Accounting Fundamentals I & II were very informative classes for me. The instructor was great as well. She helped me understand accounting concepts that a 1000-paged textbook could not make clear for me. I would definitely recommend this class to anyone who is beginning the study of accounting.
I had just finished Accounting Fundamentals I when I started Accounting Fundamentals II, and I thought this class was the perfect next step. It built on the first class but didn't jump too far ahead, so I always felt comfortable with the new lessons even though it was all still new to me. I think the instructor has a very good lesson plan here and I would certainly take any other courses she offers.
I just want to thank y'all for six great weeks. I am a new American just here a few months from Canada and have learned so much about the USA accounting system. This course was great, as was part one. You are a wonderful instructor Charlene and I must say I am enjoying learning online. I hope I see a few classmates in other online courses.
I took a college Accounting course in 1983, and I took it again in 1999. I got nothing out of either of those courses. But now that I have taken your two courses, I can honestly say a light bulb has just come on......I understand the concept now. Thank you for making this seem easy. My husband owns a small business and I have tried to learn how to do the books, but have struggled. I have taken Quickbooks I and II. I should have enrolled in your courses first. I have downloaded every course I have enrolled in, now I can go back and refresh my knowledge.
Thank you for your help with accounting. I have taken both of your courses and I enjoyed then both very much. I will definitely use what I have learned from you not only for work but througout my lifetime. Thank you.
This course and part one has taught me more info then I think I learned in a two semester course at college. Charlene Messier is a great teacher. I will be taking other online courses because the educational experience was enjoyable.
I wish there were more levels of this course, but I am planning on starting my bachelor's degree in accounting at Columbus State University this summer. Thank you, Ms. Messier, for building upon the knowledge of Accounting Fundamentals. I felt more experienced with this course because it picks up where Accouting Fundamentals left off. I am going to use Accounting Fundamentals and Accounting Fundamentals II as a stepping to improve my career and my education. Before I took these courses I did not have any experience with accoutning. Two courses later and with my job, I am much more experienced.
Just completed the course and I must say that it was very informative and once again excellently done. As a business owner and the CFO of said business, taking Accounting Fundamentals and Accounting Fundamentals II has helped me run my business more efficently. Thanks to Ms. Messier's well put together online instructional methods and course materials I now have better understanding of the financial aspects of the business and I do not have to rely on our accountants as much.
I just took Accounting Fundamentals and found the lessons to be very easy to follow. It can be difficult teaching complicated topics that require a lot of forms, such as accounting, let alone in this type of format, but you somehow made it very easy! I have taken classes before that were made much more complicated than they needed to be, as a student this is very frustrating. I appreciate you taking the time to teach these classes and making the concepts easy to understand. You are a wonderful teacher. Looking forward to digging deeper into accounting.
I took Ms. Messier's first course and learned a lot as well as thoroughly enjoyed the format. My success on this pretest is directly related to her instruction, as my pretest for the first course had a very different outcome.
In this lesson, you will learn all about accounts payable. You will be journalizing and posting your company's purchases and preparing a Schedule of Accounts Payable. This lesson will give you the tools you need to successfully track those accounts.
In this lesson you will take a close look at accounts receivable. After completing this lesson, you will know how to enter charge sales into your Sales Journal and then post them to your General Ledger. You will have also learned how to journalize payments on account received from your charge customers.
In this lesson you will learn about uncollectible accounts receivable. While many believe customers will always pay what they owe, that is not always the case. You will learn how to account for long overdue receivables that probably won't ever be paid.
In this lesson, you will learn about plant assets and depreciation. Just like your car, business assets depreciate over time, so you will need to know how to account for that expense in your records. And you will need to record these assets and calculate their depreciation in a timely manner.
This lesson is all about notes payable and notes receivable. You will learn all you need to know about accounting for these situations as you learn how to record the issuance and payment of these notes payables and notes receivables.
In this lesson, you will learn how to deal with accrued income and accrued expenses. Accrued income is money that the company earns in one fiscal period but doesn't receive until after another fiscal period begins.
In this lesson, you will be dealing with dividends, which is money paid to the company's stockholders on their investment. You will learn how the business accounts for the dividends it pays to its stockholders. You will also look at retained earnings, or the amount of profit the corporation retains for future use.
In this lesson you will determine if your business has a net income or a net loss by completing the worksheet started in the previous lesson. And because many General Ledger accounts change throughout the fiscal period—you will need to bring these accounts up to date.
It's time to begin wrapping up your books for the end of the fiscal period. In this lesson, you will learn how to compile most of the various financial reports a corporation needs to complete at the end of the fiscal period.
In this lesson, you will get the books all caught up and ready for the next fiscal period. You will go back and journalize those adjusting entries you entered into your worksheet, then you will enter closing entries into your journal.
This lesson covers every employee's favorite subject: Payroll. You will learn about various mandatory and voluntary deductions from employees' pay, as well as how to journalize and post an entire payroll. As an added bonus, after this lesson, you will be able to check the accuracy of your own paycheck.
The final lesson focuses on preparing a variety of end-of-year tax reports. Here's your chance to go step-by-step through a multitude of IRS forms with instructions that are much easier to understand. You will fill out the federal Form 941, then learn how to make federal income tax deposits.

Your Boss Is Not Your Friend
Today's informal offices confuse the boundaries of boss-employee relationships
For years Kyle's boss treated him like a friend, almost like family. Jokes were exchanged over Gchat, weekend drinks scheduled via text messages; in their four-year relationship, no personal topic was off-limits. So when the time came for the 23-year-old to give notice to his 27-year-old boss, the COO of a San Francisco startup, it was one of the most difficult moments of his life.
"Looking back, I would change all the personal stuff that I shared with my boss," says Kyle, who suffered through months of awkward and sometimes tense discussions with his former boss, who was eager for him to stay. "At times we were so close that I didn't know if he was speaking to me as the boss or as my friend, and it got to a point where they mixed together."
He is not alone. In offices across the country, a recalibration in the boss-employee relationship is taking place. Part of it has to do with the way offices are now structured — both physically and symbolically. The rigid office hierarchies of the Mad Men era have been replaced by open floor plans and a more casual egalitarianism. Corporate America's strict adherence to titles is now often frowned upon, and in some instances replaced by whimsical stand-ins. Service technicians at Apple retail stores are known as "geniuses"; receptionists at Houghton Mifflin are "directors of first impressions."
In this new culture, ideas are more easily exchanged, creativity can thrive and it's a more fun way to spend your day. But for young professionals like Kyle, the shift to a more casual workplace can create confusion in their work relationships, most notably with their bosses. Further blurring those boundaries are the inter-office communication platforms — like Slack, Campfire and Flowdoc — each of which have their own protocols, and most of which promote casual and fluid banter.
"There is no question that the way we communicate now — mainly through technology — has changed office culture. It has created a more informal joking communication between colleagues, and to some extent between bosses and employees," says Hilary Pearl, who is founding partner of Pearl Associates, an executive coaching and organizational consulting firm. "It used to be a phone call. Now it's Slack or Google Chat. There is more shorthand messaging; more acceptance of jokey, teasey informality."
This trend towards more casual boss/employee relations is part of a larger transformation of the workplace. Companies in competitive industries are now judged by their cultures and their ability to offer environments where an employee's "work self" is interchangeable with his or her "personal self." Casual dress and demeanor reign; leisure activities, even while on the clock, are widely accepted. Stuffy formality is to be avoided at all costs.
But this new informality presents its own set of challenges. For employees like Kyle, who are just starting their careers, establishing boundaries between work and personal life is crucial. For managers, there are many new challenges. "I honestly wouldn't mind if some of our communication went back to being more formal," says Chuck Murphy, president of the L.A.-based market research firm Murphy Research. "These digital communications have created a ton of new problems, and it has become a lot more complicated because the barriers have broken down. It can be really tricky." Part of the problem, according to Murphy, is that younger employees often don't view programs like Slack as an official work communication platform. As a result, an increasing amount of his time is eaten up addressing infractions caused by ill-advised digital communications.
It can also lead to legal problems. According to a recent survey, one in three women say they have been sexually harassed at work; this new form of harassment often comes in the form of a tawdry text, a sexually suggestive link or a raunchy instant message. While not all sexual harassment claims arise from the boss-employee relationship, a boss's management style often sets the standard for the rest of the office. "People get really confused about what their relationship is supposed to be with their boss and their colleagues," says Donna Ballman, a Florida-based labor attorney who specializes in discrimination and sexual harassment cases. Ballman says almost every discrimination case she is working on was either initiated by or includes some form of digital communication. "Your primary purpose at work is to make your boss look good. But what happens with the various forms of communication is people let their guard down, they get overly familiar with their boss and they slip into the same habits that they have with their friends," says Ballman.
Many startups don't have human resources departments to help police and resolve these issues. In those cases, Pearl urges her clients to write an employee instructional handbook that lays out proper office etiquette and standardized rules that apply to the bosses on down. "It is all cultural, and that starts from the top."
As for Kyle, he ultimately ended up on good terms with his former boss, as well as learning a valuable lesson: understanding the nuances, or, as he put it, having an ear for the varied tones of the workplace. "You have to understand which tone you are hearing (from your boss). Is it the comforting friendship tone? Or is it the work tone, where you've just got to get shit done?"

Nomadism in Iran
From Antiquity to the Modern Era
D.T. Potts
A completely new approach to nomadism in Iran, one which rejects the identification of nomads in the archaeological record of the Neolithic and Bronze Age (c. 8000-1200 BC)
Emphasizes the fundamental changes brought about by major influxes of nomads from outside the region, beginning in the 11th century
Assembles a wealth of material in several languages and disciplines
The classic images of Iranian nomads in circulation today and in years past suggest that Western awareness of nomadism is a phenomenon of considerable antiquity. Though nomadism has certainly been a key feature of Iranian history, it has not been in the way most modern archaeologists have envisaged it. Nomadism in Iran recasts our understanding of this "timeless" tradition.
Far from constituting a natural adaptation on the Iranian Plateau, nomadism is a comparatively late introduction, which can only be understood within the context of certain political circumstances. Since the early Holocene, most, if not all, agricultural communities in Iran had kept herds of sheep and goat, but the communities themselves were sedentary: only a few of their members were required to move with the herds seasonally. Though the arrival of Iranian speaking groups, attested in written sources beginning in the time of Herodutus, began to change the demography of the plateau, it wasn't until later in the eleventh century that an influx of Turkic speaking Oghuz nomadic groups--"true" nomads of the steppe--began the modification of the demography of the Iranian Plateau that accelerated with the Mongol conquest. The massive, unprecedented violence of this invasion effected the widespread distribution of largely Turkic-speaking nomadic groups across Iran. Thus, what has been interpreted in the past as an enduring pattern of nomadic land use is, by archaeological standards, very recent. Iran's demographic profile since the eleventh century AD, and more particularly in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, has been used by some scholars as a proxy for ancient social organization. Nomadism in Iran argues that this modernist perspective distorts the historical reality of the land. Assembling a wealth of material in several languages and disciplines, Nomadism in Iran will be invaluable to archaeologists, anthropologists, and historians of the Middle East and Central Asia.

Appendix 1. The Position of Nomadism on the Social Evolutionary Ladder
D. T. Potts is Professor of Ancient Near Eastern Archaeology at the Institute for the Study of the Ancient World, New York University.
"Potts has written a sweeping ouvrage on the involvement and influence of nomads, semi-nomads, and tribes in shaping Iran's past and present." --Journal of the American Oriental Society
"Nomadism in Iran stands as a magisterial synthesis of the role of nomadism from Iran's pre-history through the 20th century. Based upon critical and exhaustive reading of material and textual evidence, this path-breaking book challenges our thinking as it clearly narrates and analyzes the fundamental changes in nomadism over the course of that long history." --G. R. Garthwaite, Dartmouth College
"Daniel Potts has produced a masterly history of nomadism in Iran since prehistoric times. His demolition of archaeological orthodoxies is impressive: in particular, he shows that nomadism came to Iran millennia later than supposed, and that reconstructing ancient nomadic societies by extrapolating from recent ethnographic studies is methodologically invalid and highly misleading." --Richard Tapper, SOAS, University of London

I thought A Series of Unfortunate Events was streaming on Netflix. Instead, Lemony Snicket seems to have taken up residence with the other Los Angeles NBA team.
Los Angeles Clippers point guard Chris Paul will miss 6-8 weeks after surgery for a torn thumb ligament that was incurred during the Los Angeles Clippers' thrashing of the Oklahoma City Thunder on Monday night. Lest we forget, Blake Griffin has been out with his seemingly annual significant injury, though he's expected back soon.
The sad part about this is, head coach and general manager Doc Rivers will use this injury-ridden season as yet another excuse to NOT blow up the Paul/Griffin/DeAndre Jordan core. Once again, he will cite the snakebitten nature of this team and rationalize that surely, the Basketball Gods will smile on him and the Clippers someday and take them past the second round in the NBA playoffs. Because: karma.
And if they don't make it? See above.
Rivers will continue to cling to the delusion that injuries, not plateaued talent, are at the root of the Clip's tendency to get bounced early from the playoffs. Despite his earlier assertion that teams sometimes lose their mojo after playing together for a long time, which is when it's necessary to shake things up and break up the team, Rivers refuses to entertain the notion that maybe he should be listening to some trade offers.
Of course, Rivers has conveniently forgotten his earlier considerations as he continues to keep the current iteration of the Clippers together with chewing gum and duct tape–and questionable GM decisions.
The team blowup theory apparently applies to other teams, not the Clippers.
Delusion is a hell of a drug.
It's been way past time for the Clippers to get a full-body makeover. I had high hopes that when Jordan made his ill-fated move to the Dallas Mavericks (and subsequently left them at the altar) in the summer of 2015, it was going to finally happen.
Unfortunately, when your dual-roled front office leader tries to give a facial in the guise of the full-body job (Exhibit A: a first-round pick in exchange for Jeff Green), well…the results look like what the Clips have been doing for the last few years: one step forward, two steps back.
Griffin and Paul (as well as three-point sniper J.J. Redick) are set to become unrestricted free agents this summer. While they can both make a lot more money by staying with the Clips (and Clippers owner Steve Ballmer certainly isn't shy when it comes to paying to retain his key players), keeping them all on the team may cost each of them a legitimate quest for a NBA championship. Not for Paul's lack of trying, though.
Rivers and the Clippers are stuck between the proverbial rock and a hard place. In a sense, they are in a similar boat as the Sacramento Kings: other than their franchise players, the cupboard is bare. They don't have anything to offer anyone beyond the talented players that have kept them relevant. The paradox is that if they do give up these players, the value of the franchise plummets as many free agents and/or veterans tend to be reluctant to join teams that are branded with the dreaded "R" word: rebuild.
Rivers shares something else with Kings owner Vivek Ranadivé: a desperate Pollyanna-esque view that their respective teams are thisclose to the next-level respectability they crave, and they just have to hold on for a little while longer. For Rivers, it's getting at least to the Western Conference Finals. For Ranadivé, it's getting to the playoffs, period, for the first time in 10 years (and counting).
Of course, the Clippers and the Kings are welcome to saddle themselves with maxed-out player contracts (Paul, Griffin, and Sacramento's Cousins all qualify for the new CBA's revamped Designated Veteran Player rule, since all are 1) pending unrestricted free agents; 2) NBA All-Stars; and 3) have made All-NBA teams. In Paul and Griffin's cases, they have each also won an league-wide award as Rookie of the Year).
A bird (or two) in the hand, right?
Keeping the family together is noble, but doing so would further hamstring any efforts to improve in a sustained direction. Children whose parents have divorced often say that they were relieved when their parents finally split, as things were worse when they were together–even if they tried to stick it out for the kids' sake.
It's a messed-up situation, any way you slice it.
At least Ranadivé has a pending reality check: selling premium tickets at the newly constructed Golden1 Arena. He is a businessman, full stop. Despite his attachment to Cousins (for whatever reason), eventually the team's losing ways and their impact on the team's bottom line will cause him to snap himself out of his lovefest and do what's best for the franchise's future. Hopefully, that will come before they ink Cousins to a max contract, but don't hold your breath.
Perhaps Rivers, alas, is still hung up on his glory days coaching the 2008 championship Boston Celtics. Perhaps he is unconsciously trying to recreate the Big Three + 1 (Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce, Ray Allen, Rajon Rondo –> Paul, Griffin, Jordan, Redick); indeed, he did bring Pierce back on board.
Too bad The Truth ain't dispensing some truth to his coach. Championships give you a greater carte blanche to speak freely.
Whatever the case, Rivers' reality check is going to be longer in coming. Like an addict, the Rivers-run Clippers have yet to hit rock bottom; until that happens, they will continue to be the bridesmaids, with bridal rights a long way off.

Utilizing a 'coach approach' with oneself and others enables quicker and more effective progress towards goals. This book identifies the crucial coaching qualities and actions to increase motivation, engagement, and performance. Through exercises and examples, I demonstrate how to ask compelling questions, how to create effective action by constructing SMART goals, and how to hold yourself and others accountable. Additionally, I show how presence and attitude, active listening, compelling questions, setting goals and accountabilities, and encouragement and feedback will help you coach others. Drawing from neuroscience, case studies and personal experience, you will learn how to use these specific techniques to create more fulfilling relationships and results. The Concise Coaching Handbook ends ends with three brief case studies of for-profit and non-profit organizations who have committed to creating a 'coaching culture' and the benefits they've received.
In my book I also recommend using guided meditations to reduce stress. Here's one I recorded that you can listen to anytime for a quick pick-me-up. My clients have told me they feel calmer, clearer, and more able to deal with what life throws at them. Everyone deserves and needs at least 5 minutes of calm every day!

The Tarawera Ultra-Marathon, one of the most prestigious ultra trail in New Zealand, was held this weekend in Rotura, among all the other races, the ultramarathong 102k/D+3089) was the second race of the Ultra Trail World Tour 2019, following the Vibram Honk Kong 100 with Reece Ewards and Courtney Dauwalter as winners.
Next stop will be in spanish territory with The Transgrancanaria.
TARAWERA ULTRAMARATHON 2019 (102K/D+3089M): RACE REPORT
Australian Reece Edwards made quite the trail running debut today, surging over the closing stages to take out the Tarawera Ultra 102km race from last year's runner-up Cody Reed (USA) and Harry Jones (GBR), while in the women's race it was one of the established international superstars in Courtney Dauwalter (USA) who came out on top of a star-studded field.
The 102km race set off at 6am in perfect weather conditions from Firmin Field in the central North Island town of Kawarau, with 463 participants lining up for the incredible journey to the finish line at the Rotorua Events Centre, taking in a combination of trails and forestry roads through native bush, conifer forest, farmland, parkland and stunning thermal landscapes.
Just months after posting an impressive 2:16 in Chicago in his first marathon, 28-year-old Edwards added a Tarawera title to his already burgeoning CV, winning in 8:22:51. It was the American Reed who led throughout the early stages however, with a chasing pack of Edwards, David Byrne, Jones and Charlie Ware never more than a few kilometres behind.
It was well inside the final 20 kilometres when Edwards made his move, first to catch and then to gap a tiring Reed, and while he may hail from Canberra in Australia, Edwards turned to a famous old New Zealand phrase from sporting folklore to describe how he was feeling upon crossing the line. "I am buggered, absolutely cooked, that is by far the hardest thing I have ever done, compared to a marathon that was a wild, wild day, it really was," said an elated Edwards.
"I was happy with the pace early on, but I tried to run from 40 to about 65km as cruisy as I could. I just couldn't keep up with Cody, my technical skills just weren't there and if I tried to follow him, I was rolling my ankles." "I decided to just chill and then when I was really suffering at about 70km I heard splits on the course, and I was only four minutes down. I thought I have been walking for ten minutes and he is only four minutes up! That is when the mentality changed, and it was all on again."

Edwards didn't look back upon taking the lead at the Blue Lake aid station with 14km left to run, eventually winning by just under seven minutes, and admits he may have to change his upcoming race plans given the effort taken to win today.
"I am due to run a marathon in four weeks in Japan and attempt to lower my PB and get a world championship qualifying time, but I really don't know what I will be doing now." Reed showed incredible resolve to hold on to repeat his 2018 runner up finish, edging Harry Jones by under a minute after, a tiny margin on the back of the 102km distance. Despite his disappointment and having emptied the tank, Reed indicated he was up for a third tilt at the iconic event in 2020.
"I was planning on returning next year to run the 100 Miler, but first I have to win the 102k before making that step up," said Reed. "I think the heat got to me today in the last 20 miles, they were like the hardest final 20 miles I have ever had, it was rough."
In the women's race, Courtney Dauwalter (USA) arrived at Tarawera Ultra as one of the more celebrated Ultrarunners to ever to grace the event, and she lived up to that billing with a start to finish win over debutant Stephanie Auston (AUS), and Angelique Plaire (New Caledonia). The Colorado (Boulder) athlete was delighted to win a race in such world class company and admitted to never feeling comfortable until the finish line was in sight. "It was so cool to be out on those trails with that group of women and athletes, I was running scared. I really did not think I had it won until I got to the finish line." "I definitely took in the view, that was a priority, the scenery was so green and beautiful, and the lakes were incredible."
Dauwalter maintained a steady rhythm throughout, pacing herself superbly through the varied terrain. "I was trying to stay constant, I was slowing on the climbs but trying to keep pushing. There was a tricky technical part between the third and fourth aid stations I think, with tree roots, that was hard to move quickly through there."
The American posted stellar results in 2018, including victories at Western States 100 and Ultra Trail Mt Fuji 100, and won the Moab 240-mile Endurance event in 2017, and was able to enjoy the final few kilometres into the heart of Rotorua today.
"I did enjoy that final run to the line, just knowing that I am back home, and it was nearly time to celebrate and hear stories from other people about their day."
33-year-old Dauwalter (she celebrates a birthday on February 13) has travelled the world, winning many of the great Ultrarun events, but didn't hesitate when asked what it was beyond the incredible scenery that makes Tarawera Ultra Marathon so special. "The community, all week long, all the events that bring us together, you get to meet so many people, that makes it so special."
The winners were greeted with a stirring haka as they crossed the line, underlining the strong relationships with local Iwi and the wider community in an event that celebrated every finisher, some running and walking long into the night before they too enjoyed the delights of the finish line with family, friends and supporters.

TARAWERA ULTRA-MARATHON: IRONMAN ACQUIRED TARAWERA ULTRA-MARATHON
IRONMAN, a Wanda Sports Holdings Company, has announced the acquisition of Tarawera Ultra-Marathon, one of the iconic Trail Running races based in the landscapes of Rotorua and the surrounding region. In its eleventh year, the Tarawera Ultra-Marathon is established as one of New Zealand's and the world's most popular and prestigious trail running events, with over 2000 runners expected for the February 6 to 10 event this year and that takes part of the Ultra Trail World Tour (it will be the second of the races after the Vibram Hong Kong 100).
"We are excited at the opportunity for further growth and development of the Tarawera Ultra under the guidance of the team at IRONMAN," said Paul Charteris, owner and founder of Tarawera Ultra-Marathon. "I am so proud of what the event has become in the past 11 years. The event started as a dream when I was running around in the Sierra Nevada mountains of California, home to the Western States Endurance Run. That dream became a reality when I returned to New Zealand in 2008."
Both Charteris and Race Director Tim Day will stay on with the event, continuing to deliver a world class experience with the guidance and support of the IRONMAN team.
"For the past 11 years, the Tarawera Ultra has led the way in New Zealand and globally. It has become one of the most prestigious and popular trail running events in the world. What I am most proud of is the community of people this event has helped grow. We've been part of the journey of people's lives," Charteris continued.
One of the keys to that success and the potential for future growth is the event's location, in the heart of the central North Island. Tarawera is considered the birthplace of tourism in New Zealand and for over 150 years, visitors have been drawn to the natural beauty of the area. Today, Rotorua plays host to more than four million visitors each year.
"Just as the run is woven into the hillsides, forests and around the lakes of this volcanic landscape, the culture of the people of Te Arawa are woven into the event," said Charteris. "The run takes place in an area of significant spiritual value to the people of Te Arawa and the organisers fully acknowledge that the ability to run the event in such a location as a privilege."
IRONMAN Oceania Managing Director Dave Beeche is delighted to have added such a prestigious event to the portfolio. "Paul, Tim and the team have done a wonderful job over these past 10 years delivering an event of high quality on some amazing and inspiring trails through the Rotorua heartland. We are honoured to now take up the challenge of further growing and nurturing the event on those same values."
"The Tarawera has been built on a love for the customers, looking after them and fostering a close-knit trail running community. The values of the Tarawera are customer centric, with a focus on delivering a welcoming and friendly event, something that we aspire to in all our events," Beeche added. "We can't wait to work closely with Paul, Tim and team to take the Tarawera Ultra to an even larger and more globally diverse audience."

All change for UK VAT Groups?
By Susan Cattell, Head of Tax Technical Policy
Call for evidence on potential changes to UK VAT Grouping rules
Covers three areas: establishment, compulsory VAT grouping and eligibility
ICAS will be responding and welcomes members' views
Susan Cattell outlines HM Treasury's call for evidence on potential changes to the UK VAT Grouping rules – one proposal under consideration would involve compulsory VAT grouping.
HM Treasury has issued a call for evidence on VAT Grouping - Establishment, Eligibility and Registration. The intention is to gather information and views on the current UK rules and views on the approach adopted by other jurisdictions. Responses will inform future policy direction. The introduction notes that the purpose of VAT grouping is to allow administrative efficiency for companies under the same ultimate ownership: VAT savings are not the purpose of VAT grouping but are sometimes a consequence of it.
Some of the potential changes discussed would be significant, so this is an opportunity to ensure that the Treasury has all the relevant evidence.
VAT grouping and establishment provisions
The UK adopts a 'whole establishment' approach to VAT grouping. This means that all 'fixed establishments' (or 'branches') of the eligible person, whether in the UK or abroad, are considered to be part of a single eligible person. By contrast it is common for other jurisdictions to use an 'establishment only' approach – where an entity has fixed establishments in multiple jurisdictions, it is only establishments in the country in which the VAT group is based that can be part of that VAT group.
If the UK switched to 'establishment only' rules, only UK fixed establishments of foreign companies could be within a UK VAT group; the overseas headquarters of a foreign company would be ineligible to be in the UK VAT group and supplies from headquarters to branch or branch to headquarters would be subject to VAT.
The Treasury would like evidence about the advantages of the current 'whole establishment' approach and the potential impacts (positive and negative) of switching to an 'establishment only' regime.
Whilst the UK operates a 'whole establishment' approach, there are exceptions in certain circumstances - introduced following the CJEU judgment in the Skandia case and effective from 1 January 2016. The call for evidence notes that the new Skandia rules imposed an administrative burden on some businesses and asks whether they should be retained or reversed – and about the impact of any further changes in this area.
Compulsory VAT grouping
VAT grouping is currently optional in the UK for entities which meet the relevant control and establishment conditions. This allows businesses under common control to choose to form a VAT group if it would be commercially advantageous for them to do so. If a VAT group is put in place there is no obligation to include all eligible members of the corporate group.
In some other jurisdictions VAT grouping is compulsory for specific sectors. This can offer administrative easements and level the playing field for businesses, which would then be subject to the same VAT treatment. There are also some jurisdictions where VAT grouping is optional but if it is adopted for one entity, all related entities which meet the relevant conditions must also be part of the same VAT group – an 'all in or all out' model.
The Treasury would like evidence on the benefits and disadvantages which could arise from introducing a compulsory VAT grouping system in the UK and whether these would vary for different sectors. It also requests examples of businesses which are not VAT grouped for commercial or regulatory reasons.
Eligibility criteria: partnerships
UK legislation does not currently permit entities such as limited partnerships (LPs) and Scottish limited partnerships (SLPs) to join VAT groups. However, HMRC offers an extra-statutory concession allowing these entities to join where certain conditions are met. The concession is long-standing but the appropriateness of using a non-statutory basis is under consideration.
Legislative changes in 2019 mean that Scottish partnerships and general partnerships can join VAT groups, where they control all other members of the group.
Evidence is requested on various issues relating to the use of partnerships in VAT groups and on whether the current approach should be changed.
ICAS welcomes your input
ICAS will be responding to the call for evidence. Please send us your feedback and comments by emailing tax@icas.com.

Maciej Obara – review 07.12.2011
Vortex, London, John Fordham, guardian.co.uk, Wednesday 7 December 2011 18.57 GMT
Born out of struggles with reactionary communist bureaucrats, torn between yearnings for the west and the sounds of its own culture, 20th-century Polish jazz displayed character, originality, erudition and subversive wit – and the country produced giants such as trumpeter Tomasz Stanko, not to mention Roman Polanski's legendary movie-score composer Krzysztof Komeda.
A mini-festival of contemporary Polish jazz, run over the last few days by arts promoters Deconstruction Project, brought the story up to date, introducing some seditious jazz stars of the 21st century, such as pianist Marcin Masecki, synth-accordionist Piotr Kurek and the gifted alto saxophonist Maciej Obara, whose reputation is spreading fast (he's already booked for the London jazz festival next year).
At the festival's opening show, which took place at Hackney's Vortex club, Obara played a long set with a powerful trio that included the pianist Dominik Wania. A compact, barrel-chested young man, weaving and crouching, Obara displayed an inventiveness and stamina that reminded me of the veteran improv master Lee Konitz. Wania, too, is a real find – a superb improviser with the confidence to toy with an audience's patience. His spacey, tentative opening contributions built up to tumbling melody and muscular chordwork.
The set contained episodes of laid-back swing, free-jazz shufflings, hints of Latin groove and of Ornette Coleman-like freebop. Close to the finale, Wania launched into an unaccompanied solo of jarring contrapuntal lines that were eventually underpinned by a walking bass hook. Obara's is by inclination a free-jazz group, but it's one with discipline and a sense of narrative shape – and it set the young audience smiling. British listeners will be hearing a lot more.

Film Review: Saturday's Defensive Standouts
October 17, 2018 WMUCSports	Leave a comment
By: Eric Myers
Maryland's defense came into Saturday's game against Rutgers with a decided advantage on the stat sheet, as the Scarlet Knights' offense has struggled moving the ball and retaining possession all season.
The Terrapins defense still needed strong performances from their key contributors, especially in the first half without their leading tackler Tre Watson, whose second-half targeting penalty against Michigan kept him out of the lineup, to ensure they did not overlook Rutgers.
Darnell Savage, Antoine Brooks Jr. and Byron Cowart led the way for the Maryland defense, who held Rutgers to seven points and 179 yards in the game, 92 of which came in the fourth quarter when a number of second-string players were on the field with Maryland's 34-0 lead.
Darnell Savage:
Pro Football Focus College named Darnell Savage to their All-Defensive team for the week and he received their highest grade among any defensive player in the country. Savage did this despite not registering a tackle on the stat sheet because of his sound pass coverage, and the senior safety ended up with two of the team's five interceptions.
Interception on a wheel route:
On this third-and-8 play, Savage lined up in the box, traditionally where a linebacker is. In an obvious passing down, Savage is a good fit to be in this position as his range allows him to get to where he needs to be in pass coverage.
On this particular play, Savage dropped back to outside the hash in zone coverage. Rutgers' play was designed to draw the cornerback to the inside of the field to clear out the edge and leave a wheel route to the running back available. But Savage's eventual positioning was right where he needed to be to take the play away by either making a play on the ball or laying a big hit.
Interception after undercutting a route:
Savage is playing a similar area of the field as his first interception, but this time coming from his usual alignment at safety. The Rutgers' tight end and wide receiver ended their routes very close to one another on the play, giving a two Maryland defenders a chance to intercept the pass. After the ball sailed just beyond the reach of Nnambi Egbuaba, Savage undercut the receiver and collected his second takeaway of the game.
Byron Cowart:
The transfer from Auburn had the breakout game of his career on Saturday, totaling three tackles, two tackles for a loss, one sack and one interception.
Cowart also had two other tackles for a loss, but due to personal foul penalties, one of which was a horse-collar penalty by Cowart on a sack, neither counted. Nevertheless, the former No. 1 recruit in the country had an imposing presence in the game.
Cowart sack:
Cowart lined up across from the left tackle, but directed his rush to the interior of the line as Brooks Jr. blitzed off the edge and was taken on by the tackle. Cowart was then one-on-one with the left guard on his quest to take down the quarterback.
Using a stutter step to the outside shoulder of the guard, Cowart left the lineman off balance and on his heels. Next came a quick move to the inside coupled with a swim move to neutralize the lineman's unsuccessful last-ditch effort to deter his path to the passer. From there, it was just a matter of time until Cowart registered his third sack of the season.
Cowart tackle for a loss:
Cowart's sack left Rutgers with a third-and-22 and on the very next play, and the senior defensive lineman made another stop for a loss.
Rutgers ran the ball inside on third-and-long, hoping to either gain yards to improve field positioning before a punt or catch the Maryland defense anticipating the pass. Cowart wasn't fooled by the play and made the tackle.
Even after the sack, Cowart wasn't solely intent on getting after the quarterback and used his increasing football IQ to notice what the Scarlet Knights were trying to do. So he cut inside the block of the offensive tackle and took down the ball carrier.
Antoine Brooks Jr.
Before the snap, Brooks Jr. can often be found roaming around the defense on the line of scrimmage. Sometimes he drops back in coverage and sometimes he attacks and wreaks havoc in the backfield. Although listed as a defensive back, Brooks Jr. leads the team in tackles for a loss with 6.5 on the season. Brooks Jr. was once again disruptive at the point of attack against Rutgers for the Maryland defense.
Cowart interception:
Cowart ends up snatching the ball out of the air for his first career interception, but it was the play by Brooks that made all of that possible.
Lined up just outside the right tackle, Brooks broke toward the quarterback immediately after the snap. Just before his pursuit of the quarterback was about to culminate in a sack, Brooks noticed that a pass was about to be thrown to the running back on a swing route. The junior defensive back timed his leap exactly right and tipped the ball high into the air.
Brooks tackle for a loss:
Just before the snap, Brooks slid down from covering the slot to lining up just off the end of the line of scrimmage. Rutgers didn't notice Brooks lining up off the edge and the play was run right to his side. Unblocked off the edge, Brooks was right in position to make the stop for a one-yard loss.
Brooks tackle for no gain:
This play didn't result in a tackle for loss, as the ball carrier made it back to the line of scrimmage, but Brooks' play ensured that the running back didn't make it past the first level. On the run play to the right side, Brooks shot the gap on the left side opened up by the Rutgers' down blocking. His furious backside pursuit led him to make a diving tackle at the ankles of the back.

Oláh Ferenc (Obláth Ferenc, Óbecse, 1887. április 12. – Szeged, 1939. április 24.) magyar színész.

Élete

Óbecsén született, ahol édesapja takarékpénztári igazgatóként dolgozott. Oláh Ferenc 1905-ben tett érettségi vizsgát a szegedi állami felsőkereskedelmi iskolában, ezt követően a Kereskedelmi Múzeum szófiai kirendelségéhez utazott. Hamarosan azonban áttért a kereskedelmiről a színi pályára és beiratkozott Országos Színészegyesület színésziskolájába, majd ennek elvégzése után Bécsben és Münchenben járt tanulmányúton. Miután hazatért, Szegeden Makó Lajos társulatához szerződött. 1908. szeptember 15-én lépett színpadra, a Szókimondó asszonyságban Neiperg grófot játszotta. 1911-ig színészkedett, eközben 1909–10-ben a 46. gyalogezrednél szolgált önkéntesként. Ezután 1911–12-ben Palágyi Lajoshoz ment Miskolcra, majd 1912–13-ban Mezei Kálmánnál szerepelt. 1914-ben Észak-magyarországi színikerülethez került, az első világháborúban a fronton teljesített szolgálatot mint tartalékos főhadnagy. 1918–19-ben Debrecenben, 1919 és 1924 között Kolozsváron Janovics Jenőnél, majd 1924-től 1936-ig Szegeden játszott.

Irodalmi téren is működött, cikkei az Ellenzék és Keleti Ujság című kolozsvári napilapokban jelentek meg. A kolozsvári Haladás írói Szövetkezet titkára volt, amelyből később megalakult a Szépművészeti céh. Irodalomtörténeti kutatásokat is végzett.

The Dualistic Exalted characters never encountered the Dimensional Auditors directly – and speculated about just what they were up to (attempting to stabilize the various dimensions, preventing dimensional travel, attempting to monopolize dimensional travel, involved in some cosmic war, etc, etc, etc) – but the results were fairly obvious: get mildly disruptive and you could expect a few minor Auditorial Constructs to start poking around and trying to patch things up. Cause major disturbances and gross disruptions of the local reality, and you could expect a killer swarm to try to exterminate you and cover up the disruptions you were causing.
Abilities: Athletics 1, Awareness 1, Stealth 1, and Thrown 1.
Tetrahedrons, scuttling on their lower corners, are the most fragile, foolish, and lowest-powered of all the Auditor's constructs. They're also by far the easiest to spawn, so they still see plenty of use.
Abilities: Athletics 2, Awareness 2, Climb 2, Stealth 2, and Thrown 2.
Health Levels: 6x -0, Disrupted. 6B/3L Soak.
Special Powers; Armor-3, Ion Blast (6L), Paralysis Ray (D4 Sta + End, lose one action per point by which it's missed), Plasma Blast (4L area of effect flame attack).
Cubes, leaping from point to point on blasts of air, are probably the most common auditorial construct. They're quite effective against normals, and are pretty good against more powerful opponents if the area isn't too open to let them work together.
Abilities: Athletics 3, Awareness 3, Dodge 3, Engineering 3, Stealth 3, and Thrown 3.
Health Levels: 8x -0, Disrupted. 8B/5L Soak.
Special Powers; Armor-4, Force Field Generation (may create barriers equivalent to wood for 2 health levels, fire force-bolts or blades for 8B or 8L, and manipulate objects at short range even without hands), slow levitation or rapid movement on force-legs.
The quick and adaptable Octahedrons are sent in if something needs to be blocked off or when swift maneuvering is vital. They're most commonly deployed as a group of four, but two full groups of four may be used on urgent missions.
Abilities: Athletics 4, Awareness 4, Dodge 4, Larceny 4, Melee 4, Presence 4, and Stealth 4.
Special Powers; Armor-6, Strikes for 12L at ranges of up to ten feet, immune to light-based effects, sees in full spectral range, gains a +3 bonus on stealth checks in dim light or water.
These deadly crystal constructs strike by extruding crystal blades and move about by extending long spikes and then "flowing" along them. Fortunately they require so much power to spawn that they're pretty rare. More that two or three at a time is almost unheard-of.
Abilities: Athletics 5, Awareness 5, Bureaucracy 5, Craft 5, Occult 5, Presence 5, Stealth 5, and Thrown 5.
Special Powers; Armor-10, 21-Point Essence Pool, may extend fractal energy tendrils to manipulate small objects, Dimensional Cannon (20B damage to target or 15B to an area, but takes 3 rounds to charge), Flight.
The deadly d20's possess considerable offensive and defensive power, but their true might lies in their ability to evaluate situations, manipulate energies, and command other forces. Fortunately for everyone, they require an immense amount if power to spawn. Even the most apocalyptic missions rarely justify the use of two Icosahedrons. Note that they normally use the Advanced Thaumaturgy rules in conjunction with their essence pool and occult skill, and thus can produce a wide variety of relatively weak effects.
OK, now you can use all those other dice for something while playing a White Wolf Storyteller System game: they make perfect markers for the enemy – and, since they all have the same number of health levels as sides, you can simply use the numbers on them to track their remaining health levels.

TEA and AECOM's definitive global attraction attendance report illustrates 2021's road to recovery and highlights regional resiliency and ingenuity
Theme parks, water parks and museums continued to be impacted by external factors throughout 2021, but many operators found ways to capitalize on pent-up demand as visitor numbers improved
TEA/AECOM 2021 Theme Index and Museum Index - cover
2021 showed that the leisure industry is resilient in the face of adversity.
BURBANK, Calif. (PRWEB) October 14, 2022
2021 marked a year of recovery for global attractions, as theme parks, water parks, and museums continued to adapt to challenges driven by the pandemic. Despite the ongoing impacts of COVID, successful vaccine rollout, easing capacity restrictions and simplified travel in most parts of the world translated to increased visitor numbers nearly across the board. Though some consumers still avoided large group settings – particularly at indoor venues – the market returned to a relatively successful "bounce-back" year with expectations for increased performance in 2022.
The details of this "road to recovery" can be found in the 2021 TEA/AECOM Theme Index and Museum Index, the definitive resource of attendance information on the world's most-visited theme parks, water parks, and museums, now in its 16th annual edition. This annual, calendar-year study is produced in collaboration with the Themed Entertainment Association (TEA) and the Economics practice at AECOM. The new, 2021 edition was officially released on October 14, 2022. This report and all prior editions back to 2006 are available to download in full, free of charge from the TEA website and AECOM website.
"The TEA/AECOM Theme Index and Museum Index is an annual guidepost for the global leisure industry," said TEA International Board President Chuck Fawcett of Medici XD. "Developers and decision-makers around the world regularly turn to the TEA/AECOM Theme Index for key information and statistics on theme parks, water parks, and museums. TEA values its continuing partnership with AECOM and the ability to provide this valuable resource to our business community."
The 2021 TEA/AECOM Theme Index and Museum Index studies the sector by region - The Americas, Asia-Pacific, Europe, Middle East & Africa (EMEA), in addition to the global market as a whole and top operators. The report charts and discusses the continued effects of the pandemic on the industry in 2021 and the subsequent signs of recovery and heightened innovation taking place.
"2021 showed that the leisure industry is resilient in the face of adversity," said John Robinett, senior vice president of AECOM's Economics + Advisory practice. "Pent-up demand is driving a return to leisure destinations. Impressively, some operators saw an increase in per capita spending and revenues that approached 2019 levels.
"If we look at the five-year average prior to COVID (2015-2019) and compare it to numbers from 2021 we see that in many parts of the world we are already approaching those historic levels. We are seeing even more improvement in attendance in 2022 in nearly every region and parks are already responding by investing in new attractions for 2023 and beyond, which is truly the sign of a healthy industry."
THE AMERICAS - THEME PARKS AND WATER PARKS
Among theme parks and water parks, North America outperformed every other market thanks in part to reduced government restrictions and a slowdown of COVID variants during the critical summer season. For theme parks, this resulted in a 136% increase over 2020. Waterparks performed even better, achieving a 177% increase over 2020. The region's concentration of top parks in Florida operated with few government restrictions, though they saw a slower return of international visitors throughout the year.
"Theme parks and waterparks were eager to welcome back guests, many with self-imposed capacity restrictions and other measures to inspire guest confidence," said Francisco Refuerzo, an economist with AECOM. "As the year progressed, many major theme park operators and big chains—including Disney, Universal, Six Flags, Cedar Fair and SeaWorld—continued to increase capital expenditures and announced projects for 2022, 2023, and beyond."
ASIA-PACIFIC - THEME PARKS AND WATER PARKS
The Asia-Pacific region saw a 29% increase in theme park attendance; water parks saw only an 8% boost over 2020. Most of the challenges came from China's strict COVID protocols restricting travel and mandating quarantines. Though other parks in the region fared better, much of the region's tourism depends on Chinese visitors. Given China's continued focus on its Zero COVID policy in 2022, this region is expected to continue on a slower recovery pace than elsewhere in the world.
"Parks in the Asia-Pacific region utilized various methods to help attract local residents through their gates including discounted tickets, new season pass programs, and exclusive events," said Beth Chang, the executive director of AECOM's Economics practice for its Asia-Pacific region. "Reinvestment strategies are continuing into 2022, which is a good indicator of future growth. Additionally, we are starting to see expected industry consolidation as the market matures, particularly in China."
EUROPE, MIDDLE EAST & AFRICA (EMEA) - THEME PARKS AND WATER PARKS
In the EMEA region, total attendance increased 63% for the top theme parks and increased 24% for the top water parks. Major causes included a lack of international visitors and the prevalence of indoor water parks in Europe. Parks catering mostly to regional markets saw better results than those relying more on tourism. Impressively, Merlin Entertainments, an operator with parks and attractions around the world, reported 2021 revenues that were higher than 2019 figures for some of its properties, pointing to increased per capita spending and underlying demand for a return to leisure venues.
"We are seeing green roots of recovery for the EMEA region," said Jodie Lock, associate director of economic development with AECOM's London office. "The United Kingdom performed especially well since many of its parks already draw from a local market. Expo 2020 Dubai successfully attracted millions to the Middle East during 2021 and 2022. This tourism boost is likely to positively impact figures for parks in this region in years to come."
The indoor nature of most museums around the world is one reason collective attendance at the top 20 museums worldwide was up only 32% compared to 2020, with 2021 levels still only at approximately 29 percent of 2019 pre-pandemic attendance numbers. Facilities with outdoor exhibits, such as sculpture gardens, fared better.
Museums in the US returned more quickly to blockbuster touring exhibits, which correlated to better attendance. Museums in major tourism markets, including Washington DC and in Europe, tended to fare worse due to the decrease in international tourism.
A pivot to online programming helped museums remain connected to visitors, schools, and, importantly, donors.
"The lack of school tour groups negatively impacted many facilities in 2021, but museums have been successful in continuing outreach to their communities throughout the pandemic," said Linda Cheu, vice president with AECOM's Economics + Advisory practice. "Already we are seeing positive benefits of this work as groups return to museums in 2022. The continued investment in special exhibits and unique events will continue to drive attendance increases for the museum market. There were also many museum openings around the world in 2021 despite the pandemic."

The Statistical Institute of Belize released their findings in the Consumer Price Index, External Trade and life expectancy rates in a press conference this morning in Belize City.
And while the outlook is not good for Belizeans, the institute reported a steady increase of 1.6 percent for the Month of May compared to last year's indicators. The single largest contributor to the increase were higher transport costs followed by housing, water, gas, food and insurance premiums.
Outside of food and energy, there were widespread price pressures as well. Airline tickets were on average 24 percent higher than in May 2013. Prices in home rental also showed an increase of 1.5 percent compared to last year. Utilities such as water tariffs showed a rise roughly by 7 percent. Electricity showed a decrease from last year at 8 percent, this was due to the new tariff that came in effect this year.
As we all know, the Belizean dollar is mostly affected when it comes to purchasing food supplies. The institute recorded that higher vegetable process were again the main cause in the increase of food prices.
Items such as red and black beans, cabbages, carrots, potatoes were at an all-time high. Belizeans are certainly feeling the rising effects of the cost of living and yet with the increases, salaries and wages remain the same. Despite the rising trend Prime Minister Dean Barrow claims that all is 'honky dory' in Belize.
The SIB report also shows that figures for the External Trade in May reveal that Belize imported $194.8 Million dollars' worth of goods, an increase of $31.7 million or 19.5 percent over May of last year. For perspective, this puts the value of imports for the first five months of the year at $800 million, which represents an increase of roughly $54 million over the same period in 2013.
And increase of $16.7 million was noted in the 'Mineral Fuels and Lubricants', this was due to the increase in gasoline and diesel fuels. The food category showed a $5.4 million increase mainly because of more purchases of corn seeds and white rice.
The total value of goods imported during May represented an all-time high in monthly imports; the United States accounted for 28.3 percent of total imports in this period. The institute reports that since the start of the year, Belize has imported $796.7 million worth of goods; $53.8 million more than what was spent last year. In the domestic exports sector, receipts amounted to $50.2 million in May 2014, representing a fall of almost $32 million from the same month last year.
The European Union provided more than one half of the export receipts during the month. Top three earners for the month were citrus, sugar and bananas. Five months into the year, the total domestic export receipts stand at $254.7 million, a full $77 million LESS than the amount earned in the same period last year.

Bahrain promised $10 billion of support from Gulf neighbors
October 5, 2018 EnergyNow Media
DUBAI (Reuters) – Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates have agreed to give Bahrain $10 billion to support the country's funding requirements as it embarks on a fiscal program aimed at eliminating its budget deficit by 2022.
Bahrain's finances have been hit hard by a slump in oil prices in 2014 and the help from its neighbors is needed to prevent Bahrain's rising public debt from triggering a financial crisis.
It also makes sense economically and politically for the three wealthy Gulf states, which are diplomatic allies of Bahrain. Any collapse of Bahrain's currency or a potential credit crunch could undermine confidence throughout the region.
A package of reforms announced by the Bahrain government on Thursday are aimed at delivering 800 million Bahraini dinars ($2.12 billion) in annual savings and eliminate its budget deficit by 2022. Manama had projected a $3.5 billion budget deficit in 2018.
The fiscal balance program combined with the financial support agreement from Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Kuwait allows for a "swift and achievable" progress to continued economic growth and prosperity, Shaikh Khaled bin Abdulla Al Khalifa, Chairman of the Ministerial Committee for Financial Affairs, said in a statement.
The program includes reforms aimed at reducing public expenditure and inefficient spending while also simplifying government processes and increasing non-oil revenue.
The $10 billion financial support from Bahrain's neighbors will be delivered through a long-term, interest-free loan, a source familiar with the agreement said. The financing will be provided gradually and according to an agreed schedule, the source added.
Saudi Arabia, connected to Bahrain on its eastern coast by a causeway, has for years provided political and economic support to its Sunni-ruled neighbor. Sunni Muslim Saudi Arabia and the UAE sent security forces to protect the government in Manama from a Shi'ite-led uprising in 2011.
Bahrain's fiscal program also comes ahead of a November election, the second since 2011, when protesters took to the streets demanding more democracy.
The country has increasingly relied on international debt issues over the past few years but had to cancel a conventional bond sale in March as investors demanded higher returns, raising doubts over Bahrain's ability to continue to access the international markets.
The $10 billion loan will not be sufficient to cover Bahrain's funding needs until it balances its budget, but it will help the country to continue to raise external financing, said the source familiar with the agreement.
The Bahraini dinar touched 17-year lows this year and the cost of insuring Bahrain's sovereign debt against default hit record highs in June before the country's three rich Gulf neighbors reassured financial markets by announcing they were in talks about a major aid package that would be linked to the kingdom's progress in reforming its finances.
Bankers and officials in the Gulf previously told Reuters that Bahrain has been discussing for more than a year the possibility of obtaining such aid from Saudi Arabia and other Gulf Cooperation Council countries.
The small size of the Bahraini economy makes it relatively easy for its wealthier neighbors to bail it out, protecting their own economies from the risk of contagion.
On Thursday Saudi Arabia, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates also provided a $2.5 billion aid package to Jordan to help it to implement austerity measures that had sparked massive protests in June.
The help was pledged at the time of the protests because conservative Gulf states feared that instability in U.S. ally Jordan, which has long backed their foreign policy positions, could have repercussions for their own security.

Matt Harvie, a 1988 Belmont business graduate and former tennis standout, suffered a traumatic brain injury in early June when he fell backwards off a golf cart. Following several surgeries and a month in a coma, Matt was moved to a rehabilitation center in Atlanta to re-learn many basic skills that were impacted by his injuries (talking, walking, eating, etc.). Pictured at right with his parents, Matt was recently released to go home from the rehab facility but still faces another surgery and significant daily outpatient therapy.
Matt is employed in regional sales for Gates Mectrol, a leading manufacturer of synchronous timing belts, timing pulleys and other polymer-based automation components. With the continued expense and logistics of outpatient therapy, a fund has been established to assist the family. Contributions can be sent to Grace Fellowship Church, 1400 Dogwood Road, Snellville, GA 30078 (770.979.7000). On the check memo, please write The Matt Harvie Fund.
