"The Collector of Fluids," 1982
"I wanted my photographs to be as powerful as the last thing a person sees or remembers before death" —Joel-Peter Witkin
Looking at his vast body of work, it's not difficult at all to take photographer Joel-Peter Witkin at face value when he claims that his singular artform was influenced by his first sexual encounter with a pre-op transsexual in a carnival freak show ("that was… a very, very freeing experience"), the fact that his grandmother was missing a leg and by seeing a young girl decapitated in an automobile accident:
It happened on a Sunday when my mother was escorting my twin brother and me down the steps of the tenement where we lived. We were going to church. While walking down the hallway to the entrance of the building, we heard an incredible crash mixed with screaming and cries for help. The accident involved three cars, all with families in them. Somehow, in the confusion, I was no longer holding my mother's hand. At the place where I stood at the curb, I could see something rolling from one of the overturned cars. It stopped at the curb where I stood. It was the head of a little girl. I bent down to touch the face, to speak to it—but before I could touch it someone carried me away."
"Le Basier," 1982
Although Witkin is a photographer, he is equally a sculptor of corpses, often having to travel to Mexico to make certain pieces that would be illegal for him to produce in America. His shocking—some would say "sickening"—portraits and photographic tableaux mimic classical paintings with the artist's preferred models of physically challenged people, dwarves, intersex individuals, giants, bearded ladies, the morbidly obese and amputees. Despite the controversial nature of his erotically-charged death and deformity-obsessed imagery, Witkin is one of the top collected photographers in the world.

"Las Meninas," 1987

Shakti Flow Yoga
Shakti flow yoga opens up channels of pure energy that are linked to the breath and movement. In life and work we are subject to tension and stress and our bodies sometimes feel stuck, channels sometimes even frozen within the body. We feel unfocused and agitated, even to the point of not feeling well. In Shakti flow yoga the flowing movement of the postures awakens the energy. The breath moves and illuminates places within us that have been shrouded in darkness. The flow has integrity and wisdom and the body feels awakened and thankful for the newfound awareness of the mind and body. Along with this new awareness there is a creative release and the profound feeling of openness and peace. You leave class with the vibrant flow of clean thought and a body that is so thankful for the care that you bestowed upon it.
After a career as a professional ballerina, and a teacher of classical ballet, Satya balances movement with the serenity of stillness. Satya studied many forms of yoga; hot power yoga which she taught in Oxford, England and she also has certification in Kripala Yoga. It was when she moved to NH and walked into a yoga class that was shakti flow that she felt complete "I felt that I was home, my body and soul were in awe and I felt so in love". satya studied the 500-hour shakti flow yoga certification program under the devoted guidance of Asa Dustin, At Om Yoga Studio in Concord, NH. Satya spent three transformative years under Asa's guidance, practicing the philosophy of this ancient lineage which are similar to Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism.
The flow is primarily a marriage of the trinity of shiva Rea, Parvathi Nanda Nath and Jivamukti yoga. "I found pure openings when I began to study shakti flow. Sometimes I was brought to tears at the love and pain that I triggered deep within. I found that it was okay to feel the hurt of past experiences , and I came to know that I didn't need someone else to tell me that I was worthy to love, it was right there inside of me. Shakti flow awakened the true me. I now have inner strength and love for my own being. When I practice yoga I am in a place of peace and love. When I leave the comfort of the studio after practising yoga, I take with me this feeling of love and forgiveness and it brings me great joy to share this beautifully practice with others.

Are in my living room!
Its 10.21 am, and I am surrounded by "stuff" from the kitchen, pots, pans, plates, potatos, peas….ok enough p's.. although I am a bit "peed" off.
We were promised that work would start today, well it was a bit of a vague promise along the lines of "all being well". Being a little naive about these things I expected the workman to arrive, possibly very early, to begin the job. But having seen numerous tv make over programmes I guessed it might not happen. Especially after he didn't answer his phone to me, so I have resorted to leaving text messages.
Having a husband with anxiety issues has made things doubly difficult. I cannot bin a lot of things because of his attachments to them. To be honest I'm also not able to let go of some things either. We have had to look at everything and decide what to keep and what to bin or give away. I'm posting photos …the heap of stuff is minus the bike parts which were in two of the cupboards.
What would you do in this situation?
Things were sorted out and we now have a starting date. I had assumed there was a problem when in actual fact it was a genuine mistake. However my excuse is that because of my husband's anxiety things can seem far worse than they actually are.
The empty box at the front is for the cat!

Fridays at the Mic: Hello
For most of my life as a writer, I have resisted writing a blog. I'm not much of a wordsmith. I tend to make mistakes, then miss them in the editing. It's embarrassing when the cast of a new radio play spots (and laughs at) these mistakes at a table read, but at least it's just a small group of actors who will say the correct word during recording even if I didn't write it. But as I move forward writing radio scripts and studying other groups doing the same, I'm struck by how many producers write blogs. And more importantly, what an vital and unique role blogs serve.
For the past three years, I've done a news and info podcast called The Crisper on Sunday afternoons. I have thought of this feature as my substitute blog, a chance to talk out my thoughts so I would not have to write them out. But though a personal podcast can be a good forum for personal thoughts, there are ideas that run deeper and require more contemplation. A blog gives people the chance to go back and re-read a section, to think deeper on a point or to write something back. In short, a blog is a good place to slow down. And as I get older, slowing down is becoming my natural pace.
So, I shall write. I think we'll call this blog 'Fridays at the Mic' to give me a regular deadline to shoot for. I cannot promise I'll post a new entry every Friday, but I will aim to. Fridays at the Mic will be about producing audio fiction, both my projects and the work of others. I'll do my best to raise interesting points and the comments field will always remain open. Finally, I think I'll keep the entries short. Brevity is the soul of wit, after all, and subjects requiring something deeper can always be expanded in subsequent entries giving me a ready-made cure for writer's block.
I'll conclude this first entry with a confession about why I'm doing this after resisting it for so many years. I am 50 now. I have been producing audio fiction for 17 years, 12 of which with the Icebox Radio Theater. In that time, I've felt a lot of support from fans and fellow artists. But there have also been days filled with self doubt and jealousy. And through it all, the constant and annoyingly vague desire for 'more'. What 'more' do I want from this life? What 'more' do I want from this art? I don't know, but I feel it's time to work that out. To write that out.

Ecobuild, Earls Court, London, 2 – 4 March 2010
Stand number: 1590
Leading paint manufacturer, Crown Paints has announced its plans for Ecobuild 2010. The company will showcase the positive steps it has taken to improve the environmental credentials of its products and business practices since implementing its earthbalance® programme, a company-wide sustainability initiative.
Designed to take a holistic and coherent approach to sustainability, earthbalance® considers the full product lifecycle in the context of three key areas: resources, climate and people. At the show, Crown Paints will be outlining the latest earthbalance® developments, and how these are helping the company to operate in a way that is more environmentally, socially and economically responsible.
Mark Lloyd, Sustainability Manager at Crown Paints, comments: "Since becoming a standalone company, sustainability has been high on Crown Paints' agenda and, as such, we have made some significant advancements. We have dramatically reduced the environmental impact of our products and everyday business practices. From implementing measures to make the production of our products more energy efficient to reducing packaging and recycling everyday office waste – the earthbalance® programme has been fully embraced by all people working within our company."
In line with the wider governmental objective to reduce UK greenhouse gas emissions to the year 2050 by 80 percent, Crown Paints has worked with key environmental agencies, including the Carbon Trust, to develop a PAS2050 guidance standard to assess and reduce the carbon footprint of its products. As a result, the company has successfully reduced energy consumption at many of its manufacturing sites by re-engineering lighting and heating. The company has also worked with Best Foot Forward to identify more efficient packaging solutions, and as a result, Crown Paints' metal cans are now manufactured from 56 percent recycled steel.
More recently, Crown Paints has established an innovative 'can-back' pilot scheme for the recycling of plastic paint containers. Collected at selected Crown Decorating Centres, the containers have been fed back into the supply chain for the production of new plastic products such as park benches. As part of this scheme, Crown Paints has donated some of the benches, made from the recycled paint containers, to a number of sites across the UK. The benches have been donated in recognition of the company's partnerships with local authorities and housing associations in developing planned maintenance programmes for their housing stock.

Hainan Airlines set to purchase major hotel, aviation assets from parent HNA Group
Related topics
Hainan Airlines, a key subsidiary of debt-laden Chinese conglomerate HNA Group, said on Tuesday that it is mulling the purchase of major hotel and aviation assets from its parent, and independent third parties, including several domestic airlines and an unnamed overseas hotel operator.
The company, whose shares have been suspended from trading on the Shanghai bourse since January 10 citing major asset restructuring plans, said that it expects to see trading resume no later than June 9, after requesting an extension from an earlier trade resumption deadline on April 10.
The company said it plans to purchase a number of major assets from its parent HNA Group, including "an overseas hotel operator", which mainly engages with the hotel management business and has "an important overseas listed subsidiary".
The subsidiary will use a combination of cash and funds raised through the issuance of new shares to finance the asset purchases.
Meanwhile, Hainan Airlines also announced it will purchase Chongqing-based West Air, Air Guilin Company, and HNA Hospitality Group. It will also purchase Hainan Sky Plumage Flight Training, in addition to maintenance, repair and overhaul service providers HNA Technic, and SR Technics from its parent or independent third parties.
Overseas assets would account for 48 to 65 per cent of all outlays involved in this overhaul, said Hainan Airlines, adding that it would need to consult and discuss with multiple overseas regulators. Owing to delays in receiving the regulatory approvals, the company has applied to extend the suspension of trading on it s shares to no later than June 9.
The restructuring comes after HNA rose to international prominence following a global buying spree that saw it build up holdings of strategic assets. These include hotel group Hilton Worldwide Holdings, airline catering giant Gategroup, aviation servicing company Swissport, and a large shareholding in Deutsche Bank, among others. The company resorted to loans to fund the asset purchases, resulting in a high gearing ratio.
Hainan Airlines, founded in 1993, has yuan-denominated A shares and hard-currency B shares listed on the Shanghai exchange. The company counts US billionaire George Soros among its early investors. Hainan Airlines has a fleet of more than 300 aircraft and serves about 1,400 domestic and international routes.
Shares of HNA Infrastructure, a Hong Kong listed HNA unit, closed 11.42 per cent lower on Tuesday, reversing from sharp gains in the previous two sessions.

My mother has held a very prominent position in my life. She is indeed my sole provider while I complete my last year of college and the first person I ran to call when I simply needed a listening ear.
However, these days, I am reminded on a continual basis how much our relationship has changed. Sometimes it appears that our relationship has reached a breaking point. One which forces me to consider just how much I will allow her to be a part of the life I want for myself in the future.
I love my mother for all the good that she has contributed to me, but I find that more and more, the differences in how we see life, marriage, health, relationships with family, or friends are very different. So different that I have been made to feel guilty for holding opinions contrary to her own. It is a destructive pattern that I notice with disagreements between myself and my mother. One that sometimes smells like resentment, or jealousy, or perhaps a power struggle over my mind and emotions.
As I work toward realizing the best life for me, making the decision of who will be allowed in my personal sphere grows more difficult when I think about my mother. My heart would love to have "my mother" in my life for all time! But, my mind knows that the energy generated from our differences is not one that breeds much encouragement or support to go for my goals. Being the young and powerful women we are, how are we successfully navigating relationships with our mothers despite the obvious generational differences. Given our exposure to black female empowerment blogs, are there new differences coming to light that were a non-issue before? If so, what are we doing to turn these moments of frustration or hurt, into launch points for the lives we intend to live?
About Young BW Determined to Live Well
After being a faithful reader of various blogs dedicated to positively influencing black women, I recognized quite a few young black women in their teens, 20's, and 30's who were touched by the message as much as myself. This blog is my attempt to reach out and connect with young black women on issues we may be facing at a very transitional time in our lives. I encourage all, irrespective of age, class, origin, etc. to participate in the discussions and brainstorming sessions we have. I look forward to the potential of this blog and hope to hear from Young Black Women Determined to Live Well like myself!

Oh I can RELATE! Actually hearing a lot of these old tapes out of the mouths of some of the women in my family and evaluating their choices as of late I see a huge chasm from where I was to where I am now. I always felt as if I was circling and revisiting the same scenarios but not able to move on. I see two key areas that I can do things differently than how I've acted in the past. So I'm going to see how that works out for me.ReplyDelete

Great article about the absolute shit that is Donald Rumsfeld, the author talks to a lot of white house aides about his tenure as Defense Secretary. The guy has so much to answer for but is still allowed to stand out there bad mouthing Obama's policies that are simply trying to patch up the shit storm the bush administration left behind and make the world a bit better. I hope he reads this the fucking wally.

Swati Kundra, Hindustan Times February 12, 2014
There was a time when a radio was a must-have in every Indian house. A messenger to the masses, it gave us memorable moments and was the primary source of scoop. For some, listening to it was a morning ritual, and to some it was a companion. With the passage of time, it has, like many other mediums, undergone a sea change, and it continues to evolve in the digital age. But what remains unchanged is its essence.

On the Season 4 premiere episode of Penn & Teller: Fool Us, "Penn & Teller Teach You a Trick", four magicians perform their best trick to try to fool the famous magic duo of Penn & Teller. One of the performers is Texan Richard Turner who's known for his expert card manipulation. New audiences are amazed to learn that he's blind. (He lost his eyesight at the age of 9 after contracting a retinal degeneration disease.) As Turner says, "One day I could see the blackboard, the next day I couldn't."
[Watch Tree of Life with Brad Pitt and Sean Penn on Amazon]
Turner's been around. Filmmaker Terrence Malick asked Turner to be in his Tree of Life film with star Brad Pitt. See clip below. As always, watch Turner very carefully. Turner's in the cowboy shirt and mustache. Turner most recently wowed a crowd of engineers at MIT (see below). Penn & Teller: Fool Us airs Thursdays at 8pm on CW.

You've had the fight once or twice. Maybe you chose it, maybe it was thrust upon you. Or maybe it was the unexpected outcome of an innocent question: "So Mac people, what's the big deal?"
I still don't know the answer to that. If you can be a moderate in the battle of PCs and Macs, I'm that guy. I've always run Windows computers based on convenience – they're what I've had, what my employers sourced, and what my corporate clients needed me to support.
But I've always been curious about the other side, shamelessly toying around with iPods and iPads and other shiny things. I've enjoyed these dalliances, but I've never suffered from pangs of withdrawal while working back on my desktop.
Despite the press, Apple has never done much in the way of sui-generis/ex-nihilo innovation. However, they've become adept at locating the nexus of technology and culture, taking what's possible and making it both practical and cool. But it wasn't always so.
In this 1996 promo you can feel the effort. You can sense the behind-the-scenes perspiration to become all the things they'd be loved for a decade later. But they haven't gotten there yet.
I take comfort in that, and you should as well. Your craft, your career, your business might not be where you want it to be, but not long ago neither was Apple's.
Yes, it'll take some work. But we can get there too.

Windows Server 2008 R2 + Xeon 7500 = Lightning Fast Performance with Mission-Critical Reliability
I just got back from the Intel Nehalem EX (now known as the Xeon 7500) launch event in Boston. I still can't believe the benchmarks coming out on Windows Server 2008 R2, SQL Server and the Xeon 7500. Performance increases are HUGE when compared to the previous Xeon 7400 and earlier Xeons. The specs are phenomenal - a test system I recently used was a 4-socket system with 8 cores per socket and 2 threads per core (for a total of 64 logical processors). Several OEM's have announced 8-socket systems (including Fujitsu) - that means you can get 128 logical processors in a single system! That many procs is no problem for Windows Server 2008 R2 and SQL 2008 R2 which can scale to 256 logical processors and address 2TB of RAM.

Keeping Your Teen Involved in the Community
It feels like we're finally into spring after a winter that has gone on record as one of the coldest and snowiest. Even some parts here in Texas have seen uncharacteristic amounts of snow. While it's nice to sit inside and lounge around, it's also important for our teens to get out of the house and connect with others. Keeping them involved in the community can help prevent abuse of OTC cough medicine because when teens are active, they're more likely to make good decisions.
I understand that sometimes outdoor activities might not be possible, especially in nasty weather. Thankfully, there are many places indoors where your child can stay active. Even though school takes priority, having your teens take on a part-time job will allow them to feel more independent and create a sense of responsibility. Whether it's working at a local restaurant on the weekends, tutoring a younger student, or even shoveling snow for the neighbors, it is a good way to keep them active, exercise responsibility, and even help them earn a paycheck.
It doesn't have to be a job, either. Having your teens volunteer is also a great way to get them more involved in the community and is now a graduation requirement at many schools. The Internet can provide you with great advice and ideas on local volunteer opportunities specific to your area. You can also check with your children's school to see what other resources are available and be sure to talk with your teens to get a sense of what types of community activities they may enjoy.
By keeping our teens active, we are helping provide constructive activities that will keep them away from making poor choices. How do you keep your teens active and involved in the community during the winter months? Share your tips with on the Stop Medicine Abuse Facebook Fan page or through our Twitter page.

This page explains what to do to visit genuine psychic surgeon Laurence Cacteng, and receive healing.
If you do not know what psychic surgery is, and what it can do, please check this page first.
I (Patrick) have been organizing Psychic Surgery trips to the Philippines for visitors to receive treatments since 1997.
The most powerful, and genuine, Psychic Surgeon we visit is Laurence Cacteng.
Over 90% of so called Psychic Surgeons are fakes. Do not be conned into seeing a "magician
Check these Testimonials from previous visitors.
Advantages traveling with me:
If you email me with details of your health problems, I will tell you whether we can help you or not.
If you need to stay one night in Manila, the hotel I recommend is Lotus Garden hotel.
If you need to stay one night in Clark, I recommend either Lewis Grand hotel, Vera hotel or Red Planet hotel.
These hotels are safe, prices are reasonable, staff is very efficient and the rooms are clean.
Information about your second hotel near the psychic surgeon will be sent to you shortly after your registration.
If you suffer from a mysterious illness such as these, you have to understand why you are sick in order to heal. I can explain this to you and tell you how to regain health.
We currently are under attack from new strains of viruses that are making us sick (over 70% of Americans suffer from one of them whether they know it or not). Every day, we are bombarded with poisonous toxins from the chemical industry. These are in the food we eat, the water we drink and even in the air we breathe.
We ALL have some of these in our body: mercury (always), lead, copper, arsenic, aluminum, nickel, cadmium and other deadly metals + plastics, radiation, chlorine, fluoride, pesticides, herbicides, fungicides, cleaning solvent, etc... These highly poisonous toxins feed cancers, viruses, bacteria and cause inflammation (the root cause of all diseases).
Modern medicine is currently ignoring this aspect of health, and this is why they are struggling with so many diseases.
Thankfully, Spirit has shared with us recipes to effectively remove these toxins and viruses that caused your disease(s). I can advise you on how to remove these during my consultation.
DAY 1 with Patrick:
DAY 2 with Patrick
Should you want me to stay longer than these 2 days with you, I strongly recommend that you join my group trip instead.
This way, you will also benefit from my 4 lectures
(worth €495) that explain why you got sick and what to do to recover long term health. The group trip option is in fact cheaper as in addition to
my 4 lectures, I also include your hotel accommodation when near the healer, standard hotel breakfast, lunch, return transport Manila/ Clark, two daily trips to the surgeon, and some sightseeing.
Your Remaining Treatments days with the Psychic Surgeon:
Extra days you need to stay with the surgeon on your own before
your return to Manila, or Clark:
Laurence recommends 10 treatments for a body clean up. This means that you will have to stay near your chosen healer at least 5 full days if you wish to have two treatments a day.
We can drive you back to Manila after all your treatments, but this is not included in the price of this trip.
Contact me first and let me know when you'd like to come. I will call the Surgeon and see if available.
If you do not have the strength to walk properly or need my help to support you during your trip, YOU SHOULD NOT JOIN THIS TRIP but join the group trip instead.
You will be asked to confirm you full acceptance of our Agreement form when booking your trip. You will lose your deposit if you cancel your trip so please make sure that your insurance covers cancellations.
If you do not wish to travel to the Philippines, consider my consultation.
It has saved the lives of many people.

The 5 Commandments of Sellinghouses And How Learn More
How to Sell Your Home Faster. Are you in a financial crisis? Do you want to sell your home faster? If this is the case, I would like you to read a few secret tips that am going to discuss in this article. It will be much easier to sell your home, with these tips.. 1. Offer the right price for your house. The first thing you should do is to evaluate the value of your house and reduce the price by at least 20%. Once you have done that, you will get many buyers with convincing bids. Those who are interested in buying your house will continue offering their bids, and you will be able to get a higher value on your home than its original value. To sell your home faster, this is the best strategy; more so you need to have faith that your buyers will bid attractively, and at a reasonable price, they will buy your home.
Smart Tips For Uncovering Houses
2. You should always be ready to show your house to potential buyers.
A 10-Point Plan for Sellinghouses (Without Being Overwhelmed)
Once you put your house on sale, the chances are that you will get a lot of people coming to see how the house is. Always make sure that your house is ready to be viewed because you can't predict when the potential buyer will call to view the house. Though it is inconvenient to have people come to your house as they want, you are in the process of selling your home, and you will welcome anything that will help you sell your house faster. 3. Hire an experienced broker. On the process of selling their houses, many people find themselves doing a mistake of hiring a broker who is not qualified. A good house agent should be able to know the current market price of the houses, and therefore should be able to advise you on the right price on your home depending on his market research. A broker who uses technology to do their job should be the best one to hire because in most cases, their prediction is always right. Bottom Line. The process of selling a home has never been easy, may it be a new or an old home. In this process of selling your house, you should be prepared to work with everything that might come up, be it negative or positive. Nevertheless if you employ a qualified agent who will take you through the process, and also market your house through the right platform, you will be able to sell your house as fast as possible. With the above secrets, you will be able to sell your house much quicker.

About a month ago we reported about the Michael Michael Kors Large Satchel, and Kate Bosworth recently proved the significance of the luxe handbag among Hollywood celebs. Cute bag, but somehow Kate seems to be missing out on what millions of other Americans are passionately devoted to (aside from handbags, of course)… food. Maybe a few more calories a day would make her and her cute bag harmonize a little more, instead of looking like an underfed, disease-ridden anorexic.
Ouch, did I just say that?

Firstly I have to say congratulations to Max Verstappen. He drove an astonishing race holding off Kimi Räikkönen towards the end. I mean for goodness sake, he's 18 years old, where on earth does he get the confidence and skill from? Anyway, let's move on to the main subject.
It happened at Spa in 2014 and it's happened again at Spain in 2016. The two Mercedes' drivers came together. Neither driver will get any kind of penalty. However, I believe this is a major turning point in the season.
The most pivotal question I have is this; can these two drivers continue racing in the same team? After today, I'm not sure. Rosberg's contract runs out this year and there was a wild rumour that Hamilton would take a sabbatical in 2017. I can't see the latter happening, Hamilton isn't going anywhere. I believe Rosberg will sign a new contract within the next few months however. So it looks like Hamilton nor Rosberg are going anywhere so Mercedes will have their work cut out and will need to try and resolve this so it doesn't happen, ever again.
Although both drivers were understandably gutted, Rosberg would have felt better out of the two drivers as the standings remain the same between them both yet Hamilton has one less race to try and catch Rosberg's lead. Hamilton's torrid season continues. Yesterday looked like it might've been the turning point, he put in a great qualifying lap which put him on pole position and the car looked good.
The stewards deemed it a 'racing incident' and as I mentioned just a minute ago, neither driver has received a penalty. Hamilton however is on a knife's edge because when (not if) he gets his third reprimand, he'll get a 10-place grid penalty and because of the cars unreliability early on, he's used far more engine parts than Rosberg and is close to receiving a 10-place grid penalty for using more than five power units in one season. In two of the remaining 16 races, it's highly likely Hamilton will start the race in 11th or below.
The next race is at Monaco where qualifying is vital. Overtaking is near impossible and you might remember we had drama last year as Hamilton was comfortably leading the race but got called into the pits and fell behind Rosberg and Vettel and finished third. The European season has started and Hamilton must win in Monaco if he has any chance of catching Rosberg in the standings.

Hi Friends,
In this document I'm going to explain about Gross Invoice Posting (RE) V/S Net Invoice Posting (RN) in detail.
Gross Invoice Posting:
In Gross invoice posting system will ignore the cash discount at the time of invoice posting and posts the cash discount at the time of payment.
Net Invoice Posting:
In Net invoice system will consider the cash discount at the time of invoice posting and post the cash discount amount in to cash discount in to cash discount G/L account at the time of payment.
Before going in to detail about this topic first we have to understand Cash discounts
What is Cash Discount?
Cash Discount is a discount given on total amount of invoice posted, in those cases when payment is made within a stipulated period.
This cash discount is determined by payment terms entered in the purchase order for example.
Configuration path to define Payment terms:
SPRO —> Materials Management–> Purchasing–> Vendor Master–> Define terms of payment.
As shown below you will enter the cash discount granted in percentage if you make payment within specified days from baseline date selected.
In SAP LIV this gross invoice posting and net invoice posting is controlled by the definition of invoice document type as shown below.
Transaction code OBF4
RE – Gross Invoice Posting
RN – Net Invoice Posting
Gross Invoice Doc.type: RE
Example1: Gross Invoice Posting
Create a PO via., ME21N as shown below by entering payment terms in header invoice tab of PO. tax code is mandatory to work with payment terms.
carry out goods receipt w.r.t Purchase order in transaction code MIGO.
The below are the postings at time of GR in accounting document.
Do Invoice posting w.r.t Purchase order in transaction MIRO.
Observe the baseline date filled as per the setting in terms of payment.
Check the document type in details tab and select 'Gross Invoice receipt doc. type "RE" '
The below is simulation screen in invoice posting and observe only vendor account and GR/IR clearing account as cash discount is not considered in gross invoice posting
Below is the accounting document and postings at LIV.

in detail tab of MIRO select document type 'Net Invoice Doc. Type: RN'
In Net invoice doc. type system will post the cash discount at the time of Invoice posting itself.
Note: if the material is Moving average price (V) controlled then the discount amount is credited from stock account if sufficient stock exists for that material and debited to discount clearing account.
If the material is standard price (S) controlled then the discount is credited to gain from price difference account and debited to discount clearing account.
account postings are as shown below
Net Invoice Settlement or outgoing payment to vendor
Transaction code F-53
if the payment is made later period than invoice posting then the discount actually applicable on payment date will be considered and the discount amount reduced is debited to 'discount loss account' and total discount amount is credited to cash discount clearing account as shown below.

Training plan (plan and safety) - Trampoline
Extracts from this document...
Trampolining Liam Spicer Planning Purpose and aim of the programme and personal fitness profile I have decided to base my five week training programme on trampolining. Although I have only been doing the sport for a few months, I have developed quite a liking in this particular area and find it very enjoyable, and so would like to enhance my performance in it. As it stands, I spend approximately (although this varies) 2-3 hours each fortnight practicing trampolining in my GCSE P.E (short course) lessons and feel that I have improved dramatically and at a rapid rate and believe that by designing an efficient five week training programme, I can progress even further. Another reason is so I can improve my trampolining ability before doing my GCSE practical task. Of course, this sport requires the ability to perform a wide range of moves on the trampoline. For example, tuck jumps and swivel hips. To begin moving onto more advanced skills, I will need to improve in particular my cardiovascular fitness (so I can exercise and remain on the trampoline for a longer time without becoming too out of breath), muscular strength (especially in the legs) ...read more.
After having done a variety of physical tests to help me understand my level of fitness better - I will be able to build my personal fitness profile. This is vital if I am to set correct times for the circuit which is necessary if it is to have an effect on my muscles and make them work harder than they usually do (overload). After having done this, to be certain that these times are safe for me and not too difficult, I will carry out my first session as a trial. This will help me understand where I need to make changes in perhaps timings, or where the rest station is situated. Circuit: Awareness and safety aspects In any sport, there is a risk of injury. There are a variety of precautions which can be carried out however, to limit the chance of this occurring. Of course, one of the main reasons why safety is important is because of the heath risks. However, in the sporting world, even more important is the fact that the concept if reversibility may become an issue - and this could cost months of hard work. Also, injury may cause fear and therefore an individual may be reluctant to continue with their programme. ...read more.
After the main activity, I will need to do a short cool down which consisting of gentle aerobics and stretching. This will ensure that the body is gradually returned to the usual rate - this means the length of the cool down will depend on the individuals needs - although as with warm up, there are no set times. It will also ensure that the blood circulating does not have the chance to collect in areas in the circulatory system - this would prevent the issue of light-headedness as well as the build up of lactic acid in the muscles which could cause painful cramps. Wearing the correct clothing is vital. It is important that I wear clothes which allow me to move around and conduct my exercises freely. Also, the clothing should not have any material which could get caught to a piece of equipment. I would say jogging bottoms or shorts and a relatively loose t-shirt would be appropriate. As for footwear, comfortable and tight trainers would be necessary for this type of exercise as it would limit the risk of serious damage to the feet, if for example, a piece of apparatus was dropped, being tight will help the individual sprint faster and will ensure they will not trip and harm themselves. ...read more.

On a Sunday afternoon two years ago, five homeless people being dropped off on Los Angeles' skid row by an ambulance caught the attention of police officers.
The officers videotaped what they thought was a case of hospitals dumping patients in a section of the city where few would notice or care.
But as investigators began to unravel the incident, they say they found something far different: a massive scheme to defraud taxpayer-funded healthcare programs of millions of dollars by recruiting homeless patients for unnecessary medical services.
The elaborate enterprise churned thousands of indigents through hospitals over the last four years and billed Medicare and Medi-Cal for costly and unjustified medical procedures, federal, state and local investigators said Wednesday.

The Meadowlarks demonstrate a deep-rooted musical intuition. They bring out the best qualities in the music they program. Passages that require delicacy are quickly discerned as well as those that require a stern hand. They are able to recognize special instances in the music, whether simple or virtuosic, and respond musically, creating magical moment for the audience. To my great delight, they are certainly not afraid to handle a piece roughly when needed. They demonstrate a range of sensitivity and energetic control. They apply an aggressiveness that excites and thrills to the center.
In performing challenging contemporary works, the Meadowlarks demonstrate their ability to tackle repertoire from the wide spectrum of music that is available today. Music from the common-practice is just as rewarding in their hands as is the new music of today. They perform music ranging from raucous pounding to ethereal whispering. In both extremes, they draw the audience into the experience and leave them on the edge of their chairs. I have been left with bated breath, not wanting to disturb a beautiful moment in their hands.

People with dementia tend to experience cognitive decline. While aging is often associated with memory loss, it is not inevitable. SuperAgers are proving that not all seniors lose cognitive ability as they get older.
What Is a SuperAger?
A SuperAger is any person over the age of 80 with a memory on par with a middle-aged adult. The person's brain is typically more nimble than his or her aging peers. SuperAgers may have longer attention spans or sharper memories, and they can retain their mental faculties into their 80s and beyond. Seniors who are able to maintain their cognitive health enjoy a higher quality of life than their peers.
If your elderly loved one needs help maintaining a high quality of life while aging in place, reach out to Home Care Assistance, a trusted provider of Warren senior care. Services our caregivers provide include transportation to and from medical appointments and social events, nutritious meal preparation, assistance with daily exercise, and help with everyday tasks like bathing, grooming, and light housekeeping.
Have Scientists Researched the SuperAger Phenomenon?
Scientists at Northwestern University conducted a study on the impact of aging on SuperAgers. The researchers wanted to know whether SuperAgers had larger than average brains from birth, or whether they simply lost their mental abilities at a slower rate. The study concluded that SuperAgers tend to lose about 1.06 percent of brain volume every year, while other people lose 2.24 percent.
Why Do SuperAgers Retain Their Mental Faculties?
SuperAgers stay sharp due to the size of their brain cortex. While normal aging adults experience thinning cortexes, SuperAgers maintain optimal thickness in the limbic system of the brain. This allows them to retain their mental faculties longer than other people.
What Implications Does This Have for Dementia?
Research on SuperAgers may provide a new way for scientists to think about age-related cognitive decline. SuperAgers have unusually healthy brains for their age, which gives scientists the opportunity to evaluate the biological factors that insulate certain seniors from age-related memory loss. The existence of SuperAgers weakens the assumption that dementia is somehow inevitable. If scientists can isolate the reasons why SuperAgers exist, they may be able to use their findings to prevent dementia in other seniors.
While the research on SuperAgers is underway, seniors with cognitive decline can benefit from professional in-home caregivers. For reliable Alzheimer's home care, Warren families can turn to Home Care Assistance. We are a leading provider of professional memory care designed to help seniors maintain a higher quality of life. In addition to Alzheimer's care, we also provide comprehensive dementia, Parkinson's, and stroke care. From revolutionary care programs to compassionate and dedicated caregivers, we can meet all of your Alzheimer's home care needs.
How Can People Become SuperAgers?
Scientists aren't quite sure why some people become SuperAgers while others don't. The prevailing theory is that SuperAgers exert their brains more than other people.
Working hard keeps the brain thick, healthy, and highly functional. This type of vigorous mental exercise isn't necessarily pleasant, and a standard Sudoku puzzle may not be enough to ward off normal aging processes. To become SuperAgers, people should consider a variety of activities that challenge their minds such as studying foreign languages or learning instruments.
Living with a serious health condition can make it challenging for seniors to age in place. However, they can maintain a higher quality of life with the help of professional live-in care. Warren seniors can benefit from assistance with meal prep, bathing, transportation to the doctor's office, medication reminders, and much more. If your aging loved one experiences cognitive decline and needs help with daily tasks, call Home Care Assistance at 908.450.9400 today.

I'm just scratching my head a little at this one.
Imagine an SPSprite *s1 (default x = 0, y = 0).
Then add a child, say a 200x200 SPQuad to it.
BUT... we set the quad.y to be 200.
So now we have an SPSprite with y = 0, but the height is 200.
Ok, so 200 is the height of the quad, but we placed the quad.y at 200, so surely the height of the SPSprite should be 400?
NSLog of s1.y gives 0
NSLog of s1.height gives 200
But clearly by looking at the screen, the s1 sprite takes up 400 pixels (0 + quad.y + quad.height).

Back when I was 14 or 15, my aunt Winnie gave me a piece of advice which thankfully stuck with me, and in my eyes, it's been the best piece of advice I've been given. Larry, she said 'if you don't ask you don't get'.
Fast-forward to 2015 and with that advice ringing in my ears, I knew I had a choice, even though at the time all I could focus on was either the nothingness of depression which surrounded me or the gut wrenching grasp of anxiety which plagued me, but never the less a choice was still there.
That choice was to ask myself: could I summon the last spec of courage within me to make a change, and could I finally open up fully about this debilitating mental condition?
(Related: Why our expert panel, including Ricky Hatton and Professor Green, are pushing for mental health reform)
Though I'd gone through the darkness of depression on and off since I was a little boy, this was different and it felt like an internal ticking bomb had finally exploded and I was left in pieces on the ground.
My heart ached immensely from my dad's death in the previous year and the fact that the father son relationship I'd always hoped for never came to be. I was also heartbroken from a recent relationship breakdown, from losing the person who made me smile more than any other before and both events fanned the flames of this vicious and monstrous state. It was like there was a tug-of-war inside me and any hope seemed like a dim light in the blurry distance, which I struggled desperately to focus on.
I've always tried to be a courageous person, whether it be addressing issues with my past, with boozing too much, not opening up enough or just pushing myself to go for jobs etc. I usually approached everything either head on or with a 'fake it til you make it attitude'. Even if I didn't have a clue what I was doing I still pushed myself, refusing to be beaten or to become a product of my upbringing.

But now I felt betrayed by my own mind and never more alone. From the moment I opened my eyes each day the feelings of despair washed over me and were unlike anything I'd felt before. I was barely functioning and simple everyday tasks seemed too much to cope with. I battled with the thoughts of 'am I just living to then die with nothing but this consistent misery in between?' I knew that there had to be more, but suicidal thoughts became a daily occurrence. I didn't want to die but I just wanted to make it all stop.
Watch our panel discuss mental health
I questioned why this little bastard of depression had chosen my mind as a playground to wreak havoc in, why it was relentless and why now it seemed to have much more might then ever before. In this most chaotic and draining state it felt as if my courage had withered down from a mighty oak tree to a pathetic drooping weed.
With depression echoing hopeless voices around my mind, telling me I was a hindrance, a burden, that everyone was sick of my woes and listening to my crap I felt embarrassed and ashamed to reach out. Outwardly afraid to be seen as weak but internally I felt like it was punching me back into a corner, bloodied and bruised emotionally and I could barely breathe.
(Related: How to save your best friend's life)
In a moment when it seemed like there was truly nothing left to live for, when the blackness of depression was palpable, I faced a decision to either step out of this life for good or to step out of the entire situation and give my life a chance.
I chose the latter.
Maybe it was anger, maybe it was the thoughts of the friends before me who took their own lives unable to salvage anything from the wreck of depression. Maybe it was seeing the aftermath and hurt those desperate actions caused to the loved ones left behind. Whatever it may have been it was that choice not to give up which pulled me back from the edge. I couldn't hide it any longer and I had to ask for help. I told myself that that glimmer of hope, no matter how far in the distance, was still visible and that that little weed of courage was still alive. So with every last ounce of my might I dragged myself up off my knees and scrambled towards the light.
And when I did reach out what became even clearer was that I now had more choices, as well as the realisation that courage stifles depression and makes it harder to function. This pushed me forward and I knew that I needed to put things in place to get myself out of this.
Travel had always been in my mind, a continuous trip around the world, so with that one positive goal and with no expectations but the time to deal with and try to dissect being consumed by the above issues and haunting memories, I gave everything up and booked the ticket.
(Related: 6 ways to improve your mental health)
I was still aching inside but at least I had something to focus on, I kept on going and bit by bit kept on talking, to not only the saviours that are my friends and my cousins but to a doctor and eventually a counsellor too. I wasn't met with judgement or 'shame' but with love and support.
Don't get me wrong, there was no fast track here but by making a choice to turn the hopeless into the hopeful it got a little less heavy. Having a focus or goal whatever it may be is hugely important in the fight and I slowly dragged my eyes from the ground and looked up to the sky.
How did I get there? Well it all boiled down to choice and courage, two massive factors in dismantling depression, we all have them, every human being on this planet does and they help isolate it and cut off its blood supple so it can't feed so freely. But it's whether you choose to leave your courage dormant or you reach deep inside and take it by the hand, that's the key to all if this.
The choice is your power.
(Related: The 5 best mental health apps)
Depression is an overwhelming state which can leave you blinkered to everything else, it tries to trick you into believing there are no choices, that you will just have to suffer and that you will not fight back. I beg anyone suffering in silence not to let your most fierce of allies lay there ignored and repressed, don't let it become almost forgotten or a distorted version of what it should be. Call on your courage to grow, make it your focus, in a dead-end situation use your last ounce of this mighty strength to help you. You are not alone in this and never will be, let your courage stand on the pedestal and push depression and anxiety back into their dark corners.
You can choose to crumble or die from this very human state or you can choose to live a different life. As much as the emotional savage that is depression has engulfed you, there's also another emotion, a powerful one within you too and it's ready to stand up and fight. The choice is simple, accept the darkness or call on your courage to stand by your side.
(Related: The truth about male anxiety disorders)
And that's why I decided to write my book, to show you my choice and to tell others who don't have to go through this that depression is not self-indulgent pity seeking nonsense. It's a very real problem, it's evil and packs a devastating punch, it takes lives away and creates miserable existences. In my case add anxiety, grief, heartbreak to the mix then it's an all-consuming big piece of shit pie, and I've very much had my fill.
Do I pity myself or wish it was different? The answer is I decided not to, what's the point, it's already part of me so wasting anymore time wishing it was different is pointless, but one thing it doesn't do is define me and it doesn't need to define you.
My journey continues and will be as unique as yours, we all see this life and struggles through our own eyes and for me it continues to be a daily battle. Now though, instead of letting it tower over me I focus on summoning its biggest opponent in the battle. It might not be easy to realise but we all have it in us to fight back, so open up and don't wither away, don't let depression win, know your worth, change your environment, forget the money, forget the material things and remember we are all blips for a moment in time on this planet, so reach out, stand up, hold the hand of courage and be brave. You can do it, you can fight this depression face on, you can hold it and its partner in crime, anxiety, by the scuff of their necks, look them square in the eye and delve into your soul to dissect what it is that's brought you here.
Stand up strong my friend, we may be blips but you can choose to be a courageous blip.

To grow full green grass under any conditions, optimum use of space, light and soil are necessary. Conditions must be created that are favorable to the growth of full green grass. Grass prefers a high pH level in soil and as much direct sunlight as it can get. Creating a proper pH level in the soil and providing the most sunlight can combine to help grow full green grass under any conditions.
Rake the lawn and pick up rocks, branches or larger objects. Clear the grass of dead material, leaves and twigs. Place everything in the wheelbarrow and dispose of according to local laws.
Thatch the lawn with a claw rake. Rake in one direction, either left to right or top to bottom. Remove dead grass and break up the hard top soil underneath with the rake. Break up the soil to a depth of 6 inches to ensure the soil is properly loosened, which aerates the ground below the dead material.
Fill the spreader with 2 lbs. of grass seed per 1,000 square feet of lawn space if you are rebuilding a mature lawn; for new or sparsely covered lawn use 4 lbs. of grass seed per 1,000 square feet of lawn space.
Fill the spreader with a 1 lb. bag of lime. Spread a 1/10th-inch layer of lime over the grass seed for the entire area to increase the pH level so the grass will better adapt to the soil.
Fill the spreader with peat moss. Spread a ½-inch layer of peat moss over the lime and grass seed to help keep moisture in the soil, help the absorption rate of the moisture, and add minerals and other nutrients.
Water the lawn daily for 14 days with a lawn sprinkler positioned in the center of the lawn. Water larger lawns one side at a time. Water to a depth of 3 inches to make sure the roots are getting enough moisture.
Increase sunlight to shaded areas for optimal full green grass to grow. Trim bushes and branches that block or shield the sun with pruning shears or loppers.

This article aimed to examine the impact of government subsidy policies on production of one of the most strategic products, namely on production of one of the most strategic products, namely maize, in Iran. To achieve this goal, panel data for the nine provinces of Iran's major producers of maize during the period of 1999-2007, is used. In this study, first the country's maize production function has been estimated by using data information for inputs: chemical fertilizer, labor, water, seeds and pesticides. And then, calculating the partial elasticity of production factors,sensitivity of production to changes in the value of inputs is evaluated. Also, using a methodology based on the maximum profit, inputs´ demand function is calculated.Results of analyzing government Subsidy Policy showed that, paying subsidy to chemical fertilizer decreases maize production 0.412 percent, because of low demand elasticity of this input. Also according to subsidy of seed, with regard to low demand elasticity of this input to its price, paying subsidy that decreases seed price, wouldn´t have so high effect on its consumption and consequently, on production growth, so that maize production only increased 0.478 percent due to paying subsidy to seed.

Album Review: Young Fathers- Cocoa Sugar
Cocoa Sugar doesn't bump in my whip. It doesn't do much through my headphones either. Young Fathers' new release is among my most highly anticipated albums of 2018. I don't like it. The Scottish group downplays hip-hop elements on its third album in favor of precious indie-rock embellishments. I once rejected the frequent comparisons to TV On the Radio that hounded the Scottish trio, but the correlation is obvious on Cocoa Sugar. (Caveat: I reserve the right to change my mind.)
I reviewed a concert by the Kansas City Jazz Orchestra at Plastic Sax.
Valee's 14-minute Good Job, You Found Me is pure evil. The lyrics are reprehensible and the flow is derivative. So why can't I stop listening? It's the beats, stupid. Pusha T pops off on "Miami".
Nubya Garcia's new single "When We Are" has me on #teamnubya. RIYL: Courtney Pine, optimism, Eddie Moore & the Outer Circle.
Automata 1, Between the Buried and Me's latest riff-tastic effort, surpasses the recent work of Mastodon. Here's "Millions".
I'm struggling to hear what the cool kids find so captivating about Soccer Mommy's Clean. RIYL: Blake Babies, retreads, Liz Phair. Here's "Your Dog".
Henry Cow lives! The kids in the British jazz group Dinosaur made a wacky music video that evokes the forgotten experimental rock ensemble.

Richard helps a person see that all of our experiences are gifts once you see them with the proper perspective.
"There are no mistakes, there are just experiences which when reconciled will bear their fruit to those who are willing to see the many roads to personal enlightenment." – Richard Perro
My process incorporates all of the modalities mentioned to hopefully give a person a greater understanding of themselves and the choices they have made. If a more conventional approach is preferred, that is not a problem.
Richard's fields of study include Traditional Western Psychology, Eastern Philosophy, Neuro Linguistic Programing, Neuro Design Engineering, Ericksonian Hypnosis, Astrotheology, Numerology, Sacred Geometry, and Tarot.
Detailed below are some of the services that Richard employs that could help your needs:
Transformational Life Coach – I consider it an honor and a privilege to facilitate positive change in my clients' lives. This is my calling and my life's work. I can think of nothing more Divine than to remove the obstacles in a persons' life and unleash their full potential.
My method is very simple.
I provide a safe environment for my clients to unearth their debilitating believes. Once these issues are released through a trust relationship and rapport they can then open up to new possibilities. When they awaken to the new possibilities, then we uncover what their true passions are and what's the best approach to make them happen.
We are all extraordinary beings with something unique to contribute to the all. I feel that when my clients are fully engaged in their bliss the whole world benefits from their contribution.
Numerology – Numerology is one of the most fascinating studies in the esoteric sciences; it is also probably the science that receives the most skepticism. How can numbers have an effect on our lives, particularly birth numbers?
Well we live in an orderly universe and our universe is based on ten; ten Cardinal numbers, ten planets in our solar system, ten digits on our hands and feet; ten shows up everywhere in our lives.
We are to pursue life with in"ten"tion, and go after things in"ten"tly! When we do not pursue our lives with intention we can experience tension. This is why it is so important to pay at"ten"tion to your life's calling.
"Numb"ers, particularly birth numbers, demonstrate to us what our Souls having a "human experience" may be numb to. Our birth numbers give us an indication of what we are here to contribute and also some of the challengers we may experience in the process.
Astrology – My approach to astrology is very spiritual. I believe that we come to this Earth as Spiritual beings with certain lessons to learn and gifts to present. The Planets or "Plan-its" help us to achieve this. The position of the planets at the time of our birth is what determines our disposition or "disc-position" if you will. Having an understanding of your Birth chart will help a person understand many things that have happened in their lives. I believe that to know thyself is the most empowering knowledge that a person can ever attain. From this all things are known.
I use astrology not as a determinant of what will be but to explain what has happened and what may be happening in the present. I do not presuppose into the future because that is the God given free will that we should all determine for ourselves.

Murray Karn, still a teenager when he drew Thunderfist, did a fair job with the artwork, although there are some Flash Gordon swipes here and there (common in American comic books, also). The story, by E.T. LeGault, commits the same sin as many American comic books, by telling us in captions what we are looking at in pictures. It also feeds into wartime xenophobia with a caption about "foreign-looking men" — but that came from the insecure times in which it was created.
In this story I like the giant robot. As you regular Pappy readers know, I am drawn to stories with robots, and also gorillas. Maybe it came from watching the cheapo/ultra cheeseball Robot Monster movie when I was a kid. They showed it several times on television when I was a youngster. I believe it permanently affected me.
From Active Comics #3 (1942):
