You are a Tigress. Love your stripes ?– By Ruma Vishal Mundhar
She stood before the mirror, admiring her looks , yet worried about her next modelling assignment. She was still setting the ramp on fire but what's next? Her five months pregnancy.
She had started showing a little plump and prosperous. What was playing on her mind were the stretch marks. Every trimester had its own anxieties and enjoyments. The mood swings, the cravings, sleeplessness but the pampering from family and the fluttering movements inside made her forget everything and enjoy her pregnancy.
But what about her modelling career? How would she wear low waist dresses and her sexy saree look? Her confidence was going down. The hour glass figure could be gained back with rigorous workout but what about the stripes, the pragnancy marks?
Finally, the bundle of joy was in her arms. Happiness knew no bounds. The angel had brought new light and rejoice but each time in secret vicinity she checked her marks.
She asked her friends and family, all the experienced moms, each one suggested home remedies, or cosmetic treatments. Some just told to chill, some were sarcastic, the remedies worked too but not to her satisfaction. One day her husband entered the room and caught her worried expression. The baby blues were playing on her mind. The moment he hugged her, her emotions broke all barriers and his shoulder was wet with tears.
He made her sit, held her hand and said "You are a tigress, so love these stripes."
A sudden streak of confidence flashed in her mind and heart. "Yes I am a tigress and I love my stripes and I shall still rule the forest with my tiger and my cub."

The Noble M600 has been unveiled with the company releasing the first images of the exterior and the interior of the new model. The Noble M600 is powered by a 4.4 liter V8 developing a maximum of 650 hp. The drive will have choice of setting three different power output levels - 450 hp, 550 hp or 650 hp. The maximum torque has been rated at 604 lb.-ft. Noble claims it will hit 60mph in three seconds flat, crack 100mph in 6.5 seconds and top out at 225mph.The Noble M600 has a standard sports 40% / 60% weight distribution and sits on 19 inch and 20 inch wheels.The Noble M600 price will be in the region of £200,000 and the company says it will only built 50 units per year.The first public unveiling of the Noble M600 will take place at Goodwood between 19th and 21st of September.We at Noble think it is time to break the mould, feeling that this now ubiquitous 'digital' driver assistance disengages the driver experience and reward. We have often encountered, when turning off these devices, that computer generated support can often cosmetically mask and flatter inferior chassis and handling characteristics. We decided that with the introduction of the M600, it was time to 'get back to basics', to concentrate on the more 'analogue' qualities of design utilising a principle of pure engineering integrity from the chassis up, putting you, the driver, back in control.

While radio spectrum allocation is well regulated, there is little knowledge about its actual utilization over time and space. This limitation hinders taking effective actions in various applications including cognitive radios, electrosmog monitoring, and law enforcement. We introduce Electrosense, an initiative that seeks a more efficient, safe and reliable monitoring of the electromagnetic space by improving the accessibility of spectrum data for the general public. A collaborative spectrum monitoring network is designed that monitors the spectrum at large scale with low-cost spectrum sensing nodes. The large set of data is stored and processed in a big data architecture and provided back to the community with an open spectrum data as a service model, that allows users to build diverse and novel applications with different requirements. We illustrate useful usage scenarios of the Electrosense data.

Emma Wood State Beach, Ventura, California
been killed by these trains) and transients frequent the campground in search of cans. There are a few nice features including the campground's proximity to downtown Ventura, making it a quick bike ride away on the walking/biking path that leads you from camp. Of course you have to cross the dangerous train tracks to access this path. The sandy beach at the entrance of the campground is nice, however it seems susceptible to rip tides and due to its size, gets crowded rather quickly. This campground does close often in winter due to high tides, as it easily floods.
Good Sites: 1-12
Poor Sites: 13-90
Hookups: None
Potable Water: No
Dump within Facility: No

The train does pass near this campground but as long as you look the visibility is good. You do have to walk away from your campsite to access the beach. Surfers enjoy this particular stretch because the nearby Ventura River deposits cobblestones into the beach (the reason for the rocky beachside) which creates good wave action.
You also wake to the sound of the surf and often catch dolphins swimming up the coast. There's also a bike path and trail that leads down to Ventura or up the coast to Santa Barbara. You can access by walking past the ranger station if you wish to avoid crossing the train tracks.
The estuary at the mouth of the Ventura River is breathtaking and worth the short ride/walk to get there.

Food File: Crostinis four ways
The other day I had my friends Jenny and Marissa over for a little business meeting, and when it was time for lunch I went with the easiest (yet delicious) fix: Crostinis. There's seriously no science in making these and they make a great appetizer too. All you have to do is improvise with whatever you have in your fridge (hope you got some cheese!) and you are good to go! Here are some ideas:
This is what I made:
One: Ricotta, sliced strawberries, hazelnut shavings, honey
Two: Goat cheese, sautéed mushrooms in coconut oil, fleur de sel, arugula
Three: Mozarella cheese, tomatoes, olive oil, basil, sea salt, pepper
Four: Ricotta, blueberries, shaved hazelnuts, honey
If I would have had brie cheese I would have swapped the ricotta and blueberries from number 4 for some brie + pear, but as I said, this was totally improvised! Just thought of mentioning it, as it's a another great pairing ;)

Sananda Maitreya aka former 80s superstar Terence Trent D'Arby has explained the reasoning behind his decision to change his name, claiming it was a 'choice for survival'.Monsta X to hit Las Vegas as first K-pop group ever to play iheartRadio Festival
The 55-year-old musician became a hotly-tipped star in the 1980s, being compared as a rival to both Prince and Michael Jackson following tracks like Wishing Well before disappearing from the spotlight.
In 1995 he adopted the name Sananda Maitreya before making it official in October 2001, and he made a rare appearance on Good Morning Britain opposite hosts Piers Morgan and Susanna Reid to explain the name switch.
Sorry, this video isn't available any more.
Speaking on the show, Sananda said: 'It's just the process of being an artist. But we often find that unfortunately once you become a brand, the brand becomes more important and the brand becomes essentially what you are.
'If you're growth or your movement threatens to take you outside of that, it isn't always a very comfortable existence because you wake to realise you don't really own who you are anymore and there's too much committee behind it.
'That's comfortable for some people, and it's not so comfortable for others,' he added.
Explaining the reasoning behind his sudden departure from the spotlight, he revealed how it wasn't his choice to step away, but was thankful of the move after claiming he wouldn't have survived the popstar life.
'It wasn't necessarily my choice to disappear,' Sananda added. 'I chose this project Prometheus and Pandora because largely I felt I had lived that particular life. These legends and myths are narrative history.
'Basically I was thrown off the mountain after it was determined I wasn't really cut in the cloth that suited the way the situation wanted me to go. I seem to have been possessed by a mind of my own and I did not merely want to be a pop product, but I wanted to be an artist which was always my ambition. That followed its own revolutionary arc.
'When that seemed to be a problem for the establishment as it existed, as it presented itself at the time, I was pretty much asked as Prometheus was, to leave the mountain.'
'I didn't leave of my own volition. Basically if I hadn't, I wouldn't have survived it. So for my own survival and my growth, as a soul, as an artist and as an emotional being, it was best that I assume an identity I didn't have to fight anyone over or that I have to constantly engage in constant tug of wars and just reinvent myself. I wasn't the first person to do that and I won't be the last.'
He added: 'It was a choice for survival.'
Sananda has released a total of 12 albums, with his latest Prometheus & Pandora being released earlier this month.
You can catch Good Morning Britain weekdays on ITV at 6am.

Hello everyone! Lexa here today with a card that's highlighting Cascading Stars Stamp and pair it with my most favorite Critter Campout Stamps. If you're wondering why I always play favorite to critter stamps, it's simply just because I looove animals so much and I feel that I'll never have enough critter stamps in my life.. NEVER!
First of all, I stamp the Cascading Stars twice and gold embossed it on the background. After the gold shines all over my card, I blend some Distress Inks in Chipped Sapphire, Black Soot, Dusty Concord and Seedless Preserves to create night sky. As for the ground I blend Crushed Olive and Mowed Lawn in the bottom part of my card. To set the horizons I also stamp some pine trees in dark grey dye ink.
All images are stamped with Versafine black ink and watercolored with Distress Markers. After I finished with the coloring, I die cut these three friends and their campfire with the coordinating dies. How adorable is that sleeping bear while his friends sing some lullabies. I love to create a story behind every scenic cards I made. I white embossed the sentiment on black cardstock and use staplers to set it on the fix position.
That's my card for today. I hope you enjoy this post. Thank you so much for stopping by and wish you all a wonderful day!

It may seem premature to hear that from a politician BEFORE the campaign is over, but I had to say it!
This has been an intense campaign. After slates began to emerge I committed myself not only to re-election, but also to helping my colleagues on the Council who always give fair consideration to my ideas. Your outpouring of support – emotional, financial, vote pledges, and more – has been inspiring. Your intelligence about the issues and enthusiasm for my candidacy has been a consistent source of energy, getting me through many a sleepless night.
With your support, your help, your time volunteering, your contributions, and your #1 vote – I am confident that we'll win tomorrow, November 3rd; our challenge is to boldly send a message that our community endorses the principles and progress I fight for. Of course, our team still needs to execute on election day (tomorrow!) to make that subject line become real. So if you can, please chip in now to make sure we can fund our plans!
And, if you're available, please sign up for a shift to volunteer with us at the polls. It looks like it's going to be a beautiful sunny 70 degree day … join us in greeting neighbors and thanking them for voting!

Good news for the struggling biofuels industry: The plant-derived fuels perform favorably as jet fuel, a study by Boeing and others in the aviation industry has concluded. In the Northwest, Imperium Renewables is banking on jet fuel to help drive up demand for fuel from its 100 million-gallon-a-year biodiesel plant near Grays Harbor, Wash. The plant is currently idled amid the economic downturn. The aviation industry is studying renewable jet fuels because of their ability to reduce carbon dioxide emissions -- and the carbon footprint of flights. According to the study, a series of laboratory, ground and flight tests conducted between 2006 and 2009 indicated the test fuels performed as well as or better than typical petroleum-based Jet A fuel. The testing included several commercial airplane engine types using blends of up to 50 percent petroleum-based Jet A/Jet A-1 fuel and 50 percent biofuels. The study also showed the biofuel blends used in the test flight program met or exceeded all technical parameters for commercial jet aviation fuel. Those standards include freezing point, flash point, fuel density and viscosity, among others. Using the blends had no adverse effects on the engines or their components, Boeing said. The fuels have greater energy content by mass than typical petroleum-derived jet fuel -- which potentially could lower fuel consumption per mile, the company said. Each of the test flights used a different blend of biofuel sources: An Air New Zealand flight used fuel derived from jatropha; a Continental flight used a blend of jatropha and algae-based fuels; and a Japan Airlines flight used a blend of jatropha, algae and camelina-based fuels. For next steps, Boeing, in cooperation with fuel technology developer UOP and the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory, is preparing a comprehensive research report for submission to the ASTM International Aviation Fuel Committee later this year. The report will support efforts to gain approval to use Bio-SPK fuel at up to a 50 percent blend. -- The Oregonian
Biofuels do well as jet fuel, Boeing says

12 children gathered for the school holiday workshop, which began with printmaking - monoprints to be exact.
We explored what making monoprints was like. What effect you got, the pace at which you needed to work so the printing plate didn't dry to quickly and how much, or how little detail was transferred (from printing plate / block to paper).
Our printing plate was a piece of plastic, an A4 laminating sheet.
Some created scenes,
others exploring with shapes and colours.
There were 2 'test prints' each.
Monoprint definition (selected from wikipedia):
A monoprint is a single impression of an image made from a reprintable block... Only one impression may be produced, by painting on the block.
Monoprints are known as the most painterly method among the printmaking techniques; it is essentially a printed painting. The characteristic of this method is that no two prints are alike. The beauty of this medium is also in its spontaneity and its combination of printmaking, painting and drawing media.
A guided meditation invited the artist's to picture themselves in the outdoors, what was around them, where were they sitting, what did they see? This was a good way to quieten thoughts and actions after the busy printmaking. They then thought of what they would like their puppet to be - what was their character?
This artist drew hers first in greylead, placing the drawing underneath her printing plate.
There were animals, people and unique monster like characters.
Two artists decided that their characters would be their pets (and pet friend) who had just passed away. Another, her Mum's Dad, for her Mum - she did not meet him but knew her Mum would like it.
As their prints dried the artist's were invited to write about their characters, to find out more about them. What did they like? What didn't they like? What was their name!
After a lunch break - much needed for busy artists - it was time to turn the prints into puppets.
At this point I would really like to thank and acknowledge the very talented artist Heri Dono and the Australian Print Workshop for introducing me to the monoprint / shadow puppet combo. Quite some years back I attended a workshop at APW with Heri, where I created my own monoprint shadow puppet. It is lovely to keep sharing this great style.
So, now came the time to cut-out the characters, releasing them from their large paper sheets.
'Moveable parts', such as arms, legs or tails! were cut and reconnected with string, to the main puppet and then onto bamboo sticks for moving.
What fun and excitement!
In pairs, individually or in small groups the characters took to the screen.
Some with elaborate storylines and others silently moving to music.
A great day - thank you to all the artist's and my wonderful assistants.

"The main aim is to up my game at every possible turn without compromise." – Nicky Romero
"The word wunderkind was pretty much invented for the likes of 24-year-old producer Nicky Romero." – DJMag
Strike up a conversation about the current state of EDM and it won't be long before Nicky Romero gets an emphatic mention. The breakthrough star with the bulletproof work ethic is credited as a driving force behind the fantastic health the scene currently enjoys. In every aspect of his life – as DJ, producer and label head – he is a tireless advocate for his art.
Couple this with a distinctive signature sound and compelling output and it is no surprise that he exploded into the DJMag Top100 chart at number 17 in 2012 – the highest new entry that year.
Nicky Romero, real name Nick Rotteveel, was born January 6th 1989 in the small city of Amerongen, Holland. A keen interest in the drums and an early career spinning house and r&b quickly evolved into an unbridled passion for music production.
Early releases, picked up by boutique outfit Once Records, caught the attention of some of the more established labels: Spinnin', Fly Eye, Toolroom and Flamingo Recordings.
As he worked on honing his sound – a seductive blend of progressive house tinged with electro and acid – he sent a bootleg of David Guetta smash When Love Takes Over out into the world. The track's online success piqued the interest of Guetta himself and in that moment Romero found his mentor and champion. They have since collaborated on multiple projects including Metropolis and Wild One Two, and in the summer of 2012 Nicky Romero accepted a residency at David Guetta's infamous FMIF club night at Pacha/Ushuaia Ibiza.
Today Nicky Romero is paying it forward with his Protocol brand, championing up and coming artists like Nilson and Tony Romera with his record label, club night and radio show. Despite only having been launched during ADE 2012, Protocol Radio already has more than 20 million listeners worldwide and continues to grow at a rapid rate, whilst out of Protocol's four record releases, three have hit the number one spot on the Beatport charts.
Recent studio output includes a track on Rihanna's album Unapologetic, a huge collaboration with Calvin Harris called Iron, a Madonna remix and releases with Fedde Le Grand, Nervo, and the collaboration with Avicii, I Could Be The One (Universal).
His solo releases, tracks like Toulouse, Se7en and Generation 303 have received massive support from a veritable who's who of dance music aristocracy.
As a performer too, he is a force to be reckoned with. Behind the decks his tenacity and ability to work a room was rewarded as he rounded out an intense international touring schedule with sets on the mainstage of both Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas and Tomorrowland.
2012 may have been the best year yet for Nicky Romero, but there is no reason to expect the train will stop here. Pushing relentlessly forward and with the wind at his back, the Nicky Romero brand will continue to mature, becoming an increasingly influential and venerated force in the international music arena.

How we read to children is just as important as what we read to them. How we read can make a big difference in their attention, their comprehension, and their interest. We use several methods for reading books during storytime. One of the easiest methods is Hear and Say Reading (or Dialogic Reading).
Simply take your cues from your child. Find a book he/she is interested in. The book should have a simple story, clear illustrations, pictures of familiar things, illustrations with action and detail, and shorter in length.
The child takes the lead when it comes to reading the book. You will be talking about the pictures–not reading the words. This will help build oral language and comprehension. Once you do it a few times, it may even become part of your everyday conversations with your child–no book required!
- Start by asking simple what questions. (What do you see on this page? What else do you see? What is happening?)*
Build on your child's answers. (Child: I see an elephant. Parent: That is a large elephant!)
Follow your child's words with simple questions. (What is the elephant doing? Why does the elephant have a sad face?)
Repeat. (Child: I see an elephant. Parent: That is a large, gray elephant! What color is the elephant? Child: Gray.)
Help your child as needed.
PRAISE your child's answers and observations.
Follow your child's interest.
*Once you have started asking simple what questions, transition into open-ended questions that require more than a one-word answer.

Sorry for the mmmm lovely topic
Has anyone had this procedure done? I'm due to have it done soon.
The consultant told me there is a 6 week recovery.
My main concern is that I won't be able to exercise for weeks which will set me back a bit as i've been training to reach certain fitness goals.
I'd be grateful to hear from anyone who has had it done.
Hi tiny tears. Was back in gym after a week. Found Pilates/reformer Pilates fine. Weight lifting type classes - fine. Walking prob 2 weeks. If anything being up, about and active is easier than sitting take ur pain killers, watch diet, and agree with tmskr - u don't want to get constipated. It is v sore after toilet, but manageable. Get yourself the moist toilet paper/toddler wipes. Needed to wear long thin sanitary towel for a few weeks. Nobody will know and it's a lot more common than u think so try not to worry. Unfortunately, I'vehad a lot of surgeries last few years and can honestly say the quicker u get back up, the quicker recovery will be. Be sensible tho and start gently.
Make sure you get prescribed painkillers stronger than paracetemol for the first couple of days.
It was uncomfortable to sit for long periods for weeks after. 6 weeks is about right but very sore after toliet for months.
Plenty of painkillers and avoid constipation at all costs afterwards.
stepper when did you start back exercising? Can I also ask will I be able to walk if it's that painful? when did you start to feel normal again? sorry for the questions I just don't know anyone else who has had it done...don't mean to be funny just I don't want anyone in theoutside world knowing I've had it done so kind of need to appear normal lol
jynxx I went to see a private consultant on Beaumont and she gave me two options.. I think the first one was banding which is fairly simple quick procedure but the success rate is not great whereas removing them is successful but obviously painful and two nights in hospital. I got them from pregnancies. I was very constipated in my first two pregnancies and I pushed for over an hour on both those babies to get them out so I was left with haemmorroids...I didn't even know what they were at the time! they irritate me a lot so consultant told me I can choose to just get rid of them. I asked were mine particularly bad and she said no. She said that a huge percentage of woman having had several babies get haemmorroids that you just don't know about it as it's not talked about.
Post Deleted Because: The OP deleted this post
Yes had it done last year. VERY painful afterwards! Needed to wear panty liners after as it weeps - sorry if to much info. ! but wish I had been more informed. It will be the 6 weeks recovery. I am very into my exercise and am glad to say that I was able to keep it up. Did cut back on the spinning for a while tho:-) good as new now and really forgotten re pain. Well worth it.

Charles Manson, the evil man who orchestrated ten murders committed by his cult of followers in 1969, has died and gone to hell at the age of 83.
The end came for Manson at a hospital in Bakersfield, California.
Convicted of the murders in 1970, Manson has been in a California prison ever since.
The Associated Press recounts the crimes and subsequent trial:
A petty criminal who had been in and out of jail since childhood, the charismatic, guru-like Manson surrounded himself in the 1960s with runaways and other lost souls and then sent his disciples to butcher some of L.A.'s rich and famous in what prosecutors said was a bid to trigger a race war — an idea he got from a twisted reading of the Beatles song "Helter Skelter."
The slayings horrified the world and, together with the deadly violence that erupted later in 1969 during a Rolling Stones concert at California's Altamont Speedway, exposed the dangerous, drugged-out underside of the counterculture movement and seemed to mark the death of the era of peace and love.
Despite the overwhelming evidence against him, Manson maintained during his tumultuous trial in 1970 that he was innocent and that society itself was guilty.
"These children that come at you with knives, they are your children. You taught them; I didn't teach them. I just tried to help them stand up," he said in a courtroom soliloquy.
"Michele Hanisee, president of the Association of Deputy District Attorneys, reacted to the death by quoting the late Vincent Bugliosi, the Los Angeles prosecutor who put Manson behind bars. Bugliosi said: 'Manson was an evil, sophisticated con man with twisted and warped moral values,' " AP reported.
"Today, Manson's victims are the ones who should be remembered and mourned on the occasion of his death," Hanisee concluded.
"The sister of Charles Manson's victim Sharon Tate said a prayer for his 'soul' after she was told of the notorious cult leader's death at the age of 83 on Sunday," the Independent reported:
Debra Tate, whose pregnant sister was among those killed by the Manson Family cult, told US broadcaster CBS that she was called shortly after his death by the prison where he had been incarcerated.
She said she was still processing the news, but added she had "said a prayer for Manson's soul and has forgiven the family but refuses to forget what they did".

The Estes Park Senior Center will be closing at the beginning of the year, and with services being transferred over to the Estes Valley Community Center, a number of community organizations are proposing uses for the space of the soon to be vacant building.
The Estes Valley Investment in Childcare Success (EVICS) is one of those groups hoping to convince the Town to proceed with their proposal. EVICS exists to promote and support quality early childhood services. They also provide education and resources to parents in the Estes Valley.
Their hope is that the Town contracts with a qualified childcare operator who would provide that service in the vacant building. Childcare is something that is desperately needed in the Estes Valley, according to EVICS Director Nancy Almond.
"In our community we are very, very limited on childcare, especially infant and toddler care," Almond said.
Almond said there are no childcare centers in Estes Park that take care of children under 2 and a half years old. There are six in-home licensed providers, but they are restricted to only two babies/toddlers, and only six children total, and that includes any of the provider's own children.
"We are proposing [to the Town] that we could assist in finding a qualified operator," Almond said. "We could assist in locating and finding an interested, viable, qualified childcare operator. We would also assist in fundraising for improvements that would need to be made to the building."
Almond said that EVICS had already had an architect look at the building to see about upgrades. A preliminary estimate for the cost of improvements would be approximately $70,000. She said that she doesn't anticipate problems with raising those funds, and it could be a combination of outside sources, grants and local fundraising.
EVICS will get an opportunity to present their case for the building at a January Town Board meeting. They will be presenting along with Estes Park Senior Citizens Center Inc. and the Estes Valley Museum in hopes of claiming the vacant space.
"We have lost so many young families in our community [because of the lack of childcare]," Almond said. "[EVICS] is charged with finding safe places for families to take their children, and we wouldn't be doing out job if we didn't pursue this."

Another highlight of the day were the young Ibis chicks all at different stages of development. I like to see them with their (still clean) white feathers, fluffy heads and shorter beaks. They really look like cuter more innocent versions of their parents.
Some were practicing flight, doing funny aerobatic tricks in the air, others were begging their parents for food.

Boeing and Airborne Services signed a licensing agreement for the maintenance and repair of Apache helicopter rotor blades, at the Paris Air Show. With this agreement, the international Boeing operator network will now have an alternative option when it comes to rotor blade repairs.
Boeing Authorized Licensee
A licensing agreement signed during the Paris Air Show between The Boeing Company and Airborne Services enables Airborne to perform the maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) of rotor blades for international operators of the Apache helicopter.
The increased need for MRO came about as a result of the Royal Netherlands Air Force (RNLAF) spending more hours flying the Apache helicopter fleet. The Dutch Airforce Logistics Center – Woensdrecht (LCW) wanted to have a local partner as an extra source of support to help to increase capacity and create flexibility. Airborne Services was one of the LCW's local partners with the capability to support the Apache helicopter fleet.
Airborne Services currently supports the RNLAF in the NH-90, Cougar, Chinook and Apache helicopter component maintenance and has a state-of-the-art repair facility at the main support base. This allows Airborne to complement the LCW with additional MRO capabilities for Apache main rotor blades.
"Boeing and Airborne have been partners for more than 15 years," said Maria Laine, vice president, Boeing International Strategic Partnerships. "By teaming with specialized international partners we continue to offer affordability, short repair turn-around time and aircraft readiness for Boeing operators around the world."
Air Commodore Mario Verbeek, director Sustainment and Logistics, RNLAF, also attended the event and said: "As an operator of the AH-64 we benefit by this agreement to increase the availability of our helicopters."
Representatives from Boeing, Airborne, the RNLAF, and the Netherlands Ministry of Economic Affairs were present to observe the licensing agreement signing.
Airborne Services Director Marco Brinkman concluded: "We look forward to collaborating with Boeing and serving the military helicopter market in this part of the world."

The Analytical Center has held a Round Table on the optimization of the taxes in the oil and gas sector as the country is facing a short-term budget deficit. During the Round Table experts discussed possible changes to the key tax and export tariff rates levied on the oil and gas sector in 2016-2018, including the rate changes being implemented as part of the efforts to adjust the tax maneuver. Experts also considered some scenarios involving changes in the budget revenue, the financial situation and the production performance of oil and gas companies depending on the kinds of taxes they have to pay.
"Almost half of the federal budget revenue comes from the oil industry; and in 2015, it accounted for about 40 % of the federal budget revenue. The revenue of the oil and gas sector (about 80%) paid for industry growth," said the Head of the taxation, customs and rates policy in the oil and gas sector of the Oil and Natural Gas Production and Transport Department of the Russian Ministry for Energy, Roman Kabakov. According to him, since early 2015, the Government has been implementing a tax maneuver in the oil and gas industry in order to shift the bulk of the tax burden from exports to production by gradually reducing the export tariffs on oil and petroleum products while simultaneously increasing the rate of the mineral resources extraction tax levied on oil. At the same time, the parameters of the tax maneuver were calculated while the oil prices were still high and now they are much lower with no prospect of oil getting more expensive any time soon, the specialist explained. "Naturally, the Finance Ministry is concerned about the short-term problems stemming from budget deficit and the easiest way to boost budget revenue is by levying more tax on the oil and gas sector," Kabakov believes.
The government official reminded those present that in late January 2016, the Finance Ministry developed a draft proposal to increase the excise on motor fuel, which was backed by the government. "The finance ministry estimates that the higher excise should generate an extra RUB 90 billion in tax revenue. Our estimates are similar," Kabakov said, "but this increase does not take into account the VAT factor that plays a role when the final consumer prices for motor oil are set and that translates into an additional increase of about 18%. Therefore, we are facing a direct risk that fuel prices may go up."
There are also problems with the possible changes of the mineral resources extraction tax for oil. The proposed change would reduce the exemption from USD 15 to USD 7.5 a barrel, the official noted. "This proposal completely upends the entire taxation system in the oil industry to favor the state's interests and increasing the tax burden on the oil extraction companies," Mr. Kabakov pointed out.
Inna Rykova, the Head of the Centre for Sector Economics of the Financial Research Institute, believes that the current system is quite good at protecting the short-term interests of oil companies by damping the impact of oil price and currency exchange rate fluctuations but it does not do enough to take into account the diversity of oil production, transport and selling conditions. "The overall tax burden on the oil industry is hardly critical today, but the effectiveness of the current taxation system for both the treasury and the industry has been falling for quite some time," the expert said.
Artem Plaksin, the Head of the Center for Monitoring and Assessment of the Energy Policy and Energy Efficiency Committee of the Russian Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs, believes that the Finance Ministry's innovations will not change the structure of the industry, will only have a short-term effect and create conditions that may foster a crisis. "If the Government wants to raise taxes it must only be done when the economy is rising and not when it is shrinking," the expert is sure. In his opinion companies need to optimize the costs they incur as a result of regulatory requirements found in laws and statutory acts.

From the Hunterstown Morning Sun, Monday, July 20, 2009
Amber Alert Too Late, Suspect Apprehended
Gettysburg, Pennsylvania (AP) – An Amber Alert issued by the Pennsylvania State Police in Straban Township yesterday came just two hours too late for a missing Hunterstown teen. The body of Jessica Anon, 13, daughter of Glenda Anon of Hunterstown, and Philip Anon, of Greenbelt, Maryland, was discovered in a small wooded area along U.S. 15 south of York Street. Witnesses reported seeing a car enter a construction area at approximately 5:00 p.m., one hour and 55 minutes before the Amber Alert was issued.
Jessica was playing softball at the Straban Township ball fields next to the rear parking area of the Crossroads Casino, Resort and Spa, located adjacent to the Gateway Gettysburg complex on U.S. 30 just east of Route 15. Several of her friends saw her talking to an adult male after the game, and then get into his car at approximately 4:50 p.m.
Missy Null, also of Hunterstown, thought Anon was being picked up by her estranged father. "We all figured it was her dad, taking her for a visit," said Null. "It wasn't until her mom showed up about 5:30 that things started to look bad. We told her mom about Jessie getting into the car with her dad, and she started to freak. She called Jessie's dad on the phone and he claimed he was still at work in D.C. Mrs. Anon collapsed, and my friend Janie grabbed her cell phone and called 911."
Pennsylvania State Police and Casino Security responded to the scene, along with ambulances from Huntertown and Gettysburg. Movement to and from the scene was hampered because of the heavy traffic. A photograph of Jessica was obtained from her mother at the scene, and taken to the local Comcast Cable Corporation building on Baltimore Street east of Gettysburg. Channel 10, the cable system's local access channel began broadcasting the Amber Alert at 6:55 P.M. The local TV stations in Harrisburg, York, Lancaster, and northern Maryland were contacted and the Amber Alert was broadcast for several hours. It was cancelled approximately 10 p.m., about an hour after Jessica's body was found.
Acting on a phoned tip, State Police began searching the construction area behind the A&S housing project along U.S. 15 at about 7:45. The area, scene of high density construction by A&S Builders for the past two years, is the location of low income housing units clustered at the edge of the last acre of trees in the once wooded tract. Police K-9 units aided in the search. Her body was discovered by a K-9 unit behind a swale, and blocked from view by large construction dumpsters.
Home video shot at the ball field by one of the girls allowed police to get a description of the man, and his vehicle, but no other identifying info was obtainable. Surveillance video from the casino enabled police to get a license plate image and thus were able to put out an alert for a tan older model Toyota, with Maryland tags, belonging to a Fin D'Innocenzia, 34, of Timonium, Maryland. D'Innocenzia was apprehended along U.S. Route 70 at approximately midnight last night, by an alert Maryland State Trooper. He is being held in the Frederick County jail in Frederick, pending charges and extradition to Pennsylvania.
D'Innocenzia's driver's license photo was identified by three of the girls from the ball field, and by the two witnesses that saw him driving into the construction area shortly after 5:00 p.m.
FBI agents from Harrisburg are aiding in the investigation because of the apparent interstate nature of the crime.
In an emotional press conference at 2:00 a.m., Sgt. Benjamin Voyd, of the Pennsylvania State Police issued the following statement:
At approximately 5 p.m. this afternoon, Jessica Anon, of Hunterstown was abducted from the ball fields next to the Crossroads Casino, Resort and Spa. Acting on information from her mother, and her friends, an Amber Alert was issued shortly before 7:00 p.m. As a result of the Amber Alert, tips received by telephone resulted in the discovery and recovery of Jessie at about 9:00 p.m. With the cooperation of the security service from the casino, video surveillance tapes led to the identification of the vehicle in which Jessie was abducted as belonging to one Fin D'Innocenzia, of Timonium, Maryland. Mr. D'Innocenzia was identified by two witnesses as the driver of the vehicle seen entering the area where Jessie's body was found. Mr. D'Innocenzia was also identified by witnesses at the scene of the abduction. We will not comment at this time on rumors that Mr. D'Innocenzia has a record as a sexual predator. Maryland State Police apprehended Mr. D'Innocenzia a short time ago, and are holding him at Frederick, Maryland, pending charges and extradition proceedings. Maryland State Police also inform us that they have recovered Jessie's baseball glove, and her jersey from Mr. D'Innocenzia's car.
According to the security force at the casino, D'Innocenzia was asked to leave the premises about 4:20 p.m. because of panhandling and drunken behavior. Surveillance video shows him getting into his car and driving through the parking area, toward the access road to the ball fields. A shift supervisor at the casino security office made the decision to end surveillance once D'Innocenzia's vehicle exited the casino property and entered the public thoroughfare leading to the ball fields.
We would like to thank the FBI for helping to get things established across the state line, and the National Park Service law enforcement staff for assisting in the investigation and providing volunteers for the search.
Phone calls to David LeVan, president of Chance Enterprises, the group of out of town investors who built the casino, were not returned. Mr. LeVan was vacationing on his ranch out west. Mrs. Barbara Ernico, the investor who stepped into the duties of publicity specialist for Chance, at first refused to speak to reporters. Later she issued the following statement:
Chance Enterprises no longer has any connection with the Crossroads Casino, Resort and Spa, having sold its interest in the facility several months ago to Wynn Resorts, Ltd., owned by Steve Wynn. Chance Enterprises regrets the unfortunate events of yesterday but sees no connection between the acts of an obviously deranged individual, and Chance's former casino.When reached for comment, Mrs. Ernico said, "It would have happened even if we hadn't built the casino."
We regret the death of a Jessie Anon. We are appalled that the casino has brought this level of crime to the Gettysburg Area. We were against the casino from the start, thinking it was a bad idea, and very risky socially. Our hearts go out to the Anon family.
The Straban Township supervisors also issued a statement:
We deeply regret this unfortunate incident, and wish to express our deepest sympathy to the Anon family. We would like to thank the Pennsylvania State Police, the FBI, the National Park Service and the Maryland State Police for their able assistance in bringing this episode to a conclusion so quickly.
The Supervisors feel that had the state legislature listened to our pleas for an increased cut from the casino, Straban Township would have had its own police force to deal with this situation, and the outcome might have been different for Jessie.
Formal charges are expected to be filed by the Adams County District Attorney's office by the end of the day tomorrow, but extradition hearings may begin before that, as the FBI is filing interstate flight charges against D'Innocenzia in Federal Court in Harrisburg this afternoon.
In an article in the Hanover Evening Sun, Sunday, December 19, 2005, Mrs. Ernico, speaking as the publicity person for Chance Enterprises, made the following statements:
"It's not good enough to just operate a business - we have to be good community citizens, and we will be."
"I don't think you are going to see an increase in problem gambling, and that's the same for divorce, suicide, prostitution, child abuse and crime - including organized".
"Ultimately, if we allow people to drive drunk or cause other problems - it affects our reputation. We can't, and we won't allow that to happen."
"The people who make up this county have strong values and a high work ethic - I don't think there's going to be social problems, I could be wrong, sure - but if I am, there's money there to deal with it."
"Be steadfast in your anger, be sure in your convictions, be moved by the right and certainty that abuse of power must be defeated at every turn; uphold Liberty as the just reward of a watchful people, and let not those who have infringed upon that Liberty steal it away from you. Never loosen your grip on Liberty!"
"Legislation without representation is tyranny."

Prudence Johnson & Dan Chouinard - Gershwin
Most Americans probably can hum a bar or two of at least one George Gershwin tune. Gershwin wrote popular songs in jazz, opera and for movies in a very short career in the early part of the 20th century. He died at the young age of 38, but he left behind a catalogue of songs that most of us know — or as Prudence Johnson and Dan Chouinard say, "Should know."
Prudence and Dan have collaborated before, but their latest project is a collection of 18 George Gershwin songs on an album titled simply Gershwin. It was released May 10, 2015, and celebrated with a sold-out concert at the Dakota in Minneapolis." -89.3 the Current MPR

Thoughts on Voice
© 2003 Jane MacDonald
by Jane MacDonald
A member of my writing group posted a note on "voice" recently
that got a rise out of me, and I've been thinking about
it since. The word "voice," as used in literature, seems to have
several meanings, and a lot of people mix them up.
One meaning has to do with the way specific stories or novels
are written. Some stories, for example, are told in the vernacular;
others are much more formal. These different ways ought to suit
the stories being told; you don't tell a Wild West story in parlor
Another meaning involves characters. Mr. Micawber's voice is *his*
voice, and we would know who's speaking even if Dickens didn't
tell us. The voice of a sixteen-year-old ingenue is going to be
different from that of the thirty-year-old male villain, even
in print.
Finally, there's the unique writer's voice. That's what makes
it easy to tell Hemingway from Nabokov. In everything those
men wrote, they were Hemingway or Nabokov, and there is no
mistaking the difference. Part of this, I suspect, has to do with
the kinds of things they wrote, and part with their own natural ways of
handling the language.
This last definition is used by musicians and artists as well.
Liszt and Wagner were contemporaries, but nobody's going to mix
them up (unless they hear some of the stuff Wagner stole from Liszt,
and even then it's not the same). Anybody can tell Dali from
Miro, or Delvaux from Magritte. Their voices are distinct, though
they're all surrealists.
All of us have to think about the first two kinds of voice, whatever
we write. We must tell our stories in prose that befits them.
Our child characters must speak like children, our adults like adults.
But the third kind of voice we don't have to worry about, or think
about--it's who we are. Even in my writers' group the voices differ.
When I read a story by Maggie Meltzer, I know it's not one
of Susan Townsend's. I don't think anybody's ever going to mix
up Alan Goodman and Mark Kline, or Steven Hoadley and Tony
Thomas, and I doubt that any of them ever gave a lot of thought to
"developing" their voices. If they did, I suspect it would show--they
wouldn't be the unique writers they are.
Voice matters. Different readers prefer different authors, and
part of the reason is the different voices. Some voices please
me; some don't. I suspect that when "workshopped" is a
pejorative term, it means lacking in individuality; in a word, it
means bland.
Being something less than world famous, I'm hardly one to hand
down rules, but also being at least mildly obnoxious,
I'll do it anyhow. Don't worry about your voice. When you
have the essentials down pat, and know how to write what you
want to write, your voice will be there, not because
you planned it that way, but because you're you, and nobody else.
Here are, first, a dictionary definition of "voice," and then
the results of a short and cursory search for articles on the matter:
AHD4: The distinctive style or manner of expression of an author
or of a character in a book.
Mort Castle discusses "voice" in its meaning as the way to match
the tone of the narrator or a character to the story being told:
Sol Stein, an eminent editor, has a fairly confusing article that
mixes up the meanings here:
Laura Backes, writing for authors of kiddie lit, confuses us here,
too, though her article is good:
Deb Stover wrote "The Voice Fairy," the best thing I found that
concentrates on the uniqueness of a writer's voice:

Still lost in the archives… Found a 2008 release on 12REC – Austrian Country Music. Country & Western is not my favourite music style but i still like this EP. It's warm, personal and spiced with failure…
"Protestant Work Ethic is Simon Usaty. Simon is songwriter and one half of KES (alongside Bernard Bauch), eventually Vienna's finest alternative Rock- and Country-outfit and long-time inside tip (listen to "Nordwaggon" on12rec.032). According to the name of his solo-project, Simon stripped of every superfluous knick-knack, focussing on a few acoustic instruments and his juvenile voice. But as a protestant work ethic might imply a success-orientated, rather rational concept for life, Simon decided to break with the cultural surplus of his moniker in this point. His work ethic is an emotional one.
In North America, kids grow up with Folklore and Country-music. And although 99% of the commercial Western & Country-genre is bullshit, one percent settles seed in bands like Wilco, Califone or the Bright Eyes. Right here, Simon Usaty manages what so little European musicians achieve: authentic, alternative Country-music. His voice has a certain moment of failure, still he's an awesome vocalist, on stage and on his recordings. The chords he picks draw influence from Folk and Blues, the instruments are well chosen: acoustic guitar, banjo next to harmonica, chimes, accordion and bits of percussion. The overall feel of his EP is melancholy, but every now and then Simon pushes aside the clouds ("Walk the Plank"), at least a bit. Beach Boys-style vocal harmonies ("Weather Side") take turns with introspective instrumentals ("Duba Ktana") and shyly shivering gems of Pop-songwriting ("Set Out to Take on")."

Continuing along last week's self-care theme of work/life balance being a myth, I wanted to point you to a guest post I wrote recently for the Yellow Conference on "The Impact of Planning a Personal Retreat." Now that we're entering the second quarter of 2017, I know I find myself needing to reevaluate my goals for the year, as well as the work I've done so far.
Depending on the seasons in which your organization operates, you may even already be approaching burnout. Don't let it happen! Please take an opportunity to get away and reflect on the first quarter's progress, your role, and your plans for the next eight months.
Retreats differ from vacations because they have a purpose other than "relaxing." When I plan a retreat, I usually have a couple of large goals in mind that need to be accomplished outside of my normal environment.
And retreats, whether taken by yourself or as a team, can be invaluable for gaining clarity and perspective.
I believe those who lead cause-focused organizations can easily reach burnout or become bogged down by the mission because of the nature of the work. True, this can happen to anyone, anywhere, but when your nonprofit or business exists to solve a social problem, the work feels more urgent. And often, you know the faces of those in need. Therefore, it's difficult to take a step back, no matter how necessary it may seem.
However, it's often when you bravely set aside the time for yourself, you can actually recharge and come back to the immediate pressures more equipped and able to tackle the tasks at hand. That is something you won't regret.
Learn more about my experience with a personal retreat, as well as a few tips for planning your own:
And, funny enough, I wrote along the same theme for a different color. Here are some more tips on how to make retreats a priority as well as how to actually fit them into your schedule in this guest post for Orange Leaders.
I'm Kristi Porter, and I started Signify to provide writing, consulting and strategy services to nonprofits and for-profit organizations with a social mission, primarily through copywriting, marketing and business communications. I believe that cause-focused organizations like yours are the future of business. You're proof that companies can both make money and do good. And I'm here to help you get noticed and grow. When you succeed, we all win.
