde shade. Although one section of her should be brighter than the rest to add some visual interest, it has worked on other characters such as croc and Ivy. Something on her needs to stand out either the shorts or her hair.
Colouring Croc
I found that layering the scales in shadows or places where the body would naturally curve, helps to create depth.
I changed his design slightly since pre production. I liked that he was curved and had a smooth edge because it made him sympathetic to the female characters. I've made him slightly thicker in the chest so that he looks stronger. I also started playing with colour schemes. He is reptilic so I looked a lizard colourings. I kept to the darker more alligator colour scheme than anything too bright as he is supposed to be dark and menacing. I then played with different scaly textures. I think the lighter green attempt is the most successful. I think it is in keeping with the colour scheme I already have.

Problems with textures
One of the main issues I was encountering with this character was having her hair turn from red to green as it becomes vines. I tried a gradient layer style over the hair texture, I think its the most successful solution so far.
Im still struggling with the colour palette and textures. I think the colours here could work well in the line up with Harley, both characters have fairly dull colour pallets but then occassionaly there is some bright colour. In Ivy's case its her skin, In Harley's case its her hair and eyes. Also the joker will have bright sections of his suit and cat woman has bright either yellow or green eyes to contrast with her black suit.

Harley Textures
Harley seems to be a lot harder to colour than other characters because she has so many small parts and a lot of different textures. I feel the most successful one here is the vinyl on the boots. The hardest part is getting the textures so that they look right proportionally. An example is the fishnet tights as they are a pattern. If the pattern is too big it won't look appropriate.
Some much needed photoshop practice
I changed Ivy's head shape after completing another turnaround project where I found it challenging to actually turn a character around and draw from lots of angles. I tried to draw my characters from different sides and poses during post production. I needed practice with using textures and I needed to finally decide on colours. I also tried lens flares and filers, as well as layer styles. I think the layer styles were the most affective.

Photoshop colouring Practice
I finally coloured the quick drawing I did of myself a few months back. I'm struggling in photoshop so I thought I could use it to practice colouring as it is a simple design. Also I would like a customised banner for my blog and this could be a good place to start.
Saturday, 12 February 2011
I like this flat graphic style with the single green outline. especially against the red hair. I think however it maybe to flat as my character design is for Stop motion puppets, so I think this colouring style is not appropriate for this.
Im still deciding on what colours to settle on for Ivy. When Emily and Maddy looked at the colour tests I had done they liked the ones that had the natural human skin tone rather than the green. They said when the skin was green, even though I was using different shades, there was too much green and the character was looking flat. So, when I came to experiment with textures today this is the colour scheme I focused on.

- "It is well to remember that the entire population of the universe, with one trifling exception, is composed of others." _Andrew J. Holmes
One of the most counter-intuitive and difficult disciplines of life is to put yourself in the other person's shoes before acting.
However, it is also one of the most rewarding practices.
Putting yourself in the other person's shoes doesn't mean you will necessarily change what you do or say, but it almost certainly will change the way you do something or how you say it.
Your cause may be righteous; you task noble; but it you approach life like a bull in a china shop, taking no thought or consideration for the other person, the collateral damage will eat up all your profit.
The ONE THING for today: Before taking an action, ask yourself, "How will this affect the other person?"
Proverbs 25:15 (NLT)
Patience can persuade a prince, and soft speech can break bones.

Imam Abdur-Rahman As Sa'di attends the tea party Narrated by Shaykh Abdur Razzaq Al Badr
The following is a summary translation
Shaykh Abdur Razzaq Al Badr:
If the person sees his daughters or his little ones playing with toys, he should sit with them sometimes.
Shaykh Abdur Rahman As Sa'di—may Allah have mercy upon him; once his young daughter—young at that time—and her friend who was her age, were in the courtyard of the home. And he was a major scholar, and judge, and Imam and lecturer. He was going to leave from the home and there was his daughter and a young girl her age playing with these toys. And they had made up a skit as though they were in a room, pretending that some things were tea and coffee and they sat playing as girls play. When he wanted to leave the other young girl—not the daughter of the Shaykh—said to him: 'Why don't you visit us?' He replied: 'Tomorrow inshaAllah I will visit you.'
So when he wanted to exit he came to the house and stood at the door and knocked on the door and he called his daughter's friend by her name. She opened the door and said: 'Please enter.' So he came and sat with them in their spot. They sat and pretended to give him coffee and they spoke with him and told him about their toys, and then he stood.
When he wanted to stand his daughter said to him: 'You have not been my guest.' He replied: 'Tomorrow I will be your guest.' The next day he came and knocked on the door and he called his daughter by her name and she opened the door and said: 'Please enter.' He entered this room and sat with them and he humored them and he conversed with them.
This doesn't take more than three or four minutes from a person. And his daughter cheerfully narrates this now in one of the books, and she is an adult now. This occurred once in her youth but it brought about tremendous happiness for her.
Thus a person should not be neglectful of these affairs. When he sees his daughters he gives them some of his time; four minutes, five minutes, at most ten minutes; but it will do a lot in the heart of the young one.

Hypervelocity Stars
by Dave Mosher
The more we look among the stars and galaxies, the weirder things seem to get.
Even space itself is puzzling, for example. Recent studies suggest that the fabric of the universe stretches more than 150 billion light-years across -- in spite of the fact that the cosmos is 13.7 billion years old.
From super-fast stars to the nature of matter, here we cover other strange and mysterious elements of the universe.
10. Hypervelocity Stars
If you've ever gazed at the night sky, you've probably wished upon a shooting star (which are really meteors).
But shooting stars do exist, and they're as rare as one in 100 million.
In 2005, astronomers discovered the first "hypervelocity" star careening out of a galaxy at nearly 530 miles per second (10 times faster than ordinary star movement).
We have ideas about what flings these rare stars into deep space, but aren't certain; anything from off-kilter supernova explosions to supermassive black holes might be responsible.

TOP 10 STRANGEST THINGS IN THE UNIVERSE: Black Holes
by Dave Mosher
9. Black Holes
Speaking of black holes, what could be stranger?
Beyond a black hole's gravitational border -- or event horizon -- neither matter nor light can escape. Astrophysicists think dying stars about three to 20 times the mass of the sun can form these strange objects. At the center of galaxies, black holes about 10,000 to 18 billion times heavier than the sun are thought to exist, enlarged by gobbling up gas, dust, stars and small black holes.
What about mid-sized types? Perhaps surprisingly, evidence is both scarce and questionable for their existence.

TOP 10 STRANGEST THINGS IN THE UNIVERSE: Magnetars
by Dave Mosher
8. Magnetars
The sun spins about once every 25 days, gradually deforming its magnetic field.
Well, imagine a dying star heavier than the sun collapsing into a wad of matter just a dozen miles in diameter.
Like a spinning ballerina pulling his or her arms inward, this change in size spins the neutron star -- and its magnetic field -- out of control.
Calculations show these objects possess temporary magnetic fields about one million billion times stronger than the Earth's. That's powerful enough to destroy your credit card from hundreds of thousands of miles away, and deform atoms into ultra-thin cylinders.

TOP 10 STRANGEST THINGS IN THE UNIVERSE: Neutrinos
by Dave Mosher
7. Neutrinos
Pull out a dime from your pocket and hold it up for a second... guess what? About 150 billion tiny, nearly massless particles called neutrinos just passed through it as though it didn't even exist.
Scientists have found that they originate in stars (living or exploding), nuclear material and from the Big Bang. The elementary particles come in three "flavors" and, stranger still, seem to disappear on a whim.
Because neutrinos occasionally do interact with "normal" matter such as water and mineral oil, scientists hope they can use them as a revolutionary telescope to see beyond parts of the universe obscured by dust and gas.

TOP 10 STRANGEST THINGS IN THE UNIVERSE: Dark Matter
by Dave Mosher
6. Dark Matter
If you put all of the energy and matter of the cosmos into a pie and divvy it up, the result is shocking.
All of the galaxies, stars, planets, comets, asteroids, dust, gas and particles account for just 4 percent of the known universe. Most of what we call "matter" -- about 23 percent of the universe -- is invisible to human eyes and instruments.
For now.
Scientists can see dark matter's gravitational tug on stars and galaxies, but are searching feverishly for ways to detect it first-hand. They think particles similar to neutrinos yet far more massive could be the mysterious, unseen stuff.

TOP 10 STRANGEST THINGS IN THE UNIVERSE: Planets
by Dave Mosher
4. Planets
It might sound strange because we live on one, but planets are some of the more mysterious members of the universe.
So far, no theory can fully explain how disks of gas and dust around stars form planets -- particularly rocky ones.
Not making matters easier is the fact that most of a planet is concealed beneath its surface. Advanced gadgetry can offer clues of what lies beneath, but we have heavily explored only a few planets in the solar system.
Only in 1999 was the first planet outside of our celestial neighborhood detected, and in November 2008 the first bona fide exoplanet images taken.

TOP 10 STRANGEST THINGS IN THE UNIVERSE: Gravity
by Dave Mosher
3. Gravity
The force that helps stars ignite, planets stay together and objects orbit is one of the most pervasive yet weakest in the cosmos
Scientists have fine-tuned just about every equation and model to describe and predict gravity, yet its source within matter remains a complete and utter mystery.
Some think infinitesimal particles called gravitons exude the force in all matter, but whether or not they could ever be detected is questionable.
Still, a massive hunt is on for major shake-ups in the universe called gravitational waves. If detected (perhaps from a merger of black holes), Albert Einstein's concept that the universe has a "fabric" of spacetime would be on solid ground.

TOP 10 STRANGEST THINGS IN THE UNIVERSE: The Universe
by Dave Mosher
1. The Universe
The source of energy, matter and the universe itself is the ultimate mystery of, well, the universe.
Based on a widespread afterglow called the cosmic microwave background (and other evidence), scientists think that the cosmos formed from a "Big Bang" -- an incomprehensible expansion of energy from an ultra-hot, ultra-dense state.
Describing time before the event, however, may be impossible.
Still, atom smasher searches for particles that formed shortly after the Big Bang could shed new light on the universe's mysterious existence -- and make it a bit less strange than it is today.

Occult That which cannot be seen or must be hidden, in modern usage, "New

Sacrifice To give something up. In Wicca, we sacrifice Wine, food,
money, trinkets, stones and time, but never, ever anything living.
Sickle The sickle is used to cut sacred herbs at certain moonphases. It
represents "Cronehood" and is often given to a menopausal covener as a
recognition of a new life phase. I think the modern usage of the sickle as
the "Grim Reaper's" tool makes this a bit too morbid, but many feminist
Wiccans disagree. Used instead of: Bolline, Atham�.
Sigil A personal seal or emblem with a punch of power, Seals of Gods and
dead Mages are also in common usage.
Skyclad Clad naked.
Smudge In European practices, herbs were thrown on the fire to produce
clouds of scented smoke. Smudge, which is either a bundle of herbs for
burning or the ash of sacred herbs used for anointing, is borrowed from
Native American Practices and can usually be held in the hand instead of
thrown on a fire. For a nice change, burn rosemary instead of the traditional
sage or sweetgrass. Stick incense can be used as burning smudge, it'll do in
a pinch, but the ash is fairly worthless. Used instead of :Censer, oil.
Spiral The motion in and out of life, The double spiral, the double helix,
Staff The staff is a very important tool in some traditions. It is used to
mark quarter points or as a "stang" to hold banners representing elements or
other unique symbolic flags. The staff may be used in much the same manner
as the wand. It is usually matched "to your measure"- which means it reaches
to your shoulder- making it easy and comfortable for you to handle without
either knocking yourself upside the head or having it trip you up from
behind. Any such incident will amuse your friends, but do little to enhance
your image in the magickal community!
Summerland The place where we rest after death, between incarnations.
Sword With the coming of the modern "Celtic Revival", the sword has become
a very popular-and quite showy- magickal tool. It can used in place of, or in
addition to, the athame. Most groups who hold rituals indoors usually limit
the use of the sword to just one for the Priest/Priestess. Ten five- foot
swords in a small room could get a bit messy! However at festivals and
outdoor rituals, Wiccans often bring their own swords to mark the boundaries
or quarter points of the circle.
Talisman Charm: Something worn with a Magickal property. Religious: A
Symbol or item sacred for religious reasons. Totemic: A relic of your
family/clan's animal protector or your animal guide.
Thurible or incense burner A container used to contain a hot coal for
burning incense. This is best made from a fire resistant or fire proof
material. The most common are the "mini-cauldrons' of iron and the various
brass types which come in wonderful shapes and sizes. Some even hang on a
chain. The incense itself represents the element of Air while the fire
(charcoal) represents Fire. The combination of these two elements are used to
purify ritual areas, other tools or the circle itself.
Tradition A sect or division within Paganism/Wicca/Magick. The use of
tradition as "sect" is not a new use, nor is "new tradition" an oxymoron.
Underworld Hel, Hades, the "waiting room" of the after life.
Vibes Feelings off of someone/something..."good vibes" "bad vibes."
Warlock What you never call a male Wiccan. It means "Oath-breaker."
Webweaving "Witchy" and Feminist term for Networking
Witch War A dispute between coven leaders, very often silly things with
episodes of "I'm gonna ward you right off this plane." No real,
self-respecting Wiccan over the age of four participates in one.

The Village of West Jefferson continues to grow.
In this case, growing in property, taking into consideration the acquisition of land at Monday evening's village council meeting. The main topic of conversation centered around several points of annexation.
Council passed three resolutions dealing with the annexation of land and went into executive session for a portion of the meeting to discuss the selling of another section of land.
One of the resolutions was for the village to enter into a pre-annexation agreement for Project Maple, one of West Jefferson's development projects.
Council President Steve Johnston said that the details of the Project Maple are not yet public.
"This hasn't come before us yet and hasn't even gone through the county commissioners review," Johnston said. "This is just the first step in a long process." The property is 205.514 acres along Rt. 40.
The other annexations include two parcels of land belonging to the Fluke family. Council voted to accept the application for annexation of a combined total of more than 500 acres of land.
"These parcels that are getting annexed are farmland and will remain farmland," said Johnston. "The move was requested by the Fluke family who farms the properties near U.S. 42."
In other regular meeting action, council:
• Approved a resolution authorizing the Public Service Director to contract with M&M Farms to have sediment and grit removed from the equalization basin at the wastewater treatment plant at a cost not to exceed $20,000.
• Approved a resolution authorizing the Police Chief to purchase the Computer Assisted Dispatch System for $84,997.
• Passed an ordinance authorizing the supplemental appropriation of $29,000 in the general fund which will go toward the retirement payout of West Jefferson Police Lt. Gary McNeal.
• Approved the establishment of a part-time village administrative assistant and setting the pay range.
• Approved a donation of $3,000 to the West Jefferson Community Association for the 2018 Ox Roast Festival.

Who should believe the testimonials on a website? You should. Here are a few recent ones from Trip Advisor.
"Exceeded expectations !"
My wife planned a trip to Oahu and through the Hotel ( Trump Hotel ) we were staying at she contracted Blue Hawaii Photo Tours for a 2 day photo tour (an all day and a sunset tour). I am a photography enthusiast and was super excited about Hawaii and the photo tours, wasn't sure what to expect really. Here are the highlights of the tour:
1) Marie and Evan were super friendly and made the tour much more enjoyable
2) The tour is carefully planned for the best locations and lighting possible, so no matter what you are not getting a bad shot. Trust me.
3) The transportation was first class
4) Marie and Evan were super accommodating to my preferences and shooting style
5) I not only took some fantastic pictures, but I also learned many new tricks. Every step of the way they were leading the way for best spots, composition and camera settings
In the end I am super grateful my wife found them and I would do this again a million times, super worth it. Don't miss the opportunity.

"Great way to spend the day!!"
I found Marie during my first visit to Hawaii when I did the Sunset Tour. This time I was fortunate to be able to do a Private Tour for the full day with my wife and daughter. The tour is listed as a photo tour but it is so much more. The tour feels like you have a friend on the island showing you around to different places of interest and giving you an amazing amount of information about the island. You don't have to be a photographer to enjoy this tour. My wife's photography interest and skills are limited to what she can take with her iPhone. Marie's knowledge of photography includes how to get the most out of your iPhone photos. We gave our five year old daughter a point and shoot camera to use on the tour and she had a great time shooting pictures. I had my DSLR and Marie helped me work through my settings and helped with post production ideas. There is something for everyone on the trip and Marie was adaptable to show us places we wanted to see.

This tour is more than taking some photos, you actually learn about the history of Hawaii too. Which gives meaning to your photos. I did learn some great tips which helped to improve my photography but the easy nature of the tours made it an enjoyable experience. From water to bug spray, tripods, everything has been thought out. I booked the sunrise tour and enjoyed it so much, I then booked the sunset tour too. Highly recommend and book with confidence. Mahalo Marie & Evan

Let me preface this post by saying that I did not grow up in a military family, and have no idea the emotions that people go through when their loved ones deploy. However, I can say that after spending some time with this family less than a week before Mike deployed gave me some serious insight and amplified my appreciation for our military.
Elizabeth, a past co-worker of mine, orchestrated this session for her family as a gift before Mike deployed. It was raining when we got to Fort Monroe, but held off long enough to get some great shots of them all together.

The DI-AA men's college semifinal between Central Florida and Dartmouth is a study in contrasts.
UCF is a
classic club team – hard-working, under-funded, squeezing in finals around
rugby games.
Thursday evening they had just finished raising the final few dollars to travel to Bowling Green and play in the final four. Some players were coming out of exams to do so.
Meanwhile Dartmouth, while still a club team made up of players who have to balance tough classwork and playing rugby at a high level, are better funded, have a full-time coach, and are a big deal on campus.
They will face off against each other this weekend.
"We feel good going into this," said UCF club president Jason Ross. "We're not worried about any of the teams we play. We can't worry about that or school or money. We just go out and play our game."
Central Florida have won by being very physical. They have a number of big, strong athletes who can also run. They are not afraid to impose their will on a game.
"We have guys with size, but the forwards can also move," said Ross. "As a team we've come together in all aspects of this season. We're a strong unit, and we play like it."
Meanwhile Dartmouth has found themselves sometimes hoping for a bit of magic. They were pushed very hard by Pitt (42-34) and St. Bonaventure (30-22), but eked it out both times.
Central to their effort has been sophomore Madison Hughes, who kicked ten
points in the quarterfinal win over Bonnies. He's a superb runner and
kicker, but, said Head Coach Gavin Hickie, not the only player playing
"A lot of our seniors are getting ready for their final weekend of 15s rugby, and they've done really well," Hickie said. "Quinn Connell has stepped in as captain after Michael Burbank couldn't play. Justin Ciambella has scored some clutch tries for us. Someone like Owen Scannell, who isn't always a starter but is the guy getting kids to training, supporting the club, is huge."
Front-row seniors Matt Robinson and Lawrence Anfo-Whyte, and senior forwards Shea Smith and Simon Greenberg are also in for a big weekend, while senior center Garrett Wymore plays his final weekend, as well.
These two teams match up in interesting ways. For the most part, Dartmouth has to be considered to be faster, fitter, and with a stronger kicking game. UCF has to be thought of as bigger, and more physical, and a team with nothing to lose.
Dartmouth is not a surprise team in these semifinals, while UCF is. UCF
would love to keep surprising people.

According to section 145(3) of Income Tax Act,1961(herein short referred to as 'the Act'), where the Assessing Officer(AO) is not satisfied about the correctness or completeness of the accounts of the assessee, or where the method of accounting provided in sub-section (1)[to section 145] has not been regularly followed by the assessee, or income has not been computed in accordance with the standards notified under sub-section (2)[to section 145], the AO may make an assessment in the manner provided in section 144 of the Act.
Manyatimes, AO increases the gross profit rate as declared by an assessee, for one reason or another, which becomes the point of litigation.
In CIT vs. Vijay Constructions [(2007) 213 CTR All 105], the Allahabad High Court has held that the rate of profit cannot be assumed, merely on assumptions or surmises and conjectures. It is the first liability of the assessee to produce such records, evidence/material so as to substantiate its plea about the rate of profit that he claims and in case the books of account have been rejected, then the onus shifts upon the AO to determine the rate of profit on consideration of the material which may be brought before him or even on making such enquiry, which may be necessary, which may include the requirement of having any information from the assessee also during the course of determination of such rate of profit, namely, during the assessment proceedings.
Recently, in Pharmalab Engineering India Private Limited vs. ACIT [I.T.A. No. 999/Mum/2014, decided on 22.06.2016], it has been held by Mumbai ITAT that mere fall in the gross profit ratio, in the absence of any cogent reasons could not be a ground to hold that the proper income could not be deduced from the audited accounts maintained by the assessee and the book results ought to be rejected, and consequently gross profit margin rate of preceding years be applied to the sales of the instant assessment year under appeal.
In ACIT vs. Sitalamata Oil Mill Pvt. Ltd. And Vice-Versa [I.T.A No.2317/Kol/2013,decided on 1 January, 2015], the Kolkata ITAT has held that when the books of accounts are not available and estimating the gross profit is to be resorted to, the situation prevailing in the industry has to be taken in account.
In CIT vs. Smt. Poonam Rani [(2010) 326 ITR 223 (Delhi)], it has been held that the fall in gross profit ratio, in the absence of any cogent reasons could not, by itself, have been a ground to hold that proper income of the assessee cannot be deduced from the accounts maintained by her and consequently, could not have been a ground to reject the accounts invoking Section 145(3) of the Act.
The fall in gross profit ratio could be for various reasons such as increase in the cost of raw material, decrease in the market price of finished product, increase in the cost of processing by the assessee etc.
The Chandigarh ITAT has held in Universal Woollen Mills vs. CIT, Ludhiana [ITA No. 616/Chd/2013] that mere fact that the profits were low as compared to the earlier year, by itself is no ground to make addition against the assessee.
In CIT vs. Jas Jack Elegance Exports [(2010) 324 ITR 95 (Delhi)], the respondent/assessee filed return showing income of Rs.49,40,500/- for the A.Y.2004-2005. The return was picked up for scrutiny and notice under section 143(2) of the Act was issued to the assessee. The assessee firm was engaged in the business of manufacturing and export of readymade garments and had declared gross profit @ 12.08% during the A.Y.2004- 2005 as against gross profit of 12.37% declared by it for the A.Y. 2003-2004 and gross profit of 17.58% declared for the A.Y.2002-2003. The assessee claimed that the fall in gross profit ratio was due to reduction in margin, in order to increase sales. The assessee was asked to produce Books of Account and relevant registers. The Books of Account as well as certain vouchers were produced, but, the stock register was not produced, claiming that no such register was being maintained. The assessee had claimed fabrication charges amounting to Rs.37,54,215, finishing & dyeing charges amounting to Rs.25,00,989 and embroidery expenses of Rs.55,85,683/-, details of which were furnished to the AO. It was asked to produce the parties to whom charges amounting to Rs.20,000/- or more were paid on account of fabrication, embroidery, finishing & dyeing. The assessee, however, did not produce any of those parties on the ground that it had closed down its business and was not in contact with any of them. The AO rejected the Books of Account produced by the assessee and computed income of the assessee, taking the gross profit ratio at 17.58%, which was the gross profit percentage declared for the A.Y.2002-2003. Addition of Rs.24,40,898/- was, accordingly, made by the AO.
On first appeal for CIT(Appeals) filed by the assessee, it was pointed out that no defect in the accounts books was found by the AO and the gross profit rate for the assessment year in question was almost similar to the gross profit rate declared in the immediate preceding year. CIT(A) noted that the Books of Account of the assessee were audited and no discrepancy in those books had been pointed out by the AO. He held that the gross profit ratio assumed by the AO was vitiated, since the Department itself had accepted gross profit ratio of 12.37% in the immediate preceding year and the principle of continuity and consistency had been ignored. Relying upon the decision of Punjab & Haryana High Court in CIT vs. Om Overseas (2008) 173 Taxman 185 (P&H) and CIT vs. Ludhiana Steel Roll Mills (2007) 295 ITR 111 (P&H), it was held that estimation of gross profit on the basis of gross profit ratio declared by the assessee two years ago, was not justified. Accordingly, the addition made by the AO was deleted.
On further appeal, while dismissing the appeal filed by the Revenue against the order of CIT(A), the Tribunal noted that the AO had not found any defect in the books of accounts maintained by the assessee. The Tribunal was of the view that maintenance of Stock Register, which shows consumption of raw material and production of finished goods by applying the same measurement was not feasible, considering the nature of the business of the assessee. It was further noted that the fabric was measured in meters and was thereafter stitched to make garments which have to be counted in pieces. The Tribunal also pointed out that the AO had not been able to point out any difference in the consumption of raw material and production of finished goods, when compared to the earlier years. The Tribunal, therefore, concluded that the finding recorded by CIT(Appeals) was on the right footing.
On appeal before the Delhi High Court, it observed that as regards failure of the assessee to produce the persons to whom payments were made by the assessee for fabrication, embroidery and dyeing & finishing, etc., the AO was at liberty to summon any or all of them in case he wanted to verify the genuineness of the payments made to them. No such course of action was, however, adopted by him. Failure of the assessee to produce those persons could not have been a ground for rejecting the accounts under Section 145(3) of the Act. The AO did not point out any difference in the consumption of raw material and production of finished goods when compared to earlier years. The AO did not say that after comparing the raw material consumed and finished goods produced in the previous years with the raw material consumed and the finished goods produced in the year in question, he had found that the number of finished goods pieces actually produced by the assessee should have been more than the number of pieces declared in the account books produced before him. Admittedly, the gross profit percentage declared by the assessee in the assessment year 2003-2004 which was the immediate preceding year, was more or less the same as was declared in the assessment year 2004-2005, to which this appeal pertains. However, the AO, instead of applying the gross profit ratio declared in the immediate preceding year, applied the gross profit ratio declared in the assessment year 2002-2003, thereby failing to maintain the accepted principle of continuity and consistency. No ground at all has been given by the AO for deviating from this accepted principle of assessment. The Delhi High Court held that, in any case, the question whether fall in gross profit stood explained by the assessee or not is a question of fact. Both, the ITAT as well as CIT (Appeals) have accepted the explanation given by the assessee. The High Court cannot disturb finding of fact unless some perversity is pointed out in the finding of the Tribunal which is otherwise the final authority on facts.
The issue is of immense importance and in the light of above an assessee can take help where there is enhancement of gross profit rate.

Genre: Thriller, Mystery
Available: August 5, 2014
Pages: 245Source: The author sent me this book in exchange for an honest review.
Synopsis: Meet 14-year-old Sean Malone. He has an IQ above 200, a full-ride scholarship to one of the country's top universities, and more than one million dollars from his winning streak on Jeopardy. However, Sean wishes he could just be normal.
But his life is anything but normal. The US government manipulates him, using him as a codebreaker in pursuit of a drug lord and killing innocent people along the way.
For reasons related to his personal security, Sean finds himself in Rome, building a new life under a new name, abandoning academics, and hiding his genius from everyone. When he's 18 he falls in love. The thrills begin again when he learns that his girlfriend is critically ill and it's up to him to use his intellect to find a cure, a battle pitting him against a multi-billion-dollar pharmaceutical company and the demons of his past.
Elixir is a story about identity, secrets, and above all, love.
I would first like to start out saying that this author does have a book giveaway going on for this book on Goodreads. You can enter here: https://www.goodreads.com/giveaway/show/111428-elixir. He will be giving away 20 signed books to the winners.
At first I had a hard time with this book because of some grammatical issues but beyond that I had a problem with Sean and how he conversed with others. Sean would continuously use 'dude', 'yo', 'sup', and many other forms of slang, while talking to people this really bothered me for some reason. First it got very tiring reading the same words over and over when he talked with another, secondly I understand the author was trying to portray a teenage kid that wanted to be like all the rest, but to talk in slang all the time? The first half of the book is a bit slow, but the author does real well showing Sean's past instead of telling the reader about it.
During the second half of the book when Sean is 18 it gets better. First the dialogue is different he actually seems to act his age. It got a bit more interesting to read this half. Though Sean and his girlfriends relationship felt flat to me. The only other problem that I had with this book was the believable aspects in the novel. For instance it says he read a 43 page document in a minute and a half. This was also a document that wouldn't be easy to read since it dealt with medicine and dealing with the Ebola virus. It just doesn't sound believable. Just because you are the smartest person in the world doesn't mean you speed read as fast as lets say Flash the super hero would. I know this is a work of fiction but I would like some of it to be some what believable.
I did like the second half of the book it did take me on a thrill and was full of action. Very exciting the second half definitely did save the first part of the book. That is why it was hard for me to rate this novel. For the beginning of the book I wanted to rate it a 1 or 2 stars but the second part really saved it and I wanted to rate it a 3. On good reads I gave it a two. Since I could only give solid star ratings on here though I would give it a 2.75 or a 2.5 stars. I definitely think Ted Galdi will come out with great stories and hope to see more of his work in the future.

The ConferenceXP Diagnostic Service provides administrators and users with a tool for understanding end-to-end networking problems. It provides information about venue participants, data transmission rates, and packet loss rates. This information is made available through a dynamically-updated web site. A subset of this information is also presented in the ConferenceXP Client.
Please refer to ConferenceXP 5 Installation Notes for complete information about Diagnostic Service setup.
The Diagnostic Service runs as a web service inside of Microsoft IIS. As such, its installation is nearly identical to the ConferenceXP Venue Service. Simply replace the Venue Service installer with the Diagnostic Service installer in Step 3.
Each client must be configured to use the Diagnostic Service. From the Client GUI, this option resides under Settings => Services. Specify the complete URL to the diagnostic service. For example: http://myhost.mydomain.com/diagnosticservice
You may also specify a Diagnostic Service in the client configuration file (CXPClient.exe.config). Below is a sample configuration key for a Diagnostic Service:
<add key="MSR.LST.ConferenceXP.DiagnosticService" value="http://somehost.somewhere.com/diagnosticservice"/>
The diagnostic web page provides network-level information about the senders and receivers in a ConferenceXP Venue. First, select your venue from the drop-down list in the upper-left corner. For each venue, you should see three tables of information: sender information, throughput differential, and loss rate.
The Diagnostic Service can present data in a basic mode or an advanced mode. The differences are described below.
The Sender Information Table provides information about each "sender" in a venue. In basic mode, each host is a single sender. In advanced mode, each RTP stream is a single sender. For example, advanced mode distinguishes between the audio and video streams from a single host.
For each sender, we display the total data sent, and the data rate from the last reporting interval. Typically, clients report their sending rate over a window that lasts several seconds. We also report the time of the last update for each sender.
The web page does not refresh automatically. The "Refresh" button is provided for this purpose.
This table shows the difference between sent data and received data at each <sender, receiver> pair. Each row represents a "receiver", which is always an individual ConferenceXP clients. The columns with numbers represent senders, which can be other ConferenceXP clients (basic mode) or RTP streams (advanced mode).
Under perfect conditions, the throughput differential would be zero. In practice, the throughput differential tends to fluctuate around zero, even for networks without loss. This is because there is no synchronization between the updates from senders and receivers.
The third table shows the loss rate between each <sender, receiver> pair; senders and receivers are defined in the same manner as the previous table. Note that this table can give spurious results during complete network outages (100% loss). This is because clients cannot distinguish between a network outage and a silent sender. Thus, it is always a good idea to corroborate the loss rate data with the throughput differential (which should be robust in the face of network outages).

text: A parasitoid is an organism that spends a significant part of its life attached to or inside a single host, which it feeds on and ultimately kills. Parasitoid larvae are dependent on a host during development, but adult parasitoids are free-living insects. In a typical parasitic relationship, the parasite and host coexist without lethal damage to the host. However, in a parasitoid relationship, the host is killed, typically before it can produce offspring. What is a hyperparasite?
