Following the announcement in November that Debbie Robinson moves on to take a position at Central England Co-operative, SPAR is delighted to announce that Chris Lewis and Jackie Mackenzie will take on new interim MD roles leading the SPAR UK team in Harrow.
Chris Lewis has been working with SPAR for 19 years and has been a key figure in recent years working on a number of projects with the main Board, including a new purchasing strategy.
Jackie Mackenzie joined SPAR in 2016 as CIO where she has been responsible for SPAR's financial accounts, management information, supply chain and technology operations. She has subsequently taken on the responsibility for central HR, legal and governance issues.
Martin Agnew, SPAR UK Chairman said: "Chris and Jackie have spent a lot of time with the SFD Board over the last 18 months, and their interim roles will enable the continuity and development of our strategy, which has proven successful in driving profitable growth.
"For the meantime, we are working with a search firm to assist us with finding a permanent successor."

Nkwali Camp is positioned on the banks of the Luangwa River, on private land just outside the South Luangwa National Park. It is owned and managed by upmarket safari operator Robin Pope Safaris, and, like all Robin Pope camps, is small, intimate and luxurious.
Nkwali Camp has a superb location, just across the river from the busy central sector of the South Luangwa National Park, with direct access to the other side via a private pontoon—meaning guests here have the option of exploring the national park in the day and retreating to the quiet of the camp in the evening.
In terms of its immediate location, Nkwali Camp has been carefully positioned beneath a copse of mahogany and sausage trees, from where it overlooks a bend in the Luangwa River that often teems with game. Surrounding the camp, vast plains and wooded areas create a diverse game-viewing environment. The region is famous for its leopard and occasional wild dog sightings.
Nkwali is rather understated in its design. The homely main lodge features comfortable lounge areas and opens out onto a viewing deck which overlooks the Luangwa River. The open-air dining area is separate to the lounge and overlooks a watering hole. There's a small swimming pool with loungers. The stone and bamboo thatched chalets are spacious and airy, and sit overlooking the river.
Nkwali is one of the only camps in the South Luangwa that is open for the duration of the year. Lower rates apply in the 'green season' (Nov to May) which is also when the park is quietest.
Accommodation consists of six large and very attractive thatched chalets with bamboo reed walls. All have en-suite shower and flush loo. Every chalet overlooks the river.
Situated nearby, "Robin's House" is a private villa with two bedrooms, which are self-contained with kitchen chef, valet, private game viewing vehicle and guide.
The dining area is partially open with views of the lagoon. The bar is situated on the river bank, built around a huge ebony tree. Meals are typically served around the communal dining table in the open-air dining area or outside under the stars. The menus are rich and varied.
- Pool
- Dining area
- Bar
- Library
- Mains electricity
- Day and night game drives
- Fly camping
- Walking safaris
- Boating trips during the 'green season'
Child Policy
Children over the age of seven can be accommodated at Nkwali Camp. Walking safaris are restricted to children over the age of twelve.

Benicar Sprue-Like Enteropathy Lawsuits
A Benicar lawsuit has been filed on behalf of a Florida man who alleges that the hypertension drug caused gastrointestinal symptoms, including chronic diarrhea. As with other Benicar lawsuits, he alleges that his gastrointestinal issues were caused by Benicar and that manufacturers Daiichi Sankyo and Forest Laboratories failed to warn about the risks.
The product liability attorneys at Parker Waichman LLP have decades of experience representing clients in lawsuits involving drug side effects. The firm continues to offer free legal consultations to individuals with questions about filing a Benicar lawsuit.
The plaintiff in the lawsuit alleges that Benicar side effects prompted the need for medical treatment, and left him unable to work or leave the house. The suit alleges that adverse events from Benicar caused emotional and economic damages.
Sprue-like enteropathy causes gastrointestinal symptoms such as chronic diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, weight loss and malnutrition. In 2013, the Benicar label was updated to warn about the risk of sprue-like enteropathy. Product liability lawsuits have been filed against Daiichi Sankyo and Forest Laboratories alleging the companies knew Benicar could cause sprue-like enteropathy but failed to warn patients or their physicians.
The FDA said in its July 2013 Drug Safety Communication that Benicar, Benicar HCT, Azor, Tribenzor, and generics may lead to sprue-like enteropathy, which leads to intestinal symptoms causing "severe, chronic diarrhea with substantial weight loss" regulators said. The agency noted that Mayo Clinic researchers had similar findings in 22 case reports.
A study published in the American Journal of Gastroenterology in 2013 found that some patients with intestinal symptoms who tested negative for celiac disease developed Benicar-related sprue-like enteropathy. The authors wrote, "The role of medications in the development of VA [villous atrophy] and the optimal dose and length of immunosuppression for patients with US [unclassified sprue] should be investigated further."
Another Benicar lawsuit was filed on behalf of an Oklahoma woman. The plaintiff began taking Benicar in 2013 to control her high blood pressure. According to her lawsuit, she developed nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, malabsorption, malnutrition, villous atrophy, sprue-like enteropathy, colitis and dehydration due to Benicar use. She alleges that Benicar manufacturers failed to inform her and her doctor about the risk of sprue-like enteropathy. The complaint states that complications forced her to undergo emergency intervention, resulting in substantial medical bills. The plaintiff alleges that she would have chosen a different option if she knew about the potential side effects.
Benicar Intestinal Problems MDL
Benicar lawsuits have been consolidated into a multidistrict litigation (MDL), a type of mass tort that transfers similar lawsuits to one court before one judge. The U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) establishes MDLs in order to streamline the legal process and eliminate duplicate discovery, making litigation more efficient. U.S. District Judge Robert Kugler is presiding over the Benicar MDL in New Jersey.
In the Benicar MDL, lawsuits allege that the high-blood pressure drug caused sprue-like enteropathy and subsequent intestinal symptoms, which include diarrhea, nausea, abdominal pain, colitis and other related symptoms. Plaintiffs allege that Daiichi Sankyo and Forest Laboratories knew about the risks but failed to warn patients or the medical community.
Lawsuits in an MDL remain separate. This is distinct from a class action lawsuit, where one complaint represents numerous plaintiffs against a common defendant.
The first lawsuits in a mass tort to go to trial are "bellwether cases". Plaintiffs are often selected as bellwether plaintiffs because they represent the majority of plaintiffs, and the purpose of the bellwether trial is to get a general sense of how the litigation would proceed. Bellwether trials can facilitate settlement talks, for example, if juries continually award large verdicts to the plaintiff.
More than 1,700 Benicar lawsuits are filed into the MDL, court documents indicate. Bellwether trials are scheduled to begin sometime in 2017. The original target date was for late 2016, but pretrial motions appear to be running until at least Mar. 31, 2017. In addition to the MDL, Benicar lawsuits have also been filed in New Jersey state court before Superior Court Judge Nelson Johnson.
Lawsuits in the MDL allege that Benicar caused intestinal symptoms such as chronic diarrhea and malnutrition. Some plaintiffs allege that the hypertension drug caused them to suffer diarrhea 10 or 20 times a day, leading to severe weight loss of 75 to 100 pounds.

Sang Deok Lee and Seul Jung*
International Journal of Control, Automation, and Systems, vol. 18, no. 6, pp.1530-1538, 2020
Abstract : This article introduces a novel identification technique for the inverse model of a dynamical system by a dual-recursive least square (DRLS) algorithm to estimate the disturbance torque in the disturbance observer (DOB) configuration. Since the DOB uses the inverse model to estimate the disturbance, the accurate estimation of the inverse model affects the external torque estimation performance. To estimate the inverse model more accurately, Monte Carlo simulation is conducted for two RLS filters formed a back-to-back cascaded structure to identify both forward and inverse models simultaneously. Although the inverse model can be numerically driven by the identified forward model in the conventional way, we can have the improved accuracy of estimating the inverse model by dual-RLS filters. The effects on the external torque estimation accuracy by the proposed method are experimentally verified by evaluating the performance of estimating the disturbance torque in the control moment gyroscope (CMG) actuator.

To keep you abreast of developments in our situation, here's the latest . . .
Before a decision could be made about my receptivity to proton radiation, I needed two more tests. So . . .
- An MRI was administered to my head since esophageal cancer goes there quickly. I guess those bugger cells think if they can knock out the brain, we won't know they're there. My MRI came back clear – which verified I do have a brain and indicated I can still think!
- I also had a very high resolution PET Scan. There were two purposes for this. First to ensure there was no metastasis. And second to chart the path of the proton radiation into the tumor.
The PET confirmed cancer in the scar tissue as we thought. Unfortunately the PET also revealed a bright spot on my lower spine. My team of Doctors are not sure it's cancer for several reasons, so now I'm back into two more diagnostics to confirm or deny: an MRI targeting that specific area of the spine, and a biopsy to take a tissue sample. These will reveal the reality of that spot.
What are the implications for me? We're not totally sure yet, but the proton radiation decision has still not been made definitively. Maybe next week?
The medical wheels here at MD Anderson do not move forward swiftly, (we've been here now 3 weeks) but they are very thorough as you can see and provide excellent care through very skilled doctors and technicians. We're thankful!
Thanks for your continued prayers and encouragement as we press forward. We'll keep you posted as events unfold.

We have a diverse range of members of all photographic abilities and ages, including students still at school. We are a friendly, enthusiastic bunch and we welcome new members of all photographic standards, from complete beginners to professionals.
Why join a camera club?
A camera club is an excellent place for novices to learn and for experts to broaden their interests. You will be made to feel at home whatever your level of skill, and whatever equipment you use to capture your images – smartphones, simple compact cameras or the latest DSLRs.
You will have the opportunity to receive advice and encouragement from the wealth of experience that our club members have to offer. Some specialise in a particular technique or a photographic genre, and will be happy to share their knowledge and experience with you.
Our members are encouraged to enter their images into club competitions and to get the benefit of feedback from qualified PAGB judges on all aspects of photography and ways of improving their picture taking.
Our programme of meetings, workshops and Special Interest Groups
Most weekly meetings feature either guest speakers or competitions. We have around 16 speakers each season covering a wide variety of topics and genres each season. Each season we hold several Members' Evenings in which members show us their current projects, images or hints and tips. Check out this season's programme of meetings here.
In addition to the Monday meetings we run an extensive programme of Workshops, usually on Thursday evenings. They cover a wide range of topics such as informal critique sessions, studio lighting with models and software training mostly on Photoshop and Lightroom etc. These workshops are run by experienced members who have skills in their field.
There are several Special Interest Groups (SIGs) which meet regularly. These groups currently include monochrome (black and white), macro, landscape walking, London street photography and one group specifically for new or recent members, designed to help them integrate into the club.
Help to achieve distinctions for your photography
If you are interested in progressing your photography towards distinctions awarded by the Royal Photographic Society (RPS) or the Photographic Alliance of Great Britain (PAGB), then there are several members who hold such distinctions and they would be more than willing to give you help and advice.
Several members are judges within the SCPF and will be happy to offer help and advice.
Attend one of our meetings to meet us
If you are interested in joining the club then why not attend a few meetings to find out what it's like? Non-members may attend most meetings as guests, at a charge of £5 for each visit. If you decide to join the club, up to £15 of any payments paid as a guest in the current season will be deducted from your subscription.
How to join
Annual membership for our season starting on Monday September 7th costs £55. That's the equivalent of around £1.50 per meeting.

Kim + Adam – Sea Dream Yacht, Virgin Islands Wedding
On November 11th we boarded the Sea Dream yacht in Puerto Rico for Kim and Adam's wedding, what a treat we were in for. I was first contacted by Adam to film their wedding just a few weeks earlier. He had seen a Cinevate ad that featured us in DV magazine and decided to contact us. Before we new it we were on the way to Puerto Rico!
We sailed from Puerto Rico to St. John overnight and woke up with the amazing scenery of the Virgin Islands. The wedding and reception were held on the Sea Dream yacht as it was anchored just off the shores of St. John.
Kim and Adam are a super cool couple from New York that wanted to have a wedding that was unique and different. The Sea Dream made for an amazing backdrop to host their wedding with 100 of their closest family and friends. The food was amazing, every meal offered something different but it was all to die for. Lobster, Steak, Mango Jerk Chicken and Roasted duck are just a few of the savory courses that were offered.
Festivo handled the flowers and decor settings creating a fun and tropical vibe for each location on the boat. Mary Bartolucci with Island Style Weddings did an amazing job of keeping the party going and making sure everything was perfect. Sokphalla Ban was the stylist for the day and made sure Kim was looking amazing from sun up to sun down! And Table 4 Photography and I had a great time capturing everything as it happened!
The Ceremony was held on the back deck, it rained at the beginning of the day but then became perfect for the ceremony. It ended with "mozoltov!" and on to the dinner portion of the reception.
The food was served at the reception with elegant style, each tables plates were brought out and reveled at the same time to "Voilà!". There were so many choices and everything was exquisite.
After dinner and speeches the party started with the "Forever" entrance which everyone loved. Then everyone danced the night away ending with an impromptu pool party started by Adam & Kim. It was such an amazing few days!
This is their short film, we did a rush edit because they had a second reception this past friday and wanted to play the short film there. The "Next Day Edit" is an add on to the Feature FIlm, it's awesome to get your Short Film just a week after the wedding day!
So here it is –
Kim & Adam's ingredients –
Venue & Catering – The Sea Dream
Stylist – Sokphalla Ban
Wedding Day Coordinator – Island Style Weddings
Photography – Table 4 Photography
DJ – DJ Snow
Florist – Festivo

Wow! Hope you kept your gear dry once the 'pool party' started. Made me smile. Nice work. 🙂
Man, you are extremely talented. Keep up the great work.
That was wild. Not to mention what a sick party at the end!!!
Stunning…love the pool shots so fun!
Fabulous! Very impressive! Love your style, great composition. Look forward to seeing more.
Absolutely incredible!
Was this shot on SLRs?
AWESOME, Joe! =D
My goodness. What an incredible video. One of my favorite wedding films of all time.
Dear Joe, We feel so lucky to have such a beautiful keepsake of our wedding. It's absolutely PHENOMENAL. Initially we thought we were the only ones re-watching the film 40 times over, but our family and friends can't stop watching it either! So many beautiful moments, fun times and wedding details are being captured in an amazing seven minutes that it's like reliving the whole wedding again. We are so impressed with how tirelessly you and Ryan worked. And we can't thank you enough for creating this incredible short film in less than two weeks, so we could have it for our post-wedding reception! It's been so much fun to work with you and we can't wait to see the full feature film! Many many thanks,Kim and Adam
Simply beautiful… Right on with your style and forward thinking…
Joe, very nice work. I'm sure that was an extremely challenging shoot. I felt like I was on the boat, the whole shot was swaying, but it felt great. Lots of tight, funky spaces, in a way, I'm jealous, but on the other hand, I'm not. You did a fantastic job, I enjoyed it.
Thanks everyone for the great comments! Adam + Kim, you guys are the best!
Joe, this is the film I keep referring back to when I tell my friends about the new force of creativity in the wedding industry. I have no clue who these people are but I thoroughly enjoy this each time I watch it! I'll be keeping an eye out for more.
amazing wedding video!!!!

Watch as Jeanne Marrazzo, MD, Associate Professor Of Medicine, Division of Infectious Disease at the University of Washington in Seattle, explains chlamydia.
Dr. Marrazzo:
Chlamydia is a bacteria that actually is the most common bacteria of sexually transmitted infection in the United States, and it is a bug that basically infects women at their cervix, which is the opening to the uterus, or the womb. The problem with that is that once it gets there, women often do not realize they have it because it does not cause symptoms. So women do not have trouble with vaginal discharge or itching or burning or belly pain. It is a very sort of secret, stealthy infection, and the problem is that if you do not recognize and treat it, it can then get up into your pelvis. So it can get into the uterus, it can get into the ovaries, and it can cause inflammation and irritation up there that sets women up for long-term problems. Those long-term problems include things like problems getting pregnant in particular, problems with chronic pelvic or belly pain, problems getting pregnant in your tubes or tubal pregnancy. So it is just not a good thing for women, and the problem with that is it is incredibly common. We see it probably in our routine clinics between 1 in 10 and 1 in 7 women. So it is a really, really common infection that women need to know about and know how to protect themselves against.

SensoLyte® 520 HCV Protease Assay Kit *Fluorimetric*
The SensoLyte® 520 HCV Assay Kit uses a new FRET peptide substrate that incorporates 5-FAM (fluorophore) and QXL® 520 (quencher) for a continuous measurement ofEnzyme activities. In the intact FRET peptide, the fluorescence of 5-FAM is quenched by QXL® 520. Upon cleavage of the FRET peptide by HCV NS3/4a protease, the fluorescence of 5-FAM is recovered and can be continuously monitored at excitation/emission = 490 nm/520 nm. With superior fluorescence quantum yield and longer emission wavelength, this 5-FAM/QXL® 520-based FRET peptide shows less interference from autofluorescence of test compounds and cellular components. This assay is ten times more sensitive than an EDANS/DABCYL based assay and can detect 0.1 pmole of HCV NS3/4a protease. The assays are performed in a convenient 96-well or 384-well microplate format. The kit contains: 5-FAM/QXL® 520-based FRET peptide substrate (Ex/Em=490/520 nm upon cleavage), Fluorescence reference standard for calibration, A detailed protocol

This post is brought to you in partnership with Jazz Arts Initiative. All opinions are our own.
Did your big Valentines Day plans flop? Or did you completely forget the big heart and kisses day even existed? If so, we've got a fail safe plan to get you out of the doghouse and into the main living area of your SO's heart with stellar jazz this Thursday, Friday and Saturday night. That's three golden opportunities to show your loved one that you really do care.
And if you and your friends survived the Feb. 14 insta-love fest of feelings, balloons, proposals and chocolate, going out on the town to The Jazz Room is a great way to celebrate.
Charlotte's own Adrian Crutchfield plays Grover Washington Jr. on Thursday night
Queen City native Adrian Crutchfield has a huge local following, and after a few notes on the sax, you'll see why. A graduate of the Northwestern School of the Arts, this cool cat has played with Lionel Richie, CeeLo Green, Bette Midler and (wait for it) Prince and the New Power Generation.
Crutchfield and his stage mates will wield some magic as he reimagines the sounds of Grover Washington, Jr., an influential saxophonist with hits including "Inner City Blues" and "Just the Two of Us." Isn't it romantic? We say yes.
Neal Caine plays Charles Mingus on Friday and Saturday night
Nothing quite gets the toes tapping and heart pumping like some fierce bass, and Neal Caine is going to bring it home this weekend. You might recognize Caine from his appearances on Harry Connick Jr.'s TV show as part of his band. Yes, he's that good. The two have been hanging out and making music together since 2000. Impressive!
Caine, his bass and a jazz ensemble will play the tunes of one of the most influential jazz musicians of the 20th century, Charles Mingus. An accomplished pianist, bass player, band leader and composer, Mingus played alongside Charlie Parker, Miles Davis, Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington. Good company.
The best date of the year
Not only do you get to spend the evening listening to some amazing talent, but you can do it for an affordable price. Tickets for Thursday's shows, at 6 p.m. and 8:15 p.m., start at $16 in advance and $18 at the door. Make the night unforgettable (and really get on his or her good side) with a Cabaret table for two, which includes drink tickets.
Put it on repeat Friday and Saturday night with shows at 6 p.m. and 8:15 p.m., with $14 advance tickets or $16 at the door. We say save your money for a discount Valentine's Day card for next year so you'll be prepared.
You'll fall in love with the cozy jazz club feel and bar right near the action. Valentine perfection can't be rushed.

Scott Weidensaul does it again
We're pretty stoked because Scott Weidensaul, one of North America's finest nature writers and a heckuva nice guy, included us in his latest book, Return to Wild America (North Point Press 2005). Here's Scott during the visit to Arizona that he described in Chapter 9, admiring a freshly banded Violet-crowned Hummingbird prior to its release.

Nowadays, nanotechnology is considered the modern industry's key technology. Ranging in size from 1 to 100 nanometers, nanoparticles have become used more frequently in the production process of day-to-day consumer goods over the last years. The reason for this development lies in their special chemical and physical properties. Titanium oxide, for example, is utilized in miscellaneous skin creams because of its capacity to absorb UV radiation which is harmful to humans.
Since the usage of nanomaterials in produced goods is estimated to be 15 % for 2014 and the market continues to grow, the necessity for more information about the impact of nanoparticles on human beings and the environment is evident. In May, the project "Fate of Nanomaterials in Incineration Facilities" will start under the coordination of the Fraunhofer Institute UMSICHT. Its goal is to investigate the separation behavior of consumer goods containing nanoparticles. Moreover, the impact of the thermal utilization on human beings and the environment is to be assessed.
To this end, combustion tests will be carried out at the Fraunhofer Insitute UMSICHT and TEER. Utilizing grate firing and a fluidized combustion system, several incarnations with the respective sample fuel will be executed. The company Herding will actualize the setting and the adaption of the filter media. Additionally, field trials using materials that contain nanoparticles will take place in the waste incineration plant in Weisweiler. This step will take place in close cooperation with the company Junker-Filter GmbH and FILTEq GmbH. Simultaneously, the Institute of Particle Technology at the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg will be working on a model filter to examine the filter material in terms of separated nanoparticles. In conclusion, the Institute for Environmental Toxicology at the Medical Faculty of the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg will research the impact of nanoparticles on the human being and the environment. That will require samples from the tests on a pilot plant scale and the practiscal trails respectively.
Scientific and technical goals of the project, among others, are:
- Extending the knowledge of the nanoparticles' behavior during waste incineration
- The qualified assessment of the preservation of nano-characteristics after a thermal waste treatment
- Securing initial qualitative and, if possible, quantitative findings about distribution paths of nanoparticles in ash, filter dust and exhaust

Recently a few friends of mine have started doing game nights every (or most every) Friday night. I have to admit that I really enjoy this, and not just because there's a young lady there who I rather like. It's about community, and community is important, whether it's a meal with people from the church, game night with friends, going to see a movie, or just hanging out drinking whiskey and talking about Jesus (and yes, the two of those go together very well).
We weren't made to live alone, and all too often most of us do. Even those of us who spend lots of time with people often feel alone, in fact I would go so far as to say that loneliness is one of the most significant modern problems. We've forgotten how to live in community, how to get outside of ourselves. Life together, as Bonhoeffer titled his book, is about more than just spending time around people. It is about getting to know them, investing in their lives and letting them invest in yours. Life together is about becoming a family, trusting one another, accepting one another, forgiving one another, and helping one another, and this is something that we aren't taught to do anymore.
As Americans, we live in a society that is so completely opposed to the concept of 'togetherness' that we've turned selfishness into a virtue. Individuality is the highest goal in American society, but we've made it such a high goal that we even see it's flaws as golden, or at least gilded in gold. Personal ambition, greed, selfishness, pride… all things that we not only put up with, but seek after. Oh, we rename them sometimes: pride becomes self-confidence, ambition becomes goal-orientation, greed becomes success, and selfishness becomes individual expression, but they still leave us lonely and unfulfilled.
This is not to say that utter dependency is a wonderful thing. To be unable to do anything on your own simply makes you a burden. However, as I have said before, everything is balance. If I must give up some of myself to have five people in my life who know me and love me anyway (not the easiest thing in the world, certainly), then is it not worth the sacrifice?
I have to admit that this is not a balance that I've yet found. As in many things, I tend to vacillate between extremes without ever managing to settle at a comfortable medium. It is something that, at least I hope, God is still working on me in.

Jenny Wong discusses how the proposed changes to thin capitalisation rules in the Federal Budget may affect inward and outward tax consolidated groups.
Thin capitalisation changes featured in this year's Federal Budget. There was issue floating around a few years back with some clients that were both an inward and outward consolidated group. The issue was whether they could have unrestricted access the worldwide gearing test.
Before 2014, the issue arose because if it was an inward and outward standalone entity, the taxpayer does not have access to the worldwide gearing test (and therefore not permitted access to a higher level of debt allowance before interest expense is denied as a deduction).
The way the law was drafted before the thin cap changes in 2014 is that an inward and outward consolidated group received the benefit of the worldwide gearing test (see 820-583(5) & 820-90) despite the fact a standalone entity that was both inward and outward for thin purposes could not. Broadly, this was on the basis that a literal reading of s820-583 treated a head company of an inward and outward consolidated group as only being an outward investing entity and not an inward investing entity per s820-583(5) and so it could access the worldwide gearing test since it was not also an inward investing entity.
Under the 2014 thin cap changes (Tax and Superannuation Laws Amendment (2014 Measures no.4) Act 2014), the position did not changed. However, the worldwide gearing test in the 2014 amendments extending the test to inward and outward entities is narrower as there is an integrity rule that must be satisfied before entities can access the test – refer s820-90(2)(c) and (3) which applies to an outward investing entity which is also an inward investing entity. Generally, the Australian assets cannot exceed more than 50 percent of the worldwide assets. This integrity rule does not apply to an inward and outward consolidated or Multiple Entry Consolidated (MEC) group (s820-90(1)(c) does not include an equivalent 50 percent threshold test). The explanatory memornadum (EM) at the time at paragraph 1.43 contains an explicit acknowledgment that the head company of a tax consolidated group or MEC group that is both inward investing and outward investing is an 'outward' investing entity for the purposes of the worldwide gearing debt test and confirms that the worldwide gearing test in s820-110 for outward investing entities would apply. Section 820-110 explicitly states that the method statement applies where the entity is an outward investor (general) and not also an inward investment vehicle.
This raises the question of whether this is the right policy outcome though, as standalone entities that are both inward and outward have a higher threshold to meet to access interest deductions than consolidated groups that are both inward and outward, before they can access the worldwide gearing test.
Well, it looks like the Government is on the same page now. The Government announced on Federal Budget night on 8 May 2018 they will ensure that foreign controlled Australian consolidated entities and multiple entry consolidated groups that control a foreign entity are treated as both outward and inward investment vehicles for thin capitalisation purposes. This will apply for income years commencing on or after 1 July 2019. This change will ensure that inbound investors cannot access tests that were only intended for outward investors.

First, I want to say thank you so much for visiting my shop and supporting my handmade dream. I adore all of my customers, and I am so grateful for each and every one of you.
So … what's the story behind Double the Stitches?
The name of my shop, Double the Stitches, was dreamed up one sleepless night after bringing home our newborn twin boys and thinking that any time I wanted to make something for them I'd need "double the stitches"! They are my gifts and my reasons and my inspiration.
How do you spend your days?
I spend my days working at a wonderful local yarn shop, Infinite Yarns. located in Farmingdale, NY. I feel so lucky that I get to help other knitters and crocheters find the perfect fibers for their next project, help them find patterns to make their crafting visions come true, and walk them through patterns when they get stuck. I also love teaching classes at the shop, and truly enjoy the opportunity to help someone learn to knit or crochet – giving them a skill they can use for a lifetime.
You can also find me working with the Knit and Crochet Group at the Island Trees Library!
How long have you been stitchin'?
I first learned the art of crochet as a young girl, and have been perfecting my skills and learning new techniques for almost 25 years now. Knitting was something I hoped that I would one-day master (working with 2 needles seemed daunting at first!) until I took it on as a New Years' resolution after I had my twin boys 7 years ago, and I was instantly hooked!
What are your favorite materials to create with?
I've always had a love and a passion for creating by hand, and enjoy working with all types of materials. My current favorite fibers are natural ones … fuzzy angora, mohair, and baby alpaca – they are soft, delicate, dreamy, luxurious with a beautiful halo.
What's the best part of being a prop knitter?
There is nothing sweeter and more rewarding than seeing an item I handcrafted on a sweet adorable little baby and having the opportunity for my work to be a small part of their newborn photos that will be forever cherished.
I also love knitting winter accessories for adults, and some of my work has been seen in various publications under my previous brand, Swell Knits.

If we Americans needed any more confirmation that people in other countries frequently pay more attention to what is happening in our political landscape than we do (not to mention more than we pay attention to happenings in their countries), let this be an additional reminder: RUV, Iceland's National broadcasting network, will have live coverage of the US election results tomorrow, starting at 11:15 PM:
Watching the election results come in has been a nerve-wracking (and lengthy) event the last few times, so I am glad to have the additional elements to focus on this time around. I think it will be fascinating to see how the United States' election is disseminated in Iceland (do they tap into an American station's feed? are there subtitles? is there commentary?), so should you be curious as well, I'll try to post semi-regular updates on the Icelandic coverage here as we all wait for the final results tomorrow night (morning for us…)

I'm interested in how libraries can better serve digital humanities researchers as providers of data and source material. Specifically, as we make determinations for digitization, metadata, and interfaces, how can we optimize the content for discovery and use by digital humanities researchers? I've been thinking about this for archives/special collections in particular. I'm also aware of an RFP that the HathiTrust Research Center has put out that's along these lines (www.hathitrust.org/htrc).
Has anyone else been thinking about how to boost discovery, access, and use of library resources (of any types and formats) for DH scholars? What have you been doing to connect these researchers to collections at your own institutions, and what more could we be doing collaboratively and/or at network scale?

Companies can consider exclusive promotional gifts, in edition or not, made to your corporate taste. A small bronze sculpture for your best customers, a work of art for someone leaving the company or an achievement award for company staff.
Including the complete design and making of a commemorative token, accomplishment prize, 25 years of employment, company logo or promotional gift, in a series or a unique piece are a few of the possibilities.
All of the work will be completely supervised and performed by me, in cooperation with my foundry, Atelier 80 in Dreumel, a guarantee for constant quality. The sculptures can be fitted with a natural stone, bronze or wooden base, in a diverse range of colors, sizes and types.
Making a bronze sculpture is a process that takes a lot of time because of the many manual procedures. Delivery also depends on the type of assignment and if I can make the necessary time, available in my agenda. If you need more information, please call or send me an E-mail.

Hof van Cleve Belgium's best restaurant, says GaultMillau
The new GaultMillau guide for Belgium and Luxembourg is out, with Flanders hosting the best restaurant, best discovery and best wine list
Ypres' Souvenir is best discovery
Flanders was heavily featured amongst the other top restaurants in the new guide. Souvenir in Ypres was named among the best discoveries of the year, most beautiful terrace was given to La Source in Lanaken, Limburg, and the best wine menu can be found at Nuance in Duffel, Antwerp province.
The Jane (pictured) in Antwerp earned the title of most talked-about newcomer, while Roeselare's Boury – together with Samouraï in Brussels – snagged most improved. Ghent also walked away with several mentions: Michaël Vrijmoed was named best young chef for his restaurant Vrijmoed and Publiek won in the price/quality category.

In today's digital landscape, Information Services organizations increasingly realize that huge volumes of valuable data remain unused and there is a need to put it to work to reap its benefits. This is particularly true in the context of Digital Publishing and Information Services organizations; global footprints, constant mergers and acquisitions, and day-to-day operations have led to the growth of unprecedented volumes of big data, including structured, open, and unstructured data.
The monetization of this data promises huge benefits for Information Services enterprises. Yet, to date, many have struggled to do so. Now is the time to act! As businesses become increasingly commoditized, Information Services enterprises need to find ways to generate revenues and create new services.

Lots of availability. Covid conscious! Lots of mosquitos!
Just off the road has a small pool a playground and great view of the blue mountains
Wish I'd stayed here for more than one night. Beautiful spot with cabins, tent and RV options. Cabins come with a private outdoor patio, fire pit and soaking tubs. Super comfy bed and a nice quiet space. There are full bathrooms with showers close by. Super friendly staff too! Good food, a brewery and drive in theater near by. And a nice hot springs fed pool! Great getaway!
I wish we had more time at this spot. Beautiful scenery. Small but very clean pool. The campgrounds are very well taken care of. Pet friendly, family friendly.
This place is great!!! They were so friendly! The tent sites are large and grassy with plenty of shade! You even get WiFi at them. They have a pool and hot tub that is heated by the hot springs! Fairly priced and fun! Bathrooms were nice and clean. There is a gravel road if you go in one way so take the next exit.
On our way to Portland from SLC we decided to book a Yurt on AirBnb at Grande Hot Springs Resort. We arrived the evening of 14 April after a long day of driving from Burley. Checking in was a snap. The Yurt was clean and fresh with a private courtyard and soaking tub backing up to a pond looking up a hillside. Being early spring it was cold enough at night to keep the mosquitos at bay. From our Yurt we walked around the hot lake to the Historic Hot Lake Hotel. The glow of the setting sun against the hotel facade is best described as a scene from "The Shining." Creepy in a stepping back in time kind of way. I'm attracted to those old west neo-classical buildings that have survived and being revived. Back to the Yurt, the only downside was having to take a hike to use the toilet.
Tent camping is away from the RVs at this site. Comfortable, clean grounds with included hot springs pool access, indoor store, and full bathroom facilities. We loved it so much that we stayed here two nights. Beware of ticks near the grass area. Cool off with ice cream and cold drinks at the store. Everyone was wonderful to work with and speak to.
Very nice facility. We stayed in a tent, the tent sites are away from the RVs. Nice setting across a creek and in the trees. Beautiful starry sky at night, and we woke up to an impressive amount of birds singing. Take bug spray!! Mosquitoes were awful in the evening before we got spray on.
The bathrooms and showers are clean and nice. They have a pool and soaking tubs from the natural hot springs (unfortunately we didn't get time to check these out thoroughly, they look nice though!) Bit of a walk to the restroom from the tent sites, but there is a portapotty closer if you prefer.
Mainly for rv's but they do have yurts available and nice tents spots. Very clean bathroom and shower, nice place all around. The tent sites are away from the rv's so the view is spectacular.

How preppers deal with insomnia naturally:
Lack of sleep is often a result of an overactive mind. Stresses at
ob loss
, divorce, death of a loved one, menopause, illness
or an emergency situation ~ all can cause insomnia.
During a crisis, your mind could be hyper alert with thoughts

be able to follow through on an effective strategy of survival,
which is why it's important for preppers to take note of natural
remedies for insomnia. Take heed of these essential oils for sleep
How to Deal with Insomnia
Herbs and essential oils already are part of the homesteading life
that preppers have embraced. Preppers who aspire to grow a
medicinal garden should first learn how the herbs can help
improve the quality of life. To that end, below are the top natural
remedies for insomnia.
If you suffer from insomnia you can significantly improve the
quality of sleep with these natural remedies:
#1: Melatonin.
For both insomnia and fatigue you can turn to natural relief of
. The secret of sleeping better has to do with the
dosage size. Choose only 1-5 mg. doses.
Melatonin is a potent free radical scavenger naturally or hormone
produced in your pineal gland and present in high amounts in the
gastrointestinal tract. It helps to regulate the body's natural
biorhythm, but too much of a good thing won't help you sleep.
When melatonin levels are low, less of the hormone is released
into the bloodstream, resulting in restlessness or wakefulness.
You can restore balance to your body with Melatonin, but
remember, less is more. Look for a melatonin that's 5-mg or less
to help you get into a healthy sleep cycle. You may otherwise
wake up with a headache!

This dietary supplement of iodine and potassium iodide is a
calming sleep aid. Lugols contains iodine which has the natural
function of calming the body and relieving nervous tension. When
the body is saturated with iodine, the mind works better and the
result is clear thinking and a relaxed state.
Why does iodine work for sleep? An essential mineral your body
depends on for healthy thyroid function, iodine is vital to support
your metabolism, maintain energy levels and fight fatigue. Iodine
is necessary for the thyroid gland to work properly. Your thyroid
works hard ~ all the blood in your body passes through it every
17 minutes or so. If your iodine intake from food and water is
low, then your gland gets deprived of the much needed element
that it needs to work.
Lugols also can help resolve cancers, such as thyroid cancer. We
usually get iodine from our diet, however the soil is depleted of
essential nutrients and iodine is one of those minerals. In Japan
the average consumption of iodine is 10-14mg daily and
has one of the lowest cancer rates in the developed world

After a month of eating nothing but Chinese food, I hit a wall that every laowai (or expat) living in China must hit–I simply could not stomach anymore Chinese food. The thought of another bowl of niu rou mian (beef noodle soup), or another plate of sheng jian bao (pan fried dumplings), or even my favorite Shanghainese dish hong shao rou (soy sauce braised pork), made me grimace.
But thankfully for me, there is an abundance of delicious and affordable Western restaurants and cafes in Shanghai, catering to the thousands of hungry and homesick expats living in the city. My favorite among them was Sunflour, located a few short clocks from my apartment on tree-lined Anfu Road.
Sunflour Cafe quite literally saved me from starvation, on that fateful day in Shanghai when I was lost amidst a sea of Chinese restaurants. After a few hours of wandering around the French Concession in search of an affordable, non-Chinese lunch option, I was about to give up and go home, when I turned the corner onto Anfu Road and discovered Sunflour. Immediately lured in by the smell of fresh baked bread and pastries, I decided to give their lunch menu a try and ordered the grilled chicken sandwich with tomato, rocket, avocado, and mayo on a baguette (50 RMB).
The sandwich was phenomenal. The baguette, baked in-house, had a crisp exterior and soft, airy interior that held up well under the moist grilled chicken. I loved the addition of tomatoes, avocado, and rocket arugula–a combination of fresh ingredients that one would certainly find in my home state of California. Accompanied by a lovely bean salad, Sunflour's grilled chicken sandwich was a steal at 50 RMB (just under $8 USD), and was just what I needed to refuel after a long and hot summer day in Shanghai.
I couldn't leave Sunflour without sampling one (or rather, all) of their delectable macarons. I split a gift box of macarons (50 RMB) with a friend, which included a lovely assortment of six macarons. My favorite flavor was the lemon, a refreshing end to a refreshing meal.
