Middle linebacker Kirk Morrison's dislocated left elbow isn't serious enough to force him to miss the regular-season opener Sept. 14 against San Diego, and he might even be back in time for Oakland's exhibition finale Sept. 3 at Seattle.
That's the word coming from Raiders coach Tom Cable on Sunday after the follow-up evaluation confirmed the initial one made soon after Morrison sustained his injury Saturday against the 49ers.
Morrison no doubt was thrilled to hear the news that his injury wasn't worse. He also should be pleased to hear that this mini setback won't cost him a shot at keeping his starting spot.
"I would say Kirk was still ahead," Cable said of where Morrison stood against Ricky Brown in the battle for the starting job.
He hasn't participated in a full-team activity since he injured his left ankle in a game against Carolina on Nov. 9.
During that time, he underwent surgery to repair the ankle and went out of the country for a procedure on his right knee. He's spent all of training camp working out with a team trainer. If all goes well, Walker intends to play against New Orleans on Saturday.
"If I'm ready to play in a preseason game," Walker said, "probably without a doubt I'm going to play in the (regular-season) opener. So, everything is healing, it's still progressing."
That doesn't mean Russell should breathe a sigh of relief.
"I've said that, it's his job and we'll see how it goes," Cable said. "Unfortunately, Jeff hasn't had much work. We've been fortunate in that JaMarcus has improved. "… He's progressing the way you want him to. Not perfect yet, I would say at this point, he's the quarterback of the Oakland Raiders."
"They both did some good things again," Cable said of their performances against the 49ers. "That's a tough call. "… It's still a pretty good battle there. Charlie has stepped his game up, but Bruce has as well."
Both quarterbacks completed 3 of 5 passes against the 49ers. Gradkowski passed for one touchdown. Frye ran for a score. Each had a pass intercepted.

He will love the cereal. Babies are hungry and that milk just isn't enough. Good luck and have fun!

Tsk. Breast milk is more than enough! My child was strictly on breast milk until 7 months and he was always and continues to be in the 100% percentile.
Saying that...it is a very personal choice as to when to start solids...every family chooses what is right for them.
Good luck with the solids and happy eating!

We have been putting cereal in Jacob's bottle to thicken it to help with his spit up issues:) We tried the spoon but he (developmentally) isn't quite ready which I am totally fine with. Jack, on the other hand, was basically holding the spoon and feeding himself at 4 months!!! not really but just saying each kiddo is different...my 2 have been pretty opposite so far!

I think we went to food at five months. Josh was 16 lbs when he was six weeks old and the doc accused me of feeding him solid foods .....like I had committed a terrible sin! I told him I had NOT!! I don't think my little oriental doctor believed me.... He said, "my five year old not that big!"...but Josh just ate often and I went to the sitter's house at lunch to nurse and took pumped milk, too. I was a regular dairy for a while! I probably should have given him something so I could have gotten some SLEEP!!!!!

I'm a 16 year old and this is my first PC build. I probably could've saved some money on some parts like the cooler and motherboard but I was willing to spend extra on aesthetics and future upgradability.
I use the pc mainly for gaming and some light video editing. I also use this pc for some school work. So far no issues running games on this pc. I mainly play DOTA 2 and CSGO but this pc had no problems playing games such as Fortnite, Rainbow and GTA on max 1080p.
CPU Ryzen 5 2600 - I overclocked this cpu to 4.1 GHz with no issues there. Temps are slightly on the high end.
Motherboard- no issues with the motherboard other than the RGB controls. the app doesn't control every single lighting, you have to go to the BIOS to change the colours.
SSD- should've gone with 240gb as 120 fills up really quick.
GPU- No issues with the gpu, overclocked it to another 150MHz
Case- very well built, good cablemanagment(came with a bunch of zipties). Easy to build with, nice lighting but, very poor airflow which is the reason why I bought 4 fans.
Monitor- Love this monitor, 1080p 144hz 1ms response time and it is curved. I thought it was amazing for it's price. no height adjustment but you can adjust the angle which is fine by me because I used to use a laptop. Comes with a built-in headphone hanger.
Peripherals- Keyboard is great with the Mx reds, I kept my old mouse (Razer deathadder chroma) and the mouse pad is very smooth, similar to razer goliathus speed.
Overall, I'm pretty happy with my build. Runs very smooth, no issues so far. PC boots super quick and I can play my games with no lag. Huge improvement from a crappy laptop.
Please comment any suggestions you have for the setup!
Part Reviews
Great CPU, overclocked it 4.1 GHz. Temps get a bit high
CPU Cooler
Great cooler! it was cheaper than the non-RGB version. Installation was simple and I could sync the RGB to my motherboard which was a nice touch.
Great motherboard! goes well with the theme of my build. However the rgb app doesn't work very well, I had to go to the bios to change the colours.
Cheapest white RAM I could find, goes well with my build and I managed to overclock it to 3000 MHz
Fast SSD for it's price, pc boots in 20 seconds. I recommend going with 240gb instead of 120gb as it fills up very quick.
plenty of storage for games, would recommend this hard drive as it is reputable
Video Card
Great GPU! I went with this over the GTX 1660 due to price vs performance. This gpu has 8gb of vram and easily smashed 60fps in all my games on max 1080p. There is a little bit of GPU Sag but I fixed this by routing the cable from the top of the GPU
Good build quality, nice tempered glass, nice but subtle case lighting. Easy to build in with great cable management.
Took 1 star off due to poor airflow with the front intake. However, there are dustfilters for all the fans and powersupply. Also the lack of space between the power supply and the hard drive cage but, the case lets you route the cables from the front panel.
Power Supply
Great power supply, does it's job. Cables are covered giving the nice black look but a bit stiff.
Best monitor for its price! use it for gaming and editing, very smooth. Comes with a headphone hanger but it doesn't have height adjustment.
Awesome keyboard! like the sound of the mx reds. nice windows lock key and media keys. comes with a detachable wrist wrest.

The truth about Strategy – Who is Deborah Blair Porter?
There is a stunning mole in the earth of journalism.
Deborah Blair Porter appears to have an outstanding resume, producing for Edweek, The Los Angeles Occasions and The Day by day Breeze. She may have even had a community council situation in the South Bay of Los Angeles at some place. Ms. Porter has a "key" that makes a journalistic bias in the most egregious way. Maintain studying for a lot more.
Ms. Porter obviously supports the People with Disabilities in Education Act (Strategy), this is not abnormal. I have by no means heard of everyone who has at any time been from it. I not too long ago read an write-up authored by Ms. Porter that was posted in Edweek. The written content and opinions in her write-up ended up disingenuous and uncomfortable at least. Numerous sarcastic opinions precede her accusation of letter producing strategies en masse by the PTA to their legislatures to oppose Strategy. She promises that the PTAs are, "blaming exclusive training students and their mom and dad" for the budget disaster in California.
Just before I comment on the harmony of Ms. Porter's write-up, I will tackle her letter producing marketing campaign assertion. I searched the California PTA's website wherever I reviewed all information and facts about exclusive training. I identified practically nothing about letter producing strategies for exclusive training. What I did come across was an informational packet instructing mom and dad how to identify studying disabilities to uncover if they're student is eligible for Strategy rewards. There are two charges that the PTA supports regarding Strategy, AB661 Toralkson and AB826 Buchanan. These charges try to apportion a lot more condition revenue to Strategy.
Apart from the condition PTA, I did come across a proposed letter producing marketing campaign from Mission Viejo inquiring its membership to provide to the notice of the legislature that their university district had put in an more $13.7 in mandated Strategy services. The letter to the membership was authored by Caroline Paltin, Ph.D., Distinctive Education Chair for the Distinctive Education Committee. Hardly an assault on Strategy Distinctive Education Chair, Dr. Paltin, obviously is trying to mitigate the injury of monetary prerequisites by inquiring the federal federal government to appropriately fund the Strategy plans, as a substitute of getting the funding appear from the community university districts. http://www.svpta.org/newsletters/march08.pdf
Another community PTA, in a university district in Santa Barbara, stated that the PTA strongly supports growing federal funding for Strategy. I am not guaranteed how that is a letter producing marketing campaign, but maybe it should be.
Is it probable that Ms. Porter does not understand that a PTA inquiring for federal funding for Strategy services does not equate to "blaming exclusive training students and their mom and dad"?
She goes on to negatively place out that some people "think the duty for educating [exclusive training] lies elsewhere." That assertion is exact, but I am not guaranteed why she puts a adverse spin on it, well – it's possible I know why. Additional on that later. The explanation why people think that the duty lies elsewhere is for the reason that … the duty lies elsewhere in the scenario of Strategy. Strategy, a federal act has described and imposed services and mandates on the states for exclusive training.
Strategy all over again are mandates and not tips. However, the federal federal government only money about 19% of the value of Strategy services and other expenses, the condition (SELPA) kicks in one more 28% leaving university districts to use its have unrestricted money to cover the harmony of the expenses, this fund is known as an encroachment fund.
The aforementioned university district in Mission Viejo had an encroachment fund for Strategy in the sum of $13.7 million, and that's about ordinary. That encroachment fund arrives straight from university districts' budgets and from other university training plans, library and PE, like the lay off of academics which will trigger much larger course sizes in 2009-ten. I am not guaranteed why Ms. Porter assesses any of the PTA positions as, "a new level of blame [sec] staying directed squarely at mom and dad of youngsters with exclusive wants."
Ms. Porter further more tries to make the assert that: "According to the U.S. Section of [sec] Education is mostly a State and community duty in the United States."
Very good grief. This was her finest examination of why the states should be paying the invoice for Strategy? Initially of all, the mom and dad who are concerned about the funding are not mad at the condition for not funding the program, it is really about the inequity of the university districts getting to spend over 50% of the services from their have community budgets. In any party, her explanation about states and training is unimpressive and unreliable in her context. States getting duty to teach its students is attributed to the tenth Modification of the Structure (Monthly bill of Rights) establishing that for the reason that training is not outlined in the Structure, therefore the duty belongs to the states to make a decision training priorities.
Despite the fact that she unsuccessful to appropriately analyze the states' rights on training, or she willfully slanted the truth, she provided the ideal example to illustrate why the federal federal government should not be generating mandates and functions that have to have outdoors funding from states and university districts. As approved by a scenario in 1992, the Supreme Court docket made a ruling on a scenario alleging a violation of the tenth Modification, New York v. The United States of The usa (1992), 505 U.S. fourteen. The Supreme Court docket, in a 6–3 selection, identified that federally mandated plans violated the states rights beneath the tenth Modification. In her selection, Justice Sandra Working day O'Connor identified that the federal federal government can stimulate but are not able to mandate disorders for a federal Act and that the federal federal government are not able to immediately compel states to implement federal regulations by forcing the funding.
The federal federal government has no business enterprise mandating federal functions on the states. That is the place. Of course, the states want to harmony their have budgets and make cuts according to their revenues. But the federal federal government mandates Strategy plans without the need of consideration of the hardship that the mandates trigger and the essential cuts elsewhere. The condition should be in a position to teach all of the students like those people with disabilities.
Ms. Porter is accurate that it is really the state's proper, but then why protect Strategy mandates handed down from the federal federal government? You are not able to have it equally ways, Ms. Porter. Ms. Porter woefully unsuccessful to appropriately analyse any of her lawful findings. This is odd for a reporter to do. Why did she do this?
It results in being evident when you come across that Ms. Porter sued the Manhattan Seaside Unified University District for Strategy inadequacies and identified herself a millionaire with a almost $8 million settlement that arrived immediately from the Manhattan Seaside university district budget. The scenario is entitled, Porter v. Board of Trustees, Manhattan Seaside Unified University District 307 F3d. 1064. In truth, included in the Strategy statutes, there is an affirmative proviso for assumed conflicts adopted by lawful entitlements for those people who are not pleased with the school's adherence. Ms. Porter, in her lawsuit, claimed time and all over again that the exclusive training services for her son ended up not provided to her satisfaction. However her youngster has delayed studying and a delicate spectrum of autism, she insisted on a just one-on-just one help and other rewards for which her youngster was not qualified to receive. According to the Manhattan Seaside exclusive training office, the university district presented other treatments as approved for his ailment, having said that, Manhattan Seaside was unable to satisfy Ms. Porter's demands for more IEPs, plans and services. I guess she been given a settlement for the reason that she exhausted absolutely everyone, driving up lawful fees for the district – when she should have been exhausting her other treatments, in my impression.
In an write-up that I wrote back again on May well 13, I unwittingly profiled the scenario of Porter, getting had no inkling of who Porter was, I wrote: "Circumstance in place, Porter v. Board of Trustees of Manhattan Seaside Unified University District et al., 307 F. 3d 1064 (ninth Cir. 2002), 537 U.S. 1194, 123 S. Ct. 1303, 154 L. Ed. 2nd 1029 (2003). In the scenario of Porter, the mom and dad of a student, who had been identified with autism spectrum disorder, billed that Manhattan Seaside Unified University District unsuccessful to offer their youngster with a "no cost proper community training." This lawsuit resulted in the university district paying over $six.7M to the family members of the student. In addition, as section of the settlement, manage of the student's training was transferred to a Distinctive Grasp, Ivor Weiner, Ph.D., ensuing in the value of just beneath $1.1M to spend for the training of the student at the route of the Distinctive Grasp."
Following I posted this write-up, I began acquiring sarcastic and terrible opinions from somebody defending the Porter v. Manhattan Seaside scenario, 70 opinions in ten days. I am informed and think that these opinions arrived from Ms. Porter who was anonymously trying to discredit me on my have site and other sites.
Ms. Porter even embarrassingly employs her have scenario in her Ednews write-up to try to make a place about Strategy and protect this litigation, but by no means tells her visitors that she is the plaintiff in the scenario. I definitely will not know what to say outside of that for the reason that it is really these types of a blow to the earth of journalism and the sanctity of the truth. Why she keeps this a "key" is outside of the stretch of my creativity. I imagine Edweek should give me a shot at her job, at least I would do it with honor, dignity and precision.

Gdgt, the gadget site belonging to former Engadget editors Peter Rojas and Ryan Block, could belong to AOL by the end of the week. Another AOL-owned site, TechCrunch, has the basic details of the deal, although neither side would comment, save for this from Engadget's editor-in-chief, Tim Stevens. "We respect Gdgt, we've been using their databox for the past year and a half, but I couldn't comment on a possible acquisition," he said.
AOL, which has been pretty aggressive on the editorial acquisition front, with HuffPo, Engadget and all part of their stable, already seems to have some kind of agreement with Gdgt, using as it does Gdgt widgets. Two years ago, most of Engadget's staff walked out to form The Verge amidst rumors of unhappiness with AOL's editorial policy.

In Player Piano, Kurt Vonnegut's 1952 vision of a dystopian U.S., technology created a vast underclass of unemployed, and not even the technical elite were immune, as the engineer Bud Calhoun invents himself out of a job. Today, what is being described as the 'Second Machine Age' is upon us. Recently disappointing payrolls reports partly reflected the global trend of technology displacing jobs, and in turn reinforced fears of structural unemployment.
You don't have to look far these days to find reasons: Self-driving cars on our streets, self-sufficient solar-powered homes moving off the electrical grid, robotic-assisted surgeries taking place in our hospitals and, of course, possible home deliveries by drones are examples that show where we're headed. In fact, recent technological advances are reshaping virtually every aspect of our lives and it's not just routine repetitive tasks that are being automated. The theme even made it onto the agenda last month in Davos as economists, including Larry Summers, lined up to warn how technological disruption will result in unforeseen political, economic and social risks.
In the context of today's globalized economy and hyper-accelerated technological advances, it is true that emerging technologies can be extremely disruptive to entire industries, and clearly there are time lags when workers struggle to be retrained. More concerning is the fact that the 10-year rolling correlation between labor productivity and payrolls turned negative in the late-2000s, at least raising the possibility of a paradigm shift in the long-held relationship between productivity and employment, or at least a time when disruptions may be acute.
It doesn't take a great leap of faith to foresee increasing upheaval resulting from widespread joblessness – as we can already see in parts of the world – and as history has taught us. Even Vonnegut's Calhoun undergoes a Luddite transformation akin to that seen in the Industrial Revolution, but he ends up rebuilding the machines he smashes – symbolizing the futility of rejecting progress outright.
This dilemma isn't new and as Britain discovered in the 19th century, the way to address rising inequality is to invest in education that provides relevant critical skills. It has long been understood that productivity advances actually correlate positively with added employment, as economic growth from increased productivity creates more job opportunities over time.

What happens to the ribbon of land being created by the depression of the Central Artery may be the most important development decision to face Boston in a generation.
Keeping parkland promises
By Renata Von Tscharner, 2/10/2003
The long-awaited vehicular link between the Massachusetts Turnpike and Logan Airport is finally in service. But the Big Dig is about more than motorized transportation. With completion of the overall project now in sight we must look back at promises made to ensure the final phases of construction will recognize the needs of walkers and bicyclists as well as cars and trucks.
The parks and pedestrian access routes that assure the Big Dig will become more than just a vehicular system are part of a carefully negotiated mitigation plan. In an agreement made in the early 1990s between the US Environmental Protection Agency and the Central Artery Project, a series of pathways, pedestrian bridges, and parklands were stipulated as compensation to the public for what has become a painfully expensive and disruptive project.
To yield its full value, that agreement must be honored: The Rose Kennedy Greenway must connect to other parks and trails, most notably the Charles River Parklands, Harbor Walk, and Community Trail. Its parks and paths must be seen as part of a metropolitan system, not a disconnected downtown area.
Nowhere is this more apparent than at the new dam at the mouth of the Charles, which Charlestown residents cross daily when going downtown. Located in the New Basin beneath the Leonard Zakim-Bunker Hill Bridge, it will become the key connecting point for an expansive network of pathways, all designed to carry pedestrian and bicycle traffic from throughout Greater Boston.
In the New Basin a cluster of parks is under construction. A nearby water ferry enjoys growing patronage. A small park and walkways, designed to serve as a "portal" to the city's other parklands, are on the drawing boards. Planned and budgeted long ago, these connections all fall within the domain of Chief of Commonwealth Development Douglas Foy, whose long commitment to parklands should serve the public well.
The overall issue begs a promise which must be kept: assured access to and from the Kennedy Greenway and what is both the starting point and culmination of another great park system, the Charles River Parklands.
Almost submerged beneath a torrent of bad economic news and state budget cuts, multiple master plans for the renewal of the Charles River Parklands -- Greater Boston's "Central Park" -- are well underway. Key to the plans are a system of continuous pathways along both banks of the Charles through the New Basin and on toward the harbor.
A small network of ramps and pedestrian bridges on both sides of the river is required to negotiate the complex of roadways, railroad tracks, and canals inhabiting the river's mouth. These amenities are contractually obligated, but stand in jeopardy due to delays, cost overruns, and lack of public awareness.
The benefit they represent -- pedestrian and bicycle access to the Kennedy Greenway from the western and northern reaches of the metropolitan area -- is undeniable. Maintaining unbroken links is crucial to overcoming the size and inconvenience of the many obstacles pedestrians must negotiate. Government authorities and oversight groups with responsibility for bringing the Big Dig to a successful conclusion must live up to their obligation to protect the interests of the larger community.
Creating pedestrian and bike linkages makes even more sense in light of planned residential and commercial developments near Kendall Square and around the harbor dam. With thousands soon to be dwelling in what is now largely an industrial area, the beauty of the New Basin parklands will invite a host of attractions. Restaurants, boat landings, a skate park, and other recreational facilities will create a vibrant new district requiring easy access to and from downtown.
By ensuring that the Kennedy Greenway and Charles River Parklands are joined as part of a continuous whole, the promise of the Big Dig will be more fully realized. With linkage to the comprehensive metropolitan park system conceived of by Charles Eliot at the end of the 19th century assured, Greater Boston's endowment of public parklands of unparalleled reach and beauty will be significantly enhanced. This prospect is especially important in light of the proposed liquidation of the MDC and its stewardship over parklands and parkways throughout eastern Massachusetts.
The Democratic National Convention planned for 2004 will soon direct the attention of the world toward Boston. In keeping the promise of an integrated metropolitan park system we will strengthen Greater Boston's reputation as the green hub of an expansive and welcoming universe.
Renata von Tscharner is the president of the Charles River Conservancy, a citizen advocacy group dedicated to the renewal of the Charles River Parklands.

Tentacled Robotic Arms
Robotics +1; Incompatible with other arm replacements
Not half as cool as it sounds, these modified robotic arms are just specially designed cables, meant to allow you to twist and turn them however you'd like, even in small spaces. Rather than bulky pincers, this comes pre-fitted with an array of mobile tendril-like fingers for reaching into small places or carefully manipulating things. Using them for adult activities is still usually not a good idea.

What woman fears the most is diagnose of breast cancer which conjures up images of death, despair, or disfigurement.
According to the website breastcancer.org, one woman in eight will develop invasive breast cancer and the number of women who lose their lives to this disease each year is nearly 40.000.
To prevent becoming a statistic you can take many measures and each of them will help you to decrease your risk. You need to know that less than ten percent of all breast cancer cases are related to genetic risk factors, and the other 90% are triggered by environmental factors.
Dr. Mercola said that cancer can be prevented through appropriate lifestyle changes, such as exercising, cleaning up your diet, optimizing your vitamin D levels and avoiding toxins from every source which means taking careful inventory of all household and personal care products you use.
Scientists Identify 'Highest Priority' Toxins for Breast Cancer Prevention
To reduce your risk of breast cancer you can avoid certain chemicals which can be found in common, everyday products.
It is found that animal tests can predict likely human breast carcinogens, which is important because only 10% of breast cancers are genetic in nature. The scientists believe that the environment has a huge role.
Julia Brody, a Ph.D., study author and executive director at Silent Spring Institute says that every woman in America has been exposed to chemicals that may increase her risk of getting breast cancer, but the link between the toxic chemicals and breast cancer has been ignored. She also said that reducing chemical exposures can save many women's lives.
Researchers identified 216 chemicals which increase mammary gland tumors in rodents, and they narrowed the number to 102 chemicals that many women are exposed to on a regular basis through food, medications, air pollution, or consumer products.
They also prioritized these chemicals and grouped them based on exposure, chemical structure, and carcinogenic potential which resulted in 17 chemical groups which were flagged as "high priority" because their ability is to produce mammary tumors in animal tests.
Top offenders
Below is a list of cancer-causing chemical groups to avoid, and their most common sources of exposure. On this list, you will find another 27 different carcinogens that don't fit into these chemical categories but are considered a high priority and are found in pesticides, consumer products, and food. Examples of this are methyl eugenol that is used in processed food as an artificial and natural flavoring, and nitrosamines in smoked meats. Obesity and medical radiation are also preventable risk factors, but the medical radiation includes unnecessary mammograms.
High priority chemicals to avoid breast cancer prevention
|Flame retardants: Flame retardant products, plastic polymers, polyester resins, and rigid polyurethane foams;
|Acrylamide: Diet (especially starchy foods, such as French fries, cooked at high temperatures), tobacco smoke, and polyacrylamide gels in consumer products, such as diapers;
|Aromatic amines: Polyurethane, Azo dyes, pesticides, and many other products;
|Benzene: Gasoline (riding in a car, pumping gasoline, and storing gasoline in a basement or attached garage), tobacco smoke, paints, finishers, sealants, adhesive removers, and engine fuel and oils;
|Halogenated organic solvents: Hairspray propellant, dry cleaning, food processing, soil fumigants, gasoline additives, and paint and spot removers;
|Ethylene (EtO) and propylene oxide (PO): EtO is a gas used to sterilize medical equipment, clothing, food and spices, and musical instruments. Also found in tobacco smoke and auto exhaust. PO is a sterilant and fumigant. Also found in automotive and paint products;
|1,3-Butadiene: Cigarette smoke, gasoline fumes, automobile exhaust, and emissions from industrial facilities;
|Heterocyclic amines: Meat cooked at high temperatures, and tobacco smoke;
|Endogenous and pharmaceutical hormones and other endocrine disrupting chemicals: Estrogens, progesterone, and DES, along with other hormones;
|Non-hormonal pharmaceuticals that have hormonal activity: These include four chemotherapeutic agents, two veterinary drugs possibly present in food, the diuretic furosemide, the anti-fungal griseofulvin, and several anti-infective agents;
|MX: One of the hundreds of genotoxic by-products of drinking water disinfection;
|Perfluorooctanoic acid PFOA: Non-stick and stain-resistant coatings on rugs, furniture, clothes, and cookware; fire-fighting applications, cosmetics, lubricants, paints, and adhesives;
|Nitro-PAHs: Air pollution, primarily from diesel exhaust;
|PAHs: Tobacco smoke, air pollution, and charred foods;
|Ochratoxin A (a naturally occurring mycotoxin): Contaminated grain, pork products, and nuts;
|Styrene: Food that has been in contact with polystyrene; consumer products and building materials, including polystyrene, carpets, adhesives, hobby and craft supplies, and home maintenance products;
Flame retardants do FAR more harm than good…
You can't single out any particular chemical grouping as "the worst", but flame retardants may be the ones because they are used in many furnishings, even in your mattress.
Flame-retardant chemicals belong to the same class of chemicals as DDT and PCBs (organohalogens), and 90% of Americans have them inside their bodies, and these chemicals are linked to human health risks. These chemicals can build up in the environment, and react with other toxins as they burn so they can produce cancer-causing dioxins and furans.
Children's pajamas had a flame-retardant chemical known as chlorinated tris (TDCPP) and it was removed because many people had concerns that this chemical may cause cancer, but now this chemical is added to the couch cushions across the US. For mattresses, you can get one that is made of 100% Kevlar or wool, because these both are natural flame retardant without added chemicals.
Antiperspirants and cosmetics – other major culprits
A paraben is a chemical which is a preservative in antiperspirants and many cosmetics, but also in sun lotions. It has estrogenic activity in human breast cancer cells. A research which was published in 2012 found out one or more paraben esters in 99% of the 160 tissue samples collected from 40 mastectomies which are an indicator that the presence of parabens can increase your risk of breast cancer.
Antiperspirants can be a common source of parabens, but their source can't be established and this is a sign that parabens can bioaccumulate in breast tissue. The sources are various, including personal care products, cosmetics, and also drugs.
Other breast cancer prevention strategies
It is estimated by the American Institute of Cancer Research that about 40% of US breast cancer cases can be prevented if people chose wiser lifestyles. But if you start applying these lifestyle modifications below, then you can be one of the 75 to 90% of breast cancer cases that could be avoided.
|Avoid sugar, especially fructose. You need to reduce or eliminate processed foods, sugar/fructose, and grain-based foods. All forms of sugar promote cancer and are detrimental to health in general. But fructose is one of the most harmful. You need to limit your total fructose intake to less than 25 grams daily, but if you have cancer or are insulin resistant, then it is best if you restrict it to 15 grams or even less.
|Limit protein and increase healthy fat: You need to reduce your protein levels to one gram per kilogram of lean body weight. For most adults, it is unusual if they need more than 100 grams of protein. It is best if you replace the eliminated protein and carbs with high-quality fats, such as high-quality meats, organic eggs from pastured hens, coconut oil and avocados. Also, a ketogenic diet helps prevent and treat many forms of cancer.
|Get plenty of natural vitamin A. Vitamin A has a big role in helping prevent breast cancer. But the best way to get this vitamin is to obtain it from vitamin A-rich foods. The best sources are raw butter, organic egg yolks, beef or chicken liver and raw whole milk. But excessive vitamin A can negate the benefits of vitamin D and because vitamin D levels are crucial for your health in general, not to mention cancer prevention, it is essential for you to have the proper ratio of vitamin D to vitamin A in your body.
To provide all the vitamin A and vitamin D substrate that your body needs so it can regulate both systems naturally, you need to eat colorful vegetables for vitamin A and to expose your skin to safe amounts of sunshine every day for vitamin D.
|Get sufficient amounts of iodine. Iodine is an essential trace element that is required for the synthesis of hormones, and the lack of it can cause or contribute to the development of health problems, including breast cancer because your breasts absorb and use a lot of iodine, which they need for proper cellular function.
If you take mega-doses, in the tens of milligram range that can be counterproductive. It is not wise to get more than about 800 mcg of iodine per day.
|Nourish your gut: If you optimize your gut flora you will reduce inflammation and strengthen your immune response. A microbe-dependent mechanism is found through which some cancers mount an inflammatory response that fuels their development and growth. Researchers suggest that inhibiting inflammatory cytokines might slow cancer progression and improve the response to chemotherapy. And if you add naturally fermented food to your daily diet, that would be an easy way to prevent cancer or speed recovery. Know that you can always add a high-quality probiotic supplement as well, but keep in mind that naturally fermented foods are the best.
|Avoid GMOs: You need to avoid genetically engineered foods because they are typically treated with herbicides such as Roundup (glyphosate), which are likely to be carcinogenic. A team of researchers in France concluded that Roundup is toxic to human cells and likely carcinogenic to humans. You need to choose fresh, organic, preferably locally grown foods.
|Avoid charring your meats. Charcoal or flame broiled meat is linked with increased breast cancer risk. Acrylamide is a carcinogen created when starchy foods are baked, roasted, or fried and it increases breast cancer risk.
|Avoid unfermented soy products. Unfermented soy is high in plant estrogens, or phytoestrogens, which are known as isoflavones. Soy works together with human estrogen to increase breast cell proliferation, which increases the chances for mutations and cancerous cells.
|You need to drink a quart of organic green vegetable juice daily.
|You can add cancer-fighting whole foods, herbs, and spices to your diet, such as broccoli.
|Curcumin is an active ingredient in turmeric and when is in high concentrations it can be very useful in the treatment of breast cancer because it shows immense therapeutic potential in preventing breast cancer metastasis.
|You need to avoid drinking alcohol or at least try to limit your alcoholic drinks to one per day.
|Other lifestyle strategies for the prevention of breast cancer
|Optimize your vitamin D. Vitamin D influences virtually every cell in your body and it is one of the most potent cancer fighters of nature. It is able to enter cancer cells and trigger apoptosis (cell death). Vitamin D also kills cancer cells as effectively as the toxic breast cancer drug Tamoxifen, without any of the detrimental side effects. It can work synergistically with every cancer treatment with no adverse effects.
90% of ordinary breast cancer may be related to vitamin D deficiency according to Carole Baggerly, founder of GrassrootsHealth, A meta-analysis of five studies published in an issue of Anticancer Research found that patients who were diagnosed with breast cancer and had high levels of vitamin D were twice as likely to survive compared to women with low levels. The high serum group had a level of average vitamin D of 30 nanograms per milliliter (ng/ml), but the women in the low serum group averaged 17 ng/ml. This is the average level of vitamin D.
The physicians are urged by the researchers to make vitamin D monitoring and optimization part of the standard breast cancer care. You will need at least 30 ng/ml of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) to prevent cancer from spreading. But other research suggests that you will be better off with levels as high as 80 ng/ml.
|Maintain a healthy body weight. You need to lose excess body fat because fat produces estrogen and it can fuel breast cancer.
|Improve your insulin/leptin receptor sensitivity. The best way to do this is to avoid sugar and grains and you need to make sure you are exercising regularly.
|Avoid xenoestrogens which are synthetic chemicals that mimic natural estrogens and are linked to a wide range of human health effects, including reduced sperm counts in men and increased risk of breast cancer in women. Examples of xenoestrogens are bovine growth hormones in commercial dairy, plastics like bisphenol A (BPA), phthalates and parabens in personal care products, and chemicals used in non-stick materials.
|Breastfeed exclusively for up to six months because it will reduce your breast cancer risk.
|Avoid wearing underwire bras because metal underwire bras increase your breast cancer risk.
|Avoid electromagnetic fields as much as possible. You need to limit your exposure and protect yourself from radiation produced by cell phones, towers, base stations, and Wi-Fi stations, and you also need to minimize your exposure from radiation-based medical scans, including dental x-rays, CT scans, and mammograms.
|Get enough sleep: You need to make sure that you are getting enough restorative sleep. Your poor sleep can interfere with your melatonin production, associated with an increased risk of insulin resistance and weight gain, both of which contribute to cancer's virility.
|Employ effective stress management tools: A major contributor to disease is the stress from all causes. Stress and unresolved emotional issues can be more important than the physical ones.
Taking control of your lifestyle can significantly reduce your odds of cancer
To prevent breast cancer is more important and powerful than trying to detect it, and you need to avoid chemical hazards such as those that are reviewed above which are a big part of any cancer prevention strategy. But to do that you need to clean up your life to where your food, water, clothes, furnishings, and other products that you come into regular contact with are as close to natural and unprocessed as possible.
This also means that you need to seek out an organically-produced item, a piece of food, bed linens, clothing, and shampoo or laundry detergent. You need to replace the most of household cleaners and personal care items with a few simple, non-toxic ingredients. Many of the recommendations which are listed above will reduce your exposure to toxins that are causing cancers.

Okay, it's confession time (because I said so). I'll go first: I can't make rice to save my life. Embarrassing, right?! I'm here all like 'I have a food blog and you should make my stuff' but then in reality, I can't even make rice. I'm tellin' ya – I've tried it all. Rinsing it a bajillion times. Using a rice cooker. Rinsing it a bajillion times AND using a rice cooker. Using different kinds of rice. It always turns out sticky. Can somebody please tell me what I'm doing wrong?! Thank you. Confession time over.
Even though I can't cook rice it doesn't mean I don't like rice. I love rice! But with my less than stellar track record of cooking rice, I decided to try rice in soup. Bingo. Somehow it just worked for me. I am always a fan of tex-mex ingredients, so I loved the flavors of the cumin, chili powder, and oregano in this soup, especially combined with corn, onions, green chiles and bell peppers. Then of course, the chicken and rice, all together for one delicious soup.
I topped mine with cheese, sour cream, and chopped cilantro, but I'm thinking sliced avocado and tortilla chips would be delicious too. This soup is super quick to throw together (especially if you use rotisserie chicken) and would make for a really great quick, weeknight dinner.
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 white onion diced
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 can diced green chiles
- 2 cups shredded cooked chicken breasts
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp chili powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup white rice uncooked, rinsed well with cold water
- 4 cups chicken broth
- 1 cup salsa
- 1 cup frozen corn
- 1-2 cups water
- shredded cheddar cheese
- sour cream
- cilantro
- tortilla chips
- avocado
- In large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add onion and bell pepper, and saute until softened about 5-7 minutes.
- Add garlic and diced green chiles and cook another minute.
- Add chicken, spices, salt, and rice, and cook another 3 minutes.
- Add chicken broth, salsa, and corn.
- Bring to a boil, them reduce heat and let simmer for 25-30 minutes, until rice is cooked.
- Add additional water if needed.
- Serve in bowls, topped with cheese, cilantro, sour cream, avocado, tortilla chips, etc.
- Enjoy!

COLCHESTER - As they have for the last 15 years, residents, Bacon Academy officials and alumni, and those interested in local history gathered Wednesday morning on the Colchester Burying Grounds for the annual Founder's Day ceremony.
Organized each May for the last 15 years by members of the Bacon Academy board of trustees, the event honors the historic school's founder, Pierpont Bacon, who left $35,000 upon his death in 1800 for the construction of the original Bacon Academy on Main Street. The original school was finished in 1803, and is 215 years old this year.
The event also honors Bacon alumni with notable achievements.
The ceremony next to Pierpont Bacon's gravesite honored the late Morgan G. Bulkeley, a trustee and early attendee of the school who became the first president of baseball's National League, and alumnus Ron Wotus, who graduated in 1979 and went on to play Major League baseball. Later, he became a coach with the San Francisco Giants and today, Wotus is considered the longest-tenured coach in franchise history, according to the Giants' website.
Bulkeley's grandson, Peter Bulkeley, of Old Saybrook, attended the ceremony, and said his grandfather would have been pleased with the honor. Along with founding the Hartford Dark Blues baseball team in 1874, Bulkeley also served as the 54th governor of Connecticut and as president of the insurance company Aetna for 43 years. In 1937, Bulkeley was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum.
"He was honored so darn many times, but he would still be impressed," Bulkeley said of his grandfather, who passed away in 1922. "He really loved this town, and loved Eastern Connecticut. He always considered Colchester the roots of our family."
Other speakers at the event included Bacon Academy Principal Matthew Peel, Board of Education Chairman Bradley Bernier, and David Shea, a Bacon Academy coach and alumnus.
Shea, who coached Wotus during his high school years, spoke of his athletic talent and strong work ethic, while Wotus' brother, John, read a statement from Ron, who was unable to attend.
"This honor would not be taking place if it wasn't for the support of my mentors, my coaches and my family growing up here in Colchester," John Wotus read. "To the students of Bacon Academy: I have nothing but fond memories of Bacon. You too should embrace your teachers, listen to your coaches, and enjoy your high school experience to its fullest. You'll remember it for the rest of your lives."
Former school board chairman Ronald Goldstein, who attended the ceremony, spoke of the importance of Founder's Day.
"We need to remember our roots and our traditions, and celebrate them," he said. "That's what makes the community, and this school in particular, so special."

I can't believe that it's September already, this month has flown by. Still, time waits for no man and so on Sunday just gone I made the usual pilgrimage up to Chiswick with my mother to see what we could find.
I hadn't intended to spend much money (as I'm broke), and thus hadn't brought much with me… so it's good job that I did go with my mother as I had to rely on her purse in the end. Bargains really do need to be snapped up when you see them, they might not be there when you go back!
First up is this fabulous vintage school desk. I've wanted one of these since I built the studio in my garden, but they're usually far too expensive (ranging from £40 for a single desk to £100 for a double like this one), so I've had to reluctantly walk away from all the others. This one has been painted black at some point, but the wood is sound and I intend to strip it back to the bare wood at some point (probably next year). Bargain price of £35, from the very nice man who sold me a trunk this time last year!
It's the perfect size. I've removed the two cheap and cheerful Ikea desks I had in there, and this one allows room at the end for the cupboard I bought last month! Of course I had to half empty my studio and tidy up again in order to rearrange everything, but it was definitely worth it.
Next up we have a load of DVDs… this first lot ranged from 50p to £1 each (Sleeping Beauty was a particular bargain, Disney classics are usually £5 upwards)…
… and then I just couldn't help myself when I saw all eight series of Charmed… a bargaintastic £30, and they threw in the Back to the Future trilogy as a freebie!
That lot ought to keep me entertained for the foreseeable future while I work in my studio!
Last up from Chiswick this month were some nice wooden boxes. The first one was 50p, and the second one £2 – I plan to make a miniature book to fit into each section.
A trip to the boot sale wouldn't be complete without books of some description, and I was pleased to find some more Enid Blyton books at 50p each.
These last items weren't from Chiswick, but I picked them up on Saturday at a sale being held by a prop hire company. It was a pretty random discovery, I passed by their premises when I was on my way back from the tip and saw them setting up tables so I went back a couple of hours later to have a rummage. Lovely old cigar boxes, sturdier than the usual ones I get, £1 each.
That's it for this month, and I do need to be a little more frugal so hopefully I won't see anything too tempting next time!

Listen to KAren Swain's wonderful conversation with Frances Rae Key, author and scribe of the Team Book Series: A Mother's Wisdom from the Other Side, on ATP Media.
On October 9, 2010, at the age of 86, Australian born, Gloria Crystal "Teddy"Key passed away at her Florida home, her family by her side. Nineteen days later, her lilting Australian voice began to communicate with her eldest daughter, Frances, about the scope and wonder of her new perspective from the afterlife state. This remarkable collection of insights, written in less than a year and divided into four books, has astounded friends, family and a growing circle of readers with its unique analogies, depth of wisdom, and unusual outlook on the human experience.
Teddy conveys that each soul is on the Earth as a member of a spiritual Team, with overarching and specific missions in life. She reveals how various Teams work through what appear to be "individuals" and how there's so much more than meets the eye to our relationships, environment, and impulses. Find out more below

From Book Two
"I share with you now a set of ideas that may be different from what you are familiar with. You may find that you need to suspend some familiar and deeply rooted impressions in order to be able to grasp what is being said in this segment. For this reason do we say, "Let Truth be free." That which rings true for you, may you embrace. That which does not, please gently release.
First, I ask you to suspend the idea that you have come to the Earth only to grow. Rather, I ask you to consider that you have come to the Earth to assist with the evolution of the consciousness of the planet, and in the process of doing so, you grow. In other words, you are here primarily to assist, and the by-product of that assistance is personal growth." The Team Books: A Mother's Wisdom from The other Side

A Taste of Place
We had the good fortune of a day off this past weekend and so we took full advantage. It's a bit early to celebrate the bounty of the region but we did our best.
The best place to start is you want a taste of fresh local food is a farmers market. My favourite in our region is the Penticton market, a sprawling conglomeration of farm booths, food trucks, craft vendors and even a bit of kitsch. Being able to wander Main Street amongst the families with dogs and children while being serenaded by the many buskers along the way is a special experience. I love the chance to enjoy my coffee in a ceramic mug too – local roasters Cherry Hill offer freshly brewed java and you just deposit the mug in one of the bins they provide en route.There is plenty of sustenance to be had – we each got a muffin from Brodo Kitchen and some fresh-picked strawberries ("picked last night" he told us). The fruit galette we got at Joy Road Catering we wanted to save for later, but we also could have munched on Thai food, crepes, tacos, or any one of a myriad of pastry choices.
This early in the summer the fruits and veggies are not as plentiful of course. However there are plenty of booths offering flower bouquets, homemade preserves, honey, eggs, and even frozen meat from the farm.
Another wing of the market has crafts and artistic products as well as goods sold by what I call "hawkers". These items are no so much "as seen on TV", as they are nifty inventions or natural alternatives for household or body maintenance. I feel like I'm at the county fair when I walk this section; it's entertaining.
Once we had our fill of the market fun, we mosied up the road for some wine. After all, when in Rome – or wine country … We didn't have much time but I had pre-ordered some wines in the spring. I took a bunch of scenic photos and a few pages of notes, so that will be in a soon-to-be released post.
Here's hoping you make time to taste the flavours of where you are this weekend.
A Weekend in the Big City
Living as a country mouse means I get to enjoy space and quiet and peace of mind most days. That's not to say I don't like a dose of urban hustle and bustle once in a while. Hubbie and I just got back from a whirlwind weekend in Vancouver, so I thought I would share some of our highlights. Then you can try out our discoveries, if you like what you see.
We met my stepdaughter for dinner on Friday night in downtown Vancouver. She is recently engaged so we knew the conversation would be all about wedding plans. That required a place casual enough for lots of silly chatting and sharing of Pinterest photos; a tapas restaurant in Gastown sounded perfect. The Sardine Can worked out really well, with delicious food and lovely wine.
As an added tip, I'll mention that Gastown is a busy part of town for after-work drinks and socializing. Be prepared to wait – you will likely have to get a drink at one place while you wait for a seat at another place. Maple Tree Square is the centre of the action, with restaurants and pubs all around. We wandered into Chill Winston to have our first toast of the evening, since The Sardine Can only has a few seats and they were all full.
We visited, but you could go alone and enjoy – it's a great people-watching spot, and the staff are friendly. Our bartender Charlie even made a custom drink for my stepdaughter.
The tapas were great and the Spanish wines helped transport us; we felt as if we'd snuck into a cozy spot on a side street in San Sebastián.
By the time we were done we had discussed wardrobe, menu, flowers, and the ceremony venue.
When your Papa is a chef who knows pastry and chocolate, dessert has its own significance. A trip to Sweet Obsession was in order.
This gem in Kitslano was made famous by a protegé of my hubbie, so it's near and dear to our hearts. Tracey now owns Lemonade Bakery, where she specializes in gluten free products. There is no cafe to stay and eat, but it is worth a trip even if you aren't gluten free.
On Saturday we had to make our cardinal stop. Ever since I was a kid, my favourite foodie spot in Vancouver has been Granville Island Public Market. It still warms my heart and my tummy on every visit, especially now that it's the source of so many memories.Brave the busy parking and shuffle your way through the crowds – it's worth all the fuss to enjoy a coffee, or a piece of pie, or fresh fruit, or fudge, or fish and chips (they have it all) and sit outside to watch the boats and birds in False Creek.
We stocked up on all our favourites, planning for a picnic dinner that night in our hotel room. (Having a full suite with a kitchen made it easier and much more comfortable than eating on a hotel bed.) More on that later.
Saturday lunch was for more family time, so again casual was the theme. Hubbie wanted to do some research, so we chose a BBQ joint – oddly enough, it was back at the same square in Gastown that we had visited the night before.
We met my brother and his girlfriend to trade gifts and then wandered down to Peckinpah BBQ, a southern style joint where most of the menu is set up very simply: pick your meat, then choose a few "sides" to go with it. There was beef, pork and chicken (we had a bit of each). Sides included corn bread, hush puppies (basically fried cornbread), coleslaw, fried pickles, and of course mac and cheese.
I can't speak for the mac and cheese as we skipped that one but the other items were all solid efforts. I prefer vinaigrette for my coleslaw dressing; theirs was creamy and peppery. Fried pickles are good if you eat them fresh from the fryer; wait more than a few minutes and they get soggy. The jalapeño mayo they make for dipping the pickles was just the right touch of heat. We discovered it worked well with hush puppies and chicken wings too.
There is something especially comforting about food shared with family after a long absence. My brother and I hadn't shared a meal in years and dipping hush puppies together as we laughed at old stories made the tastes even better. I know it won't be nearly as long till we sit around a table again.
The picnic my hubbie and I set out that evening was just a nibble before heading out dancing, as we weren't very hungry after all that BBQ. What an elegant way to picnic, though, in our vintage suite at the Arundel Mansion Hotel in New Westminster.
Sunday brunch was my own sentimental indulgence. Years ago my dad introduced me to a place out by the airport that was unique in its ambience. The Flying Beaver Bar & Grill sits on the water in Richmond, next door to the Harbour Air terminal for seaplanes. You can sit and watch them land and take off as you sip your beer and nibble on a homemade burger or Eggs Benny. I hadn't been back in years, but it was just as good as I remember. (It's just busier, like everything in Vancouver fifteen years later.)
Sometimes we head to the city and try out new places, looking for new adventure. This time was more about connections. It was heartwarming to reconnect and add to the memories. Not to mention we filled the fridge with delicacies.

Firstronic has announced that its facility in Juarez, Mexico is now certified to ISO 13485:2003. Its registrar is Intertek.
"I am very pleased that our team in Juarez has achieved this milestone. We have several medical customers in our pipeline and have made the investment in this additional certification to ensure we meet their rigorous requirements," said John Sammut, Firstronic's president and CEO.
Firstronic established the greenfield facility in Mexico in 2014. Today, it operates four SMT lines as well as higher level assembly lines. It is also certified to ISO 9001:2008 and ISO/TS16949. In addition to medical customers, the facility serves a growing customer base in the automotive, consumer and industrial market sectors.
"While our systems were set up well for our automotive, industrial and consumer customers, we needed to make some changes to best serve medical customers. To that end we have implemented an Installation, Operation, Performance Qualification (IOPQ) process to provide a standardized approach to equipment and software validation. We've also enhanced our management review process to define specific strategic, operational and tactical deliverables. Finally, we made some adjustments to document control within our Plex ERP system to link current versions of Level II customer specific documents to the Part List/Control panel for ease of access by employees. These changes ultimately benefit all of our customers because they all contribute to more efficient, operations," said Tony Bellitto, Director of Quality.
Firstronic's facility in Grand Rapids, Michigan is also in the process of pursuing ISO 13485:2003 certification and has adopted all of the same quality system enhancements.

Guernsey's introduction of its Aircraft Registry, the 2-REG, in December 2013 provided another excellent opportunity to shine the spotlight on Guernsey and to showcase what it has to offer international clients looking for bespoke solutions and excellent standards of service.
As has been pointed out in many articles since the launch, Guernsey continues to be attractive because it offers innovative and fully serviced wealth management and financial services solutions to individuals and corporates from all over the world from the full range of financial, legal, accountancy and fiduciary providers.
However, so far, not much has been said about tax. Is there a tax angle?
Of course! Clients who wish to establish a vehicle to hold their aircraft, regardless of where that aircraft is registered, may choose a Guernsey incorporated company and therefore take advantage of the benign tax regime which applies. Guernsey's corporate tax regime, known as Zero 10, has a general rate of company tax of 0% with a narrow intermediate rate of 10% applying to certain banking activities as well as the income of regulated fiduciary activities and certain types of insurance business. Income from local property and regulated utilities is taxed at 20%.
A company established to own an aircraft would be subject to 0% tax on any income. If the company was owned by non-residents and did not have any employees, its tax filing position would be very simple with no tax computations or accounts required but rather an annual "tick box" return filed online. In addition, the company's shareholders could waive the requirement for an audit which would further reduce costs.
Other attractions of Guernsey's tax regime include the fact that there is no capital gains tax, capital transfer tax, inheritance tax, VAT or GST. Furthermore, dividends, interest and royalties can all be paid from the company to a non-resident with no requirement to deduct Guernsey tax.
Those who wish to relocate to Guernsey will find the personal tax regime equally appealing with a 20% rate of income tax capped at a maximum of £220k per annum (or £110k for non-Guernsey source income only) – highly attractive for its simplicity.
But is it all as simple as that?
From a corporate tax perspective a key consideration is to ensure that the company preserves its Guernsey residence status for tax purposes and does not inadvertently find itself subject to corporate taxes in other countries. To the extent that the company generates any income, it is important to ensure that the central management and control, as well as the general running of the company, takes place in Guernsey, ideally with the appointment of directors who are resident in Guernsey and therefore able to make any decisions regarding the company in Guernsey.
A key point to bear in mind with the 2-REG (in common with other similar registries) is that 2-REG registered aircraft are prohibited from being operated for commercial air transport purposes, which means that the aircraft cannot be used for the carriage of passengers or cargo in return for payment. Hence aircraft registered in Guernsey will typically be used by individual owners and their families or by companies in order to transport their employees. As such, the way the aircraft is used is unlikely to have an impact from a corporation tax perspective unless there is a question around a tax deduction for the lease/depreciation cost of the aircraft and of course the ultimate sale of the aircraft could be significant for corporation tax purposes. In contrast, the VAT regime works quite differently and presents some additional considerations!
Where an aircraft is registered and whether or not VAT has to be paid are two separate questions. Non-Guernsey based, Guernsey-registered aircraft will not be subject to any greater or lesser amount of VAT as a result of registering in Guernsey. Guernsey does not have VAT or GST and therefore registering an aircraft in Guernsey or importing an aircraft into Guernsey will not in itself result in VAT being payable in Guernsey. If a Guernsey-registered aircraft is purchased outside of Guernsey or is imported into a country other than Guernsey then VAT may be payable, depending upon the rules of the country in which it is purchased or into which it is imported.
VAT usually applies depending on very specific "place of supply rules" which need to be analysed to understand where the sale or lease is treated as taking place for VAT purposes. For supplies of goods, such as the sale of an aircraft, this is typically linked to the physical location of the aircraft when it is sold but if this is outside the EU and the aircraft then flies into the EU, VAT may be due on importation. Leases of aircraft may be supplies of goods or services depending on the terms and duration of the lease – so again, other VAT rules may need to be considered.
The VAT analysis of aircraft transactions can be complex but the next few sections set out the basic rules.
VAT is a European tax which is based on a single piece of law, called the Principal Directive, which, broadly speaking, governs the way VAT is implemented within national law. As such, when, for example, analysing the VAT implications of a transaction which takes place in the UK, it is important to refer to the UK's VAT Act. However, when considering more widely how transactions are treated across the EU, it is helpful to refer to the Directive, as well as considering the national legislation and practices of the member state(s) involved. VAT is not a tax on profit but applies to the gross transaction value (sales proceeds, lease charge). If VAT is incurred, for example on the purchase of the aircraft or importation into the EU, the VAT may be recoverable by the recipient if they are registered for VAT in the EU and if they can demonstrate the VAT has been incurred for a business purpose. In addition, there is a relief from VAT for certain aircraft (essentially a 0% VAT rate) but this only applies to those aircraft "used by airlines operating for reward chiefly on international routes". As already noted, the Registry will not permit an aircraft to be registered if it is carrying out commercial air transport operations and so it is highly unlikely that any 2-REG aircraft will benefit from the VAT zero rating.
If an aircraft owned by a non-EU resident is flown into the EU, the aircraft can remain there for up to six months with no VAT liability arising due to the Temporary Importation regime. If a more substantial presence is required, and if the aircraft is being used and flown in and out of the EU, then VAT may be due on importation. If the company is using the aircraft within a business (for example, flying employees as part of their job) it should be possible to ensure that such VAT charged is recoverable. This means that VAT-registered owners permanently importing a Guernsey-registered aircraft into the EU to use for business purposes should be able to recover any VAT incurred. If the owner of the aircraft to be imported is not VAT-registered, or if the aircraft is not being imported into the EU for business purposes, then VAT will be payable. Certain EU member states allow for an aircraft that is to be used for both business and pleasure to be imported into the EU via that member state if VAT is paid in relation to the proportion of the use that will be for pleasure.
As indicated above, the VAT place of supply rules are a minefield and the analysis can be complex to determine where a sale or lease takes place for VAT purposes; it is therefore prudent to take specialist advice in relation to each particular aircraft.
Although not relevant to the 2-REG, other rules to watch with aircraft surround the VAT treatment of chartering. The rules can change depending on whether the charter is for more or less than 30 days, the nature and size of the aircraft, who is the operator and who is the customer! Furthermore, the rules are sometimes different even within the EU!
Any transactions with third parties should involve careful consideration of the possible impact of VAT, as at rates averaging 20% that apply to the value of the asset (not the gain) it could be a significant cost to mismanage.
What about duty?
Guernsey has a special "hybrid" status being within the EU customs union, allowing goods to move around free of duty, but outside the EU for VAT purposes. This can provide advantages although only to the extent that the physical movement of the goods is to or from Guernsey. The rate of customs duty for most aircraft is typically 0% according to the customs tariff applied across the European Union. However, care needs to be taken where goods are transported on board the aircraft as these could be subject to customs or excise duty on importation. Furthermore, duty rates outside the EU could be higher and so specific advice should be sought depending on where the aircraft will be used.
Guernsey has raised its profile as a highly transparent and co-operative regime at an international level with a tax regime that is attractive to clients wishing to establish asset-holding structures. The registration of an aircraft on the 2-REG allows an owner to enjoy the highest standards of safety oversight, customer service and convenience without any tax disadvantage. However, international tax and VAT rules are complex and the rates can be high and therefore it is essential that comprehensive and bespoke tax and VAT advice is sought in order to avoid any inadvertent costs arising.

text: Zoom Download original image THEATRE / FEMALE AUTHORS: Ein Mord in der Kohlenbrenner Gasse [A Murder in the Coal Burners' Lane] A manuscript in German or Austrian version of a farce, written for the theatre by a female author Marie Gordon. Author: Marie GORDON, nom de plume Alexander BERGEN (1810-1862). Place and Year: [Probably Austria or South Germany, 1860s or 1870s]. Technique: 8°. [48] manuscript in German language in black ink, originally bound together with a string (tiny tears in margins, wrappers with small tears on the spine and slightly dusty, otherwise in a good condition). Code: 68100 A manuscript in German language is a modified transcription of a theatre play, written by a Viennese female author Marie Gordon (1810-1862). Marie Gordon was a Viennese female author of mostly theatre pieces, who was publishing under the name Alexander Bergen. A young widow, who was fluent in German, English and French, translated in 13 years circa 60 plays and wrote a series of her own texts, some of which were published only after her death. Our play is a version of Gordon's play Der Mord in der Kohlmessergasse, first published in 1860 (https://books.google.de/books?id=FiV8lyU4lQkC&pg=PA6&dq=Mord+in+der+Kohlenbrenner+ Gasse++Langer&hl=de&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj5jvuAn7zjAhUV4KYKHfX8DcgQ6AEIKTAA# v=onepage&q=Kohlenbrenner&f=false ), but with modified title (Kohlmessergasse was a street in Vienna and would not have any meaning to non-Viennese inhabitants) and added text on the end. The author's name, which reads Langer instead of Bergen suggests, the text was copied after another manuscript, as in German cursive Gothic script the two names would look similar. The farce was popular at the time in village theatres and folk's fests. A play with our version of the title was recorded in February at the Carnival in Ansbach, Bavaria, and was described by the local newspaper as exceedingly funny ("urkomisch"), well received and its humour kept the audience laughing hours after the end (Sonntags-Beigabe der Fränkischen Zeitung (Ansbacher Morgenblatt), No. 9, Sonntag, den 2. März 1873). Our version was probably made for one of such folk's fests or for a local theatre. Availability: In stock Only 1 left €180.00 Qty: Add to Cart -OR-
