A company must file accounts within nine months of the end of its accounting period, or within 21 months of incorporation. Accounts, prepared according to international accounting standards, summarise the performance and position of the company at the accounting date.
Small companies, i.e. with a turnover of up to £6.5 million and balance sheet up to £3.26 million, may file abbreviated accounts, which do not include a detailed profit and loss account. Furthermore, most small companies do not require a statutory audit. Regardless of its size, the directors must deliver a full set of accounts including income and expenditure to HMRC.
Although private companies must keep accounting records for up to 3 years after the end of its accounting period for Companies House, the HMRC requirement is to keep records for up to six years.
The first accounting period is on the anniversary of the end of the month following incorporation. Following periods are twelve monthly thereafter.
It is possible to change the length of the accounting period before the filing deadline. A company may shorten an accounting date as often as it likes. However accounting dates may only be extended up to eighteen months and then only once every five years, except in certain circumstances. If the duration of an accounting period has been changed, the deadline of 9 months after the end of the period will shorten or lengthen accordingly.
Where a company has not been trading, it can be beneficial to change the accounting period to the end of the dormant period, so that simpler dormant company accounts can be filed.
A company still has to file accounts even if it has not traded in the period. However it is permitted to file dormant company accounts, which are considerably simpler. A dormant company is not required to be audited. The filing deadline for dormant company accounts are the same, i.e. 9 months after the end of the accounting period.
The amount of penalties depends on the length of time after the filing deadline that the accounts are submitted. Where the accounts are more than a day late, a penalty of £150 is levied, this increases to £375 once over a month late, £750 once over three months late and £1,500 once six months late or more.
There is no legal requirement to use an accountant to prepare accounts. However, a qualified and experienced firm can help to make sure your company is complying with regulations and can save time as a result.
At Coman & Co, we have extensive experience preparing accounts for private companies. Supported by the latest software, we can prepare accounts fully compliant with Companies House requirements. Please contact us for an initial consultation.

A mindful place to scroll and consume content
Shorter Stories is a platform for writers to showcase their work and ideas. Made up of quick reads (under 3,000 words) it highlights the talents of emerging and amateur writers, while giving people a more mindful place to scroll and consume content. More suited to our shorter attention spans.
It's a realistic target for writers, and a home for all the great stories that could be lost forever in editors' inboxes or hidden away in Microsoft word.
Finally, a place for writers' work to be read…
There are a lot of really talented writers out there, who have no place to put their work. Unless it's published, it's only shown to your mates, or maybe your mother. Comedians, filmmakers and musicians have a more tangible way of showcasing their work via social media, but it's not like that for writer's. That's why we've created Shorter Stories.
It's a place for all those lost stories to live, and a place to inspire all part-time, aspiring, or casual writer's to finish that story, or finally sit down to write that idea - knowing it has a place to live, and be seen.
So write that story, whether it's a proof of concept for something longer, or a story you've always wanted to tell - you never know who'll take 5 minutes to read it...
Submit short story
Shorter Stories was created by us - Eoin Lynam & Sam Moorhead. We're best mates and old school pals, who are both decent writers in our own right. We were frustrated with the lack of opportunities for amateur or aspiring writers, having never found a good way to showcase our own work.
That's why we created Shorter Stories...

"Art Visions: Dynamic and Fanciful" — a joint exhibition by new Portola Art Gallery members Terry McMahon and Inna Cherneykina — is featured the month of January. The exhibition of oil and acrylic paintings includes vibrant and colorful still life, landscape and city scenes from the artists' collections.
Terry McMahon, a retired art teacher from the Menlo Park school district, has traveled and lived around the world. Her art work is influenced by her collection and love of folk art from the places she has visited and lived. She combines a strong sense of design with a bold use of color, and she gravitates toward sculptural shapes and forms. She enjoys rearranging or redefining forms, whether in architecture, plants, animals, or people. Most of her work is imaginative, while some is decorative and even fanciful.
Inna Cherneykina is a painter and 3D game artist. Art for her is an exploration of the intricate interplay between the world and human mind in its most beautiful form. The still life compositions and landscapes she paints are reflections of this enigmatic entanglement of mind and reality. They fuse together the real world, her vision of the world, and her emotions brought to life by beautiful flowers or by gorgeous sunsets.
A reception for the artists will be held on Saturday, January 23, from 1:00 to 4:00 pm. The Gallery is located at the Allied Arts Guild, 75 Arbor Rd., in Menlo Park.


Introduction: A key idea in today's Sunday School material is that believers are richly blessed because of their relationship with Christ. Prayerfully, we will be challenged to live like those who are richly blessed because of our relationship with Christ.
I. The Father Adopts Us. In our Sunday School material praise of God is urged. God has given believers every spiritual blessing in Christ. Believers were predestined to be blameless in God's sight. Believers are predestined to be adopted into sonship through Christ.
- Blessings for those in Christ. Notice in vss. 3-5 of our Sunday School material that believers are blessed with every spiritual blessing through Christ. Included in this idea are things like having a blameless status, being predestined, and being adopted sons of God.
First, we have blameless status because of Jesus death for us. We are not blameless in regard to our actual living, but declared blameless (i.e., justified). Now, we should strive to live up to our status. That is, we should strive to actually live right.
Second, the doctrine of predestination is concerned with God's predetermining who will and will not be saved. No human can explain this thoroughly. What we do know is that God can be trusted to do what is right.
Our task is to live as if we appreciate being predestined to be saved. And we should try to help others get saved, since we don't know who is predetermined or not.
Third, to have adopted sonship is a marvelous privilege. As sons of God, we can expect great privileges (esp. when compared to slaves or others) and inheritance. The Sunday School commentator understandably talks about sons and daughters of God.
However, the sisters should have a greater appreciation of sonship than gender issues in this case. The daughters were not as privileged as sons, in the context of this text.
Let's strive to live like we appreciate all that has been given to us through Christ. Such living should include obeying God's commands to love Him and others as we love ourselves.
- Redeemed and forgiven. Notice in vs. 7 that believers have redemption and forgiveness through the blood of Jesus. To be redeemed is to be brought or purchased back. Think of a slave whose freedom has been purchased.
To be forgiven is to have one's debt's released. Think about stamping a bill as paid. It is absolutely marvelous to know that we are redeemed and forgiven, in spite of what people say, how we feel, and what we do. Let's live as if we are appreciative of being redeemed and forgiven.
It is worth noting this forgiveness is concerned with our going to Hell as penalty for our sins. It is not concerned with punishment for our other sins. In other words, a saved person who commits a crime will have to bear the consequences of that crime and then go to Heaven.
This is because the sins that impact one's going to Heaven were forgiven. The sins of one's crime have yet to be paid for. So don't just go do whatever you feel like doing, thinking that the "blood of Jesus" has paid it all.
The blood pays for our ticket to Heaven, but it doesn't pay for a free pass on Earth to do what we want to do without consequences.
- Unity in Christ. Notice in vs. 10 of the Sunday School material that we see the demystified unity in Christ. Before Christ, humanity did not see or understand God's plan to unite Jews, Gentiles, and others. But after Christ, we see that whosoever believeth in Christ shall be saved.
God revealed what was previously covered. There is so much to God that we don't understand. Instead of trying to understand what has not been revealed yet, we should busy ourselves with obeying His revealed will.
His revealed will includes basic things like being godly spouses, singles, parents, children, employers, employees, and so on. Let's be so thankful that God's revealed will includes us that we strive to obey His will.
- God's working things out. Notice in vs. 11 that God works things out to conform with His will. This is marvelous news. No matter how terrible and chaotic things look in our lives, we can count on God using such situations for the good of His people.
Let's live like we trust that God is working things out for the good of His people. Such living includes demonstrating joy, in spite of terrible circumstances. It is a joy that anticipates God's plan, not a joy focused on being in the negative situation.
- Praise. Notice in vs. 12 of our Sunday School material that believers are designed for the praise of God's glory. Included in this idea is the duty to praise God. "Yes," our lives should be lived in such a way that God always gets the praise and glory for what He is doing in and through our lives.
But we should also praise Him with enthusiasm. It is embarrassing and sinful to be as blessed as we are and as quiet as some of us are. Let's praise God like praise is a foundational part of our purpose.
III. The Spirit Seals Us. In our Sunday School material Paul assures his readers that they were included in God's plan, when they heard (i.e., and by extension believed) the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Believers are said be marked and sealed with the promise of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is a deposit guarantee in the lives of believers.
- Precious. Notice in vss. 13-14 that believers are marked, sealed, and contain the security deposit of the Holy Spirit. No matter what people say about us, no matter how we feel about ourselves, God sees every believer as very precious.
Our being sealed with the Holy Spirit includes the idea of being authenticated by our great King and God. Our having the security deposit of the Holy Spirit reassures us in the darkest hours that God will not abandon us. God will stay with us, if for no other reason than the fact that He has invested too much in us.
The Holy Spirit is on hold, until the Lord's return and completion of His work in us. Let's live like the precious people that the Bible teaches that we are.
Our value is not determined by our portfolios, popularity, nor status in the community. We are precious in the sight of our God because He has predetermined it to be so.
Conclusion: Let's work on living like those who are richly blessed because of our relationship with Christ. God has much for those who obey His will.

Xploding Boxes now with 200 levels
July 26, 2011 Eric at Ebscer
Xploding Boxes has been updated in BlackBerry AppWorld to version 1.6 and now includes 200 levels, as well as support for all of the upcoming BlackBerry 7 devices.
Xploding Boxes (also known as Exploding Boxes) is a strategy game for BlackBerry where the goal of the game is to start a chain reaction that will explode all of the boxes on the screen. Each level gives you a different number of touches, and requires a different strategy to solve. The first 25 levels are free, while the full 200 levels can be accessed by making an in-application payment and requiring no further downloads.
New in Version 1.6
Version 1.6 brings the total number of levels in Xploding Boxes up to 200, which is twice as many as the original version 1.0 of the application had. This update also allows the game to support all of the new BlackBerry 7 devices that will be released over the next few months including the 9900, 9930, 9810, 9850, 9860, 9350, and 9360.

BBM SDK is bigger news then OS 7
July 22, 2011 Eric at Ebscer 2 Comments
For BlackBerry developers (and therefore users) the release of the BBM SDK is a much bigger deal then OS7. While the new operating system cleans up the homescreen, and includes new features based on additional hardware (such as NFC and AR) there is not much added in the new operating system for developers to add to existing apps (with the exception of location based apps).
So for developers looking to expand upon their existing app catalog, adding BBM integration is a far more attractive option. Additionally, using the BBM SDK doesn't require users to all buy new BlackBerrys, and instead can be integrated with apps on existing devices all the way back to OS5, which covers the vast majority of in market devices.
RIM is really pushing the BBM SDK with a series of webcasts, and a Hackathon, but even before these announcements were getting many developers to spend time adding these features to their apps. None of the new options that RIM has introduced in the past few years has resulted in as much developer excitement as this SDK already has.
Twinkle was one of the first apps to add Universal Search, and Hockey Scores was one of the first to add in-app payments, however there hasn't been as much interest in these options from other developers as there already is for the BBM SDK.

Multi-lingual BlackBerry users
The chart to the right shows the percentage of Pixelated users with each language set as the default. It is safe to assume that the fact that this data comes from an English-only application will result in some bias in these values. The chart below shows the percent of downloads for every language besides English.
Swipe down menus should also swipe back up
On the BlackBerry PlayBook, the top bezel is reserved for developers in order to create an app specific "swipe-down menu". While not enough apps make use of this, for those that do there does not yet appear to be any standard behavior on how to close these menus. I propose a simple solution, that the menu should swipe back up off the screen.
Most developers do tween the menu back off the top of the screen after a selection, or a touch outside of the menu area, but like you can swipe down to display the menu, you should also be able to swipe back up in order to hide it again. This is the approach that has been added to version 2.7 of Pixelated and version 1.1 of Black Out.
In order to implement this, when the menu is opened gesture swipe are listened for using the code: stage.addEventListener( TransformGestureEvent.GESTURE_SWIPE, onSwipe) and then if the TransformGestureEvent's offsetY == -1 (in the up direction), and the localY is less then the menu's height, a command is then sent to remove the menu from the screen. (Otherwise the swipe is ignored).
This gives a more consistent user interface, as swiping from the top bezel to the screen opens the menu, and swiping from the on screen menu to the top bezel hides it. The more developers that use this, the more customers will know to expect it, and the better their PlayBook experience will be.

Call-A-Human app updated to version 1.3
The Call-A-Human application has been updated to version 1.3 with updated listings, support for the new OS 7 devices, and integration with the native options panel. This app allows you to easily call straight to a customer service person at hundreds of companies without having to go through the hassle of going through a phone tree. The application includes a built in search field, and on BlackBerry devices running OS 6.0+ it also integrates with universal search so you can just start typing the company name without even having to open the application.

Monthly BlackBerry OS usage
Version 6.0 of the BlackBerry operating system saw a 3.36% increase in overall market share from May to June. Use of OS 5.0+ is now up to 86.8% of active BlackBerry users.
Adoption of OS 6.0 continues to be slower then adoption of OS 5.0 was due to the lack of an upgrade path for many popular phones such as the 85xx and 95xx series. As such adoption of OS 7.0 is more likely to follow the adoption curve of OS 6.0 because it is more likely to reflect adoption through new device sales rather then through upgrades to exciting devices.
As usual this data is taken from downloads of the popular BlackBerry strategy game Pixelated. Data starts from the release of version 2.0 in April of 2010, and goes through the end of last month.

Update to PlayBook game 'Black Out'
The game Black Out has been updated in BlackBerry AppWorld to version 1.2 this past weekend. This new version improves the navigation of the game's interface.
The goal to Black Out is to tap the tiles, so that they all get 'blacked out'. This is complicated because whenever you tap to flip a tile, it also flips all of the tiles surrounding it. As such it requires a well laid out strategy.
In order to accommodate different difficulties, the game supports board sizes from 3×3 all the way up to a 10×10 grid. Furthermore, there is also a hint button in case you find yourself in need of help.

Trick to providing better email support
July 8, 2011 Eric at Ebscer
By default when user needs support for their application their only way of contact is to use the "Contact Support" button in BlackBerry AppWorld. While this does work it has many short comings. There is only one email address listed for all of a vendor's apps, and unless the customer writes it out in detail there is no way of knowing even which app the user needs help with. Simple questions like "Does my device support this app?" can't be answered, because there is no way of knowing the user's device, or the app that they are interested in.
In order to get around this limitation, and provide better customer support Ebscer application user a built in email contact button that pre-populates the email's subject line with the name of the application, the version of the application, the device model, and the version of the operating system on the device. The button for this is placed onto the about page in all apps, and sometimes also as a menu option.
The code for handling the button press in the Twinkle app is as follows:
String s = "Support for Twinkle V2.2 on BB"+DeviceInfo.getDeviceName()+" running OS"+CodeModuleManager.getModuleVersion(CodeModuleManager.getModuleHandleForObject(""));
Invoke.invokeApplication(Invoke.APP_TYPE_MESSAGES,new MessageArguments(MessageArguments.ARG_NEW,"twinkle@ebscer.com",s,""));
If your customers contact you with this method instead (and in my experience most will), then you can skip the preliminaries and get straight to answering their questions. This make life easier for everyone, as you don't need to send extra emails back and forth just to get the basics.
The Problem with RIM's Open Letter Response
Late last week an open letter was posted by a senior RIM employee criticizing the company for not prioritizing the user experience, and including too much corporate red tape to get anything done. A day later RIM posted a short response that only seemed to confirm the criticism that was in the original letter.
The first letter is a complaint on how RIM is too slow to get their products out the door, and spends too much time waiting for things to be approved by upper level management, and the legal department. RIM's response had nothing to do with their products, and was a meandering discussion of their stock price that was clearly put together by upper level suits, and the company's legal team. When your response to a far to slow roll out of new devices is that you have $X "billion in cash and no debt" and are "pursuing newer strategic opportunities" there is only more reason to believe that management is in fact getting in the way of the engineers who are trying their best to get great new devices out. Given that you have so "much excitement and optimism" regarding your future products, maybe you should get around to releasing that Bold 9900 you announced a full two months ago. The phone looked ready when you demoed it then, so there is no reason that it shouldn't be on store shelves by now.
To make things worse, the next day a second anonymous letter came out criticizing amount of influence that AT&T has over the company. RIM's response to that was to announce that AT&T customers would be charged $20 per month if they used BlackBerry Bridge with their PlayBooks. It is almost as if RIM is trying to come off as clueless.
The good news is that these should not be hard problems to fix. Just get out of your own way and release a new device every now and then. There truly is plenty of reason to be optimistic about RIM's future product offerings. The question is why are they being forever being kept in a state of "coming soon"?

Taiwan: Elementary Students Express Gratitude for Falun Dafa's Principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance
Jan. 10, 2022 | ByMinghui correspondent Shen Rong
(Minghui.org) An elementary school in Taiwan hosted a Thanksgiving event. The head teacher, Ms. Wang Yuqing, handed out cards and asked each student write down what they were grateful for. Surprisingly, many of the students wrote that they were grateful to their teacher for introducing them to Falun Dafa and educating them with the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.
Students recite poems from Hong Yin.
Being Grateful for the Principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance
Wen wrote, "Thank you, Ms. Wang, for teaching us about Falun Dafa's principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. We have learned to become better people, to refrain from fighting back and we also kindly remind our classmates when they behave inappropriately. I am grateful to Ms. Wang for letting us practice the fifth meditation exercise during the afternoons. Not only are we able to calm our hearts and transform our black substance, karma, into the white substance, virtue, we also have become more healthy and fit."
Zhen wrote, "I am grateful to Ms. Wang for nurturing us. I also learned the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. These principles have taught me how to upgrade my xinxing and cultivation level.
Cheng wrote, "I am grateful that Ms. Wang taught us about Falun Dafa's principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance. I did many bad things in the past and Ms. Wang has helped me turn around. Thank you, Ms. Wang, for letting us read Master's lectures, read Hong Yin, practice the Falun Dafa exercises and purify our bodies. We have all come together because of our predestined relationship."
Yu wrote, "I am grateful to Ms. Wang for teaching us wholeheartedly every day. Not only do you correct our homework, you also teach us how to abide by the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance and recite the nine special words 'Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good.' I am extremely grateful for your guidance."
Though a boy named Wang was the only student who declined to practice the exercises and study the Fa, he also wrote that he was grateful for Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance.
Ms. Wang was very touched by her students' gratitude. She said, "You need not thank me, you should thank Master Li Hongzhi, the founder of Falun Dafa. I obtained the Fa a bit earlier than you and perhaps we had agreed to cultivate back to our true origins together!"
Witnessing Miracles by Reciting a Special Phrase
By studying and memorizing the Fa every day, some students developed an interest in Falun Dafa and decided to take the book Zhuan Falun home. Ms. Wang also gave these students a copies of a Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance Special Edition and a Minghui Window Special Edition, to help them gain a better understanding of Dafa. To Ms. Wang's surprise, many other students were also interested in the special editions, so she placed two copies of the special editions in the classroom so students could access them during their break times.
Ms. Wang was worried that the special editions would be damaged, as many of the school books had been. However, Ms. Wang found that the special editions still looked brand new after a couple of weeks. She was touched at how the students respected and treasured Dafa books and the special editions.
Students told Ms. Wang that they experienced amazing things after reciting "Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good."
An said, "After reciting "Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good," my fever went down and I was able to sleep."
Zhen said, "I was tested three times after having blood in my urine and the doctor said that I might have kidney problems. I was very worried and kept reciting "Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good." When I returned to be tested for the fourth time, the doctor said I was fine! This was indeed a miracle!"
After personally experiencing his health problems disappear after reciting the special phrase, Zhen said, "Ms. Wang, do you know what I want to be when I grow up? My dream is to become a scientist. I want to research how reciting "Falun Dafa is good. Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance is good" can be beneficial to one's physical health!"
The phrase seemed to have taken root deep within the students' hearts, bringing hope and light into their lives.
Students' Understanding About Virtue and Karma
Hao realized that his Lego pieces were missing and he was quite sure that someone had taken them from him. He was very upset and told Ms. Wang, "Teacher, can you help me find my lost Lego pieces? I hope whoever took them can return them to me."
Ms. Wang told the whole class, "Hao is very upset that his Lego pieces are missing. He is not angry but hopes that whoever took them can return them. If Hao did something that made you unhappy, you can tell him and he will correct his behavior. However, taking things away from your classmates is wrong and you will lose virtue, or white substance. Legos can be bought with money, but virtue is very priceless. Virtue cannot be bought with any amount of money."
Though Hao's Lego pieces were still missing, he was able to take the matter more lightly. He said to Ms. Wang, "Teacher, it's okay if I don't get my Legos back. Whoever took my Legos has already accrued karma and has given me virtue."
Wen is an adorable child who is well-liked by everyone. She would often run out to play without completing the work that needed to be done. After studying Dafa, Wen became hardworking and started to do all her tasks well. She also stepped up to fulfill the responsibilities of others. She learned to tolerate and forgive her classmates' pranks.
A male classmate threw Wen's pencil in the trash one day and her friends reported the boy to the teacher. When the teacher came over, the boy became very anxious. The teacher asked Wen what had happened. Wen paused for a moment and then said, "Nothing happened." The male student was very ashamed of his actions and apologized to Wen. The teacher was very touched by Wen's tolerance and forgiveness.
The teacher discussed this incident with the class and asked the students, "Why do you think Wen remained silent and chose not to tell the teacher when she was being bullied?" Many students raised their hands and replied, "This was because she was abiding by the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance." "She already obtained the virtue."
Special Needs Students Receive Blessings
Tian was a child who needed special help. He threw temper tantrums and was unreasonable at times. After cultivating Falun Dafa, Tian became more sincere, compassionate and more considerate of others. He became more polite and also learned to look inward.
He asked Ms. Wang every day, "Did I abide by the principles of Truthfulness-Compassion-Forbearance today?" Instead of replying directly, Ms. Wang would ask him if he abided by those principles. Tian would shake his head and say no. Ms. Wang suggested that he look inward to find his own shortcomings. Tian said, "I did not hand in my homework in the morning and became very angry. I will hand in my homework voluntarily next time."
Tian started to sincerely look inward every day to correct his behavior. One day he happily told Ms. Wang, "I can go on a trip with my tutoring class this winter break!" Ms. Wang asked, "Why couldn't you go before?" Xiao Tian smiled and replied, "I did not behave well in the past and the tutors did not let me attend these trips. However, after becoming more obedient, my tutors said I could go."
While reciting the poem "Tempering The Will" from Hong Yin one day, Tian raised his hand and said, "According to my current level of understanding, I think this poem means that after one consummates, one is able to reach Buddhahood. One should find joy in suffering. Physical pain counts very little as suffering and the hardships in the mind are the toughest to endure. There are many tribulations that one needs to overcome in life." While Tian explained his understanding of the poem with a sincere heart, Ms. Wang felt very happy that a troubled child had turned himself around.
The students handwrite poems from Hong Yin every day. Though Tang has some learning disabilities, she would still handwrite the poems with a sincere heart. She does the double lotus position while reading Hong Yin. Her sincerity touched Ms. Wang's heart.
The school assessed the students with special needs and Tang became very nervous because she was afraid the she might not do well. She was so anxious that she had trouble falling asleep at night. Ms. Wang reassured her and said, "As long as you've tried your best, that's all that matters."
When Mr. Jiang, the teacher in charge of Tang's tutoring class, learned that Tang passed the assessment, he said excitedly, "Tang passed the assessment! She passed it!" Tang had never passed the assessment before.
The whole class applauded for Tang. Some students were wondering how Tang passed the assessment this time, so Ms. Wang stated that it was the blessings Tang had received from handwriting poems in Hong Yin with a sincere heart. Most importantly, Tang never pursued anything and accomplished her tasks as a student with a pure heart.

El Chapo's Wife Sentenced to Three Years in Jail for Drug Trafficking and Money Laundering Charges
Emma Coronel Aispuro receives the jail sentence after she pleads guilty to drug trafficking, money laundering as well as conspiracy to distribute cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin and marijuana for importation into the U.S.
AceShowbiz - Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman's wife has been sentenced to three years in prison. Emma Coronel Aispuro received the jail sentence after she faced drug trafficking and money laundering charges.
The 32-year-old beauty expressed sincere regret for her role in the case and acknowledged full responsibility in a statement to the court on Tuesday, November 30. She then pleaded with the judge to take into account her nine-year-old twins, who are already living with one parent.
The wife of the drug kingpin was accused of helping her husband's Sinaloa cartel while he was in custody. Previously, prosecutors wanted to impose a four-year sentence on her after she pleaded guilty to drug trafficking, money laundering as well as conspiracy to distribute cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin and marijuana for importation into the U.S.
However, Emma, who was taken into police custody in February, was given credit for time served, having been behind the bars for nine months. The judge also considered her role in support of her husband's illegal business to be "minimal." As she accepted responsibility quickly after her arrest, she received a relatively short sentence.

"The defendant is going to have to participate in raising her 9-year-old twins because their father will not be able to do so, given his long-term incarceration," judge Rudolph Conteras said. The judge then imposed a $300 special assessment fine for each of the three counts to which she pleaded guilty.
As part of her plea deal, Emma turned over $1.5 million in illicit proceeds from her husband's illegal operations. She also admitted to helping him move a whopping 450 kilograms of cocaine, 90 kilograms of heroin and nearly 90,000 kilograms of marijuana into the U.S.
Emma was arrested at the Dulles International Airport in Virginia in February, two years after her husband was sentenced to life in prison. "We're just trying to get the full scope of the government allegations at this time," lawyers Jeffrey Lichtman and Mariel Colon, who were representing the former beauty queen, said at the time.
As for El Chapo, he was convicted of 17 charges and sentenced to life plus 30 years in federal prison after a jury trial in 2019 in the U.S. His wife also regularly attended his trial, even when testimony implicated her in his prison breaks.

The  is a Japanese law. It was enacted on 7 April 1947 to govern working conditions in Japan. According to Article 1 of the Act, its goal is to ensure that "Working conditions shall be those which should meet the needs of workers who live lives worthy of human beings."

Historical background
As the Second World War was nearing its end, on 26 July 1945, Allied leaders Winston Churchill, Harry S Truman, and Chiang Kai-shek issued the Potsdam Declaration, which demanded Japan's unconditional surrender. This declaration also defined the major goals of the postsurrender Allied occupation: "The Japanese government shall remove all obstacles to the revival and strengthening of democratic tendencies among the Japanese people. Freedom of speech, of religion, and of thought, as well as respect for the fundamental human rights shall be established" (Section 10). In addition, the document stated: "The occupying forces of the Allies shall be withdrawn from Japan as soon as these objectives have been accomplished and there has been established in accordance with the freely expressed will of the Japanese people a peacefully inclined and responsible government" (Section 12). The Allies sought not merely punishment or reparations from a militaristic foe, but fundamental changes in the nature of its political system. In the words of political scientist Robert E. Ward: "The occupation was perhaps the single most exhaustively planned operation of massive and externally directed political change in world history."

Allied Occupation of Japan
After the Japanese surrender on 15 August 1945, allied forces, mostly American, rapidly began arriving in Japan. Almost immediately, the occupiers began an intensive program of legal changes designed to democratize Japan.

While it was created while Japan was under occupation, the origins of the Act have nothing to do with the occupation forces. It appears to have been the brainchild of Kosaku Teramoto, a former member of the Thought Police, who was now the head of the Labor Standards section of the Welfare Ministry.

The situation during the occupation was very confusing, and Teramoto managed to convince a number of industrialists, bureaucrats, and politicians that GHQ was demanding strict controls on working conditions. He and a small staff then drafted the bill, based on prewar provisions that had been suspended by the military government, as well as a review of International Labor Organization conventions. The occupation authorities knew nothing about the bill until Teramoto handed it to Theodore Cohen, head of GHQ's Labor Division. The Americans gave the law their blessing, and Teramoto was able to tell the industrialists, bureaucrats and politicians that they had no choice but to go along with what the occupation forces wanted.

Amendments
After being passed in 1947, The Labor Standards Act was amended in 1947, 1949 (twice), 1950, 1952, 1954, 1956, 1958, 1959, 1962, 1965, 1967, 1968, 1969, 1972, 1976, 1983, 1984, 1985 (three times), 1987, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1995, 1997, 1998, 1999 (four times), 2001 (three times), 2002 (three times), and 2003 (three times).

Main provisions
The law consists of 13 chapters and supplementary provisions:

 Chapter 1 General Provisions (Articles 1–12)
 Chapter 2 Labor Contract (Articles 13–23)
 Chapter 3 Wages (Articles 24–31)
 Chapter 4 Working Hours, Rest Periods, Rest Days, and Annual Paid Leave (Articles 32–41)

 Chapter 9 Rules of Employment (Articles 89–93)
 Articles 89 and 90 cover Work rules
 Chapter 10 Dormitories (Articles 94-96-3)
 Chapter 11 Inspection bodies (Articles 97–105)
 Chapter 12 Miscellaneous Provisions (Articles 105-2-116)
 Chapter 13 Penal Provisions (Articles 117–121)

North Walsham lost their unbeaten status in London One North to fellow high-flyers Colchester in a full blooded contest, going down by three tries to two.
Despite the Vikings not gaining any set-piece ball for the first hour of the game, excellent home defence kept the visitors to one score at the interval and denied them a try bonus point by the finish.
Chris Godwin started his 250th game for Walsham before the Vikings lost a scrum against the head, a second when they were pushed off the ball and gave away a penalty at the third, all within five minutes of the start. James Crozier made a hash of the place kick.
Home centre Taare Ferris was stretchered off on the quarter hour with a knee injury, Will Hodgson dropping to the backs as Dan Bird came on into the second row. Ryan Oakes took a yellow card before Tom Browes and Lachlan Brown-Bates gave Frank Scott and Dane Canning a breather in the front row.
Although Crozier missed a second kick at goal, a further penalty resulted in a try for Colchester scrum-half Matt Wadling, for Crozier to convert.
Red Lion Coltishall man of the match Bird tackled like a demon as Will Swart ripped the ball clear to relieve the line, the sides turning round at 7-0 in the visitors' favour.
Colchester started the second half with a man in the sin bin, but sub Dan Brennan broke through the middle for a second try for Crozier to convert.
The visitors continued to press, full back Damien Brambley finishing off with a well taken score, added to by Crozier. From the resulting drop-out, James Knight gathered the ball and sprinted to the corner for a Walsham try, which Matt Hodgson couldn't convert.
The Vikings now began to get into the game, with some sharp interplay as they started to win line-out ball on their own throw and cleared the ball from their own put in with a rapid heel at the scrum. Several pairs of hands almost got Matt Hodgson over the line before Brown-Bates took the honours for Hodgson to add the extras.
Head of Rugby Johnny Marsters managed to view the game from the touchline, while temporarily out of hospital after receiving treatment for a blood infection.
North Walsham Raiders maintained their unbeaten run in EC1 North with an eight try 44-5 win over Wymondham II.
George Masdin opened the scoring after five minutes, with further scores coming from Michael Mulhall (3), Ed Sampson (2), Henry Hunt and Joe Morrell.
Mulhall and George Isbell added a conversion each.
Leaders Beccles beat Norwich Medics 29-15 to make it four straight wins while Lowestoft & Yarmouth were beaten 29-21 by Diss II at Gunton Park and Norwich Union saw off Norwich II 19-12 at Beeston Hyrne.
Norwich opened the scoring with an unconverted try before www.osteostasis.com man of the match Jon Spicker drove through the remains of a scrum to score his first of the try game, which was duly converted by Tom Whitehouse. It wasn't long before Spicker scored his second try after linking up with winger Daniel Norgate, with Whitehouse again adding the extras. Norwich reduced the arrears with a penalty try but Union had the final say as winger Callum Slaughter raced over for the decisive score.


One of Rene Magritte's masterpieces is entitled the "Castle in the Pyrenees". It shows a gigantic heavy rock, with a tiny castle sitting on top of it, and the two floating weightlessly in space. The title of this house, Magritte's, was inspired by this image.
The clients, a young couple in their 30's, requested the whole house to be built in concrete outside and inside, including all of the furniture.
Cast-in-place pre-stressed concrete was used to support the massive concrete volume which was separated from the podium, as if floating weightlessly like the rock in Magritte's painting. Structural floors are supported at two ends only allowing for gaps between the walls on the orthotomic sides of the floor slabs.

I thought Japan had enough about them to prove a test for Samoa and Scotland in upcoming games but I certainly didn't think they would stay close let alone, topple the mighty Springboks yesterday!
Even Argentina beating the All Blacks at Wembley in the late afternoon game wouldn't be such a seismic shock.
Back in Brighton at lunchtime, Samoa should see off USA but they can't be backed to give up 17 points when they won the teams' summer Pacific Nations Cup clash in San Jose 21-16 and the Eagles pack now includes destructive ex-Northampton now Toulon number eight Samu Manoa.
Still-current Saints Kahn Fotuali'i and Ken Pisi will have warned their international teammates how hard it is to stop Manoa once he is on the move but aiming to deny him time on the ball and actually doing so are two different things. And Samoa give away a lot of penalties so lineout drives from kicks to touch should be a feature. USA also have strike-runners in Chris Wyles and Taku Ngwenya if they are given space/Samoa are reduced in numbers as they are prone to being.
Samoa were also missing players in the June meeting (when they took a 21-3 lead) and one of those, Tim Nanai-Williams, is the man to be on for a try. Nanai-Williams is a Super rugby winner with the Chiefs and starts at full-back but it will be no surprise to see him switch to the centres or wing as the game goes on. He was a shining light for Samoa in their warm-up defeat by the Barbarians at the Olympic Stadium with his mazy runs.
Wales will run up a cricket score (if not quite as many as we/the opposition managed yesterday in our final league game of the summer) against Uruguay in Cardiff and again the tryscorer markets are the place to head for bets, especially with all the bookmakers concessions. Wingers Alex Cuthbert and Hallam Amos should have fun but go for Wales full-back Liam Williams to score two or more tries at 15-8 with Paddy Power and it would be rude not to go for him getting the hat-trick at 13-2 with the same bookmaker. Like namesake centre Scott, a fellow Scarlet too, Williams runs great lines and while he is returning from injury and may not be at his sharpest, his ability to play wing and the need for game-time should keep him on the pitch.
I will be at Wembley with the eldest for what I think will be one of the games of the pool stages between New Zealand and Argentina. As said earlier I am not expecting an upset but nor do I think they will necessarily romp it. They know the Pumas, who beat hosts France on the opening night of 2007 and went all the way to the semi-finals. The rest of the pool stages will be about putting on a show, this will be about the ABs getting their knockout stage tactics in shape. Any All Black can be chosen to score a try because they are so good and they will have so much ball. Full back Ben Smith is my pick at 15-8 with Skybet. Smith can play on the wing or at full back.

Destinations: United States
Exploring Vermont's White River
Brad yoder - October 15, 2015
The White's small tributaries offer the adventure of exploration and the possibility of 30-fish days. Expect small trout on the tributaries. Photo: Tamara Hutzler
The fly just tickled the water's surface when it disappeared into what seemed like a washtub-size boil. Jeff set the hook instinctively and his rod bowed deep to its handle. Then the water parted and a large White River brown trout cartwheeled into the air. When the fish returned to the water, his line went limp. His tippet had a clean cut where the brown's teeth had sliced it. He was not disappointed; perhaps the sight of the fish was enough, and he had already landed and released several nice trout, including a 17-inch rainbow that tore into his backing. The rest of the morning was much the same, with the occasional trout leaping from the choppy currents to intercept his flies.

At lunch, Jeff and I estimated that he had hooked 15 wild rainbows and browns from 10 to 17 inches long. The big brown he lost we guessed at close to 24 inches. Jeff has fished Western waters and was surprised that we had the river to ourselves and that we had rarely changed his #10 Adams Wulff. It was a typical spring/summer day on Vermont's White River—secluded, uncomplicated fly fishing for wild trout in a spectacular setting.
The White is an overlooked destination, always overshadowed by the famous Battenkill near Manchester. But fly fishers who know and fish the river always return because of light fishing pressure and eager wild fish. The river and its branches—and its many tributaries—have some of the best fly fishing for wild trout in central Vermont. Although the hatches are undependable and unpredictable because the river's water level fluctuates, its large wadeable stretches of classic pocketwater, riffles, and runs provide excellent attractor dry-fly fishing for opportunistic trout. Some of the sporadic hatches include Quill Gordons, Blue-winged Olives, Hendricksons, Sulphurs, Light Cahills, and Little Green Stones.
A Diverse River
Located in central Vermont, and spread out through the towns of Granville, Bethel, Tunbridge, and Randolph, the White's headwaters flow eastward off the Green Mountains. The river drains an area of over 700 square miles—Vermont's fourth largest watershed. The White system is fed by four major branches: the Mainstem (out of Granville); the First (out of Tunbridge); the Second (out of East Randolph), and the Third (out of Randolph). It also has dozens of excellent tributaries, most of which hold wild trout.
Running south out of the Granville basin, the river parallels Route 100 through the towns of Rochester and Stockbridge, then turns east through Gaysville and meets the Third Branch at Bethel. It continues eastward and is joined by the Second and First branches on its way to the Connecticut River at White River Junction.
From top to bottom—57 miles—the White River's fishing possibilities are extraordinary. In its tiny headwaters, native brookies maintain healthy populations. In lower elevations, wild brook/brown and brook/brown/rainbow populations thrive. In its valley stretches, wild browns, rainbows, and a few brookies share habitat with large numbers of Atlantic-salmon parr.
The White River's main stem and three branches and their tributaries offer some of Vermont's best freestone fly fishing to rainbows, browns, and brook trout. The main stem above Gaysville has superb pocketwater stretches, and long glides (above) where clear water makes fishing a challenge. Small tributaries hold wild native brookies. Photo: Hanson Carroll
Below Bethel, smallmouth bass mix with rainbows and browns, and miles of exceptional wade-fishing lie along Vermont Route 14, which parallels the river to White River Junction. All the fishing is accessible by foot. The grocery list for the larger fish in this portion of the river includes crayfish, dobson fly (hellgrammites) and sculpin.
The White is the Green Mountain State's only major river free of dams, and it is the focus of the federal Atlantic Salmon Restoration Project. Before dams were built on the Connecticut River in the 19th century, Atlantic salmon reached the river, spawning as far upstream as the village of Rochester, some 250 miles from the Atlantic Ocean.
An ongoing federally-funded salmon restoration program on the Connecticut River and its headwaters is fueled by Atlantic-salmon fingerlings produced annually by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's White River National Fish Hatchery, located on the Mainstem between Gaysville and Bethel. Salmon fingerlings produced at the hatchery are released into the White and other Connecticut River tributaries, where they grow to parr and then, in two years, to smolt size. Then they leave the tributaries, swim downriver to the Connecticut River and to the ocean, hopefully to return in two to three years as adult salmon ready to spawn. To date there have been a few adult Atlantic-salmon returns to the river and hope remains for self-sustaining runs of these beautiful fish in their original watershed.
Along with plantings of Atlantic-salmon fry, portions of the White are "lightly" stocked annually in early spring with rainbow, brown, and brook trout. The stockings, in the First and Second branches, are designed for put-and-take fishing, but, as in most New England streams, few of the stockers survive and by midsummer the river contains virtually all wild fish.
The good news is that the White's small tributaries hold thriving self-sustaining populations of wild brookies, browns, and rainbows, and they supply the hardy wild trout that feed the Mainstem. Such Mainstem brook tributaries as Locust Creek, Broad, Hancock, and Lillieville brooks, and the Third Branch's Bethel Gilead Brook, provide healthy young-of-the-year brookies, browns, and rainbows to the river, and they provide excellent fishing on their own.
These small tributaries are ideal for short rods and small attractor drys (#18 Royal Coachmen and Royal Wulffs and #14-#18 black ant and beetle imitations), wets (#14-#16 Coachmen and Mickey Finn), and nymphs (#16-#18 Hare's Ears and Pheasant Tails). Many have lower-elevation mixed populations of wild brookies, browns, and rainbows. The explorations and discoveries on these small streams are half the fun.
A day of exploration includes easy hikes up cold, shaded mountain freestone streams, picking pockets and pools of their brightly-colored, frisky fish that range in size from two to 14 inches, depending on the elevation. The higher you explore in these secluded mountain trout hideaways, the more small native brookies you will find. You'll have the water to yourself: It's a place for learning the basics of fly fishing or refreshing cherished memories in solitude. Stony Brook, Locust Creek, and Broad Brook are good starting points. Because of their small size and water clarity, these streams require stealth and perfect presentations.

The Mainstem
(Stockbridge to Gaysville)
The Mainstem's best middle reaches flow south from the village of Stockbridge, where the river is a large, gravel-bottom freestone stream with healthy numbers of wild brown and rainbow trout. Huge boulders hold back the currents and create deep, clear pools with excellent wade-fishing. Route 107 provides access all the way to Bethel. The water is as close to gin-clear as water gets, and as a result, the trout from there down to Bethel can be as finicky as any in the state.
The first few river miles from Stockbridge downstream to Cobb Bridge is best reached by Route 107 rather than by Blackmer Boulevard, which parallels the river on its east side from Stockbridge to Cobb Bridge. A short walk off Route 107, this stretch is worth the hike for the fishing and the solitude. Every year, anglers at the deep Cobb Bridge pool hook some large fish at dusk when the fish come out from under the ledge rock wall to eat caddis. An Elk-hair Caddis fished with a slight twitch works well just before dark.
Superb dry-fly water begins at Cobb Bridge and continues downstream to the river's confluence with Stony Brook. The river swings well away from the road and hugs the base of the mountains, where it receives shade and stays relatively cool even in midsummer. A #12 Bivisible or Royal Coachman, cast to the long glides and gentle riffles, provides the action.
When you fish to skittish rising trout on these quiet waters, dress in muted colors and wade in slow motion. "Fishing far and fine" challenges the veterans here. They fish 12-foot leaders on 3- or 4-weights, making long presentations to "smutting" trout. These stretches provide excellent training grounds for flat-water hatch-matchers. They also provide easier riffle and pocketwater fishing for novices.
For a wonderful day trip, try your luck at the old concrete bridge abutments just above the confluence with Stony Brook. Start in the morning with a #14 Bead-head Caddis Pupa, then work up Stony Brook with a #14 Elk-hair Caddis dry in the afternoon. The trout are opportunistic, but they are sensitive to presentation, so a dragging fly results in refusals and spooked fish. Present your fly upstream whenever possible to get close to the trout in the riffles and pocketwater.
The water from Stony Brook Road downstream to Gaysville has everything—beautiful scenery, productive pocketwater, long riffles, deep pools, and big trout. Drys and nymphs take fish from the pocketwater if you keep your casts short. Productive patterns include the Adams Wulff (#8-#12) and Hare's Ears (#12-#16).
Tricos, one of the few dependable hatches, emerge in August and September, with the best dry-fly fishing occurring between 7:30 A.M. and noon. Clouds of tiny Trico spinners hover over pools, and pods of large fish wait for them to fall. The swimming hole just above Gaysville is particularly productive during this hatch, but be prepared to share the water with swimmers and tubers on warm summer days. Be ready to fish the hatch with 12-foot leaders, 7X tippets, and #22-#24 Trico thorax patterns.

(Gaysville to South Royalton)
The White's only special-regulation water (artificials only, one fish over 18 inches bag limit) begins two miles downstream from the Gaysville bridge and stretches from Lillieville Brook downstream 3.3 miles to just below Cleveland Brook.
The special regs were implemented in 1994 to improve the wild-trout populations, especially rainbow trout, and to increase the overall size of trout. Fisheries biologists say it's too early to evaluate the success of the program, but this water is your best bet for a trophy fish on the Mainstem above Bethel. Trout over 16 inches are common, and I have seen several fish in excess of 24 inches during low-water periods.

The best way to reach the special-regs water is to get onto River Road in Gaysville and follow it along the river toward Bethel. My favorite fly for this section is a #14 olive or natural Hare's-ear Nymph, fished upstream, dead-drift, and with an indicator. Stonefly Buggers (#6-#10) and large attractor drys (Irresistibles, #10-#14) worked in the riffles and deeper runs also take fish.
If you are after trophy fish, on midsummer nights and at dawn you should scan the flat-water sections of this area for large cruising browns that move into the riffles to gorge themselves on the river's healthy crayfish and sculpin populations. Tie your best #4 crayfish pattern to a 3X tippet and listen for the sound of a trout working the shallows. Cast two feet ahead of the fish and hang on! Concentrate on the areas just above and below the salmon hatchery.
When you are fishing the Mainstem, be sure to fish barbless flies, particularly when using drys. The special-regs area and above contains as many as 2, 200 Atlantic-salmon parr per mile. These feisty youngsters are particularly vulnerable to small drys. Learn to differentiate them from trout, treat them gently, and release them unharmed. They are the future generation of salmon, ready after two years of life in the river to head to the sea.
The Branches
The White's Third Branch empties into the Mainstem at Bethel after traveling almost 20 miles from its headwaters. This branch offers everything from beaver-pond brookies in its upper reaches to large browns and rainbows that hide in the undercut banks of the meandering meadow stream. The upper reaches above Randolph are best reached from Route 12A. The water upstream of the bridge in West Braintree has good fishing for aggressive wild trout. I caught my largest wild Vermont brook trout (14 inches) there on a #14 Adams Parachute. The Third Branch has a Trico hatch, but it is difficult to locate, especially in low-water years.
You can reach the lower areas below Randolph easily from the Lower Stock Farm Road, but access to some areas is limited by posted private property. Large (#4-#10) Woolly Buggers and leech patterns cast tight to the undercut banks just might get you the brown of a lifetime.
The White River's main stem and three branches and their tributaries offer some of Vermont's best freestone fly fishing to rainbows, browns, and brook trout. The main stem above Gaysville has superb pocketwater stretches, and long glides where clear water makes fishing a challenge. Small tributaries hold wild native brookies (above). Right: Hanson Carroll photo, Philip Hanyok inset photo.
Below Bethel, the White runs parallel with Interstate 89 and Vermont Route 14 and continues downstream through South Royalton and Sharon. To explore the lower White, follow Vermont Route 14, which runs along the river's north shoreline. The river doubles in size and is much slower and susceptible to fluctuations in water temperature. The trout (brown and rainbow) share water with smallmouth bass that can run up to five pounds.
Some large browns inhabit this stretch of river, particularly in the deep pools. If you want a trophy brown or a large smallmouth bass, this is the place to explore, fishing early morning or late evening with large Dahlberg Divers, Marabou Muddlers, crayfish imitations, or Zoo Cougars. Use 6-weight floating lines or 130- to 200-grain heads swung across tailouts and shallows.
The White's Second Branch enters the Mainstem at the junction of Routes 107 and 14 in North Royalton. Flowing through a heavily farmed valley, it suffers from high water temperatures, serious siltation, and bank erosion. There are several pockets of brook trout in the open meadow reaches above East Randolph, but you must compete with the cows for casting space. These fish see few flies and will take almost anything small you present.
The Second Branch is a focal point of the local Trout Unlimited Chapter and the White River Partnership, a grassroots watchdog group interested in the river's conservation and restoration. The group in 1999 received a $1.5 million U.S. Forest Service grant to promote environmental awareness in the watershed. Streambank and habitat stabilization projects are on the agenda and hopefully will improve the fishing.
The First Branch runs through one of the most picturesque valleys in the state. Several covered bridges cross this 20-mile section, and ledge-rock waterfalls and plunge pools give it a quality all its own. Running south through Tunbridge, the First Branch enters the White at South Royalton. Route 110 provides easy access along the stream's entire length.
The White River below Stony Brook has productive pocketwater, long riffles, deep pools, and big trout. To catch the pocketwater trout, make short, upstream casts with dry flies and nymphs. Photo: Brad Yoder
Fishing best in the early season, the First Branch suffers in midseason from high water temperatures. But when the water is warm, good fishing continues in the cooler headwaters above Flint Bridge, where you will find brooks, browns, and rainbows. A #6-#10 Kaufmann's Stonefly or a #4-#8 black Woolly Bugger thrown into the turbulent waters of the plunge pools can produce surprising results.
Standard 81/2- to 9-foot, 4- and 5-weight rods are good choices for fishing the White and its branches. Longer rods help remove line from the water while high-sticking and mending. A fast-action rod with reserve power in the butt section will help you throw large flies during runoff periods. On the smaller tribs, I scale down to slower-action rods of 61/2 to 71/2 feet in 0- to 3-weights.
It's a given that when fish are rising and there are naturals covering the water's surface, you must match the hatch. Unfortunately, during the other 95 percent of the time, picking the right fly can drive you to distraction. The White River defies many hatch-matching traditions: fly selection is relatively easy if you know a few facts.
My advice is to leave the hatch charts at home. They will only frustrate you. Most of the insects I find in Vermont rivers are caddis, and they are in the water column in some form all season. So, bead-head Caddis Pupa patterns (#12-#16) and Elk-wing Caddis drys (#10-#18) get the job done.
Nymphs for mayflies are best imitated with natural or olive Hare's-ear and Pheasant-tail Nymphs (#8-#18). Match duns with Hare's-ear Parachutes or olive Compara-duns (#12-#18). The predominant forage is crayfish and sculpin, and most imitations will catch hungry trout.
It's important to play the odds when fishing the White. Find some pocketwater and start with a caddis pupa imitation, fished upstream with a strike indicator. If you like streamers, try a #4 crayfish or wool-head sculpin. Cast down-and-across and retrieve it with short, quick strips. Big attractor drys (Humpy, #8-#12) will produce after the water warms in the spring. Fish them upstream and concentrate on your presentation. Simplify your fly fishing and get back to basics. It's not what fly is tied to the end of your tippet, but how you present it.

Level 3 introduces your pup to the CGCA. Most pups will pass this evaluation by 20 weeks, however, each pup is unique and settles into adolescence differently. Appleridge will assist you in making the right decision for progression for you and your dog when it's ready. Level #4 completion may be more appropriate for most adolescent GSD to be evaluated for their CGCA.
Your pup MUST have passed a AKC CGC to be considered for CGCA.
Walks on a loose leash in a natural situation (not in a ring) -- does not pull.
Dog walks past distraction dogs present; does not pull.
Sit -- stay in small group (3 other people with dogs).

Doorway or gate can be real or simulated with ring gates, two chairs, or a natural passageway (e.g., entrance to trail) in the community.
This stage lends a new challenge of adolescent behaviors. Each dog, reacts differently. All Service dogs are recommended spayed and or neutered at 6 months. Competitive Obedience dogs are now eligible to compete at AKC Sanctioned events. Polishing is critical at this phase. We become very black and white with training commands now. It's Right or it's NOT.
Distraction training - out of site. Items of value will be placed on the floor, counters, everywhere as a test to determine that your dog can and will " leave it" despite you being absent from the room.
Distraction with activity. Your dog shall remain in a calm and controlled manner while toys, balls and even dogs run about them playing, walking or running. We will also expect this type of control in an off leash down stay and sit stay with the handler 30 feet from the dog.

Sit stay shall be performed with distractions for a period of 3 minutes with handler at a distance of 30 feet.

Stairs, steps, or elevator under control.
To pass the CGCU test, dogs must pass all 10 items of the test.
complete a BN or RN AKC title, which will be included on their official AKC registration papers.
I am prepared to pay the additional $1000.oo USD for the official title over and above the cost of the training.
This process will be completed and tested by 2 or more judges, for 3 completed "legs" of which your dog will achieve a 85% or greater score out of the 200 points achievable, with a least 50% of the points in each task part of the testing.

Off leash Heel. The dog and handler shall HEEL off leash together at a normal, fast, or slow pace changing directions which includes a right, left and about turn. Flawlessly the team must work together to show complete control of the dog. In this exercise the team must halt from motion with a instant sit from motion, without command.
Off leash recall. The dog will be left in a " sit, wait" position at one end of the field or building. The handler shall leave the dog competently by turning and walking away.

Domino's data breach: Details of 18 crore orders, 10 lakh credit cards compromised
By CNBCTV18.COMMay 24, 2021 1:05:37 PM IST (Published)
In a massive data breach 18 crore order details of popular pizza delivery chain Domino's India have been leaked and now available on dark web.
In a massive data breach, 18 crore order details of popular pizza delivery chain Domino's India have been leaked and are now available on the dark web. The leaked data includes sensitive information like mobile number, name, e-mail, and GPS location of users.
Hackers breached Domino's India servers and have got access to the details of 18 crore orders and 10 lakh credit cards that were used to purchase on the company's application. The personal details of customers, over 13TB data, are now available for public access on the dark web.
The data breach was first flagged by cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia.
"Again!! Data of 18 crore orders of Domino's India have become public. Hacker created a search engine on Dark Web. If you have ever ordered Dominos India online, your data might be leaked. Data include name, e-mail, mobile number, GPS location, etc, tweeted Rajaharia.

According to a PTI report, Jubilant Foodworks that owns the master franchisee for Domino's Pizza in India has admitted to the data breach while adding that customers' financial information remains safe.
It is also being alleged that the hacker has got access to internal files on Domino's India servers containing all data from 2015-2021.
How will it impact customers?
The order details of the customers are now in the public domain. This is an infringement of their privacy. Besides, the leaked data is being used to spy on customers and send targeted messages. Hackers have also created a search engine on the dark web.
"The worst part of this alleged breach is that people are using this data to spy on people. Anybody can easily search any mobile number and can check a person's past locations with date and time. This seems like a real threat to our privacy," Rajaharia in another tweet.

Though Domino's India claims that the financial details of customers are secure, experts have suggested Domino's customers frequently change their passwords.
What does the hacker(s) demand?
Earlier in April, Alon Gal, CTO of security firm Hudson Rock, had said that a threat actor had claimed to have hacked Domino's India's database. He added, "The threat actor is looking for around $550,000 for the database and saying they have plans to build a search portal to enable querying the data."

What Jubilant FoodWorks claims?
The officials of the Jubilant FoodWorks have admitted to the data breach. "No data pertaining to financial information of any person was accessed and the incident has not resulted in any operational or business impact," a company spokesperson said in a statement. As a policy, we do not store financial details or credit card data of our customers, thus no such information has been compromised, added the statement, according to an IANS report.
The company has said that its team of experts is investigating the matter and that "we have taken necessary actions to contain the incident."

In this section, you or a loved one can find out more about medical treatments and practical information about non-small cell lung cancer. Read on to find answers to some of your questions as well as links to other information. Being informed is an important first step toward becoming an active decision-maker in your care plan.
Lung cancer starts when cells of the lung become abnormal and begin to grow out of control. As more cancer cells develop, they can form into a tumor and spread to other areas of the body.
There are subtypes of NSCLC, which start from different types of lung cells. But they are grouped together as NSCLC because the approach to treatment and the outlook are often similar.
This type of cancer grows anywhere in the lungs. It grows and spreads rapidly and can be difficult to treat. A type of cancer in this group known as large cell neuroendocrine carcinoma is fast-growing and very similar to small cell lung cancer.
What Causes Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)?
Different cancers have different risk factors. Some risk factors, like smoking, can be changed. Others, like a person's age or family history, can't be changed. Several risk factors can make you more likely to develop lung cancer.
Tobacco smoke—Smoking is the leading risk factor for lung cancer. The longer you smoke, the greater your risk. Cigar smoking and pipe smoking are almost as likely to cause lung cancer as cigarette smoking.
Secondhand smoke—If you don't smoke, breathing in the smoke of others (called secondhand smoke or environmental tobacco smoke) can increase your risk of developing lung cancer.
Exposure to asbestos—People who work with asbestos are several times more likely to die of lung cancer. Lung cancer risk is much greater in workers exposed to asbestos who also smoke.
What Are the Effects of Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC)?
Usually the symptoms and effects of lung cancer do not appear until the disease is already advanced. Even when lung cancer causes symptoms, people may mistake them for other problems, such as an infection or effects from smoking. Some lung cancers are found by accident as a result of tests for other conditions.
Lung cancers typically start in the cells lining the bronchi and parts of the lung such as the bronchioles or alveoli. Most lung cancers do not cause any symptoms until they have spread, but some people with early lung cancer do have symptoms.
A large vein, the superior vena cava, returns blood from the upper part of the body to the heart. It is located near the right lung and lymph nodes. If there is a tumor near it, the tumor can press on the SVC and block the blood from returning to the heart. This blockage can lead to swelling in the face, neck, arms and upper chest. It can also cause headaches, dizziness or changes in the level of consciousness. SVC syndrome can occur gradually or suddenly and may require emergency treatment.
Some lung cancers can make hormone-like substances that enter the bloodstream and cause problems with distant tissues and organs, even though the cancer has not spread to those tissues or organs. These problems are called paraneoplastic syndromes.
Your healthcare team will continue to check to make sure the cancer has not returned, manage any side effects, and monitor your overall health.
This plan may include regular physical examinations and/or medical tests to monitor your recovery for the coming months and years and watching for recurrence or second cancer.
Cancer recurs because small areas of cancer cells may remain undetected in the body. Over time, these cells may increase in number until they show up on test results or cause signs or symptoms. During follow-up care, a doctor familiar with your medical history can give you personalized information about your risk of recurrence.
Some people may have blood tests or imaging tests as part of regular follow-up care, but testing recommendations depend on several factors including the type and stage of cancer originally diagnosed and the types of treatment given.
Complementary methods refer to treatments that are used along with your regular medical care. These methods can include vitamins, herbs, and special diets, or other methods such as acupuncture or massage. Alternative treatments are used instead of a doctor's medical treatment. Be sure to talk to your cancer care team, they can help you learn what is known about the method, which can help you make an informed decision.
When treatments have been tried and no longer control the cancer, it could be time to weigh whether or not you continue treatment. There are many reasons you might decide not to get cancer treatment. If you choose not to treat the cancer, you can still get supportive care to help with pain and other symptoms.
Hospital- or clinic-based support services are an important part of your care. These might include nursing or social work services, financial aid, nutritional advice, rehab or spiritual help.
Palliative care (treatment that relives pain but does not treat the underlying condition) can also be used to help with symptoms.


I'm trying to assign a routing link code to a line item in a production BOM where the line type = Production BOM. I get a validation error telling me that the line type must be "Item" not "Production BOM"
This seems to infer that only inventory items can have a routing link in a BOM. Is this correct?
Yes, you should put routing link code into underlying production BOM lines.
