Protecting links and fixing broken links within SQL databases has been a problem for which, to date, there has not been a simple solution.
Clearwater, FL (PRWEB) July 09, 2014
Studies have shown that 40% of data migrations fail to be completed on time(1), often presenting several unnecessary and costly risks such as lost productivity and lost data due to broken links — a liability which several experts deem a growing IT threat, but one that can be combated with the use of link protection software. LinkTek Corporation announces the latest release of its LinkFixer Advanced software, which adds the ability to automatically fix file links residing within SQL databases.
IT and Information Governance leaders, in the midst of a data migration, cannot afford to take the chance that their company's data won't be fully accessible upon completion of the restructuring project. As a result, LinkTek has taken steps to remedy another frequent risk factor by adding to its software the ability to move or rename files or folders while simultaneously maintaining the links contained within SQL databases that point to those same files or folders. LinkTek Executive Vice President, Rick Crites, maintains that moving and renaming files usually causes embedded file links to become broken, resulting in missing data, upset users and lost time and money. LinkFixer Advanced, long renowned for its ability to automatically fix file links within the world's most common file types, has been upgraded with the ability to automatically preserve and fix links stored in SQL databases.
"Protecting links and fixing broken links within SQL databases has been a problem for which, to date, there has not been a simple solution," said Crites. "Typically, fixing broken links within SQL databases, particularly after a data migration, has, at the least, resulted in delays in completing projects, as well as additional costs and headaches for IT staff. But with this newest release of LinkFixer Advanced, IT professionals now have a solution to automatically find and fix broken file links within SQL databases."
LinkTek's LinkFixer Advanced software provides organizations and IT departments a solution by eliminating the time-consuming and tedious process of manually finding and fixing broken file links in SQL databases, such as when files or folders are moved during a data migration to a different drive, server, storage device — or even into a content management system, such as SharePoint or OpenText. Links within SQL databases that reference those files and folders are automatically updated so that the links do not break during the migration or renaming process, per Crites. Additionally, LinkFixer Advanced can also be used to fix broken links in batch, even if files or folders were moved or renamed without using LinkFixer Advanced to begin with (for example, when using Windows Explorer, RoboCopy or a data migration application).
LinkFixer Advanced is notable for its ability to move and rename files in batch — such as Microsoft Excel, Access, Word, PowerPoint, Visio, Adobe Acrobat, HTML, AutoCAD, MicroStation, InDesign and Windows shortcut files — without causing broken links. But move files without LinkFixer Advanced, and broken links usually occur. LinkFixer Advanced for SQL supports the most commonly used SQL databases, such as Microsoft SQL.

ROCKFORD - At the airport, they're still looking for ways to link Rockford and Europe via the air.
Brand Aviation, a British marketing company specializing in custom route development for airport clients, has been hired to promote Chicago Rockford International Airport.
Brand Aviation will be paid up to $15,000 under a contract approved last week by the Greater Rockford Airport Authority board.
Amy Ott, deputy director of the airport, said the Liverpool-based firm has been successful in route development in Europe. Airport officials hope Brand Aviation's connections and expertise can lead to routes here for low-cost carriers that cater to vacation travelers.
"They're going to be doing some research and looking at some ideal locations," Ott said.
Brand Aviation's website says it has client airports in Europe and Africa. It also works with European airlines, said Andre´ Morrall, of Brand Aviation, via email.
Morrall declined to specify what kind of work the company will be doing for the airport.
"Suffice to say, there are some opportunities opening up now for airports like RFD, essentially because of the emergence of some new route network business models, which we hope RFD can exploit," he said.
Zach Sundquist, the airport's passenger air service development manager, said the company has had success dealing with low-cost carriers "and know a lot of deciding factors that carriers in Europe use" when picking new destinations.
Several charter operators have pitched European routes to the airport over the year, but none has successfully launched service.
The closest was in 2011, when Air Plus was minutes away from the first of 13 round trip summer flights to Zagreb, Croatia, and Belgrade, Serbia. The company it leased planes from had not followed Federal Aviation Administration training regulations and the agency grounded the plane as the crew readied for takeoff.
Air Plus canceled the rest of the flights, offered refunds for the 3,000 tickets it sold and folded.

Luxury designer and native Angeleno Elisabeth Weinstock knows the art of blending elegance with edge — a skill she attributes to having grown up a punk rock kid in Beverly Hills (the spiked Christian Louboutin sneakers she is wearing one recent day further validates this point).
Her line of accessories for men, women and the home incorporates exotic skins and leathers in a variety of colors in one-of-a-kind pieces such as humidors, cigar holders, travel valets, Dopp kits, clutches and jewelry armoires. Weinstock's travels inspired the look and feel of each hand-made item, most of which are named after foreign cities and countries such as Dubai, Milan and Greenland. Prices range from $96 for a travel valet to around $25,000 for a large jewelry armoire.
Weinstock's line began when she decided to build a 4-feet-tall jewelry box wrapped in exotic skin. After that first armoire quickly sold in 2008, Weinstock continued creating boxes in a multitude of shapes, sizes and purposes — including stacking boxes, cuff link boxes, tissue boxes and special use containers such as condom boxes, which can be used to discreetly store their contents on a boudoir table. In 2011, she introduced a bag collection for women, and her men's line followed shortly thereafter.
On Monday, Weinstock brought her three collections under one roof at her new West Hollywood boutique. Weinstock, who worked as an interior designer for nearly a decade, gutted the 1930s-era property and rebuilt the rooms to showcase the brand while preserving the integrity of the building. "The vision that I had for the property was, first and foremost, to make each room a little bit different," explains Weinstock.
The brand is showcased through four rooms. The "living room" displays furniture pieces and accessories. The "boudoir" features the jewelry box collection and premier bag line. The "man cave" is filled with items suitable for a gentleman, and the "dining room" is set up for hosting private dinner parties and selling tabletops.
With the exception of the dining room table, all items in the store, from the cabinets and shelves to the wood paneling and fully stocked bar, were designed and constructed by Weinstock. "The living room is very whimsical and is a more modern, playful room. You see that in the fuchsia couch, the cases, the snakeskin backgammon table and the pop art on the walls," Weinstock says.
"I wanted the boudoir to feel warm, alluring, sexy and old-world beautiful," she says. "I want customers to walk in that room and immediately feel the need to reach out and touch everything. And then the man cave was where I wanted you to imagine
With a barista, cappuccino machine, crystal glasses from which to drink complimentary alcoholic beverages, the shop feels welcoming. "We want people to come here and feel special," Weinstock says. "We want them to understand and appreciate each and every item that we have and understand the craftsmanship that has gone into it."

10. Honeywell H316 "kitchen computer"
Most likely the weirdest one of the bunch. I stumbled upon this machine while doing some normal browsing, and it stuck - and not only because of its use of red (I have an obsession with the colour red). That white plateau is actually a cutting board, where the wife (yes, back then, in 1969, it was the wife) could prepare the food she was cooking for her loving, hard-working husband and children. This computer was nothing more than a recipe storage device, and its designers were smart enough to allow the wife to prepare the recipe without having to move away from the computer's 'display', a set of binary lights.
The machine had a 2.5Mhz processor, 4kb of core magnetic memory, and had some recipes pre-programmed, since learning how to program any new recipes into the device took two weeks. In all honesty - I could not care less. I love the machine because it is red, has a cutting board built-in, and is like nothing you have ever seen before (or will be seeing). And for USD 10600, it came with a cookbook and an apron. I mean, I dare you to resist that.
Readers of the popular webcomic User Friendly will know the SGI O2 as the body for the Erwin character, an artificial intelligence written in COBOL. Most people, however, will remember it as the last entry-level workstation by the once proud Silicon Graphics, Inc., introduced in 1996. It came with a single MIPS processor running anywhere between 150 and 400Mhz. It could house up to 1GB of proprietary SDRAM memory. It obviously ran SGI's own IRIX operating system, but could run a selection of BSDs and Linux too.
I do not really know why I like the O2's design so much. I usually refer to it as "the blob", because let's be honest, it sure does look like one. I guess my fascination for the O2 comes from the fact that, just like the H316, it is unique in its design. It is not a desktop, it is not a regular tower - it is special. May I coin the "blob form-factor"?
8. PlayStation 2
A machine that needs no introduction, but might need some justification instead. Some will say it is not a traditional computer like the others on this list, but I beg to differ. A gaming computer is still a computer, and since this thing can run a version of Linux fully blessed by Sony, I see no reason not to include the best-selling game console of all time on my list of ten most beautiful computers.
What I like about the PlayStation 2 was its unusual design (back then) for a game console. It lacked the playfulness of most other consoles of its era, and focused more on an industrial and hardcore image. I love the 'ridges', which remind me of NeXT's hardware, and the fact that you can position it both vertically as well as horizontally (with a twisting PS logo to match).

COLUMBIA - As South Carolina's unemployment rate crept upward 0.3 percent last month, a longer view of development activities suggests construction is also struggling to recover.
The S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control is on pace to receive about 20,000 applications by the end of the year for air quality permits, land and waste management, land-clearing work, private well installations, waste water discharge, and categories filed with the agency's coastal division. DHEC issues about 200 different types of permits, according to agency official Mike Rowe.
In 2011 the total for both was about 22,500, in 2010 it was about 22,700, and in 2009, the volume was nearly 24,800. The highest level of applications in recent years was reached in 2006, the total received was 35,588. "People plan these things so far ahead, so things being built in 2007, 2008, 2009 were financed and planned well ahead of that time," said Rowe in an interview. "Things that would have been built in 2010 and 2011, you were unable in 2008 or 2009 to get to financing."
DHEC officials insisted they weren't holding permits up.
When a snapshot of the data was presented to DHEC board members on July 12, inquiries from the appointees centered around whether regulators could speed up the permitting process.
"Everybody's goal is to do this as quickly as possible," Rowe responded, adding that protracted cases are rare.
The health agency's director also said as much.
"I walked into this agency, in all candor, going, 'oh my gosh, it's broken, it's broken it's broken.' I have yet to find an example - yet to find an example," said DHEC head Catherine Templeton, who was confirmed by the S.C. Senate on February 28 after the DHEC Board chose her Gov. Nikki Haley approved her.

Seniors Lead Wabash To Secondby Brent Harris • February 20, 2010 Share:
Seniors Aaron Brock, Chase Haltom, and Rich Kavalauskas provided plenty of scoring Saturday afternoon to help Wabash close out the regular season with a 75-51 home win over Kenyon College. The victory wrapped up a second-place finish in the North Coast Athletic Conference for the Little Giants, the highest finish by a Wabash team since the school's first year in the league.
View photos from the Little Giants' victory here.
Brock (right) opened the game with three consecutive three-points to lift Wabash to a 9-7 lead over the visiting Lords. Haltom added a trey of his own, followed by another long-range shot from Brock to push the Little Giants in front 15-7. The duo added another five points to push the advantage to 12 points. Wabash would eventually move in front 35-19 with 2:34 left to play in the first half. The Little Giants scored the final eight points of the half, capping the period with a breakaway slam dunk by Brock just ahead of the buzzer after Haltom's steal ended up in the hands of Kavalauskas for the outlet assist.
Kavalauskas made the most of his first start of the season, hitting both shot attempts in addition to handing out three assists to go with two rebounds, a block, and a steal in 16 minutes of action.
"We wanted to keep the ball moving against Kenyon's zone," Kavalauskas said. "We made an adjustment at halftime, getting the ball into the high post. That allowed us to take advantage of what Kenyon was presenting us."
The Little Giants took advantage repeatedly, recording a season-high 22 assists --- tying for the third-most in a single game by a Wabash team. Wabash also took good care of the basketball throughout the contest, playing the entire first half without a turnover and finishing the game with a total of six.
"Getting off to a good start was important," Haltom (left) said. "We knew Kenyon would play a zone, so having Brock come out and hit those first three shots really helped open up the rest of our offense. We knew all along we needed to be playing our best basketball at the end of the year. We had a chance to beat Wooster at home and came up short, then picked up two huge road wins at Ohio Wesleyan and Wittenberg. Then we showed we could follow up those big wins with another today against Kenyon to grab that second seed in the tournament. Now we have to be ready to do it all over again Tuesday against Denison."
"I think we were more focused today than we have been in previous games coming out of the locker room," Brock added. "We came out and hit a lot of early shots and carried that throughout the entire game. It's been great playing with Rich (below right) and Chase the past four seasons. Even more importantly, we're friends off the court. We enjoy being around one another. It's been special to go through this run with these guys. Hopefully we'll have a great ending to our careers this year."
Brock led Wabash in scoring with 21 points, shooting 8-of-12 from the field and 5-of-9 from beyond the three-point arc. He also grabbed seven boards and had a blocked shot. Wes Smith was content early to draw the Kenyon defense and find the open Wabash player, picking up three of his four assists on Brock's first three treys. Smith went on to score 12 points with six rebounds, a block, and a steal in 28 minutes on the floor.
Haltom finished with nine points. Andrew Gilman came off the bench to tally eight points, two assists, and two steals.
Kenyon was led by Josh Bloom's 12 points off the bench. The Lords (6-18, 3-13) will travel to top-seeded Wooster for the opening round of the NCAC Men's Basketball Tournament Tuesday evening as the number eight seed.
Wabash ends the regular season with a 17-7 record and a 12-4 mark in NCAC play. The last time a Little Giant team finished second in the NCAC regular season standings was at the end of the 1999-2000 campaign with a 13-3 league record. Wabash will play host to seventh-seeded Denison (7-18, 7-9 NCAC) at 7:30 p.m. on Tuesday evening to open conference tournament play.

The current implementation of the PACI Screen in the Parallels Business Automation Enterprise Online Store shows the "Custom" screen as the default screen, while resource sliders are set to values which are defined as per the last loaded set from the activation parameter c2u.ve..default_configuration.
By default, there are three typical configurations available: Basic, Power, and Mega. When the PACI Screen is loaded, the sliders are set to values of a configuration named "Mega."
In order to change the default sliders position displayed on first PACI Screen Load, it is necessary to either add a new configuration to the activation parameters, or to change the last standard configuration.
In the below example, a new resource configuration preset called "Optimal" is added, which will set default values for sliders in the Online Store.
1) Go to POA Provider's CP
Top > Service Director > Provisioning Manager > Resource Types
and click the "CI Free Linux VE" resource type.
2) Switch to the Activation Parameters tab and click Edit.
3) Insert the new parameters set to the Default VE Configuration field. The resulting value will look like the following (the highlighted part was added to the default value):
Here, we added a new parameters set:
4) Save changes, and switch to Billing.
5) In Parallels Business Automation Enterprise Provider's CP
Top > Product Director > Online Store Manager
click "Synchronization Settings"
6) Synchronize the store.
Now, when you load the PACI Screen in the online store, the default configuration called "Custom" is opened and sliders are set to the values defined in the "Optimal" configuration:
NOTE: If you do not want to add a new configuration, you may modify an existing one, e.g., "Mega," and re-order the configurations so that the last one is displayed as "Custom."

Going on a trip? Take these tips with you!
If I need help outside Europe but my country has no embassy or consulate there, what do I do?
Go to any other EU Member State's consulate or embassy to ask for help, if for example you are arrested, have a serious accident or lose important documents. You also have the right to assistance in crisis situations, for example if you need to be evacuated.
You can find out if your country is represented at your destination on the European Commission's consular protection website.
What should I do if I get lost?
Call 116 000 for help. Try to find a police officer.
If you are travelling with a younger sibling make sure you always have a "go-to spot" in case you lose each other. Teach your siblings that if they get lost, they are to look for a police officer. If they don't see a police officer, they should approach another mum with a child and tell her that they are lost. If they are near a telephone they should know that they can also call 116 000 and someone will come to help them. When you notice they are missing go to the last place you saw them or to a place where they might think to go.
If I have problems with an airline, a car rental company or a tour operator, who can help me?
Before travelling look for information on how to claim your rights in airports, ports, bus and train stations across Europe, or download the app for your smartphone.
Which specific provisions apply if I am a disabled traveller?
You can check the specific information for travelling by air or by train. If you are travelling by car and entitled to use disabled parking facilities in your home country, the EU standard model for disabled parking cards allows you use parking facilities granted to the disabled in other EU countries too.
What do I need to know if I want to take my pet with me on holiday in the EU?
A valid anti-rabies vaccination must be entered into your pet passport and if you travel to Ireland, Finland, Malta or the UK your pet will also need to undergo anti-parasite treatment. These rules are only applicable to dogs, cats and ferrets. For young dogs or cats or any other types of pets, you should check with the competent authorities of the EU country that you are planning to visit.
If you are coming back home from outside the EU, along with the pet passport and the anti-rabies vaccination, your pet might need to undergo tests and wait for three months before entering the EU.
If you are a resident of Andorra, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Monaco, Norway, San Marino, Switzerland or the Vatican City State holding a pet passport for your pet you are entitled to travel with your pet within the EU.
For more information read about the movement of pets.
Can I bring back some meat or cheese from my holidays abroad?
You can transport animal products between countries inside the EU as well as Andorra, Liechtenstein, Norway, San Marino and Switzerland.
However, if you are returning home from most countries outside the EU, it is illegal to bring back any meat or dairy products.
For more information on these rules, check out the travel Europa website!
I had problems shopping abroad. Who can I contact when I'm back home?
If you live in the EU, Norway or Iceland, and you bought goods or services from traders based in these countries, you can get free of charge assistance when back home! Contact the European Consumer Centre (ECC) in your country.
The shoes I bought abroad were broken after one week; what do I do?
No matter where you shop within the EU, you have basic consumer rights that cannot be taken away. With the 2-year guarantee the seller must repair or replace faulty goods free of charge. If that is not possible within reasonable time or without inconvenience, you may ask for a refund or a price reduction.
What happens if I need to see a doctor abroad?
If you are travelling to an EU country, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway or Switzerland, don't forget to take your European Health Insurance Card (EHIC) with you! The card will help you save time, hassle and money if you fall ill or suffer an injury while abroad. This free card guarantees you have access to urgent treatment under the same conditions and at the same cost as people insured in the country you are visiting.

I'm looking for some thoughts and opinions on studying ID in Vancouver, Canada. I have been accepted into programs at both Emily Carr and Kwantlen, but am still trying to decide. Emily Carr has a reputation of being more 'artsy' and has a generalized foundations first year. Kwantlen is within a design school as part of a polytechnic university and appears to be more practical. I have been looking at course calendars and doing research but there is not a lot out there on Kwantlen as their product design program is only four years old. I'm not sure if that matters or what the reputation of either school is like within the industry. Does anyone have any thoughts about the two programs or have any advice? Thanks

Rangers shut out by Kershaw, Dodgers
SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) — Even after three shutout innings, Clayton Kershaw still felt he had room for improvement on Friday.
Kershaw allowed three hits and a walk in three innings in his spring debut and the Los Angeles Dodgers shut out the Texas Rangers 9-0.
"You've got to see if you remember how to do it," Kershaw said. "The first time back I just wanted to work on my fastball command and then my secondary stuff. It starts with the fastball and then you add stuff as you go."
Kershaw, last year's NL Cy Young Award winner, went 21-5 with a 2.28 ERA in 2011.
"Once the season starts, all that other stuff is awesome but it's not important," Kershaw said. "You have to do a good job of getting your work done before everything else."
After throwing 28 of his 42 pitches for strikes, Kershaw went to the bullpen to work on a changeup he said was "terrible."
In the sixth inning, Rangers right fielder Conor Jackson lost a fly ball in the sun. The ball bounced off his glove and then his forehead as Josh Fields raced around for a triple. Jackson received five stitches above his left eye and will continue to be evaluated.
Shortstop Dee Gordon said Kershaw looked "great, as always. He's incredible to play behind. When he's pitching, you know you're going to get a lot of ground balls so you've got to be ready."
Kershaw received offensive support from Matt Kemp, who homered to lead off the third, and Andre Ethier who had an RBI single in the first, tripled in the third and scored on Jerry Sands' single.
Kershaw also caught a hard line drive off the bat of Adrian Beltre just above the mound to end the first inning.
"I just closed my eyes, stuck my glove out and I got lucky," Kershaw said.
Juan Rivera and Alex Castellanos also homered for the Dodgers.
Rangers starter Martin Perez, allowed two runs and three hits and three walks in his two-inning spring debut.
"He got behind in the count," Rangers manager Ron Washington said. "You can't get behind in the count and hope to get NL hitters out. They love the fastball there."
The Dodgers finished with 16 hits off seven Rangers pitchers.
"We only threw 129 pitches in this game," Washington said, "it's just what we threw across the plate, the Dodgers didn't miss."
NOTES: Dodgers RHP Kenley Jansen was cleared Friday for baseball activities after experiencing heart palpitations on Thursday night. Jansen, who as a rookie struck out 96 batters in 53 2/3 innings, was hospitalized last July with an irregular heartbeat and spent three weeks on the disabled list. … Michael Young returned to the Texas lineup after missing Thursday's game with a slight left thumb sprain.

Bulletin 6, released on March 17, 2017, updates China's rules on special tax investigations, special tax adjustments and mutual agreement procedures. When it becomes effective on May 1, 2017, it will supersede the corresponding provisions under the existing transfer pricing regulations, Guo Shui Fa [2009] No. 2 (Circular 2). According to the SAT, the purpose of Bulletin 6 is to amend and improve existing rules on special tax investigations, special tax adjustments and mutual agreement procedures in line with the general principle of "aligning transfer pricing outcomes with value creation" advocated by G20/OECD in the Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (BEPS) Action Plan. SAT also expects to strengthen the monitoring of taxpayers' profit levels and to improve taxpayers' compliance through implementation of Bulletin 6, as well as the inter-company transaction reporting and contemporaneous documentation requirements under the Public Notice [2016] No. 42 (Bulletin 42). Key features Bulletin 6 contains many significant provisions that are expected to impact how multinationals implement their transfer pricing policies and practices in respect of subsidiaries in China. In particular, Bulletin 6 contains far-reaching measures to: Encourage self-review and voluntary adjustment by taxpayers: As well as empowering local tax authorities to identify taxpayers with special tax adjustment issues, it also encourages taxpayers to conduct voluntary adjustments, either upon receipt of notification from the tax authorities or by way of a self-review. Expand the scope of taxpayers with high-risk features for special tax investigations: In addition to taxpayers with long-term losses, consistently low profits, highly volatile profits and/or other usual transfer pricing risk features, the Bulletin also identifies as high-risk taxpayers those that (i) earn a profit below their industry average; (ii) engage in inter-company transactions with affiliates located in low-tax countries/region; or (iii) earn a profit which is not commensurate with their business risks and functions. Clarify the special tax investigation procedures and burden of proof: Bulletin 6 sets out the rights and obligations of the investigated taxpayer and reinforces the burden of proof on the investigated taxpayer. Taxpayers are obligated to provide relevant overseas information with indication of source, and also may be required to notarize the overseas information. At the same time, tax authorities are guided on what to require and how to collect, review and document paper, electronic or verbal evidence provided by the investigated taxpayer. Revise guidelines on comparable analysis: Cost savings and market premiums are identified as two special geographic factors to be evaluated in comparability analysis in China, in line with Actions 8 through 10 of the G20/OECD BEPS Action Plan. Revise guidelines on use of transfer pricing methods: The Bulletin introduces the valuation method for intangibles adopted in Action 8 of the G20/OECD as an additional transfer pricing method in China. Under this new method, intangibles can be valued based on market price, replacement cost and projected revenue. Include guidelines on assessment of intangible-related inter-company transactions: The new guidelines require proper allocation of intangible related returns based on each parties' contributions to the development, enhancement, maintenance, protection, exploitation and promotion of intangibles (DEMPEP functions). Strengthen administration on inter-company services: Tax authorities may disallow the deduction of services fees related to six types of "Non-Beneficial Services". Such services include duplicated services, shareholder activities, services that provide benefits to the Chinese subsidiary only through "passive association", services with overlapped compensation, services that are irrelevant to the recipient's business activities, and services that are not directly beneficial or would not have been purchased in an uncontrolled business environment. Clarify principles for working capital adjustment: The Bulletin limits the application of a working capital adjustment so that it can be applied only to assess the arm's length return of a toll processing service provider, subject to certain conditions. If the working capital adjustment results in a change to the profit level of over 10 percent, reselection of comparable companies is required. Clarify expectation on profit level of single-function entities: Single-function entities that only provide contract R&D or contract manufacturing services should not bear any market risks and should earn a stable and reasonable profit level. If a single-function entity suffers losses derived from mismanagement, underutilization of capacity, poor sales or R&D failure, tax authorities may deny such losses and impose a special tax adjustment. Clarify and standardize mutual agreement procedure: Bulletin 6 outlines a specific mutual agreement procedure, and clarifies the rights and obligations of tax authorities at different levels in the procedure. It also emphasized that the tax authorities may reject a taxpayer's application or terminate a mutual agreement procedure, if the taxpayer fails to provide relevant and necessary information required by the tax authorities. Comments Bulletin 6 signals a renewed focus by SAT on transfer pricing policies and practices in China. Given that the new rules will become effective from May 1, 2017, it is expected that they will be applied by the local tax authorities in their review of taxpayers' 2016 transfer pricing documentation, as well as in the future. The rules may also be used in any on-going special tax investigations. Taxpayers are recommended to prepare their 2016 documentation and recalibrate their transfer pricing practices with reference to the Bulletin. The new rules confirm many practical elements that taxpayers have had to address for many years, such as the concept of location savings and market premiums. Interestingly, while the new rules generally confirm that tax authorities should give priority to public data in comparability analysis, they may also use comparables that are not publicly available. Exactly what priority should be given to public data has not been clarified, and this aspect is likely to continue as a practical issue to be explored on a case by case basis. With regard to intangibles, the Bulletin brings Chinese guidelines broadly in line with OECD principles. However, there are some noteworthy differences. In contrast with the DEMPE functions under the G20/OECD BEPS Action Plan, the Bulletin adopts DEMPEP functions as the benchmark and includes "intangible promotion" as a significant function separately (rather than including it as a part of the exploitation function). In this context, the Bulletin does highlight, in line with OECD guidelines, some principles for inter-company intangible transfers and licensing arrangements. Under the new rules, intangible related returns shall not be allocated to an entity that merely holds legal ownership of intangibles without any contribution to the value of the intangibles. Furthermore, an entity that only provides funding for the development of intangibles shall only be entitled to a return commensurate to its funding risks/costs. Regarding inter-company royalty payments, the new rules require taxpayers to monitor and implement adjustments when the value of the underlying intangibles being licensed has changed substantially, when the related parties' functions, risks and asset profiles have become different, or when an entity's DEMPEP functions have been considered in the royalty payments. Finally, the Bulletin also clarifies the application of profit split method by stating that "profit allocation among related parties may be carried out based on each party's value contributions, with due consideration to the factual circumstances and value contribution factors such as revenue, costs, expenses, assets and employee headcounts, when comparable information is difficult to obtain and when the consolidated profit derived from the inter-company transaction can be reasonably determined." The new guidelines in the Bulletin appear to be inconsistent with current OECD thinking on the circumstances where it is appropriate to adopt the profit split methodology. In particular, the OECD have so far resisted the use of this methodology as a default method when comparable information is difficult to obtain. Find out more about the new rules by contacting Daniel Chan or Windson Li.

Black, fire-ravaged mountains blight the skyline south of our Utah home, owing to a careless, man-made brush fire that extends over 5,000 acres this past week. Mr. Myrt and I were under a forced evacuation order, taking shelter with one of my daughters in the next county.
|Source: KSL.com
Mr. Myrt packed everything of value -- family photos, two circa 1850s bibles, and other items in the Ford F150. He remembered medication, computers, iPads and such with his usual efficiency, all whilst I was herding seven busy grandchildren some 3 hours to the north. Once outside the police barricade, Gordon took this pic. Our home is just out of range to the right in his picture below.
Winds carried the smoke and soot at least as Sue Maxwell's house some 35 miles to the north.
Advice on our return to the home yesterday was "don't unpack or settle in" but await further announcements. Anxious eyes check and recheck those mountains, awaiting the day the fire is completely contained. From time to time a "hot spot" breaks forth sending forth billows of smoke to be carried by our higher than normal winds directly into our homes and businesses.
Today things started out quieter, but this afternoon the wind has picked up considerably and smoke is once again beginning to show up about two ridges south of us. Air quality in our homes is less than desirable, but we're managing.
I cannot tell you how timely our "week of genealogy scanning" has become. Carrie joins me late tonight so we will have a fresh start in the morning. She and the kids will stay a week, as we plow through the notebooks using three scanners and a digital camera. Wish I could just ship everything off to Ancestry.com across the lake. (sigh)
Don't wait for the next man-made or natural disaster in your area to decide to get those photos and documents scanned. Do it now! Ol' Myrt here got a reprieve, but some folks haven't been as fortunate.
And yes, I am putting everything in Dropbox.
Happy family tree climbing!
Myrt :)

Here are highlights from Friday's Analyst Blog:
Should "Too Big to Fail" Banks Be Carved Up?
Richard Fisher has once again sounded a familiar clarion call: "Too big to fail" cannot be a principle the US financial system continues to abide by.
Speaking at the National Press Club in Washington on Wednesday, the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas President said the Dodd-Frank legislation had done little to alleviate several of the issues that confront the financial system. He went on to add that if anything, the law had made things even worse.
The current scheme of things is such that in the absence of a bailout we would be faced with the collapse of the financial system as we know it. He went on to emphasize the need to split banking behemoths into smaller units.
Bank concentration has increased significantly over the years, particularly from 1970 to 2010. But what is of particular interest is how sector concentration has changed after the financial crisis. According to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, the leading 100 banks in the US had an 84% market share. By the third quarter of 2012, concentration had increased further. The top 82 banks now had an 88% market share. Given this situation, if another banking crisis occurs, the impact would be clearly larger.
Further, Dallas Fed data also shows that Lehman Brothers, which had to face bankruptcy following the crisis, was a small player compared to JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE: JPM), Bank of America Corporation (NYSE: BAC), The Goldman Sachs Group, Inc. (NYSE: GS), Citigroup, Inc. (NYSE: C), etc. This conclusion is based on an analysis of non-deposit liabilities, subsidiaries and number of countries of operation. In fact, Lehman didn't even figure in the top ten.
Fisher's call to split up the megabanks seems to have found support in the actions of Germany's financial markets regulator. The regulator has asked Deutsche Bank to undertake a simulation exercise which would examine a scenario where it splits up its securities and retail business.
However, this proposal, named after Erkki Liikanen, Governor of the Bank of Finland, would go on to raise costs for clients, says Deutsche Bank AG (NYSE: DB) co-CEO Anshu Jain. Therefore, he says, it should only be implemented if all banks worldwide have no choice but to comply with such regulations.
Speaking at a panel discussion in Koenigstein, near Frankfurt, Jain and JPMorgan's CEO Jamie Dimon said banks and regulators should work on creating a system where in the event of a crisis, large banks can close down without damage to the public. These closures should also happen without the costs associated with the large bailouts which occurred after 2008's financial crisis.
Dimon added that banks as large as JPMorgan can be shut down without harming taxpayers. But such a process would require regulators across countries to work together closely because of the global nature of these bank's operations. He also said new capital and liquidity requirements collectively known as Basel III will further strengthen the banking system.
Fisher wishes to address the situation by clearly defining where safety nets for the banking system should end. He argues that only commercial banks would have access to deposit insurance provided by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) and discount window loans provided by the Federal Reserve.
This would in turn be reinforced by a new disclosure statement that declares the unprotected status of participants not protected by the safety net. This includes customers, creditors and other interested parties.
Jain and Dimon still argue against splitting up larger banks. Clearly, they offer a wide basket of services which greatly benefit the economy. They also continuously point to the greater costs this would entail to clients. Splitting up a megabank, therefore, may not be the magic wand for the financial system's problems. Strengthening the regulatory framework and ensuring more effective implementation may be a more practicable solution.

I have also confirmed that the script runs from the crontab entry, but there is one line in the script that doesn't work, where I use mutt to send me a notification.
The script still works but the following command doesn't
- Code: Select all
mutt -s "Alert about the website" -a log/$LOGFILE.txt temp/index.html -- firstname.lastname@example.com < message.txt
I've also tried adding the output of
- Code: Select all
echo $PATH
- Code: Select all
to the top of the cron file when I edit it with
- Code: Select all
crontab -e
but get:
- Code: Select all
errors in crontab file, can't install.
Do you want to retry the same edit? (y/n)
Basically I'm writing a script that will alert me of any changes on one of our sites using curl, diff and mutt.

Over 200 hundred years ago, the United States declared its independence and became its own sovereign nation. Often celebrated in America with BBQs and fireworks, the universal color scheme for any gathering today includes red, white and blue. We thought we'd celebrate the 4th of July here at Arkive… but with our own wildlife twist!
Check out our favorite red, white and blue wildlife mascots for Independence Day this year!
RED – North Pacific giant octopus
We could actually put the North Pacific giant octopus under the red and the white category since the species contains special pigment cells in the skin called chromatophores that, when activated, cause the octopus mantle to change colors from red to white. True to its name, the North Pacific giant octopus is the largest of all octopus species and can be found off the entire Pacific coast of the US.
White – Polar bear
The most well-known of all bears, the polar bear is immediately recognisable from the distinctive white colour of its thick fur. Did you know that the only unfurred parts of the body are the foot pads and the tip of its nose? The largest land carnivore, the polar bear calls the snowy habitat of Alaska home.
Blue – Blue whale
Despite its common name, the blue whale is actually grayish-blue and can even have a yellowish tinge caused by microscopic algae called 'diatoms'. The blue whale is found in every ocean in the world except the Arctic!
Can you name some other North American RED, WHITE and BLUE animals? Feel free to name some in the comments section and take a look to see if you can find them in the Arkive website.
From Arkive, we hope you have a happy and safe 4th of July!

We knew Deval Patrick wanted to raise more taxes to pay for the bold, progressive vision he has for Massachusetts.
We knew Deval Patrick wanted to raise more taxes to pay for the bold, progressive vision he has for Massachusetts.
We also know that no matter how appropriate the plan, how necessary the spending, the task of increasing taxes is never easy.
Patrick's arguments for new spending are solid, but the impact of higher taxes on households, particularly middle- to lower-income households, could be a lot for families to handle: a gas tax tied to inflation, new taxes on candy and soft drinks, expansion of the bottle bill to water and sports drinks. These will hit those with lower incomes more significantly. Patrick has proposed these tax generators previously, and a doubling of the personal income tax exemption and other devices this time around are calculated to minimize the regressive nature of these taxes.
But there is no guarantee on the outcome of even the best laid plans. The Legislature's duty to work with the governor could be as big a challenge as any in recent memory. Patrick's budget hinges on many interlocking parts to deliver the desired outcome. Changes will have an impact on other parts of the budget, so the going will — and to some degree, should — be slow.
Watchdogs and stakeholders alike must be involved in the process, ready to ensure that constituencies receiving shorter shrift in the budget — AARP offers early criticism about challenges to housing affecting as many as 1,000 Massachusetts seniors — aren't left behind in new "doughnut holes," or ignored altogether.
The reason for higher taxes — which Patrick's office told Standard-Times reporter Steve DeCosta will be the reality for individuals earning $50,000 or more and families earning $60,000 or more per year — is the need to make sure Massachusetts is competitive today and for subsequent generations.
He has said this plan didn't come from Beacon Hill bull sessions, but reflects the will of the people of the commonwealth. We have to believe that a majority of Bay State residents and business owners are indeed in agreement that education from birth through college deserves investment and support to keep up with the world's students, not just those in the other 49 states. Likewise, our transportation systems need proper maintenance and improvement to support a modern economy.
Future generations will have different priorities. Commerce, technology and society will change, so both revenue collection and public spending will have to, as well. We can cross that bridge when we come to it ... as long as we can build them to be safe today and they get us where we want to go tomorrow.

My first lager ( last January ) was a Munich Helles and I got a silver at NHC. Your results may vary (i.e. Gold ).Temp control, big yeast pitch, O2, and time/patience. I also use a method that I heard from Jamil Zainasheff about letting the wort sit overnight at fermentation temp, transferring to another vessel, hitting it with O2 and pitch the yeast. I was amazed at how much break material formed just overnight in the first carboy. It is now a method I use with all my lagers. I pitch cold ( 44 F ) and let it free rise to 50 F and hold it there. Good luck!
Thanks for all the advice. Feel like I'm really gaining some valuable knowledge
Big +1 to jamils method. Made my first lager (ok fest) and it turned out GREAT. Clean and malty.
