If you follow me on instagram (here), you will have seen me post a photo of this bargain yesterday & I just had to share it with you today because it is one not to be missed! This Crabtree & Evelyn La Source Luxury Gift Box was originally priced at £50/€63, but is now reduced to £15/€20 in Boots. This was originally released as part of their Christmas collection and even at the original price, it would have been a good buy, considering the number of products in there.
The box contains a large 500ml Relaxing Body Wash, a large 500ml Relaxing Body Lotion, a 100g Moisturising Soap and two Hand Therapy creams: a 25g and a 50g. If these were purchased individually, they would cost £91/€125, so you can imagine how happy I am with this bargain! The box the products come in is beautiful and I will definitely keep it for storage. The scent from the products is clean and fresh - like freshly washed cotton, rather than a zingy, uplifting fresh. As soon as I opened the box, the scent hit me & filled the room. I am really excited about using these products and am tempted to buy another one!
This would make a perfect gift or just a nice treat for yourself, without breaking the bank! If you like the look/sound of this, then I would recommend ordering it immediately as these are bound to sell out quickly! And don't forget that you can earn points with your Advantage card!
Are you tempted to buy one of these sets? Tell me what bargains you have found recently!

In a mathematical space whose coordinates represent the state of a dynamical system (i.e., a state space), periodic orbits are the set of equilibrium states. If all of the periodic orbits in this abstract dynamical landscape are unstable, the system's temporal evolution will never settle down to any one of them. Instead, system's behavior wanders incessantly in a sequence of close approaches to these orbits. The more unstable an orbit, the less time the system spends near it. Unstable Periodic Orbits (UPOs) form the "skeleton" of nonlinear dynamics, and one can build a model of a system by counting and characterizing its UPOs in a hierarchy of orbits with increasing periodicity. Model's accuracy can be improved by progressivelly adding longer-period orbits to the hierarchy. The dynamical landscape can then be tesselated into regions of the state space centered around these UPOs. Orbit locations and stability can also offer short-term predictions for the system's future states. This type of predictive model can be used for parametric control of nonlinear systems, whether they are chaotic or not. However, rigorous identification of UPOs from noisy experimental data is a difficult task.
There's a straightforward method for identification of UPOs which relies on the recurrence of patterns in state space, though that's a very rare event (i.e., a state repeatedly returning near an orbit) in the reality of short and nonstationary datasets. There's another method based on a local dynamics data transformation, which acts as a dynamical lens so that the new datasets are concentrated about distinct UPOs, helping to offset the usual scarcity of trajectories near UPOs. With the additional ability to identify complex higher period orbits by using only fragments of trajectories near those orbits, identification of UPOs was successfully achieved in various experimental settings, including epileptiform activities from the human cortex.
Tracking "parameter" changes from the inherently nonstationary data of, e.g., neurological systems, with UPOs has also been accomplished, as this is a strong requirement for UPO-based control of nonlinear systems. Furthermore, this tracking could be used to detect changes in system state due to intrinsic "parameter" variations (e.g., the transition to epileptic seizures), extrinsic effects (e.g., due to electromagnetic fields), or even perceptual discrimination.

Social media comprises of a major part of our lives on a day to day basis. There are several social media applications like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, etc. that have taken hold of our lives in a very strong way.
While it is fun to use Social media apps, they can also be used in order to promote business and make a considerable amount of money off it.
Creating a business and marketing on Social media might seem to be an easy task but isn't so. It is often difficult to keep track of these applications at one go. If you want your website do well; you need to have a good presence in all the social channels.
To help you out in managing all your social media, we present to you top tools used by people all over the world to do so.But before before begin let's know some basic information.
How to choose a right social channel?
There are many social channels available now and the mistake we often do is that we strive hard to be there in all of them. You need to select your audience and target them with right content on the right social Channel.
How can create the information you want your audience to read in blog, video or picture format. With different social channels come different forms of communication and audience.
Narrow down on how you want to share your information so that managing your social channels can become easier.
Best practices to manage multiple social channels
Let us now discuss on the ways in which we can maintain our social channels, keeping our audiences hooked to what we have to offer.
1. Make sure your content is unique on every social channel. You have to ensure that you put the right content on the right channel. Each social network addresses a different as well as same audience. You need to keep this in mind when designing your content.
2. Frequency of the posts is different for each social channel. For example, you can post once on your Facebook page and promote it for multiple shares. You can keep sending tweets with small messages and updating about your work. You can check our post on Best time to post on social media.
Each channel works differently and hence the frequency of posting is also different. Make sure you do not irritate your audience by too many posts.
3. Content should not be a SPAM You need to ensure that the content that you are sharing does not act like SPAM messages. If it is too self-promoting then the readers will soon lose interest in what you have to say. Make sure that your content is a mix of promotion and about the product.
4. Do not post if it is not needed. Make sure you are not bombing your viewers, followers, friends every second of the day with the information that they don't need or are already aware of. If you have something new and exciting to share you should utilize the right channel with right content.
It can be quite tiring and confusing to manage social channels and you might end up in posting a content that you should not! How can we solve this problem? Simple – Start using a tool to have an efficient way of sharing posts across many social channels.

You guys, this Saturday Night Live parody commercial sent tears streaming down my face. It starts out like a DiGiorno pizza ad -- you know, it's not delivery, it's DiGiorno? Except this pizza isn't delivery, and it's not exactly pizza, either. It's Almost Pizza.
So what is "Almost Pizza"? WE NEVER FIND OUT. But whatever it is, it's super creepy. A slice accidentally gets flung down on the floor where it does some unspeakable things. Things no food should ever, ever do. Holy cannoli, just thinking about it makes me writhe. Have a look!
I am so with Bill Hader on this: What the f*ck?!? I love how Kristen Wiig pretends to eat a slice -- and how the upbeat commercial music just keeps going even while they argue over what the hell is that stuff? Meanwhile, the Almost Pizza just gets weirder and weirder! You know, kind of like practically everything else you'll find in the freezer aisle.
Because this is clearly all about how freaky processed food has gotten. I never thought I'd see a "real food" sketch on SNL, but here it is. Think of all the other "fakey" food products out there that can't legally be called what they're pretending to be. Things like ...
- Miracle Whip: Almost mayonnaise
- Cool Whip: Almost whipped cream
- American Slices: Almost cheese
- Bacos: Almost bacon bits
- Non-Dairy Creamer Powder: Almost half-n-half
- Log Cabin syrup: Almost maple syrup
I should probably stop there. I'm starting to picture little "cheeze" slices and bacon-flavored flakes dancing around the floor with the "Almost Pizza" slice. WHO WILL SAVE US FROM THE SCARY "ALMOST" FOODS? Shudder.
Do you harbor a secret love for any of these "fake" foods or is it real food all the way for you?

Are Hipsters the Modern Dandies? – Analytical Essay Example
It is a well known fact that being a hipster is mainly a state of mind, a self-viewed image intertwined with sense of fashion and lifestyle. Hipsters are people with androgynous styles, both in hair and in clothes and it is a central part of their dogma not to be put under the influence of the modern world.
People who live their lives as outsiders from the norms of the majority reject the attitudes of the mainstream consumers who tend to wear and praise the fashion the designers and stores represent. Not being a piece of the puzzle is a part of them, as well as not being influenced by media, mainstream choices and advertising.
A hipster is a modern figure with a history and literature behind, being a representation of the dandies from the eighteen century. For those that are not familiar with the term dandy, this was known to be a man or a woman who portrayed themselves and behaved in a manner quite similar as the hipsters nowadays. Schmid (2002) has defined dandies as people "who place particular importance upon physical appearance, refined language, and leisurely hobbies, pursued with the appearance of nonchalance in a cult of self." Baudelaire described dandies' style as the "cult of self." This is mainly the same definition given to nowadays hipsters and yet another supporter of the claim that this segment of population are the dandies of the modern times. The clothing, appearance and general understanding of others are quite the mirror of both terms, with both hipsters and dandies finding other's appearance inadequate, boring and simply monotonous.

On This Weekend's Menu: Tuna-and-Bean Sandwiches
So there's this sandwich. We've had it bookmarked for months now and every time we've gone to the pantry to see what was there, we've forgotten all about our desires to test out this Italian twist on the classic tuna lunch favorite.
But this weekend... oh, this weekend it will be ours!
We like beans and we like tuna and although we rarely use them together, this dish packs a punch of flavor while leaving our wallets full of the green stuff. We love that it uses items from the pantry without a high overhead and the ingredients can be stocked year round for a quick snack (assuming you have a better memory than we do!
It makes for a prettier presentation than your average tuna sandwich and could even be served to guests if you're entertaining or picnicking. Best of all, it's mayo free so it travels well! Good bread will help on this one; a soft sliced sandwich loaf won't cut it. Try something a bit crustier or even something that comes in "roll" form!

A big part of being prepared for a three or four-year undergraduate course is sorting out personal finances. Living away from home in private accommodation or the halls of residence will cost money, so it's important to make sure that the funds are there to pay for everything from tuition fees to the accommodation.
Student Loans are a necessity for any student who needs to cover the cost and saving in every area of life including studies is averagely impossible, but how do they work, are they as helpful as they seem and what happens when they need to be paid back? Here, we go through the ins and outs in an easy-to-understand way.
What are they?
Student Loans come in two parts: Tuition Loans and Maintenance Loans. The first one covers tuition fees in their entirety, while the second meets the cost of accommodation, food and other essentials. The amount loaned each year is equivalent to the tuition fees paid for Tuition Loans, while the most loaned for maintenance is £5,500 (£7,675 in London).
The application process
Nowadays, you have to apply for a loan online via the Direct.gov website. You need your home address, your passport details and proof of your parents' income in order to get the amount of money you're entitled to.
Before the start of every academic year, you need to ensure that if your circumstances change, you visit this site to make any necessary amendments to your application. You also need to be wary of making the following common mistakes:
- Using your Maintenance Loan to pay for your tuition fees
- Thinking your loan will affect your credit score – it doesn't!
- Over/underestimate the amount needed for either loan
Keeping finances under control
On top of the money received in the form of loans, you might have to get an overdraft facility from your bank. Managing your overdraft can be hard, but as Dan Bowen said in the Guardian:
"It is really important to check your account provides an interest-free overdraft, rather than just assuming it will do so. Also, make sure you know the limit, as charges for exceeding your overdraft are high."
Caution is advisable when using an overdraft. It should only be used in emergency situations.
Credit Rating and eligibility
Your credit score is determined by numerous factors. Many believe that a credit score can affect you from getting a student loan but this is far from true. Past debts play a big role in a credit score result. "As long as you don't owe the Student Loan Company anything already, you should be fine. Having a bad credit rating has no impact whatsoever on your eligibility for a loan, which will come as a relief to many people who have a history of bad financial management. You can make any cuts to increase you're saving, then set up a budget for essentials and stick to it," says a spokesperson from Yorkshire Building Society. Repayments are only taken from future earnings, which will come as a relief to those of you with concerns about your credit rating.
Student Loan repayment
This isn't something that should really be contemplated until your course has been completed, but the good thing about student loans is that repayments are manageable. The amount you repay back every month depends entirely on how much you earn. Here is how repayments work:
- You have to pay something back if earning at least £21,000 a year
- Anyone earning between £21,000-£25,000 will have to pay around £30 a month back
- Anyone earning up to £30,000 will have to pay £67.50 a month
- Anyone over £40,000 per annum has to pay back £142.50 a month, equating to £1,710 a year
The loan repayments equate to 9% of the amount which someone is over the threshold, which is then divided into 12 monthly payments. If you get in touch with the Student Loans Company, which provides all student loans sanctioned by the government, you can pay back more than usual if you feel the need to.
Student debts are typically around the £25,000 mark after a three-year-course reaches its conclusion. This may sound like a lot, but they are manageable, making them a 'good debt'. This means that you have little to worry about as repayments aren't urgent.

Queen of Swords
Jump to navigation Jump to search
The Queen of Swords is a card in the Suit of Swords, part of the Minor Arcana set of the Tarot. Tarot cards are used throughout much of Europe to play tarot card games.[1]
In English-speaking countries, where the games are largely unknown, Tarot cards came to be utilized primarily for divinatory purposes.[1][2]
Rider-Waite symbolism[edit]
- She is extending her hand, perhaps to reach for another; but she also holds her sword firmly before her, perhaps as a warning, a self-protection or a test for another. The PKT says she is familiar with sorrow, so it may be understood in this way.
- Her crown is made up of butterflies, showing the freedom of her thought and her active intellect.
- Note the difference between the pristine white clouds, and the darker ones showing up on the right bottom corner. The latter ones may reflect upon her sorrows, as the PKT has specified. The former - the unusual clarity of her mind and thoughts. Compare with other sword court cards, where the clouds are mostly tarnished.
- The hand in front signifies putting thoughts into action. All the sword cards represent the mind and the element of air all the skyscapes will indicate the "emotion" of the card. This one with clouds low on the horizon mean new ideas or a new enterprise

Stem cell study shows long-term benefits and risks
An analysis of data from 281 people with MS who had stem cell therapy at different centres between 1995 and 2006 found that five years after treatment three quarters of people with relapsing MS and a third of people with progressive forms of MS were free of disability progression. Eight people died due to the treatment. Those who did the best were more likely to be younger, have relapsing remitting MS, have taken fewer disease modifying drugs and have lower levels of disability at the time of treatment.

Cognition and electrical stimulation
A small study looked at people doing cognitive rehab exercises whilst using transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), which applies a small current through electrodes on the scalp. People using the device had improved problem solving ability and response time compared to a group only doing the rehab.

Access to Motability vehicles
Concerns have been raised at the number of people losing entitlement to Motability vehicles due to the reassessment when moving from DLA (Disabled Living Allowance) to PIP (Personal Independence Payment).

However, nothing about AIFW was quite as resplendent as the finale show from the legendary JJ Valaya, and Alpana & Neeraj, whom he mentored before their own rise in the fashion industry.
The whole show gave off a distinct vibe of royalty and luxury. It started off with a dance and music performance, which was reminiscent of a king's court. After that, the models strutted down the runway in ethereally beautiful creations.
The colour palette of the ethnic show was largely comprised of jewel tones like deep navy, luxurious red, and bottle green, all paired with a rustic but beautiful dull gold. The show concluded with JJ Valaya and Alpana & Neeraj coming out on to the ramp after their models.
Basically, we are totally and utterly in love with this show. It's moments like this in the world of fashion that we absolutely live for!

If he applies for a TRV/Visitor visa, how long does it take to process.And, how many days would he be granted to stay in Canada? Can he look for jobs or work with a visitor visa? 3.) Can he apply for an open work permit (even if I am an intra transfer employee) 4.) Where do I have to get my visa work done?

One thing I hate about TV seasons are all the dumb hiatuses they take. I mean some shows don't come back until April. April people! I know it's almost March, but Grey's Anatomy has been off air forever. I don't get it. I'll need to watch a recap episode just to remember what happened months ago in the same season. Anyone know why shows do this? I've often forgotten all about shows when this happens and never watch them again.
At least there's plenty of great shows to keep me going and some of my favorites too! Here's what's on my DVR and Netflix Queue.
I've loved this show from the very beginning and I am so excited it's back. Kevin Bacon is awesome and I like the new cast members that have been added this season. I don't think that season 2 is as thrilling as its first season, but I am still enjoying the story, but I wish it would pick up some speed. It looks like next week's episode will finally take off, but time will tell.
At least there's plenty of great shows to keep me going and some of my favorites too! Here's what's on my DVR and Netflix Queue.
I started watching Dexter a few months ago and I'm on the last season now. I'm trying to draw it out since one it's over it's over. So far I don't care for the storyline and where's it's headed for the finale. I really hate what they've done with Deb, I was finally beginning to really like her! The show is great and I love that there's not a lot of lull episodes in the seasons. I must say that season 5 with Lumen (guest star Julist Stiles) has been my favorite season of them all.
House of Cards is amazing! I didn't think I would like it since I'm not very political (or at least do not think of myself like that), but I was enthralled with the first episode and flew through the first season in just a few days. The full second season was released this past weekend, and although I haven't started it yet (we were busy and out and about all weekend) it is burning a hole in my Netflix account. Luckily, no spoilers have been posted on Facebook, but so many of my friends were posting about how crazy the new season is. I can't wait to watch it!

Well, I'm still telling the dog...
Anyway. There's probably a million and a half cultural references to times when teenagers seek advice from teachers or parents or siblings or friends and get brushed off. I figure I don't really want to bore or frustrate you with my examples, so I'll cut to the part when I start admitting all of my numerous faults to you.
It started in middle school. (It always starts in middle school). It was because of a boy. (It's always because of a boy). It
ended continued badly. (It always goes badly). Basically, I was the shy flute player who had a flash temper and very few friends. Never got invited to parties- still don't. Never got in trouble- still don't. Much. Never got asked out, never got kissed or flirted with or even looked at for more than a second. And him... He was Mr. Unattainable. All the girls liked him. He wasn't a football player or a hunk, he wasn't rich or famous or anything like that. He was just... himself. I'm not going to hand out last names, but I can tell you his first was Nate. As for the football player thing, I think he wrestled. Hunk-wise, I think he's gorgeous even when his hair is cut like that, or when his nose is a little low on his face. Rich or famous? Yeah, right. We're Michigan. We're automatically broke and unknown. But he was amazing. I could go on and on about how amazing he was, and you'd all eventually start throwing up. But I will say this- he paid attention to me. Me! The aforementioned shy flute player who could never come up with a witticism at the right moment. Nate used to walk me to my bus in the afternoons- he rushed past my locker after the last class of the day down the hall to his, then dashed back in time to meet me, no matter how fast I went. He talked to me. Of course I fell for him. At first I was just flattered for the attention- but the more I talked to him, the more he made me laugh just by looking at me, the more I started reconsidering my position.
Bear in mind, it was eighth grade, and despite their liberal assurances, my parents are very conservative.
He was off-limits. It wasn't necessarily him- it was anyone who the term "him" applied to. And if I'd tried talking to them about a "her", then I would have gotten shipped to Antarctica or something. (They pretend to be tolerant, but they act different around gay people, and they would pretty much hate me if I was gay). Anyway. I was prepared to hide it, prepared to lie to them- which I never did in those days- for this guy. I would have done anything, and all he had to do was ask.
Problem was, he didn't.
And about two weeks before my birthday, he asked.
Someone else.
Lauren. I knew her, everyone did. She was the Miss Popular to his Mr. Unattainable. And she was a friend of mine. I don't know how that happened- I was so invisible I couldn't see myself in the mirror half the time- but she knew how I felt about him. And he knew how I felt about him. At least, I thought he did. I hoped he did. So you can see why walking toward the door at the end of a good day, waiting for Nate because I was ready first for once, but seeing him standing at Lauren's locker stroking her nut-brown hair and making her laugh, totally ruined the next two weeks for me.
Okay, so they ruined a lot more than two weeks.
In fact, that moment kinda ruined the past three years for me.
I've stopped crying about it, but it still hurts. You all know how that feels. Like you were worth something, like you weren't a waste of space- and then, all of a sudden, you were. The thing is, though, and I don't know if it's just how this goes or not- I can't get him out of my head. Not for four years- this is including eighth grade, too. And there was this... this magic to him. Even thinking about him, even writing this, makes me remember and want to smile or cry, and it makes my heart speed up and my mouth go dry and my whole self go all tingly. The truth is, ladies and gentlemen, I honestly think I didn't just like him.
I think I may love him.
Which is why this is such a problem.
If it weren't enough that he broke my heart and went to the other high school in town- we have three, which is really weird considering we're in the middle of almost nowhere- he moved a few months ago to freaking North Carolina. This would be an appropriate time for a facepalm, I think. Plus this guy has a fade-in-fade-out thing going on. I won't be able to get him you of my head for about a month, then I'll forget for about three and start looking at other guys, then he'll pop up on Facebook or something and I'll be hung up on him for another month. Just after he moved, I decided to friend him on Facebook- with a lot of pushing and shoving from my co-conspirator/best bud Cooper- and he started messaging me. Basically, the conversation went a lot like "Hi, sorry about eighth grade, wish things were different, wish I could see you again, wish we could be together".
Well, crap.
And it only gets worse from here.
See, freshman year I went to a brand new school, all new faces. Most of the kids from my middle school went to the other high school- I live right across from the rival one, so that's where I went. We got split up, so even if he'd cared about me, I didn't have a chance to try and win him back. I joined the marching band, which was probably the best thing that could have ever happened to me, ever, and bit by bit, I got over Nate-of-the-fantastic-smiles. There was another boy. (There usually is, right?) This one was probably the only guy I've liked since eighth grade who wasn't like Nate in one way or another. His name was Chirag- yes, an Indian. Who cares? He was into politics and debate, so we argued a lot, but it was all good-natured arguing, more like debate than anything else. He was funny, too, and we had a lot to talk about. He wasn't in the band, but he said all the time that he wished he was, and I persuaded him to pick up his trombone again. We were getting to be pretty close, and rumors at the school all reported that any day would find us an undeniable couple.
Then he tells us all that his parents have decided to move him to Arkansas.
Another facepalm moment.
What is it with me and guys who move away from me? Do I like drive them away or something?
Last year, right in the middle of February, he came back for a little bit, and we walked around the school and then around the neighborhood. He said he was looking for my buddy Cooper- but when he wasn't home, Chirag didn't seem to mind walking around with me. We talked for maybe three hours. Then he had to leave, and I haven't seen him since. He came back about two weeks ago for another brief visit, but I was at band practice and then at camp, so I don't know if he tried to contact me or not. And in the time since he left, I got a new phone and haven't had a chance to give him the number.
I either have great luck that I have a chance with all these wonderful guys- or horrible luck that they keep moving away.
So now we come to numero... um, let me figure this out, I've never taken Spanish... Uno, dos... tres! Number tres. This guy was... I don't know what he was, but he wasn't like Nate or Chirag. His name was Jeff. And he was a senior to my sophomore. Yikes! I didn't see it until after I made up my mind that I most certainly did NOT like him, but he had a few similarities to Nate. He plays clarinet, he's got bright green eyes, he likes Star Wars, and he can be very gentlemanlike at times. I think maybe that was the reason I liked him in the first place.
Oh dear. It's later than I thought it was.
I'll finish this up later. For now, I think that's enough juice.
Comment all you like- any advice is welcome!!!!

From 08/24/11, the Prize Draw gives way to a Slot Machine. Never fear, it still works with the same tickets and could really pay off! Rather than rewarding just one player with a very big prize, this time round we've chosen to give everyone a lot more chances to win Clintz (the Jackpot is set at 10,000 Clintz!!).You'll still receive a free ticket per day when you log onto the site but now they'll be stockpiled even if you don't play them on the same day and can then be played all in one go! Come and experience the thrill of the casino without spending a dime but don't forget the Montanas'tip…

only 10k?

Hmmm so no other way to get big name crs other than elo? balls need to work on elo a bit more then!
Zoidberg1 Legend the courtyard of shadows Tuesday 23/08/2011, 21:39
I would rather not see the CR's disapear there is no way I can save enough to get the top CR's now
Dragon1der Colossus Limit Break Tuesday 23/08/2011, 21:58
This should have been put into place in addition to the regular lottery. Options are good but loss of the ability to obtain CR's is going to hurt. 10K clintz sounds like a "nice" prize but I'm undecided if its worth it.
YorkMorgan_UM Imperator URBAN MADNESS Tuesday 23/08/2011, 22:00
I hope that there will be card prizes as well..
Tanto89 Imperator X. LycurguS .X Tuesday 23/08/2011, 22:14
for me (and maybe many high level players), it might be better to go big or go home
one chance to win big CR is better than many chance to win 10K

I wish I had a tomato. Instead, I get snow.
That is what we woke up to on New Year's day.
I would easily trade all this snow for a fresh tomato that I can slice as thick as I want, because I have so many tomatoes. My garden has given me so many tomatoes, and my CSA box is overflowing with them, I can hardly keep up. I can eat slices of juicy red tomato on thick slices of good bread, with nothing but salt to help create a bite of perfection. Instead, I got a blizzard followed by temperatures of minus 15 Celsius, which is about 5 degrees Farenheit.
That was over 3 months ago. At least now I can enjoy the fruits of my labour when I open a jar of salsa or take a container of tomato sauce from the freezer, but a fresh tomato I cannot have. I broke down last week and bought a Quebec hydroponic tomato, which cost over a dollar, and tasted like … well, like nothing.
Even though I long for fresh produce, I am enjoying the food I 'put by'. A few days ago I made a stew from my frozen tomato sauce, along with some pork from the quarter pig I bought, and some root vegetables from my winter CSA box. It was my first time using a crock pot, and it was deemed a success. I borrowed the slow cooker from my grandmother, who doesn't seem to use it anymore. I couldn't find the manual, but I figured it would be pretty straight forward — and it was. I randomly filled the crock with some strips of pork, 2 quartered onions, some large pieces of carrot, rutabaga, and potato, a frozen 1-liter container of tomato sauce, a glass of red wine, some thyme, salt and pepper. I turned on the slow cooker and came back 8 hours later to a bowl of delicious.
Today I will pick up my winter CSA box, but I am pretty sure there won't be any tomatoes in it.

Australia along with over 60 other countries signed the Multilateral Convention to Implement Tax Treaty Related Measures to Prevent Base Erosion and Profit Shifting in Paris on 7 June 2017. While the text of the BEPS treaty, commonly known as the Multilateral Instrument or MLI, has been public since last November (see our earlier Tax Brief), we now have more insight into what it means as the detailed lists of treaties covered, reservations and notifications for signing countries have been published. These lists are not final – the binding lists only need to be provided on ratification of the treaty – but they are unlikely to change significantly.
So far as treaty coverage is concerned, Australia has notified 43 of its 44 comprehensive treaties. Of those 43 treaties, nine treaty partners did not sign the MLI (Kiribati, Malaysia, PNG, Philippines, Sri Lanka, Taipei, Thailand, US and Vietnam) and so their treaties with Australia will be unaffected by it. It was widely anticipated that the US would not sign, and the US has already indicated that its treaties contain extensive protections against BEPS such as the limitation on benefits provision, the saving clause and the fiscally transparent entity rule, so that signature of the MLI was unnecessary. That may not be the only reason for the US reluctance.
The only comprehensive treaty not nominated by Australia for the MLI is the 2015 Germany treaty which is thoroughly BEPSed anyway. It is understood that German constitutional rules about certainty of law require German language versions of all treaties as revised by BEPS to be produced as part of the German ratification process, and this may have led Germany (and some other European countries in similar positions) to reduce coverage, but there may be other reasons. For example, although Australia has nominated its treaty with Austria for coverage, Austria did not nominate Australia so that the Australia-Austria treaty will not be amended by the MLI. Other countries which signed the MLI but did not nominate their Australian treaties are Korea, Sweden and Switzerland. Korea and Sweden each nominated over 60 of their treaties while Switzerland only nominated 14 of its treaties for MLI coverage.
Which leaves 30 effectively covered Australian treaties as announced by the Minister for Revenue after the signing of the MLI. To find out how the treaties are affected it is then necessary to work through Australia's reservations and notifications, together with similar information for the 29 of the other 30 countries which have lodged their information (Norway being the sole exception). These documents are available on the OECD website.
Generally it is only where there is a matching position between the two countries that the treaty will be affected by the MLI. The OECD is working through the development of a spreadsheet/program to simplify this process but as reservations etc will not be finalised until ratification, reliance on the current lists can only be indicative.
To understand the complexity of the problem, Australia has lodged 12 reservations and 19 notifications while the UK has lodged 7 and 17 respectively. The documents lodged by Australia's treaty partners for the potentially affected treaties range from 20 to 70 pages (Australia's being 35 pages long). The notifications in particular often contain long lists of provisions affected which need to be matched.
On a sample of two important provisions of the MLI, Article 12 on agency permanent establishments and Article 18 on electing into arbitration, none of Australia treaties will be changed by Article 12 as Australia has reserved entirely on the article, while 14 of the 29 treaties will potentially introduce arbitration into the treaty – "potentially" because there are further reservations and notifications on arbitration which may lead to the match under Article 18 not being fully effective. The countries involved are Belgium, Canada, Fiji, Finland, France, Ireland, Italy, Japan, Malta, Netherlands, New Zealand, Singapore, Spain and UK. Arbitration is only possible for New Zealand among these countries under existing treaties.
It is surprising in particular that Australia and 14 of its treaty partners to potentially affected treaties elected not to apply the agency PE changes, given the attention the issue received in the BEPS process, including the enactment of the MAAL in Australia. Perhaps that is why Australia has made its reservation – with the one sided MAAL in operation (for inbound avoided PEs only) we can have our cake and eat it too by not expanding outbound PEs under the MLI.
It is understood that Treasury wants to have the MLI before the Parliamentary Joint Standing Committee on Treaties in the second half of this year and a bill to give effect to the MLI introduced in the first half of next year. Treasury has previously indicated 2019 as the likely start date for the MLI in Australia.
For now clients will need to have regard to potential treaty changes under the MLI when putting cross border transactions and structures in place, and then to recheck when the MLI rubber hits the road sometime down the track.

* Training and education
Even though there isn't any bachelor level program specific to psychiatry, people must nevertheless pursue a pre-medical training programme if they wish to become professionals in this field, being obliged to first take courses in chemistry, physics and biology.
There are also colleges focused on offering individuals pre-medical courses as a way to familiarize them to med school stipulations. Right after finishing this, the students will individually decide on the major. After that, they must take graduate-level education, meaning four years of school of medicine after which an additional four of residency training. Students have to be careful nevertheless to choose a medical school that is certified by the Liaison Committee of Medical Education, because these are the only types accepted.
On the other hand, should they wish to concentrate on specific sectors of psychiatry, including addiction, child or geriatric psychiatry, students must follow fellowship training after their post degree residency is complete. These usually last yet another 24 months and aid students achieve expertise in the areas they've selected.
* Wages and salary
$167,600 annually is the average psychiatrist salary. But this may vary, based on the spot where a psychiatrist performs. Typically, they demand maximum $100 per hour. On the other hand, the minimum paid impose roughly $70, however this simply occurs in the countryside parts.

Many years ago, in another life, I used to work with my father in a delicatessen. That was the family business. I remember begging my father to let me work in the deli and he would always say next year, or the year after. Finally when I hit 14 years old, he said OK. I started out as a stock boy filling shelves, packing and unpacking boxes. It was very tedious and not much to learn.

Acupoint catgut-embedding (ACE) therapy is a type of acupuncture surgery that combines concepts of traditional Chinese medicine with modern medical instruments. The therapy involves using a hypodermic needle and an acupuncture needle to embed 1-cm long catgut segments in an acupoint, enabling the catgut to perform long-term stimulation of the acupoint and achieve the effects of acupuncture treatment. Each therapy process requires numerous repetitions of the same steps, and each needle set can only be used to embed one catgut segment. Additionally, doctors must perform this surgical procedure by hand; no automatic auxiliary instrument has been developed to date. To address these problems, this paper proposes an innovative design of the first automatic ACE auxiliary instrument in the world. The instrument could assist doctors to complete the ACE steps. And it neither requires a battery or external electric power nor changes needles during therapy. The study first involved designing the mechanism and embodiment for the instrument, enabling it to perform one catgut-embedding procedure in only two steps with the repeated use of one needle set. We then created the prototype and tested its functionality in terms of the success rate of catgut cutting, average length of catgut segments, the success rate of needle insertion and acupoint range, and the success rates of catgut insertion and catgut embedding. The results showed that the prototype did conform to our design goals, but the success rates of catgut cutting and catgut insertion could be further enhanced.
