Q: How to follow automatic form submitting and redirection using nightmarejs (or casperjs/phantomjs) Using nightmarejs, I'd like follow several redirection and automatic form submitting, which is invoked by the page script. And want to get the last page.
For instance, the page content of http://myexample/ like this:
<html><body>
<form action="http://somewhere/" method="post">
  <!-- some params -->
</form>
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script>
$('form').submit();
</script>
</body></html>

The script element of this page submits the form. And the post request to http://somewhere/ is sent. And then http://somewhere/ returns 302 response to http://another/.
To get the last page (http://another/), I tried nightmarejs code like this:
var Nightmare = require('nightmare');
new Nightmare()
    .goto('http://myexample/')
    .wait(1000)
    .url(function(url) {
        console.log(url);
    })
    .evaluate(function () {
        return window.location.href;
    }, function (res) {
        console.log(res);
    })
    .run();

I tried url and evaluate methods but I could not get last page.
Is there a way to support the case like this? The answer using casperjs or phantomjs are also welcome.
UPDATE
I've tried PhanomJS and been able to follow redirects. But there was another problem that connection fails by SSL Handshake failed error. I've solved this to add --ssl-protocol=any option.

A: You can use the .wait(fn[, arg1, arg2,...]) method to follow a re-direct.
var loginUrl = '...';
var loggedInUrl = '...';
new Nightmare().goto(loginUrl)
  .type('#username', '')
  .type('#password', '')
  .click('#loginBtn')
  .wait(function () {
    return window.location.href === loggedInUrl;
  });

Alternatively, if there is some unique DOM element on the destination URL, you can use the .wait(selector) method.  Check out the documentation here: https://github.com/segmentio/nightmare

A: You can use the events described in the API to check when a redirect happens. If you use the urlchanged event, you get the new URL which you can use.

My problems centered around gut pain and how my diet affects that. This was particularly challenging because I didn't have a very good understanding of nutrition and the relationship between food and health, particularly gut health. Marcelle was instrumental in helping me understand those dynamics and guiding me towards better choices.
After working with Marcelle, I have experienced an overall sense of improved health and wellness. My connection to food is much more developed, meaning that I appreciate food on a level I hadn't before. Moreover, I recognize the direct link between what I put in my body and how I feel, which is somewhat revelatory. This is a motivator to keep going. Marcelle's expertise and experience allowed me to stay on course, gain the knowledge I needed, while at the same time avoiding pitfalls that I never could have avoided left to my own devices…no matter how much time I spent online.
Marcelle is a pleasure to work with both personally and professionally. Personally, she brings a youthful enthusiasm with her bright and accessible personality that is at once disarming and persuasive. Professionally, she possesses a rare combination of professional and experiential knowledge. She's personally "been there/done that" with her own health and gut issues, and this makes all the difference in the world to her coaching.
I would absolutely recommend working with Marcelle and already have! Marcelle is able to provide the services that a client is looking for, at a reasonable rate, with maximum convenience, and with an attitude that is a joy to work with.


As a bicyclist, you need to be aware of your surroundings when you are traveling on the same roads as large motor vehicles. Unfortunately, even when you are paying close attention to other cars and traffic lights, a collision is sometimes unavoidable.
When a car hits you while you're on your bike, you have the right to seek full compensation for all of your resulting damages. Below, we discuss potential at-fault parties and the amount you can expect to be awarded when you sue after getting hit by a car on your bike.
Because you were hit by a car, your initial reaction may be to assume that the driver is going to be responsible for the accident. This could be the case, especially if the driver was under the influence or distracted at the time of the accident.
However, other parties could have played a part in the cause of your injuries. Maybe the car hit a huge pothole that sent the vehicle in your direction, or perhaps the car itself malfunctioned due to a defective part. A government road safety authority or automaker, respectively, could be to blame for those cases.
Cyclists often suffer permanently disabling injuries after being struck by a motor vehicle. A bicycle is simply no match for a multi-ton vehicle traveling at high speed. When your injuries are this severe, you'll need as much monetary repayment as you can get.
You can expect your injury lawyer to seek compensation for your financial, psychological, and physical losses, as well as for the impact that your injuries have had on your personal relationships and ability to enjoy your life.
For help with all aspects of your bike injury claim, you can reach out to a Riverside bicycle accident lawyer at Dickson Kohan & Bablove, LLP. Just give our office a call at 1-844-404-2400 or fill out the quick contact form below.

Comment: 1380 sf attached home in Sun City, single story. 2 bedrooms, bathroom, great room have textured ceiling. Home built in 1973. Does not appear the texture is painted. Considering making an offer on this home, need to know cost to remove/texture ceiling for painting assuming worst case/cost scenario if there is asbestos given the age of the home.
Comment: I have purchased a home that I wanted to remove the water stained and discolored popcorn ceilings but it was tested and found to have asbestos in it. There are two bedrooms and the living room/dining room areas that still have the popcorn ceilings. I need an idea of what it will cost to remove it and how long that would take, versus encapsulating it and how long that would take. The rooms have odd angled walls so I just measured their longest and widest dimensions and came up with 1089 sq ft of ceiling. I know the actual square footage is less than this but I should be able to at least get rough cost estimates based on this size of space.
Comment: An asbestos tile was installed in early 70's. Someone recently removed it and the paper backing is still on the concrete floor and needs to be removed.
Comment: Need a quote to see what the cost of removing the asbestos on a 1886 SQ foot home. It is located in Sun City Arizona. I have a recent report for review.
Comment: Don't know if black glue found has asbestos.
Comment: We are modeling our home. It includes removing interior walls, approximately 40 lf and an exterior wall approximately 20 lf. Testing was completed on several walls and asbestos was found.
Comment: In the process of remodeling kitchen was instructed to have flooring tested due to age of the home. Of 10 layers, 2 layers tested 30-40% positive. Before I can continue I need the old flooring removed.

10 things we found out because of Freedom of Information
Credits: BBC
The Freedom of Information Act came in 10 years ago. It's led to the unearthing of a trove of facts.
Ten years ago, thanks to the actions of a "naive, foolish, irresponsible nincompoop", the British people acquired an important new legal right.
That anyway is how Tony Blair castigates himself in his memoirs for allowing his government to proceed with introducing the Freedom of Information Act. The law, which came into force on 1 January 2005, gives everyone the right to obtain much of the information held by public authorities (with numerous substantial exceptions).
FOI has become a well-established tool for finding out more about the workings of central and local government and the rest of the public sector. So after a decade of freedom of information, what have we discovered that we might not know otherwise – and what does that tell us about the impact of FOI?
1. MPs' expenses
The scandal over expenses that erupted in 2009 led to prison terms for five Labour MPs and two Conservative peers. A slew of others had to repay money.
Arguably the most famous of the claims revealed was one which Commons officials had ruled "not allowable". Sir Peter Viggers tried to claim £1,645 for a floating duck house in the garden pond at his constituency home.
The whole episode was exposed as a direct result of a series of FOI requests.
After losing a lengthy legal battle about how much detail they would have to release under FOI about MPs' expense claims, the Commons authorities were forced to collate millions of invoices, receipts, letters and other documents going back over several years to prepare them for disclosure.
This raw material was then leaked to the Daily Telegraph, which in May 2009 ran story after story about highly embarrassing, greedy, unjustifiable and sometimes criminal behaviour by politicians.
It led to numerous resignations and retirements, the repayment of significant sums, the creation of a new parliamentary pay and expenses system, and a reputational disaster for Parliament and the political class generally.
Some British diplomats initially ridiculed suggestions that the accession of Poland and other east European countries to the European Union in 2004 would lead to widespread immigration into the UK.
One message, for example, from the British Embassy in Warsaw reporting back to the Foreign Office in London had stated: "One month after succession and the tumbleweeds are not yet blowing down the streets of Poland. As experts had predicted the country has not yet moved en masse to the UK."
By 2010 the number of Polish people in the UK had quintupled to more than 500,000.
Much internal government discussion is still kept secret despite FOI, on the basis that disclosure would harm the frankness of the policy formulation process. But sometimes such material is released.
3. A&E ambulance delays
Some patients taken by ambulance to accident and emergency departments are kept waiting in the vehicle for much longer than the recommended 15 minutes, with people having to wait for several hours in some cases.
This report from 2013 is one of numerous FOI-based surveys which have explored different aspects of the pressures on hospital A&E departments and their consequences. It exemplifies how FOI can often be used to monitor how public services are performing, whether targets are being met in practice, and how badly they may be missed in some cases.
The longest waits for ambulances were in Wales, with a record of 6hrs 22mins and an average waiting time of 20 minutes.
4. Unanswered 101 calls
Hundreds of thousands of phone calls to the 101 non-emergency police number have been going unanswered annually, suggesting that callers hang up rather than wait a long time for an answer.
The data for nine months of 2012 covering 30 out of 43 English and Welsh police forces showed nearly half a million calls were unanswered. For six particularly poorly performing forces the average waiting time exceeded the target of 30 seconds. In some areas the worst waits approached half an hour or even longer.
FOI makes it easier to obtain this kind of performance data for public services, helping members of the public who have a frustrating experience of calling 101 to discover whether their case is isolated or all too common.
5. Knife amnesty
In 2006 widespread concern about knife crime and some particularly horrific cases led police to arrange a highly publicised knife amnesty. Tens of thousands of knives that could have been used as weapons were handed in.
A Metropolitan Police statistical evaluation of the amnesty in London concluded that a few weeks after this operation rates of knife crime were running at pre-amnesty levels. The amnesty appeared to have no long-term impact on reducing this form of violent crime, a fact which only came to light as a result of an FOI request for the report.
Thus freedom of information helped to reveal whether or not a particular public policy was actually having the desired impact.
6. MOT failures
Figures comparing how different makes and models of cars fared in MOT tests were released in 2010.
This followed an 18-month dispute between the BBC and the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency, part of the Department for Transport. VOSA argued that disclosing the data would breach commercial confidentiality, but were forced to concede by the Information Commissioner, who backed the BBC's request for the data.
The data revealed that Renault Meganes for example had a comparatively bad record of failure and Honda Jazzes a particularly good record of passing. This compared cars of the same age.
It's one of a number of cases where FOI disclosures have only happened after requesters persisted in taking their case to the Information Commissioner or the Information Rights Tribunal, which can overrule public authorities who refuse to supply information.
7. Policing the Old Firm
In the 2010/11 season it cost Strathclyde Police over £2m to police football games between Celtic and Rangers, the passionate derby clashes between the "Old Firm". But the clubs only paid them £300,000 towards this.
This might be the area where FOI has probably had the most far-reaching impact – discovering how much public money is being spent on what. The circumstances in which it can be argued that releasing this would be against the public interest are limited.
8. Restaurant hygiene
Food hygiene ratings for hundreds of thousands of restaurants, cafes and shops are now publicly available thanks to FOI.
In the early years of freedom of information, Bridgend Council in south Wales refused an FOI request for a copy of a food hygiene inspection report for a local hotel. But it was then overruled by the Information Commissioner, whose decision effectively set a precedent that such reports should be in the public domain.
Now food hygiene scores are routinely disclosed (and many outlets display their own ratings themselves). Most of the information is easily available on the website of the Food Standards Agency.
It exemplifies how information which was once secret first went through a phase of being accessible only via FOI and has now become open data, routinely published by public authorities without anyone having to ask for it.
9. Older police
Whether or not police officers look younger to you, they've actually been getting older on average.
In 2013 it was revealed that the number of police officers under 26 in England and Wales fell by nearly half over a period of two years. In contrast the number of officers over 40 stayed roughly unchanged. In other words the fall in police numbers has affected the younger age range, at a time when there is concern about the fitness of police officers.
The Home Office went to the trouble of collecting this information from individual police forces. But it didn't publish the figures until an FOI request asked for them – an example of how freedom of information can bring into the open data that is already being collated centrally.
10. Exchange rate crisis
The Treasury calculated that the cost to the UK government of the dramatic but futile attempt to keep the value of the pound tied to European currency exchange rates in 1992 was about £3bn.
If that sounds like a lot of money, it's a fraction of the estimates involving tens of billions that were previously being made. The exchange rate crisis became the defining political disaster of John Major's period as prime minister. But there are many who argue the result of the crisis was a boost to the British economy.
This was one of the earliest high profile FOI disclosures, coming out in February 2005 only a month after the new law came into force. It illustrates how FOI can shed new light on recent political history, years before the standard timing for the release of historical government records would have applied.

Stop paying inflated new car dealership prices for your oil changes. Retain your warranty coverage and pay a fraction of the price when you use CarOne Kingston for your oil changes.
That's right, you can get your oil changed at nearly half the dealership price and retain your warranty, even if your car requires synthetic oil. And we won't compromise on quality. CarOne uses the same oil, filter and servicing method as a dealership.
There is a good reason why your lawn mower won't start if the oil levels are too low. In fact, if this feature were a realistic option for cars then many manufacturers would include it as standard.
For now, however, manufacturers rely on you to take action when that annoying "service engine soon" warning activates each time you start the car.
Even with the engineering advances and improvements in quality control in recent decades, you'll be very surprised at just how much oil your car burns. And not just between oil changes. In fact, your car can burn 25% of its oil between one fuel top up and the next.
Some German cars commonly burn a whole liter of oil for every 1,000 km's driven.
Your car probably holds approximately 4 liters of oil. Therefore you can burn through oil quite quickly, and failure to monitor the oil level could result in significant engine damage. In fact, if you continue to drive your car with no oil then you will certainly create catastrophic issues.
A regular oil change protects against this risk. An oil change is a lot less expensive than an engine replacement!
You'll notice a much smoother and more powerful driving experience with regular oil changes. Best of all, your car will run more efficiently because it will use less fuel.
Car oil becomes contaminated over time with small filings dislodged from your engine. This is a perfectly normal situation, however, your oil will thicken and become dirty as a result.
Oil naturally thickens because of extreme engine conditions. Did you know that your car's oil hits the engine's cylinders as they move up and down 3,000 times in a minute, even while you are only traveling at 50km per hour?
Couple that with our extreme Canadian weather conditions! As your oil is being pounded around your engine it's being subjected to our weather patterns – from subzero temperatures in winter to high humidity and heat in the summer.
Many manufacturers now recommend only changing your oil between 10,000 and 11,000km.
It's a safe bet to assume oil has provided its dollar's worth at 6,000 – 8,000km when you consider what the oil has to endure, and the critical important role it plays in keeping your car running smoothly and safely.
CarOne Kingston's Service Department will work with you to schedule your car servicing at a time that will cause the least inconvenience to you.
Nominate your ideal scheduling times and any additional concerns by booking online now and one our friendly Service Coordinators will be in touch.
You can ask about that same strange noise your car is making, or about that illuminated warning light online now!
The CarOne Service Department will research your question and provide a professional opinion within minutes of your request.

Q: Setting up R to compile with gfortran I am new to using R on Mac (have always used on Windows). I am wanting to install quantstrat which requires new github based xts version. For the compilation I understand I need gfortran. I have successfully installed gfortran with homebrew on macOS Sierra Version 10.12. However, I am struggling with the final piece of how to make R use gfortran. I understand that there should be 2 steps to this:
Tell R to use gfortran 4.8, create a file called ~/.R/Makevars:
mkdir -p ~/.R
touch ~/.R/Makevars

Put the following into ~/.R/Makevars:
FLIBS=""
F77="gfortran-4.8"
FC="gfortran-4.8"

I am a statistician and not a computer guru, and am struggling to know exactly:
1) How I create the 'Makevars' file (?I assume just run that code in the Terminal application)
2) Where I find 'Makevars' once I have created it (ie I presume like Program files on Windows). Is it then just a case of opening that file and pasting the text below?

O2/Telefonica calls time on 'O2 Health' with expensive service give-away & product recall
Posted on July 25, 2013 by 3G Doctor
A redirection on the entire O2Health.co.uk website confirms the leaked rumours that O2/Telefonica has called time on it's high stake plans to create a dedicated 'O2 Health' brand.
Although the cost of this branding adventure and the sudden withdrawal of services and giveaway of hardware will be somewhere north of £20 million it's not going to make much difference to the $66 Billion debt mountain at Telefonica (O2's parent company). All the same I'm still surprised that there has been no provision made for Patient data and service continuity as it's easy to see how this could impact on the O2 UK brand at large (a brand that generates £10 Billion/year in revenues) and it's hard to imagine the business model was so broken that G4S (the partner through which the services were managed) couldn't just run with the service.
Traction has been difficult for the 40+ member O2 Health sales teams who have been working with a most unusual commission structure (targets were not based on actual sales but on the number of customers you could open dialogue with – which says a lot about the readiness of the product offering) but I imagine the biggest actual impact this will have will be on the conference organisers and publishers who got rich on o2 Health's massive roadshow and advertising budgets (and of course the Medical Students in Leeds who bagged all those subsidised Apple Smartphones!)
It's interesting to look back on posts I've blogged over the years on O2 Health's changing focus and false starts:
> Powered by O2, March 2010
> Telefonica Creates Global eHealth Unit, July 2010
> This is not about Mobile Health or eHealth this is about Patients, July 2010
> O2 Reveal More on their mHealth Plans, August 2010
> O2 at the 2nd Mobile Healthcare Industry Summit, September 2010
> Leeds Medical Students get a great deal but thats nothing compared to what the University managed, October 2010
> Telecom TV checks out Telefonicas Spanish mHealth R&D Facility, November 2010
> O2 Mobile Readies First Consumer mHealth Push, June 2011
> O2/Telefonica announces trials of remote Doctor consulting service in Latin America and plans to launch a B2C service by end of 2011 – just dont expect a diagnosis, July 2011
> Will Large Scale Telco Privacy Breaches undermine the efforts of their mHealth units, February 2012
> Could false starts effect market confidence in mobile operator branded mhealth?, March 2012
> Poor analytics gets Telefonica optimistic about mHealth in emerging markets, July 2012
> TelecareAware: o2's Mobile Care in a shop near you, March 2013
Although it was quite clear to me that the product offering that O2 eventually went to market with was worse than half baked and had a risk profile that was completely off the chart the only way I see this abandon-the-sinking-ship-styled exit strategy working is if their customers haven't actually found the services to be useful (and as such become reliant on them).

We would like to let you know that O2 Health has taken the difficult decision to stop selling our telecare (Help at Hand) and telehealth (Health at Home) in the UK. We will cease providing the Help at Hand and Health at Home services to existing customers.
You will receive a full refund on your purchased Help at Hand devices and our Help at Hand service will be free between 23 July and 31 December 2013. A refund will also be given on unused airtime credit until 31 December. In addition to this, we would like to offer you £100 per connected customer. We hope you find a suitable alternative service. Customers will also have the option to keep the devices or return them to an O2 store for recycling.
For those healthcare and social care providers who have purchased Help at Hand or Health at Home for multiple users, service will continue until 31 December 2013, at which point service from O2 Health will be discontinued.
We fully appreciate and thank all our customers and partners for the time and investment made in working with us to deliver these products to end users. We recognise that we will need to support you with the discontinuation of the service over the coming months and to that a member of the O2 Health team will be in touch with you shortly to talk through next steps.
If you have any immediate concerns regarding this matter, please don't hesitate to contact 0800 111 6001.
Why are Help at Hand and Health at Home being withdrawn?
e-health is a sector with significant potential and, as such, remains an important priority for Telefonica (O2 Health's parent company). However, the uptake of mobile telecare and telehealth in the UK marketplace has been slower than anticipated. For these reasons, the difficult decision has been taken to withdraw these two products from the UK marketplace. In the UK we will continue to serve the health sector via our Public sector team who provide core mobile and ICT solutions.
What will happen to existing customers?
For business-to-business health and social care providers who have purchased Help at Hand on multi-user licences, service will continue until 31 December 2013 at which point service will cease.
We will work closely with our customers on a case-by-case basis to support a discontinuation plan between now and December.
How will O2 Health support councils and health/social care providers who are providing Help at Hand to customers?
We will work closely with our customers on a case-by-case basis to support a discontinuation plan between now and December. You will receive a full refund on your purchased devices and our Help at Hand service will be free between 23 July and 31 December 2013. A refund will also be given on airtime if you've used the service for more than six consecutive months. In addition to this, we would like to offer you £100. We hope you find a suitable alternative service.
Will we need to return the devices to O2 Health?
Business customers will also have the option to keep the devices. Alternatively you can return the devices to us and we will recycle them. Returns can be made to any O2 store.
What will happen to our user data on the Help at Hand management portal?
Following cessation of the service we will securely dispose of all customer data on the portal in accordance with our security policies.
Health at Home
For business-to-business healthcare providers who are using Health at Home on multi-user licences, service will continue until 31 December 2013 at which point service will cease.
How will O2 Health supporthealthcare providers who are providing Health at Home to customers, and who have invested considerable time, resource and money into helping to develop the platform?
We will work closely with our customers and a case-by-case basis to assess how we can support them with their transition planning, prior to the service ceasing on 31 December 2013.
What will happen to patient data on the Health at Home platform when the service discontinues? Will we still have access to the historical health data gathered during our usage of Health at Home?
Who should I contact at O2 Health if I have any queries about discontinuation of these products?
Please contact the O2 Health service desk on 0800 111 6001.

Pingback: Japanese Mobile Operator hire a dedicated "Senior Crew" to sell Fujitsu's Stylistic Smartphone | mHealth Insight: the blog of 3G Doctor
Steve Purdham says:
This plus your post on Softbank's hiring of 'Senior Crew' is useful to position things today. As a techie I love tech of any type but it became very clear when we reviewed the market that the 'need', education and value has to be ahead of the tech.
Your point in the Softbank post on seniors seeing (and understanding) the value is spot on and is the real barrier to the adoption curve for all the new tech desperately trying to find a market.
It will come but only when the time is right and maybe we have to step back from technology and bring it back in at the right time.

Last Thursday the world witnessed as a new Miss Universe has been crowned in the casino capital of the world Las Vegas. A total of more than 80 candidates from around the world competed for the title but in the end of course only one went home with the crown, Miss USA the new Miss Universe 2012.
Along with the crowning of the new queen are some intrigues among the spectators who thinks that Miss Philippines should have won the crown instead of Miss USA, stating that Janine of the Philippines gave a much more convincing reply to the judge's question.
Among the contestants who made it to the Top 5 along Miss USA and Philippines are Misses Brazil, Australia and Venezuela.
waiting for who's going to be crowned.
I like the idea that Janine veered away from the traditional Filipiniana costume and opted to showcase the traditions of the southern Philippines.
Anyways, the decision has been made and a new queen has been crowned. But what is much more trending on the social media sites is Ms. Venezuela's answer.
Even though that she is allowed to speak in her native language she still tried to answer in English which for me because a disaster!
May be if Ms. Philippines only answered ahead of Ms. Venezuela she could have thought twice and answered in Spanish instead.
Well still Congratulations to Ms. Philippines, just the fact that she emerged from a total of 89 candidates is a feat already.
With that let me leave you with a funny parody of the event's question and answer portion.


As a multi-function electrosurgical generator, The Hyfrecator® 2000 has a bipolar mode similar to those found in much larger systems. Bipolar Forceps are designed to grasp, manipulate and coagulate selected tissue. The electric current alternates between the two tips, reducing the length of the current's path and producing a precise, controlled therapeutic effect.


Home > Hospital Stays > What is Keyhole Surgery?
Keyhole surgery, which is also known as 'minimally invasive surgery', has sometimes been referred to as the greatest surgical advancement since anaesthetic since its introduction which came about as information technology made tiny cameras which could be inserted into the body working alongside computers possible.
There are many different types of conventional surgical procedure which can now be performed using keyhole surgery and the benefits to the patient are quite significant. These include less pain, minimal scarring, quicker recovery post operation and a faster resumption of normal everyday activities.
What Does Keyhole Surgery Entail?
Depending upon the area of the body where keyhole surgery is being performed, about 3 or 4 tiny incisions (sometimes even fewer), usually only around 10mm each, are made into which a special channel or tube is inserted. This is known as a 'port' and via this port, a special viewing instrument called an endoscope is passed through.
This will have a powerful light source on the end of it and will work like a telescopic camera projecting images from inside the body onto a TV monitor which the surgeon can look at so that he can see exactly what the problem is and what needs to be fixed. In addition to the camera, the surgeon can also pass one or a series of specialised, miniature surgical instruments through either the same port or a different port (which would require a further incision(s) depending upon the procedure which is being carried out.
The technology means that the surgeon can operate the equipment from outside of the body whilst looking at the monitor. Endoscopes vary in size and design depending upon the area of the body which is being operated on. Some are rigid and others more flexible and you may be familiar with the term 'laparoscopy'. This originates from 'laparoscope' which is the specialised tool used to perform keyhole surgery within the abdominal area.
What Procedures Can Be Performed Using Keyhole Surgery?
The extent of the surgery will determine how soon you will be able to go home after the operation. However as an example, where cruciate ligament replacement surgery would previously have meant you'd remain in hospital for a week or even longer, with keyhole surgery it is normal to go home after an overnight stay or after 2 days at the most. Scarring is minimal and any open wound should heal very quickly.
As this is a general article encompassing the whole keyhole surgery spectrum, it's not appropriate to second guess how long it would be before you could go back to work and resume all of your normal activities. Suffice to say, however, that any keyhole procedure will enable you to recover more quickly than any traditional method of surgery which would have been used previously.
Your GP or surgeon will be able to offer you more advice about keyhole surgery and whether it's an option for your particular condition and they will also be able to answer any further questions you may have as well as being able to provide you with leaflets and other information.
People have different recovery times dependent upon the type of operation, age, health and their ability to heal quickly or not. However, as specified in the article keyhole surgery is minimally invasive and you should be on your feet far quicker than you would be after a conventional operation. As with all operations plenty of R and R is the best route to a healthy recovery. Wishing you a speedy one.
@Yorkypps - weight loss surgery is not compulsary and can only be recommended. Here is some information about the procedure via the NHS which will give you more information. link here. I assume you have not yet been referred to a consultant? If you are, they will go through the process and will attempt to ease your concerns. However, according to the NHS, even if you are eligible for weight loss surgery, the demand for this surgery on the NHS is currently higher than the supply in many areas of the country. Therefore, there may be a considerable waiting list. I hope this helps.
I AM HAVING KEYHOLE SURGERY ON MY ANKLE BECAUSE OF OSTEO ARTHRITIS. WILL MY ANKLE BE IN A PLASTER CASE?
hello, I have few fibroids and am due for the keyhole op end of this month . Thefibroids vary in size , biggest being 10 cm and 6cm. I am quite confident to gothrough this procedure , except that the worrying part is that if theendoscope reveals other issues were an immediate opne surgery will be performed. Could i have your best advise on thisplease. I am 51 years old , withone kid.
I have had successful spinal fusion on L4 to L5. Due to negligence on my part a year after surgery, I developed a herniated disc between L3 and L4which showed up clearly on an MRI scan.This caused severe spinal stenosis resulting in backache and numbness in my right leg if I stand for any length of time. My surgeon recommended a discectomy to remove the protruding part of the offending disc. A doctor friend suggested that I investigate keyhole surgery to correct the problem. There is a specialist in our area that does this operation. What is your opinion? Kind Regards.
I am due to have the above operation and found the infomation provided very useful, it gave me more visual understanding of what this intails.Thank you.

I am using HomeMonitor to collect syslog information from my pfSense firewall. I also found a solution to have the squid logs forward to the syslog and now these logs are being sent to my splunk server. I can see the squid entries if I do a search for them (EX: index=homemonitor sourcetype="pfsense" squid), however I am not sure how to get the data into a format that will make sense when viewed. I am extremely new to Splunk and log management and it seems like this is a simple answer, however I do not know how to proceed and am hoping someone here can help.
Can you share a sample output for the squid logs? Please anonymize your IP's and such, I would like to see the structure of the logs and maybe we can come up with some useful view for you in the app.

Once again it is the end of the month, where I count up the Transformers that have come into my possession for the duration. In contrast to September, I received all these TFs in the first half of the month. And in direct contrast to October of last year, where I set a record number of TF figures purchased in a single month, this October is quite modest in terms of figures bought.
This comes to a total of 7 figs for October. 4 figs from Generations Thrilling 30, 1 Masterpiece fig, and 2 third party products.
MP Acid Storm was a pleasant find (though that same day, he was also available online). I have been hunting at TRU for about a month on a regular basis before I found him early in October. I really like the new Seeker MP molds. Acid Storm is an exact repaint of MP Thundercracker, and I have already mentioned what a awesome figure that is. Acid Storm certainly does not disappoint. I really wish Hasbro would also re-release Starscream and Skywarp in the US in the new MP molds.
The little Generations Thrilling 30 figures were ordered from Amazon. I have never seen these in store. So when I saw them on Amazon for only $1 more than MSRP, I wasted no time buying them. Technically they were not from Amazon, they were from TFSource selling through Amazon. That particular arrangement worked out quite well for me. I don't live in the same state as TFSource so I don't have to pay tax, and this is sold through Amazon so it qualifies for free ship with Amazon Prime (which I have). Anyway, the OP fig is just ok. The Bumblebee fig is not half bad. They are fun distractions, and they pose well with Metroplex.
The two third party figs are nothing short of incredible! Aurora by ToyWorld is an homage to Searchlight, a G1 Throttlebot. This figure transforms quite well. He looks nice in both modes, and the construction is solid. ToyWorld does intend to make all 6 Throttlebot homages, and supposedly they will combine! I know G1 Throttlebots never did this, but it's nice to see ToyWorld go out of their way to make this happen. Now that I've seen how cool Aurora is, I plan on getting the rest of them. I got Trace (Chase homage) on pre. Now I need to get Grind Rod (Rollbar).
That leaves Bovis. Fans have been gushing left and right on TF sites and forums about how well Mastermind Creations products are. They are right. Words alone cannot do justice to the quality that MMC have put into this figure. Bovis is a homage to Tantrum, a G1 Predacon. MMC is making the whole team. If the rest of the figs turn out as well as Bovis, then we are really in for a treat. Anyway, I transformed Bovis from robot to bull. He is a really solid piece that any G1 fan needs to own. Bovis is certainly large for a figure that can combine. Predaking will be massive! I love it.
I love when TransFans purposely mis-transform a figure to make it look better, or simply make it look different from a repaint that it came from. Such is the case with Fall of Cybertron Air Raid. He is a repaint of FOC Shockwave. Hasbro did make some minor mold changes to make the two figures distinct. However, their alt modes still look very similar. Fans have come up with alternate ways to transform the figure to give Air Raid a distinctive look.
First let's look at the official alt mode configuration.
Now let's look at an alternative way to transform this figure to its jet mode. Gemini showed me this interpretation.
I like this alternate configuration quite a bit. I think it looks just as good as the official form, if not better. At the very least, it differentiates Air Raid from Shockwave a tad more.
Happy Birthday to this blog! It is that time again, when I reflect back on what happened in the world of Transformers since the previous year. I can't believe it has been 4 years already since I started this blog. A lot has happened since then. Transformers are always evolving and transforming like their namesake, and I'm glad to be along for the ride.
This blog managed to get over 100,000 hits in the past year. I think that's pretty good, considering I do no advertising or marketing campaigns whatsoever. The huge spike in July of 2011 is because of the last TF movie, Dark of the Moon. The next movie will be summer of 2014. So can I expect another spike in hits? Only time will tell.
I do have some tentative future plans for this blog. Among them is to move it off WordPress, and host it on my own domain. I've been meaning to do that for some time now, but just can't find the time. I think I'll make that a goal for year 5.
Anyway, I'm happy to still be blogging. Long live Transformers. Now and forever… Transform and Roll Out!

Biden Labels Trump First U.S. Racist President
Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden labeled Donald Trump on Wednesday the first racist to become U.S. president.(Wapbaze_Copyright)
The Trump camp quickly rejected the label.(Wapbaze_Copyright)
Biden, who was vice president under Barack Obama, the first Black U.S. president, fielded a question at a Service Employees International Union roundtable from a healthcare worker concerned about the Republican president calling the coronavirus pandemic the "China virus."
He responded by saying it was "absolutely sickening" how Trump "deals with people based on the colour of their skin, their national origin, where they're from."
He added: "No sitting president's ever done this. Never, never, never.(Wapbaze_Copyright)
"No Republican president has done this. No Democratic president.(Wapbaze_Copyright)
"We've had racists, and they've existed, and they've tried to get elected president. He's the first one that has."
Trump campaign senior adviser Katrina Pierson fired back, calling Biden's comments "an insult to the intelligence of Black voters" given the onetime senator's past work with segregationist lawmakers.(Wapbaze_Copyright)
She said Trump "loves all people" and "works hard to empower all Americans."
A number of U.S. presidents owned slaves or supported policies including the repression of Native Americans and segregation of Black Americans.(Wapbaze_Copyright)
Princeton University said last month it was dropping former President Woodrow Wilson's name from the school, citing his racist thinking and policies.(Wapbaze_Copyright)
The Biden-Trump exchange marks an escalation in what had already been a heated clash on race in the campaign being waged between the two candidates, who are both white, ahead of their Nov. 3 election contest.(Wapbaze_Copyright)
Biden previously criticized Trump for stoking racial division, often saying that he was motivated to run for office by his outrage over Trump's assessment that "both sides" were to blame for violence between white supremacists and counter-protesters at a 2017 rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.(Wapbaze_Copyright)
Race became an even more central issue as protests raged over unarmed African Americans being killed by police in the aftermath of the May death of George Floyd, a Black man who died after a white Minneapolis police office pressed his neck into the pavement for more than eight minutes.

and refreshing directness of the language. I was even more impressed when I realized that I could quickly write complete web applications (and services) that are fast and scalable with only the Go standard libraries. The code is direct, easy to understand, and can be quickly and easily compiled into a single deployable binary file. I no longer need to throw in application servers to scale or to make my web application production-capable. Needless to say, all of these elements made Go my new favorite language for writing web applications.
Writing web applications has changed dramatically over the years, from static content to dynamic data over HTTP, from HTML content delivered from the server to client-side single-page applications consuming JSON data over HTTP. Almost as soon as the first web applications were written, web application frameworks appeared, making it easier for programmers to write them. Twenty years on, most programming languages have at least one web application framework—and many have dozens—and most applications written today are web applications.
While the popular web application frameworks made it easier to write web applications, they also concealed a lot of the underlying plumbing. It became increasingly common to find programmers who don't even understand how the World Wide Web works writing web applications. With Go I found a great tool to teach the basics of web application programming, properly. Writing web applications is direct and simple again. Everything's just there—no external libraries and dependencies. It's all about HTTP again and how to deliver content and data through it. So with that in mind, I approached Manning with an idea for a Go programming language book that focuses on teaching someone how to write web applications from the ground up, using nothing except the standard libraries. Manning quickly supported my idea and green-lighted the project. The book has taken a while to come together, but the feedback from the early access program (MEAP) was encouraging. I hope you will gain much and enjoy reading this book as much as I enjoyed writing it.

Federico Testa, President of the National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development (ENEA), and Claudio Descalzi, Eni CEO, have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) setting the stage for collaborative research into magnetic confinement fusion. Specifically, the memorandum of understanding (MoU) sets out the possibility of creating a company in order to work together on the Divertor Tokamak Test (DTT) in order to produce clean, safe, sustainable energy using the mechanism that lights up the stars. The DTT is the science and technology project under way at ENEA's centre in Frascati. It is a new experimental machine for testing different solutions and providing scientific and technological responses to certain issues in the fusion process, such as managing very high temperatures.
The MoU also requires the parties to jointly develop a strategy to carry out the DTT project, and to do a joint assessment of how best to structure the new company.
Eni's CEO has states, "Eni is proud to work on scientific matters with leading public and private research bodies like ENEA, which represents Italy's excellence in this sphere. This agreement further strengthens our commitment to the development of innovative technologies, a key point of Eni's decarbonisation strategy for a more sustainable future. The agreement confirms Eni's commitment to and interest in the challenging field of magnetic confinement fusion, which began a year ago with its investment in the start-up Commonwealth Fusion Systems (CFS) and collaborations with the MIT in the USA. More recently, Eni signed an agreement with the Italian National Research Council to create a joint research centre in Gela. We will contribute to this hugely important initiative with our industrial, technical and commercial expertise."
"ENEA is recognised as an international leader in the field of fusion thanks to the excellence of our researchers, equipment and cutting-edge technological laboratories," states President Testa, adding that the DTT project has already been fully financed and is putting Italy on the front line of research. It will also create 1,500 jobs and bring in over EUR 2 billion. "ENEA has gained an outstanding level of expertise in managing complex projects at Italian, European and worldwide levels, providing tests, studies and assessments aimed at increasing quality in products, services and processes. In doing so, it prioritises sustainability and optimises productivity and competitiveness. This partnership with Eni is a confirmation of all that."
The fusion agreement follows the memorandum of understanding signed in July 2018 to outline areas of common interest for joint development of innovative technological solutions.

We have been training agility since 1999, we went to our first class almost to the day when she turned one year old and was allowed to trian (you had to be a year old to be allowed to come to class at that time). That fall we participated in our first ever agility competition, we had big ideals and dreams and registered in open class (we only had open class and beginner class at that time). We have actually never participated in anything at beginner levels together (I don't say I recomend it, but it worked out fine for us). I also took my little poodle female to this competition where we competed in beginner class, but as her eye disease had started at that time (she had PRA) it affected her alot, her deapth perception was fuzzy and we took alot of time to finish the course. That was sadly also the last time she trained any agility. But from then on me and Fluga have participated in every competition held in Iceland, usually either won or placed evert time. In the begining of 2008 the Icelandic Kennelklub accepted a new set of complete agility rules (we hadn't really had any before, not official) and from then on we have held competitions with three height classes and three difficulty classes (same rules as are in Scandinavia and other european countries), so from then on everyone started at point zero, me and Fluga too. We held our first competition in 2008 with these rules and held 2 competitions that year and two in 2009 (surprisingly always when I happened to be in Iceland and could participate). These are the only competitions where I have the official results, the others are too far back for me to remember the results. Fluga was the first dog in Iceland to reach AG II and JUII classes, and she got there by winning all the courses.
In some ways im always a little sad that I never had the ability to learn agility from the best in the world, and train and compete against them with my little wonderdog Fluga, as I really believe she would have been able to keep up with them on every level. In stead I had the best training partner you could ever think of and who still, at the age of 12, runs faster and better than all the younger dogs.
Competitive obecience is not what you might call popular in Iceland, which I find rather sad because it is actually quite fun. I first learned some competitive obedience in 2000 when I was at a dogtrainers course with Line Sæther, held by the Icelandic kennel klub. Line kept on coming to Iceland after than on behalf of Hundalíf dog training school. She tought me the basic of what is called "momentslærning", which is about breaking the exercises into tiny little bits and then teaching each and every little bit before you put the whole exercise together. We learned competition heeling, but heeling is the basic of everything in obedience and a dog that doesn't heel will probably not do well in competitive obedience. Years whent by without me and Fluga participating in an obedience exam, but finally in 2008 we took part in the obedience series with the Dobermann Ísland club when they started up their competitions. We participated in two exams out of three but we still managed to be the highest scoring dog of the year and we actually gained the titel "Dobermann of the Year 2008", she was the first dog to gain that titel from the Dobermann Club, and a mixed breed at that.
The next test was held that summer, this time the judge was Monika Karlsdóttir. I don't have the scoresheet for that test yet, but the final score was 181 points and first place.

We're halfway through the year, and it's time to pick out the top five books, films and albums consumed over the previous six months. Not eaten, obviously – but read, watched and listened to, for the first time.
Last year, three out of the five books I picked at the halfway-mark made it through to the end of year top five. It'll be interesting to see if that happens again this year.
Evening's Empire, David Herter (2002). I read Herter's debut, Ceres Storm, shortly after it was published and thought it very good. So as soon as his second book, Evening's Empire, appeared on Amazon, I bought it. But, unlike his debut, it was fantasy, not sf, and so it sat on my book-shelves for close on a decade until I finally got around to reading it this year. I've no idea why it took me so long, but I'm deeply sorry I didn't read it earlier. Because I loved it. Evening's Empire starts out as a Crowley-esque fantasy set in a US north-west coastal town, but around halfway through it takes an odd left-hand turn and becomes something quite different. As a side-effect of reading Evening's Empire, I dug out my copy of Verne's Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and read it – the main character in Herter's novel is writing an opera based on Verne's book – but my edition is from 1966 and I'm told it's an inferior translation, which probably explains why I didn't enjoy it very much.
China Mountain Zhang, Maureen F McHugh (1992), was May's book for my reading challenge and, while I enjoyed January's book, Rosemary Kirstein's The Steerswoman, more, I think this is the better of the two books. I wrote about it here.
CCCP: Cosmic Communist Constructions Photographed, Frédéric Cha ubin (2011), may boast a somewhat forced title, but don't let that put you off. Over a period of some ten or so years, Chaubin photographed modernist buildings throughout the USSR and East Europe, buildings he describes as part of a fourth age of Soviet architecture. The results are strange and quite beautiful.
Voices from the Moon, Andrew Chaikin (2009), may have been yet another book celebrating the fortieth anniversary of the Apollo 11 Moon landings, but it's better than most of those published that year. I wrote about it on my Space Books blog here.
And that's it. But there are a lot of honourable mentions – books which didn't quite make the cut into the top five four: Blood Meridian, Cormac McCarthy (1985), though it contained some beautiful prose, was a bit too bleak, and its cast too monstrous, to make the list; Time of Hope, CP Snow (1949), the first book by internal chronology of Snow's Strangers and Brothers series was an excellent well-observed read; The Best of Kim Stanley Robinson (2010), was a good showcase though I'd not have described every story as "best", and Icehenge (1984), Kim Stanley Robinson, would have made the top five but for the fact it was a reread; Stretto, L Timmel Duchamp (2008), brought the Marq'ssan Cycle to an excellent end, and I really must finish that piece on the series I have planned; American Adulterer, Jed Mercurio (2009), maintains Mercurio's status as a writer I watch, though the subject matter was not as appealing as his Ascent; God's War, Kameron Hurley (2011), is a very strong debut, with a strong female protagonist and some excellent world-building, but its bleakness just stops it from making the list (I'll be buying the sequel, though); and The Steerswoman, Rosemary Kirstein (1989), was a book I thoroughly enjoyed, and I plan to read the entire series.
Pretty much all the films I watch are on DVD – either rentals, sent for review by Videovista, borrowed, or my own purchases. Most of them have been merely okay, and those that stood out did so by quite a margin. A bit of a cheat this time, as I'm going to include an entire season of a television series.
Norwegian Ninja, Thomas Cappelan Malling (2010), is, well, is hard to describe. It's a spoof 1980s action film based on an alternate take on the real life of Norwegian spy and traitor Arne Trehold. I loved it. I reviewed it for VideoVista here.
Ajami, dir. Scandar Copti and Yaron Shani (2009), is an Iraeli thriller, and a bloody excellent one too. I reviewed it for VideoVista here.
Much Ado About Nothing, dir. Stuart Burge (1984), was one of the BBC adaptations of Shakespeare's plays which I've been renting and watching. It's been an interesting exercise, though so far the tragedies have proven superior to the comedies. Except for this one. I don't know why it worked so well. Cherie Lunghi and Robert Lindsay were good in their roles as Beatrice and Benedick, but that's hardly unexpected. It just seemed in this play Shakespeare's wit really sparkled, his characters were appealing, and even Michael Elphick's strangely sweaty Dogberry with his ponderous malapropisms couldn't spoil things. The best of the Bard's so far.
Fringe season 2 (2009). Fringe may just be a 21st century X-Files, but since I was a fan of the X-Files… Except that's unfair on Fringe which, though it shares some similarities with the X-Files, is also very good television in its own right. I like the series mythology with its war with an alternate universe, and I like the weird science that Walter seems to have spent most of his life researching – and which he has now forgotten. Some episodes were better than others, but overall the quality was high. And the move in this season more toward the mythology made for some good and interesting drama.
Honourable mentions? Tales Of The Four Seasons, Éric Rohmer (1990 – 1998), of which I liked A Summer's Tale a great deal; The Secret In Their Eyes, Juan José Campanella (2009), was an extremely well-plotted thriller from Argentina; Water Drops On Burning Rocks, François Ozon (2000), is Ozon's film of a Rainer Werner Fassbinder script and is worth watching for the dancing scene alone; Summertime, David Lean (1955), is beautifully-shot and, for once, I didn't find Katherine Hepburn annoying in a film.
XXV, Pallas (2011), is the band's sixth studio album, and the first with new vocalist Paul Mackie. I heard it live before I heard the CD, and a very good performance it was too. The band were celebrating twenty-five years together and it showed. XXV feels a little heavier than earlier albums, though it still contains much proggy goodness and even – dare I say it? – a little radio-friendliness in places.
The Human Connection, Chaos Divine (2011), is the second album by an Australian death metal / prog band, and it's a little more prog than death than their debut. It's also a much better album. Opening track 'One Door' is superb. Each of the songs lulls you into a false sense of security before hammering you with some excellent riffs. A fine piece of work.
Návaz, Silent Stream of Godless Elegy (2011). I've been a fan of SSOGE's mix of doom metal and Moravian folk music since stumbling across some of their songs five or six years ago. Návaz is more folk-oriented than earlier albums, though there's plenty of chugging guitars and doomy growls to satisfy. The vocal layering at the end of 'Skryj Hlavu Do Dlaní' ('Hide Your Head In His Hands', according to Google Translate) will make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up.
BBC Radio 1 Live in Concert, Lone Star (1994). Welsh 1970s heavy rockers Lone Star have been a favourite band since I was at school. They only released two albums before splitting (a third was recorded, but an inferior copy of it was only released on CD in 2000). Between those two albums, the band swapped vocalists, from Kenny Driscoll to John Sloman, and BBC Radio 1 Live in Concert, recorded in 1976 and 1977, showcases some of their songs with each of the two singers. Strangely, the best tracks live are not the best ones on the studio albums – the version of 'Lonely Soldier' on BBC Radio 1 Live in Concert, for example, is absolutely superb and a classic piece of 1970s rock. Given that this album is only a sample of three radio sessions, I'd happily pay for a CD of all three sets.
Honourable mentions: In Live Concert at The Royal Albert Hall, Opeth (2010), a comprehensive live set recorded at the titular venue with the band's usual expertise, and accompanied by Åkerfeld's usual wit; Edge Of The Earth, Sylosis (2011), a good solid death metal concept album with some excellent riffs; Semper Fidelis, Sanctorum (2011), the third album by a young British death metal band – ambitious and mature; Communication Lost, Wolverine (2011), not as immediately likeable as previous albums but definitely a grower.

Why do I need to work with a custodian like NuView Trust?
The Internal Revenue Service requires a custodian to hold the IRA assets and the custodian is required to report transactions on the account. Due to some of the nuances with self-directed accounts, a majority of custodians do not accept these types of assets. NuView Trust performs these requirements in an effective and efficient manner.
What types of services does NuView Trust provide?
NuView Trust is a retirement plan record keeper for self-directed IRAs. We offer the same retirement plans as other plan administrators with one exception – we show you how to purchase the investments that you choose with your IRA funds.
We will help you ensure that your investment is purchased quickly, safely, and accurately. As your account administrator, we don't tell you what to invest in; rather, we guide you in your transaction purchases.
How can I use my IRA to buy alternative assets?
How do I determine which retirement plan is best for me?
Seek to make the highest contribution to your retirement that you can. Then choose the plan that will give you the most flexibility.
You can review our retirement plans for more information regarding plan types and contribution comparisons. You should also seek the services of a tax professional to assist you in the proper selection of the plan best suited for you.
You can self-direct the funds by rolling over your account into a traditional IRA or a qualified plan (if you are eligible to have a qualified plan) that permits complete self-direction, such as a NuView self-directed IRA. Contact your former employer's plan administrator or benefits department to determine what, if any, special procedures may be required.
You may roll over the assets you have in your old plan to your NuView Trust "in kind." "In kind" means that the assets you held in your old qualified plan, 401(k), or other plan are rolled as is into your IRA. There may be restrictions from the fund provider, broker, or annuity company about "in kind" rollovers or transfers. Your former employer will advise you about any restrictions.
What can I do with my NuView Trust?
You can invest into a number of alternative assets. If you are unsure if you can make a specific investment, please contact our office and speak with our transactions or sales team to get clarification about the investment. Our website also provides a wealth of information regarding common alternative investments.

You'll be asked a few questions regarding the type of account that you'd like to open and then you can submit the form and any supporting documents online or via postal mail.
Does NuView Trust have a minimum requirement to get started?
While there is no minimum amount, the amount you should start with depends on the nature of the deal or investment you plan to make. Keep in mind that if you make a cash contribution to your account, check the contribution limits for that account type.

A rollover occurs when you move money between two different types of retirement accounts. For example, moving money from a 401(k) into an IRA.

What are the different funds I can use to open a self-directed account with NuView Trust?
I own a small business. Can I offer self-directed IRAs to my employees?
If you have no common-law employees, that is those that are not spouses, owners or partners, the best plan may be the Individual(k), which permits the highest aggregate percentage of contributions and flexibility. The administration is straightforward and you are the trustee, custodian and administrator, unlike any IRA plans.
UBIT comes in two forms. Unrelated Business Income Tax (UBIT) and Unrelated Debt-Financed Income Tax (UDFI).
UBIT is applied to profits made on the sale of a debt-financed property. Preparation of the 990-T tax forms is performed by you. The trustee or custodian or appropriate agent will file such taxes and sign the tax forms on behalf of your plan.
What is the deadline to contribute to an IRA or Qualified Plan?
Qualified plans must be established by the last day of your fiscal year if contributions are to be made for that year. If you have a calendar year end, you need to establish the plan on or before the last day to contribute for that year. The contributions may be made until your company tax year deadline including extensions. 401(k) deferrals must be made no later than 30 days after which the contributions are received. For 12/31/2008, that deadline would be 30 days later.
SEP and SIMPLE IRA contributions may be made by the company tax deadline plus extensions, except for defaults, which follow the above rules. Traditional and Roth IRA contributions must be made by April 15 with no extensions.
Required minimum distributions are the minimum amounts that must be distributed to you from your retirement account(s) after you reach age 70 ½ (with the exception of the Roth IRA).

Are there any risks involved with investing in Private Entities?
While investments into private companies that are taxed, such as a C Corporation, will generally not create a tax liability within an IRA, this may not be the case when investing in a pass-through tax entity such as an LLC (S Corporations are unable to take IRA investments). As always, speak with a tax adviser about the tax implications of investing an IRA in an operational business with a pass-through tax structure as an Unrelated Business Income Tax liability may accrue. NuView is not a fiduciary and therefore cannot offer investment advice.
My IRA has Stake in a Private Company – What's Next?
As with all investments, the IRA holder should continue to monitor the performance and appropriateness of their investments. At the end of each year, the account holder will provide a third-party valuation of their investment to NuView to meet the requirements of the IRS.
Any dividends or other earnings from the investment belong to the IRA, which can be re-invested as directed. If the funds are invested into an operating company that is a pass-through tax entity, Unrelated Business Income Tax, or UBIT, may be accumulate and must then be paid by the IRA. As always, a tax advisor can provide more information on specific investments.
Can I use my Personal Funds to set up an LLC?
Like any other IRA investment expense, you must use the funds within your IRA to pay for your LLC expenses. Once your NuView IRA account is established and funded, you can create an LLC that is paid for by your IRA.
Can I purchase Bitcoin through an IRA at NuView?
Yes! You can setup an IRA for Bitcoin or other cryptocurrency investments through NuView. Although the process requires some steps to be taken by the client, NuView is here to help guide you.
A cryptocurrency is simply a digital version of money that uses cryptography for security. It's a digital asset designed to be used as a medium of exchange between two peers. The key feature of a cryptocurrency is that it is organic in nature; it is not issued by any central bank or authority, keeping it immune to government interference and/or manipulation. Typically cryptocurrency is stored within a digital wallet secured by a private key. Bitcoin, created in 2009, was the first decentralized cryptocurrency.
