Validity and stability of performance-based estimates of premorbid educational functioning in older patients with schizophrenia
Philip D Harvey, Joseph I. Friedman, Christopher Bowie, Avraham Reichenberg, Susan R. McGurk, Michael Parrella, Leonard White, Kenneth L. Davis
This paper presents the results of two studies of the validity of word-recognition reading as an indicator of premorbid functioning in schizophrenia. The first examined the stability over a 6-year follow-up period of word recognition reading compared to other aspects of cognitive functioning, including verbal learning and delayed recall, verbal fluency, constructional skills, and naming ability. The second study examined the relative predictive power of indicators of premorbid functioning as compared to current cognitive functioning for the prediction of current social and self-care skills. In the first study 218 patients with chronic schizophrenia participated. For the second study, 231 male veterans with schizophrenia were assessed for cognitive functioning, indicators of premorbid adjustment, and current functional status. Analyses of the differences between correlations indicated that word recognition reading ability was significantly more stable than other aspects of cognitive functioning over a six-year period during which decline in some other aspects of performance was found. In the second study, premorbid educational and social attainment, word recognition reading skill, and current cognitive functioning were all significantly related to current functional status, defined by correlations with ratings of current functional status. Path analyses indicated, however, that current cognitive functioning was the only significant predictor of current functional status when the intercorrelations of the variables were considered. In sum, Premorbid functioning estimated with word-recognition reading was stable over time (study 1) and correlated with both current cognitive and functional status (study 2). The results of these two studies suggest that word-recognition reading skills are useful screening instruments to estimate premorbid functioning even in deteriorated patients with schizophrenia.

If you're considering an image transfer method for your product and you don't know where to start, screen printing is a common and popular option. But just because it's popular doesn't mean it's the best choice! You need your product decoration to stand out from the competition, so you want to choose an image transfer method that will produce a high-quality label that is vibrant and eye-catching. Digital heat transfer produces photo-quality images that can be transferred to virtually any material--including glass, plastic, metal, and ceramic--and will look beautiful no matter the color of the product being decorated.
First, your image or logo is cut out into a stencil form. This form is then placed on a frame of wire mesh and chemicals are used to burn through mesh, leaving an open area in the shape of your image. The frame is then placed over your product and ink is forced through the stencil and applied to your product. Screen printing is commonly used to decorate apparel items such as tote bags and t-shirts.
How does screen printing compare to digital heat transfer?
Although screen printing is popular, that does not mean it is the best choice for every project. In fact, in most cases digital heat transfer is by far the superior method. This is because digital heat transfer creates beautiful, high-quality images that screen printing simply cannot match. In addition to the quality of the print, digital heat transfer also offers the huge benefit of the fact that it allows you to include variable data in your design. While with screen printing a new screen would need to be made for any change in data, digital heat transfers can accommodate multiple images in a single run and can include variable data in each image. This makes it perfect for products on which you need to print unique identifying information such as QR codes or bar codes. Lastly, digital heat transfers can accommodate runs of virtually any size thanks to the fact that they require no set-up fees. At CDigital, we offer low order minimums and our film is economical even for short runs, a benefit that screen printing simply cannot match. Contact the experts at CDigital today to find out how our digital heat transfer film is the ideal solution for your product decoration needs!

Another Monday! This weekend was full of R&R, a girl's night out, Mexican takeout, errands, chores, a trip to the Farmer's Market and ended with a nice dinner out with D's dad. The degrees are dropping though but the sun is still out!
I haven't posted my everyday life photos in a while so I thought I would play catch up. For newer readers, I try to take a picture at least once a day to capture our daily lives and activities and posted every couple weeks.
We took a very long walk in a beautiful park to get to a play area for the kids... when we weren't allowed into one area, we headed to another one.... and it was looong for these little ones. Here is my aunt with Cass taking a break.
Happy Birthday Aunty Vee-Dee-- as A calls her... We had impromptu cake (and some amazing home cooked food) that day. This was our last full day in NYC so we filled it with packing, shopping (me), pottery (my mom and Cass) and loads of family time!
En route to Canada-- stuffing our faces--- as per the course on road trips, no? Especially ten hour road trips.
Lazy little moments like these make me so happy that I'm not in the corporate world anymore and I was able to spend all summer with the girls.
Orientation for school. A was all like--- this is too simple, give me some challenge people!
Because I am a super cool mom, my girls and I had a make-up party! They loved it but don't get any ideas, other family members--- it was a one time deal!
Elsa and Anna played for a bit.
Here we are at the CNE. Such a fun day before school started.
Because indoor s'mores are the best way to end the summer vacation!
My baby (and her backpack)--- begins school!
These silly moments crack me up!
Have a wonderful Monday, all!!! This week is filled on my end with continuing my total re-org of the girls' closets and room. Jealous much?
Love all of your pictures! What a neat idea! And I am totally making those indoor S'mores! I kinda have a S'more obsession!
The American girl dolls pic is too cute!!! And I hear you on the closet re-org ... both my kids have so many clothes in theirs that don't fit anymore but I just haven't been motivated to clean them out!
What a great idea! This way you have a memory of every single day, love it.
Your sweet girls are absolutely BEAUTIFUL! It looks like you have had so much fun with them in the past few weeks!
Your daughters are gorgeous!! What fun ideas and things to be thankful for:) SO sweet!
Can cas and Anjali look any cuter? They are two of a kind.


The first thing you need to know about sales tax in Hawaii is that the state doesn't technically impose one. What it does have, however, is a General Excise Tax (GET), which applies to transactions involving goods and services conducted within the state at all levels. So, if you're starting a business or expanding to include Hawaii in your company's service area, it's important to understand how the GET works and how it may apply to you.
The GET rate in Hawaii is 4% on retail sales, with an additional 0.5% added in Oahu in the form of a county surcharge. Wholesale transactions are taxed at a rate of 0.5% statewide. What makes the GET different from a traditional sales tax is that it's a tax on the business selling the goods or providing the service rather than on the purchaser.
The seller is permitted to pass on the tax to the consumer, however, with a maximum of 4.166% charged to the consumer in areas where the effective GET rate is 4%, and maximum of 4.712% where the rate the seller pays is 4.5%. Businesses must explicitly inform customers that they are passing on the GET in this way.
Voluntarily registering to pay the GET may also create a nexus condition for a business depending on the specific circumstances of their situation.
The GET applies to all retail sales of tangible personal property and services, with few exceptions. These exceptions include prescription drugs in some instances, as well as some medical devices, and all sales to the federal government are exempt. Overall, though, any item purchased at retail is subject to a GET charge being added to it.
The 0.5% GET rate that applies to wholesaling also covers manufacturing, producing, providing wholesale services, and the business activities of disabled people. In addition to retail sales, the 4% GET rate applies to other business activities, including renting, leasing real property, construction contracting, and earning commissions.
When it comes to providing services, any that are performed in Hawaii are subject to the GET even if the company doing the work or providing the workers is based elsewhere. The GET does not apply, however, to goods shipped by a Hawaii-based company to a customer in another state or country.
You must apply for a GET license before you can begin doing business in Hawaii. This can be done in person or by mail by filling out the State of Hawaii Basic Business Application BB-1 Packet that can be found on the state website. You can also apply online directly through the Hawaii Business Express portal. There is a one-time fee to apply of $20, and the license does not need to be renewed.
If you apply by mail, you should receive your license in the mail in 10-15 days. If you apply online, you'll receive an email containing you license number 3-5 days after making your submission. A physical license will arrive in the mail shortly thereafter. At the time that you apply, your filing frequency will be assigned based on your estimated annual tax liability. If this amount changes, however, you must modify your filing frequency by first notifying the state and then filing the appropriate return.
In general, you will file your GET returns on a semi-annual basis if your annual tax liability is $2,000 or less. If you have an annual tax liability of between $2,000 and $4,000, you will file quarterly, and an annual liability of over $4,000 will mean you are assigned monthly filing status. You can file your returns online through the state website or by mail.
Regardless of your method of filing or your filing frequency, your GET returns will be due on the 20th of the month following the close of the period in question. For annual filers, that will mean a due date of January 20th of the following year. If the due date falls on a weekend or holiday, it is pushed back to the next business day.
Failure to file and pay on time will result in a penalty of 5% of the total tax due per month or part of month that your payment is delinquent, up to a maximum of 25%. Interest is also added onto your balance at a rate of 0.66% per month.
Whether your company is based in Hawaii or you simply do regular business there, you will need to keep track of all of your sales transactions that are subject to the GET in order to remain compliant and to keep your account in good standing with the state. This can be a challenge, particularly if you do business in multiple states, as the specific requirements for establishing nexus and determining what is and isn't taxable can vary a great deal from one state to another.
TaxTools can significantly ease that burden, however, thanks to the impressive array of features it provides to help you manage your GET tax payments and record-keeping. This suite of software can provide up-to-date reports complete with location information for all of your sales, and it makes filing your returns as easy as possible as well. It also integrates smoothly with all ecommerce platforms, so no matter how you reach your customers, TaxTools can help you keep your business running smoothly.

Kyphosis is an exaggerated rounding of the upper back, sometimes called a hunchback. Most often found in postmenopausal women, when it is referred to as a "dowager's hump," it is also fairly common in adolescent girls. At times, kyphosis is a congenital condition and it may also show up in boys between the ages of 10 and 15 as a manifestation of the hereditary disorder known as Scheuermann's kyphosis. Individuals with osteoporosis or who have connective tissue disorders, such as Marfan syndrome, are also at greater risk of developing kyphosis. Although patients with kyphosis may suffer back pain, stiffness or fatigue, most people with mild cases have no discernible symptoms.

Q: $\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{J_1 (bx)}{x+a} = \pi \frac{0}{0}$? I need to solve
$I=\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{J_1 (bx)}{x+a}$.
According to "Table of integrals, series, and products"(page 678) by I.S.Gradshteĭn & I.M.Ryzhik,
$\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{J_{\nu}(bx)}{x+a}= \frac{\pi}{sin(\pi \nu)}(\mathbf{J}_{\nu}(ab)-J_{\nu}(ab)), \;\;\; [b>0, \;\; |arg(a)|< \pi, \;\; Re(\nu)> -1]$,
where $\mathbf{J}_{\nu}(x)$ is the Anger function and $J_{\nu} (x)$ a Bessel function of the first kind. Now, for $\nu$ integer, both the Anger and the Bessel function are the same, in which case, I am left with:
$\int_{0}^{\infty} \frac{J_1 (bx)}{x+a} =  \pi \frac{0}{0}$
Does anybody know an alternative way to get the solution for $I$ ? Is there even a solution?
Thank you.

A: Use
$$
\frac{1}{z}=\int_0^\infty ds\ e^{-s z}
$$
to write your integral as
$$
I=\int_0^\infty ds\ e^{-a s}\int_0^\infty dx\ J_1(bx)e^{-s x}=
\int_0^\infty ds\ e^{-a s}\left[\frac{1}{b}-\frac{1}{b \sqrt{\frac{b^2}{s^2}+1}}\right]
$$
$$
=\frac{1}{ab}-\frac{1}{b}b\int_0^\infty ds\ e^{-ab s}\frac{s}{\sqrt{1+s^2}}=\boxed{\frac{1}{ab}+\frac{1}{2} \pi  H_{-1}(a b)+\frac{1}{2} \pi  Y_1(a b)}\ ,
$$
where $H$ is a Struve function and $Y$ a Bessel function (for $a,b>0$).

Dead or alive? Taliban denies rumors of Mullah Omar's death, blames…hacking
By Michelle Malkin • July 20, 2011 12:03 AM
What a day, huh?
Late-breaking news tonight is that Taliban "supreme leader" Mullah Omar may be dead. Or not.
In an uncanny turn of current events, the Taliban reportedly claims its phones have been hacked:
KABUL: Two Taliban spokesmen said their mobile phones had been hacked and false text messages sent out on Wednesday reporting the death of the movement's supreme leader Mullah Omar, who is still alive.
"This is the work of American intelligence, and we will take revenge on the telephone network providers," said spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid, when contacted by Reuters to confirm the veracity of one text message.
The messages came from phone numbers used in the past by both Mujahid and a second spokesman Mohammad Qari Yousuf and said "spiritual Leader Mullah Mohammad Omar Mujahid has died" and "May Allah bless his soul".
No word on whether any graphic photos accompanied the "hacked" messages.
In related news: New Study Asserts Taliban Faction Closely Linked to al-Qaida
A new study says a key faction of the Taliban has been far closer to al-Qaida than some previous analyses have suggested, raising fresh questions about Pakistan's alleged support for terrorist groups and the prospects for peace negotiations on Afghanistan.
Most terrorism experts have long believed that the Taliban and al-Qaida, while sharing a radical ideology, have markedly different goals.
According to this notion, the Taliban fight primarily for local or national issues and is not that interested in the al-Qaida agenda of global jihad against the West.
But a just-released study by the Combating Terrorism Center at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point seeks to dispel that notion, at least in regard to one key Taliban group. Don Rassler, lead author of the report, says the Haqqani network shares al-Qaida's ideology and ambition.
"We challenge the conventional assumption or perception that the Haqqani network is primarily a local actor. And we find that the organization over its three-decade-long evolution in the Afghanistan-Pakistan region has functioned as a strategic enabler of regional, local, and global forms of militancy," says Rassler. "So what we've come down and found was that the Haqqani network while, yes, being a local actor and pragmatic as well, is also committed to the philosophy of expansive and global jihad as perpetrated by al-Qaida."
The Taliban is not a single monolithic organization, but more of a collection of networks. Of those, the Haqqani network is seen as the most dangerous, believed responsible for some of the most spectacular and bloody terrorist attacks in Afghanistan.
End note: Speaking of hacking, here's the story of a Harvard fellow and ethics scholar charged today with "hacking into the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's computer network to steal nearly 5 million academic articles."
And here's another federal hacking crackdown…on a mob of intruders/"hactivists" operating under the shady "Anonymous" banner.

The Cheshire Wills Extraction Project is part of a methodology for breaking down brick walls.
Finding a will for one's ancestor is always a wonderful event and something we all try to do. But sometimes there is no will or other record to hand and we hit the proverbial brick wall. Our next step in the use of wills, would be to search them for a child with the name we need. There are 84 Pemberton wills in the Cheshire Record Office with dates between 1581 and 1784 (any many more later). Since we have no idea how old this Pemberton may have been when he died, we have to consider all the wills with dates over at least a 40 year period. That means that we need to examine 20 or 30 wills. Unless we happen to live near the Cheshire RO, we are faced with a considerable expense coupled with a definite uncertainty about whether we will find anything anyway. This is a daunting circumstance. This project is a solution to this problem. If we get ourselves organized, we can divide up the work and transcribe these wills and make them available to one another. Thus by cooperation we can attain what would be impossible alone.
The Group page for this project is located here.
You record your activity on your personal PFWW profile by entering the code "CWEP" in the "My transcription Projects" field.
Once the data is available, it is entered into a spreadsheet and transmited to the PFWW Technologist. The Technologist then processes the spreadsheet and converts the data into GEDCOM format and uploads the data to the PFWW genealogy storeshouse at PembertonGenealogy.com. This makes the wills data available to the search engines operating in the storehouse.
Wills contain a wide variety of data and every name mentioned in a will is a valuable data point even if the relationship between the name and anyone else is unclear. Consequently, the GEDCOM file coming out of a will may have one or more family groups in it and any number of individuals with or without relational data. These all go into the storehouse. Individuals with unknown relationship to the testator are shown in the storehouse as isolated individuals with source data pointing back to the will and explanatory notes indicating the circumstance of the appearance of the name.
Note 1: These wills are not presently (2010) listed in the Chester Record Office, but do appear in an index published in a book in 1881 and published by Google Books here.
Note 2: These inventories are not presently (2010) listed in the Chester Record Office, but do appear in an index published in a book in 1881 and published by Google Books here.

Former Shawnee resident, with Oklahoma Uprising, to play show at The Grand Casino
Former Shawnee resident Joel T. Mosman will be returning home to perform in concert with his Americana band Oklahoma Uprising at The Grand Casino on November 16 at 9 p.m.
Born and raised in Shawnee, Mosman became interested in music while watching bands perform in Highland Park as a child. He played in the jazz band for Shawnee High School as well as other local bands before graduating from Shawnee High in 2003 and starting a music career beyond Pottawatomie County.

Imagine building an application, deploying it, and having it infinitely scale without managing servers.
Sounds like a pipe dream right?
Nope! It's a reality today with a "serverless" setup.
Going "serverless" is a new way of building and scaling your backend architecture without ever having to ever touch or manage a server.
Let's pretend you are building an app.
You are expecting to make billions within the first week and want this app to scale to handle all of your new users.
So you toss the frontend on a CDN, which scales nicely. Great!
What about your backend Node logic and database?
Tossing the node app on a single Linux box won't scale. Oh no!
Now you need to figure out how to replicate servers, do load balancing, configure autoscaling, containerize everything with docker... the list goes. You need some serious ninja devOps skills to be sitting pretty for all of your traffic.
Wouldn't it be nice if you didn't need to know devOps kung foo?
Think of these pieces as micro micro services.
Each one is a just single function (or lambda). They do one thing and do that one thing very well.
These tinier functions are run individually via a distributed compute-on-demand service, like AWS Lambda.
You are right they delicious.
A lamdba is a function that you can call on demand without needing a server of your own to run the process.
Think about it like an on demand NodeJS instance that will run whatever function you want when you hit it's API endpoint or trigger it with a custom event.
Guess what! Now your backend will scale!
There is, obviously, a little more to it than this, but you get the idea. No more managing servers and AWS will scale out function calls for you.
You now have an app out of the box that will scale to millions of requests without you lifting a finger, AWS does the scaling of these lambda functions for you.
Additional bonus: if you app is a ghost town, you won't be paying an hourly rate for an EC2 instance. You only pay for invocations of the functions and machine time used per 100ms.
For startups/side projects this is a dream state.
Low cost, no maintenance, it just works.
I can't tell you how many EC2 or digital ocean boxes I have setup for "my next big thing" only to pay a monthly fee of $20 per server.
Those costs stack up quickly.
Going serverless should be far more cost efficient for you.
Lamdba revolves around the idea of an event driven model.
#C'mon is this REALLY "Serverless"
How can anything on the web truly be serverless?
Well... The "serverless" isn't without servers. You simply don't need to think about them.
Instead, focus on the real problems you are solving and where you provide value.
Focus on how to get more users, marketing, and the 20 million other things far more important to your business.
Stop worrying about "how are our server boxes doing? Do we need to update anything? Are we secure? What the hell is heart bleed? Will we scale of we get featured on Oprah? etc."
Here are some the resources I've been using to get up to speed AWS lambda.
Props to Austen Collins creator of the serverless framework for inspiring this post. I saw him demo the CLI today here in SF and I'm sold.

The only constant is change. And the more things change, the more they stay the same. Ahh, the Mystery of the Paradox. Life will continue beyond this Full Moon/ Lunar Eclipse/Blood Moon/Harvest Moon, and there will still be unfinished business to attend to over the next six months…or longer. Depending on your perceptions and situation that may sound like welcome or unwelcome news. However, the bottom line as I feel it is this is just another alarm clock ringing to wake us all up. The ringing of the village church bell did the same for folks long before there were clocks, and in the Far East it might have been the drone of Tibetan trumpets. Nonetheless, the call to awaken is happening.
Much has already been written about this "Blood Moon" so I won't revisit the points already made by many very good fellow astrologers. I certainly have stepped back a bit about this one being the big Ending of everything that has transpired in our relationships over the past 18 to 24 months. I also don't buy into any apocalyptic scenarios.
Some are speculating that it may have something to do with Ascension and Wave X. There is an increase of anomalous events and experiences, of that there is no question. I've had missing time, even a missing day, and my visual and auditory senses are shifting and changing. Perhaps Wave X has come, maybe gone, or is out to lunch. Hard to speculate whether this or that date or event is the Big Deal. Personally, I'm not too keen any longer on there ever being such a thing. It's a process, and even though it feels like acceleration, it is still an evolutionary process. At least that's the way it appears and feels to our filters.
In 1997 I was an avid listener of the Art Bell syndicated radio show "Dreamland" in the United States. He penned a book with another writer called "The Quickening", and many predictions about ascension and mass awakenings were foretold for the years 2000 and 2001. What we got instead was a fizzle for the supposed Y2K "millennium bug", followed by the 9/11 attacks, and then the War on Terror. Astrologers were watching and reading other signs of the times before this, and the upcoming Saturn - Pluto opposition clearly indicated that the "party like its 1999" (Prince) was not going to continue into the next decade. We are also still currently under the influence of the Uranus-Pluto cycle, and this Eclipse transpires with four planets in retrograde: Neptune, Chiron, Mercury and Uranus. This tends to color the game a bit, especially with Mercury in Libra. That "other" event, the End of the Mayan calendar in December 2012, may actually be evident in the breakdowns (and some breakups) happening. So perhaps that was the real deal...and it'll just take a long time to unravel. I feel that what this Eclipse challenges us about is to foster cooperation and partnering and and to consider it from a whole new level of Consciousness. Saturn and Pluto are direct, and for the time being Saturn is in the "too early" degrees to make much of a dent in the current energies. He'll be more of a factor by early December.
In the meantime, what can we do with this opportunity? The Sun and Moon are at 4 degrees of Libra and Aries, and yes, they are very close to the North and South Nodes of the Moon, which are at the Super Galactic Center Zero Degree, or World Axis degree. But close only counts in horseshoes, and I defer to the new Eclipse season in March 2016 as the possible final reckoning for what we've been experiencing thus far this year and in 2014. My mind wants to parrot what many others have been saying, as in whatever was happening with you and any significant "others" during the transit of the Nodes in Aries -Libra (and the Venus Retrograde this past summer) then that's it, done and dusted, kiss it all bye-bye. Hmmm… not so fast.
We are human beings. We have a need to relate. We are dependent upon each other as we are for sunlight, water, an oxygen rich atmosphere and good topsoil. Yes, we love our independence and freedom, but without anyone to share it with, we would start to feel like the character Tom Hanks played in the movie Cast Away. His only friend was a volleyball he named Wilson. What I feel this Eclipse is about is a call to reassess our relationship to Human Relationships (and lots more!). Too often we reject the unknown for the known, thinking it's the more practical or pragmatic route. Sometimes we go to an extreme in the other direction, and become lost in the "Other", or in the ideal of Love. Somewhere in the middle there may be a sweet spot, a place where magic and romance can meet practicality and sustainability. Goodness knows that we still have a lot of clean-up work to do around the baggage of hurt we share individually and collectively in affairs of the heart. We are told not to lose our head in love and relationships, but too often that is exactly what needs to happen, because all of our stories and associated emotions are bound up into one big protective ego dance.
A week ago I stumbled across this image on Facebook that I felt initially attracted to, perhaps because of a recent personal experience with someone I feel very close to. Inside my head, I could hear my wounded little not-self egging me on, saying "yeah, so and so has the wrong heart…just blow that off!" When I looked at again I realized what I was engaged in, and immediately saw that the image and its message was like someone else's pain trying to divide my love for this person and turn it into a judgmental hate. I've been seeing a lot of these types of messages lately, and they're dressed up to sound like they are encouraging our sovereignty and designed to get us out of victim consciousness. However I feel that there is message underneath, trying to drive wedges between people by creating mistrust and fear. It certainly plays well to our old wounds and hurts...creating reactions instead of healing. Perhaps we are just all trying too hard to be strong all the time, and now it's being exploited. By who or what isn't the point here, so I'll leave that for the Reader to ponder for now. When I finally commented on this image in the Facebook post, I wrote: "There are no wrong hearts... only confused ones. And they ache to be loved too."
What all this has to do with the Eclipse tonight/tomorrow, and the road ahead, is that I feel that our need for connection and our need for honoring and cultivating new beliefs and behaviors in our relationships is inexorably bound up with the call to pay attention to the much bigger issues facing us as a species. Is our economic model sustainable, and will we avert ecocide in time? Can we cast aside enough of our isolationist and egocentric tendencies that we come to actually care for the strangers in our midst? This may be what part of the Syrian refugee crisis is about. One thing feels certain…we only are given a certain amount of time to align in collaboration with the Planetary Evolutionary (and Cosmic) impulse before higher laws and powers overtake us and force changes necessary for planetary survival. Note that I don't necessarily include us in that prerogative, but I heartily enjoin us to consider what will happen if we choose to continue as we have been. The Chinese have a saying - "if you don't change your direction, you'll end up where you're headed." Or, something like that.
The microcosm and the Macrocosm are infinitely linked…as within, so without, and as above, so below. How we respond to our current individual challenges and the challenges in our relationships, and our response to the global questions I stated above will determine our individual and collective journey ahead. This Eclipse is one of the bookmarks. Yes, some relationships may have to end in order for a change of belief to occur - or a change of belief must occur in order that the right people can line up to create a new paradigm on many levels.
The change of the Nodal Signs is one of the bookends. The next chapter will be read and hopefully understood by next March. We have the time just now, but do we have the trust, will courage and love to do what is necessary? We don't need to trash the people that we've loved or let go of people we care about with rancour or in a vengeful way. What we desperately need though is to let go of the beliefs, wounds, attitudes and suspicions that poison our perceptions and erode the Love that we are, and that gave birth to our existence. Whatever this Eclipse may mean to you, it certainly represents another clearing being made in order for us to claim the opportunities that lie ahead. Knowing is the science of faith, and with Saturn in Sagittarius for the next few years, our faith and beliefs will be tested.
Joy and love are the main ingredients for successfully embracing the healing being offered in these times. It will be the joy of letting go of what no longer serves while loving ALL of you, no matter what you think about your stuff. That goes double about how you perceive the reflections of all the other souls around you. Be gentle with them, and with yourself because Sun in Libra is the ultimate balancing act.

The Solar Eclipse tomorrow reactivates the final Uranus-Pluto conjunction at 17 degrees of Virgo from October 1965. Other synced planets are Mercury in Libra, and Venus in Scorpio conjunct Saturn in Scorpio. The most amazing synchronicity is that Chiron is once again at 19 degrees of Pisces and is retrograde as well.
This feels like an important beginning-ending of a major cycle. Will be interesting to see what unfolds between now and the next eclipse September 27-28th.
Perhaps you've had some major "ah-ha's!" about your current relationship, or your own patterns and values within the context of your relationship. Some of you might have experienced a renewed sense of self-love, and realized that you've lost touch with your own essence and you sought to regain your own sense of self-appreciation and increase your self-care practices.
Then for some there could have been a review of your past partnerships and love affairs, or perhaps some lover or partner from your past came to mind, or in some cases, someone significant may have come back to cross your path. Old feelings may be rekindled, and themes of unrequited love might have erupted too. Love gained and lost are common to the human experience, and sometimes we are not aware of unprocessed emotions and feelings we are holding and they may have rushed into the foreground of your experience during this transit. In a few instances, these renewed contacts are for a final healing and release, or for renewing a choice to move forward together again. Some may have fallen head of heels in love with someone totally new, and some impetuousness could have led into hasty engagements or marriage proposals.
When this retrograde is over we still will have some fog to clear. Retrograding planets are designed for looking inside for conditions or issues that need our full attention…something that needs healing or integrating. It is NOT necessarily a great time to change things in the outer landscape. The time for action is usually AFTER the retrograde is over, not DURING it. As I mentioned in the previous blog, when we alter our direction under a retrograde planet cycle we may just get a rude surprise down the road.
Why is this so important right now? Because of Saturn at the 29th degree of Scorpio. Yes, Saturn is a factor because it is calling to us and saying "Have you completed the necessary lessons ?", and "...are you sure this is your decision?" I covered the implications of the Cosmic Hammer in the previous blog (read here) and it is unequivocal. I have seen close up the power of Saturn at the 29th degree, and have a healthy respect for how this overrides our notions of how we try to manipulate our realities. Uranus can have a similar, but more shocking effect. In this scenario Saturn is a relentless karmic taskmaster, and at the last degree of Scorpio is demanding the ultimate in detoxification of our held emotions and traumas. Remember, Scorpio's co-ruler is Pluto, so with Saturn in mutual reception to Pluto this is a double-strength shamanic medicine show we're dealing with. Since Venus will be going direct at 14 degrees of Leo, and Pluto is currently at 13 degrees plus of Capricorn, they are said to be "inconjunct". When two planets are in such an aspect with one another, it creates tension. It is a different tension to an opposition, conjunction or square, but it is not in an overt way, but as in feeling like there is an impasse or inability to resolve the tension that is presented. And, it could take a massive amount of energy and focus to resolve said tension. So, this why there may not be an immediate sigh of relief until Venus has begun to move forward and away from the inconjunct to Pluto. Early to mid-October will be feeling a lot different. With Mars trining Uranus right now, you may also be getting ahead of yourself...i.e., feeling a bit too frenetic and clumsy. Slow down...and recognize if you're pushing too much. Being aware is to be prepared.
Sorry…it's not all doom or gloom. The bright spot is that we will be entering the territory of Libra shortly after Saturn leaves Scorpio, and the mood will lighten up and shift after the Autumnal Equinox on September 23rd, just ahead of Pluto moving direct and the big Lunar Eclipse on the 28th . Next week will be a bit bumpy with Moon in Cancer, and then there's the upcoming Partial Solar Eclipse on the 13th of September at 20 Virgo as well, and there will be an important meeting between the North Node in Libra and Black Moon Lilith too. I'll feature that in next week's report.
So, stay the course, and above all, do not give up hope or your vision. Enjoy the Bonny Tyler video below, and see you next week!!
NOTE: If any of you are still experiencing anomalies with your computing or communications equipment, or are having strange physical, emotional or mental hiccups, please email me with the details, or post as comments below. I'm still collecting data as to the fluctuating state of our planetary and solar magnetic fields. The Sun was storming last week, and may have contributed to some of you feeling a bit unsteady.

Coup, Counter-coup, Consequences – Part 1: The Remarkable Rise of Recip Erdogan
Against the backdrop of the coup in Turkey, this blog looks at the impressive ascendency of the Turkish President. It is the first in a four-part series.
Turkish President Recip Erdogan has had nothing less than a scintillating political career. From very humble beginnings, this erstwhile semi-professional football player was Mayor of Istanbul (a city of some fifteen million people) from 1994 to 1998, then Prime Minister of Turkey (a country of almost eighty million) for more than a decade as of 2003 before assuming the presidency in 2014. Since then, he and his Justice and Development Party (AKP) have triumphed in no less than three national contests, in all but one of them obtaining a majority of seats in the Turkish Grand National Assembly.
Erdogan's rise to the top jobs in Turkey's political hierarchy was initially characterized by great promise. Under his stewardship, Turkey finally seemed on the way to realizing its role as the Muslim world's leading democracy. Five elements were at play here.
First, Erdogan presided over an impressive expansion of the Turkish economy. In the decade after 2002, Turkey registered a huge fall in poverty, a vast improvement in the basic services available to the population, and an impressive rate of job creation. Within a decade, Turkey's economy expanded by a factor of three, making it the world's 17th largest in 2014.
Second, Erdogan championed an opening to the country's Kurds, a community comprising up to 30 per cent of the country's population, whose politico-military organization, the PKK (Kurdistan Workers' Party), had been embroiled in a guerilla war with Ankara since the mid-1980s, costing tens of thousands of lives. Under Erdogan, minor but still significant improvements were made to the Kurds' language and cultural rights.
After a cease-fire was agreed in 2013, a Kurdish party by the name of the People' s Democratic Party (PDP) was allowed to participate in the electoral process after more than two decades of serial bans of similar entities by Ankara.
The PDP emphasized the need for greater rights for Kurds within Turkey but also reached out to the country as a whole with a modernist socio-cultural agenda. In the process, it managed to establish beachheads amongst elements of the Kurdish community that had hitherto tended to vote for the AKP. In 2014, the PDP won more than 10 percent of the votes, thus giving the Kurdish community their first ever representation in the Turkish Grand Assembly.
Third, the Erdogan government sought to pursue a policy of peace and cooperation with the other states of the region. So, Ankara reached out to Israel. Turkey made overtures to Armenia that held the potential to overcome their bilateral disagreements over the events of 1915, when hundreds of thousands of Armenians perished as a result of the conflict between the Russian and Ottoman Empires. Turkey also worked to keep on even keel relations with its historical rival Iran and most crucially with Russia, a key trading partner and the main source of Turkey's thriving tourist trade.
The fourth pillar of Erdogan's approach was to pursue Turkey's longstanding efforts – initiated in 1963 – to become a member of the EU. In 2002, Turkey abolished the death penalty, thus removing a key obstacle to EU accession. At the same time, it worked to maintain Turkey's standing as a key member of NATO.
Finally, and most importantly, Erdogan made overtures to the many conservatively-inclined Turks who had moved to central and western Turkey in search of a better life for themselves and their families during the Turkish economic boom. In particular, Erdogan defended the notion that religion had a legitimate place in public life. This was at odds with the approach that had dominated since Ataturk's founding of modern Turkey in 1923, which saw Turkey with its 99 percent Muslim population as a strictly secular state. Since 1960, the Turkish military has come out of its barracks no less than five times to defend this concept of society.
David Law is a Senior Associate of the Security Governance Group and a Senior Fellow of its sister organization, the Centre for Security Governance. He is a former Head of NATO's Policy Planning and Speechwriting Unit. In this capacity, he also followed Greek-Turkish relations for the Secretary General.

In an effort to protect both the poor and the financially unsavvy from predatory lending practices, Austin's City Council met on Thursday to regulate and impose restrictions on how payday lenders can operate. Ellen Arnold of Arnold Public Affairs worked on this issue during the most recent legislative session to bring this problem to light and to regulate the practice statewide.
Payday and car title loan brokers typically market short-term, high-interest loans to clients who generally are unable to obtain credit elsewhere. The cash advances, which generally range from $100 to $1,000, are usually due in full, along with interest and fees, within two weeks of borrowing. If the client is unable to repay their debt in full and on time, they may extend their advance by paying additional fees. Fees added in the process often exceed the principal amount borrowed, creating a "cycle of debt" that is difficult to escape.
A car title loan operates in the same fashion; however, failure to pay in the allotted time period allows lenders to take possession of a client's car.
Under the new regulations, which were proposed by Council member Bill Spelman, will require payday lenders to register with the city, cap the maximum cash advance amount—not to exceed more than 20% of the client's gross monthly income, and restrict clients from refinancing a loan more than two times. Spelman will utilize the city's zoning authority to monitor and restrict the number of payday lenders in an area. These establishments cannot be located within 1,000 feet of a lot containing another such lender, 200 feet from a residential lot or 500 feet from the rights of way on major roadways. Car title loan brokers must also cap their cash advances. Clients will not be able to borrow more than 3 percent of their gross annual income or 70 percent of the retail value of their vehicle, whichever is less.
While the proposed regulations does not address every concern with the short-term loan industry and does not solve the "cycle of debt" that is experienced by many clients, this is a step in the right direction to ensure financial regulation and stability.
Listen to KUT's piece on the Austin City Council's proposal.
Thank you Arnold Public Affairs for bringing this national disgrace to greater public awareness. Preying on the weakest members of society is not something a great country should condone. It is just financial bullying plain and simple. Then we all pay the cost as families are pushed onto the streets because of their inability to pay usurious interest rates.


Really big events. How do they do it?
Staging amazing events at local venues dates back to at least the 1960s, when the now (almost) world-famous Family Fair was launched on Larchmont Blvd.
The Grove and Paramount Pictures play host to a number of equally remarkable achievements. For example, a tribute to first responders and fallen police officers, "Run to Remember," is set for Sun., Jan. 24. The half-marathon and 10K will take participants from The Grove to a red carpet welcome at the Melrose Ave. studio.
The Grove also recently hosted the finale of "Dancing With the Stars."While much of the ABC TV show was produced at CBS studios next door, several performances took place on an outside stage at The Grove.
As thousands watched from The Grove grounds, behind the scenes the show's host, Tom Bergeron, the celebrity finalists and the pro dancers were shuttled back and forth from CBS to the Grove in golf carts.
When Jane Burrell joined the Los Angeles County Museum of Art 38 years ago, a handful of family and school programs was offered, along with a few art programs and docent-led tours.
Today, the senior vice president of education and public programs oversees some 370 programs a year and a 30-member staff.
Experts in jazz and classical music, art and film curators and even wine aficionados bring the $2.4 million department to life with talks, tours and concerts. "I make sure all of this comes together. The schedules, budgets, announcements…" said Burrell.
Some programs are so successful they move to larger grounds, such as an annual KCRW pie-baking contest now held at UCLA.
Retail giant Target offers three free holiday programs a year. Next up is Martin Luther King Jr. Day, Mon., Jan. 18.
"It's a busy day" with more than 10,000 children and adults expected on the museum campus and a Dixieland swing and blues band and dancers on the bill.
Being a holiday, there's ample parking in museum lots and on the street, says Burrell.
In the summer, picnickers gather on the lawn to hear the salsa beat during Latin Sounds concerts. Pianists and chamber groups play year round inside the Bing Theater, and a popular Friday night outdoor jazz fest starts up in the spring.
Curator-led tours, "Senses of Time," visit the video and film-based works of Africa Sun., Jan. 17. Museum director Michael Govan will sit down with architect Frank Gehry for the Director's Series Feb. 11.
Art and Music concerts pick up again in March with multimedia guitarist Kaki King. "There's a lot going on. They're all wonderful programs," says Burrell.
It's getting bigger ever year. More than 10,000 came to the Larchmont Family Fair last fall for a kid's costume contest, Larchmont talent show, rides and small-town fun.
Setting up 90 booths, animals and more for the daylong event in the heart of a bustling metropolis is a small miracle.
"It's like a military operation. It's amazing," said Fair co-chairman and local dentist Tim Gogan.
Beginning at 6 a.m., a 10-person crew begin setting up the booths for 38 charity groups, food vendors and ticket booths.
Soon the camels, goats and other pets arrive, and giant bounces, electric mini-cars and more are on the street, which has been blocked off between Beverly Blvd. and First St.
The fair had a modest start back in the 1960s when it was held on a Friday night during Labor Day weekend.
Dawne Goodwin, the late publisher of the Larchmont Chronicle, came up with the idea of the Fair as a way for charity groups to raise money all at one place.
One year, a local plumber in charge of getting the permit, forgot, so the event was delayed to the last Sunday in October.
The date stuck. It made sense for the children's costume contest, but mostly because "the street closed down completely on Sunday," said Gogan.
There were only two restaurants back then, and one was a coffee shop in the Larchmont Medical Building.
Gogan's family had raised Shetland ponies, so in the early years, he arranged the pony rides and a petting zoo.
Initially two groups sponsored the event, the Larchmont Boulevard Association, which still oversees the Fair today, and the Larchmont Service Club.
"It gets bigger every year. The kids are so excited. They love it," said Gogan.

Living in Southern California would be a dream come true for many people around the world. Usually, the reasons vary from great, sunny weather to a melting pot of different cultures that all bring their distinct influence into the mix. But those are not the only reasons why Southern California has excellent cities to live in. Whatever it is you're looking for, So Cal's got something for you.
With a population of 139,491 people, Fullerton is frequently on the top lists of best Orange County cities to live in. It owes its good standing mostly to a lower median housing value than an average Orange County city, but it also has plenty of benefits for families looking to settle in comfortably. Fullerton is picturesque, has excellent public schools, a bunch of beautiful parks, bookshops, and libraries. It's very inviting, and the warm, quaint atmosphere is unique.
Moorpark is not a big place, with a population of 35 thousand people. However, it keeps on growing, owing to how family-friendly and safe it is. It's a Ventura County town, with Oxnard as the closest major city. Moorpark has the lowest crime rate out of all the cities in Ventura County, and it has a good ranking among towns nation-wide as well. There's plenty to do for families, including various festivals and outdoor activities, so it's no surprise that households with children under 18 make up 41.6% of its population. Moorpark boasts some fantastic schools too, with a wide selection of extracurricular activities.
For those of you who love the great outdoors, Poway could be a great option. There's plenty to do outside in Poway, including exploring beaches and hiking in the Cleveland National Forest. One of the most attractive selling points of Poway is that the commute time is only a little over 20 minutes — everything is easily accessible, and traffic is light. The housing prices might be a bit higher than average, but Poway's estimated 50 thousand inhabitants would tell you it's worth it.
Irvine is one of the So Cal cities that are especially attractive to young families. It is due to a combination of factors — wide availability of higher education institutions and excellent public schools, along with a medium income rate of $92,663 and a much lower unemployment rate than the nation-wide average value. As with other cities on this top list, Irvine offers terrific outdoor life and plenty of parks to spend family time in.
While relocation is rarely an easy decision, you won't go wrong with any of the cities on this list. Southern California is a great place to live, and a reputable professional agent makes the process of moving and buying a new home so much easier.

How fear can spread like a virus
netleak
familiar sensations were: my rapid pulse, put on my chest, my attention narrowing. These were the feelings that I had many times in my life when most exposed heights, a ladder or walk down a steep path. I heard during the long moments, lying on a serious car accident, rolling on the road and hail in a ditch on a mountain, and I again heard months later, when I'm driving on the ice sidewalk or around a tight turn. I had heard in the late evening moments of uncertainty, wakes up at home along a dark road with a car in the vicinity of inactivity, or alone in my apartment, ask if the strange noise he had heard me, it was a dream or reality. However, this time was not doing all these things. I was standing in the hallway canned goods in the grocery store, staring at the shelves almost empty. In Yukon, a region in northern Canada that still had to take his first known case of COVID-19 is just a left poultry stock cardboard. I was trying to tell me that the situation was funny, trying to avoid eye contact with other buyers, like this I grabbed a box. I could feel our collective malaise. So often we are afraid in relation to describe the disease is called spreading fear like a virus running through a crowd; There is talk of infected by fear. It might be a cliché, but it turns out, studies suggest that it is true: really contagious fear. We've long known that animals "smell" each other, but to fear in the popular imagination, we tend to think of predators, sniffing the fear of their prey. This is a misunderstanding of the phenomenon. What really happened that prey on silent, invisible inadvertently issue "alarm pheromones." These are the chemical signals Air companions should warn over dangers nearby. Until recently it was not clear whether this was an opportunity that was limited to the wild world, an instinct that people had lost in the march away from nature. The studies were made on the basis of observed behavior that suggested humans emit pheromones and sensor alarm may be able. But it was more than a team of scientists found clear evidence physiological something a decade ago, the phenomenon is available. "We kind of decided to do the first rigorous test whether human pheromones exist alarm," Lilianne Mujica-Parodi, the principal investigator of the study in 2009, he said. Your team used an unorthodox experimental technique: they sent parachuting people. collected Mujica-Parodi and colleagues sweat samples of 144 people who were to experience a tandem jump for the first time. He then uses the same 144 people as their own controls, collect their sweat after running on a treadmill. Later, they put two sets of welding samples on a new set of test subjects to see fMRI brain scans and converts the pheromones in real time. The "fear sweat" the activity generated in the brain structure of amygdalas-small subjects to be critical in the supply, is known and to manage our response to fear. The exercise of sweat. In a second phase of the experiment already amygdala reactivity has been demonstrated in response to cold sweat, the team investigate the behavioral component of the amygdala response. They put the subjects or sweat or the exercise of sweat, while showing a series of human faces images to convey a spectrum of expressions ranging from vacuum too angry. When you asked to evaluate each image or threaten appear neutral or inhalation exercise assessed threat, subject only angry faces as potential threats. But if inhaled sweat fear, were included as dangerously close significantly more likely all the range that fear, sweating increased vigilance in subjects primed to vote. He each other really scared "smell", suggests their research. And chemical alarm system can prepare our brain to respond to incoming threats. This may explain why we sometimes see, we go into a room and suddenly heard a warning-this sense of a climate still clearly threatening or unexplained mood. It could also help make sense of palpable tension in the air to explain these days when someone coughs near or when we realize that the nave toilet paper is eerily empty. I thought a lot in recent days Mujica-Parodi research, when I canceled due to necessary care plans and look forward scroll purchased through new endless stories and social media messages about the spread of the virus. This may sound strange, but think about it comforts me. Ours are an important reminder alarm pheromones: the fear is built into us for a reason, and it is O. K. hear. It is a survival mechanism, and should not only help you survive as individuals, but they survive our communities for help. It 's simple, the idea of the fear of contagious infectious diseases fear of being seen as negative. We spend so much time as a culture of ignoring talk of oppression, to defeat, to overcome and heal our fears. But our fear is a finely calibrated alarm system, such as a smoke detector as a disease. In this full-time, it makes sense to hear the siren. Do not panic, but to hear the official medical consultation and preparation

Legislation news & FAQ
What do Belarusian IT companies need to know about relocation to Ukraine?
Having set a course to create a favorable economic environment for IT companies, Ukraine has provided an opportunity to actively develop not only Ukrainian IT companies, but also foreign businesses coming to Ukraine.
Due to the situation in the world and favorable conditions for IT companies in Ukraine, in the last year we received numerous requests for assistance in relocating businesses from Belarus, including IT, to Ukraine. The key reasons for business relocation are low tax rates for this type of business activity, as well as special attitude of the migration legislation to IT specialists.
Today we will tell you whether it is possible and whether it is profitable to relocate your company to Ukraine.
If you want to get answers about your specific situation, please contact our experts for a personal consultation.

Relocating your IT company to Ukraine: Where to start?
Let's consider the most frequent and most convenient option of company relocation to Ukraine — through the establishment of a Ukrainian company.
Of course, there are other options — the relocation method will depend on your situation and plans.
If we are talking about starting an IT-company in Ukraine with foreign employees, the algorithm of actions will be as follows:
Stage 1. Registration of IT-company in Ukraine.
Registration of a company can be completed in just a few days. The registration of an LLC requires the personal presence of the founding members, or their representatives.
During the registration procedure, it is worth paying special attention to the Articles of Association, which may prescribe the structure of the company, the powers of the director and much more.
Please note! If you also want a foreign employee to be the director of the company, this will have to be done in three stages:
Registration of a company with a Ukrainian director (this can be a nominee director, we offer this service);
Obtaining a Work Permit for a foreign director;
Replacing a Ukrainian director with a foreign employee.
The thing is that when registering a company, one has to indicate its director, and a foreigner can take this position only after obtaining a Work Permit, which in turn is possible only after the registration of the LLC is completed.
Stage 2. Obtaining a Work Permit for employees, including the top management of the company.
Upon completion of the LLC registration procedure, we may submit an application for a Work Permit for the employees and director. Such a request must be submitted on behalf of the employer, and the Permit is issued for a specific person and for a specific position.
The peculiarities of employment of foreign IT specialists is that they can apply for a Temporary Residence Permit for 3 years (a maximum established period), with the possibility of extension. In addition, no minimum wage is set for this category of employees.
A Work Permit can be obtained within 5-7 business days provided that the procedure is properly arranged. We can get Permits for a large number of employees at once.
Stage 3. Employment of all foreigners.
Each employee must obtain a Tax Identification Number (TIN) — a personal tax identification number. The employment agreement must specify this personal tax identification number.
The employment agreement must be signed within 90 days from the moment of obtaining the TIN for the employee. Within the following 10 days a certified copy of the agreement must be submitted to the Employment Center. If you fail to submit it in due time, the Work Permit will be revoked.
Of course, you will also need to arrange the workplace — to find an office, to develop the mode of work, to organize the necessary work resources. All this requires a lot of attention and energy. In such a situation, a professional team of lawyers, handling all the legal formalities for registering a business and employing workers, will stand in good stead.

How can IT specialists stay in Ukraine all the time?
Registering a company in Ukraine and employment of foreigners is only part of the relocation process. If you are ready to move to Ukraine with your project, you will have to think about the issue of legalizing the stay of IT-specialists in the country.
In our practice, there were cases when the employer was only responsible for Work Permits and employment. But often in the process of relocation, the employer also takes care of obtaining a Temporary Residence Permit, Permanent Residence Permit, or other permits allowing its employees to stay in the country. They pay the cost of obtaining the necessary documents themselves, or divide the payment into agreed parts with the employee.
Please note! Employment of a foreigner and getting a Work Permit for such an employee does not mean that now the employee can safely stay in Ukraine without going abroad. Without having a Temporary Residence Permit or a Permanent Residence Permit, an employee will have to leave after the expiry of the period allowed to stay in Ukraine (usually 90 days).
However, it's worth noting that a Work Permit is the basis for obtaining a Temporary Residence Permit in Ukraine, and the IT profession enables a foreigner to get Permanent Residence Permit in Ukraine within the quota for IT specialists. What is better to choose?
Temporary Residence Permit for an IT-specialist in Ukraine.
Obtaining a residence permit on the basis of the Work Permit is a standard procedure, and the most logical choice.
Faster legalization procedure — all the preparatory work can be done by our lawyers, and the procedure of obtaining a Temporary Residence Permit can be completed in just 1 month from the date of receipt of the Work Permit;
Easier legalization procedure in Ukraine — obtaining a Temporary Residence Permit requires fewer documents. The list can be seen here.
The Temporary Residence Permit is tied to the place of work. When you change your place of work, you lose the basis used to obtain a Temporary Residence Permit — you need to re-apply for a Work Permit and a Temporary Residence Permit;
A shorter validity period. The maximum validity period of a Temporary Residence Permit on the basis of employment is 3 years, with the possibility of extension.
We wrote in detail about the procedure for obtaining a Temporary Residence Permit in Ukraine for residents of Belarus here.
Permanent Residence Permit for an IT-specialist in Ukraine.
Usually, when employing a foreigner, it is seldom possible to get a Permanent Residence Permit at once. This requires a good reason. But at present, Ukraine is on the way to the development of IT-industry and creates a favorable environment for IT-companies in the country. It offers not only tax optimization, but also allocates IT-specialists in a separate category of workers who can obtain a Permanent Residence Permit in Ukraine within a quota.
Getting a Permanent Residence Permit within a quota means that every year a certain number of IT-specialists may obtain a Permanent Residence Permit in the country. In 2021, Ukrainian companies are allowed to employ 5,706 highly qualified foreign professionals within the quota.
This permit is issued for a long time — for 1o years;
This permit gives the right to get employed in Ukraine without a Work Permit;
All travelling visas can be obtained in Ukraine.
An IT-specialist must meet certain requirements, otherwise they will not get a Permanent Residence Permit. See these requirements here;
Quotas means a finite number of permits that the state can give — you can miss the quota for the year;
The long procedure — in contrast to the Temporary Residence Permit, the procedure for obtaining a Permanent Residence Permit will take 1 year from the date of filing. During the waiting period, at the end of the authorized period of stay, you will have to go abroad.
The employee legalization procedure will depend on your plans and the employee's personal choice. We will analyze the overall situation and suggest the best option for both sides.

Consultation on the possibility of relocation of employees and the whole business to Ukraine;

California, long-known for its environmental leadership, also boasts the world's sixth largest economy. For Southern California, with our large, diverse population, the leadership challenge we face is how to create more good-paying, middle class jobs while improving our quality of life – cleaner air and water, reduced road congestion and increased affordable housing.
Nowhere is this balancing act better illustrated than at the South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD) – the regional air board responsible for managing air emissions from stationary sources in four counties – Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino.
For the past four years, SCAQMD Board and staff have engaged with stakeholders to develop the latest iteration of the region's Air Quality Management Plan (AQMP). SCAQMD staff held hundreds of meeting and forums, generated thousands of pages of documents and produced a final draft Plan that is balanced and strong. In fact, SCAQMD staff indicated at the February meeting where the Plan was discussed that this AQMP will set us on course to achieve federal clean air standards (something that the district has struggled with in the past) and does so at a pace that is equal to or faster than prior AQMPs. This AQMP will achieve these standards in a way that also allows for continued economic growth.
Unfortunately, at that same February SCAQMD Board meeting, several Board members dropped last-minute amendments that would create whole new areas of regulation and, if added to the Plan, would throw its all-important balance out of whack.
What's problematic about these proposed amendments is that, unlike the rest of the plan, they are neither scientifically nor economically analyzed and therefore their true environmental benefits and economic impacts are yet unknown. As a result, these amendments could potentially wreak economic harm on vast sectors of job producing industries with little corresponding benefit in cleaner air.
One of these amendments seeks to adopt an Indirect Source Rule (ISR) which particularly targets the goods movement sector – ports, airports, truckers, distribution centers and more. Goods movement is the one of the largest sector in the Southern California economy, producing more than 14% of the region's GDP and employing over 1.4 million people ranging from longshoremen and shippers at the ports to warehouse workers and railroad operators in the Inland Empire. Perhaps more importantly, it is the source of many of our region's best paying blue collar jobs… jobs that have become more important as other blue collar sectors in our region have declined.
Knowing this makes it easier to understand why many of those who track the region's economy are concerned when an eleventh hour ISR amendment is introduced with no information as to the mechanics of how it would work. The risks of adopting such a potentially job killing amendment without analysis just doesn't seem to make sense, especially given that the proposed AQMP will already achieve identified clean air goals for the region.
The ISR amendment is just one of several last minute unanalyzed proposals that could collectively, if adopted, create significant imbalance and unintended consequences in the region.
Instead, the better course of action is for the SCAQMD Board to adopt the proposed AQMP on March 3rd without amendment. This approach would honor the robust four-year stakeholder process and maintain the all-important balance of jobs and the environment which is carefully crafted into the Plan.
Richard Lambros is the executive director of the Southern California Leadership Council, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization formed to provide leadership on major public policies critical to economic vitality, job growth and the quality of life in Southern California led by three former Governors – Gray Davis, Pete Wilson and George Deukmejian – and over two dozen President/CEOs of major companies and agencies.

Q: Firefox addon to display all shortucts Is there a firefox addon that would display all shortcuts on a web page and also browser shortcuts.
for eg: c is the keyboard shortcut for gmail compose. So either on a particular key combination or by hovering over the compose button it should show a "c" to indicate there is a shortcut for this operation.
I guess If we keep on seeing the shortcuts popping each time when we do an action then we can start using and remembering more and more of it.
Thanks.
P.S:
If this is not the forum to ask this question please suggest appropriately in comments.

A: The keyconfig extension from http://forums.mozillazine.org/viewtopic.php?t=72994 allows you to see (and modify) the keyboard shortcuts defined in Firefox. I haven't heard of a similar addon for shortcuts defined in web pages.

A: There is not, the problem is that the shortcuts are hard coded, and any extension or application wanting to know them all, would have to read the source code and find them keyboard hooks, for web apps it could be done since the source code is visible, but it would be extremenly hard because javascript code sometime is ofuscated. Thou i agree with you, that would be a really good way to learn them, now for my possible answer:
For gmail you can ask in the gmail development google group, for the labs extensions, make a request, some dev might be interested, or of course you can code it your self using gmail's API.
Edit to include the url: http://groups.google.com/group/gmail-labs?pli=1

A: Or you could try pressing ?
Most sites with keyboard shortcuts also show a popup with those listed when a user presses the "Help" ? key (It's SHIFT + /, on my keyboard :P )
Guillermo is absolutely correct.
