- The Pikes Peak Ringers help merry up Christmas with the Colorado Springs Philharmonic on Saturday and Sunday at the Pikes Peak Center.
For many of us, the winter holiday season is the one time of year when music steps out from the background. Regardless of faith or upbringing, it's close to impossible to avoid the music of Christmas. Fortunately, for every rousing rendition of "Rudolph The Red-Nosed Reindeer" and "Jingle Bell Rock," there's a classical favorite, and in an age when the coarsening of culture has all but eradicated the classical tradition, it's refreshing to find a time when you're just as likely to hear Handel as you are to hear Perry Como. For music lovers, this is a very good thing, and it's a much-need annual boost to get people excited about music again.
With two weeks still remaining till the big day, the holiday concert season is already more than halfway over. But instead of petering out, it's picking up steam. Among a smorgasbord of local music events, our very own professional symphony orchestra is taking a stab at the ubiquitous holiday concert with a concert suitably titled A Classical Christmas. The Philharmonic already pulled out all the stops for their gorgeous accompaniment to The Nutcracker ballet a few weeks ago, but this time the orchestra takes center stage with this installment of holiday cheer. They even invited a few guests, including the Palmer High School Chamber Singers, the Pikes Peak Bell Ringers, and a performance of the "Twelve Days of Christmas" by local celebrities.
The dizzying program traverses 400 years of classical and popular Christmas musical traditions. The Philharmonic will perform music of Georges Bizet and Ralph Vaughan Williams, along with myriad Christmas songs and carols. The orchestra will reprise the popular "Waltz of the Flowers" from The Nutcracker Suite, and concertmaster Michael Hanson will be featured in the bow-shredding "Winter" from Antonio Vivaldi's The Four Seasons.
Some young singers from the Palmer High School Chamber Singers and Wasson High School Eclipse will join the orchestra in Johann Sebastian Bach's "Magnificat" in D Major. Bach's genius can be traced to the fact that his counterpoint is just as effective in a piece for solo instrument as it is with an ensemble piece, but the richness of Bach's musical textures is poignantly apparent in his large-scale works. This is holy music, indeed, and when followed so closely by the bell ringers, it just might be the golden moment for an army of angels to get their wings.
But what about those celebrity guests? It just wouldn't be Christmas without a message of peace and good will, and that applies to politicians too. A few good sports will take to the stage after the mean-spirited frenzy of the recent political season to join in bipartisan harmony. The soloists include Mayor Lionel Rivera, Vice Mayor Richard Skorman, Rep. Mike Merrifield and state Sen. Andy McElhany. Some other local celebs will join the perfect harmony, including Susan Edmondson of the Bee Vradenburg Foundation, Jeanna Wearing of KCME, Mark Arnest of the Gazette, and two of the Philharmonic's own -- Susan Greene, executive director, and Brian Clifford, graphic designer and blues guitarist extraordinaire. Rumor has it the guitar will make an appearance too.

5 Easy Exercises to Improve Your Bust Appearance
To strengthen your pectoral muscles and enhance bust appearance, you must be consistent with these localized exercises, as well as accompany them with a balanced diet
The bust is one of the most prominent physical attributes of a woman's body. Along with the buttocks and the abdomen, this area is one that many women want to tone and prevent premature sagging.
There are plenty of cosmetic procedures and commercial products that promise to keep your bust appearance firm and shapely. These options are usually very expensive, however, and not everyone can afford to try them.
What many women don't know is that there are healthier, 100% natural options to enhance your bust appearance that can have incredible effects if you do them on a regular basis.
Among them are several localized exercises that target certain muscle groups to firm and even increase the size of the bust area.
Today we want to share the top five that you shouldn't hesitate to practice in the comfort of your home. Let's get started!
1. Push-ups to improve bust appearance
The ever popular push-ups are a beneficial exercise to strengthen the pectoral muscles, which are located beneath your breast tissue. This can increase the volume of your bust.
Push-ups are also great for toning your arms and targeting any sagging skin.
This is an exercise that requires a lot of physical stamina, so it may be difficult to perform them at first.
How do you do it?
- Lie on the floor supported by your feet and with your palms just below your shoulders.
- Stretch your arms straight out so that they're parallel.
- Be sure to keep your back straight and slowly bend your elbows without moving your hands from the starting position.
- Try to get as low to the floor as possible without touching your chest to the floor.
- Return to the starting position and perform 10 repetitions in three sets.

2. Foot raises
When you do this exercise you'll notice that the muscles in your chest and arms tighten and relax.
By including it in your routine you'll gradually strengthen your chest and enhance your bust appearance.
How do you do it?
- Lie on the floor with your hands on your hips and elbows bent outward.
- Elevate your feet and stretch your arms using the muscles of your chest.
- Return to the starting position, rest for 10 seconds, and repeat 15 to 20 times.
- Be careful when lifting your chest, and don't overexert yourself.
3. Palms pressed together
This simple exercise works and tones your pectoral muscles. The key to success is by applying slight pressure and holding it for a few seconds.
You'll know you're doing it right when your chest tightens and relaxes with each motion.
How do you do it?
- With your hands open, press your palms together in front of your chest.
- Exert a good amount of pressure on each hand using your arms.
- Hold this tense pressure for 15 seconds, rest, and repeat.
4. Basic weight lifts
Exercises using dumbbells or barbells are excellent ways to recover the firmness of your arms or bust.
While there are plenty of different options, we suggest you start with the basics.
How do you do it?
- Stand up with your legs slightly apart and your arms at your sides.
- Hold a dumbbell in each hand and keep your back straight with chest lifted.
- Raise your arms in front of you to shoulder height, then lower them to your hips.
- Repeat this movement slowly for 30 repetitions.
We recommend you read: Natural tips for a firm bust
5. Forward raises
After the previous exercise you can do a variety of other weight lifting exercises that will also improve your bust.
How do you do it?
- Spread your feet apart at shoulder width and hold your arms out forward with the dumbbells.
- Stretch each arm separately to shoulder height.
- Lower it slowly and then repeat with the other arm.
- Remember to keep your abdomen and legs firm to get the best results.
- Perform 20 repetitions with each arm.
Remember that you won't see the results of this simple routine immediately, or even within a few days.
You'll notice a firmer bust appearance if you practice every day for several months and combine the routine with good nutrition.

Sharapova sails into Tianjin semi-finals
Maria Sharapova moved a step closer to claiming her first title since returning from a doping ban by outclassing Stefanie Voegele to reach the semi-finals of the Tianjin Open.
The five-time grand slam champion needed only an hour and four minutes to wrap up a 6-3 6-1 victory on Friday.
Sharapova will play defending champion Peng Shuai in her first semi-final since reaching the last four in Stuttgart on her comeback from a 15-month suspension six months ago.
The unseeded Russian has not dropped a set this week and recovered from an uncertain start to see off Voegele, who took advantage of three unforced errors and a double fault to break in the first game of the match but that was as good as it got for the qualifier.
Sharapova lost just one point on serve in the first set after failing to hold in the opening game, breaking to level at 1-1 and again to lead 5-3 before serving out the set.
The former world number one bossed the second set, surging into a 4-0 lead as she wasted no time in dispatching Voegele.
Peng stayed in the hunt to retain her title on home soil with a brutal 6-0 6-1 demolition of Sara Sorribes Tormo.
The third seed took just an hour to move into the last four, losing only nine points on serve in a quarter-final which was something of a non-contest.
Aryna Sabalenka and Sara Errani will meet in the other semi-final following victories over Zhu Lin and Christina McHale respectively.

Midland's maverick physicist, inventor, aviator, has powerful spiritual sway
While it is clear the robustly stalwart Fred Newman is Midland's full-bore maverick physicist, inventor and aviator with a pronounced spiritual sway, Newman and his wife, Chris, are a genuinely generous Midland couple of all-around "good cheer."
At age 68, Newman has recovered from his teenager "knucklehead" years when Chris Holly was persuaded to marry him in 1962 in their native Louisiana.
"Everything we do is fun," Chris cheerfully avowed. "Fred is a character."
Boredom is foreign to their nature.
"Chris is afraid that I will buzz the house in my airplane (which he did in Canada in the early 1970s to let her know he was heading home) or blow up the garage and house with explosives (not yet)," Newman said in his nonchalant humor. "Better not," Chris advised.
In recent years, Newman, who welcomes adventure, was approached by two stealthy pilots, agents of the former Blackwater USA, America's civilian mercenary arm, about buying his twin-boom, twin-engine push-pull turbo-charged Cessna 337 Super Skymaster loaded with avionics. Initially, he suspected they were drug-runners.
"We will give you top-dollar for airplane," the agents tempted him.
"Not for sale. No deal," Newman replied.
"We will double the top-dollar offer."
And away the Skymaster flew into the wild to serve in the Iraq war as a flying platform to guide remotely piloted vehicles (RPVs) to enemy targets.
One of the incognito pilots, Tim, offered Newman a lucrative job flying the Skymaster "over there." He bypassed the 28-days-on, 28-days-off offer.
Newman misses the 1979 Skymaster, his favorite, while the wife said, well, yes, but only "all the way to the bank."
In 1974 by way of Saskatchewan, Canada, and then Utah where Newman was a manager at both locations for Schlumberger, the worldwide oil-well service company, the Newman family, including four youngsters -- Jim, Holly, Nancy and Steve -- a crowd of potted plants and two dogs, settled in Midland by way of a fully-packed station wagon.
"They were all teenagers at the same time," Chris said of the children. "It was fun."
For the Newman family, Midland's lure was not just economic rewards via oilfield enterprise, including Newman's 43 patents mostly related to oil-field safety on rigs, overall efficiency and oil-and-gas rig development.
Spirituality in action, never for show, is a Newman priority: Helping others in serving the Lord.
His inventions include the oilfield's counterpart of aviation's computerized black box that "records exactly what that rig is doing at all times" from spudding to plugging.
"You use your gifts, God's gifts, to the maximum of your ability," Newman said recently after the Midland's National Exchange Club had entered his name in the service organization's "Book of Golden Deeds."
Newman's wide-ranging community volunteerism, coupled with his wife's involvement, includes that of Scoutmaster, public-school trustee, church and cultural philanthropic commitments and sharing his sonorous bass voice with the Episcopal Church of the Holy Trinity choir.
The Newman couple's leadership was seminal in establishing the Hope House for free room and board for Allison Cancer Center patients and in setting up a greenhouse tomato garden and an oilfield-related paper-shredding enterprise operated by intellectually and/or developmentally disabled children and adults at MARC.
Newman recalled his "burning-bush moment" of sunrise clarity after Hope House opened. A grateful out-of-town cancer patient, who couldn't afford a hotel room or find solace in its loneliness, was a grateful Hope House guest.
"May I hug you?" the "little-bitty frail woman" asked.
Her hug caused Newman's spirits to soar and his humility to be steadfast.
"You give," Newman reflected. "But you receive so much more."
Newman recalled a vocational MARC client, Mike, who was hired by Triple N, then a Newman-family well-plugging operation managed by Holly Newman.
By association, Mike was delighted to be in the "oil business."
"He developed self-esteem, self-worth, purpose in life," Newman recalled. "It was a great and wonderful thing."
Newman, an admitted "reformed knucklehead," in Louisiana played high-school football, played the tuba in band and sang bass in the chorale and all the while chased pretty and petit Chris Holly whose parents were the band director and choral director. In Newman's words, they took him for "an orangutan, a big-time knucklehead," who finally "settled down" to become her parents' "best friend."
At 6-foot-1 and 230 pounds, Newman won a football scholarship to study physics at Louisiana's Northwestern State University.
"He is the only one who had to study all the time," Chris said of the other football players. "Fred majored in physics. The rest of them played football, partied and majored in physical education."
In his candor, Newman admitted he is a "Thank-The-Lordy" 1965 college graduate who "just barely got through. Some people do well in a structured environment," he observed. "I don't."
Licensed to fly in 1970, Newman is a 4,000-hour instrument-rated land and seaplane pilot who today is restoring a modified 1943 Stinson L-5 Sentinel "Flying Jeep" of World War II repute, flies a conventional L-5 and a Cessna 206 along with his engineer son, Jim.
Flying is his Walden's Pond, his sanctuary, his peaceful moments above Earth's worldly woes.
Meanwhile, Newman, who treasures his yearly New Orleans-way Mississippi River Jesuit retreat where silence is enlightening, finds insight into problem-solving while at peace.
"It is amazing," Newman said. "The solution will come to you in the middle of night. Is it divine intervention or just a relaxed mind? I don't know. I don't question it."

SUMMIT, NJ—Summit school officials on Thursday detailed their proposed $64,663,547 2014-1015 education budget for the city's board of school estimate.
As a Type I school district, with school board members appointed by the mayor, the Hilltop City district presents its budget plans to the board of school estimate, which decides the fate of the spending plan. This year's school estimate board, chaired by Mayor Ellen Dickson, includes board of education president Gloria Ron-Fornes, school operations committee chairman David Dietze, common council finance chairman Michael McTernan and council public safety chairman Patrick Hurley.
Outlining specifics of the budget were superintendent of schools Nathan Parker and assistant superintendent of schools for business Louis Pepe.
Pepe estimated the tax bite of the proposed budget on the average Summit home, assessed at $410,000, at $81.40 per year or $6.78 per month.
Although the largest expenditure in the budget, $23,583,280, also showed the largest increase, $867,612, school officials were reluctant to discuss specifics of teacher salary increases because they did not want to show their hand too early in ongoing negotiations with teacher and supervisor unions.
Parker did indicate, however, that he could obtain some salary figures from building principals and would reveal them at a later date, possibly before the board of school estimate votes on the proposed budget on Tuesday, March 25.
Dickson did ask that school officials, in their bargaining deliberations, keep in mind that the city will be losing the Merck corporate headquarters shortly, and, although the pharmaceutical giant will not appeal its tax assessment for 2014, an appeal could come in 2015.
Pepe pointed out, however, that operation of plant and maintenance services would decrease by $218,356 and tuition paid by the district to send Summit students to other districts (chiefly for special education classes) would decrease by $209,710 in the proposed budget.
He noted that, through a number of fiscal management tools, such as the district's membership in a number of buying consortiums, Ed-Data, for the purchase of data services, Erate for the purchase of certain telecommunications services under a federal program, and the Alliance for Competitive Energy Savings (ACES) the Summit district has been able to save $6.8 million over the last five years.
One of the savings programs which drew strong support from the council members on the school estimate panel was shared services program between the school district and the city of Summit.
Pepe noted that the city's public works garage repairs board of education vehicles and the district makes use of the services of the city engineer and public works employees in paving some school parking lots, while school board custodians maintain city facilities at Tatlock and Wilson Fields and the field adjacent to Brayton School and that Douglas Orr, the school district's technology director, recently helped the Summit Fire Department set up computerized training systems.
Although supportive of the shared services arrangements, Hurley said he would like to see definite line items established in both the city and school district budgets indicating specific year-to-year savings from the programs.
Pepe and Parker also responded to questions from Hurley that they would seek increased sharing of technology between the two entities, but they said the differences in systems between the schools and the city presented some challenges.
The school business administrator also indicated that the district began saving money on employee health care by instituting employee contributions one year before the state mandated the contributions. He also said the employee assistance program and employee wellness programs made the district's claims experience more favorable and thus more cost efficient.
Parker noted that an unexpected benefit to the district from the Affordable Care Act has been that Summit teachers who reach age 26 opt out of the district's health plans because they can remain on their parents' plans longer.
The school district's pilot tuition-funded full-day kindergarten program drew a mixed reaction from the mayor and council members of the board of school estimate and support from one parent who spoke.
McTernan wanted to know the tax impact of the new program.
Pepe replied that the cost has been about $100,000 and the district has been able to save on instructional costs because teaching staff members formerly in the existing half-day program will be moving over to the fullday program.
Responding to a question from Dickson, Pepe said the district expects to institute a credit card system for payment of tuition just as it has successfully done with the middle school lunch program, and tuition payments will be carefully tracked so that parents who fall behind in tuition payments will be promptly notified that their children may be barred from future classes if their obligations are not met.
McTernan said that, based on his calculation using the board of education's total cost, the cost of fullday kindergarten is about $7400 per pupil. "But that is a marginal cost," he added. The council finance chairman said, and Hurley agreed, that the public deserved to know the true cost figures for the program, including not just marginal costs like new teachers, but also allocated fixed costs, especially since this is a pilot program that is being evaluated year to year.
Pepe promised an accounting of those costs prior to the March 25 vote.
Dickson, as she has in the past, said she felt the public schools should "embrace" the programs run by synagogues, churches and charitable organizations in the city rather than trying to compete with them.
The district's assistant superintendent for curriculum and instruction.Julie Glazer, replied that the public schools work closely with the other organizations, but the focus of other programs often is different educationally from programs the public schools can offer.
She did point out, for example, that the public school district works closely with a synagogue program and that program, in fact, asked to use a report card system similar to that currently used in the city district.
A parent who spoke said the district should be leary of offering only a pilot program for fullday kindergarten.
She said that 80 percent of the districts in the state already offer full-day programs and the Core Curriculum program, which is becoming standard in New Jersey, will require learning skills now taught in the first grade to reach down to the kindergarten level.
She also said Connections next year will be reducing programs it sponsors at Jefferson and Wilson Schools in Summit. She wanted to know where students not able to attend those programs would go.
Dickson replied that more affluent communities in the Summit area are not offering full-day programs that must be funded with public money because those dollars must come chiefly from local taxpayers. In some less affluent areas, she added, the state is paying the cost.
The parent replied, however, that most of the districts in the "J" factor group into which Summit now falls offer full-day programs.
On the topic of school security, Dickson asked what the Summit district was doing to increase school security, expecially in light of statements at a recent conference that there were security weaknesses at some of the school entrances.
Pepe noted some of the $1.8 million being taken out of the district's capital reserve this year would be used to address those issues and replace obsolete security equipment.
He added that some of the $17.5 million in capital funding approved last year by the school estimate board would be used to increase security in Washington, Franklin, Jefferson and Lincoln-Hubbard Schools.
Hurley, whose occupation deals with corporate security, said the district needs to hire a consultant with a background in security, not just an architect, to address the issues.
He added that the Sandy Hook Elementary School, the site of a mass shooting last year, had protected vestibules, like the Summit district is proposing, but more protection is needed to stop access from windows adjacent to vestibule areas.
Pepe said after the major construction projects are completed the district would more fully assess what other security improvements are needed.

Guarding the Votes
ONE DOES NOT HAVE TO look far in the news to witness the intense emotions released by academic elections relating to board of trustee matters--such as at Dartmouth. Just imagine throwing in uncertainty and doubt regarding confidentiality, fairness, and security concerns. A higher ed institution could wind up having far-reaching ramifications of "nuclear winter" scale to deal with. Many IHEs are woefully behind the times in the voting arena, particularly as it relates to security. The stakes here are high: hundreds of millions of dollars, not to mention the power and influence that is up for grabs.
Obviously, confidentiality and security are paramount in every election, public or private. When conducting a college or university voting project, it is crucial to authenticate voters' identification. Equally important is ensuring the voter's identity and actual vote selection are separated in a manner that prevents him or her from being "rejoined."
Neither the election host nor a third party must be able to determine how a voter votes. Without adequate security measures, such as firewalls, an election's integrity can be compromised by a hacker who alters votes. It's also imperative that one qualified voter equals one vote. No pets or dead people or other abuses can be tolerated in this process.
IHEs, whose overriding mission is to teach, are, with few exceptions, in the dark ages with their own boards' nomination, election, and voting processes. Institutions that should be a model for democratic principles, in fact, often have no voting process at all, let alone voter security and safeguards.
Indeed, in a recent independent survey of 150 larger and more prestigious U.S. academic institutions, less than 15 percent had voter security safeguards in place. The majority did not have formal democratic nominations, contested elections, or term limits in place for their boards. Many boards simply nominate trustees, make rules, and vote on these matters among themselves. Frankly, this situation is more indicative of a rubber stamp dictatorship or the Politburo than what one would expect to find in academia!
I understand the challenges institutions face: a shortage of qualified, motivated talent to serve as trustees, limited financial resources and staffing, and IT-related issues. But a healthy, vibrant academic environment with active alumni participation must have open nomination processes, elections, term limits, and sophisticated voter security in place.
A wide range of elections taking place within academia would benefit from the voter confidentiality and ballot security measures now common in other public and private sectors. Whether the process is online or by paper in a vote-by-mail election, individuals managing the trustee election process must have several administrative procedures in place to protect the integrity of the election process. Three steps in the right direction:
--Give each eligible voter a unique identifier. This helps ensure that only eligible voters can participate and helps administrators to verify that all eligible voters were contacted about the voting process and provided information about the candidates.
--Set up a system to track receipt of completed ballots. The system should not allow individuals tabulating the election results to associate a completed ballot with an identifiable individual, however.
--Make sure the election process has a verifiable trail. Whether in paper or electronic form, it enables election officials to complete a recount of completed ballots in the event an election is challenged.
Many IHEs have their own internal processes and technologies for conducting elections. Some systems meet the criteria described above; most do not. In either case, election process legitimacy can be significantly enhanced if a qualified third-party election services provider, consultant, or nonprofit organization is part of the process. This helps protect the integrity of the process and reduce the likelihood that election results will be challenged after a vote count.
Perhaps it is high time for IHEs to lead the charge on democratic process and voter security as our world evolves from paper to online balloting. For important elections, it is imperative to handle all security aspects both efficiently and effectively.
Gregg McGilvray is CIO at Election Services Corporation, www.electionservicescorp.com, which provides a suite of election management solutions related to database management, polling site and remote electronic voting, advanced security, accurate tabulation, and demographic reporting.

I've always enjoyed finding reasons to celebrate with our family, whether it's a full-fledged party or a happy breakfast, lunch, or dinner celebration. And speaking of meal celebrations, by simply decorating the table, your meal becomes a celebration!
For a fun back-to-school theme, gather vintage children's books and place at each table setting as decorative chargers:
Top "chargers" with plates, napkins, apples, and little American flags:
Apples make great table decorations as well:
Garden and yard herbs are such a great source for simple floral arrangements. The chives are flowering right now in my patio herb garden and make the cutest tiny arrangements:
Whimsical old toys and children's items are so joyful to me. This vintage spinning child's cap adds a sweet touch to the table. A cute old toy truck would also be great:
Extra-wide rolled wrapping paper cut to the size of the table makes for a great small table covering. For larger tables, use wrapping paper as a runner:
With the exception of the earliest school years, our boys weren't ever too excited about September and heading back to school. I found that by celebrating this time in various simple ways, it made it a positive time in their lives. Happy September to all!

Between posts on my website, and all year long, I'm preparing for The Farm Chicks Vintage & Handmade Fair. You can read alI about it here. I also document my life on Instagram. You can follow along with me there.

I, myself, have arnold chiari and underwent decompression surgery in 2007. Never in a million years would I have thought that my children would have this terrible disorder. I have not had my two daughters MRI done yet to see if that have the chiari. I am so worried about the upcoming surgery. I wonder each day if I am making the right decision to proceed with surgery. There are just so many worries and concerns and emotions. Just wondering if any one had any tips on how to deal with everything or what to expect. Thank you in advance.

text: For years now i have used only POP 3 with outlook, but now that got a notebook i would like to be able to retrieve my mail from the notebook when i am on the road. I have about 200 email accounts, and in Outlook it was fine because all incoming mail went to a single inbox and same with send mail. However now that i start to set up IMAP accounts in Outlook i notice each account have its own inbox, sent, trash and junk. This sucks and will take me forever to check my email. Is there a way to just have 1 Inbox \ Trash \ Junk and Sent folder when using Outlook with IMAP I was thinking to do one of 2 things: Option 1: Keep on using POP3 but select the option to leave the message on the server and remove when deleted. Question with this option: If i have allready opened a email say on the notebook and marked it as read, will it then still show the email when i go to my desktop. Option 2: Use the IMAP but in outlook create a rule to deliver new email to the default 1 INBOX and trash to deleted, sent to sent etc.. Question with this option: If i move the email by using rule from the imap account inbox to the default Outlook Inbox, will a copy still remain on the server so it could be accessed by another machine -- untill such time it is deleted. Or will IMAP consider that if no longer in the imap account inbox then it is deleted. Hope there are any Outlook \ IMAP guru's that could help with this question

Intangible assets: company reorganisations: advance clearances: common reasons for refusal
Clearance under S831 will only be granted where HMRC is satisfied that both:
- the relevant transactions will be effected for genuine commercial reasons; and
- they do not form part of a scheme or arrangement of which the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, is the avoidance of liability to corporation tax, income tax or capital gains tax.
A common reason for clearance not being granted is that the reorganisation is proposed with a view to the sale or future sale of all or part of the business's intangible assets. In circumstances where the reorganisation is part of a wider scheme, for example a future sale, we will not be able to consider the clearance until all the transactional steps are known.
Reorganisations with a view to a sale of intangible assets
The purpose of S818 is to allow a business to be reorganised and to transfer intangible assets on tax neutral terms where the reorganisation does not bring about a real change in the overall ownership. This provides a similar advantage to S775 for transfers between two companies who are part of the same group.
Tax-neutral transfers can, however, create tax avoidance opportunities. A common tax avoidance arrangement is often referred to as 'enveloping' or 'the envelope trick'. This involves an asset being transferred between two companies on a tax neutral basis. The shares in the asset holding company are then sold. In this scenario the intangible asset has been sold within the 'envelope' company and so escapes from any taxable credit (or debit) under Chapter 4.
For tax neutral transfer made under S775, such arrangements are countered by the degrouping charge at S780.
A tax neutral reorganisation using S818 has the same potential as S775 to be used for 'enveloping' and avoiding a tax charge on the realisation of a business's intangible assets. This is the situation if a S818 reorganisation is being undertaken principally to effect the disposal of part of a business, and its intangible assets, through the sale of one of the demerged companies to a third party. Where HMRC have concerns that this is the case then clearance under S831 will be refused.

The standard Heart Failure Zone status worksheets as an interactive app.
This application provides interactive check lists of each of the three categories Green(Good/The Goal), Yellow(Caution), and Red(Danger), and displays your status on the main screen.

The Curious ABCs is truly a modern teaching tool, and one that is as timeless as it is beautiful.
New York, NY (PRWEB) October 03, 2013
The Curious ABCs is an illustrated alphabet designed to make the the experience of learning to read a more engaging and interesting one for kids. At the same time, each letter is a beautiful and completely unique piece of artwork.
Kevin Lindberg, designer and illustrator of The Curious ABCs, launched a Kickstarter campaign to self-publish a hardcover book of the complete alphabet and create a digital flash card app for the iPad. The campaign ends on October 10th and is 1/3 of the way to it's fundraising goal.
Each letter of the alphabet is a collection of highly detailed illustrations of items that start with that letter. The items are layered and arranged in a way that creates a complex composition in the form of the letter. As you explore the letters, clever details reveal themselves, like a hammock creating the cross bar for the letter H, or a family of marching elephants that create the foot of the letter E.
The Curious ABCs is a modern learning tool. We live in a visually dynamic world, and are presented with more imagery and information at once than ever before. The Curious ABCs is a reflection of this. Packaged in a classical illustration style, it helps prepare children to be able to make multiple associations within a single concept.
People everywhere, from New York to Australia, have backed The Curious ABCs and the response has been overwhelming. "The project has resonated with a large cross-section of people. We've had much enthusiasm from schoolteachers excited about the classroom possibilities, and we've had responses from fans young and old who just love the illustrations," says Lindberg.
In keeping with the initial concept, the rewards for backing The Curious ABCs on Kickstarter range from the app and book to a series of art pieces: $10 for the iPad app, $30 for the hardcover book, $40 for a printed and framed letter of your choice and $40 for a large, 20"x30" printed posted of the complete alphabet.
The Curious ABCs is truly a modern teaching tool, and one that is as timeless as it is beautiful. Help make this product a reality by pledging via Kickstarter by October 9th!

Augusta, Ga.
Bill Haas took the lead at The Masters on Thursday, but the course was the winner.
Augusta National demonstrated that fast greens and tough pin placements can defend par without high rough and bad weather.
It was a beautiful day in Augusta, although winds seemed to pick up and affect players in the afternoon. Yet there were only four players in the 60s, and eight in the 80s.
It's funny how this stuff works. Adam Scott, who shot at 69, hit one bad shot on Thursday. His tee shot on the Par-3 12th went into Rae's Creek. He said the lack of wind allowed him to lose focus, and he made a lousy swing.
Gotta be honest, I didn't miss Tiger Woods' golf game, but I did miss his presence today. He creates excitement. A Tiger birdie creates a bigger roar than anyone else's. I spent most of my time following Scott, Rory McIlroy and Patrick Reed, and all three are wonderful players, but Tiger does draw the eye.
Wrote about Scott and leader Bill Haas for the paper. I'll be on WJON in St. Cloud at 7:15 a.m., and on 1500ESPN at 12:15 tomorrow from Augusta. I'll also do my Sunday show on 1500ESPN from 10-noon.

Engineering Next-Generation T Cells for Cancer Immunotherapy
The adoptive transfer of T cells expressing chimeric antigen receptors (CARs) has demonstrated clinical efficacy in the treatment of advanced cancers, with anti-CD19 CAR-T cells achieving up to 90% complete remission among patients with relapsed B-cell malignancies. However, challenges such as antigen escape and immunosuppression limit the long-term efficacy of adoptive T-cell therapy. Here, I will discuss the development of next-generation T cells that can target multiple cancer antigens and resist immunosuppression, thereby increasing the robustness of therapeutic T cells against tumor defense mechanisms. This presentation will highlight the the potential of synthetic biology in generating novel mammalian cell system with multifunctional outputs for therapeutic applications.

Virtual Developer Workshop: Containerized Development with Docker
Environment: Embedded VC++ 3.0
Many doubts exist regarding how to perform a wireless communication procedure between a wireless handheld client and a server (possibly a desktop) within a network. This article serves to remove any difficulties present in understanding the concept. Also, it aims to eliminate all sorts of confusion in establishing a communication procedure between two remote hosts.
A typical wireless scenario can be explained by the following figure. This is a typical scenario of the IBSS system.
Click here for a larger image.
For the handheld to become an active member in the wireless network, it should have an expansion pack with a wireless LAN card installed. Several companies such as 3COM, Lucent, and so forth, provide many LAN cards.
The first and foremost step would be install the corresponding driver in the handheld for your card to function perfectly. You need to read the documentation that comes with the card for the type of driver to install. That would not be difficult for anyone because it is well documented.
Once the driver is installed, your handheld is now ready to operate on the Internet. The iPAQ can be assigned IP addresses using this wireless LAN card. Once the IP address is assigned, the iPAQ becomes visible in the network. Communication can take place between the handheld and the desktop in the same network.
The 802.11 AP serves as the Network Access point, which is connected to the Ethernet. It consists of the LAN access Server Driver. When a wireless device needs to have the services of a LOCAL LAN, it connects to that using the Access points.
In the case of this approach, the iPAQ connecting as a client first communicates with the Access point to query the IP address of the server and then establishes the socket communication with the server. The socket communication that is established is the TCP or the reliable data communication. The client and the server then can exchange data with the help of the established datagram socket.
For perfect TCP communication to take place, you need to have two types of sockets. One is referred to as the listening socket and other is the communicating socket. Of course, this can also be done in several other methods but the one I chose is to have two different sockets so that multiple clients can be accommodated easily.
A typical socket can be created on the client side as:
m_pSocket = new CChatSocket (CCeSocket::FOR_DATA); if (!m_pSocket->Create()) { delete m_pSocket; m_pSocket = NULL; AfxMessageBox(CString("Socket Creation Failed")); return FALSE; } if(!m_pSocket->Connect(lpszAddress, 707)) { AfxMessageBox(CString( "Socket failed to connect to the remote host")); delete m_pSocket; m_pSocket = NULL; return FALSE; }
On the server side, to accept this connection from the client, it has to be in listen mode. This can be implemented as follows:
#if defined(_WIN32_WCE) // Establish a socket to listen for incoming connections. m_pSocket = new CListeningSocket(this, CCeSocket::FOR_LISTENING ); #else // _WIN32_WCE m_pSocket = new CListeningSocket(this); #endif // _WIN32_WCE if (m_pSocket->Create( 707 )) { if (m_pSocket->Listen()) { return TRUE; } }
The connection from the client socket can be accepted as:
if (m_pSocket->Accept(*m_pClientSocket)) { m_pClientSocket->Receive(szHost,25,0); m_WndProgressCtrl.StepIt(); m_csHost=szHost; }
After the mutual handshake between the client and the server, the communication can take place reliably and efficiently.

New Generation Games Vs. Old Generation Games
Posted 20 May 2003 - 04:31 AM
Posted 20 May 2003 - 04:47 AM
How new games work these days:
1. Go and Retrieve someone/something important and they get captured or killed in your reach and you have to kill ultimate evil.
2. You're working for a business and you get betrayed by them.
3. Missions and crap
4. etc. etc. etc. BORING
(I still like the fighting games and RPGs cause they're very cool 4 me )
Now the Old Generation had games like sonic, megaman, and mario. Those were cool. They were new inventive ideas that appealed to many people. Most of my favorite games were on systems that are almost obselete or are obselete. Now, we get all the games that try to put special affects and abilities to make it seem cool and junk.
Old skool all tha way!
PS: How "new" are we talking here? PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube wise?

with video games, its usually the plot and gameplay that suffer. with movies, its the plot awell, but also the dialogue. music of today just has nothing to it at all.
like with most things, its not a question of, "can we do it?", as much as it should be a question of, "should we do it?".
Posted 20 May 2003 - 03:34 PM
Hated the pointless trekking around turned of in the end.
Its all changed we need some classic 2-d games again instead of.
The new action adventure in a rich full 3d enviorement.
Posted 20 May 2003 - 07:22 PM
There are the odd modern game that wows me with a combination of great gameplay and great graphics but it is rare.
But for me it's old games all the way. Which is why I love emulation
Posted 20 May 2003 - 07:35 PM
Posted 20 May 2003 - 11:39 PM
Atari 2600 had some games you couldn't beat, just got harder and harder..
These days, it's all about the quality of a game gaphic-wise, not plotwise or lengthwise.. what annoys me is when i hear critics say "The game is a little long, it'll take you 12 to 15 hours to discover everything".. what the heck he talking about?!? Any game where you can find everything the first time through, or can beat it on your first time sitting there is NOT a fun game.
How about those games that they say are "challenging" but you can get through the game only dying once or twice? *YAWN* I like games where every time you come across a boss you have a good chance of (and usually will) dying, a difficult spot in the game should not be "do this, and that, you're done" kinda thing.
This is what far too many games use these days.. I finally got myself a PSX and found a few good games on it.. but for the most part, the older systems still run the show.
Posted 21 May 2003 - 01:27 AM
As far as graphics being highlighted nowdays instead of gameplay I will agree with everyone on that. Gameplay should always be the focus of any development team, and then they should design the grapics around that solid concept/plot. In the old days, the grapic capabilitys of the machines just wasn't there so developers had to concentrate on gameplay. But, even then there were a lot of crap games Pac-Man and E.T. for the 2600 come instantly to mind. At least today you can rent before you buy. I spent a lot of hard earned allowance money on sh1t games when I was younger.

How "new" are we talking here? PS2, Xbox, and Gamecube wise?
Yes.. thats exactly what I mean.
I spent a lot of hard earned allowance money on sh1t games when I was younger.
Samething happened to me 80% of the time.
Some examples:
1. NBA All-Star Challenge [SNES] (WORST NBA GAME EVER)
2. Captain America And The Avengers [SNES] (COULDN'T GET PAST THE 1st LEVEL)
3. RoboCop [NES] (COULDN'T GET PAST THE 1st LEVEL)
And there is a ton more!!

MYRTLE BEACH, SC (WMBF) - Police have issued a warrant for the arrest of a farrier and former owner of a 14-year-old thoroughbred named Major.
Major was a race horse. He died on Dec. 30, 2013 from starvation, according to the vet who oversaw him.
The horse had a number of ailments when he was rescued by Trish Sylvester and her family this weekend. The animal had missing patches of skin and legions caused by rain rot. The family purchased the horse for $200 in hopes of nursing it back to health. It died at the Steadfast Farm.
The Sylvesters say they bought the animal from a local farrier who claims he was given the animal three months ago in the same condition from another owner. The vet filed a police report, and now Horry County Police have issued a warrant for the horse's former owner.
"It makes me feel sick to my stomach that somebody could intentionally choose not to feed an animal when they were sitting down every night eating themselves," says Trish Sylvester.
A fund has been set up to help other horse owners who are unable to provide for their animals. You can donate to the fund by contacting the Myrtle Beach Equine Clinic.

Sheriff's office spokeswoman Kim Myers says Ledet was found dead in the parking lot from a gunshot wound to the chest.
Myers said Ledet was involved in a verbal altercation inside the nightclub and the altercation moved to the parking lot when the suspect pulled a handgun and allegedly shot Ledet.

HAGERSTOWN — Facing a 13-point deficit early in the fourth quarter, St. Maria Goretti's boys basketball team clawed within six with four minutes left, but that's when the wheels fell off.
St. Frances drained 11 of 13 free throws down the stretch, staving off the Gaels' rally for a 56-42 Baltimore Catholic League victory Friday night.
Goretti coach Amrit Rayfield hadn't planned on starting to foul the Panthers quite so early, but St. Frances (15-6, 9-3) slowed things down and the Gaels (13-9, 4-7) were "overly aggressive" according to Rayfield in their attempts to force the issue.
After an 8-8 tie through one period, Goretti went four minutes without scoring midway through the second quarter and trailed 26-18 at the half. A pair of 3-pointers by Kevin Proctor kept things from getting even worse for the Gaels.
"Our defensive pressure was pretty good tonight," said Panthers coach Nick Miles. "We got good production from our bench. Our bench was big tonight."
Daquan Cook kept the Gaels at bay in the third period, scoring six of his game-high 18 points to offset the 3-point shooting of Tyrus Fleetwood and Gavin Rajahpillay.
But taking their shots from beyond the arc wasn't exactly what Rayfield wanted to see.
"We try to work the ball from inside out," said Rayfield. "I thought we started settling too much for jump shots."
The inside game served Goretti well in the first quarter, as leading scorer Yannick Zanfack scored six of his 11 points in the opening eight minutes. But the Gaels were unable to get the ball down low with any consistency after that.
"(The Panthers) understand he's our leading scorer," said Rayfield. "They did a lot of different things to force him out of his comfort zone."
Still, the forward was the only Goretti player to reach double figures.
The Panthers' defensive pressure forced Goretti into 17 turnovers, compared to just 10 for St. Frances.
"We just had too many turnovers at inopportune times," said Rayfield, "and they have the athletes to make you pay."
JV: St. Frances, 41-37 (SF: Michael Munir 8; SMG: Ameka Akata 17).
St. Frances Academy 56, St. Maria Goretti 42
Forney 4, T. Costley 4, Cook 18, Lee 6, Wells 4, Herd 6, Akins 2, A. Costley 5, Warren 7, Totals 21 12-15 56.
Proctor 9, Fleetwood 7, Rajahpillay 5, Geben 6, Zanfack 11, Blake 4, Totals 16 5-9 42.
St. Frances 8 18 13 17 — 56
Goretti 8 10 10 14 _ 42
3-point goals—St. Frances 2 (Lee 2). Goretti 5 (Proctor 3, Fleetwood, Rajahpillay). Fouled out—Goretti (Blake).

Linnworks offers a good platform to control certain processes and marketplaces without an exceptional amount of hassle.
Trouble is, the software is not extremely user-friendly, and sometimes the bulkiness is hard to deal with. Our company switched to an alternative company as a result.

Linnworks has some advanced functionality to make ecommerce much more automated and less time consuming such as scheduled imports and exports of CSV files. You can set up the software to automatically pull inventory data from a file every day, every week, etc. as well as exporting order data to a file on a set schedule. It integrates with many popular ecommerce marketplaces to allow companies to expand their reach.
Linn Systems seems to be switching their software from a program that was installed on the user's computer to a cloud-based system, and they haven't quite gotten all of the kinks worked out of the cloud-based version. There are some bugs that negate some of the software's great functionality, and the system just doesn't seem to be quite finished. Also, support is decent but not the best I've experienced.
Make sure to take advantage of the free trial and thoroughly test the software before you make a decision. Checking out all the alternatives is a great idea to make sure you get the features you need without paying extra for ones that you don't.

Linnworks offers excellent multi channel stock control and order processing. In over 2 years of use we have not oversold a product over our 17 selling channels. Their customer support is very good and their prices are a fixed monthly amount which is great for accounting.
e-commerce is not a 'One Size Fits All' type of business, but Linnworks is adaptable and customisable and fits in perfectly with the way that we want to do things
Some of the documentation does need updating, and a bit more input into their forums would be good.
Give it a try (for free) and ask questions on their facebook page and on their own forum. There are a lot of helpful Linnworks users out there that will give you there own experiences.

The best part about linnworks is the value compared to other e-tail software's out there.
I dont like the fact that if you need change things are taking longer and longer such as integration with channels or bugs within the software
My recommendations is to meet face to face before signing up and really underline what support you are getting and what is feasible to ask for and have a regular contact to follow up any tickets created

Overall experience is OK and the application proves to be very capable. But is lacking in the documentation area. I find that its much easier to reach out to support to get the necessary information.
Generally easy to use.
24 hour support.
A lot of value for the cost
Lacking in a few key areas and often find that you need to jump through hoops to accomplish a simple task.

Ok, staff are nice but software lacks Xero functionality that I need.
Really helped me get control of the warehouse
Hard to update product data in bulk. The training materials online are not well organised and lack structure meaning you are dependent on support which is not amazing

It did do what it said on the tin... But it wasn't the nicest UI to use and needed some attention to get your head around how it all worked. It seemed the best out of the bunch of stock management.. Still had it's problems..
Didn't always sync stock and the software crashed a fair bit. the UI was horrible to use at times.. It wasn't so bad once you worked out what does what... But for a new user it's pretty nasty!

Great tool for anyone looking to automate their e-commerce business.
I have used many solutions out there but was not satisfied with my experience. Their platform has been working great for me. They manage my orders, control/update my inventory, provide direct supplier integration feeds and work with my Amazon FBA account. They also connect with my shipping couriers which allows me to create/print my shipping labels. I no longer have to remember all my log ins for my Marketplaces/couriers, etc.
I have about 50,000 sku's in my inventory which was frustrating to get loaded in to the system but the tech support was able to make a little bit easier for me. This was the most difficult part for me because of my inventory size but overall I would have to give this solution 5 stars.

Popular dating app, Scruff, held it's own completely unscientific survey to see which Democratic candidate it's users support.
From NBC:
According to Scruff, the popular dating app for gay and bisexual men, nearly 60 percent of the 1,011 "likely voters" who responded to the survey are throwing their support behind Clinton, compared with 34 percent who support Sanders.
One sub-group Sanders did do particularly well with in the survey was younger gay and bisexual men. Seventy-six percent of 18-24 year olds surveyed said they support the Vermont senator.
Clinton, however, captured more of the "leather," "daddy" and "bear" support.

Find the Best Plan in Your Area
Find The Right Dentist For You
The technology used to straighten teeth has been growing increasingly more advanced, encouraging more people to investigate their orthodontic options, a report in USA Today suggests.
It describes how SureSmile braces cut down on the amount of time needed to straighten teeth, which may appeal to adults who do not want to commit to traditional orthodontics. Traditional braces are worn for around 24 months.
The braces work using Shape Memory Alloy wires, which are customized to fit a patient's mouth. Dentists and orthodontists use 3D imaging to create a plan for the treatment.
"You're literally moving the teeth around in a virtual world, placing them in the perfect position," orthodontist Bruce Goldstein told the publication. "It takes the guesswork out of it."
SureSmart CEO Charles Abraham claims that his product can reduce the time a patient spends in braces by 40 percent. He says that 30,000 people have undergone this treatment since 2004.
According to the American Association of Orthodontists, one in five people with braces is 18 or older and 63 percent are female.
Discount dental plans can help individuals save between 10 and 60 percent on most dental procedures.

After reaching the state championship game twice in a row, Edgewood's baseball team had great expectations for this year's postseason, too.
But the Rams (17-6) had to settle for making the state final four for three straight years. Hammond put an end to the Rams' title bid Tuesday with a 7-0 victory over Edgewood in a state Class 2A semifinal game at Joe Cannon Stadium in Anne Arundel County.
This loss was no easier for the Rams than their losses to Allegany in the last two state finals.
"The kids expected to be there (Saturday's state title game)," said Edgewood coach Steve Williams. "It's really difficult for the seniors. They know every time they go out there, it's the last time ever if they lose. I know they're disappointed."
