In the current issue of our Newsletter we review the major amendments to Act C of 2000 on Accounting (hereinafter: the "Act on Accounting") promulgated on 15 June 2016, along with any related issues. The majority of the amendments will come into force from the beginning of FY 2017, but they may already cover financial years beginning as of January 2016. In the sections below, if the date of coming into force of any legislation differs from the above, this is indicated separately.
According to the amendment of the Act on Accounting, and for the purposes of accounting, subsequent modifications of business transaction features to be entered into the accounting records and relating to a closed financial year or years – as documented by a contract amendment or modified accounting documentation – shall no longer be considered errors or impacts thereof, but should be accounted for as errors. Unfortunately, this also means that if the error is significant, the preparation of so-called "three-column financial statements" cannot be avoided. [Section 3 (3) 2 of the Act on Accounting]
According to the new rule, upon the distribution of after-tax profit, the amount of the dividend that would be allocated to the member of the limited liability company who records an unpaid cash contribution, shall be recognised as a decrease in retained earnings, i.e. as an amount transferred to top up registered capital not yet paid. This rule reflects the requirements of the Civil Code. [Section 37 (2) h) of the Act on Accounting, Sections 3:162 (1), 3:185 (1) of the Civil Code]
Any financial settlement made by the balance sheet preparation date is not a prerequisite for the recognition as other income of grants and benefits received to offset costs (expenses), if, based on the grant contract, the requested financial settlement of the grant submitted by the entity has been approved by the grantor by the balance sheet preparation date. [Section 77 (2) of the Act on Accounting]
The amendment makes it clear that in the case of the capitalised costs of completed experimental development and formation and reorganisation, the maximum 5-year ordinary amortisation period, and in the case of goodwill – as long as the asset's useful life cannot be estimated - the minimum 5-year and maximum 10-year ordinary amortisation period defined in the Act on Accounting shall be applied mandatorily; i.e. this is not just an option. [Section 52 (4) of the Act on Accounting]
The amendment makes it clear that expenses derived from uncollectable or forgiven debts related to purchased receivables and long-term loans granted have to be accounted for under profit or loss on financial transactions. Such types of expense have to be recognised under the expenses on investments if they relate to investments, or under other expenses on financial transactions if they relate to current assets. Expenses recognised under current assets, which are derived from uncollectable and forgiven debts related to receivables that do not qualify as purchased receivables, shall be accounted for under other expenses. [Sections 81 (2) l), (3) b), 85 (1a), b), (3) m), v) of the Act on Accounting]
Wage contributions do not now have to be disclosed as analysed by staff group in the supplementary notes, but are now analysed by legal title. [Section 91 a) of the Act on Accounting]
The amendment has harmonised the references included in the requirements of the Act on Accounting and the descriptions of the line items of the balance sheet and the income statement templates included in the Schedules to the Act. [Schedules 1, 2 to the Act on Accounting]
The content of the corporate governance declaration is expanded to now include information on diversity.
A new requirement is that an enterprise qualifying as a public interest entity above a certain size must disclose a "non-financial statement" in its business report.
These requirements are applicable from financial years beginning in 2017; earlier adoption is not permitted. [Sections 95/B (2) h), 95/C, 134 (5)-(6), 156 (5) of the Act on Accounting]

|[jira] [Created] (FLEX-33266) Make it easy for developers to do a targetted Mustella test run that doesnt take hours
|Sat, 17 Nov 2012 20:50:11 GMT
OmPrakash Muppirala created FLEX-33266: ------------------------------------------ Summary: Make it easy for developers to do a targetted Mustella test run that doesnt take hours Key: FLEX-33266 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLEX-33266 Project: Apache Flex Issue Type: Improvement Components: Mustella Affects Versions: Apache Flex 4.8 (parity release) Reporter: OmPrakash Muppirala Assignee: OmPrakash Muppirala Fix For: Adobe Flex SDK Next MustellaDependencyDB and MustellaTestChooser provides a very good solution for selecting tests to be run based on the changes a developer makes. It would be nice to create a tool that automates the rest of the steps as well. Here is the proposed tool and its requirements: An AIR app that takes the following inputs 1. Directory location of Apache Flex SDK 2. Directory location of svn.exe (windows) 3. Directory location of a bash shell ex. cygwin or git bash (windows) Once the developer is done with the changes, they launch the app and on the click of a button, the following happens: 1. A nativeprocess invokes svn to get the changes in the Apache Flex SDK directory (via svn status | grep '^M' ) 2. It will write out a file that mini_run.sh looks for with the list of test files to run. (MustellaTestChooser does this already) 3. A nativeprocess is invoked to open the bash shell and run "mini_run.sh -changes" 4. The results of the run is displayed in a log console in the app. Bonus: Show a side by side comparison of the baseline bitmaps with the result bitmaps. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. --A pair of 400-pound gorillas escaped their habitat at a Kansas City zoo on Sunday.
They escaped from their habitat after a doorway separating their holding area from the keepers' area was left unlatched.
The zoo keepers climbed a retaining wall to get to safety.
Meanwhile, zoo visitors were hustled into a safe area.
In the end, no one was hurt and the gorillas were herded back into their enclosure after about four hours.

Discussion in 'BlackHat Lounge' started by SeoNuuby, Oct 28, 2012.
Do you guys pay tax ? How much % of your income goes towards tax.
I'm sure one day I'll get a letter from the RCA. Unfortunately the person they'll be writing to doesn't exist. For now, not paying any tax and not claiming any benefit from government either. Most cashflow comes from foreign countries anyway so I am not caring too much. And there is always bitcoin.
Anyone with a brain pays taxes. And no, I'm not telling you how much I pay.
Of course no one here pay taxes, we all want to go to jail for tax evasion.. isn't that obvious?
I dont pay yet, but i have when my incomes grow, and its 25% which sucks, will figure out something to bypass it. Pay 25% to country for nothing? Hell no its 1/4 of income. 2500 from 10k income.
Some things in life certainly blow, but taxes are required.
Use the high taxation percentage to motivate you to make more. Sure, you'll always have to pay more if you earn more, but in the end, you're still netting much more.
Ahhh hells no..I do my taxes and stay out of trouble but then again i havent done my taxes for the past 3yrs so got to check that out..LOL
It'd be pretty stupid to admit on a public board that you dabble in tax evasion.
If you make big money, enough that there actually is something worthwhile for the tax "authority" wants a cut, you just do what anyone else with $$$ who wants to avoid that stuff does - you register a company in Cayman Islands (, etc.) and hire a tax law firm to ensure you legally pay no tax.
I am not living in any of tax-haven nations and
has to pay taxes out of hard-earned money!!!!!!!!!!
this tax money could be used to upscale my money income, if i have offline business or company yeah i would pay, but i make money offline and my country dont do shit to help me get that money, they just stay on side and gets my hard worked money
Its almost like you go on street and give 25% of your money to stranger.
People saying that they pay taxes "for nothing" should remember this clever statement the next time there's a fire but oops there no FD around, since you avoided to pay taxes for "nothing"... What about a riot in the neighborhood or your apartment gets robbed? No police to complain to: they use to drink and eat like everybody else, but you were too smart to pay taxes, right? And, if you're living basically anywhere a part from the US, next time you need to go to the hospital, hope you'll enjoy a big fat fee or a killing monthly insurance policy recurring, since, you know, you pay taxes for "nothing"... Oh and now let's wait for some rhetorical speech to appease you conscience... BTW earning online doesn't mean being a fucking thug, just saying...
Sure, because one needs to feel good when he gives away 50% of his income to random strangers and bad when he doesn't
Of course, 1% of that money comes back to you in the form of services you don't pay for at the counter. Let me take a note to be happy about it
Oh - I pay all my legal taxes. Hi IRS!
Yes i pay taxes, but what i pay is unrelevant for others to know
Wrong smart people dont pay taxes.Answer like if you dont pay taxes than there wont be roads,fire dept,police etc is just bullshit.Take a look at the infrastructur of germany which is just awesome free or almost free medecine,free hospital,free social money etc and economist counted that people would just need to pay 10% taxes instead of the 43% to hold the level.So what is happening with the rest of the 33% ?Its going to the military complex,pharma complex and most of it goes for interrests out of debt which the government has.Remember money is being created out of debt which means there is always a benefit for that debt.How many debt does the USA have ?So how much of your money goes for just paying the interrests of the debt ?Ohhh your taxes arent even enough for the interrests anymore but thats another story.
US constitution cleary says that its ilegal to tax US citizens directly.Its only allowed to tax companies,however the government and IRS use a trick to bypass this law using acts but i guess thats not allowed talking here cause this goes into politics.However there are also legal ways to not pay taxes to the IRS.You just need to observe the elite and you will see the structure they are using.One of them are foundations.Most people have a wrong understanding of foundations thanks to movies and news but if you look closely the richest people on the world do not own companies but foundations which owns companies or share of companies and they are only the administrativ.If has a lot of benefits and its still like you own it directly cause you can do whatever you want to but its no more registered on you or your strawman but as a legal person.
Its quite a bit difficult to understand cause the elite is using laws which they do not want you to understand but investing time in this topic will save your a lot of money and make life easier.
Don't pay because in my country don't need...
No. What's Tax?
Forced Tax Yes: In the form of GST and others which come built-in with bills and stuff.
I pay numerous taxes, depending on where the income is coming from.
- Capital gains taxes on my stocks
- Income tax on my income property earnings
- Income tax on certain online earnings that aren't sent to my company
- Sales tax whenever I buy anything
Pay just 0$
Separate names with a comma.

The IBM-Apple partnership resonates with Roxanne Reynolds-Lair, CIO at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in Los Angeles. Connecting Apple's mobile platform with IBM's backend data is something she can use.
The fashion institute is an enterprise IBM user, but the students mostly use iOS. "Apple is by far still number one, by a long ways, with our student body," she said.
Reynolds-Lair said the agreement will "make dealing with Apple easier from an enterprise standpoint," as well as developing apps for its devices. Right now, the institute has to custom develop apps and push them out, she said.
"Apple is great at user-friendly design," said Reynolds-Lair. "IBM is great at enterprise and corporate and neither is necessarily great at the opposite, so I think it is a very complementary relationship."
But there are also questions from users and analysts, and no certainty the IBM-Apple partnership will succeed.
The hope is that Apple's collaboration with IBM will lead to mobile apps using back-end business services that are "as nicely designed and as compelling to use as your consumer apps are," said Daryl Plummer, an analyst at Gartner.
But Plummer tempers down some of the hype, such as the assumed belief that Siri, Apple's voice personal assistant, will play a role. Neither Apple nor IBM has said anything about using voice recognition capabilities in the mobile apps, said Plummer. However, "if they don't do that they just took a big swing and a miss," he added.
While the agreement cements the iPhone as an enterprise tool, "a lot people will say that IBM won't support other mobile devices – not true," said Plummer. IBM "will continue to commit to delivering back end services to Android and Windows phones, but you know how people are, they will see this announcement as a statement of exclusive support."
Plummer isn't assuming this partnership will succeed, and puts the probability that Apple and IBM might do this right at "50-50." He'll know better once the first apps developed under the arrangement are released this spring.
Justin Porter, who heads IT consulting firm, First Technology Services and is on the board of directors of Common, an IBM Power systems user group, sees positives and possibilities in this agreement, but also has questions.
If IBM and Apple are talking about adding new cloud services that augment existing systems, "that doesn't necessarily simplify anything for me," said Porter, "It just means I have another moving part."
But, says Porter, if IBM and Apple are building a mobile platform that integrates directly with existing business system, that would be valuable. "I would assume that to some degree is the aim."
Porter has other questions, which don't have immediate answers, such as: How will these apps will be priced, and will they help small businesses as well as large ones?
Vendor lock-in may be another issue for users. IT managers in IBM shops could make decisions to focus on iOS and the IBM development platform.
Reynolds-Lair said vendor lock-in has become more difficult for vendors in an era when users can rally through social media. "I think both IBM and Apple would listen," she said.
Apps will be built by IBM as well enterprise developers. At first, it will be IBM, which plans to build 100-plus apps for business verticals, with seven starting this spring.
But enterprise developers, as well as third party developers using IBM's BlueMix, a cloud-based platform as a service (PaaS) that allows developers to build Java apps that can talk to a mobile device, will be able to build more products, said Plummer.
Frank Gens, an analyst at IDC, said agreement should strengthen IBM's ability to attract developers to its cloud platform, and position its PaaS as potentially the best developer service and support platform for iOS mobile integration. "This should help BlueMix grow its developer community," he said.
While IBM will hope for a services and software revenue boost from the arrangement with Apple, the move doesn't signal a shift from its hardware business.
Joe Clabby of Clabby Analytics, said IBM's recent down quarters in hardware revenue is not something he worries about. Unix may be in decline, but IBM has moved ahead with Linux support.
Its belief in its Power platform is illustrated by Watson, its artificial intelligence and cognitive platform, "and Watson only runs on Power," he said.
The idea that IBM may link up the Jeopardy-playing capabilities of Watson with Apple's flirty Siri is intriguing, but neither company has said whether that's a direction.
For now, IBM and Apple "are trying to leverage one another's relative strengths, but they are also attempting to compensate for own relative weaknesses," said Charles King of Pund-IT.

The Kimberley Dynamiters are staying positive despite failing to string wins together since sweeping the Fernie Ghostriders in this year's Christmas Classic.
The Nitros came out of the break hot, riding an eight game winning streak but have struggled in January, winning only three of their nine games.
Coach Derek Stuart says it's been a challenging month, but he likes what he's seen from his players recently.
The Nitros dropped 5-3 to the Fernie Ghostriders Thursday, squeaked by the Columbia Valley Rockies 6-5 Friday and lost a tight 4-3 to the Creston Valley Thunder Cats Saturday.
Stuart feels the first periods against the Riders and Rockies were terrible but other than that, he really likes how they played in all three match ups.
He believes his team outplayed Creston Saturday and deserved a better fate.
He thinks if the team can focus on their actions and fine tune a few mistakes, they'll be headed in the right direction and will be playoff ready.
He explains the team expects to put themselves in a position to have success adding the expectations need to be there, otherwise he's not sure what you would be playing for.
The Nitros are second, seven points back of the Cats, currently leading the Eddie Mountain Division.
They kick off their final five regular season games at home Friday against the Fernie Ghostriders.

SUNNYVALE (CBS SF) – Attorney General Kamala Harris urged Yahoo users to change passwords and to secure their accounts, saying at least six million California users may have had their personal information exposed in a massive hack.
Harris' office said compromised information may include passwords, names, dates of birth and phone numbers.
"Anyone who has ever had a Yahoo-related account, even if the account was created many years ago, should take steps to change passwords and security questions," the Attorney General's Office said in a written statement Thursday.
Officials provided the following tips:
- Do not use the same passwords over and over again.
- Change passwords periodically.
- Always use different passwords for different accounts.
- Passwords should be a minimum of eight characters, with letters, numbers and symbols mixed in.
- Never use information you post on social media as passwords, such as children's names, pet names, schools and favorite songs.
The Attorney General's office also suggested using a password manager to keep track of all passwords and to use two-factor authentication where available.
Last week, the Sunnyvale-based internet company confirmed hackers stole personal information from at least 500 million accounts. The hack is believed to be the largest breach involving an email provider.
The company has blamed the attack on a "state-sponsored actor" working on behalf of a foreign government.
Yahoo is currently in the midst of a $4.8 billion sale to Verizon. The deal is expected to close early next year.

Italian language instruction began at Clarendon in 1988 as an afternoon club. Since that time, it has continued to expand in scope. The program is now integrated into every classroom. Grades K – 2 have Italian three times a week, and grades 3 – 5 have Italian twice a week. Italian themes are included throughout the Second Community curriculum, including the art and music programs. The goal of the program is to have students graduate with a basic knowledge and exposure to a second language.
Our Italian program is paid for, in part, by a contribution from the Italian Consulate in San Francisco and the Italian Cultural Society of Sacramento.
Italian Curriculum Overview
The Italian Language Instruction curriculum was developed based on the "Foreign Language Content Standards for California Public Schools, Kindergarten through Twelve." Components of the curriculum include:
Language users address a wide variety of topics that are age and stage appropriate. As students develop their ability to communicate in the target language and culture, they are able to more fully address topics that expand in complexity from stage to stage on the Language Learning Continuum.
Real world communication occurs in a variety of ways. It may be interpersonal in which culturally appropriate listening, reading, viewing, speaking, signing and writing occur at a shared activity among language users. It may be interpretative in which language users listen, view, and read using knowledge of cultural products, practices, and perspectives. It may be presentational in which speaking, signing, and writing occur in culturally appropriate ways.
Culturally appropriate language use requires the understanding of the relationships between the products a culture produces, the practices that the culture manifests and the perspectives that underline them. Students must acquire the ability to interact appropriately with target culture bearers in order to communicate successfully. This category allows students to make connections and comparisons between languages and cultures.
The standards use the term structures to capture the multiple components of grammar that learners must control in order to successfully communicate in linguistically and culturally appropriate ways. Students need to acquire orthography, the writing systems in languages that have them; phonology, the sound system of language ; morphology, the rules for word formation; syntax, the principle of sentence structures; semantics, language -based meaning system; and pragmatics, meaning systems connected to language use.
Language users need to carry out tasks in a variety of situations representative of those they will experience in the target culture. The success of learner communication will be determined by the requirements of the situation in which the language is used.

Resort Heads for Bankruptcy
Owners of Viceroy Plan Deal That Would Transfer Caribbean Property to Real-Estate Mogul
The owners of the Viceroy resort on the Caribbean island of Anguilla are preparing to put the posh getaway into bankruptcy court in a deal that would hand the hotel suites and villas to real-estate mogul Barry Sternlicht's Starwood Capital, people familiar with the matter said.
The Viceroy, owned by a partnership of Viceroy Hotels & Resorts and Lubert-Adler Real Estate Funds, plans to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in Delaware as soon as Thursday, these people said. Starwood, the resort's largest secured creditor, would then aim to take over the Viceroy, which has hosted celebrities such as Paul McCartney, Ellen DeGeneres, John Mayer and Sandra Bullock.
The Viceroy's current owners got a $358 million mortgage from Citigroup Inc. C -1.57% in 2006 with a goal of attracting rich vacationers to luxurious amenities that included personal pools for each villa. The developers described it as an "exquisite rendition of the residential resort concept" on Anguilla.
But bad weather, labor difficulties and other construction problems caused the first part of the Viceroy to open more than a year behind schedule, in August 2009. The delay, in turn, allowed many villa buyers to refuse to close their purchases. Now, the developers have a completed resort valued at less than the debt owed on it.
Enter Mr. Sternlicht, who has a plan to save the Viceroy through a complex maneuver that straddles both U.S. and Anguillan law. The laws of 36-square-mile Anguilla won't allow Starwood, which purchased the Viceroy's mortgage at a steep discount in October, to foreclose on the resort. Instead, the 166-room Viceroy plans to file for bankruptcy protection and then ask a U.S. judge to approve an auction in Anguilla, which will be open to all comers.
Viceroy Hotels would continue to manage the resort under Starwood's ownership, the people said, though the current owners' investments would likely be wiped out.
A deal by Mr. Sternlicht would add to his recent distressed real-estate acquisition spree, including the purchase of construction lender Corus Bankshares and its string of properties in cities from Los Angeles to Miami. His goal in Anguilla: grab the finished getaway on the cheap and dot the resort with improvements such as a business-meeting center and an expanded spa.
The resort's current owners spent $550 million to finish the project, leaving only modest improvement chores for Mr. Sternlicht.
In all, the buyers, most of them from the U.S., put down some $50 million in deposits since 2004 to purchase 68 of the Viceroy's 134 villas. Those deposits were spent on construction, a common practice in the Caribbean.
To spur buyers to close their long-idled purchases, Starwood plans to reduce prices on some of the units, many of which are outfitted in marble, overlooking the beach. The villas and condominiums were first sold at $600,000 to $6.5 million. Nightly rates for the resort's 32 hotel rooms range from $899 to $15,000, depending on the size of the suite and time of season.
Some buyers earlier decided they want out. At least three—New Jersey couple Gary and Florence Black and investor Michael Hirtenstein—sued in U.S. District Court in New York to negate their purchase contracts and recoup their deposits. Viceroy Hotels is contesting the lawsuits.
Buyers who wish to back out will join a pool of unsecured creditors, and would likely get only partial recoveries.
Mr. Sternlicht already has invested about $12 million into the property and obsessively monitored the resort. Just weeks before a sold-out period around Christmas, he purchased eight blenders that the resort's bar lacked. He also bought Kinects for Xbox 360 game consoles to install in rooms, and sent trainers to the island to teach yoga classes.
Law firm Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld is advising Viceroy. DLA Piper is advising Starwood.
Corrections & Amplifications
Barry Sternlicht's Starwood Capital invested about $12 million in the Viceroy Anguilla over the past few months. An earlier version of this article incorrectly said it was about $14 million.

Gender Equality Festival, 2011, 6th edition
Finaced by Youth in Action Program (Tineret In Actiune)
Being a real man is not about overpowering women and being a woman is not about submitting to male power. We can free ourselves from gender stereotypes by being aware of them. This was the main message of the Gender Equality Festival organized between 21 and 23 October 2011 by the Association for Gender Equality and Liberty – A.L.E.G. in Sibiu, Romania. Over 200 teenagers from Sibiu participated in this educational campaign, fighting stereotypes about men and women which feed different forms of discrimination and violence. The campaign used non-formal education methods to create a variety of attractive events.
During the street event "Choose your words" which took place on the city center pedestrian area, the passers-by had the chance to spell out their own understanding about gender equality with the help of 30 volunteers acting ashuman letters. Over 40 people stopped to share with us their own definitions of gender equality, such as: "respect for women", "different together", "fidelity", "protection", "harmony", "friendship", etc. Some other 100 passers-by stopped to reflect on the written words and to take part in the survey organized by A.L.E.G. on the topic of gender equality.
Gender Treasure Hunt was a team competition organized in the open-air ASTRA Museum from Dumbrava Sibiului (ASTRA Museum was our partner in this project and allowed the participants free access for the event). Eleven teams (made up of boy and girl) had to pass through ten practical assignments which gave them the opportunity to become aware of gender stereotypes and prejudices (e.g. boys are not good at doing household chores and girls don't have any technical skills), and to discover the values and significance of equality between sexes. AVON cosmetics offered the prizes for this competition. The follow-up was a workshop on gender education held by Camelia Proca – A.L.E.G. director and Miruna Roman – member of A.L.E.G..
The race Equals on Bicycles took place in the city Subarini Park. For this race, A.L.E.G. in collaboration with the Association "Tura in Natura" managed to promote not only gender equality, but also a healthy lifestyle by combining the practical challenge (competitors had to ride their bicycles in teams of two on a pre-established route) with a creative one (crafting a collage to express their own vision on gender equality using symbols picked up at checkpoints during the race). Eleven teams registered for this competition, all made up of one boy and one girl; the first two places received prizes financed by the Sibiu County Council through the ASTRA Library.
One of the most successful activities of the Festival was the Human Library hosted by the Gong Theatre for Children and Youth". During this activity, around 20 participants experienced a form of unconventional reading. This activity was an invitation to communication, tolerance and mutual understanding beyond stereotypes and prejudices with the help of Human Books – people whose stories contradict social generalizations. Our books showed that a girl can be a car racer, a father can change diapers, or that a blind girl can be very successful.
The 3 Forum Theatre shows (one hosted by the Gong Theatre and two in a local pub and a cafe) gathered around 140 participants. The plays, performed by professional actors, dealt with topics like domestic abuse and human trafficking and mocked sexist commercials promoted by the mass media. The specific challenge of forum theatre is for the public to actively get involved in changing the plot by proposing solutions to the problematic situations illustrated by the play; this encourages the building of new attitudes and behaviours. During the show performed at the Gong Theatre, our skilled moderator managed to involve over 20 people from the public in proposing solutions and 9 of them went up on the stage and replaced the actors.
A.L.E.G. has been organizing this festival since 2004, but in 2011 the young members in the organization took over both concept and implementation. All those involved in the core team were between 16 and 29 years old. The Festival was funded by the European Commissionthrough the Youth in Action Program and co-financed by the Sibiu County Council through the ASTRA Library and Global Fund for Children. Last but not least, we are thankful for the contribution of the following partners: The ASTRA National Museum Complex, Tura in Natura Association, Avon Cosmetics and our media partners:Sibiu 100%, Radio Kiss FM and Zile şi Nopţi magazine.

The CMF seeks to establish good relations with the London embassies and high commissions of all Muslim majority countries. The reason is that all these countries have diaspora communities in the UK who are potential Conservative voters and potential CMF members. Also all of these countries are trading partners of the UK.
One important aspect of this is attending events at the embassy or high commission when invited.
On 2 November CMF Executive Member Lady Sheikh, and CMF Executive Secretary Shaheen Thantrey were at the Turkish Embassy. They were attending a celebration for the 94'th anniversary of the Republic of Turkey. (Republic Day is 29 October.)

ABACE2017 Highlights Enthusiasm for Business Aviation
Contact: Dan Hubbard, 202-783-9360, firstname.lastname@example.com
Shanghai, China, April 13, 2017 – As the Asian Business Aviation Conference & Exhibition (ABACE) concluded its third and final day, organizers reported that the sixth edition of the event was perhaps the strongest to date.
ABACE2017 took place April 11–13, 2017, at the Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport. The event is produced through a partnership between the National Business Aviation Association (NBAA) and the Shanghai Airport Authority (SAA), and co-hosted by the Asian Business Aviation Association.
"ABACE appears to have met or exceeded everyone's expectations," said NBAA President and CEO Ed Bolen. "The industry continues to see opportunities in the region, as illustrated in part by the introduction of two aircraft models displayed for the first time in China. We were also pleased with the strong support for general aviation shown by government leaders here. Clearly, there continues to be enormous potential for business aviation in China, and across Asia."
Bolen pointed to other examples illustrating the show's success:
- The ABACE exhibit floor had more than 180 exhibitors, and the show's floor footprint was the largest ever. About 40 percent of ABACE exhibitors were based in Asia, and more than 40 countries were represented among ABACE attendees, demonstrating the show's international representation.
- ABACE featured 33 aircraft on display this year, including the full spectrum of business aircraft, from pistons through intercontinental jets – including an air-ambulance aircraft – and helicopters. Ten exhibitors hosted chalets situated on the display ramp.
- ABACE also featured the first-time appearance of an exhibitor's solar-powered, unmanned aircraft.
Bolen noted the government support for the general aviation industry demonstrated at ABACE; for example:
- Top national and international officials served as keynote speakers for the ABACE2017 Opening General Session. On the stage at the session were Jiang Huaiyu, director general of the Eastern Regional Headquarters for the Civil Aviation Authority of China (CAAC); Geoff Jackson, executive director for the U.S.-China Aviation Cooperation Program; Hanscom Smith, counsul general of the United States Consulate General in Shanghai; Axel Cruau, the French consul general in Shanghai; Stephen Creamer, director of the Air Navigation Bureau at the International Civil Aviation Organization, and Jing Yiming, SAA president. Wang Jijie, SAA vice president, was the host of the ceremony.
- The SAA president was also part of a forum, hosted by the Eastern China Regional Administration of CAAC, the SAA and the NBAA, focused on the continued development and expansion of China's business aviation infrastructure.
Jiang Huaiyu mentioned at the forum that ABACE had been successfully held in Shanghai for the past five years, serving as an international communications platform for business aviation in China and across Asia.
With China's reform and opening, as well as its continued economic development, the number and scale of business aviation companies, and the number of business aviation flights, have seen an annual increase of 20 percent.
The advantages of business aviation in the process of developing general aviation can be observed in the personalized, multilevel and popular purchasing trends. The General Office of the State Council of the People's Republic of China released the Guiding Opinions of the General Office of the State Council on Promoting the Development of General Aviation Industry in May 2016, which is the first official document issued from a national strategic perspective with guidance on the development of general aviation.
Following the guidance, the Civil Aviation Administration of China recently issued the Thirteenth Five-Year Plan For General Aviation Development. Furthermore, Feng Zhenglin, director of the CAAC, emphasized during the 2017 China NPC & CPPCC Annual Sessions, that the country is promoting the development of civil aviation, with the intention to encourage the economic development in the region. General aviation has become a crucial component in the development China's civil aviation industry.
Jing Yiming stated in his remarks that there were over 6,000 business aviation traffic movements at the two Shanghai airports in 2016, an annual increase of 10 percent compared to 2015. "With the release of the new national policy for developing general aviation, the business aviation industry in Shanghai will enjoy a wider market space and richer resource supply," he said.
"SAA values and is continuously paying attention to the development of business aviation in Shanghai. The second business aviation base at Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport has begun construction and is expected to operate in 2018.
"Preliminary research on the Pudong Airport business aviation base project has also been carried out," he said. "With support from the government, SAA is putting great effort into facilitating the development of business aviation, with a goal to make Shanghai the business aviation center of North East Asia, and a qualified outstanding Global City, and to contribute to the nation's 'One Belt, One Road' strategy."
As in years past, ABACE provided a number of educational offerings, including sessions examining the ongoing evolution of unmanned aircraft systems; humanitarian uses for rotorcraft, including for medical transportation and emergency response; special considerations for financing new and used aircraft; promoting a robust safety culture in business aviation flight operations; and the impact on business aviation operations following the recent implementation of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations Open Skies Agreement.
The show also featured a Careers in Business Aviation Day, with participation from 235 students, from eight schools located in Shanghai, Nanjing and the Hunan province. The event, which was jointly organized by NBAA and AsBAA, included an opening presentation, dedicated sessions for the students and a tour of the ABACE2017 aircraft display.
Bolen concluded: "Over the past five years, ABACE has grown to become a must-attend event, not only for industry stakeholders in China and throughout Asia, but also for the worldwide business aviation community. We thank our exhibitors, attendees and sponsors, and we look forward to returning to Shanghai for the 2018 edition of ABACE."
ABACE2018 will take place from April 17-19, 2018, in Shanghai China. Learn more about ABACE2018.

I don't like writing!
How many times have you heard this? I hear this quite often especially from Emma. It is school holidays in Victoria, Australia and Emma brought home a letter writing sheet to do.
I did all the warnings before saying that we were going to do the sheet and prior to completing the task she was looking forward to doing it and she kept reminding me that she had not done it yet.
Nevertheless, today was the day and goodness I copped the "I don't like writing" both barrels. She threw herself under the table and just started saying "NO I'm not doing it." I took the tact of reminding her that her writing is lovely and I searched for examples of how neat her writing actually is. She has had lots of help from her Occupational Therapist and we do it also at home.
She got up on the chair again, looked at the work and yelled "I don't like writing." She proceeded to throw the sheet and pencil and gave me an angry look. I thought to myself "no I am not going to reprimand her for throwing things" and just said "what is up?" She looked at me with daggers and said "I don't like writing" and she went and curled up on the small trampoline. I watched her heavy breathing and debated to leave it or keep going."
So I asked her "what are you having difficulty with (in regards to writing)?"
Her reply: "I can't write the letters."
So then I asked "Is it that you don't know where to start the letters?"
She gave me the mum don't be stupid look and yelled back "I don't like writing!"
We sat there for about 30 seconds in silence and all I could hear was her hard breathing.
Then I said "what do you need"
She then said quite calmly "I need Jessie." Jessie is our Golden Retriever.
I then asked her "Will Jessie help you to write or calm down?"
She said "to calm down".
Now I do not know who is harder to call to come here, the girls or the dog. Ten times she had to be called. So then Emma then spent some time patting the dog. Then she was willing to get back up on the chair. Emma commenced doing the writing task and then threw the pencil again. "I don't like writing" she yelled.
I asked her "what is hard?"
Emma replied "I can't do the lower case letters."
By the end of the first line, Emma gained her confidence and completed the sheet and was happy with her work. She even showed Dad when he arrived home.
Instead of imposing adult consequences on Emma which I knew were only going to make things worse, I simply started asking her questions to find out what was causing the behaviour. I already knew that she could do it as even her teacher made a comment to me about how neat her writing had become. But I needed Emma to voice what the issue is. Together we helped each other through the task and both of our needs were met. Emma completed the task and for Emma she was proud with her work.
She had to complete the other side as well and when I said it was time to do the task off she went and completed it. There are always reasons for behaviours and instead of assuming what the problem was from an adult perspective, I had to find out what was so hard from her perspective.

Miami (Fla.) Tennis Rallies to Upset Florida in NCAA Regional Final
May 9, 2009
*Courtesy of Miami (Fla.) Athletics
GAINESVILLE, Fla. - The No. 22 University of Miami men's tennis team rallied from a 3-0 deficit to knock off No. 10 Florida, 4-3, to win the Gainesville Regional in the NCAA Division I Men's Tennis Championships at UF's Linder Stadium at Ring Tennis Complex on Saturday.
The Hurricanes (16-8) now advance to the NCAA's Round of 16 for the second time in four years to square off versus No. 7 UCLA (19-4), who defeated Hawaii, 4-0, in its regional final in Los Angeles today.
Trailing 3-0, the Hurricanes were in a must-win situation in the four remaining matches if they wished to keep their season alive and snap a two-match losing streak to the Gators (18-9) - including a 4-1 loss to Florida in the NCAA second round match between the programs just one season ago.
Senior David Rosenfeld got the Hurricanes on the scoreboard with a 4-6, 6-2, 6-0 victory over No. 33 Alex Lacroix at the No. 2 position. Sophomore Christian Blocker kept it going, earned his third win in his last four matches to bring Miami within a point of the host Gators, 3-2, with a 6-4, 1-6, 6-2 win at No. 5. Click here to find out more!
After splitting the first two sets, 13th-ranked All-American Daniel Vallverdu powered to the 4-6, 6-2, 7-5 victory in the top flight over No. 23 Carlos Cueto to knot the match at 3-3.
The focus then moved to the battle at the No. 3 position between All-American Carl Sundberg and UF's Antoine Benneteau, with a trip to the NCAA Round of 16 hanging in the balance. Benneteau claimed a tight first-set 7-6, but Sundberg came back to even it up with a 6-4 second-set win. With the match on the line, it was all Sundberg in the third set as he clinched the victory for the Hurricanes with the strong 6-1 decision.
Miami will face UCLA on Thursday, May 14, at 7 p.m. (EST) at Texas A&M's George P. Mitchell Tennis Center in College Station, Texas. Miami is among a nation-best four ACC teams (Virginia, Wake Forest, Florida State) to advance to this week's NCAA Round of 16. The SEC, Pac 10 and Big 12 will be represented by three teams apiece, while the Big Ten is sending two and the WAC has one.

Give Yourself a New Smile this Holiday Season
The holiday season is here, and what better time to give yourself the perfect smile you've always dreamed of having. Today's cosmetic dentistry procedures make it easier than ever to correct problems like discolored or chipped teeth, and many treatments can be performed in just one office visit!
For more than two decades, Dr. David Blaustein has been helping New York residents achieve the confidence and luminous smiles they deserve. His Chelsea dental office features state-of-the-art equipment and the latest technology, ensuring patient comfort and care. For more information about our restorative and cosmetic dental procedures this holiday, we invite you to call 347-973- 7527 and schedule an appointment.
Take a look at some of our most requested smile makeover treatments, and for those who feel anxious about a visit to the dentist, Dr. Blaustein may recommend nitrous oxide or oral conscious sedation for a painless and stress-free experience.
Porcelain veneers
Patients who are bothered by misshapen, cracked or damaged teeth can transform their smiles with porcelain veneers. These wafer-thin restorations can be customized to match the exact color of your surrounding teeth to deliver exceptional results. Even better, they are stain-resistant and incredibly durable. The process is simple and pain-free. First, a micro thin layer of enamel is etched from the tooth's surface before the custom-made veneer is bonded in place with a special cement and curing light. After the veneers are in place, final adjustments are made to ensure a Hollywood-worthy smile.
Laser teeth whitening
Not everyone was born with brilliantly white teeth. Even the most diligent oral hygiene practices cannot erase the staining effects of coffee, wine, tea and nicotine. Don't trust your smile to at-home whitening kits – especially if you already have temperature sensitivities. For the quickest, safest and most effective results, it's best to have an in-office professional whitening treatment under the guidance of a dentist. For a dazzling smile, Dr. Blaustein prefers Zoom whitening that uses a customized formulation of hydrogen gel which can lighten your teeth up to five shades in less than 45 minutes.
Tooth-colored fillings
Silver or amalgam fillings were the gold standard for treating cavities and tooth decay for many years. Although durable, these restorations are not aesthetically pleasing, particularly in the front teeth. Whether you have a new cavity that needs to be filled, or simply want to replace your old metal restorations with white fillings, Chelsea Dental Aesthetics makes the process both easy and affordable. Most patients today prefer composite tooth-colored fillings, which are made of a durable resin and porcelain that is blended to match the color of your existing teeth. With good dental hygiene, white fillings can last upwards of 7-10 years.
Same day dental implants
Permanent tooth replacement with dental implants used to be a laborious and tedious process. Not anymore. Individuals who have lost most or all of their teeth due to injury or disease, can now have a brand new smile in just one dental visit. Implant-supported teeth look and function just like natural teeth and can last a lifetime! Dr. Blaustein is proud to offer All on Six same day dental implants in his Manhattan office. Imagine spending the holidays with the new-found confidence of a beautiful, perfect smile.
Kick off 2017 with the self-esteem and confidence that comes with a stunning, radiant smile. Call Dr. Blaustein and his staff at Chelsea Dental Aesthetics to arrange a consultation today!

Has anyone ever had any success in decreasing the APR on a Capital one auto finance through the dealer?

current loan?
or you have been approved through capital one but you want to know if the dealership can beat the APR?
The only way to get a better interest rate is if you refinance it to another bank or trade it in and finance or lease a new car at a better interest rate (new used, New, and New lease).
Otherwise if you already have the car and the loan and have been paying for a bit, no help from dealer on current car.

I had a cap1 blank check once that I took to a dealer. I had him run my credit to see if he could get me a better rate. Ended up that he couldn't, but what was interesting to me was that in his bunch of replys was one from cap1 with a higher rate and a requirement that I either pay off or trade in the car I owned at the time-one that I planned on keeping. Using the blank check did not have that requirement and I bought the car (Jeep wrangler) that day. Two different groups inside cap1 I reckon.
Go figure.
I had a Santander loan approval at carmax, went to honda and he called his person with santander to get a loan and they flat out denied!
I went back and financed with no issues with santander at carmax... not great rate but I thought that was so silly then!
I know Cap1 does not do Refi's, I tried and was told they do not, I was quite upset because on thier website they have a "button" to select and when I was told they do not I had an inquiry on my credit report. I wrote a letter explaining this and they removed it (very surprised)..hope that answers at least half of your question. Not sure on the rest.

For Hypogonadism, Male "I went to the dr. I had my T-levels check came back 160 and couple months went by my T-levels are 473 feeling good. I highly recommended Androgel 1.62"

For Hypogonadism, Male "I've started testosterone replacement therapy when I was 30 years old started out with name brand AndroGel 1.62 percent my levels increase dramatically. Then my insurance stop covering it I was able to get the injection of testosterone 100 mg intramuscularly once a week it worked amazing for the past two years. Most doctors, even endocrinologist don't know much about testosterone replacement therapy "

For Hypogonadism, Male "I've been using Androgel (2 pumps per day) for about 3 weeks now. My energy level and sex drive is a lot better. In a better mood also. I haven't had any side effects yet nor have I gotten any blood work done either. I am 46 with total testosterone level at the low 300 level. Dr. thought this would help. So far so good... I'm very lucky to have insurance coverage and my copay is $40 month"

For Hypogonadism, Male "My testosterone wad 153 and on the second test was 125. The doctor started me on two pumps a day and after 90 day it. Was 194. The only change was my atomic hot flashes had stopped. They were really bad and after the flash I would freeze in my soaked clothes. So now it has changed to bad night sweats. I do not feel the heat but wake up covered in sweat. I now use four pumps a day and it has been a week. I know I have to be patient, but if two pumps increased the reading by less than 70 I do not see that four pumps will bring me above 300. I have chronic pain and have to use a lot of opioids every day. This likely caused the problem and continues to fight the testosterone. My pain doctor told me I need to get on with my life as much as possible "

After 6 wks I was tested the results were 432 that was exciting I also gained 15pounds I use to weigh 140 now I'm staying between 150-156 I am stronger more energy can think better but I do have my days that suck it's all part of the test now not everyone is going to have results like mine so keep trying to find what it is that works also if your eating poorly that maybe the reason also try to eat healthy and workout"

For Hypogonadism, Male "38 years old. I took Androgel 5mg /day for 7 months with no, or very few results. I went up to 7,5mg/day for a month with the same effect. The testosterone level is still very low. My doctor asked me to try Natesto for a month, we'll see from there !"

For Hypogonadism, Male "I have been on the medicine just about 3 years now, and it has really turned my life around - I am 47. I use the minimum dose. T went from 150 -> 700 after just 6 months - maintains there regularly. One thing I do to help it work better is apply lotion 1 hour after using it every day. Turns out JAMA had an article that showed applying lotion or suntan lotion increased efficacy of absorption by 14-18%. I suggest this for those who are not getting desirable results. I get blood tested every 6 months - which is good, in my opinion."

For Hypogonadism, Male "I am 66 and used Androgel in the past for about 4 years, max dose (4 pumps), with T around 450. Then med was dropped from formulary; I switched to Fortesta. Doc started me on max dose (7 pumps; has different concentration) but had to decrease to just 2 pumps to get acceptable T level (7 pumps Fortesta gave T of 3,500!). The formulary changed again and I'm back on Androgel 1.62% for nearly a year, max dose of 4 pumps, but T now only 175. This new stuff smells and feels different than the Androgel I was on before and is made in Mexico which makes me suspect improper manufacturing or storage. Am definitely not pleased with this product now, and wonder what I'm actually using. Will ask Doc about applying to thighs where I used Fortesta."

For Hypogonadism, Male "I took Axiron for a year or 2. My T level was 680 on my last test. After taking Androgel 1.62 for 9 months, my T level is now 189. My doctor is asking me to double up (4 pumps instead of 2). I am very disappointed in the effectiveness of Androgel 1.62 and also concerned with any side effects that might accompany doubling my dose. Any comment?"

For Hypogonadism, Male "I had T levels below 200 and the Doc started me on Androgel 1.62. I saw minor improvements at 2 and 3 pumps per day, but didn't see normal T numbers until he prescribed a max dose of 4 pumps daily. I had libido and ED issues that have greatly improved. The main side effect I have is that I have some body acne on the shoulders and upper chest, I've also had a little more chest hair. Without insurance and even with insurance the gel can be too pricey for many."

For Hypogonadism, Male "Just so you guys know its NOT total testosterone that you need to be worried about so much as its your FREE testosterone that really matters. You need to see if your free test is in normal range. You could have a total testosterone of 1200 but if your free test is lower than normal you'll feel like crap. Low energy low libito can't gain muscle etc. On other hand if you had a total testosterone say only 400 but your FREE testosterone is good normal range you'll feel great all around. Everyone posts about TOTAL Testosterone but its the FREE unbound testosterone you need to really worry about. Total testosterone is bound meaningless in the energy libito muscle department were as FREE testosterone takes care of the energy libido muscle departme"

For Hypogonadism, Male "Terrible. You feel a bump in energy and libido the first 1-2 weeks and then it drops. They up the dose and it happens again. I started at 230 test and went on this drug. It dropped to 198! It does not absorb. That is the problem. And when it does it supposedly becomes DHT which is like a female hormone. The only reason this drug sells is because people are deperate for help."

For Hypogonadism, Male "Been using for 2 years. Overall, it does what it's supposed to. At 52 I was just feeling out of it. Tired all the time, loss of energy, spare tyre weight gain, and some erectile dysfunction. Tested at 278. Started with shots, and AndroGel combined, then just AndroGel for the last year. The shots were far more effective, and cheaper, but my T levels would go way up then way down before the next shot. The gel keeps it steady. I have lost a lot of waist line, don't need naps anymore, and sex life is back to what it was in my 30s."

Then my shriveled up penis went back to it's normal soft 4 inches. After another week or so, I was able to get my normal 8 inch erection again. I don't know what guys did before this medicine was invented. I would have had to get out a magnifying glass. All of a sudden I now feel like I need to do something about the beer belly, and working out feels like it is worth the effort again. Androgel is like the fountain of youth."

For Hypogonadism, Male "For 9 months I struggled with anxiety, depression, foggy brain, fatigue, low sex drive, loss of morning erections, and general feeling of malaise. Doctor tested my T and came back at 251. I was referred to an endocrinologist and he retested and came back at 189. Prescribed Androgel 1.62% on a 2 month trail and it has been amazing. Within 4-5 days I noticed that the "crashes" that I used to experience daily for 4-5 hours now only lasted 30-60 minutes. After 4 weeks of treatment, the Daily crashes have disappeared. My sex drive is coming back, still not where it should be but I'm optimistic that I'll get there. I have a follow up appointment in a month and I'm looking forward to finding out my levels!"

For Hypogonadism, Male "I am a 75 Years old male, 5 years at the Gym, fairly muscular. I had a 330 ng/ml total testosterone and I decided to check with the Urologist if I could use this medicine. After few test, he decided to give me the patches that gave rash and not improvement at all. The Doctor started me with the 1% gel - 2 pumps in the morning and the next reading was 207 ng/ml. I went back to his office and he told me, You need more medicine, and put me un Androgel 1.62 % - 4 pumps in the morning for about 3 month. At me surprice the next reading was 440 ng/ml and 3 more month 754 ng/ml. At some point, I ran out of the insurance coverage for this year and I had to reduce to 2 pumps - 1.62 %. Then my testosterone level fell to 220 ng/ml again."

"I used Androgel for many years until my insurance company upped the deductible to $250 for 3 months. Testim is so sticky and doesn't dry quickly like Androgel. I'm on the maximum dosage of each, and my T count dropped from 900 to 700 after switching over. I highly recommend Androgel - it works great!"

I give up on IR
After over 5 years in IR, I give up. I love the specialty, but I refuse to work for another non-nurse. I have never had the trouble in my nursing career as when I worked in IR. I give up trying to justify my actions to a rad tech. It's not right. And it seems like it will never get fixed. I wish Joint Commission could come down like a ton of bricks on these Radiology departments. There's always some fluffy "nursing supervisor" or some disinterested nurse in another department as a "dotted line" to nursing. It's all a load of horse hockey and it needs to stop. It's ridiculous that a tech is hiring/firing/reviewing/disciplining RNs. And this one is done with it. I would discourage any RN from joining a radiology department.

from AR , USSep 11, '17This is not what it is like where I work. Nurses are separate from the RTs. We work parallel to each other. In what part of the country are you working?Sep 18, '17Arkansas. I moved here from Mississippi. From a gigantic hospital to a small, private one. Same both places. My boss was a tech. Granted, one was the director of the Radiology department, but a rad tech nonetheless. It's unsettling, especially when you're the only nurse like I was at the small hospital. My "supervisor" worked in another department. Like...really??Feb 2OK I'm REALLY confused. I just got hired on and i start next week in radiology. But I interviewed with a nursing manager, she said she was super hands on and likes to be really accessible to the staff. I did a separate staff interview with some RNs who verified that and said they all can text her any time. I asked about the hierarchy because at my last job I had literally 5 bosses and she said I report directly to her. So what is this buisines about a radiology tech telling me what to do? The main reason I wanted this job was because my superior was clearly defined.
???????Feb 3I have worked places where a senior Tech was the manager but I agree its a bad idea. My eval was completed by another nurse though. I would say this isn't the norm, most places have a NURSE manager and I agree it makes for a much better department.Feb 19Sounds like you don't have a problem then GaryRay lol. Good for you. Both hospitals had Cath labs with nurse managers. I just don't get it. What's different about IR?? One facility I was at bled staff to the Cath lab. The only reason I didn't transfer is that I lived too far away to be able to take call. They have a hard 30-minute call time. Hopefully you'll have a better experience than I did. I will NEVER work for another rad tech.Last edit by BexnRN on Feb 19
