The harsh realities of life with Aspergers
2 comments:
To be very honest, I usually look for the silver lining. I support and encourage others(sometimes at my own expense) But I don't know how you keep this up. It's so lonely. When the kids grow up and you've battled through being in the middle of their being at odds with him...And you're worn out from realizing that a good role model of Intimacy and trusting love in marriage cannot depend solely on you, it just doesn't give children what they need because they know, they don't miss a thing and they deserve more than a confusing, mostly tense, marriage example. And my friends don't know how I keep it up. Never changes. So at last I am now able to admit that I can't and don't want to anymore. That's it for now. Figure the rest out later. Want to be fair but not manipulated by circumstances beyond my control anymore.ReplyDelete
It's been 26 years. 18 married years.
You are courageous and selflessly trying to make it all work out for everyone. I respect that. And, the fact that you have mentioned openness and vulnerability and moments where Ethan can actually talk to you with all of himself, is so wonderful.
Except that you also need to be received, which I don't read of? But you know all this.
So I bless you for your love and commitment. May your love grow!
You hit the nail on the head at the beginning of your post Laura. When Mr H is away, I can appreciate his better qualities, think of him fondly and almost miss him. He should have been away with work all week but has come home 3 days early due to a major IT glitch, and I have to say I feel somewhat cheated. Since arriving home just over an hour ago, he has been like a prima donna, moaned that the house is chaotic ( well it is because I was supposed to be home alone and was in the middle of a cleaning blitz), moaned that there is no bacon for his breakfast tomorrow ( well there won't be until I shop on Thursday) and is now communing with his beloved TV while I enjoy the last dregs of sunshine before cleaning the kitchen. No point in arguing with him, he'll only sulk. Very difficult to love someone who behaves like this though.ReplyDelete

On 19th-20th October, Petr Kaniok took part in workshop and subsequent conference of the "Negotiating Brexit" project run by Husseim Kassim (University of East Anglia) and Simon Usherwood (University of Surrey).
The project focuses on the impact of Brexit on EU member states and EU institutions. Both the workshop and conference, which took place in London, discussed Brexit preferences of EU member states and EU institutions. Findings of these analyses have been published in a study "Negotiating Brexit: What do the UK´s negotiating partners want?" soon available on-line.

As HMANA's featured hawkwatcher during our Raptorthon this year, I thought I'd try something a little different. HMANA's 40th anniversary conference will be April 25-27 in Rochester, New York, and that is just too exciting an opportunity to let pass. But how can I do a Raptorthon when I'll be busy at the conference?
So here's what I'm going to do. I'm going to count hawks on my drive north to Rochester from my home in southern Pennsylvania on Thursday, April 24. And, once I get to Braddock Bay, I'm going to spend three hours from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, April 26, counting with Luke Tiller, Braddock's regular hawk counter. Luke and I will take donations right there, and we will split the amount we gather between HMANA and Braddock Bay Raptor Research. You can support my Raptorthon, someone else's or start one of your own at http://www.hmana.org/raptorthon/. To support my Raptorthon from the Raptorthon page, click on the Donate to a Raptorthon tab and choose Carolyn Hoffman. Currently, you can also support Braddock Bay and Militia Hill's Raptorthons at the same link.
On the drive to Rochester, I'll be seeing what I can identify from the car, as a way of letting people know you don't have to sit on a hawkwatch to see hawks. I just hope the weather cooperates. Then on Saturday I'll take a brief break from the conference activities to spend a little time on Braddock Bay's platform, trying to see as many species as possible in a short amount of time. I am also hoping that if the weather is uncooperative on one part of my Raptorthon that it will cooperate for the other part.
Would you please consider sponsoring me with a pledge to support HMANA in this our 40th anniversary year? You can sponsor me for a fixed amount, for a specified amount by the number of hawks I see or by the number of species of hawks that I see. The money I raise will be used to support HMANA's regular programs and operations.
I am also planning to Tweet my way north and from atop Braddock's platform, so you can follow along as I try to see as many hawks as I can. I'll be Tweeting at #hmana40 or you can follow me on Twitter at @carolynh07. You can also come and visit while I'm at the Braddock platform if you're coming to the conference, which I hope you will attend. It will be fun!

The joy of our society is that Capitolism works. Regardless of your political stripe if you're reading this then in some way or another you've given money to big corporate. (Unless you live under the freeway, panhandle for change and are reading this at the public library).
What does that mean? It means that companies make money and some (but not all) choose to split the winnings with the shareholders.
Why does that matter to me?
It's very easy to become a shareholder and get some of those profits! Does this make me a "Wall Street" (or Bay street) fat cat? Hardly. My monthly income from my investments barely covers 25% of my monthly budget. (And since most of it is in registered accounts, I don't use it to pay for my groceries.)
Why do you want to become a shareholder? You like money right? Ok ok, you might hate it... But look at it this way, if you buy a small piece of a company that you expect to be around for a very long time then they will send you your share of the profits based on how many shares you own.
For example, in Canada, any of our big banks will no doubt stand the test of time (at least during my lifetime) so if you buy 100 shares of say Scotiabank (full discolsure: I own some!) then based on today's yield will pay you $0.52 per every share you own every quarter. (4 times a year). It works out to approximately 4%.
Did you have to do anything to earn this money? No... aside from opening a brokerage account and scraping up enough money to cover the purchase price of the shares and the trading commission. So once you buy you can sit on it the rest of your life and every 3 months you get $0.52*(number of shares you bought).
Will they change the dividend? Most likely yes, it will go up. Even during the "disaster" of 2008/2009 they kept paying the dividends. They didn't increase the payout, but they didn't decrease them or stop them completely like many other companies.
Does this make you evil for getting profit for doing nothing? I can't answer that one for you.
There are other types of companies that pay a "distribution" but it's essentially the same thing, but it generally arrives monthly AND there may (or may not) be some taxation differences. Mind you if you have your holdings in a registered account than it doesn't matter.
The story is the same: they do something, they make money, they send you your slice.
Now the last part of this posting has to do with fixed income. What does this mean? In the investing world it essentially means BONDS or GICs. Now I'm not talking the "Canada Savings Bonds" of yesteryear that offered decent returns. I'm talking about "real" bonds both corporate and government.
How do bonds work? Well, companies don't just appear magically out of thin air... They essentially all start with one person, or a small collective of people working together to realize their dream of being able to manufacture and sell the best widget ever.
Companies need to borrow money too! (Just like you and me!) So if they are a public company (more on the difference between public and private in a later post) they have a couple ways to do it. If they decide they want to use bonds to do it, they make an offering to the market. Company ABC is offering x number of bonds at a 5% coupon. This means they are offering 5% interest. There are terms to how long the bond takes to mature etc etc. but that's about it. You would BUY the bond from them to get the interest payout. You can also sell the bond back to the market before maturity if you need the money back without any penalties. (There ARE trading commissions on bond trades though)
Bonds do go up and down in price a bit (or a lot if the company or country sucks) representing the RISK that you (the investor) might be exposed to when you want to get your money back.
So if you bought Greek Bonds because they were offering 9% interest last year at this time, then sorry my friends you've lost at least half of your money! But if you had bought government of canada bonds, or bonds from Telus, or Bell, or BMO or Scotia or hundreds of other well run boring Canadian companies then you would be sitting pretty. The yields (how much they pay you) is of course somewhat lower but that's just the way the cookie crumbles. You have to carefully consider what company you're lending your money too. Just like people, not all companies or countries are responsible debtors. They ran up their debts on booze or hookers and now are pleading poor.
So, the more risk the higher the yield.
That's about it for bonds... Mind you most of you folks I'm writing this blog for shouldn't be thinking about bonds. You just don't have enough money to do it! There are easier ways to do it such as the Bond ETFs from Claymore. (Some of them you can trade without commission with Scotia iTrade!) They do the busy work, take a TINY percentage (0.25% for the corporate bond funds and 0.15% for the government ones) of your distribution and you don't have to do ANYTHING. They are excellent products for the risk-adverse investor.
But if you're still young, beautiful, (and a little stupid) you don't need to worry about bonds yet... Think about them when you hit your mid 30s. They should be accumulated slowly as time goes on and the commission free ones from iTrade/Claymore are the PERFECT way to do it. You can buy a handful of units at a time every month.
Disclaimer: I'm writing this article to HELP you. If you do something stupid based on my advice without thinking it through yourself, then you have only yourself to blame. Plus if you try to sue me for bad advice I don't have any money either, so good luck with that. Seriously people, stop making your lawyers rich... they don't need the cash! WE DO! If you get burned a couple times, it's a learning experience. Just try to remember to NOT fall in love with your holdings.

Lori Mirek left this summer after a brief tenure as senior vice president and general manager of Netscape Business Solutions for AOL, the company confirmed. Prior to AOL's acquisition of Netscape in March, Mirek was Netscape's senior vice president of marketing.
Mirek left to pursue other opportunities following a "little bit of a reorganization and reallocation of resources" in her division, an AOL representative said today. AOL declined to comment further, but a source close to the company said Mirek was not happy with the position that remained after the reorganization.
Mirek could not be reached for comment.
In the August reorganization, AOL moved Netscape Business Solutions, responsible for sales of Netscape's e-commerce products to AOL partners and other customers, from under the oversight of AOL Interactive Services chief operating officer Mayo Stuntz to that of Netcenter division head Jim Martin. Mirek was not replaced.
Mirek is hardly alone among Netscape executives who have left AOL or scaled back their duties significantly since the acquisition. Just last week, key Netscape executive Barry Ariko said he was stepping down from his role as deputy general manager representing AOL and Netscape in the Sun-AOL alliance, but that he would remain at AOL for the time being.
After acquiring Netscape in March, AOL trumpeted the roles that Mirek, Ariko, Netscape cofounder Marc Andreessen, and Netcenter general manager Mike Homer would play in the new organization. In a statement, AOL said Mirek would have "significant responsibilities in the Interactive Services Group."
Six months later, Mirek is gone, Ariko has given up his position, Marc Andreessen has relinquished his title as AOL's chief technology officer, and Homer has stepped aside as general manager of Netcenter. In addition to these developments, a substantial exodus followed the merger.

Understand guideline and funding cycles
MacArthur publishes program guidelines to help applicants determine whether their idea for a grant fits within a particular grantmaking strategy.
As a general rule, applicants should base this decision on three related criteria that appear in program guidelines: the topical focus addressed by the grantmaking strategy; the geographic area covered by the grantmaking strategy; and, finally, the type of funding (i.e., general operating support, research, program support, etc.) that supports the grantmaking strategy.
Like most strategic grantmaking foundations, the MacArthur Foundation considers funding only those applications that closely match the topical, geographic, and funding criteria for a specific grantmaking strategy.

Like most strategic grantmaking foundations, the MacArthur Foundation considers funding only those applications that closely match the topical, geographic, and funding criteria for a specific grantmaking strategy.
Please note: Application guidelines for documentary film funding differ from guidelines for other MacArthur grantmaking strategies. Please precisely follow the instructions below for documentary film proposals.
OverviewMacArthur's goal in media grantmaking is to provide the public with high-quality, professionally-produced documentary films, deep and analytical journalism, and well-produced news and public affairs programming. In a media environment characterized by proliferating information sources of varying degrees of reliability, the Foundation seeks to support serious, fact-based journalism for television, radio and the web, the type of original reporting that is likely to be blogged about, linked to, tweeted, and otherwise circulated throughout the Internet. Programs supported by the Foundation inform and educate their viewers about important and under-reported topics, provide balance and accurate information, encourage global conversations, and use technology to tell stories in engaging and interactive ways.
Key staff officers for this program are Media, Culture, and Special Initiatives Vice President Elspeth Revere and Media, Culture, and Special Initiatives Director Kathy Im. Inquiries about grantmaking should be sent to firstname.lastname@example.com.
Documentary FilmsMacArthur supports the production of social-issue documentary films on important contemporary topics, intended for a broad audience, particularly in the U.S. Over the last 30 years, we have supported over 200 films by some of the most critically acclaimed filmmakers in the country. Their documentary work combines exceptional storytelling with in-depth journalism. Many of these films have had a long life beyond festivals and broadcast, and been used in educational, community, and policymaking settings over many years, sparking conversations and activities that contribute to social and policy change.
Open Call for Documentary Film Proposals
The Media, Culture, and Special Initiatives program is accepting proposals for documentary film projects between Monday, August 6, 2012 and Friday, September 7, 2012. Apply now.
This is a highly selective process. We see many more qualified projects than we are able to fund, and must make difficult choices. In each round, the Foundation is able to support just 8-12 projects, from the 300-400 proposals submitted.
Please read the following instructions and criteria carefully. We have a very small staff to review what is typically a large number of proposals. In order to successfully conduct an open call process, we must rely on your help in applying only if you think that your project fully meets the MacArthur Foundation's criteria. If you decide to apply, please help us further by following the instructions meticulously.
- Begin by completing an electronic cover sheet. Proposals must be submitted electronically via firstname.lastname@example.com with "Documentary Grant Proposal: [YOUR ORG'S NAME]" in the subject line (e.g., Documentary Grant Proposal: Hopeful Films). Be sure that any links to sample work are active, you provide the password, and the link remains active through March 2013.
- Proposals will not be accepted prior to August 6, 2012 or after 11:59pm CST on September 7, 2012. Please do not wait until the last minute. This can cause systems to become overtaxed and to break down.
- Due to the high volume of submissions combined with a very small staff for this program, the Foundation cannot respond to phone or email inquiries about the criteria or process. Please read the criteria and guidelines (and FAQ section) carefully and proceed using your best judgment.
In selecting documentary films for support, the Foundation looks for projects that:
- Address important, contemporary social topics – international or domestic
- Follow an issue over time, providing in-depth reporting that goes beyond conventional news coverage
- Utilize compelling personal stories to engage viewers and create empathy
- Appeal to a broad audience because they are accessible, interesting, and balanced (i.e., they treat different points of view respectfully)
- Are factually correct and follow best practices in journalism
- Align with MacArthur's programmatic interests in the U.S. and International Grantmaking areas
- Have a strong likelihood of broadcast in the U.S. and elsewhere, and thoughtful plans for broad dissemination in educational, community, or policy settings
- Are led by experienced U.S.-based filmmaking teams that have past success in bringing a documentary project to successful completion and reaching broad U.S. audiences
Please read this section carefully and follow the instructions closely. Do not refer to instructions about applying for grants in other parts of the MacArthur website, which may be different from the guidelines provided here.
If you are working on multiple projects, you may submit more than one project for consideration. However, each proposal must be sent separately. Please read over the criteria carefully and submit only those projects that closely meet the Foundation's selection criteria.
If you submitted a proposal for a documentary project in December 2011 and that project was not funded, please refer to your letter from the Foundation before re-submitting a proposal for the same project. If you were instructed not to re-apply, please do not resubmit a proposal for the same project.
Your proposal must include FOUR parts; please label them accordingly:
Part 1 – Cover sheet & sample of work-in-progress
Please complete the electronic cover sheet and include a link to your sample work-in-progress video.
Part 2 – Description of the film
- In this section, please describe the film in greater detail, providing a clear sense of the film's theme, format, structure, style, and point of view. Please also describe the intended audience for the film and what you expect to be the likely broadcast and distribution vehicle for the film.
Please include the current status of the project and explain how MacArthur funds will be used to advance the project.
This section of the proposal should be NO LONGER THAN 6 PAGES in normal type. If your project proceeds to the semi-final round of review, you will be contacted and asked to submit a fuller treatment.
Please include a detailed budget for the project, including a list of income sources (with amounts).
Part 4 – Production personnel
Please submit a short bio of each of the key production personnel. If you are able to provide a link to a more detailed bio or filmography, please provide the link. If your previous work is available for online viewing, please provide the link. (Do not send DVDs of previous work.)
This section of the proposal should be NO LONGER THAN 1 PAGE.
The Foundation's Response
As soon as you submit your proposal to firstname.lastname@example.com, you will receive an automatic acknowledgment email stating that your proposal has been successfully submitted. If you do not receive that acknowledgement within 48 hours, please let us know by sending a message email@example.com. Please do not call.
Between September 2012 and November 2012, the Foundation's staff will be reviewing the proposals and selecting a group of semi-finalists. Applicants in the semi-final round are likely to be contacted by the Foundation staff for more information. Between December 2012 and January 2013, the Foundation will work with a panel of reviewers to make its final selections. We expect to notify the grant recipients and to make a public announcement by March 2013.
We recognize that this is a long waiting period, however, we are committed to reviewing each proposal carefully and thoroughly, and with our small staff, this takes a great deal of time. If you have significant updates on your project (funding, awards, etc.) you may send them to the Foundation using the same address and heading. These updates will not be acknowledged but we will add them to the proposal.
For documentary film projects that are not selected for funding, we will notify the applicants by email by February or March 2013, if not sooner.
Due to the high volume of anticipated proposals, the Foundation will not be able to provide updates to applicants during the review process. Please do not call or email us; we will not be able to respond to inquiries about individual projects or provide updates on our process or timeline. In addition, the size of our staff makes it impossible to provide feedback on project proposals or detailed explanations of our decisions.

VerseD: Hebrews 10:24
and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds,
Hebrews 10:24, NASB
One of the reasons we gather as the Church is to encourage each other in doing good things for others, as Christ did for us.

and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds,
Hebrews 10:24, NASB
One of the reasons we gather as the Church is to encourage each other in doing good things for others, as Christ did for us.
Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit, He takes away; and every branch that bears fruit, He prunes it so that it may bear more fruit.
John 15:2, NASB
Not all who call themselves Christians truly are. We can put on a good show, but God knows our hearts, and He judges our actions, or lack thereof.
God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.
Genesis 1:27, NASB
We have been made to be creative and with the ability to do good things. Seek after the One who made us in His image to develop that image in us.
Now those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires.
Galatians 5:24, NASB
We can not grow in Christ if we refuse to let go of our sinful desires. Christ died to remove our sins, not to remove all penalty if we choose to keep sinning.
Give up your evil desires, or you have not really accepted Christ, merely used Him.
"Therefore everyone who hears these words of Mine and acts on them, may be compared to a wise man who built his house on the rock.
Matthew 7:24, NASB
On Christ the solid rock we stand … if only we believe this Son of God came and died for our sins, as He said.
Every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow.
James 1:17, NASB
God does not change nor tempt with evil.
He only gives good gifts, generally to all, but specifically to His people. Most specifically, He gives grace and salvation.
Then Jesus said to His disciples, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross and follow Me.
Matthew 16:24, NASB
Christianity is not a simple "Just believe, and all is good" faith. Jesus expects us to deny ourselves and look more like Him, to turn aside from sin and sacrificially love others.

How do we define our sense of belonging?
And what happens in those moments when an absence is felt or a new presence enters?
The notion of belonging emerged when I moved from my home town of Melbourne to pursue the long held dream of living in 'the country'.
Suddenly everything was unfamiliar and the long process of taking root began through moments of repetition and re-tracing experiences until they became familiar; a street corner that was visited every morning or weekend trips that allowed me to slowly have the courage to take the backroads.
During this time, almost daily, a group of birds began to visit the electrical wires outside my window. For the next 9 months I began recording their visits. I wanted to know what their interaction would sound like if their movement across the wires was translated into notes on a page and discover what the effect was when one left or came, when they jumped about, gathered in groups or sat patiently out on their own.
More and more, living out on a new limb and finding new connections, I have begun to treasure the fleeting and mundane moments. Sharing a cup of tea, a walk or a meal. In order to explore this idea I asked those people who have been birds on my wire to choose objects of significance to them and used these as inspiration for a series of still lives.
Through these works I have attempted to capture the value of simple objects, symbols of how we come to understand ourselves and express who we are to the outside. More recently I have drawn inspiration from the changing environment of Gippsland as my eye moved out of the inner world of the city and into a larger arena of the regional landscape.

Sample research paper is all you need
Term paper writing is always a tough affair for those individuals taking it for the first time and looking to perform it perfectly. Getting to write a term paper right can only come to fruition if the right follow ups are made and implemented to the finer details. This is the reason as to why a sample research paper is all you need since it gives you a sneak preview of what is expected and how the same can be manipulated to produce a master class of writing that will awe the audience in focus. The major points of note in a sample term paper include;
- Organization
- Quality
- Sensible thoughts outlay
A sample term paper gives a direct and physically structured program that allows you to understand what is expected of a term paper and how it should reflect after completion of the task. The organization covers aspects from topic creation and presentation and the element of focus that should be given to the writing process. Organization of a research paper gives a particular idea of what a research paper entails and the outlook that is supposed to be exhibited.
Quality is the master stroke that a sample research paper covers. The quality gives a person the general idea of what should be done and the tones of caution that should be concentrated on if a term paper need to manifest as the perfect manuscript. The quality shone in a sample paper also gives an individual the particular points of focus that should be exploited if the point is to be driven home with the right stress and vehemence that will prove beneficial.
A sample research paper gives a writer the way in which they can be able to plan and arrange their thoughts and assumptions into a mode that will be understood perfectly. In general one effect and knowledge speck should lead to the other which will culminate in the term paper representing the exact message that was intended. This marks the plan in which an individual is supposed to schedule the ideas and be inclined to the same so that they provide a quality understandable manuscript in the end. Thoughts are meant to flow and give a clear picture of the mission and the objective that was intended without compromising on the quality of the term paper. This is the exact factor that is captured by the sensible outlay factor in the sample research papers.

This edition: Early Global Commodities
Episode Details
What is globalization and when did it begin? Before the sixteenth century, the world's four main monetary substances were silver, gold, copper, and shells. But it was China's demand for silver and Spain's newly discovered mines in the Americas that finally created an all-encompassing network of global trade.

Skyline Trail to the top of Hickory Nut Falls
The old Skyline Trail from Exclamation Point to the top of Hickory Nut Falls was closed in 2008 due to structural issues. Parks staff has started dismantling the old Skyline Trail and laying out a new route to the top of Hickory Nut Falls. The Friends of Chimney Rock State Park are assisting with raising funds and clearing this new section of trail. Regaining access to the top of Hickory Nut Falls is the Friends' number one project.
Rumbling Bald Loop Trail
The old logging roads at the Rumbling Access have provided poor hiking access for years. The Friends of Chimney Rock State Park have raised funds and assisted in completing the first phase of the Rumbling Bald Loop Trail. The Friends will continue to fund and provide volunteer labor this fall as phase two completes the loop and provides ample access for both hikers and climbers.
Invasive Species Management-Goats!
Invasive species are plants that are non-native to the park and are threating the biodiversity and natural communities that we all treasure. The Friends assist Park Rangers as they cut and treat invasive plants and try and restore these natural communities.
This year the Friends are partnering with the park, Chimney Rock Management LLC, and the Weed Action Coalition of Hickory Nut Gorge (WACNG) link and using goats to assist with the removal of a 2-acre patch of Kudzu found near the top of Chimney Rock State Park.
Management Support
The management board of Friends of Chimney Rock State Park is seeking individuals with any interest in supporting this friends group in the form of leadership, communications, accounting, secretarial, volunteer coordination, fund raising, grant writing, event planning, and event staffing. The board oversees planning and meets quarterly. All board members are non-paid volunteers who are dedicated to assisting with the future of this friends group and supporting Chimney Rock State Park.
Rogue Ranger Volunteer Program
Have you ever wanted to be a park ranger? The Rogue Ranger Volunteer Program is a Friends of Chimney Rock State Park-sponsored volunteer program where volunteers assist rangers with some of their most rewarding job duties. These opportunities include marking uncharted territories, bushwhacking new trails, battling invasive plants, renewing recreational opportunities, and socializing at local events!

Article 5 VAT (Special Provisions) Order 1995: Has there been the transfer of a business or just a sale of assets?: Trading patterns
In order to determine whether a TOGC has occurred, it is important to pay attention to whether a business is actually trading at the time of the transfer.
Continuity of Former Business
In order for a business to be transferred it clearly must still be in existence at the time the transfer takes place. The business does not need to be a flourishing business. Even if the business has been scaled down due to financial difficulties or in anticipation of a sale there may still be a business to transfer (Baltic Leasing (LON/84/198)). In order to be regarded as "dead" we would normally expect such evidence as all employees having been made redundant, orders no longer being accepted/sought, supplies ceasing (see below).
J P Neville (LON/92/2527A) worked as a self-employed metal worker in the building industry. Most of his business was through a sub-contractor (Claydon). Claydon had financial difficulties due to the collapse of his main contractor and ceased to trade. Neville renegotiated the contracts with the new owners of the buildings including re-pricing the work. In order to fulfil these contracts he bought steel from Claydon. He also arranged with the landlord to become tenant of the property formerly occupied by Claydon. The tribunal found that the Claydon's business had not been transferred as a going concern. He had disposed of his equipment and premises and had made his staff redundant. The parties with whom he had contracted had collapsed owing him money and goodwill was non existent. The business had therefore died. All he had left was the steel which did not constitute a business in its own right (see VTOGC6050).
Profitability/ Cessation of Trading
The expression "a going concern" is commonly used to describe a business which is commercially viable. This is NOT the way in which tribunals have interpreted the term for the purposes of the TOGC provisions. Their view is that the term refers to a business which is live or operating. A business which is in financial difficulties or even in liquidation, receivership or bankruptcy can be a going concern. This principle was confirmed in Dearwood (STC 327/1987) where the High Court found that a dying business, in liquidation was nevertheless transferred as a going concern.
If a business ceases to trade before it is sold, there may be a question as to whether it is a going concern. As with a break of trading after the purchase, the kind of business involved is very important. In Thruxton Parachute Club (LON/84/331) the sporadic nature of parachuting was seen as being an important consideration in deciding that the former business had not completely died and was therefore capable of being transferred as a going concern. If a seasonal business has been closed during what is normally the closed season, it may still be a going concern. For example, they may be advertising for customers, accepting bookings for when they reopen etc.
In contrast, the business may cease only immediately before the sale, but because the business has effectively disappeared, the transaction may not be a TOGC.
Break in Trade
It is not necessary for the new business to follow on immediately from the old for there to be a TOGC, although to have done so is an indication that a TOGC has taken place.
The 'break in trade' needs to be considered in the context of the type of business concerned, this may vary between different types of trade or activity. For example, HMRC do not consider that where a 'seasonal' business has closed for the 'off-season', as normal at the time of sale, that there has necessarily been a break in trade.
With pubs and restaurants there is often a break during which the premises are refurbished before trading starts again. In Harber (LON/94/972) the pub was left in such a state that the new owner could not begin to trade for several days. Despite this gap and the fact that different beer and food were sold it was held to be a TOGC. A similar decision was reached in a comparable case, Lyall t/a Old Red Lion Restaurant (LON/83/28).
Again the relative importance to be attached to a break in trading will depend on the other facts of the case. In Montrose (EDN/87/98) it was held a 2 month break before the new owner began trading was not significant. A TOGC had taken place as all other factors pointed in that direction. The purchaser took over the shop premises, stock, fixtures and fittings, available staff and the name of the transferor company.
Yet again if the purchaser of a seaside boarding house bought the property in November but did not open until April, the 5 month break of trading would not necessarily be significant, in the context of normal trading patterns. However, a 5 month break of trade following the purchase of a newsagents probably would be significant.

Bruce Pashak, Dionysus in India I, oil and graphite on canvas
I had to be in Vancouver on Tuesday so I invited Mrs. Stepford to come with me as company for the long ride. I had a couple of chores to do.
I had to pick up some photos at the Big Box department store in Coquitlam and, in Vancouver, mats to frame my entry to the Painting on the Edge exhibition.
Let me do a plug for my favourite framers. They are great people and reasonably priced – Final Touch Frames on Fourth at Quebec Street. While I was there, I looked through the pre-cut mats in search of a bargain and true to form, always I found a few 8-ply acid free ones to take home. I love matting things up in 8 ply.
We had the rest of the day to explore the galleries, a rare treat in itself. This month , it was Drawing Month – a celebration of drawing in lieu of paintings – in several of the best commercial galleries in Vancouver. Even the Burnaby Art Gallery had a focus on drawings with an exhibition of B.C. Binning. He was a founding professor of the School of Architecture at UBC. For a biography, B.C. Binning is in Wikipedia and there is a separate site through Google for images, though few are drawings on it.
I've seen this latter exhibition three times now, it is so good. It's just drawings, but such good ones. I took Elizabeth to see that exhibition today and she came away with a new understanding of the excitement of drawings. Binning's are so direct, curiously incorrect (anatomically, realistically incorrect), but so spot on that they are a delight to inspect.
On Tuesday, though, we had a list of about six galleries to go to. We started with the Elliott Louis Gallery especially since Mrs. Stepford had studied with Bruce Pashak who figured largely in the exhibition. I had seen his studio with her at the Parker Street Studios in the Downtown East Side both before and during the Vancouver East Cultural Crawl. I was just as excited as she about seeing his work in a gallery setting.
The Elliott Louis Gallery has moved recently and now can be found a block east of Main Street below Great Northern Way in a warehouse district. Both the Elliott Louis and the Catriona Jeffries Galleries are here, side by side, with exciting contemporary work.
Bruce Pashak's drawings are full of things to look at. First of all, he has a stunning sense of draftsmanship. In the largest of his works, a diptych, there were two panels about six feet by four feet. The entire canvas area is prepped with gesso and paint and then Pashak draws in graphite on top of this preparation.
Bruce Pashak, Equivocal Litanies, Oil on Canvas 64 x 96 inches
In the centre is a female figure, lithe and beautifully formed wearing a diaphanous garment. At her buttocks is an apparatus that appears to be a bustle, from afar, but on close inspection is a complicated image which I tool to be a bird-wing's skeletal structure morphing as it descended the picture plane into a network of roads like on a map. Is this bird's wing an implication of angelic status?
A bird hovers before the woman's breast, beak perilously close to the nipple, creating a tension, conveying an uncomfortable physical sensation to the viewer of how that might feel if the two actually made contact.
A third of either end of the two panels is collaged in a rather Rauchenbergian abstract composition incorporating dribbles of coloured paint, letters and paper cut-outs. On the right hand panel just left of this abstract statement are several animals drawn in graphite, stacked one on top of each other in a totem pole fashion – rabbits, fish, salamander, snake, a duck and new born puppies. Each is so fitted together so that it appears to be copulating with the one above.
It's a bizarre but beautiful collection of images making the viewer somewhat voyeuristic at the latent sexual tension in it and at the same time, there is a tremendous peacefulness in it as if the woman and the bird have been frozen in time forever for our close inspection of natural and youthful beauty.
The piece is full of dichotomies. In the technical execution of the work, the loose, expressionistic outer edges of the panel opposes the tight realism of the animal totem, the bird and the figure. In the subject matter, the realism of the central images compete with the random-seeming, loose and non-representational ones on the far edges . But the integration of drawing techniques and painting techniques marry seamlessly. The Drawing/painting reads well as an image from afar and provides intricacies and fine detail to be enjoyed when close up.
Pashak's figure images appear to be drawn from Greco-Roman or Renaissance imagery. He executes them in graphite directly on the canvas. In other drawing/paintings in this exhibition, the faces seem to be constructed in a grisaille technique with fine layering of a light grey glaze built up to produce a refined, anatomically-accurate image. It looks almost like a pale black and white photograph, but is finely hand crafted.
Bruce Pashak Dionysus in India II Oil on Canvas, 16 x 12 inches
Several of Pashak's images were included in this exhibition. Themes run through them, with turbaned heads, skeletal structures, historical referencing and his attention to human anatomy.
Andrew Tong, Ring-a-ring-a-Rosie, Pencil on illustration board, 8 x 7 inches
Andrew Tong showed small illustrative drawings that depict nursery rhymes – Ring-a-Ring-a- Rosie, Little Miss Muffet, Humpty Dumpty, and Mary Mary. These are not sweet children's illustrations. There is a twist of horror just under the surface. In Mary Mary, the figure is gently holding a fly in her hands as if it were an offering. Her head and torso are correct, but after a minute of inspection, you see that the legs coming out of her skirt are spider's legs. Humpty Dumpty has a flying fish hovering above his head. In one image there is a broken and dismembered doll tucked discretely at the bottom for a person to discover after they have ingested the primary image in the drawing. In another, there is a hand crawling out of a large sea-snail's shell. One of the figures is wearing a gas mask.
Tong's drawings are uniquely drawn in graphite on paper. They are crisply detailed and clean, like exquisite miniatures and reminiscent of Hieronymous Bosch.
Scott Plumbe, Farm House, pencil on paper, 8 x 10 inches
Scott Plumbe also is drawing minutiae in small perfectly executed graphite drawings. In an eight by ten inch drawing called Farm House, he has depicted an interior with bushel and woven baskets stored on shelving. The weaving on each basket is described in the finest of detail, as is the wood grain on the end wall. They are simply amazing, technically, in their hyper-realism but so complete that there is little dreaming or thinking to be done after first view.
I much enjoyed Carolyn Stockbridge's series of Blue Cloud drawings. There is a series of about six images on 26 x 20 paper, each containing a blue cloud. Beneath the cloud is a garden. In one, there is a shower, complete with a bathroom shower head streaming water into the ground, nourishing the plants, and continuing directly down under the ground to become roots. In another there is a rock garden, not in the traditional sense, but with a quirky sense of humour, Stockbridge piles pebbles one on top of the other like plant stems and like Inushuk, the Inuit standing stones. A garden tool, an edger, connects the blue cloud to the soil, acting as a tree trunk so that the cloud is both cloud and tree. There's a lot of delightful cleverness and visual punning in these drawings.
Carolyn Stockbridge, Blue Cloud and rock garden, mixed media, 26 x 20
Her work is inventive with a keenly personal iconography as is Nancy Boyd's. It's supported by excellent drawing skills, so that where precision is required, both artists are able to meet this challenge, but where they chose to use loosely described or abstracted marks, there is an equal measure of liberty in the mark making.
Nancy Boyd Against the cold #9, mixed media on drawing paper, 38 x 25
Nancy Boyd's series is called Against the Cold. A plant with long sword shaped leaves is wrapped at its base in a blanket to protect the roots from the cold. The drapery of the cloth wrap is described tonally in soft graphite only and then the plant is line drawn in graphite and coloured with light green watercolour washes. Four of a series of ten drawings are on display, each approximately 26 x 20 inches.
Nancy Boyd, After Muybridge: Animals in motion, graphite on paper, 21 x 37
Another of Boyd's series, After Muybridge: Animals in motion spins off the work of Eadweard Muybridge, an early photographer fascinated by motion. Muybridge was challenged to prove whether or not a horse ever undertook unsupported motion during his gallop. Muybridge devised a method of making simultaneous photographs as the horse ran, there by providing the first proof that the horse actually did lift all four limbs off the ground as part of its running motion.
In Boyd's work, she uses two stuffed toys connected by a string and pulls one up while the other one descends. She records five positions as the toy elephant and the toy rabbit rotate through this rotational process. The toys have personality. In the first and second positions, the elephant seems to be helping the rabbit down. In the third the rabbit seems to be helping heft the elephant up and in the fourth the rabbit seems to be worrying about whether or not the elephant will make it. In the fifth, the elephant is now up and rabbit seems to be exhausted from the endeavour.
In After Muybridge No 2, Gibbon turning While Pinned a toy gibbon turns, again in a series of five images. The drawing is impeccable. The shadows add to the strength of the composition. There is no hesitation in her work. It's beautiful.
Teresa Sapergia, Untitled (Deer), graphite on paper, 58×32 inches
Teresa Sapergia draws large. Her magnificent unframed works are of animals, with graphite as the medium.She explains herself thus: " I am interested in that fleshy body that lifts, falls, hovers and searches for its own likeness, a figuration that wants to find similarity within an image made of marks and dust. The transient form that is at once animal, magical, fantastical and ordinary."
A reminder of Durer's famous rabbit, Sapergia's rabbit drawing is the only one of her six drawings in the exhibition that is static. Her drawing, Hawk and Owl, faces one raptor against the other in flight, caught in an angry tension of fight. She is adventurous in her use of her medium, as much drawing with it as with the eraser that takes away what she has already drawn. It gives a lively, dynamic feel, echoing the dynamic spirit of the animals she chooses to portray.
The deer drawing is unusual with only the leaping deer appearing. There is no context to help the viewer "place" the animal. I rather like this elliptical approach where the view is asked to participate in the imagery. What has frightened the deer? The drawing, again full of tension, demands that the viewer contemplate where the feet will land and will the deer find purchase on the ground for the next adrenaline filled leap, because this animal is in flight for it's life.
Teresa Sapergia, Three Wolves, detail, graphite on paper, 58 x 96 inches
In Three wolves. again there is no context, no extraneous background; and the drawing is filled with aggressive tension. The mark making is literally pounded onto the surface, then some removed again with eraser to create a dynamic, bristling fur texture. The viewer is face to face with three nasty, hungry wolves at eye level. Eat or be eaten!
Derek Dunlop, Palm I, mixed media on paper, 30 x 22
Derek Dunlop draws in a post-modernist elliptical manner, as if traced around an object. He is drawing with subjectivity, borrowing his images from various media including television news and reality programs. His drawing is the antithesis of Scott Plumbe's. There is no particularity. In fact, most of the imagery is difficult to read and his artist statement does not seem to be compatible with the imagery.
Jeremiah Birnbaum, The Irony of Protection II, charcoal on canvas 24 x 24 inches
Jeremiah Birnbaum also has an artist statement that does little to explain his imagery. Only in his comparison to passport photos does the statement link to the work. Four large drawings, each with one frontally pose face, drawn on gessoed canvas stare back at the viewer in a lifeless expression. Tonally, the images have a very limited mid-range and compositionally, I found them unengaging.
Lastly, Mandy Boursicot exhibits several drawings in a French Ninteenth Century Academic style of the studio masters' anatomy lessons. There is no question. Boursicot knows how to draw. She draws with precision and accuracy but for me, idea is missing. In her artist statement, she speaks of the importance of shadow and things to come. I see beautifully crafted figures in a Century old style. I think Boursicot has much to offer, but it is, as she says, in things to come.
Mandy Boursicot, Valentina seated, graphite on paper, 17 x 10.5 inches
This is an exhibition not to be missed. It represents several methods of drawing, running the gamut from abstract to hyper-realism and passing by the illustrative, which, by the way, I have no trouble including in Fine Art when it meets the quality evident in this show. It is on for the most of August. Try to find time to go there. And if you are a buyer of art, you may just find something within the means of your pocket book. Wouldn't it be wonderful to have one of these in your own home to marvel at?

This sample is a mix of traditional and digital. The drawing was done with ink on bristol, then scanned and coloured in Manga Studio. I am really impressed with the MS brush engine; the oil brushes are great, and I still need to play more with the watercolour brushes.

Tom Jurich for governor!ReplyDelete
He's amazing.ReplyDelete
Right now, Louisville has the number one overall seed in men's basketball, a spot in the Sweet 16 in women's basketball, and a top 10 team in baseball. This is only a few months after Louisville crushed Florida to win the Sugar Bowl in football. And it's not much longer until Louisville will join the ACC.ReplyDelete
It is simply amazing how much better Jurich is than his "competitors." It's like he's playing chess while everyone else plays checkers.

January 2018 HF SIG Operating Event
January 2018 HF SIG Operating Event
Tom Mix was the greatest of the silent-era movie cowboys, and a cowboy in real-life as well. He reportedly could knock a button off of a shirt with a rifle shot, and jump a horse into a railroad box car. He was married seven times to six different women.
On January 6, OVARC will operate K7T from the Tom Mix Memorial on Pinal Pioneer Parkway near historic Florence, AZ. The memorial is a roadside picnic area on Hwy 79 near the site where Tom Mix died after his Cord 812 convertible crashed into what is now designated the Tom Mix Wash while bridge construction was incomplete. The single-car high-speed accident led to his death after leaving the Oracle Junction Inn on October 12, 1940.
There is a picnic shelter but no restrooms or power. Setup will begin around 9:00am.
If you have any questions contact

Bishop Gakumba "demystifies" Awere Hills
Climbing the hill
Bishop Johnson Baptizing on the Hill
UPDF Soldiers patrolling Awere Hills during the LRA war
Written by Acholi Times Correspondent
Monday, 26 September 2011 01:16
The Anglican Gulu Bishop Johnson Gakumba last Sunday climbed Awere Hills and baptized four children as a way of demystifying Joseph Kony's alleged spiritual powers.
It claimed the Lord's Resistance Army rebel leader Gen Joseph Kony turned Awere Hills, located about 60km south-east of Gulu town along the Gulu-Moroto Road, an epicentre of his two-decade brutal war.
Furthermore, it is alleged Kony received instructions to start the war while atop Awere Hills and frequently visited the area to allegedly speak to his spirits on how to defeat the government forces and sustain the war.
The LRA rebel leader, who hails from Odek village in Awere sub-county in Omoro county; just a few meters from the Awere Hills, was also reportedly using the place for treating his fighters using water and herbs from the hills.
Bishop Gakumba on Sunday baptized four children- Jonhson Ouma, Geoffrey Kinyera, Francis Watmon, and Eunice Lakot on top of the hills, in what he said was a sign that the hills are no longer a source of fear and suffering.
Quoting from the Bible, the bishop said "the rock is God's creation and He has given full authority for human beings to benefit from it."
George Aligech Lapir, a resident of the area says that no one believed that the hills had some supernatural powers but they became famous when Kony launched his rebellion from the area in 1987. Lapir says apart from the Eastern side having foot marks, there is nothing peculiar about the 100m tall hills. He said that propaganda has tarnished the name of the area and that no God could have given Kony instructions on the Hill.
The top of the hills was left unattended throughout the two-decade war until late in 2009, when it became clear that Kony would not come back to the area to consult his alleged mediums.

Sally Walton's Travels
I had been told the weather prediction for my week in Wales was cloudy with chance of sunshine, sunshine with chance of showers or conditions variable. In fact, my friend picked me up at Heathrow for the 3-4 hr drive to West Wales on the hottest, sunniest day of the otherwise rainy summer.
The next morning we headed off for a walk, I in a pair of borrowed Wellington's which were slightly too big for me. As I struggled to get through a muddy bog, one Wellie stayed in the knee-high ooze, as I toppled in the mud. My clean new clothes for this walking trip were covered with mud, and all this before breakfast!
Each day we set out in a slightly different direction to explore sea side resorts, castles, standing stones, mountains, villages, several towns, old churches, a cheese factory, woolen mill, most of these along small narrow roads. I fell in love with the River Teifi winding it's way through many towns and villages that we visited, and providing delightful picnic spots and walks along its banks.
Every day's adventures also included a stop at a local pub with varying choices of bitters and lager. There was usually a lesson in Welsh pronunciation as well. The Welsh hold up their glasses and say something that sounded to my ears like "Yucky dahl". I was corrected that it is actually Yecky dal (my own spelling - not the Welsh!) I had such a laugh just making this toast that I always felt merry even before the first sip of beer.
Attempting to get somewhere near the Welsh pronunciation for place names was a daily struggle. Though I have some facility with language, I found Welsh almost unpronounceable. On our longest day trip we drove through Aberystwyth, Machynlleth, and Blaenau Ffestinog. I practiced the "ll" pronounced as "cl", and other sounds like clearing the throat just before a spit which I never mastered.
Reading the local paper gave a chuckle with ads like "Enjoy a slap-up meal!" and "The best in tasty bangers". A frequent conversational colloquialism was "She got her knickers in a twist."
I learned a lot about cricket watching bits of the test match between England and South Africa. England's triumph brought great rejoicing all around. In daily life there is much disparaging of the English but in a cricket match, all is one country.
It was a wholesome holiday with lots of walking, talking with the local folk and seeing the delights of Wales. I highly recommend it for those who like to function in English on their travels, and still feel that they are in a unique culture. Croeso a Cymru! (Welcome to Wales).

Lessons from Dr. Darth Vader (aka Dr. Lee)
By Lisa Crutchfield
Photography by Allen Jones, VCU University Marketing
Content originally published by VCU School of Medicine in 12th & Marshall.
On normal days, pediatric hospitalist Dr. Clifton Lee, dons his usual white coat and gathers the students and residents for the morning's rounds. The associate professor is known in the Children's Hospital of Richmond at VCU for his compassionate and family-centered bedside manner when visiting patients.
But one day a year, things get a little unconventional. On Halloween, it's Dr. Darth Vader making those rounds, accompanied by residents and students also dressed as Star Wars characters.
"You need a human aspect to medicine instead of talking about tests and medications," Lee says. "Without that, it's not a complete journey to health."
Dressing up on Halloween is just one way Lee makes the hospital friendlier for pediatric patients and their families. As co-director of the pediatrics clerkship, he looks for ways to set an example for his students, showing them that it's OK to step outside the role of serious physician and display your humanity.
Lee graduated from VCU's School of Medicine and completed his pediatric residency on the MCV Campus, too. He credits Pediatrics Professor Dr. Barry V. Kirkpatrick, his attending during residency, for teaching him the importance of connecting with patients and parents, and inspiring him to teach others.
After a stint working in the community, Lee returned to the university in 2011 and helped establish CHoR's pediatric hospitalist program. He now directs its pediatric hospital medicine fellowship.
Last fall, Lee was honored with the Irby-James Award for Excellence in Clinical Teaching, recognizing superior teaching and professionalism in clinical medicine taught in the last two years of medical school and residency training.
"We do well with passing on knowledge, and that will make students fine physicians," he reflected at the award presentation. "It takes more to make an excellent physician. Honesty, integrity, empathy and compassion are important for how we care for patients and interact with others."
Dressing up like Darth Vader – even if it's just once a year – is a teaching tool that reinforces the compassion Lee tries to demonstrate every day.
Vader says
Star Wars is my ultimate favorite movie, dating back to 1977 when I was 10 years old. And while Darth Vader isn't necessarily my favorite character, I have the helmet.
If I can bring a smile to the children for a little while and make them forget about the fact that they're in the hospital, it's worth it.
Some kids think doctors are very scary. But we do our best to make sure they don't feel they're in a scary place.
Sometimes it's OK to wear costumes and walk around and make kids laugh. It reminds us why we became physicians in the first place.
Lee says
I want to serve as a guide to families. I can explain the reasons why their child is in the hospital and what we need to do to make the child feel better. It's very rewarding.
When you're a third-year medical student, your focus should change from what must I do to make good grades and do well to what must
I do to care for my patients. You need to change your perspective.
As a physician, you're taught that you want to take care of the patient but there's more to it than just taking care of their physical needs.
In pediatrics, we also have the family that needs to be taken care of. Patients are more than the disease they have. Talk to them. Learn something about them and what they like. If you don't know them as a person, it doesn't matter if you know their disease.
When the day comes to say your child is well enough to go home today, the smile that comes with that is worth everything.
1 Comment
Dr Lee, unfortunate we can't clone you and several more like yourself when it comes to bedside manners and the patient and families mental well being also not just the patient's physical care as you've stated. I know for myself personally I would appreciate that mental care just as equal as the physical care if not more. Even though our culture here in the United States is to tell the patient caregivers or the patient themselves the extent of their illnesses, but sometimes I think it would not be so bad of an idea to adopt other cultures perspective on not telling the patient the extent of their illnesses in regards to being able to give that mental care that you've mention and also the patient need and can appreciate in order to help heal . It's just wonderful your perspective on this and thank you so much for your caring. God Bless.
