Q: Using mod_rewrite to mask a directory/file name in a URL I've taken my site down for some prolonged maintenance and am using mod_rewrite to send all requests to a single page: www.mysite.com/temp/503.php
This is my .htaccess file which works fine.
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/temp/503.php [NC]
RewriteRule .* /temp/503.php [R,L]

However, what I'd also like to be able to do is to hide /temp/503.php in the resulting URL from the visitor.
I know this is perhaps trivial and I'm sure fairly simple to achieve, but with my limited mod_rewrite skills I can't seem to get it to work.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

A: Just get rid of the R flag in the rewrite rule, which tells the rule to redirect the request, thus changing the URL in the browser's location bar. So the rule would look like:
RewriteRule .* /temp/503.php [L]

which internally rewrites the requested URI instead of externally telling the browser that it's been moved to a new URL.

KU names new director of industrial partnerships
Kevin Boatright
kboatright@ku.edu
KU Center for Technology Commercialization
LAWRENCE — Building business relationships and enhancing the Kansas economy are high priorities for the University of Kansas. To help further that mission, KU has created a new position and hired an experienced scientist and business strategist to lead the effort.
Julie Nagel will join KU on Aug. 1 as director of industrial partnerships, reporting to Julie Goonewardene, associate vice chancellor for innovation and entrepreneurship in the Office of Research and Graduate Studies. Nagel is currently managing director of the Oncological Science Center at Purdue University's Discovery Park.
At KU, Nagel will work closely with the KU Center for Technology Commercialization to move university technology into the marketplace through startup companies and licensing agreements. In the process, Nagel will strengthen and broaden relationships with external partners – such as the Lawrence-Douglas County Biosciences Authority and its Bioscience & Technology Business Center – seek grants in support of these efforts, and assist with the development of a strategic plan for technology commercialization and outreach.
"KU is on the threshold of becoming a first-rate center for technology commercialization," Nagel said. "It has all the pieces in place. This is an opportunity to join a team that can look at the assets we have and use them to make a difference in peoples' lives. That means fostering innovation, creating jobs and focusing every day on how to make an impact."
Prior to joining Purdue in 2005, Nagel was a program director for Biotechnology Business Consultants, following service as a technical coordinator with Rubicon Genomics in Ann Arbor, Mich.
"That introduced me to the business side of the life sciences," Nagel said. "I learned about all sorts of technologies coming out of the University of Michigan and Wayne State University. I also learned why some technologies make it and others don't."
Nagel's academic background includes a B.S.E. degree in biology from John Brown University, an M.S. degree in zoology from Oklahoma State University and a Ph.D. degree in ecology and evolutionary biology from the University of Tennessee.
"Julie has experience integrating different groups," said Goonewardene, "reducing silos and leveraging research strengths across traditional boundaries to find what benefits everyone."
At Discovery Park, for example, Nagel managed a multi-institutional, $8 million cancer care engineering project that involved proposal development, project management, regulatory compliance, interdisciplinary research and the interface with research coordinators at clinical sites.
"At Purdue, she's focused on making it easier for industry to work with faculty," said Goondwardene, "by finding solutions to the obstacles that sometimes block collaboration with the university. She's also helped educate faculty about becoming entrepreneurs and risk-takers with their ideas. We are about to ramp up our educational program in that area, and Julie will make a significant contribution."
The Center for Technology Commercialization works with researchers at all KU campuses to protect their creative ideas and assist in the commercial development of their inventions. The outcomes include patents, licensing agreements, and company startups in a variety of fields. The overall goals are to promote entrepreneurism among faculty, staff, and students, reinvest funds in support of further research and benefit society.

Ross Ice Shelf Freezing, Not Melting: "It blew our minds."

Deep Bore Into Antarctica Finds Freezing Ice, Not Melting as Expected
Scientists will leave sensors in the hole to better understand the long-term changes in the ice, which may have big implications for global sea level.
By Douglas Fox
Scientists have peered into one of the least-explored swaths of ocean on Earth, a vast region located off the coast of West Antarctica.
SURPRISING FINDS
The surprises began almost as soon as a camera was lowered into the first borehole, around December 1. The undersides of ice shelves are usually smooth due to gradual melting. But as the camera passed through the bottom of the hole, it showed the underside of the ice adorned with a glittering layer of flat ice crystals—like a jumble of snowflakes—evidence that in this particular place, sea water is actually freezing onto the base of the…
THE Greatest Threat To The Environment Is Not Affluence, It's Poverty

Border between Haiti and the Dominican Republic: Guess which country contains eco-criminals that can afford to use fossil fuels, and which country contains nature-lovers who are dependent on natural renewable organic biomass for energy? (99% of Haiti's forests have been decimated, not for building materials, but for cooking fuel.)
WHEN the New York Times hired climate 'Lukewarmer' Bret Stephens as a contributing columnist in late April 2017, a collective cry of treasonous rage was heard throughout the deep-green environmental community. How dare anyone question whether we should accept absolutely every pronouncement of imminent eco-doom at face value?!

Climate Scientists Cancelling Their New York Times Subscription Over Hiring of Climate Denialist Bret Stephens
By Graham Readfearn • Thursday, April 27, 2017 – 16:59
A New York Times defence of its hiring of a climate science denialist as a leading columnist is pushing high-profile climate scientists to cancel their subscriptions.
Professor Stefan Rahmstorf, of the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impacts Research in Germany, is the latest scientist to write publicly to the New York Times detailing his reasons for cancelling their subscriptions.
The NYT has hired former Wall Street Journal columnist Bret Stephens as a writer and deputy editorial page editor.
Stephens wrote several columns while at the WSJ disparaging climate science and climate scientists, which he has collectively described as a "religion" while claiming rising temeperatures may be natural.
The NYT has been defending its decision publicly, saying that "millions of people" agree with Stephens on climate science and just because their readers don't like his opinions, that doesn't mean they shouldn't be heard.
But the NYT defence has angered scientists.

13 Better Things To Read Than Bret Stephens' First New York Times Column
The Gray Lady's newest hire used his debut column to defend his record of climate science denial.
29/04/2017 9:09 AM AEST
Alexander C. Kaufman Business & Environment Reporter, HuffPost
The New York Times took a lot of heat for hiring Bret Stephens, a former opinion writer at The Wall Street Journal, as its newest columnist. There was a lot to criticize. In his storied tenure on some of the most radically conservative pages in print journalism, Stephens accused Arabs of suffering a "disease of the mind," railed against the Black Lives Matter movement and dismissed the rise of campus rape as an "imaginary enemy."
But Stephens' views on climate change ― namely that the jury is still out on whether burning fossil fuels is the chief cause ― drew the widest condemnation. ThinkProgress admonished the Gray Lady for hiring an "extreme climate denier," and famed climatologist Michael Mann backed them up in the critique. DeSmog Blog, a site whose tagline reads "clearing the PR pollution that clouds climate science," reported on a letter from climate scientists who are canceling their subscriptions to the newspaper over its latest hire. In These Times' headline pointedly asked: "Why the Hell did the New York Times just hire a climate denier?"
Even the Times' own reporters publicly questioned the hire.
13 Better Things To Read Than Bret Stephens' First New York Times Column |HuffPo
(via WUWT)
STEPEHENS has recently written another reasoned column in the Times that has no doubt sent the eco-freaks into another predictable tailspin!
IN the Feb 8 opinion piece, "Apocalypse Not", Stephens argues that a healthy environment is dependent on a healthy economy first, namely a capitalist one.
"The foolish idea that capitalism is the enemy of the environment misses the point that environmentalism is itself a luxury that few poor countries can adequately afford. If you doubt this, contrast the air and water quality in New York City with that of any similar-sized city in the developing world."
A view not shared by radical environmental groups who, including the UN, believe that in order to "save the planet" we must fundamentally change the current economic development model. Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of the UN's Framework on Climate Change (UNFCCC) herself admitted that the goal of environmentalists is to destroy capitalism.
"This is the first time in the history of mankind that we are setting ourselves the task of intentionally, within a defined period of time, to change the economic development model that has been reigning for at least 150 years since the Industrial Revolution." – Christiana Figueres Brussels February, 2015
FIGUERES even went so far as to affirm that "Communism is the best model to fight global warming."
IN other words, the real agenda is concentrated political authority. Global warming is the hook.
GLOBAL Warming theory has long abandoned any connection it has with actual science. It is has become as ideology. A new religion. Australia's former Prime Minister Tony Abbott likening it to, "socialism masquerading as environmentalism".

HIGHLIGHTS from Stephens' must read column in the times…
Apocalypse Not
Norman Borlaug, the 1970 Nobel Peace Prize laureate.CreditMicheline Pelletier/Sygma, via Getty Images
In 1919, the director of the U.S. Bureau of Mines offered a dire warning for the future. "Within the next two to five years the oil fields of this country will reach their maximum production, and from that time on we will face an ever-increasing decline."
Nearly a century later, in July 2010, The Guardian ran a story with an ominous headline: "Lloyd's adds its voice to dire 'peak oil' warnings." Citing a report by the storied London insurer, the newspaper warned that businesses were "underestimating catastrophic consequences of declining oil," including oil at $200 a barrel by 2013, a global supply crunch, and overall "economic chaos."
I thought of these predictions on seeing the recent news that the United States is on the eve of breaking a 47-year production record by lifting more than 10 million barrels of crude a day. That's roughly twice what the U.S. produced just a decade ago, and may even put us on track to overtake Saudi Arabia and even Russia as the world's leading oil producer. As for global production, it rose by some 11 percent just since the Lloyd's report, and by almost 200 percent since 1965.
Call it yet another case of Apocalypse Not.
"In best-selling books and powerful speeches, Vogt argued that affluence is not our greatest achievement but our biggest problem," Mann writes. "Our prosperity is temporary, he said, because it is based on taking more from than earth than it can give. If we continue, the unavoidable result will be devastation on a global scale, perhaps including our extinction."
In our own day, people like Bill McKibben and Naomi Klein have made careers saying more or less the same thing. This is a world where the clock is permanently set at two minutes to midnight, and where only a radical transformation of modern society (usually combining dramatic changes in personal behavior along with a heavy dose of state intervention) can save us.
I fall in the Borlaugian camp. That's worth noting because one of the more tedious criticisms by the environmental left is that people like me "don't care about the environment." But imputing bad faith, stupidity or greed is always a lousy argument. Even conservatives want their children to breathe.
Borlaugians are environmentalists, too. They simply think the road to salvation lies not through making do with less, but rather through innovation and the conditions in which innovation tends to flourish, greater affluence and individual freedom most of all.
If environmental alarmists ever wonder why more people haven't come around to their way of thinking, it isn't because people like me occasionally voice doubts in newspaper op-eds. It's because too many past predictions of imminent disaster didn't come to pass.

My Hero Academia Chapter 378 Spoilers & Raw Scans | (Good luck, Gentle)
January 25, 2023 January 18, 2023 by Anamika Das
After SHUEISHA's long new year break, all its titles are finally coming back, My Hero Academia being one of them. Chapter 377 ended with an intriguing glimpse of La Brava, which excited the fans and made the wait for the new chapter all the more excruciating. But the wait is finally over, and the raw scans are out. So, wait no more because we're here with My Hero Academia Chapter 378 spoilers and raw scans.
My Hero Academia Chapter 378 Spoilers & Raw Scans
My Hero Academia Chapter 378 Release Date
The title of My Hero Academia Chapter 378 is "The Story of How We All Became Heroes – Part 3". The title is a reference to how even the villains have the potential to change and do something right.
The chapter starts with La Brava hacking and taking over Skeptic's systems. She says that when she was a shut-in, she hacked her way into the servers of Feel Good Inc. for fun and spammed their screens with cats with large eyes called the Ganriki Neko.
A small flashback shows Skeptic freaking out at that time. In the present, he remembers the incident.
La Brava, this time does the same again and spams Skeptic's screens with the Gankriki Neko, causing another freak out from him.
Skeptic suddenly realizes he needs to run away and turns two of his computers into humanoids.
Though La Brava has stopped the systems from getting completely taken over, the danger hasn't stopped, and U.A. is still falling.
Upon being questioned by the cops, La Brava replies that though she stopped the taking-over process, a lot of damage has already been done. She needs to create a new system to work with the remaining parts of the previous system. But that'll take time, and she won't manage to get it done within time.
My Hero Academia Chapter 378 then shows Tsukauchi's reluctance to work with villains, but he remembers Aoyama and the possibility that even villains can change.
Back to Deku, he remembers the words Shigaraki said to him during the war, that their inability to understand each other is what makes them heroes and villains.
Mandalay notifies everyone that U.A. is falling, causing everyone to start running. Kaminari and Fukidashi notice the Twice clones and are worried for Aizawa and Monoma.
The U.S. military jets are firing at the ground below, but they can't differentiate between allies and enemies from so high up. They suddenly notice a man standing in the air above the ocean. The man turns out to be none other than Gentle Criminal.
Skeptic, back in his cave, is stopped by a group of heroes consisting of Hound Dog, Miss Joke, Shindou, and Nakagame.
Tsukachi calls to Gentle, saying, "We're counting on you, Tobita," while La Brava cheers him passionately with, "Good luck, Gentle!!!!"
There's a flashback of the destruction of the Mikuzu Prison by the Tartarus escapees. Muscular announces to the villains that they are all free now, which makes the escapees think about how much evil they will cause now. But Gentle stands in their way and asks if they want to continue in the path of evil, remembering the words of the gorilla cop who told him that he could start over.
The villains attack Gentle, and he's afraid, but he remembers Deku, giving him the confidence to stand on his feet even if his eyes fill with tears. He fights the prisoners and stops them all from escaping.
The police arrive at the spot, and upon seeing Gentle's role in stopping the escapees, they ask him what he wants in return. He asks to meet with La Brava again. Their time away from each other has only caused their love to grow stronger.
The flashback ends, and back to the present, Gentle has used his Gentle Super Lover to hold the entire U.A. He thinks of Deku again and if he's still fighting to protect someone's smile. He also remembers the time when he failed to save a man who was falling off a building.
Mandalay informs everyone in U.A. that the fall is stopped by an air trampoline. Deku instantly realizes that it's Gentle.
Banjo suddenly appears and notifies Shigaraki is on the move again. When he moves his hand toward the ground, his hand is shot and torn apart by a bullet.
Chapter 378 then shows the rest of Tsukauchi's speech: "Even though they are villains, I chose to believe in something that exists deep in their heart. Their 'origin.'"
In the background of Tsukachi's speech, All Might leave with a mysterious suitcase.
The end of My Hero Academia Chapter 378 shows Lady Nagant at the top of a building far away, taking aim at U.A. with her gun.
The new chapter, i.e., My Hero Academia Chapter 378, is scheduled to be released on January 22, 2023. For fans who belong to different time zones, the following list might be helpful:

Enables the character to cook dishes of varying complexity with a degree of success determined by SL, and any talent he may have for it. The ability to cook should never be taken for granted; no one likes to trim the moldy rind off their cheese and chew old salted meat, dried fruit, and stale journey-bread all the time. This skill also includes making common snack-foods, refreshing summer drinks or warming winter toddies, common simple breads (batter-breads, muffins and biscuits, yeast and quick-breads), and familiar traditional cakes and pies. Brewing beer is a skill practiced by nearly every housewife, the staple drink in every commoner's household, though not to the extent that the character is able to distinguish himself as a professional Brewer, unless he pursues that specialty. Though the art of making sauces and gravies is practiced as a trade in its own right in the gameworld, it is included here in the character's Cook skill, anyway, though not to the extent that he is able to distinguish himself at it the same as a professional Saucer does, unless he pursues that specialty. The player must decide whether this skill was gained at home as part of a family tradition or personal character foible, or through some sort of apprenticeship, as a trade.
IF acquired by training at home, none of the specialty skills is available to the character, unless the parent should have happened to also be a Cook/Chef by trade.
If an apprenticeship is taken, and the player has the option of choosing the general Chef skill for the character, or one of the specialty skills such the Brewer, Vintner, Saucer, the Confectioner, or the Baker. The Brewer and Vintner specialties are fairly self-explanatory. The Confectioner specialty enables the character to make the grand dessert confections so loved by wealthy and noble feasters, fine, delicate pastries, sculptures of spun sugar, crystalized fruits, and enormous concoctions of fine cake, pastry, and candies to be paraded about the hall to delight the eyes as well as the taste buds, in addition to candies and other similar sweet bites. The Baker skill is required to make the finest breads and cakes, tortes, and soufflés and the sumptuous fillings, glazes and icings to go with them, special tarts, elaborate pies with light flaky crusts, and the like. The main distinction between Confectioners and Bakers is that Confectioners make fine, light pastries and sweet wafer treats, sculpting conceits of marzipan, and spun sugar, but don't make pies or filled cakes, and Bakers make the more common pies and don't make candies or candied garnishes or pastries/wafers or confection conceits. These can both be highly creative specialties, equivalent to taking the Artisan sub-skill under the Craftsman Trade. lf the character is a Craftsman-Artisan he is able to transfer that knowledge and skill to his effectiveness as a Confectioner, especially to his more fanciful holiday and special occasion creations.
The general Cook Petty Skill allows the character to practice any of these specialties except that of Vintner or Confectioner, but not to the standards expected of professionals, only to their own simple tastes, as more of a hobby.
At the player's option, any of these specialties taken in lieu of the general skill, in which case it should be listed under its own name, not under the name of Cook. Taking a specialty in this manner limits the character to making ONLY those sorts of foods or drink covered by that specialty. Whatever the player chooses, the character may not cross over into the other fields unless he engages in a new apprenticeship in a new specialty, or otherwise finds the means to learn.
The Cook skill also encompasses the basic knowledge of every housewife in the common activities of pickling, relishing, jellying and jamming favorite types of fruit and vegetables and also canning all manner of sauces and foods. The character is able to "can" or "put-up" as much as he can secure materials (heavy pottery or glass pots/jars) and facilities to handle. The character must have lids for each vessel, and requires 0.25 lb's of wax to seal each one. The containers used in canning should be no larger than 1 cup, 1 pint, or 1 quart in volume each. Once put up, the canned perishables can last (1 per 4 SL's) years before their shelf life comes into play and they begin to age and then go bad. Once the seal is broken on a canned perishable its shelf life again begins to pass normally. Perishables such as those resulting from the Alchemist's and Herbal's arts may be canned in this way, as well as food items.
The Cook's skill also includes the proper use and care of all the tools of his craft, how to keep knives sharper longer, keep them clean and oiled and rust-free, how to use and take care of a mortar and pestle, or a hand mill for grinding grain at home, and so on.
At the player's option, the Cook may pursue a Weapon skill with the knives he uses in pursuit of this skill as a sub-skill. This allows the Cook to use any of the Cutting or Chopping knives used in food preparation, including the Carving Knife, Butcher Knife and/or Cleaver, in the Melee with no SL bonus to start with but without any non-proficiency penalty either, due to his familiarity and facility with them, BUT this is only in regards to attacking. Until the character reaches SL1 with the knife Weapon skills. The Cutting Blades and Chopping Blades should be treated as separate skills for these purposes. By playing with them in idle moments the PC can choose to develop a skill in throwing them as an Open subskill, if desired, as well.
Further, the Cook's skills encompass the ability to salt, smoke or dry fish, meats, fruits, vegetables, and herbs for later use, in addition to the knowledge of skinning, cleaning, and the proper procedures of butchering, and dressing or trussing up animals from the carcass according to the needs for various dishes and types of cooking. It will also provide him with knowledge of the proper spices and herbs to buy or raise at home for use in his recipes for everyday, so the kitchen dooryard or courtyard can be duly ordered.
More importantly, this skill provides the character with some defense against the tricks used to cheat and pass bad stuffs for good at market when shopping for foodstuffs.
The costs for canning is 1 ha'penny per gill per pot/jar and 2 pence per jar for sealing waxes, plus the costs for whatever it is the character is canning (as applicable). The costs of the pots/jars is a one-time investment, after purchased they will only need to be replaced as broken, and the character will only have to pay for the wax, and perhaps the items to be canned.
When buying foodstuffs at market, especially when buying fresh produce, bread, meats, or any other foodstuffs, the Cook character is allowed an AWA check if he takes a moment to inspect and test the goods for quality and make sure he is not being taken advantage of by some Trickster, with a bonus based on his skill as a Cook or Chef.
The att. mod. to cook or clean an animal, or salt, cure, or put up jars of foodstuffs is based on the character's CRD score, but to butcher an animal it is based on his STR and CRD scores.
The DV's for cooking vary with the type of fare that the PC chooses to try to prepare.
The DV for jellying, jamming, relishing, smoking, salting, and drying foods to preserve them for later is 1 for every (CRD ÷ 4) pots of jam or pounds of meat being prepared.
Standard laborer's fare, or the sort of hot dishes that can be prepared from standard road rations will have DV's in the "Piece of Cake" category.
The sorts of foods that can be found on the average craftsman's dining table will have DV's in the "Easy" category.
More sumptuous fare can range in DV from 15 to as high as 40 or 50.
The Cook himself should be allowed to choose the DV category for the recipes he prepares.
The DV for executing any given dish should be raised by 1 per 4 people to be fed by it. Where more than one skilled Cook is working on the meal, the checks for the success of the dishes should be made by those in charge of each, as the head Cook allots them. The time required to prepare a dish or a meal can be reduced by the use of semi- or un-skilled scullery maids and lads to clean and stir and turn spits and other repetitive, non-critical tasks, especially pre-work such as peeling and chopping vegetables and fruits.
The maximum number of extra sets of (un-skilled) hands the Cook may employ and over-see at one time is equal to (number of dishes being prepared).
In addition, a Cook/Chef may have up to (1 per LoA) skilled Cooks working under him, to a maximum of (CHA ÷ 4), whose LoA's may not be higher than his own.
Under everyday circumstances when the character is making common fare, not going out of his way to impress anyone, whenever the AV is double the DV for a dish or more, or for the most difficult dish in an entire meal, the GM should just let him SL speak for itself, or let him slide with a single check for the entire meal. When the chips are down, as in a competition, or where his wares are to be for public sale or served to high-profile patron(s), especially for a special occasion or holiday, the GM should require a check for each dish.
The GM should see that the character who is serious about becoming a good cook collects, buys, and trades recipes and takes note of variants on standard recipes when travelling to other regions or foreign countries, he should consider granting a SP for each recipe the character collects, or especially for time spent interviewing other Cooks and swapping recipes with them, or eating out for the purpose of tasting the fare to determine if their cook has any knowledge he might benefit from. Recipes with DV's of 15 to 20 or greater should be of particular interest, and is the most complicated and expensive to prepare.
The base cost for the raw materials for preparing each dish should be determined by normal market price of meat portioned on the basis of roughly 1 lb. per male and 1/2 lb. per female diner to be served in either meat or fish, or divided between a course of each, plus an amount equal to the DV in farthings per four diners for sauces, vegetables and side dishes.
This may seem steep, but some recipes will call for such things as gold leaf decorations, and such expensive spices as saffron (l0d. to 20d. for 4 to 6 threads!), cloves, mace (for a half-pound, 1.5 x as expensive as a sheep), and pepper (4d. or more per ounce), and the people of the period DO like their spices.
Whether or not the meat portions is sufficient to sate the diners is determined by assessing the [(modified) STA) ÷ 3] of the diners and multiplying by 0.25 as done in Appendix D. for determining the cost of Road Rations, the result is the pounds, to be compared to what the Cook has prepared.
The average meal in the average freeman's house must consist of at least five different dishes, not including dessert. That is simply what the people of the medieval gameworld will expect. A fancy feast or banquet might consist of as many as 20 fancy dishes of various types. The usual fare in wealthier and especially noble homes will range somewhere in-between (10-15). Naturally, poorer folk is used to fewer, as few as two among the poorer serfs, probably a fair portion of vegetables and a bit of meat or fish usually about every other day to go with their bread and vegetables.
If there are to be a great number of dishes, it is assumed the diners is served far more than they actually need for dietary purposes, and in the wealthier houses it is assumed that every Good Wife will throw 5 to 10% of what was prepared out to the beggars at the gate, and most especially so in the noble houses who feel obliged to give 10-20% of the food prepared in alms at the gate for the poor.
In these cases, the base amount of food prepared is based not only on the STA of the diners, but also the household staff (though their fare is a great deal more simple, their meat NOT divided between multiple dishes or courses and their sauces and side-dishes coming to only 1hp. per 10 staff), and roughly 10-20% over what is needed is paid for and prepared, with maybe 5% held as leftovers for morning. Anything not eaten of it before the main (noon) meal is served would be thrown to the beggars.
The time required for preparing an entire meal is equal to the DV of the most complicated dish to be served, in mileways, plus the number of additional dishes to be served and plus (1 per 4) people to be served in minutes.
From this is subtracted the Cook's AV.
The time required to execute the recipes and menu the Cook character has laid out will then be divided by the (total number of LoA's) of the skilled Cooks working for him, as applicable.
From the result, the number of (unskilled) helpers he has working for him (as applicable) is subtracted, in minutes.

From a gentle piano sonata by Mozart to fresh coffee and "This Is For When" because Bauhaus.
There was no shade of a moving pen. In the silence nothing was moving. No lines connecting these letters formed words and sentences.
The state of the blank page remained as empty as dry acres before the rain season started. Nothing happened until a gust of wind moved some dust.
Not much longer after movement began, shadows entered from the sky. Shaped like clouds and white as ivory. Many white shapes added themselves and the sky became darker.
One drop became two. Two drops became four and an infinite amount of water fell, rained down on the dry soil. Pools of water accumulated and dust became mud.
Mud, the combination of semi-fluid water and dust softened the land. Infertile harsh earth welcomed life again with a gentle softness.
Looking at all this two eyes observed the change of seasons from a short distance. The wait was over. Showers of rain drops kept falling and a lone figure stood there.
Breathing in and breathing out a sign of life escaped as a sigh of relief followed. The moving chest quivered with every rain drop like dust softening in the heaving flood.
Each drop of water carried its own shadow. The return of life was producing a dance of shadows on once dry acres. As such a pen scribbled on a once blank page.
Indented, shapes, lines and scratches inhabited a sheet of paper after ink left a trace of life.

Molesters identified but not yet arrested
Pahela Baishakh ignominy at DU

The law enforcing agencies, after scrutinising the CCTV footages, have identified seven criminals who were involved in molesting women on the Dhaka University campus during Pahela Baishakh celebration on 14 April.
The members of the laws enforcing agencies, however, are yet to make any headway to nab the offenders although four days after the incident have passed .
A group of youths assaulted and sexually harassed some women at the Suhrawardy Udyan main gate near TSC of Dhaka University during the Bangla New Year celebrations on April 14.
According to police, about 100 CCTV cameras were installed in the area as part of their security detail. Some 19 cameras were installed around the Suhrawardy Udyan alone.
The CCTV footage that police released on Friday clearly shows multiple incidents of sexual assaults on women by five rowdy men during the Pahela Baishakh celebrations on the Dhaka University campus.
Meanwhile, police claim the footage does not show any evidence of sexual assault. Police are still trying to pass the occurrence of sexual assaults as common snatching incidents.
Officials of Shahbagh Police Station told the Daily Observer on Saturday that a group of snatchers were active on Dhaka University campus during Pahela Baishakh celebrations on Tuesday. However, police failed to arrest any snatcher from the area on that day.
The footage at 6:31:27pm shows a girl wearing a red dress is surrounded by a group of four to five youths so that she cannot move. The youths then start groping her. Within seconds, 10 to 15 more men encircled her, each trying to grab her. She is seen in the footage until 6:32:55pm, being assaulted all the while.
The two hours footage from two cameras that police gave to journalists paints a sordid picture.
The Daily Observer has been able to take from the footage at least 130 snaps that show several women being molested by certain groups of youths between 6:22pm and 7:19pm, according to the camera clock. Most of these youths were wearing panjabis.
It also shows a number of other women being pinched by some men, showing thumbs up sign apparently to someone not seen in the footage.
Following Tuesday's incident, the print and electronic media reported that a group of 30 to 40 men molested more than 20 women for over an hour. The footage obtained by this paper does not show this incident, but that is no proof that it did not happen because the footage are from the cameras that covered the footpaths along the Suhrawardy Udyan.
Dhaka Metropolitan Police (DMP) formed two separate probe committees to investigate into the sexual assault and molestation of several women during the Pahela Baishakh celebrations on the Dhaka University campus.
SM Jahangir Alam Sarker, Assistant Deputy Commissioner (Media), told journalists that a probe body comprising Additional Commissioner (Crimes and Operations) of Police, a Joint Commissioner and Deputy Commissioner (East) of Detective Branch of Police.
"Another committee, consisting of Additional Deputy Commissioner (ADC) and DC of Ramna Division, was formed to assist the other body in investigating the matter," he added.
Meanwhile, the High Court directed the Inspector General of Police and the DU Vice Chancellor to investigate the incident and submit separate reports by May 17.
The police said they were continuing the investigation, but the Dhaka University authorities till Saturday evening did not take any move to investigate the incident and identify the culprits.
Sub-Inspector of Shahabag Police Station Abul Kalam Azad filed a case in this connection under the Women and Children Repression Prevention Act 2002 (Amended 2003) on April 15.
Talking to reporters on Saturday, Joint Commissioner of DB Manirul Islam said those involved in the incident will be identified and then brought to book.

Harris County approves $15M Emergency Rental Assistance Program
ByMiya Shay
HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- For many renters, the start of the month is a sense of dread. Rent is due, and yet, they are out of work because of COVID-19.
So far, every major county in the Houston region has provided some rental assistance program, but the demand has usually far outstripped supply.
"The problem is the fees," said Lashelle Scott, a renter who is working, but not as much as she did before the pandemic. "When I catch up, it's the fees. Even when the third or fourth month hit, it's piling on."
Scott counts herself as lucky. She got some rental relief from the city of Houston's program a few months ago.
In addition, her apartment complex has been willing to work with her, allowing her to pay whenever she gets a paycheck.
For residents in Harris County who are still struggling with rent, more help is on the way.
The Harris County Commissioners Court approved a $15 million Emergency Rental Assistance Program to help serve low-income residents on Tuesday.
The $15 million program will be in addition to the $30 million in assistance already distributed.
Commissioners said this program comes after researchers estimated that the poverty rate would increase from 12.8 percent to 16.3 percent this year.
The Emergency Rental Assistance Program will provide a one time payment of $1,000 per household across all Harris County precincts to be used for rent and fee payments directly to landlords.
In addition, the Harris County Commissioners Court also unanimously voted in support of the COVID-19 Permanent Housing Initiative, which will bring together local organizations to house 5,000 people over two years.
The initiative will be funded by Harris County, the city of Houston and private philanthropy.
Commissioners have not yet announced how to apply for the additional help, but information should be coming in a few weeks.
In the meantime, the Houston Apartment Association has gathered a list of non-profits that are using private money to help renters. Calling each non-profit does take some work, but it's been helpful for many tenants.
"Montgomery County, Fort Bend County and Harris all have had rental assistance programs available," said Stephanie Graves of Q10 Properties, which owns a number of rental units in the greater Houston area. "They have been a lifeline for us, and we can't communicate enough that these resources are available."
Graves said what has worked best for her tenants, is an open line of communication.
They are happy to work with tenants on payment plans and offer rental assistance guidance.
"So, making payment plans. If you say, 'I can pay you $100 or $200,' most landlords are willing to work with you," Graves said.
All these resources are important because advocates are worried that evictions could skyrocket in the coming months.
"If a resident doesn't pay for several months, it's so hard to catch up," Graves said.
According to Texas Housers, a low income housing advocacy group, 518 evictions were filed across Harris County between June 23 and June 30th.
On average, around 5,700 evictions are filed every June in Harris County. In June of 2020, 2283 evictions were filed.

Below is a free excerpt of "Essay Juan" from Anti Essays, your source for free research papers, essays, and term paper examples.
Through the bildungsroman novel, "The Catcher in the Rye" written by J.D. Salinger, and the 2002 film, "Igby Goes Down" directed by Burr Steers, each composer examines their respective contextual society's emphasis on conformity (or non-conformity) of youth. As Steer's film is an appropriation of Salinger's text, very similar themes and opinions are presented; however they are affected by both context and medium in the way each is conveyed. Despite each text's contextual differences, each composer's purpose remains the same; to convey the positive and negative aspects of non-conformism through their individual protagonists, Holden Caulfield and Jason Igby Slocumb Jr., on the mental and physical health of general contemporary youth.
The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger and Igby Goes Down by Burr Steers are both displayed as rites of passage texts. Both composers' present the notion of non-conformity. Salinger and Steers express how individuals are pressured to conform to society's values and beliefs. The two protagonists are anti–heroes and demonstrate non-conformity; they rebel against the apparent hypocrisy present in their respective societies. Salinger and Steers portray the ideals of non-conformity through symbols, appearance, actions and society's conventional expectations in the respective texts to demonstrate rejection to society's values and beliefs.
a journey of self discovery in which they both attempt to find the meaning in life and understand societies values and attitudes.

Everything Wrong with Your Novel in 15 Minutes
Jul 13, 2018 | Editing	| 0 comments |
If you're an author or screenwriter and you've never watched the YouTube series "Everything Wrong with…" by CinemaSins, then I have homework for you.
Scan their offerings, find their review of a movie you loved, and then watch every minute of it.
It's become a tradition for me and my husband after work. He switches on YouTube while we putter around the kitchen to make dinner.
"Oh, look!" he says. "Everything Wrong with Ender's Game!"
I groan loudly. "Come on, I loved that one! I waited YEARS for a film adaptation and was actually happy with it!"
He chuckles and hits play.
As always, the narrator fast-talks through sin after sin, and I have to give it to him:
"Okay. Well, he's got a point there. Yeah, I kind of thought that was too convenient. Well, crap."
By the end, I'm shaking my head and wondering why these gaping loopholes and logical inconsistencies weren't caught WAY before the producers spent $115 million. (Or before the book was published, in some cases.)
Producers, if you're reading: HIRE THESE GUYS. Hire them the minute you decide to move on a script or concept and before you spend another penny. Let them rip the script to shreds and help you put it back together in a more believable and satisfying way.
To be sure, when the acting or production quality is high, we may not even notice some of the biggest sins. How many times has Fast and Furious jumped the shark? Yet each sequel still draws an audience.
But type "movie bombs" in the YouTube search box and you'll be treated to a parade of failures—many of which could have been prevented by a good script critique early on.
Who's going to trash your book—and when?
Now, what about your book?
Who besides you has read it? Your mom? Your best friend? A writing buddy or professor?
Your book might be just fine, and your family and friends might be excellent beta readers who give you quality feedback. But they might also be Catelyn Stark staring in silence as her sister breastfeeds her six-year-old son in public1:
"What is she doing? Doesn't she realize he should have been weaned long ago? Somebody should say something…but I sure don't want to take a dive through the Moon Door…"
Painful as it's likely to be, you really need someone like the CinemaSins crew to tear your manuscript up—because if they don't, your audience most certainly will. And those Amazon and Goodreads reviews never go away.
What you need is a good developmental editor (DE), and the earlier, the better. Ideally, you'll find someone who can help ensure it's believably crafted from the beginning.
Bringing a developmental editor in at the beginning may spare you major revisions or, worse, complete rejection.
Author: "I want to write a novel about a girl and a vampire boy who fall in love. There will be all sorts of dramatic tension because he can't even hold her hand without wanting to drink her blood!"
DE: "Stephenie Meyer already did that one. And the vampire thing has been done a lot now—Barnes & Noble actually has a whole section devoted to paranormal romance."
Author: "Doesn't that mean it's hot, and readers want more of it?"
DE: "Could be. But how will your vampire love story be different from Twilight? Or Vampire Diaries? Or Vampire Academy?"
Author: "Um…"
The DE can help the author brainstorm ways to make his or her vampire vision unique so that readers won't feel they're just reading Twilight fan fiction. At this juncture, the DE acts as writing coach and even collaborator.
Most often, however, an author presents a completed draft for critique. Those days or weeks between submission and feedback can be excruciating for you. An honest voice inside you might be saying, "Make it better, but make it better by leaving it alone!"
When the file comes back with comments filling the margins, however tactful, your inner Lysa Arryn might rise up and shout for the guards to toss your editor through the Moon Door.
It's only natural. Betsy Lerner, who has spent her career as an acquisitions editor and agent, has also experienced this process as an author. After delivering her manuscript to a DE, "I was a mess, every fingernail shredded, my face a splotch of anxiety."2
One would think that her first draft would be perfect as-is. After all, it was a book about publishing, and she's an expert. She's also been a DE herself, so surely she'd know how to avoid the pitfalls.
Alas, it was not so: "When her notes came," Lerner writes, "they blew my mind and not in a good way."
The editor basically told her she needed to rewrite the whole book with a more positive attitude. It didn't matter that Lerner had delivered such advice to countless others: when it applied to her own work, she felt that every criticism implied hatred.
After some reflection, however, she realized the editor was right. She wound up rewriting the book and being much happier with the result.
"Love hurts," Lerner concludes.
But once the author and editor get on the same wavelength, the collaboration can be beautiful.
As Lerner writes earlier in her chapter, "There is no greater feeling for me than when a writer takes my notes, then ups the ante, making the passage or paragraph not just better but brilliant. Author and editor form a mutual appreciation society. The author feels inspired and inspires in return. . . .it's a love fest."
So thicken up your skin by watching CinemaSins videos. Eat some chocolate, drink a glass of wine, and then open the file your DE just sent back.
It'll be okay. It'll be better than okay. This is your chance to purge the book's sins before loosing it on the world.

A decade of horizontal deformation from great earthquakes
Tregoning, P and Burgette, R and McClusky, SC and Lejeune, S and Watson, CS and McQueen, H, A decade of horizontal deformation from great earthquakes, Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth, 118, (5) pp. 2371-2381. ISSN 2169-9313 (2013) [Refereed Article]
The 21st Century has seen the occurrence of 17 great earthquakes (Mw>8), including some of the largest earthquakes ever recorded. Numerical modeling of the earthquakes shows that nearly half of the Earth's surface has undergone horizontal coseismic deformation >1 mm, with the 2004 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake dominating the global deformation field. This has important implications for both the realization of a terrestrial reference frame and in the interpretation of regional tectonic studies based on GPS velocities. We show that far-field coseismic deformations from great earthquakes will, if unaccounted for, introduce errors in estimates of linear site velocities of at least 0.1-0.3 mm/yr across most of the surface of the Earth. The accumulated global deformation field shows that two regions, Australia and the north Atlantic/Arctic Ocean, have been largely undeformed by these great earthquakes, with accumulated deformations generally <0.5 mm. Using GPS estimates of surface deformation, we show that the majority of the Australian continent is deforming at <0.2 mm/yr, the northern part of New Zealand is rotating clockwise relative to the Australian Plate with relative horizontal velocities of 2 mm/yr, while the southeastern coast of Australia is undergoing post-seismic relaxation caused by the 2004 Mw = 8.1 Macquarie Ridge earthquake. The presence of ongoing post-seismic relaxation thousands of kilometers from plate margins violates the secular/linear assumption made in current terrestrial reference frame definitions. These effects have significant ramifications for regional tectonic interpretations and global studies such as sea level rise that require reference frame accuracy greater than this level.

We evaluated the changes in the bird community in relation to six disturbance treatments in the William B. Bankhead National Forest, AL. The study design is randomized complete block with a factorial arrangement of three thinning levels [no thin, 11 m²/ha residual basal area (BA), and 17 m²/ha residual BA] and two burn treatments (burn and no burn), with three replications. We collected data from pre- and post-treatment avian line-transect surveys. We found that the silvicultural treatments appear to create habitat for early successional bird species.

Director James Wan's ("Saw", "Insidious") new horror film "The Conjuring" that is allegedly based on true events stars Patrick Wilson and Vera Farmiga as a pair of paranormal investigators who are hired by a couple who has recently moved into a farm house with their children that seems haunted. The pair is based on the Perron family, who claim to have experienced a terrifying haunting during the 1970s.
General Release Date: 01 Aug 2013
Genre: Thriller / Horror
Distributor: WARNER BROS. PICTURES
Cast: Patrick Wilson, Vera Farmiga, Ron Livingston, Lili Taylor
Writer: Jillian Cheong
Writer Ratings:
Overall: 4.0 Out of 5

Plot: 4.0 Out of 5

Cinematography: 3.5 Out of 5
Watch this if you liked: "Insidious"
Be prepared to be scared out of your wits as we delve into the lives of Ed and Lorraine Warren, a couple who are also paranormal investigators. Based on a true story, the couple is best known for their involvement with The Amityville Horror case, until now, as another one of their cases, as seen in "The Conjuring", is unlocked.
The film which is set in the early 70's, where bell bottoms are the "in" trend, shows us that paranormal investigation has long been an interest of the citizens of America. The couple are somewhat of celebrities who give small scale lectures in various cities in the United States to share their insights on their most popular investigations. With each lecture, the couple never fails to intrigue and interest the crowd, considering the amount of raised hands.
But the main focus of the film centres on the hauntings of the Perron family as they move into their new countryside farmhouse in Harrisville. The roles have turned this time around, Patrick Wilson who plays the role of Ed Warren is no longer the prey of being demonically possessed as previously seen in "Insidious", but instead performs paranormal investigations.
Malaysian-born director James Wan, who is widely known for his "Saw" franchise, really steps up his game in the horror genre with this film as he successfully captures the essence of the true story to be made into this spine-chilling movie. The shaky camera scenes accompanied with the exaggerated zooms really makes the audience feel that they are one with the film. Wan's take on the horror film is rather different to the usual built-up suspense scenes that we are accustomed to, as they are more of in-your-face kind of scare scenes. What you see is what you get.
After watching so many horror films, most of us should have learnt by now to always do thorough research before moving into a house as you wouldn't want you or your family to be caught in the midst of a demonic presence. Leaving the theatre, the reviewer felt pretty shaken up from the movie but still very much impressed with the film. This comes to show that even a Malaysian is capable of producing such a good horror film as it had such an effect on the audience based on the OMG's and screams heard throughout the movie.

Various business and general aviation shows are springing up in China as ABACE itself returns again after a four-year break. In two weeks' time the annual Hainan Rendezvous takes place in the Sanya Island holiday resort, at the southern tip of Hainan Island. China's largest yacht show is also emerging as a major regional gathering for the business jet industry. Located at Sanya Phoenix International Airport, which has been operated by the Hainan Airlines Group since 2002, the business jet exhibition is an invitation-only component of the yacht show.
This year's gathering also features a gallery of fine artworks by famous international and domestic artists. Magda Danysz, director of the Galerie Magda Danysz in Paris and 18 Gallery in Shanghai is curating the exhibition, which features works by local artists Liu Dao, Maleonn, Yang Yongliang and a Picasso.
In September the Chinese International Business Aviation Show (CIBAS) takes place in Beijing. The first edition of the show took place here at Shanghai's Hongqaio Airport last April and drew more than 100 exhibitors from all over the world, as well as some 5,000 visitors. This time there will also be conference sessions organized in conjunction with the Civil Aviation Resource Net of China.
Other shows promoting regional business and general aviation are the China General Aviation Investing Summit, which will take place in Shanghai in May. September may well see another GA forum organized by the China Aircraft Owners and Pilots' Association.
The Zhuhai Airshow in November takes place in the heart of a business aviation hub, and in 2010 played host to China's first GA summit. Meanwhile, Asian Aerospace, set to take place in March next year, has run the Asian Business Aviation conference three times now and traditionally attracts several bizjets to its dedicated static display at the Hong Kong Business Aviation Centre.

What strikes me about this quote is how far from the modern observation it is. We have civilized the world around us, moved to the cities, and sit insulated. We can still see and find our natures but not with the same pace and time for observation that David Hume employed. Notice the universal in the first few words, "Everyone has observed...".

Then down Princes Avenue at night; rainy swish of time-passing cars. Soggy allée lined axon, fortified by myelin sheath-like Victorian terraced houses; relinquished buds of merchant profiteering. Their antics were the very creations of this direct (and contradictory) flow; from colonised sea to city centre (extracted labour) to its domesticated park (bestowed morals). Scarred pavements jump up and trip.
Now only weed-like communities inevitably emerge among relics of capital.
A universally sight; such severed genealogical memories surely offer borrowed stages for adaptive reuse and un-self conscious constructions.
But rather than attempting, or being allowed to produce newer semi-independent forms of dendrites many houses get gutted out, boarded up, split down and merely re-placed by orderly dwellings of humdrum ambitions. All in the currently impossible hope of regenerating this old hierarchical flow of creative destructive dependence, ironically through the cultural tourism trade.
Ok, maybe that's a bit too harsh an observation, and an altogether common one for a common reality, it's definitely trying too hard to sound lyrical.... It's been two years and this is a reason why I'm back-not to see friends, I had none-but the Biennial, as planned in my previous journal, a self fulfilling future now present and ready for re-scripting in an unchanged stage.
Instead I imagine giving a speech about the city, in a recorded interview about my past. I've won an art prize of sorts. I don't know what for (this is something I'm allowed to overlook) but it takes place in this city, which explains why I'm giving the speech.
One time a child asked me if I liked surprises, before his friend jumped out from behind this abandoned fence. Shock and surprise may be what punctuates memory but the laughter which followed is more possibly re-experienced in the present, even if its power lessens over revisits. I think of that huge puppet which walked through the city, dragging carnivalesque masses with it. Of unearthing an amateur playground constructed from tarpaulin and swelled bricks. Of past public art works greeted with polite indifference and the unveiling of the new city museum on the docks, which initially seemed like a bite-sized collection of the surrounding museums for lazy tourists. Now it tells local stories too. Of coming back this way from Kavanagh's drizzly drunk.
A pack of young laas (lads) linger between flickering ambers at the junction I must cross. I feel a waft of danger whizz past my head.
They are hurling mud rocks at me.
In Cairns street I witnessed spouts of outdoor plant pots guarding self-satisfied residents, which years later I discover was not quite 'weed-like' but part of Assemble's community prize-winning project.
And whilst this similarly occupied my own interests then (I dreamt of a night fest/street disco. With glow-in-the-dark paint on boarded windows and drug/candy stalls in each front garden, highlighting passers-by and put-out police). I still preferred those alien walks. Tumbleweed clearing the mind, under rubble forlorn and a twitching curtain.


A statutory demand is a useful way to pressure a company to pay its debts. However, a creditor using a statutory demand to quickly recover a debt can run into trouble if the legal requirements for service of the statutory demand are not complied with.
In this article we set out how to properly serve a statutory demand and avoid some common problems which can arise.
Issuing a statutory demand is a quick and inexpensive way of recovering money owed by corporate debtors.
A creditor can make a statutory demand for payment of a debt as long as there is a debt which is due and payable. The debt also needs to be at least $2000.
Companies which are served with a statutory demand have 21 days to either pay the money owed or to make an application to set aside the statutory demand. If a debtor company fails to comply with a statutory demand or have the demand set aside, a presumption can be made that the debtor company is insolvent and an application made by the creditor to have the debtor company wound up.
The Corporations Act 2001 (Cth) sets out the procedure that must be followed when serving a statutory demand. The procedure can be complicated.
If a statutory demand is not properly served a court may find that the service was invalid and set aside the statutory demand.
Under the Corporations Act, all companies must register their office address with ASIC and keep those registered details up to date. A creditor can serve a statutory demand by leaving it at the registered office of the debtor company, sending it by post to that office or delivering a copy of the demand personally to a directory of the company who resides in Australia.
You cannot serve a Statutory Demand on a foreign company as separate procedures are in place to wind up foreign companies.
Under the Commonwealth Evidence Act, a postal article sent by prepaid post to a person at a specified address in Australia is presumed to have been received 4 business days after postage. That timeframe can be accelerated by serving a statutory demand by express post, where the date of delivery can be tracked and proven by Australia Post's tracking system.
A major problem for creditors regarding statutory demands is that if the debtor argues that there is a "genuine dispute" about the debt owed, the statutory demand will be set aside by the court. If the statutory demand is set aside, the creditor may be made to pay costs for the day in court, and this can be very costly. A "genuine dispute" is a criterion that can be fairly easy to meet, so creditors need to make sure that there is no reason to dispute the debt owed.
keeping contemporaneous records of the details of service (something which is made easier if registered post is used).
Where a creditor becomes aware that the company no longer occupies the registered address and the creditor is aware of the new address, then he or she should bring the demand to the notice of the company at that new address.
If the creditor is aware that the company no longer occupies the registered address but does not know where the company has moved, then it is prudent to serve the statutory demand on the company's director.
There is a strict procedure with respect to the service of a statutory demand.
A failure to properly issue a demand can be expensive and a statutory demand may not be enforceable if it is not served in accordance with the relevant procedure.
Debtor companies regularly claim that they did not receive the statutory demand on the day it was served. As such, it is advisable that a statutory demand be served on a company by being personally delivered to the registered offices of the company.

What is an expense? Definition and meaning
An expense or expenditure is a cost during a specific accounting period that occurs as a business' or organization's operating activities. It is the amount of money that any entity has to spend on something.
In everyday English, the term refers to an outflow of money from a party to pay for a good or service, or for a category of cost. For a student tuition is an expense, for a tenant it is the rent.
Expenses are costs that are remitted or paid, typically in exchange for something of value. A high-expense good or service is 'expensive', while one that costs little is 'inexpensive'.
According to most tax authorities, a business expense has to be both necessary and ordinary. Ordinary means it is common or accepted in that sector, while necessary means it was needed or helpful in pursuit of making sales, i.e. earning income.
Expense: an outflow of money
Some of the likely expenses for an airline may include: the cost of tickets sold, commissions earned by travel agents, airport fees, rent for checking-in space at airports, the cost of utilities at its offices, money it spent on advertising, wages and salaries, the purchase of aircraft, the maintenance of its airplanes, etc.
Accounting Coach says that accountants and bookkeepers, under the accrual method of accounting, report expenses on the income statement for the accounting period when: 1. the cost is used up or expires, 2. the cost best matches the associated revenues, or 3. there is difficulty or uncertainty in measuring the future benefit.
For example, in an airline's income statement for the month of March, it should report the cost of the tickets that were sold in that month – March – regardless of when cash was paid.
In double-entry bookkeeping, expenses are recorded as a debit to an income statement account (expense account), and a credit to either an asset account or a liability account – the balance sheet accounts. An expense increases liabilities and decreases assets.
Like bananas and fruits, all expenses are costs, but not all costs are expenses.
There are two main expense classifications:
Operating Expense: sometimes abbreviated as OPEX, these are the expenses an organization or business incurs through its normal business operations including marketing, payroll, research and development, inventory costs, equipment, insurance and rent.
Non-operating Expense: expenses that are not related to a business' core operations, including amortization, and the costs of borrowing such as interest charges. Some accountants may remove non-operating expenses and non-operating revenues when they or the management want to examine the company's performance excluding the effects of financing.
Expense in a cash flow statement
In a cash flow statement, expenses are divided into:
– Operating Expense such as salaries
– Financing expense, interest expense for bonds and loans
– Capital Expenditure such as buying machinery and equipment
A major issue in accounting is whether specific expenditures should be classified as expenses – which one is reported straight away on the company's income statement – or a capital expenditure, or a cost that is subject to depreciation, which is not an expense.
In accrual-basis accounting, these latter types of expenditures are posted as expenses when they are depreciated. The majority of large businesses use accrual-basis accounting. In accrual-basis accounting, expenses are matched with related incomes and/or are reported when the expenditure occurs, and not when the money is paid.
"Gain may be temporary and uncertain; but ever while you live, expense is constant and certain: and it is easier to build two chimneys than to keep one in fuel," (Benjamin Franklin, 1706-1790 – on of the Founding Fathers of the United States) (Image: cmuse.org)
What is an expense report?
An expense report is a document in which all the expenses that a person has incurred as a result of a business operation are included.
For example, if you go on a business trip abroad for a meeting, the cost of the flight, hotel, meals, taxis and other local transport costs, plus all other business-trip-related expenses that you have incurred will be added to the expenses report.
These expenses are tax deductible because they are considered business expenses.
Many companies benefit from automated expense reports systems for expenditure management. These software solutions can reduce the incidence of errors, fraud, and save a lot of valuable time.
All expenses are costs but not all costs are expenses, especially those incurred in acquisition of income generating assets.
In November 2015, twenty-nine journalists took the European Parliament to court in the hope of making MEP's (Members of the European Parliament's) expenses more transparent. MEPs' pay and expenses total over €474m each year, they claimed.
According to BusinessDictionary.com, an expense is:
"Money spent or cost incurred in an organization's efforts to generate revenue, representing the cost of doing business."
"Expenses may be in the form of actual cash payments (such as wages and salaries), a computed expired portion (depreciation) of an asset, or an amount taken out of earnings (such as bad debts)."
Expense as a verb
The term may also be used as a verb – however, it is not common. It can mean to offset as in offsetting an item of expenditure as an expense against taxable income:
"Up to $10,000 in capital expenditures can be expensed in the year they were incurred."
It can also be used as a verb when meaning to pay for something in a certain way:
"I can expense the meal we had."
At the expense of: can mean that somebody or something will suffer as a consequence of something, for example:
"Those jokes were said at the expense of John's happiness," (although the jokes were funny, John's happiness suffered – he was a victim).
All-expenses-paid: this is a common expression, and is commonly used for a vacation to somewhere nice, as in:
"We won an all-expenses-paid weekend in London."
Etymologists (people who study the origin of words) say the modern English word first appeared in Late Middle English. It came from Anglo-Norman French in an altered form of Old French espense 'money provided for expenses', which originated from Late Latin expensa (pecunia) '(money) spent', which came from expendere 'to pay out'.

Why bother with a logo?
I have experienced businesses that will spend thousands on magnificent office desks and furnishings yet use a logo that someone just threw together at the last moment for free. While comfort in the office space is important, a company's logo is seen by many more people and is the representation of the company. I don't pretend to think that a well designed logo is all a company requires to drive business, but in today's competitive market a unique brand goes a long way to separate a company from its competition.
A well constructed logo provides a valuable first impression and is a result of a good concept and good execution. It is a solid piece that serves as an important part of the branding experience. The logo developed for Bois D'Arc Leadership was created to communicate the idea that leadership development is a step by step process. Bois D'Arc trees are very sturdy and hardy. They weather difficult times. There was thought given to the name, the logo deserved the same careful thought to illustrate the business philosophy and strategy.
Typically, when you see an effective logo it is tempting to think it's small, it's simple, it's easy to do. What you are seeing in the final logo is a culmination of calculated steps designed to provide a strong, lasting visual image that is flexible, memorable, timeless and meets the needs of the client. The creation of a logo begins with creative briefs and research, there are then initial sketches and concepts, reflection and evaluation, revisions and that is all prior to the client seeing anything. Once ideas are presented there is more evaluation and possible revisions, color exploration and suggestions. When the final logo is selected you should have a strong visual symbol that will work well with or without color and at any size.
