Fine, but every other instance you cite, like CQs, scheduled meteor QSO timing, etc are all "broadcasting" for the purposes of establishing contact via QSO. APRS is often robotic, which is not in any way out-of-bounds, but still (in my view) should be a secondary use when compared to actual live traffic / message handling by live ops. >Ariss.net is a convenient way to summarize reception reports from a >wide variety of earth stations that have access to the Internet as a >backbone.

My client are a pioneer in the wellbeing industry. The products they build include a consumer facing marketplace and the software that their partners use to run their businesses. Both are available on the web and as native apps for iOS and Android.
Whilst they are in the wellbeing sector, technology is absolute front and centre. The rest of the company respects and appreciates the tech team, and they understand that their job is to deliver valuable products for the business.
Agile principles and values are important to them, their cross-functional teams use Scrum and various XP practices, they love DDD and they are embracing eventual consistency in their new services.
Their tech stack includes Java 8, PostgreSQL, Spring, Hibernate, JPA 2.1, Immutables, Tomcat, Jetty, ES2015, NodeJS, ReactJS, Sass, Docker, RabbitMQ, AWS, iOS, Android, Jenkins, Selenium and Appium.
Their stack is chosen for scale. They're building a huge business and a platform to match. They're always open to new ideas as long as they are good for their business.
They believe in ATDD, automated testing and continuous integration and they want to do them all brilliantly. They do hackathons, cross team demos, code academies for non-techies, regular drinks and team lunches.
They do things well, but they're not complacent. They want to do great work and they want to be known for it. They're looking for people who can help them to continue to grow and improve as a team.
The tech team is a great bunch, they love to ship software and they are a very smart team of people. They like to use the right tech for the job but they don't get seduced by the latest shiny fads.
They know that it takes more than a ping pong table and a beer fridge to make an exceptional engineering culture. They are all empowered to make meaningful decisions about what they do and how they work, and they do everything at a sustainable pace. They trust each other and they support each other. They speak their minds and everyone's opinions are respected.
If you like the sound of this role, we'd love to hear from you. You can send your CV to email@example.com or or call us on 020 7866 8155.

Mini Bonds
Allia's mini bonds provide a way for charities to raise loan finance from their network of supporters. The bonds are issued and managed by Allia Impact Investments and the proceeds loaned on to the charity. Some of our current areas of focus are schools, churches and community housing.
Mini bonds create an additional option to traditional philanthropy, allowing supporters to assist the charity through an investment that offers a fixed rate of interest. Allia Impact Investments is a community benefit society, which means that it is able to offer bonds on behalf of the charity directly to the public. It will administer the applications for investment and manage the register of bondholders and payments of interest throughout the life of the bonds.
Allia's mini bond solution is designed for charities seeking to raise £1-3 million for up to 5 years.

text: I've been busy with paying off credit cards and such from failed internet ventures but being as how I am, i've wandered back into internet stuff. So I've been roaming around on the forum looking and doing research and reading.... when i realized oh crap i bought XRUMER like 2 years ago and i just relogged in the site. So question is: I'm cash strapped and i have xrumer. How shall i use it to make me some money which i can then put into experimenting and learning blackhat/whitehat money making methods. Should I mess with it first and sell my services for blasting? Or should i buy an aged domain, read up on white hat stuff maybe adsense and blast that for backlinks for keywords Again don't have money so i can't get a website up and start applying to CPA networks yet. (i just did a debt settlement so all my credit cards pretty much don't exist anymore so i'd have to apply for a new one sometime soon if i wanted to start some campaigns.)

After an unknown epidemic, the Earth has virtually become a dead planet. Many people turned into unknown monsters, and only the strongest survived. Some survivors began to loot. They searched in abandoned cities for useful things and fought with the mutants. Some were more lucky, and some less so. You were one of the survivors who engaged in similar forays into the cities, but something went wrong and you are not sure where or how. You do not even remember your name. All you have left is an ax and a couple of firearms. The only thing that you remember well is how to chop off the heads of these damned zombies! How long will you last? An hour or two or maybe even a few days? The longer, the better. Get ready for the real test ...
Dead Ground in a nutshell:
- Fight with the crowds of zombies!
- Look for filters with air to survive!
- Choose one of the three classes, each with its own weapons and appearance!

Working in one of those smoky dives, which makes the place seem so small, Addison wondered how she was going to tell Harold she needed to hold off on their plans to get hitched.
It wasn't that she didn't love him; she happened to have loved him very much. However, working in a Speakeasy in the 1930's was a dangerous thing to do. If the coppers ever busted that place, Addy, and those around her—including Harold—would be held accountable.
Addison decided it would be best to find a better solution of work before taking the plunge. Harold had told her not to worry about money. He said, "Money is no object."
She knew that. However, being the modern woman she was, she didn't want people to think of her as a gold digger.
"They wouldn't think of you that way, my love," Harold had promised her. "We'll get married, and live far away from here. I am the king, and you'll be my queen. We'll be together forever."
His words reminded her of the one time the fortune teller showed up and gave Addy a reading. The teller once told her the same thing similar to Harold's words. She told Addison she would live like a queen forever. She sighed at the thought because she knew the truth. Harold made a decent living, not enough to live like royalty, but it didn't matter to Addison if he was rich or poor. She loved him, and she swore she would love him forever.
She gave herself a mental shake and replied, "I know, darling. It'll seem that way." She remembered how he smiled at her last words. It was almost as if he was keeping a joke hidden from her.
"Sweetheart!" A customer called out, breaking Addison away from her reverie. "Another Manhattan, please."
She nodded, and headed over to the bar.
"Hey Johnny," she greeted the bartender. "Another Manhattan for the gentleman over there."
"Sure thing, dolls," He said. He started to put ice in the glass when he noticed what he was missing. "Hey, would you mind being a doll, and see if we have anymore vermouth back there. It seems I'm all out."
"Yeah, sure. No problem, Johnny." She headed to the back to go look.
When she opened up the door to the back room where all the extra liquor was, she noticed something was different. The room looked a tad different, and there was no liquor there.
She decided to close the door to ask her boss where the extra liquor was, but as she shut the door, she found she was no longer in the Speakeasy.
"This can't be right," she said to herself. There had to have been something wrong. What was she forgetting?
She started to wander down the corridor from where she shut the door, and noticed this wasn't any ordinary hallway. The walls had an old and charming, yet, Gothic look to them. And she noticed pictures on the walls. These pictures led all the way up a set of stairs.
She lifted up her nightgown to walk up the stairs, when it dawned on her. How did she get into a nightgown? Why didn't she remember leaving the bar? All these questions circled her mind as she stopped dead in her tracks on the stairs to stare at this one particular picture on the wall.
"Harold?" She questioned. Surely she must be dreaming. How else would she explain having no memory of how she got into this place? What is this place? She thought. A castle, maybe. No! It can't be.
She hit her head! Yes! That's what it was. Addison was sure she hit her head and passed out, and someone would wake her up soon enough. But the problem was she wasn't waking up. And just then, a pair of eyes fixated on her. She looked into those eyes, and ran into his arms.
"Harold," she exclaimed. "I don't understand what is going on."
"Shh, my love," he held her tight. "You're still new, but soon enough you will remember everything."
She shook her head as she wept. "No, something isn't right. I'm dreaming, aren't I?" She broke free and looked up at him. "You're going to disappear from me, aren't you?"
"I can assure you, darling, you are not dreaming, and I will never leave you," he consoled her. "You're just missing bits and pieces. It'll come to you in time."
"I don't understand," she spoke softly. She looked around some more and asked, "Where are we?"
"Didn't I promise you we would live like a king and queen?" He took a step back and held his hand out to her. "No one will harm you here. It isn't the Bran Castle, but I think you'll find this place more homely. Come. Take my hand. Let's go back to bed."
With a teary eye, she took his hand. Harold was the only one in the world she ever felt safe around. Why would he ever steer her wrong?
As he led her back down the corridor, flashes of memory appeared before her.
When she opened the door to the back room at the bar, Harold was there. Her memory was still a bit fuzzy, but she did remember leaving with him, and getting married after all. She also remembered something else.
They headed back to the castle, and into the bedroom where they had a night of passion, and they were feeding each other. And then.
No, she thought. It can't be. But as much as she tried to deny it, it still entered her mind.
She remembered what Harold asked her. "Do you trust me?"
"Forever," Addison replied.
He smiled that smile that told it was another inside joke, but still, he smiled at her. "I'll see you again in a few hours." And with those words, he plunged his sword deep into her chest.
Addison gasped at the blurred memory.
Harold noticed this, and quickly laid her down on the bed. "What's wrong?"
"You stabbed me," she grabbed her chest where she had been stabbed, but noticed there was no wound there. Even her nightgown was clean. "Well, I thought you did."
"Oh, but I did, my love," he admitted shamefully.
"But why?"
"It is the only way to spend forever with me."

[b]Are this quantities in YENS or DOLLARS??
Spring Anime!!
Summer Anime Marathons!
ya the money is worth paying for it
Wow, I had no idea it was so expensive to run a site like this.
I'm just thankful that I can even get an idea of licensing costs because I'd always been curious about how much Anime costs to bring over. (And the prices DO NOT include other costs such as dubbing, marketing, and packaging). YAY for court documents being public record!
My backlog...
Each series mentioned is a property which was acquired by ADV Films in the mid-2000s. The company released the vast majority of them on dual-language DVDs, with three to five episodes per disc. (I say "vast majority" because I don't think ADV released a few of these. IIRC, Funimation was the first company that published Sgt Frog.)
Some anime series get held back from international release for years because they include expensive, difficult-to-license music. One of the classic examples is Macross 7.
Companies occasionally talk about bidding wars. One presumes that there's competition to see who can acquire the rights to recent, high profile shows such as Penguin Drum or Bakemonogatari.
So yeah, if you see an anime series which is first issues as a special edition with very few episodes per disc, don't be surprised. The publisher probably needs to make money.
those figures are for license to publish and distribute a specific title of a specific season . I believe there is a streaming license . My friend who use to work that industry told me how much it cost for Naruto to license it and to show it on the air. It aint cheap but Naruto is a pretty big title . Which why Viz is doing ok. And they also pick and choose which anime to release for US release .
Among the anime on the list Kurao , Guyver were pretty expensive and those anime werent that special or didnt get popular at all. I think they have loses on those easily.
My Avatar is seiyuu Morita san and Me cosplaying at AnimeExpo
That is to buy the license for distribution on DVD or BR. CR does not pay that much or they would be in debt.
I work for one of the top 10 CO providers in the US. The amount to air anything on TV is insane. we are talking Millions per station and a lot of places will not let you have just one you need to buy a bundle of them. I cant give exact numbers but I can say that there are some stations that cost more than 50+ millions just to Play them. There are New things Like HBO go that demand around 15-30 million to have there streaming content access. This changes from company to company its not like everyone gets the same offer its actual against the law for them to disclose the numbers.
I would not say anything about a company's assets unless you have direct information about it.

A Little on Faceting
a Gemstone: A Step by Step Process
By Chris Ralph
| Step
One: Selecting the Rough
The starting point for cutting a gem is, of course, the rough. This particular stone is a piece of amethyst from Brazil that I purchased some years ago. The amethyst miners actually take the rough crystals of amethyst and strike it with hammers to knock off the flawed portions of the stone. This produces a clean piece of rough that has broken edges as shown in the photo.
The rough gem is then sawn and ground into a shape close to that of the finished stone. The "shaped" rough is called a preform. A big key at this first step is to identify and remove any remaining flaws and then find the shape of the rough that will yield the largest stone out of what remains. The photo is enlarged of course, but the actual stone was of good size, slightly over 3/4 of an inch long.
| Step
Two: Making the Preform
The preform is sawed in diamond grit saws and ground on coarse grinding wheels. One side of the stone is cut with a flat surface - this will eventually become the table or main flat facet on top of the stone. In the beginning, this main flat facet is used to orient the rest of the stone. At this stage the stone is called a preform, and you can see what the final shape will be. So our pear shaped preform is ready to be "glued" to the brass dop stick. The flat tops of these dops are matched to the flat table facet on the stone. The glue that is used is actually a special high temperature wax. Some of this wax (which is black) is still on the brass dop from a previous use of the dop.
| Step
Three: Dopping the Stone
This is the dopped preform has now been glued flat side down on to the brass dop stick. The rough end of the stone will be cut away to form the pointed base of the stone. Contrary to what a lot of people think, faceting is NOT a process of chipping or cleaving with a little hammer. This process is used for diamonds only and then only in place of sawing to prepare them for cutting. Regular faceting is a process of grinding and polishing - this is true with both diamonds as well as colored stones. One or two different grit flat lap wheels are used to grind in the facets and a polishing lap is used to put a final polish on them. Diamonds are cut and polished on one lap.
| Step
Four: Cutting the Stone on the Faceting Machine
Here the preform is being cut and polished on a lap on my homemade faceting machine. The bottom part of the stone is cut first. Each flat facet is cut on a grinding lap, and then the lap is changed and each facet is polished on a polishing lap. The location of each is set by the toothed gear and angle protractor and the hand set. This is a polishing lap on the machine in the photo. My machine is partly home made. The mast and hand set are by master, but the rest of the machine is home made. The mast set up is also old - it dates from the 1950s. In spite of that, it still works quite well. Twenty four facets on the cullet have now been individually cut and polished.
| Step
Five: Cut and Polish the Cullet, Transfer
The bottom part (also called the cullet) of the stone has now been cut and polished - all the facets on the base are now polished and complete. Now it is time to cut the upper portion of the stone, known as the crown. In order to do that, the stone must be transferred to another dop. The new dop will hold the base of the stone so that the top portion is exposed for cutting and polishing. As the first dop had a flat surface to match the table facet, the second dop has a "V" shaped notch to match the "V" shaped bottom of the stone.
| Step
Six: Polish the Table and the Crown
The stone has now been transferred from the first dop in order to turn it over for polishing the top side of the stone - called the crown. The first facet to be cut and polished on the crown side is the top flat or table facet. In order to do this, a special 45 degree dop holder is needed to allow us to reach the table. This photo shows the table facet complete and polished but none of the rest of the other top (or crown) facets cut in - they are to be cut and polished next.
After all the facets are cut in and polished, the stone is removed from the dop stick and cleaned to remove any remaining wax. The wax can be softened by gentile heat, and most of the wax removed. The rest of the wax used in this process washes off the stone when it is soaked in alcohol.
Step Seven: Set the Stone in Nice Jewelry
This is the finished Amethyst stone - all facets complete and the stone removed from the dop sick, cleaned and set in fine jewelry. The small light colored specks across the middle of the stone are not inclusions, they are light reflections. I didn't do this piece of jewelry work, but I cut this stone for a friend to give to his wife for Christmas - he had a jeweler set it. It turned out very nice, didn't it?
So there it is, the whole process from a lump of purple chunky glass like stone, to a beautiful gem.

GALVESTON, Texas (AP) The FBI and Galveston police offered a reward Monday of as much as $10,000 for information leading to the identification and location of relatives who were caring for an unidentified boy whose body was found on a Galveston beach more than two weeks ago.
Authorities Monday gave the boy a name, "Little Jacob," and say the focus of their investigation is identifying his family.
He's Hispanic, weighed about 30 pounds, 3 feet tall and between 3 and 5 years old.
Houston-based FBI Assistant Special Agent in Charge Ed Michel says it's heartbreaking no one has come forward to identify the child or offer clues about what happened to him.
Galveston Police Captain Josh Schirard says someone has to know who his relatives are and who the child is.
Police say a person walking the beach on Oct. 20 spotted the body in the surf on the island's east end.
Police contacted forensic artist Lois Gibson to render a sketch of the boy in hopes of identifying the child, who was about 3 feet tall with a slender build and had black hair and brown eyes.
"This is an extremely unusual case for Galveston Island, and the circumstances surrounding this death grow more and more suspicious as time goes on," police said in a Facebook post.
Investigators are asking anyone with information to call Galveston police at (409) 765-3776 or Crime Stoppers at (409) 763-TIPS.

After deliberating for eight hours, the jury in the Dr. Conrad Murray trial voted to convict the physician for involuntary manslaughter of Michael Jackson.
As the verdict was read, Murray sat stoically while only a slight yelp of emotion came from one unidentified courtroom attendee.
The jury of seven men and five women sat through 49 witnesses and 23 days of testimony before rendering their decision Monday (Nov. 7). Jackson died June 25, 2009 from an overdose of the surgical anesthetic Propofol combined with Lorazepam and Midazolam.
Jurors were likely swayed by extensive expert testimony, including cardiologist Dr. Alon Steinberg. Dr. Steinberg testified he believes Dr. Murray directly contributed to Jackson's death because of gross negligence.
While on the stand, Steinberg said, "Giving Propofol in unmonitored setting without personnel, without appropriate monitoring, without appropriate equipment, not being prepared, not appropriately reacting to a [cardiac] arrest, not calling 911 on a timely fashion, all directly impacted his life…If these deviations were not to happen, Mr. Jackson would have been alive."
In his closing argument, prosecutor David Walgren echoed this sentiment. He said, "I ask that you return with a verdict of guilty because Conrad Murray caused the death of Michael Jackson. He abandoned Michael Jackson. Conrad Murray gave him Propofol. Justice demands a guilty verdict."
The defense countered that Jackson was directly responsible for his own death.
One of their star witnesses was Dr. Paul White, the Director of Research in the Department of Anesthesiology at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. Dr. White testified that, in his opinion, Jackson injected himself with the lethal dose of the drug.
However this testimony took a hit when, under cross examination, Dr. White said he didn't agree with Dr. Murray's procedures after finding Jackson unresponsive.
"I would have done things differently. I would have called for help, called 911 and initiated CPR," White said on the stand.
Murray's defense team also brought out a series Dr. Murray's past patients who spoke to his professionalism and caring nature.
In defense attorney Ed Chernoff's closing statement, he said, "Prosecutors tried to crate a drip that never existed. They wont tell you what they really want. They want you to convict Dr. Murray for the actions of Michael Jackson."
But it was clear this didn't resonate with the jury. As a result, Dr. Murray was found guilty.
Sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 29, 2011. Murray could face up to four years in prison and lose his medical license.

Brentwood Family Division
No. 2000-795
Argued: March 7, 2002
Opinion Issued: June 21, 2002
Wiggin & Nourie, P.A., of Manchester (L. Jonathan Ross and Doreen F. Connor on the brief, and Ms. Connor orally), for the respondent.
McKittrick Law Offices, of North Hampton (J. Joseph McKittrick on the brief and orally), for the petitioner.
Nadeau, J. The respondent, William J. Nyhan, appeals an order issued by the Brentwood Family Division (Maher, J.) following a hearing on post-divorce decree motions filed by both parties. On appeal, the respondent contends the trial court erred in: (1) awarding the petitioner, Joyce K. Nyhan, her share of certain IRA and 401(k) accounts based upon a post-divorce petition valuation date; (2) awarding the petitioner interest; and (3) ruling upon the petitioners untimely post-divorce decree motions. We affirm in part, vacate in part and remand.
The parties married in 1984. In 1998, Joyce Nyhan filed a petition for divorce. In May 2000, the trial court heard six days of testimony regarding the equitable division of the marital estate, and a divorce decree was issued on July 14, 2000. In the decree, the trial court granted the respondents request that the proper valuation date regarding the division of his IRA and 401(k) accounts would be the date of the filing of the divorce petition. However, in its distribution of the marital property, the decree valued the accounts in question as of the date of the final hearing, May 18, 2000, thereby including contributions made after the filing of the divorce petition. Under the decree, the respondent was directed to pay his wife her share of the so-called Office Environments of New England (OENE) assets. He was also directed to pay her, within thirty days from the date of the divorce decree, a fixed sum to equalize the distribution of the remainder of the marital assets.
The respondent filed a timely motion to reconsider, arguing, among other things, that the trial court applied the wrong valuation date to the accounts. Pending the outcome of his motion, he did not pay the petitioner as ordered in the divorce decree. Approximately two months after the decree was issued but before the court ruled upon the respondents motion for reconsideration, the petitioner filed a "motion for distribution of funds or segregation of funds" and a "motion to determine effective date of certain provisions of the final decree of divorce." In her motion for distribution of funds, she requested an immediate distribution of her share of the OENE assets. Because of the court delay in ruling upon the respondents motion for reconsideration, she also requested that she be awarded interest on her share of the OENE assets and the fixed sum the respondent was ordered to pay to equalize the distribution of the remaining marital assets. The respondent objected, arguing that her motion was untimely.
After a hearing on the motions, the trial court found that the divorce decree properly valued the accounts at issue as of May 18, 2000. The trial court also amended the decree and awarded the petitioner interest pursuant to RSA 336:1 (Supp. 2001). A subsequent order clarified that interest was awarded to compensate the petitioner for the unexpected delay in the distribution of the marital property due to post-divorce decree motions and the potential for further delay due to appellate review. This appeal followed.
As a threshold matter, we address the respondents claim that the trial court should have dismissed the petitioners post-divorce decree motions as untimely. See Super. Ct. R. 59-A(1). Assuming without deciding that the motions were untimely, we note that the trial courts discretionary power to hear an untimely motion "may be exercised, and prior exercise may be corrected, as sound discretion may require, at any time prior to final judgment." State v. Haycock, 139 N.H. 610, 611 (1995) (quotation omitted). Further, the trial court generally may correct a decree of property settlement "in the event it was based upon a misunderstanding of the facts." Erdman v. Erdman, 115 N.H. 380, 381 (1975). Therefore, the trial courts decision to rule upon the petitioners untimely motions will only be overturned if the court committed an unsustainable exercise of its discretion. See Haycock, 139 N.H. at 611; State v. Lambert, 147 N.H. 295, 296 (2001). Here, the trial court decided to hear the petitioners motions, which were filed prior to final judgment, and amended its decree. We find no unsustainable exercise of discretion based upon the facts of this case.
We now turn to the remaining substantive issues. On appeal, we will affirm the findings and rulings of the trial court unless they are unsupported by the evidence or legally erroneous. In the Matter of Fowler and Fowler, 145 N.H. 516, 519 (2000). Trial courts are afforded "broad discretion in determining and ordering the distribution of property and the payment of alimony in fashioning a final divorce decree." Id. We will not overturn the trial courts decision absent an unsustainable exercise of discretion. See id.; Lambert, 147 N.H. at 296.
We first address whether the trial court erred in valuing the respondents accounts as of the date of the final hearing. The respondent argues that his IRA and 401(k) accounts should have been divided in accordance with the valuation date specifically established for pension benefits, namely, "the period during marriage and prior to the commencement of the divorce proceedings." Holliday v. Holliday, 139 N.H. 213, 217 (1994) (citation and emphasis omitted). This rule was first enunciated in Hodgins v. Hodgins, 126 N.H. 711 (1985), and is referred to as the so-called Hodgins rule. We have recently held, however, that RSA 458:16-a (Supp. 2001) governs IRAs and 401(k) accounts and, thus, they are not treated as pension benefits subject to the Hodgins rule. See In the Matter of Gordon and Gordon, 147 N.H. __, __ A.2d __ (decided May 10, 2002). Therefore, contributions made to such accounts, "up to the date of a decree of legal separation or divorce," Holliday, 139 N.H. at 215, are properly considered part of the marital estate.
We reiterate the rule that trial courts are free to exercise their sound discretion in establishing an appropriate valuation date for the equitable distribution of marital assets. Hillebrand v. Hillebrand, 130 N.H. 520, 524 (1988). The divorce decree established May 18, 2000, as the valuation date for the accounts at issue. Although the trial court construed the accounts as pension benefits and applied the exception to the Hodgins rule to justify the valuation, see Hillebrand, 130 N.H. at 526, this was not necessary. We hold that the valuation date of May 18, 2000, was appropriate in this case.
Next, we examine whether the trial court erred in awarding the petitioner interest on her share of the marital assets under RSA 336:1. We agree with the respondent that, in this case, to the extent the trial court applied RSA 336:1 in awarding interest, it was an error of law. The time value of money is based upon the premise that its present value will increase over time due to inflation or market forces. Cf. John A. Cookson Co. v. N.H. Ball Bearings, 147 N.H. 352, 361-62 (2001). Under RSA 458:16-a, I, an increase in the value of a marital asset caused by inflation or market forces may itself be an asset subject to equitable distribution. If the time value of money is unaccounted for, an otherwise equitable distribution of an asset may be rendered inequitable due to a delayed payment over a significant amount of time. In order to avoid the possible inequities associated with a delayed payment, the trial court may provide for interest during the delay. See Williams v. Williams, 613 A.2d 200, 202 (Vt. 1992); Wormelle v. Howard, 526 A.2d 1390, 1391 (Me. 1987). The trial court may also divide the award on a percentage basis as of the date payment is tendered, thereby accounting for any changes in the value of a marital asset caused by inflation or market forces. See Williams, 613 A.2d at 202. The trial courts authority to do so is rooted in its broad discretion to equitably distribute property. See Hoffman v. Hoffman, 143 N.H. 514, 517 (1999); see also Williams, 613 A.2d at 202.
Statutory interest under RSA 336:1, however, is not applicable in the context of a property division under RSA 458:16-a. Typically, under RSA 458:16-a, the trial courts intent is to equitably distribute the marital property, not compensate one party for civil wrongs committed by another. As the actual increase of a marital asset due to its time value is, itself, an asset subject to equitable distribution, any award of interest must comply with RSA 458:16-a. In other words, interest under such circumstances is part of the marital property and is tied to the "considered judgment of the equity court in arriving at a degree of parity called fairness." McSherry v. McSherry, 135 N.H. 451, 453 (1992). This is wholly different from a post-judgment award of interest to a prevailing party in a civil proceeding, which is statutorily imposed without regard to the equities of the particular circumstances. See RSA 524:1-a (1997), :1-b (Supp. 2001); RSA ch. 336; Nault v. N & L Dev. Co., 146 N.H. 35, 39 (2001).
In this case, the trial courts imposition of interest under RSA 336:1 exceeded the actual rate of interest earned upon the OENE proceeds. Further, it appears from the record that the trial court did not consider other equitable factors, such as any tax liability the respondent incurred upon the interest earned from the OENE proceeds. See generally RSA 458:16-a, II. It may well have been appropriate for the trial court to amend the property distribution to account for the time value of money due to delay. See Erdman, 115 N.H. at 381. However, to the extent the trial court applied RSA 336:1, it was an error of law. Therefore, we vacate this portion of the divorce decree, as amended, and remand for an evidentiary hearing to determine whether the imposition of interest in this case is warranted and, if so, what constitutes a fair rate in order to achieve an equitable distribution of the marital assets.
Affirmed in part, vacated in part; and remanded.
BRODERICK, J., sat for oral argument but did not take part in the final vote; BROCK, C.J., and DALIANIS and DUGGAN, JJ., concurred.

This week, French right wing political leader Marine Le Pen wreaked havoc when she called to prohibit wearing kippahs. She claimed that this would create equality, mentioning the country's prohibition of wearing veils and hijabs in the public domain. The French Jewish community harshly condemned Le Pen and her remarks.
Le Pen: "I am not anti-Muslim" Photo Credit: Reuters/Channel 2 News
French right wing political leader Marine Le Pen stated that she wishes to ban kippah-wearing within France. In the past, Le Pen has voiced her opinion against Muslim head coverings such as the hijab. However, this is the first time that she has addressed the Jewish skullcap. "It is clear that if a veil is prohibited, then the kippah should also be prohibited within the public domain," Le Pen stated. "Head coverings should be banned in stores, on public transportation and in the streets."
"It is clear that kippahs are not the issue within our country. But for the sake of equality, they should be prohibited," Le Pen added. "If I requested to ban solely Muslim attire, people would slam me for hating Muslims." As anticipated, the French Jewish community furiously responded to her statement while senior level rabbis called Le Pen despicable.
"The situation in the country has changed. In the past, there was a gentle balance between the religions," said Le Pen. "However, the massive immigration changed that." According to Le Pen, veils and hijabs put people in a "pressure cooker" and create anxiety.

This is just something little I was thinking about. This takes place in the manga after Haru destroys the classroom and tells Yuki about his girlfriend or "ex"-girlfriend. The next day Haru is missing from school and Yuki goes to the Main house to check on him.
Disclaimer – I own nothing
Shouen ai warning and light swearing but that's it.
Haru was in love with Rin. Yuki told himself that over and over.
Haru loved Rin. Not him.
It was so hard to believe after knowing that Haru considered Yuki to be his first love. Maybe Rin had taken Yuki's place in Haru's heart.
Yuki mentally scolded himself. He should be happy for Haru. After all he was his closest friend and Haru had found someone else whom he cared for. It just wasn't Yuki.
'I should be happy,' Yuki thought. 'I don't have to worry about Haru telling people that he loves me anymore. He doesn't need to worry about me anymore. He has her…'
Yuki hung his head and slowly made his way back home after visiting Haru at the main house. When Haru didn't show up for school he had been very worried about him. Turned out he felt the need to stay home and play video games.
Yuki kicked a rock in the road and watched it fly forward. 'Why didn't he tell me? He knows I'll listen to him but he keeps everything so bottled up.'
Having finally reached home, Yuki walked up-stairs to his room to do his homework. He would have time to worry about Haru later.
Yuki rolled over and looked at the clock.
He'd been in bed for four hours trying to sleep. He'd spent four hours tossing and turning. He'd spent four hours listening to the rain. He'd spent four long hours thinking of one thing.
Yuki slid out of bed and quietly walked downstairs. Perhaps a drink would do him some good and then he'd be able to get some rest.
One his way back to his room, Yuki could have sworn he heard a something coming for outside. He listened for a second but didn't hear it again. Deciding it was nothing, Yuki continued up the stairs to his room.
Again, Yuki lied back on his bed and stared at the ceiling. Haru was in love with Rin. That same thought had kept Yuki for getting any sleep the night before but it still kept running through his mind. Haru loved Rin. Haru dated Rin. Haru got dumped by Rin, but he still loved her.
There it was again. The same sound he'd heard downstairs. It sounded like someone cursing outside, but who in their right mind would be outside at this time of night in the rain. Then there was a tap at his window.
Yuki got out of bed and walked over to his window and opened it. He couldn't see very much but there was something very clear directly beneath him on the ground. Haru was down on the ground staring up at him.
It took Yuki a moment to process what he was seeing. He blinked long and hard and again looked down. Sure enough, Haru was out in the middle of the night, in the rain, staring up at Yuki's bedroom window.
Not knowing what exactly to do, Yuki pointed towards the front door. Haru nodded so Yuki shut his window and quietly made his way back downstairs to let Haru in. When he opened the door Yuki paused for a second and looked at the person in front of him. Haru's hair was pressed against his forehead and dripping down his face. All of his clothes were tight against his skin and showed off every inch of his body. Yuki hoped the dark hid his blush as he pulled Haru inside.
"What the hell did you think you were doing out there?" Yuki asked him in a hushed voice. The last thing he wanted was someone to wake up.
"I wanted to come apologize for earlier. You came to see me because you were worried and I'm sorry. I don't want to make you worry about me."
Yuki made a small smile. That was just like Haru to worry about everyone else but to apologize for making others worry. "Come up stairs and I'll give you something dry to wear."
Yuki led the way to his room and found something to wear. "This should fit you," he said as he was about to leave the room. Before he made it through the door Haru stopped him.
"You don't have to leave the room. We've seen each other naked hundreds of times."
It was true. They had changed clothes in front of each other many time but for some reason, Yuki didn't want to see a dripping wet, naked Haru in his room. However, before he could leave, that's what he got. Haru had taken off his shirt and Yuki just stood there hypnotized.
'No,' Yuki thought. 'Don't think of him that way. He's not yours anymore. He's found someone else.' Yuki had to remind him of that. Haru loved someone else. It wasn't right to get to see Haru like that anymore.
Yuki was ripped from his thoughts by a fully dressed Haru. He had placed a hand on Yuki's shoulder. Yuki glanced at the hand and back at Haru.
"You should stay here tonight. I'd hate to hear about you getting lost in the rain on your way home." Haru nodded and Yuki went to his closet to grab some more blankets to make Haru a pallet on the floor.
As he began laying the blankets on the floor Haru spoke. "Why don't we just share a bed? When we were little I used to hold you in bed when you'd stay with me." Again Haru spoke the truth, but with the way Yuki had been thinking the past two nights he didn't know if he wanted Haru so close. He didn't want to be tempted to do something he was going to regret.
Yuki ended up giving in and let Haru sleep beside him. He was given his own blanket though because both of them knew that Yuki was a horrible blanket hog and Haru would wake up in the morning with, at the very most, a corner. Yuki rolled onto his side with his back to Haru and once again tried to sleep. He was trying to think of anything but the person behind him when he felt an arm wrap itself around Yuki's stomach.
"Haru, what are you doing?"
"Holding you." Haru said in an all too innocent voice.
"Yes, but why?"
Haru sighed and his breath tickled the back of Yuki's neck and sent him chills. "You're shivering. I want to keep you warm."
"Haru?" Yuki breathed. Did Haru still care about him? It was possible for Haru to care about both Yuki and Rin. "How do you really about Rin?"
Haru pulled his arm away and sat up. Yuki too sat up on his elbows. "Yuki, I love Rin. I'm not about to tell you otherwise."
Yuki looked into Haru's eyes and asked his next question. "How do you feel about me?"
"I…" Haru looked away from Yuki and stared at his hands that were resting in his lap. He took a deep breath and continued. "You were…are my first love Yuki. No one could ever replace you in my heart. Hell, I even gave up my first kiss to you." Haru laughed at the memory while Yuki blushed.
Well, 11 year olds that aren't aloud to touch girls get very curious.
Yuki thought back on that day and sat up a little more. He looked Haru right in the eye before leaning in to brush his lips against Haru's but stopped before he reached. "I got scared when you told me about Rin. I never thought you could get over how you feel for me but I was afraid you had."
Haru brushed a strand of Yuki's hair behind his ear and held his hand on Yuki's cheek. "Never be afraid of me losing me to anyone. I'm always going to be yours. Now lie back down and let's get some sleep."
"Not yet." Yuki said before leaning forward and placing his lips on Haru's. The two boys sat their silently for a few minutes just slowly kissing one another. It was soft and it was sweet and it was simply perfect. Yuki was the first to pull back and he rested his head against Haru's shoulder.
"I love you Yuki. But now can we go to sleep?"
Yuki did as he was told and they went back to lying down. "I love you too Haru." Yuki whispered before wrapping his arms around Haru and resting his head on Haru's chest.
"I always knew you did." Haru said when a grin on his face. "I just wish I had dated a girl a long time ago so we could have started this a long time ago."
"That is not something I really want to be seeing first thing in the morning."
Yuki opened his eyes and looked across the room to see Kyo standing in his door way. He couldn't figure out what was so bad that would upset him for early. Then Yuki noticed the person Yuki had been sleeping so close to.
Yuki smirked and turned back to Kyo. "You're just jealous because you can't have him." Yuki leaned down and placed a kiss on Haru's still sleeping lips.
"God I hate this house!" Kyo yelled before storming out of the room and down the stairs. When Yuki heard the front door slam he rested his head back on Haru's chest and got ready to dose back off when Haru spoke.
"Was that really necessary?"
Yuki lifted his head and gave Haru another peck on the lips. "Don't worry he'll go cool off."
Haru shook his head. "Not that. Now I have images of Kyo wanting me stuck in my head."
I hope you liked it. I was thinking about writing about their first kiss but I don't know. Well please review.

About me
I'm the author of the book Astounding: John W. Campbell, Isaac Asimov, Robert A. Heinlein, L. Ron Hubbard, and the Golden Age of Science Fiction, which will be released by Dey Street Books, an imprint of HarperCollins, on October 23, 2018. My novels include the thrillers The Icon Thief, City of Exiles, and Eternal Empire, all published by Penguin. On the short fiction side, my stories appear frequently in the magazine Analog Science Fiction and Fact and have been reprinted in Lightspeed and The Year's Best Science Fiction. My essays and nonfiction have been featured in the Los Angeles Times, Salon, Longreads, The Rumpus, and The Daily Beast.
Growing up in Castro Valley, California, I was an avid reader and moviegoer, and I wrote my first novel—of which, thankfully, only one copy survives—at the age of thirteen. My earliest influences included the works of Arthur Conan Doyle, Umberto Eco, Jorge Luis Borges, Douglas R. Hofstadter, Norman Mailer, John Fowles, Robert Graves, Madeline L'Engle, Zilpha Keatley Snyder, and Stephen King; the films of Stanley Kubrick and David Lynch; the Indiana Jones trilogy; and such television shows as Twin Peaks and, above all, The X-Files.
I graduated from Harvard University with a degree in Classics, although I've since managed to forget most of my Latin and all of my Greek. In college, I was a member of the undergraduate literary magazine, where I published my first short fiction, and wrote on a variety of topics, mostly film, for a handful of publications, including the San Francisco Bay Guardian. After graduation, I spent several years at a financial firm based in New York, but ultimately left to pursue a much less lucrative career as a novelist.
As a writer, in addition to the influences I've mentioned above, I'm heavily indebted to Frederick Forsyth, Thomas Harris, James M. Cain, Ian McEwan, Thomas Pynchon, Robert Anton Wilson, Pauline Kael, the films of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, and many other craftsmen and storytellers, including David Mamet and Walter Murch. My favorite book is The Annotated Sherlock Holmes by Arthur Conan Doyle and William S. Baring-Gould; my favorite movies are The Red Shoes, Blue Velvet, and Chungking Express. I currently live in Oak Park, Illinois with my wife Wailin Wong and my daughter Beatrix.

Review | 'The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug' Delivers With Action and Elves
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug is an improvement on its predecessor An Unexpected Journey in almost every way. Not that Tolkien purists will walk away satisfied, mind you; many of the complaints leveled against the first film in Peter Jackson's trilogy may be buoyed by the dragon-studded sequel. Still, it's undoubtedly more enjoyable, if only on a visceral level.
The Desolation of Smaug begins right where Bilbo Baggins and the Company of Dwarves left off: on the run from danger and in pursuit of the Lonely Mountain. The White Orc Azog's minions continue to hunt the Dwarves, all the way through the deadly forest of Mirkwood and down the river to man-dwelling Lake-town. And somewhere out there, unknown to Thorin's traveling band, an even darker force continues to grow in power, with only Gandalf the Grey in a position to stop it.
The journey takes the Dwarves to their intended destination of Erebor, and ever closer to Thorin's prize, the Arkenstone. But in order to reclaim the kingdom and attain the treasure he so desperately seeks, Thorin needs to find a way to overcome the slumbering sky-serpent Smaug — and he has just the Hobbit for the job.
A word of warning: The film hits the ground running, so much so that you'll be lost rather quickly if the events of An Unexpected Journey aren't fresh in your mind. Still, the pacing makes sense, as the central characters are, for the most part, all introduced by now. It remains difficult at times to keep track of who's who among the Dwarves, but the party's pivotal players get their time in the spotlight — most especially Kili (or Sexy Dwarf, as I like to call him), played by Aidan Turner.
Lost in the shuffle is Bilbo himself. Martin Freeman continues to do great work with the role, but there's a greater scope this time around, a wider lens that captures more than An Unexpected Journey ever managed. As a result, Bilbo's journey doesn't feel as clearly defined as it did last time. But the screen time that Bilbo does have, he absolutely dominates, thanks in large to his relationship with the One Ring. In the previous film, Bilbo claimed his "precious" from Gollum, and the ramifications are very much at play in The Desolation of Smaug, leading to some fun surprises in the visual storytelling, and in Freeman's performance.
However, as far as visibility goes, Freeman makes Ian McKellen look like air. Desolation is a letdown for Gandalf fans, as the Grey Wizard appears in only a handful of scenes, off on his own for the vast majority of the run time. That's as it is in the source material (albeit with new scenes added, tied to the Necromancer plot pulled from Tolkien's appendices), but it's disappointing that Gandalf only shows up here and there for a storyline that doesn't advance all that much from where we left it in An Unexpected Journey.
Those disappointments aside, there's a lot to love about this film, especially when it comes to the new faces. Mikael Persbrandt plays the skin-changer Beorn; he's only in a small portion of the movie, but he makes an impression.
The Elves, however, make an even greater impact. As Legolas, Orlando Bloom delivers his best on-screen role since, well, Legolas. It's great to have him back, stuffing arrows in Orcs' faces on the regular. He's accompanied by an alluring Lee Pace as his father Thranduil, the Elvenking, as well as Tauriel, played by Lost veteran Evangeline Lilly. Some fans complained about the casting of Lilly, and groused that Tauriel doesn't exist in the source material. For Tolkien purists, there's likely no budging on the second issue. But as for the first? Lilly all but steals the show as Tauriel, giving Legolas a serious run for his money in the "holy wow that's badass" department. She's a terrific character to watch.
The humans of Lake-town come into play later in The Desolation of Smaug, led by Stephen Fry as the town's Master, and Luke Evans as
Aragorn Lite Bard the Bowman. Both actors do admirable jobs, but pale in comparison to the elegant Elves. But even they can't hold a candle to Smaug.
It takes nearly two hours to get there, but once the titular dragon enters the picture, it's on. Smaug is a force to be reckoned with, brought to terrifying life by Weta Workshop and actor Benedict Cumberbatch, who lent his voice and motion-capture talents to the role. He is, in a word, glorious. He slithers and slides with sinister swagger, his belly full of arrogance and fire. Cumberbatch snarls out every line of dialogue, venom in his burnt-black voice. Smaug more than earns his spot in the title, even if most of the film passes before he arrives.
Beyond the speed of the story and the characters at play, The Desolation of Smaug's strongest suit is the action. Jackson knows how to construct a compelling fight scene, as any Lord of the Rings fan already knows. The spirit and complexity of those epic battles are on full display here, especially during the Mirkwood portions. Admittedly, the Smaug battle gets a little long in the tooth after a while, but never at the expense of the dragon's majesty.
Still, this film won't win over anyone who didn't enjoy An Unexpected Journey. Maybe it's easier to stomach because the first 30 minutes aren't spent on dinner at Bilbo's house. Maybe it's easier to love because the Mirkwood forest gets so deadly so quickly. It's faster and flashier, no doubt about it, but it takes as many leaps from Tolkien's original narrative as the first film. If that was an insurmountable problem for you before, well, the problem remains. But if you wish for nothing more than to meander through Middle-earth while watching some colorful characters hack and slash at each other, all set to an epic Howard Shore score, then your expectations are exactly where they should be.
The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug opens Friday.

Who over us head over heels?
This children's riddle – about Australia, and everything that to habitually inhabitant of the northern hemisphere, at southerners occurs exactly the opposite. For example, the summer in Sydney begins in December, and air temperature in July-August here can reach +30 degrees. In the winter, that is in June, thermometers, as a rule, fix +15 and about that, but there are cases and stronger fall of their indications.
