text: Romanian filmmaker Adina Pintilie's debut feature Touch Me Not provides a beautiful, powerful, intense look into the world of sacred intimacy and sexual healing. Slowly and tenderly, the semi-documentary introduces us to a handful of characters bravely exploring their relationships with their bodies, seeking community and guidance to transcend the limitations of inhibition, physical disability, grief, trauma, and fear. A stony-faced middle-aged woman (Laura Benson) engages a series of sex workers in an effort to understand and perhaps emulate their manifest comfort with their bodies and their sexuality. She spends a fair amount of time at a hospital, looking in on her elderly invalid father, who we eventually come to understand harmed her physically early in life. She also stumbles across a touch workshop for people with disabilities and becomes fixated on a tall bald fellow (Tómas Lemarquis) whose relationship with another workshop participant (Christian Bayerlein, a quadriplegic — he refers to himself as "a wheeler with SMA [spinal muscular atrophy]" — with remarkable self-awareness and body-positivity) is central to the film. The filmmaker herself and the camera equipment appear prominently in the film, highlighting the delicacy and the vulnerability of everyone participating in one of the most extraordinary films about bodies and sex I've ever seen. The scenes with sex workers — a handsome tattooed call boy, a transgender prostitute, and an extremely gifted London-based sacred intimate named Seani Love — as well as a scene in a BDSM sex club could all have been handled sensationalistically or mockingly, but they're not. I love films that take seriously and respectfully the quest for sexual healing, and I equally admire films that don't overexplain everything that's happening. Touch Me Not, which won the top prize at the Berlin Film Festival last February, has a few more showings at the Museum of Modern Art through January 17. You can read the New York Times review (and watch the trailer) here.

The Canadian authorities have announced that a new strain of influenza A virus has been found in two pig farm workers in the Province of Saskatchewan
but it is not a new strain of A(H1N1) pandemic swine flu.
In a press statement released yesterday, 7 July, the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) said they were working closely with the health authority in the Province of Saskatchewan to "assess the public health risk from a new strain of influenza" that had been detected in two workers on a hog farm in the province.
An investigation by scientists at the National Microbiology Laboratory of the PHAC in Winnipeg, found that the new strain contains genes from human seasonal flu and swine flu viruses. However, it is not a new strain of the pandemic A(H1N1) flu virus that has killed more than 400 people worldwide and contains human, swine and avian flu genes.
Chief Public Health Officer of Canada, Dr David Butler, said:
"As required under the WHO's International Health Regulations, Canada has notified the WHO about the detection of this novel influenza virus."
Since the pandemic alert countries like Canada that have a large pig farming industry have increased animal and human flu surveillance.
The workers were only mildy ill and have since made a full recovery, while a third case is still being investigated, said the PHAC.
According to a Reuters news report, Dr Greg Douglas, chief veterinary officer for Saskatchewan, said that the new virus contained genes from a seasonal H1N1 human flu strain and a flu virus commonly found in pig herds called triple reassortant H3N2.
Health Minister Leona Aglukkaq told the press that the national authorities were working closely with the province of Saskatchewan to find out as much as possible about the new flu virus.
"Preliminary results indicate the risk to public health is low and that Canadians who have been vaccinated against the regular, seasonal flu should have some immunity to this new flu strain," said the Health Minister.
Butler added that:
"The Government of Canada remains vigilant and we will continue to keep Canadians informed of any new developments."
Government investigators have also tested some of the pigs on the farm where the infected workers worked, and found that some were infected with swine influenza A, which is not uncommon among pig herds on farms.
However, the PHAC said there was no evidence that the new strain found in the workers was present in the pigs.
Douglas added that the infected herd did not show unusually high signs of illness. He said pig herds often got the flu and it usually only affects them mildly.
He reminded the press that this was not a food safety issue but a human health issue and that "Saskatchewan pork continues to be safe".
Investigations are continuing, with PHAC scientists working with Saskatchewan public heath officials to monitor workers on the affected farm and in the rest of the province's pig industry.
The Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is also advising on how best to keep an eye on the swine herds and carrying out diagnostic tests in support of the preliminary tests carried out at the national labs in Winnipeg.

Subaru Legacy
GENEVA is an hour ahead of Greenwich mean time and my mission was to travel from one to the other in the shortest time possible behind the wheel of the world's latest diesel-powered family car.
Subaru's star of this month's Geneva Motor Show is its new diesel Legacy, which lined up alongside the latest Forester that will also become an oil-burner in due course, together with the Impreza.
The engine started immediately, despite being out in bitter cold all night. We first had to drive through traffic-clogged urban areas where the engine handled the continual gear changes very well.
After that, an entirely different challenge of mountain roads blasted by snowstorms, which the car coped with tremendously, thanks to its standard four-wheel drive and anti-lock brakes.
From there we cruised through southern France to the Channel Tunnel, reaching Greenwich eight hours after we set off on the long trip.
The car behaved impeccably and sipped fuel at the rate of just 42.1mpg, which is pretty impressive considering the nature of the route, which consisted mainly of mountain passes and high-speed motorways.
The total distance travelled was 542 miles and the cost including tolls came out at £107.76.
True, it would have been cheaper with easyJet including Speedy Boarding but you don't get the music of your choice, loads of legroom and permanent four wheel drive.

When it comes to gardening the green way, every organic garden needs extra TLC. A little extra gardening know-how doesn't hurt either. With these smart tips, your garden produce will grow to be healthier and more delicious. Follow this advice and your organic garden will soon be flourishing above the rest!
Plant seeds in pots that have a rich soil to give them a strong start. Once the plant is hardy enough, plant it in your garden. This method also gives you the freedom of tightening time periods between each planting. Once the fully matured plants are removed, the seedlings can be planted.
Grow some plants that cats like to eat – try catnip or wheat grass. You may also place something offensively smelly atop the soil, like citrus peel or mothballs.
When you decide to add vegetables into your garden space, be aware that they must be placed where they will receive direct sunlight for a minimum of six hours daily. Most vegetables require this amount of sun in order to grow properly and at a quicker pace. Some flowers need the same thing.
Draw up a garden plan before you plant the first seed. Use your seed packages to make fun markers that will remind you where each type of plant is growing. With a plan, you will also be less likely to lose track of small groups or individual plants within a large and ambitious garden.
Don't you hate it how fresh mint leaves take over all of your garden, even though you love them? You can control the growth of the mint leaves by growing them in a large container rather than in your garden. Then, you can plant the container into the ground. However, the container walls will keep the roots held, and prevent the plant from consuming too much of your garden space.
You can help provide nutrients by watering your plants with room temperature water that is leftover after cooking vegetables. You can also acidify soil for rhododendrons, gardenias and more by using coffee or tea grounds. If you are having problems with fungus, you may find that sprinkling Chamomile tea on the plant is effective.
Keep your garden free from broad-spectrum pesticides. Broad-spectrum pesticides not only kill pests, but also "good" bugs like ground beetles that eat pests. Many times good bugs will be more sensitive to harmful pesticides than the ones you are trying to get rid of. If your good bug population goes down, your problem will only get worse. In the end, you may resort to using even more pesticides in order to erase the problem.
Make sure to water your garden properly. Instead of watering each individual plant with a can or hose, utilize a soaker hose, which can water all the plants at once. Keep water pressure on your hose low so you don't harm fragile plants. You can go about your business and leave your soaker hose at work for an hour or two.
Organic gardening is a great way to improve your diet naturally. It is a good source of fresh vegetables and fruits and can improve your health markedly. Organic gardening takes patience and manual labor, but it's worth it when you start reaping the benefits of your labor.

Pallet ID labels, also known as license plate numbers (LPN) or box labels, track the flow of goods in your warehouse from A to B and ease your work load. This type of temporary identification is a simple way to manage your internal track and trace and guarantee that pallets and products will be stored at the right location in your warehouse.
Why use pallet ID labels?
The use of pallet ID labels enhances the efficieny of your warehouse's work processes. Simply link the unique barcodes to your warehouse management system (WMS) and you're all set. The right label design prevents you from having to look for lost shipments and orders ever again. The benefits of pallet ID labels:
- Each pallet or box gets a unique code assigned to it upon arrival at the warehouse. This code is linked to your WMS for quick identification of your stock.
- The preprinted labels can be designed to contain variable information such as sequential numbers.
- A sturdy barcode design makes for quick and easy scanning, thereby reducing the risk of errors.
- Pallet ID labels are available in a variety of colours to identify different goods assigned to different clients.
- Depending on the required visibility of the label, our label designers can create a regular, one-sided label or a so-called corner label which is applied to one side of a pallet or box and wraps around a corner, thereby displaying the barcode and label data on two sides.
Pallet ID characteristics
When it comes to Pallet ID and box labels you have your pick of a number of materials, sizes and colours. The labels are delivered preprinted with unique sequential numbers, giving you a clear overview of your warehouse stock.
- Paper or polyethylene labels.
- Permanent or non-permanent adhesive.
- Suitable for barcode ID on e.g. pallet overpacks, boxes and plastic bins.
- Preprinted to include unique sequential numbers or a series of numbers according to your specifications.
- Available in white, yellow, orange, red, green and blue. Additional colours available upon request.
- Printed on rolls, enabling quick and easy application.
- Custom sizes available.
Als u op zoek bent naar een voordelige en hoogwaardige oplossing voor het traceren van de voorraad in uw magazijn, kijk dan niet verder dan naar pallet labels. De labelexperts van ONE2ID adviseren u graag over het formaat, de kleur en het materiaal.

A man who regularly donated blood to Stanford University via the Stanford Blood Center claims that medical malpractice by the Center's staff led to a life-threatening infection that ultimately cost him most of his collarbone, according to a lawsuit filed against the university that is currently heading to trial.
According to the complaint, the man, who donated blood to Stanford regularly over a five-year period, contracted a "severe Group B streptococcal infection" shortly after making a donation in April 2008. As a result of the infection, most of his left collarbone was removed. Stanford claims no responsibility, citing the rarity of the infection and the cleanliness of their needles, which are purchased prepackaged from an outside manufacturer.
In addition, the plaintiff claims that his blood was taken under false pretenses and sold by Stanford to private research entities for a profit. He is seeking restitution for the value of the blood he donated, as well as various damages, legal fees and compensation for emotional distress, pain and suffering.
If you are a victim of medical malpractice in need of an experienced and knowledgeable attorney, contact Hodes Milman at (949) 640-8222 or via our website, hml-lawyers.com, for a free case evaluation.

On Jan. 1, North Carolina's state gas tax will adjust upward by another 3.9 cents per gallon. The new state gas tax rate of 38.9 cents per gallon will be an all-time high for the state, and rank as fifth highest in the nation. North Carolina will round out the top five gas taxers that includes California, Connecticut, New York and Hawaii.
State lawmakers failed to act to prevent this tax hike in November when the state House approved a cap of 35 cents for the tax, but the Senate fled town before taking up the bill.

Wearable Technology Gets Good Ratings from Plastic Surgeons
Plastic surgeons see some clear advantages of using Google Glass in the operating room, reports a survey study in the July issue of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery®, the official medical journal of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS).
"Despite some identified weaknesses, Google Glass is a unique technology with a promising plastic surgical application in the operating room," according to the new research by Dr. Jeremy C. Sinkin of Georgetown University Hospital and colleagues.
Introduced in 2013, Glass is a hands-free, head-mounted computerized device that can present information to the wearer and enable recording and sharing of photos and video. A recently concluded Google testing program allowed Georgetown plastic surgeons to evaluate Glass for use in the operating room.
After a brief introduction, nine resident and attending plastic surgeons used Glass for various cosmetic and reconstructive surgery procedures. These users were surveyed about their experience, including comfort level, ease of use, and the quality of images obtained using Glass.
In general, the surgeons gave Glass high ratings for comfort and overall satisfaction. The ability to capture images and video using voice-activated control was rated "good"-average score about three on a five-point scale. Scores for the quality of photos and videos averaged nearly four out of five.
Compared to voice control, the surgeons had more problems capturing pictures or videos using Glass's "wink" feature. They also reported difficulties with reviewing images during surgery.
One-third of surgeons said they found Glass to be distracting. At times, they had to look away from the surgical field or bend the head and neck into awkward positions in order to take pictures.
"The results provide constructive end-user feedback regarding the introduction of this innovative technology into plastic surgery," Dr. Sinkin comments. The researchers note some limitations of their study, especially the small number of surgeons surveyed.
In a previous paper in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Drs. Christopher R. Davis and Lorne K. Rosenfield of Stanford University described the first plastic surgery procedure performed using Glass. In a new editorial, they highlight the many potential advantages of incorporating Glass into surgery-including recording procedures for training and documentation and providing the surgeon with access to the patient's medical records and imaging studies. They write, "Despite its technological infancy, the marriage between Glass and surgeon is a healthy one with great promise."
While Glass is not currently available, it is currently undergoing a "comprehensive redesign," according to Drs. Davis and Rosenfield. They add, "One can expect redesigned frames, more flexible optical hardware, and an updated software platform open to all technology companies."

Thought we could discuss all pre-season stuff here...
Anyone know if tonights match up in Port Mac will be streamed on FB or anything?
Apparently we are 7'0 up at HT aginst some Nth Coast Jamokes
Hoffman has a Hat Trick
Boogaard a brace
Joey C
and Georgevski with the goals
We are goona win the league at this rate
Finished 9-0. What I found odd was that Roy started. Id like to think when the more serious pre-season games come around, Merrick starts whoever is going to be playing striker while Roys sitting in the stands.
We dont really have a striker at the moment to play anyway
The other thing is we will want to be getting minutes into Roy anyway
Get his fitness up so when he is back playing he can get through games
I be surprised if come November and he sitting games out we not playing somne behind closed doors games with the Gypos Yoof team and Roy is perfecting his kung fiu kicks on them
2-1 winners over Shabab Al-Ahli Dubai FC this morning. Goals by Hoffman 40' and Kosta Petratos 65'
The Hoff!! What a machine
Why isnt Cowburn in spain with the rest of the squad?
Anyone watch the first half of the game this morning? There were 2 trialists
I'm off to the Maitland Thunderdome....anyone else?
Roy...nice finish.
Well...looks like this was of zero interest. For what its worth, entertaining game, some good goals and apart from an early brainsnap by Noah both keepers had blinders. Roy and Hoff got our goals in a 2-2 draw.
We were sharp but not quite there. The kids that came on for the second half looked very good in patches.
Oh...and Bolt walked out to the bench to applause.
2 all draw withe Gypos. Fold the club. Disgrace.
Been stitched up enough watching these cunce play pre season games in the past to know it not really worth the effort or money to go watch
When there is a first grade semi on it reallly a no brainer
When you add that Griff was playing then it even a bigger no brainer
Best part was ground announcer saying penalties at full time and then reversing that call 60 seconds later after he got the chat from someone.
Can someone please tell me what's been happening
Behind closed doors friendly with Sydney. Currently were down 2-1 Le Fondre with a double and Thurgate with 1
I just read the Jets version and they seem to say the exact opposite. Its a friendly so it doesn't matter too much. We still only have half an attack to play.
Sheppard didn't travel with the team. So i'm guessing he is back with his NPL side waiting for a phone call from Griff.
The way I am reading the situation of shephard/ sylaidos/other trialists is it will come down to whether Merrick decides to sign a target man or a winger. I think Hoffman's form as a central striker this pre-season is key to this decision.
Actually this is what I was told about sylaidos:
Quality player, technically superb was always the 2nd standout attacker at City youth after Arzani. Takes players on with ease, good with both feet and has a lethal strike on him.
Still a teenager though wont be picked up by the Jets this time.
Yeah not sure why not, asking that question now
Jets up 3 zip @ halftime v Edgeworth. Dimi with a double and Ronald the 3rd
Jets v Edgeworth finished 5-0 Hoffy with 2 in the second half

FORMER President Olusegun Obasanjo no doubt had it in mind when he suggested a movement to save Nigeria. Just a few days after his "special statement", the Coalition for Nigeria Movement (CNM) berthed yesterday in Abuja.
Its promoters promise that it will be youth-driven. Leading the way are former Osun State Governor Olagunsoye Oyinlola, an ex-PDP chief who played a major role in the internecine war that hobbled the party, former Cross River State Governor Donald Duke, another ex-PDP chief who has recently showed us more fluidity on the sax than in politics, Otunba Oyewole Fasawe, Obasanjo's man Friday and Atiku Abubakar's pal as well as Abduljalil Tafawa Balewa, son of the former Prime Minister, he of exciting memory.
Where are the frontline youths in the professions, the arts, sports, science, business, politics, academia and others?
If you think rallying the hip hop generation is a walk in the park, you'd better think again. Those who expected the CNM to come out with a bang must have been disappointed, indeed; it came out with a whimper.

The first day of Advent this year is December 1st. If you and your family would like to begin this simple, slowing-down-the-season practice, you could begin with this tradition.
The ritual surrounding Advent wreaths is simple–light a candle and read from Scripture on each of the four Sundays before Christmas. An Advent wreath isn't a "wreath" in the regular sense of the word. You can use a tray with 4 candles in a circle and some greenery, with the Christ Candle in the middle. Or find a birch log and drill 4 or 5 candle-sized holes in it. (From Pinterest).

Womens Access to Justice for Gender-Based Violence: A practitioners Guide
Lisa Gormley, Ian Seiderman, Briony Potts and Alex Conte. International Commission of Justice, 2016
Under international human rights law, persons who suffer violations of their human rights have the right to effective remedies and reparation for the harm they have suffered. Gaining access to justice for acts of gender-based violence is important to secure relief at the individual level, but also to promote change at the systemic level in terms of laws and practice. This Practitioners Guide seeks to assist lawyers and other human rights advocates, but ultimately it is designed to benefit the women on whose behalf lawyers and advocates act and who are seeking justice .

Next time you're tempted to take the largest slice of cake, it is worth remembering that a piece half the size will leave you feeling just as happy.
least that's what researchers at a leading university in the US are
saying – that smaller portions of snacks are just as likely to satisfy
our hunger as larger ones. Two
groups of volunteers were quizzed about how they felt 15 minutes after
eating servings of chocolate chips, apple pie, and chips. One group was given 100g of
chocolate, 200g of apple pie, and 80g of potato chips, all slightly
larger than the recommended sizes.
This equalled 1,370 calories. The
other group was given 10g, 40g, and 10g of the same foods respectively –
a total of 195 calories. The groups were then asked to rate their hunger and craving before the food was presented and 15 minutes after the tests ended.
The report was published by Cornell University in New York.

There is a Japanese concept called Kaizen. It means improvement and has inspired many books of business philosophy and management. I think there is something very profound to this simple little concept which is not to be overlooked. I will share my reasons below.
Excellence is not a destination; it is a continuous journey that never ends
We set ourselves goals and then we try to achieve them. But we also understand that when we set ourselves goals we limit our ambition. The goal becomes the ceiling as well as the aspiration.
This is why when you're setting a budget for your property you're are also telling your team to not set their goals higher or lower. Kaizen, in contrast, focuses on all actions that lead to continuous improvement.
If you create a culture which focuses on the right processes and actions then the best results will follow. Those results may be better and worse than you could possibly have predicted. But, importantly, they will be the best possible results.
Every feature that we build at Pace is designed to inspire the right action for you. We believe that data should turn into insights and insights should always turn into actions.
Our philosophy is one of building tools that enable you to take the correct actions at the right time in a joyful way. In this way, we believe, the best possible results for your business will emerge.
Knowing what to do is great but doing it is better. Our process is now to review prices every two hours and we've increased our activity by more than 10x. – Anika Jacobs, Ecomama

Treatments that can help
Psychological (talking) therapies. These are usually delivered on a one-to-one basis with your therapist. The ones with the best evidence-base are:
- Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) – helps you to think differently about your memories, so that they become less distressing and more manageable. It usually involves relaxation to help you tolerate the discomfort of recalling the traumatic events.
- Eye movement desensitisation & reprocessing (EMDR) – uses eye movements to help the brain to process flashbacks and to make sense of the traumatic experience.
- Medication. Antidepressant tablets can help. If you find them helpful, you should carry on taking them for around 12 months before slowly tailing them off. If you are so distressed that you can't sleep or think clearly, you may need sedative medication. But you should only take this for a short time, 2 weeks or so.
How do treatments compare?
CBT, EMDR and antidepressants seem to be most helpful. The evidence for other forms of psychotherapy or counselling is much weaker. Trauma-focused psychological therapies (CBT and EMDR) should usually be offered before medication.

Beer is the world's antique and much broadly consumed alcoholic drink and the third most famous drink overall after water and tea. It is generated by the brewing and fermentation of starches, primarily originated from cereal grains most typically malted cereal, although wheat, maize , and rice are largely used. All beer is taste with hops, which include bitterness and action as a real preservative, though other flavourings like herbs or fruit may periodically be involved.
The depth of brewing beer are distributed across national and cultural boundaries. Beers are normally categorized into two major types the worldwide well-known pale lagers, and the regionally several ales, which are advance categorised into other diversity like pale ale, stout and brown ale. The power of beer is typically around 4% to 6% alcohol by volume though may range from less than 1% abv. to over 20% abv. in rare cases.
Wine is usually made from one or more varieties of the European species Vitis vinifera, such as Pinot Noir, Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot. When one of these varieties is used as the predominant grape (usually defined by law as a minimum of 75% or 85%), the result is a varietal, as opposed to a blended, wine. Blended wines are not necessarily considered inferior to varietal wines; some of the world's most expensive wines, from regions like Bordeaux and the Rhone Valley, are blended from different grape varieties of the same vintage cyprus wine – Cyprus Wines is a portal featuring wines in Cyprus. For tasty, classic, Cypriot Wines, visit our portal Cyprus Wines, where wines are listed conveniently.
Benefits of Drinking Beer:
- Beer is fat-free and cholesterol free.
- Beer has a relaxing effect on the body thereby reducing stress.
- It can help you sleep better.
- It helps prevent heart disease and improves the blood circulation .

Top 10 Vijay Govindarajan Insights – World Innovation Forum
May 11, 2009 / /
Taking a slightly different approach than other World Innovation Forum bloggers, I've distilled 90 minutes with Vijay Govindarajan down into these Top 10 Insights:
- Most companies spend too much time on Box 1 thinking and not enough on Box 2&3 thinking
- Box 1 is about closing the performance gap and restructuring
- Box 2&3 are about Closing the Opportunity Gap (projects for 2020) and Renewal
- Horizon 1 – Core Business
- Horizon 2 – Adjacent Space
Horizon 3 – Entirely New Space
Finally, I'd like to leave you with a link to a Vijay Govindarajan webinar (Ten Rules for Strategic Innovators) where you can listen to a lot of the content and follow along with many of the slides.

text: Q. Following the recent annoucement by the Chancellor of the Exchequer George Osbourne that the newly formed Office of Tax Simplification initial will be reviewing current IR35 legislation can you offer any insight into the remit of the review and what we might expect as a result? A. The Chancellor and Exchequer Secretary launched the Office of Tax Simplification on 20th July 2010 to provide the Government with independent advice on simplifying the UK tax system. The Office has been established as an independent Office of the Treasury and will draw together expertise from across the tax and legal professions, the business community and other interested parties. Initially the Office of Tax Simplification has been asked to report on two specific areas: Tax Relief Review Small Business Tax Simplification Review. In addition to the the Tax Relief Review, which we will cover at a later date, the Government has commissioned the Office of Tax Simplification to conduct a review and make recommendations to the Chancellor on how to simplify the tax system, ease administration and reduce uncertainty for small businesses. In conducting this review, the Office will provide an initial report to the Chancellor by Budget 2011 that: • examines evidence and identifies the areas of the tax system that cause the most day-to-day complexity and uncertainty for small businesses; • recommends priority areas for simplification; • considers the impact of any simplification in these areas on different business sectors, including large business. Once the Government has considered the initial report the Office will be asked to produce specific recommendations on tax simplification for small businesses. As a specific part of this review the Government has already indicated that reviewing IR35 legislation is a priority and that it will seek to replace it with simpler measures that prevent tax avoidance but do not place undue administrative burdens or uncertainty on the self-employed, or restrict labour market flexibility. Therefore, in its initial report to the Chancellor, the Office should also: • identify and provide evidence of the complexity and uncertainty created by IR35; • consider alternative legislative approaches that would be simpler and create certainty while ensuring that, where intermediaries are used to disguise employment, any income that is effectively employment income is taxed fairly; and • consider the scope for tax avoidance and the extent to which alternatives to IR35 would affect it. The focus of this work should be exploring alternatives to IR35. However, the Government will be interested in issues in relation to the structure of the tax system and the employment status test more generally. This may have a bearing on wider issues about employment status and the boundary between employment and self-employment, including the impact on larger businesses. In making its recommendations the Office has been advised that it should aim to: • build consensus amongst small businesses, tax professionals and academics; • take into account current and emerging trends amongst small businesses; • consider all HMRC taxes and duties that impact on small businesses, including the administrative burdens imposed; • take into account Government objectives for labour market flexibility; • be consistent with the principles for a good tax system, including fairness and efficiency; • be broadly revenue neutral overall; • be consistent with the Government's corporation tax reform agenda and wider tax reforms; and • take account of international experience. We must now await the findings and recommendations of the Office of Tax Simplification and see whether the advice and opinions of various pressure groups and small businesses are acted on. Watch this space. Taxwise is available to help answer any tax queries. Just call the Advice Service on 01455 852555 and one of our specialists will be happy to help.

As China's ruling Communist Party gears up for its 19th Congress, President Xi Jinping is calling on the country's media to play their part in touting his grand vision for China, and especially an infrastructure venture called the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI).
This mammoth infrastructure project along the ancient Silk Route touches on more than 60 countries, involves trillions of dollars of investment and, in the party's view, requires a giant PR effort.
The Communist Party's propaganda department issues daily directives on how the BRI is to be reported. And the state broadcaster CCTV has just premiered the first of a six-part documentary series selling the BRI to the Chinese people.
"Because Xi Jinping has attached his name to it [BRI] very prominently, there's very little space for more critical pieces looking at some of the problematic issues," says Benjamin Haas, Beijing correspondent for The Guardian.
"One of them is the fact that China is going to be building coal-fired power plants in many developing countries, which is obviously not good for the environment. But you never see an article that is just focusing on the negative aspects of this project," Haas says.
The propaganda machine is also trying to shape the conversation on social media. Censors are vetting political jokes and commentary. New laws are restricting who can distribute news, and which VPNs, virtual private networks, can be used to circumvent what has come to be known as the "great firewall" of China.
"The approaching 19th Congress is probably the most important of its kind since the Cultural Revolution," explains Chang Ping, former news director for Southern Weekend.
"It will determine the future of China's political situation, especially Xi Jinping's personal future and whether he can be re-elected. Control of the media is as strict as ever, but this time it's particularly stringent, on both online and traditional outlets."
The relationship between Chinese media and the Communist Party was forged by Chairman Mao, founder of the Party and the country's leader for nearly three decades.
In 1942, Mao said, "the struggle for the liberation of the Chinese people has to be fought on two fronts: the pen and the gun." There have been periods of loosened media restrictions over the past years, but now is definitely not one of those times.
President Xi's ambitions for China have meant the screws have been tightened considerably. Once critical investigative outlets like the Southern Weekend newspaper and the Caijing magazine have been reigned in and a string of journalists have been paraded on CCTV, confessing to crimes.
In 2016, Xi toured the three major state-owned outlets: news agency Xinhua, national newspaper China Daily and Central Chinese Television headquarters. He asked for the media's "absolute loyalty" to the party.
With the political stakes so high for President Xi Jinping, Beijing is building a bigger, better firewall to block dissident content online or in the mainstream news media.

What Will It Take to Stop Trump From Bulldozing Most Diverse Butterfly Center for Border Wall Section Already Funded?
Bulldozers are expected to arrive at the National Butterfly Center in February or early March. A planned 5.5 mile section of concrete and steel border wall that is already funded will cut straight through the most diverse butterfly sanctuary in the U.S.
Marianna Wright, executive director of the National Butterfly Center believes most Americans are unaware that 33 new miles were funded in the 2018 Omnibus spending bill in March. The National Butterfly Center is on a segment of those 33 new miles, costing roughly $30 million per mile according to Wright.

60,000 Liters of Oil Spills From Pipeline Into Brazilian Bay
About 60,000 liters (15,850 gallons) of oil spilled from a pipeline into the Estrela River and spread to Rio de Janeiro's famed Guanabara Bay over the weekend, according to Reuters and local reports.
The pipeline is owned by Transpetro, the largest oil and gas transportation company in Brazil, and a subsidiary of Petroleo Brasileiro (commonly known as Petrobras). Transpetro claims the leak resulted from an attempted robbery.

The IEA Comes up Short on Climate (Again)
By Greg Muttitt
The release of the World Energy Outlook (WEO) 2018 on Monday marked another missed opportunity for the International Energy Agency (IEA) to provide a roadmap to Paris success.
Governments and investors alike have been calling on the IEA to help guide them towards achievement of the Paris goals. Two years ago, the IEA itself proposed updating its climate scenario to match the ambition of the Paris goals, and also gave its updated scenarios a cameo in the WEO 2017.

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued one of the most sweeping changes to generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (GAAP) – Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). The new lease accounting standards and subsequent amendments require lessees to report all leases with a term greater than 12 months, including operating leases, on the statement of financial position.
Topic 842 also requires expanded disclosures, aimed at providing financial statement users enough information to assess the amount, timing, and uncertainty of cash flows arising from leases. The principle of Topic 842 is that a lease conveys the right to use an asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
KSM's Not-for-Profit Services Group has summarized the full standards update, including the amended effective dates, into this brief guide, which outlines the primary changes to the lease reporting of not-for-profit organizations.

Edwin McGee Jr., 39
Surgical director, heart transplant program , Northwestern Memorial Hospital
Edwin McGee Jr.
39 Surgical director heart transplant program Northwestern Memorial Hospital
Edwin McGee Jr. eases his Chevy Tahoe over an uneven gravel road lined with thick rows of corn, slows to a stop and throws it in park.
From the rear door bounds his black Labrador, Dixie. She runs in circles in a roadside field before planting herself at her master's side on command.
"Good girl," Dr. McGee says in a hushed but firm voice. He takes aims with a gun-like launcher and shoots a plastic dummy duck 100 feet into the air. He waves his hand in front of her snout. "Dixie, dead bird! Back! Back!" he yells, sending her crashing through waist-high grass in search of the prey.
This 350-acre pheasant hunting preserve in southern Wisconsin is where Dr. McGee goes to relax after an 80-hour work week spent performing an average of five heart surgeries. He makes the four-hour round trip a couple of times a month to train or hunt with Dixie during 12-hour windows when his pager isn't likely to go off.
"I'll take any chance I can to get out in the country," the South Carolina native says, gazing out over a marsh of cattails as a flock of sandhill cranes soars overhead. "I can only take so much of the fluorescent hospital lights."
An avid fly fisherman, dog trainer and duck hunter, Dr. McGee arrived at Northwestern in July 2004 from the Cleveland Clinic, widely considered the nation's top heart hospital. The goal: revive Northwestern's all-but-dormant cardiac transplant program.
The effort is off to a fast start. The 100-member team of cardiologists, nurses and support staff transplanted 15 hearts in its first year, outpacing an initial goal of 10 transplants, with a 100% survival rate.
Since performing his first heart transplant at age 34, Dr. McGee has done 75. But it's his versatility that makes him most valuable, says Patrick McCarthy, co-director of Northwestern's heart transplant program, who also left the Cleveland Clinic for Northwestern. Dr. McGee is adept at repairing badly damaged hearts through complex procedures such as replacing heart valves and rebuilding ventricles, Dr. McCarthy says.
"He's had exceptional training and knows how to treat the sickest of the sick," he says. "This is graduate-level heart surgery he's doing."
Dr. McGee's favorite thing about his work is getting to fix things, "whether it's through therapy or surgery or ripping it out and putting in a new one," he says with a Southern drawl.
Fixing things is something Dr. McGee has done since he was a boy. He spent countless hours on his grandfather's farm outside Florence, S.C., doing odd jobs like repairing broken-down farm equipment or herding cattle. His interest in medicine came early, too. His father was a general surgeon.
But a few years into medical school at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tenn., Dr. McGee was lukewarm about his chosen field -- until he observed a 6-year-old boy receive a heart transplant. The boy was up playing just days later, a sight that "turned the light on for me," he says.
US. Sen. Bill Frist, R-Tenn., then director of Vanderbilt's transplant program, advised Dr. McGee to pursue heart surgery. He chose to do his surgical residency at Massachusetts General Hospital, where Sen. Frist received his own surgical training, and spent 10 years there before leaving in 2001 for a fellowship in heart failure and transplantation at the Cleveland Clinic.
Dr. McGee's easygoing nature lends itself to the tedious training needed to become a heart transplant surgeon, says Bruce Lytle, chairman of the Cleveland Clinic's Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery.
"Cardiac surgery is all about focus and consistency, and Ed's personality works well," Dr. Lytle says. "He's got this real-person quality to him."
Back on the pheasant preserve, after 15 minutes of foraging as Dr. McGee barks commands, Dixie emerges from the field soaking wet and panting, with the baton-like dummy gripped between her teeth. She earns a hearty "good girl!" from her master, but no treat.
"That's the thing about a retrieving dog," Dr. McGee explains. "Retrieving is the treat in and of itself."

Let's take a deep breath and take a deeper look at the recent research published by Harvard University warning about the association of fluoride in drinking water and lower IQ levels in children. The study focused on two Chinese villages where fluoride occurs naturally in the water. One village had an extremely high level (2.47 mg/L) which is almost four times the amount currently recommended in the United States (0.7-1.2 mg/L.) The authors of the Harvard report recommend further study before they make a definitive conclusion.
What should you do in the meantime? If you are, nonetheless concerned, I would recommend taking some action. First get the fluoride level tested in your own water. Hopefully, it will not exceed the current recommended level that is between .7-1.2 mg/L . Also, you can opt to take a topical approach with fluoride, having your child use a daily fluoride rinse that is swooshed and spit. This would not be appropriate for younger children who cannot mechanically do this because they may swallow the rinse. I also recommend using a fluoride tooth paste. This will definitely help with cavity prevention. Don't forget the flossing, though!
The other action that you can take as a parent to ensure your child's dental health is to eliminate soda and sugary candy. You may also be interested to know that the body recognizes anything made with white flour as a sugar. Therefore, all of us should brush after eating snacks such as crackers, pretzels, etc. since the crumbs can become lodged in the tooth surfaces and cause decay.
Caveat: A recent study published by the American Journal of Public Health reported no adverse correlation between fluoride and IQ after studying 1000 patients from birth until the age of thirty eight.

A DELIGHTED Sandbach woman has paid £20,000 to Children in Need for her own love song from a star.
Dawn Gibbons MBE, who recently sold the Moston-based international flooring manufacturer Flowcrete for an undisclosed amount believed to be around £30m, has had a love song written for her by pop star Katie Melua.
She outbid the competition during the "Prizes Money Can't Buy" auction on Terry Wogan's BBC Radio 2 programme.
As the Chronicle went to print yesterday, Dawn was due to hear Katie's as yet untitled song for the first time.
She said: "My entire family love Katie as she has an absolutely beautiful voice.
"The reason I bid is that my husband, Mark, is a wonderful poet. He often leaves me and our children poems and notes around the house. But none of us are blessed with his skills so what better way to repay him than get Katie to write him a song."
Katie Melua has had two UK number one albums and hits including Nine Million Bicycles.
The track will be officially released with her next single around Christmas and will be dedicated to Dawn on the CD.
She said: "I spoke to Katie last Monday for around an hour on the phone and she asked lots of questions about our relationship and what I wanted from the song.
"She said she was very happy with it and had sorted out the melody and the lyrics. It is very deep and meaningful so I cannot wait to hear it.
"I am extremely grateful for this fantastic prize and I very pleased that the money I donated will go to so many excellent causes."

- On 28th April I am flying off to Orlando to go and work at Walt Disney World for a year as part of the Cultural Representative Programme in Epcot. I am beyond excited to get out there and start working for a company I have always admired and get a chance to experience that back stage experience of working as a Cast Member.
- I studied History at the University of Kent, Canterbury. I actually have a real soft spot for Canterbury as a place and will always feel at home there. I had such a blast being at University, spending time with new friends and I actually really enjoyed the modules I studied there.
- I am all about a good afternoon tea with free flowing champagne. If there is ever a birthday, anniversary, or just a Wednesday afternoon, I am all about suggesting going for some pretty good scones and a glass of fizz.
1. What is your favourite Disney film, and why?
So, as Disney fans, we get asked this question all the time, and I never have a set film. It changes from time to time, as I kind of re-discover different Disney films as my current favourites. At the moment, I am obsessed with the live action version of Beauty and the Beast. I wouldn't declare it as my all-time favourite, however right now I am completely in love with it. It is well cast, the soundtrack is incredible and the additions to the story line make it such a fantastic film.
If I was going to have to pick an all-time favourite it would be between Beauty and the Beast, Alice in Wonderland and Sleeping Beauty.
2. If you could travel anywhere in the world next, where would it be?
I would have to say New York. I am really hoping I will get the chance to visit whilst I am working over in the US.
3. Who would you invite to your celebrity fantasy dinner party?
The entire teaching staff of Harry Potter. I would love to have some good chats with Maggie Smith and Emma Thompson.
4. If you could be a fictional character (from film, tv, books or games) for a day, who would it be?
Terry Boot. Now, who is that you may ask? Well he is actually a Ravenclaw student from the Harry Potter books. I'd hate to be Harry for the day for obvious reason, but it would be pretty cool to just be a standard Hogwarts student for the day and get to experience what it is like to study at Hogwarts. Give me all the magic and butterbeer please.
5. Make me laugh! What's your cheesiest chat up line, or cringiest joke?
Q: Why does peter pan fly? A: 'Cause he never lands.
- What is your favourite Disney song and why?
- If you were attending a Disney fancy dress party, who would be your first choice?
- If you could have any magical object from the Harry Potter series, what would it be?
- Apart from a Disney one, what is your favourite film?
- What is your favourite musical you have seen on stage?
Thanks for reading guys! I nominate –
