Financial reporting Coronavirus
The challenges for corporate reporting after COVID-19
By Ian Mackintosh May 12, 2020, 1:59 p.m. EDT 2 Min Read
If ever there was a time to conclude that the world cannot continue to function based on the primacy of financial reporting above all else, it is now.
Businesses have already been grappling with the very real risks and opportunities posed by climate change. And now, it appears inevitable that COVID-19 will have a permanent impact on the way businesses think and communicate about human, social and manufactured capital as well.

These are challenges that will be applicable to every business, whatever its size and wherever it is located.
As chair of the Corporate Reporting Dialogue, whose participants include most of the world's largest standard setters and framework providers for corporate reporting, I have been giving these matters considerable thought.
I now believe that the urgent formation of a global comprehensive and connected corporate reporting system is fundamental if we are to tackle these challenges head on.
While it has always been acknowledged that there are challenges in enabling robust and effective reporting across the reporting chain — including on financial and sustainability-related information — my experience leading the CRD and now, with this crisis, has led me to conclude that corporate reporting for both financial and pre-financial information is more important than ever.
Investors, employees, customers and other stakeholders must have access to reliable and comprehensive information. And, as this crisis makes abundantly clear, we need to strengthen links between pre-financial and financial information.
As the pandemic brings into sharp focus, many corporate reports will increase disclosure on preparedness and response going forward. These reports will mix financial concerns such as the impact on revenues and profits, but also include pre-financial issues such as occupational health and safety, employee assistance and business continuity planning. Only when these are considered together can stakeholders get a holistic view of value creation and impacts beyond the company.
Whilst participants in the Corporate Reporting Dialogue are committed, both as a group and individually, to supporting the development of this system, they also agree that the CRD will not take a lead role as such. Going forward, the CRD will serve as the bridge between the financial and pre-financial reporting platforms. We continue to fully support the ongoing efforts to streamline and harmonize the financial and pre-financial reporting platforms that will be led in other forums.
The participants in the Dialogue are in a strong position to provide expertise, understanding and support to advance the development of a consolidated system and ensure it is rooted in the existing approaches they have collectively developed over many years of supporting businesses to report.
I believe that supporting the work of the Impact Management Project to build consensus on how to measure, manage and report impacts could be an important first step. And there is a need to strengthen our communications to explain the strong basis the frameworks and standards provide for a global reporting system.
The coming years will undoubtedly prove to be among the most challenging for businesses globally, as well as legislators and regulators, as the resilience of business models are tested to their limits. I would encourage the leaders of framework providers and standard setters globally to be enablers — not a barrier to ensuring more holistic and high-quality corporate reporting so we can tackle these challenges head on.

Naval Build-up Reflects India's 'Ambition to Project Power'
(Source: Deutsche Welle German radio; issued Feb 23, 2015)
The rise of India as a major trading and resource-consuming power has prompted the South Asian nation to expand its maritime interests beyond its littoral region, says defense analyst Chietigj Bajpaee in a DW interview.
The Indian government recently approved more than 16 billion USD to build advanced naval warships as well as nuclear-powered submarines. A major spender on defense, India is the world's largest weapons importer. The South Asian nation depends on foreign countries, particularly Russia and the US, for most of its military gear. The reliance on imports reflects the inability of the country's armaments manufacturers to make state-of-art equipment that meets the requirements of the nation's armed forces.
But since taking over in May last year, India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi has barely hidden his desire to change the state of affairs. In a bid to kickstart the moribund domestic defense industry, the Modi administration has raised the foreign investment cap to 49 percent, and encouraged multinational arms companies to set shop and "Make in India."
The decision to build naval vessels and submarines in India is seen as part of the administration's plan to ramp up the nation's domestic defense industrial base. Furthermore, the move is also viewed as an attempt by India to bolster its naval defenses, as the country's leaders seem increasingly concerned about China's expanding naval presence in the Indian Ocean region.
In this context, DW talks to Chietigj Bajpaee, an expert on Indian military at King's College in London, about India's plans to modernize its naval forces and bring them on par with the Chinese navy.
DW: What naval equipment is India planning to acquire in near future?
Chietigj Bajpaee: India has ambitious plans for the development of a 160-plus-ship navy, comprising three aircraft carrier battle groups by 2022. More than 40 warships and submarines are on order or under construction at the country's three major shipyards. These include stealth destroyers, anti-submarine corvettes and stealth frigates. These vessels will supplement and in some cases replace the country's older destroyers.
With respect to India's aircraft carriers, in addition to procuring the INS Vikramaditya (formerly the Admiral Gorshkov) from Russia in 2013, India is also constructing the country's first home-made carrier with the INS Vikrant due to be inducted by 2018-19 and plans for the development of the larger INS Vishal as part of indigenous aircraft carrier-II (IAC-II) project.
The Indian Navy also has a particular focus on enhancing the country's submarine fleet with the construction of Scorpenes from France, the leasing of submarines from Russia, and upgrades to India's Russian and German-made submarines. The development of Arihant-class nuclear-powered submarines has also completed the development of India's nuclear triad.
Supporting the growing fleet of vessels, the navy is also inducting MiG-29K multirole aircraft and Kamov-28 and 31 helicopters to deploy from its aircraft carriers. It has also developed K nuclear-capable submarine-launched ballistic missiles (SLBM), land-attack cruise missiles, and a submarine-launched supersonic missile that modifies its BrahMos cruise missile.
How will these purchases boost the country's maritime defensive and offensive capabilities?
These platforms aim to transform the Indian Navy – the world's fifth-largest – into "a brand new multi-dimensional navy" with "reach and sustainability," according to a statement by a former Indian Chief of Naval Staff. In doing so, India aims to strengthen the range and endurance of its vessels; incorporate stealth features; facilitate network-centric operations and carry a more lethal and longer range of cruise missiles.
Some platforms such as the P8-I Poseidon maritime reconnaissance aircraft are aimed at strengthening the navy's "maritime domain awareness." Others, such as USS Trenton (renamed the INS Jalashwa), a landing platform dock ship acquired from the United States in 2007, has enhanced the country's ability to conduct expeditionary operations and humanitarian missions.
Moreover, the fact that India is one of only three Asian countries and only ten in the world to maintain aircraft carriers illustrates its ambition to project power beyond its immediate sub-region. Similarly, India's interest in moving beyond its predominantly conventional diesel submarine fleet towards building up its nuclear submarine capability also points toward a growing interest in power projection beyond its littoral region.
Many believe the government in New Delhi wants to boost defense spending and modernize its military in order to counter the growing clout of China in the region. What is your take on this?
The "China factor" is only one of several factors driving India's naval modernization. First and foremost is the need to protect India's vast 7,500 kilometer coastline and exclusive economic zone that exceeds two million square-kilometers. In this context, the role of the Indian Navy and Coastguard has traditionally been confined to playing a supporting role to land-based operations and coastal defense and surveillance.
However, the rise of India as a major trading and resource-consuming power has prompted the country to expand its maritime interests beyond its littoral region. The numbers speak for themselves. Some 95 percent of India's total external trade by volume and 75 percent by value are now conducted by sea, including more than 70 percent of its oil imports. In this context, maintaining open sea-lanes and protecting the freedom of navigation has also emerged as catalyst for India's naval modernization.
Finally, one cannot deny the presence of an underlying "China factor." The Chinese Navy's revolving ship deployment in support of anti-piracy operations in the Indian Ocean since 2009 was a wake-up call for India. More recently, there have been growing instances of the Chinese making their presence felt in the Indian Ocean Region, including a report that a Song-class diesel-electric submarine docked at Sri Lanka's Colombo port in September 2014.
Furthermore, in the context of China's increasingly assertive behavior in the East and South China Seas there are also latent concerns in India that China's behavior in East Asia may become a harbinger for its actions in South Asia. In this context, naval discourse in India increasingly places emphasis on sea-control and competitive naval diplomacy while moving away from a traditionally defensive maritime posture.
How does India's naval power compare to China's?
China's naval strength is reflected in its growing defense expenditure, which is more than three times that of India and has gone up at double-digit levels annually over the past two decades. By 2020, the Chinese Navy is expected to have 78 submarines of which 12 will be nuclear; 80 medium and heavily amphibious lift ships; and 94 guided missile boats.
In addition to the launch of China's first aircraft carrier, the Liaoning in 2009, the country is also in the process of developing two more indigenously-developed carriers (with ambitions for a total of 4-6 carriers).
Beyond its expanding capabilities, China's naval power is also reflected in its rising ambitions. Similar to India, China also maintains a growing dependence on imported resources, which has prompted concerns over a so-called "Malacca Dilemma" referring to strategic vulnerabilities rooted in the country's dependence on resources imported through sea lanes patrolled by potentially adversarial countries.
This has led China's maritime strategy to move beyond its traditional focus on the first and second "island-chains" and rhetoric of reviving the country's "Maritime Silk Road," which refers to the development of ports and transshipment hubs along vital sea-lines of communication. China's deep-sea mining concessions in the southern Indian Ocean also demonstrate the country's long-term strategic interests in the Indian Ocean Region.
While India is not superior to China in the quantity or quality of its naval platforms, the India's Navy has generally outpaced China's in the sphere of maritime confidence-building.
This has been facilitated by the Indian Navy's prominent role in humanitarian assistance and disaster relief (HADR), including relief operations following the Asian tsunami of 2004 and the cyclone that struck Myanmar (Burma) in 2008. India has also been successful at regional confidence-building in the maritime domain fuelled by the growing frequency of joint naval exercises with regional navies.
What areas should New Delhi focus on in the future to develop its military as a counterweight to the Chinese?
India is seeking to strengthen its anti-submarine capabilities in response to the growing presence of Chinese vessels in waters of the Indian Ocean Region, as evidenced by the launch of the indigenously-built INS Kamorta guided missile destroyer in August 2014.
Interoperability is also a key capability that the Indian Navy will need to develop. This refers to expanding cooperation with other regional navies that maintain concerns about the rise of China's naval ambitions. There is already evidence of this with India and Japan holding their first bilateral naval exercises in June 2012 and India providing training to Vietnam in underwater warfare.
During the recent visit of US President Barack Obama to India in January, both countries also issued a joint statement noting the importance of the peaceful resolution of maritime territorial disputes and ensuring the "freedom of navigation" with specific reference to the South China Sea. This highlights both countries' joint concerns over China's increasingly assertive behavior in the maritime domain.
In this context, India's tri-services Andaman and Nicobar (Southern) command, which was established in 2001, will play an increasingly important role given its strategic location near the Strait of Malacca and South China Sea.
China is likely to resist these efforts. Reports in July 2011 that an Indian Navy vessel, the INS Airavat, received alleged radio contact from the Chinese Navy demanding that the vessel depart disputed waters in the South China Sea after completing a port call in Vietnam illustrate China's opposition to an expanding Indian naval presence in East Asia.
Finally, despite its growing emphasis on power projection, the Indian Navy and Coastguard need to maintain a continued focus on coastal defense given the vulnerabilities that India faces along its poorly demarcated and partially disputed maritime border.
This was made evident by the terrorist attacks in Mumbai in November 2008 in which Pakistan-based militants infiltrated into India via the country's porous maritime boundaries.

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. – Space shuttle Atlantis thundered away on its final voyage to orbit Friday, hoisting an experienced crew of six and a full shipment of space station gear.
Atlantis sped through a perfectly clear afternoon sky, blazing a trail over the Atlantic before huge crowds eager to catch one of the few remaining shuttle launches. More than 40,000 guests — the biggest launch-day crowd in years — packed the Kennedy Space Center.
The shuttle's destination is the International Space Station, which was soaring over the South Pacific at the time of liftoff. The shuttle should catch up with the orbiting complex and its six residents Sunday morning.
A piece of orbiting junk, however, was threatening to come too close to the space station. If necessary, Mission Control will order up a maneuver so the station can dodge the debris the night before Atlantis' arrival. The docking will not be delayed, even if the station has to move out of the way of the unidentified piece, NASA officials said.
"Good luck, godspeed and have a little fun up there," launch director Mike Leinbach told the astronauts just before liftoff. He said he was speaking on behalf of all those who have worked on Atlantis since construction began in 1980.
"Like you said, there are thousands of folks out there who have taken care of this bird for a long time," replied commander Kenneth Ham. "We're going to take her on her 32nd flight, and if you don't mind, we'll take her out of the barn and make a few more laps around the planet."
The astronauts — all repeat space fliers and all men — couldn't resist a little humor before they got down to business. They showed up for their steak and cheeseburger breakfast wearing blue and black smoking jackets, white shirts and black bow ties.
This 12-day mission is the last one planned for Atlantis, the fourth in NASA's line of space shuttles. Only two flights remain after this one, by Discovery and Endeavour. NASA plans to end the 30-year program by the end of this year.
Atlantis — which rocketed into orbit for the first time in 1985 — is loaded with fresh batteries and a Russian-built compartment for the space station. The 20-foot-long module is crammed with food, laptop computers and other U.S. supplies.
Ham and his men will install the compartment on the space station, and carry out three spacewalks to replace six old batteries and hook up an antenna and other spare parts.
Alexey Krasnov, chief of the Russian Space Agency's piloted program, said it was a miracle that Atlantis took off without any delays.
"It looks like that Atlantis is telling us, `Please use me again. I am capable,' " he said, smiling. "Maybe two-thirds of the launches were postponed by the weather or hardware ... and today it worked exactly as planned."
Only a few small bits of insulating foam were seen coming off the fuel tank during liftoff, nothing significant, officials said.
Launch spectators included Defense Secretary Robert Gates and late-night TV host David Letterman, as well as dozens of Russians. About 150 Twittering guests watched from Kennedy's media complex.
Matt Balan, 29, of Alexandria, Va., lost his network connection right at liftoff as he was trying to tweet. He finally got this message out a few minutes after the fact: "That was spectacular!!!!"
Even off-duty astronauts marveled at the sight of Atlantis rising one last time, snapping pictures with their cell phones. "That was an incredible launch," said Rick Mastracchio, who flew last month on Discovery. Some Apollo astronauts also showed up.
President Barack Obama wants NASA to focus on getting astronauts to an asteroid by 2025 and into orbit around Mars by 2035. He canceled the previous administration's plan to return to the moon.
Friday's launch was NASA's fourth shuttle liftoff in six months. Now the pace will slow a bit. Discovery isn't due to fly until September, followed by Endeavour in November — at the earliest.
There's a chance that Atlantis could fly again after it returns to Earth on May 26. The shuttle will be prepped in case a rescue mission is needed for the last flight, by Endeavour. Assuming there's no emergency, Atlantis could be used for another supply run if the White House approves it, and that would close the shuttle program for good. Then the shuttles would head off to museums.
Immediately after watching liftoff, U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, D-Fla., told The Associated Press that he's encouraging one more flight for Atlantis and noted: "There's a good chance the president will approve it." He flew Columbia into orbit in 1986.
NASA's space operations chief, Bill Gerstenmaier, said he'd be glad to fly Atlantis in June 2011 with a minimal crew of four, if money is forthcoming. He estimates it would cost between $600 million and $1 billion to keep the shuttle program going beyond January.
Under the Obama plan, NASA astronauts will hitch rides to the space station on Russian Soyuz rockets for the near future.
NASA expects to keep the space station running through 2020.


RAWLINS — The Wyoming Game and Fish Department reports that no injuries were sustained during the accidental discharge of a firearm in a hunter education class on Jan. 28 in Rawlins. Students were present and on break while instructors were preparing firearms for the hands-on portion of the class when the discharge occurred. Game and Fish is working to finalize its report on the incident.
"We are very thankful that no one was injured," said George Oberstadt, hunter education coordinator for Game and Fish.
The incident occured Monday evening, Jan. 28, at the Department of Corrections Training Facility in Rawlins. The certified volunteer hunter education instructors were preparing the firearms at the side of the classroom when the discharge occurred.
Game and Fish protocol requires hunter education instructors to notify the Game and Fish hunter education coordinator in the event of an incident which then sets into motion a review of the incident, filing of reports and appropriate action as outlined in policy and procedures.
Verify the firearm is unloaded and cased prior to entering a classroom.
When setting up a classroom activity, the coordinating instructor must verify that all firearms are unloaded.
A second instructor, or experienced volunteer, must also verify that the firearms are unloaded.
Bore safety flags should be used to indicate that the firearm is safe; bore safety flags may be removed but must be in place during any handling by students.
The coordinating instructor must also verify that there is NO live ammunition in the class, unless live-fire activities are being conducted.
The coordinating instructor will keep a log of each firearm brought into class and the appropriate ownership.
A complete review of the incident is ongoing and will result in appropriate action per department protocols and policies.

Q: Error while using concat to flatten an array Here's the issue:
I'm trying to flatten an array of sales, in which every element has an id, a sale code, a seller username associated, a timestamp, and a detail. The detail consist of an array with a product, an amount, and a subtotal for every item in each one.
For example, the complete sales array looks like this:
[
    {
    "_id":"63182596a51be828aa351daf",
    "codVenta":1,
    "vendedor":"rosittog",
    "detalle":
        [
            {
                "producto":"3",
                "cantidad":1,
                "tipoPago":"efectivo",
                "subtotal":23,
                "_id":"63182596a51be828aa351db0"
                },
            {
                "producto":"4",
                "cantidad":1,
                "tipoPago":"efectivo",
                "subtotal":55,
                "_id":"63182596a51be828aa351db1"
                }
        ],
    "fechaHora":"2022-09-07T05:01:10.462Z",
    "__v":0
    },

    {
        "_id":"631845c706b2c211ed6f5ca9",
        "codVenta":1,
        "vendedor":"rosittog",
        "detalle":
        [
            {
                "producto":"4",
                "cantidad":1,
                "tipoPago":"efectivo",
                "subtotal":55,
                "_id":"631845c706b2c211ed6f5caa"
                }
        ],
        "fechaHora":"2022-09-07T07:18:30.829Z",
        "__v":0
    }
]

What I'm trying to do is flattening the array, so I can have something like this:
[
    {
        "_id":"63182596a51be828aa351db0",
        "idVentaAsociada":"63182596a51be828aa351daf",
        "codVenta":1,
        "vendedor":"rosittog",
        "producto":"3",
        "cantidad":1,
        "tipoPago":"efectivo",
        "subtotal":23,
        "fechaHora":"2022-09-07T05:01:10.462Z"
    },

    {
        "_id":"63182596a51be828aa351db1",
        "idVentaAsociada":"63182596a51be828aa351daf",
        "codVenta":1,
        "vendedor":"rosittog",
        "producto":"4",
        "cantidad":1,
        "tipoPago":"efectivo",
        "subtotal":55,
        "fechaHora":"2022-09-07T05:01:10.462Z"
    },

    {
        "_id":"631845c706b2c211ed6f5caa",
        "idVentaAsociada":"631845c706b2c211ed6f5ca9",
        "codVenta":1,
        "vendedor":"rosittog",
        "producto":"4",
        "cantidad":1,
        "tipoPago":"efectivo",
        "subtotal":55,
        "fechaHora":"2022-09-07T05:01:10.462Z"
    }
]

This is: I need an element of the flattened array for every detail in every sale. For example, in the original array we had a sale with two items on the detail ("detalle" in spanish), and another one with just one item. So then, the flattened array should have three items total.
What I'm trying to do for that purpose, is this:
const aplanarVentas=function (ventas) {
    let arrayVentasPlano=[];

    //ventas.map(function (venta){
    for (const venta of ventas) {

        let ventaPlana= {
            _id:'',
            idVentaAsociada:'',
            codVenta:0,
            vendedor:'',
            producto:0,
            cantidad:0,
            tipoPago:'',
            subtotal:0
        };

        ventaPlana.idVentaAsociada=venta._id;
        ventaPlana.codVenta=venta.codVenta;
        ventaPlana.vendedor=venta.vendedor;
        ventaPlana.fechaHora=venta.fechaHora;

        //venta.detalle.map(function (elemDetalle){
        for (const elemDetalle of venta.detalle) {

            console.log("Entro al for");

            //console.log(elemDetalle);
            ventaPlana._id=elemDetalle._id;
            ventaPlana.producto=elemDetalle.producto;
            ventaPlana.cantidad=elemDetalle.cantidad;
            ventaPlana.tipoPago=elemDetalle.tipoPago;
            ventaPlana.subtotal=elemDetalle.subtotal

            console.log("Before updating arrayVentasPlano");
            console.log(arrayVentasPlano);

            /*Validation tried
                        if (!arrayVentasPlano.some(
                            function (venta) {
                                return venta._id==elemDetalle._id
                                }
                            )
                            )
                        {
            */
            arrayVentasPlano=arrayVentasPlano.concat(ventaPlana);
            //arrayVentasPlano.push(ventaPlana);

            console.log("After updating arrayVentasPlano");
            console.log(arrayVentasPlano);
            //}

I've left some lines I tried before as comments: using map instead of for, using push instead of concat, and also the "some" function for validation, but none of that stuff worked.
The response I have is this one (special attention to _id fields):

As you can see: in the first iteration, it appends the item correctly to the arrayPlanoVentas ("plano" means flat, "ventas" means sales), but in the next iteration I don't have the element previously appended.
What I'm doing wrong? I've tried almost everything.
If it's needed, here's the function from where I call aplanarVentas (I'm using express and mongoose):
router.route('/asociarAplanar').get( async(req, res) => {

    try {
        const ventas=await Venta.find();
        //Por cada venta, necesito N elementos
        const ventasAplanadas= await aplanarVentas(ventas);

        const usuarios= await Usuario.find({categoria: "vendedor"});
        const productos= await Producto.find();
        const cuentas= await Cuentas.findById("unico");
        return res.json({
            "ventas":ventasAplanadas,
            "usuarios":usuarios,
            "productos":productos,
            "cuentas":cuentas
        });
    }
    catch(err) {
        console.log(err);
        return res.status(400).json('Error: ' + err);
    }

})

A: Make the following two changes to fix your code:

*

*Array#concat a copy of ventaPlana instead of ventaPlana by changing:
arrayVentasPlano=arrayVentasPlano.concat(ventaPlana);

to:
    arrayVentasPlano=arrayVentasPlano.concat({...ventaPlana});

*Move return arrayVentasPlano; so that it is outside the outer for loop

DALLAS, Tx. — What do you do when a deadly disease like Ebola creeps into your state? Set up a task force, what else?
"Today I issued an executive order creating the Texas task force on infectious disease preparedness and response," Governor Rick Perry said.
Great, now we've got a task force to make plans for the future, but what about the task at hand?
Well, the Ivy Apartment, where four people who had contact with Thomas Eric Duncan were quarantined, is now safe – according to a VP from the Cleaning Guys.
Hmmm, so where is all that stuff going now?
"Another entity is going to take care of where it's going and what's going to be done with it," Smith said.
Meanwhile, several Dallas Independent School District school received temperature scanning equipment from the Dallas based company Wello – which will be used to check students who feel sick.
As for Duncan, he's still in critical condition, but is now receiving an investigational medication –brincidofovir – not to be confused with ZMapp which is way easier to pronounce.
And the 5th American to contract Ebola, freelance cameraman Ashoka Mukpo, was flown to a Nebraska Hospital for treatment after being diagnosed in Liberia while shooting for NBC news. Scary news for hospital workers, in Spain, a nurse who treated an Ebola victim in a Madrid hospital has now tested positive.
AS for preventing more cases in the U.S – some believe the answer is simple.
"…stop travel to the United States not just from there, but also understanding the African travel goes to Europe and other places," Representative Pete Sessions said.
Seems like folks won't rest until they know the U.S. is an Ebola free zone.

Childhoods lost as Rohingya kids take on role of parents
An estimated 1,400 children are sole providers for their families in crowded refugee camps along the Bangladesh border, where more than 600,000 Rohingya Muslims have sought sanctuary from violence in Myanmar since August

BALUKHALI, Bangladesh – Tahera Begum walks a mile alone at dawn to collect firewood for her ill parents and four siblings, an enormous burden for a 10-year-old thrust to the head of her family in the world's largest refugee settlement.
"I do it because no one else in my family can. Both my parents are sick. They cannot move without assistance," the Rohingya girl told AFP while chopping vegetables in her family's tarpaulin shanty in Bangladesh.
An estimated 1,400 children are sole providers for their families in crowded refugee camps along the Bangladesh border, where more than 600,000 Rohingya Muslims have sought sanctuary from violence in Myanmar since August.
Charities fear they are especially vulnerable to illness and emotional stress from shouldering such responsibility, or exploitation as they struggle to provide for their families in the overstretched tent cities.
"This may lead them to child labour and explicit sex work. These families may also experience a spike in child marriages, which is very concerning," said Save the Children International spokesman Rik Goverde.
For Tahera, who was caring for her infirm parents even before they made the difficult journey from Myanmar, the day starts at sunrise with a long trek into the forest to gather firewood for cooking.
It's an arduous slog carrying the heavy load back to the family tent, a plastic sheet strung across a bamboo frame on a crowded hillside in Balukhali.
But she barely rests before embarking on her second early-morning chore – jostling with other refugees to fill an urn at the single water pump in her corner of the camps.
Later in the day, Tahera carries what's left of the lumber to the local market to trade for basic supplies.
The refugee influx over the past two months has sent prices skyrocketing, so the little girl must barter hard alongside adults for food and other bare essentials to feed her family and earn money for medicine.
"All my siblings are younger than me. Being the eldest, I am just doing my part," she said.
Childhoods lost
The sight of children carting water jugs, queueing at relief stations or dragging sacks of grain the size of their own bodies is not uncommon in the Rohingya camps.
More than half of the 607,000 new arrivals are children, and aid groups say they are bearing the brunt of Asia's worst refugee crisis in decades.
A full 7.5 percent of the children crammed into one of the camps in Cox's Bazar district are at risk of dying from severe acute malnutrition, the United Nations warned last week.
Meanwhile an estimated 40,000 children have crossed the border completely alone, their parents killed or displaced by violence in Myanmar the United Nations has likened to ethnic cleansing.
To survive such horror only to become sole provider for a family is "something that no child in the world should ever experience", said UNICEF Bangladesh's spokesman Sakil Faizullah.
Schools and safe zones run by aid groups offer some respite from horrific memories and the grim reality of life in the camps, where many children are forced to care for sick or injured parents and traumatised siblings.
In these child-friendly spaces, youngsters can draw, sing and play in a classroom-like setting away from the misery awaiting them back in their shanties.
Tahera's younger sister occasionally drags her along to a UNICEF kid's zone, where she gazes longingly at the picture books available.
But she can never linger long, with her bed-ridden parents and younger siblings relying on her for survival.
"I love the comic book pages. But I don't get the chance to go there everyday," Tahera said, preparing a simple meal in the family's dimly-lit hut.
Bangladeshi charity worker Baby Barua was shocked to learn from Tahera's younger sister that she was feeding and caring for a family of seven on her own.
"She's only a kid. She shouldn't be doing all these (tasks) by herself. This is equivalent to child labor," Barua said.
Charities are considering cash assistance to lighten the load for young breadwinners, but the need is huge and the scale of the crisis is overwhelming already stretched aid organizations.
Despite the magnitude of the task ahead of them, aid workers say the youngest victims of the crisis must not be forgotten.
"They've already lost their childhood and it's our responsibility to make sure that they don't lose their future," UNICEF's Faizullah told AFP. – Rappler.com

De Stenen Broden is een Suske en Wiske-verhaal dat voor het eerst verscheen in het eerste deel van de reeks Plezier met Suske en Wiske (1981). Deze nieuwe serie was bedoeld als de opvolger van het Vakantieboek en bevat naast dit verhaal diverse puzzels, spelletjes en verhalen van Jerom en Tits.

Het verhaal is nooit uitgebracht in de reguliere Vierkleurenreeks en heeft als zodanig dus ook geen nummer.

Personages
 Suske, Wiske met Schanulleke, tante Sidonia, Lambik, Jerom, professor Barabas, Hans Waldenburg, heks, burgers

Uitvindingen
 De teletijdmachine

Het verhaal

Suske, Wiske, Lambik en Jerom zijn op vakantie in Zwitserland en komen in een dorpje waar net feest wordt gevierd. Jerom doet mee aan een wedstrijd steengooien en leent een steen die hij erg ver gooit. Omdat de steen historische waarde heeft moet Jerom de steen gaan zoeken en Suske, Wiske en Lambik gaan naar hun chalet. 's Nachts wordt er een stenen brood door het dak gegooid, maar de vrienden zien de dader niet. De volgende dag gaan ze naar een ruïne waar Wiske een standbeeld uit 1645 ontdekt, het is een beeld van Hans Waldenburg. Bij de fontein in het dorp hoort Wiske van een vrouw dat haar opa al vertelde over de stenen broden, het verschijnsel vindt al sinds mensenheugenis plaats. Suske en Lambik geloven het verhaal niet, maar ontdekken 's nachts dat Wiske is verdwenen. Ze gaan haar zoeken en komen de volgende dag bij het standbeeld en ontdekken een geheime gang.

In een geheime kamer onder het standbeeld vinden Suske en Lambik Wiske terug, ze vertelt dat ze 's nachts heeft gezien dat het standbeeld tot leven kwam. Het beeld bakte broden, maar elke keer als de broden uit de oven kwamen bleken ze veranderd te zijn in stenen. Het beeld werd woest en smeet de stenen weg. Lambik en Suske geloven het verhaal van Wiske pas als ze het kan bewijzen met foto's. Ze bellen professor Barabas die de vrienden met de teletijdmachine naar het verleden stuurt voor onderzoek. Suske hoort van de dorpelingen dat Hans Waldenburg wreed en gierig is, maar gaat toch naar het kasteel. Hij ziet hoe Hans weigert een oud vrouwtje brood te geven en haar met een zak stenen weg stuurt. Het vrouwtje vervloekt Hans en hij zal pas rust vinden nadat hij een brood gebakken heeft. Suske en Wiske willen Hans helpen, maar Lambik gaat liever in de bergen klimmen. Lambik gaat op pad en overnacht in een berghut.

Suske en Wiske gaan 's nachts naar het standbeeld en als Hans hen ziet schrikt hij hevig. Hij valt in het meer en wordt gered door Suske. Hans is erg verbaasd dat hij geholpen wordt door mensen die hem niet eens echt kennen. Suske en Wiske beloven de volgende dag terug te komen. Als Lambik wil afdalen naar het dorp ziet hij een enorme overhangende rots die elk moment naar beneden kan storten. Hij gaat terug naar de chalet en bouwt een voertuig, maar op weg naar beneden raakt hij een boom. Twee koeien zijn getuige van het ongeluk en besluiten Lambik naar het dorp te brengen. Suske en Wiske keren de volgende nacht terug bij het standbeeld en vragen Hans waar zijn goud gebleven is. Het blijkt onder de vloer van de geheime kamer begraven te liggen en ze smelten het goud dan om. Met het gesmolten goud geven ze Hans een gouden hart en het lukt Hans eindelijk een goed brood te bakken.

De oude vrouw verschijnt en ze krijgt het brood van Hans, ze vergeeft hem maar vertelt dat Hans pas rust zal vinden als hij zijn medemens met de stenen broden kan helpen. Hans denkt dat hij verloren is, hij kan zich niet voorstellen dat de stenen ooit nuttig zullen zijn. Suske en Wiske gaan terug naar het chalet en daar komen later twee koeien aan de deur. Ze verzorgen de gewonde Lambik en als hij bijkomt vertelt hij over de enorme rots die het dorp zal verpletteren. Jerom komt ook terug, hij heeft de steen uit 1805 bij de Eiffeltoren teruggevonden. De vrienden halen de stenen uit de geheime ruimte en Jerom gaat naar het dorp om een ossenkar te halen. De stenen worden in de wagen gelegd en Jerom rent hiermee naar de berg, het lukt hem net op tijd om de stenen onder de afbrekende rots te plaatsen. Het dorp wordt gered en de dorpelingen en de burgemeester arriveren om de vrienden te bedanken. Het standbeeld van Hans ziet er anders uit: de kwade blik is veranderd in een stralende glimlach. Eindelijk heeft Hans rust gevonden en in het dorp wordt opnieuw feestgevierd.

Think of Two Worlds as a bridge between worlds—touching on one side into the roots of ancient perennial wisdom while simultaneously reaching on the other side into the future. Imagine it as a convergence between spiritual and scientific spheres. See it as both an intuitive and analytic path you travel with others at the evolutionary edge of our culture.
At the heart of Two Worlds is the idea that there is power and possibility in new intersections—in the integration of that which seems opposed—in the translation and application of wisdom from one world into another world.
Wisdom exists in all places and times. There are ageless concepts that represent the highest understandings of people, many of which are deeply familiar. Yet most of this wisdom is noticeably absent in business, politics, economics, education, health, and other spheres. Many of the problems we face can be traced to the way in which we have separated our highest wisdom from our approaches to leading and living.
Our purpose for Two Worlds Wisdom School is bridging our wisdom to the ways we live and lead. We have gleaned 108 wisdom principles from the world's great wisdom traditions. These serve as the seed ideas around which everything revolves.

New Georgia Conflict Opinion: A Criminal Appeals Lawyer's Dream
The new advisory opinion (PDF Page 92) for the handling of conflict cases for the Georgia Public Defender Standards Council was the talk of the recent Fall Seminar (PDF) for the Georgia Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. This issue has been divisive among the criminal defense bar. GACDL has not weighed in as amicus counsel in litigation involving the conflict rule. The conflict rule is a step in the right direction but does not go far enough. And the rule will be ripe for challenge under the Sixth Amendment in future appellate cases. First, a little background on the rule and a discussion of why it's a step in the right direction. Finally, I'll discuss why it will probably be an invitation for future Sixth Amendment Ineffective Assistance of Counsel claims because it doesn't go far enough.
The Conflict Rule
The State Bar of Georgia issued a formal advisory opinion holding that a circuit public defender's office is a "law firm" as defined by Georgia Rule of Professional Conduct 1.10(a). Under that rule, a conflict in representation that would prevent a lawyer from representing co-defendants in a single matter is imputed to other lawyers working in the same firm and is an ethical bar to any lawyer in the firm representing the co-defendant.
To use a legal term of art that can be traced back to the time of Sir William Blackstone: "duh."
We were quickly developing into a State with two sets of conflict rules: one for rich people and another for the other 90% of the criminal calendar. Case law from the Supreme Court of Georgia was starting to go in the other direction. For instance, in Burns v. State, 638 S.E.2d 299 (2006), the Supreme Court of Georgia declined to adopt a per se rule that lawyers in a single public defender's office cannot represent multiple defendants in the same matter. The Supreme Court of Georgia found that there was no conflict in the particular case and declined to make any rule. The decision also seemed politically expedient for 2006 when GPDSC was just beginning to financially melt down. The mess got worse. Conflicts were being ignored with impunity when the defendant happened to be poor.
Then, the State Bar of Georgia stepped in and issued the formal advisory opinion (PDF Page 92). The opinion was not well-received by Georgia's Republic legislative regime. Senator John Wiles, R-Kennesaw supported a proposal to abolish the State Bar of Georgia. The former Bar President then sent an email to the Georgia Bar's Board of Governors asking them to oppose his candidacy. He lost in the Republican Primary.
Quoting Blackstone again: bwa ha ha ha ha
So, Here's the Sixth Amendment Problem
The State Bar has held that a public defender in one office can represent conflict clients in another circuit public defender's office. And that is the route GPDSC has chosen. Think of the levels of Sixth Amendment problems and how, to quote Mr. Blackstone, "whacked out" this system is
GPDSC is a single statewide law firm governed by approximately 40 managing partners, directed by a council of senior partners, and a centralized chief partner. If it isn't, then why can't I open an office in another Georgia county and use that office to split co-defendants with the guy I allow to "run" that office? More profit for me, right?
How can assistant public defenders possibly manage a caseload that is already too high plus a load of conflict cases from neighboring counties?
What about direct appeals? A big cause of conflicts is a claim of ineffective assistance of counsel by a convicted defendant. So, under the new system, trial attorneys will likely mix busy trial practices and an appellate practice (handling most of every calendar in an assigned courtroom plus running an appellate practice). It's an invitation to ineffective assistance of appellate counsel
The resource problem remains. In the Advisory Opinion, the Bar notes that part of why you should impute a conflict within a circuit defender's officer is that a single supervisor might have an incentive to manipulate resources to move the cases. ("oh, your guy won't claim the dope in the car. Well, let me show you your new office, back there by the copier.") And there would be a tendency to compete for investigative resources. So, now imagine the conflict defender walking into a foreign office and trying to ask the local Public Defender to devote resources for this interloper or the APD's own supervisor to allocate resources for the foreign office when he goes to another county to do a conflict case.
So, habeas counsel, get ready to start raising new IAC claims. And yes, conflict issues are in 6th Amendment territory. For more on that idea, check out Holloway v. Arkansas, 435 U.S. 475 (1978).

Le phare de Dutch Island (en ), ou phare de Sandy Point est un phare actif situé sur Dutch Island, dans la baie de Narragansett, à Jamestown dans le Comté de Newport (État de Rhode Island).

Il est inscrit au Registre national des lieux historiques depuis le .

Histoire
En 1825, le gouvernement fédéral fit l'acquisition d'un terrain à l'extrémité sud de l'île. Le , le phare fut établi pour marquer le passage ouest de la baie de Narragansett et aider les navires entrant dans le port de Dutch Island. La première tour a été construite avec des pierres trouvées sur l'île.

En 1857, l'ancienne tour et la maison du gardien ont été démolies et remplacées par l'actuelle tour en briques et une maison du gardien de quatre pièces. Une cloche de brouillard a été ajoutée en 1878. En 1924, un lumière rouge clignotante fonctionnant au kérosène a été installé.

En 1947, la lumière a été automatisée et éclairée à l'électricité, sous forme de balise rouge clignotante. Les militaires ont quitté l'île et, en 1950, la maison du gardien a été démolie à cause du vandalisme et de la croissance de crapauds et de mousse dans la maison.

En 1972, la Garde côtière a proposé de supprimer complètement le feu. Devant les protestations locales adressées à la Garde côtière, celle-ci a non seulement conservé la lumière, mais elle a même augmenté son intensité. Le vandalisme a toutefois continué et la proposition de cesser la lumière a de nouveau été proposée en 1977. Cette fois, elle a été abandonnée et a été remplacée par une bouée rouge clignotante au large de la pointe de l'île en 1979.

En 2000, l'American Lighthouse Foundation a loué le phare à la Garde côtière et a contribué à la création de la Dutch Island Lighthouse Society (DILS) en vue de la restauration du phare. Après la fin des travaux, le phare a été réactivé à titre privé le .

Description
Le phare  est une tour quadrangulaire en brique avec une galerie et une lanterne de  de haut. La tour est peinte en blanc et la lanterne est noire. Il émet, à une hauteur focale de , un éclat rouge de deux secondes par période de 6 secondes. Sa portée n'est pas connue.

I just got back from a Stampin' Up! event called OnStage Local Minneapolis. It was great to meet old and new friends as we chatted and drooled over the new products…ok..I'm pretty sure it was me doing all the drooling.
Friday was Centre Stage. This event is a leadership event for Silver Elites and above. I feel very blessed to be able to attend and learn from some very amazing leaders in SU!. We received some great training and of course treated to a super yummy meal and a special gift.
The next day was more business tips and of course stamping! We had great presenters who showcased some of the new suites coming out. I just have to tell you that I had a hard time choosing a favorite. With so many beautiful products to feed your creative tank, you can bet this is going to be a fun catalog year.
Here are a few of the projects we made during the make and take portion of the event. It was fun to work with some of the new products. I am so excited for my box to come Wednesday! We were given the opportunity to purchase some of the products and so of course I did! If you are busy on Saturday during my Open Studio, stop by and have a look.
I had a wonderful time. I met some old friends that I haven't seen in a long time and some brand new ones I hope to see again. Thanks SU! for another fabulous event. I know the staff works long and hard to make sure the experience is amazing and you can tell. Kudos to you!

Mothers' preferences for regulating children's television
Ann D. Walsh, Russell N. Laczniak, Les Carlson
The potential ill effects of television advertising and programming directed at children and who should assume responsibility for them are issues being debated by parents, broadcasters, government officials, and child advocates. Some contend that protecting children is government's responsibility; others argue that parents are ultimately responsible. Though many opinions have been offered, few have represented parental views. The authors fill that gap by examining mothers' preferences for the regulation of children's television. They also segment mothers by their parental styles and examine their group views of various options. Finally, they offer some insights for persons who affect policies.

Fu anche dirigente nell'ambito automobilistico.

Nance nacque nel 1900 a Portsmouth, nell'Ohio, da George W. Nance e Florence Van Horne. Dopo aver espletato il servizio militare durante la prima guerra mondiale, Nance si laureò all'Università Wesleyana dell'Ohio nel 1923; frequentò anche l'Università statale dell'Ohio per un corso post-laurea.

La carriera
Nance iniziò la sua carriera professionale alla NCR Corporation nel 1924, e vi restò fino al 1927, quando cominciò a lavorare per la General Motors, divisione Frigidaire. Nel 1940 lasciò la Frigidaire per diventare il vicepresidente della Zenith Radio Corporation di Chicago. Nel 1945 fu nominato amministratore delegato della Hotpoint, e vi rimase fino a quando si trasferì alla Packard nel 1952, ricoprendo lo stesso ruolo.

Quando era alla guida della Packard, Nance spinse per separare la gamma della Packard Clipper, di livello più basso, dalla gamma Senior della Packard, e di creare un marchio a parte, la Clipper, appositamente dedicato ad essa.  Nance spinse anche per sviluppare il primo V8 della Casa automobilistica statunitense, e l'Ultramatic, un tipo di cambio automatico.

Nel 1954 Nance aiutò a coordinare la fusione tra la Studebaker e la Packard, creando la Studebaker-Packard Corporation. Mentre l'accorpamento sembrava fare gli interessi di entrambe le Case automobilistiche, la Studebaker non riuscì a fornire alla Packard un resoconto delle sue reali condizioni economiche, molto precarie, mettendo a rischio la posizione di entrambi i costruttori.

Nance ebbe discussioni informali con George Walter Mason, della Nash-Kelvinator, che erano incentrate su una potenziale fusione delle case automobilistiche statunitensi indipendenti in un'unica società. Nessun rapporto formale ebbe luogo, ed ogni speranza per un eventuale prosieguo fu interrotta nell'ottobre del 1954 dalla morte di Mason.

Nance lasciò la Studebaker-Packard Corporation nel 1956 quando la compagnia fu sull'orlo dell'insolvenza, ma non prima di aver organizzato un piano di salvataggio con la Curtiss-Wright, azienda costruttrice di aeroplani.

Dopo il ruolo ricoperto alla Studebaker-Packard, Nance fu nominato vicepresidente della Mercury-Edsel-Lincoln, divisione della Ford, ma si dimise sotto la pressione dei vertici dell'azienda nel 1959, poiché la Edsel non ottenne consensi commerciali.

Lasciò il campo automobilistico dopo la sua precedente occupazione con la Ford, e divenne presidente e amministratore delegato della Central National Bank di Cleveland nel 1960, e successivamente presidente del consiglio di amministrazione della stessa nel 1962. Dopo il ritiro dalla Central National, Nance stabilì la sua società di consulenza a Cleveland.

Gli incarichi dopo la sua carriera
Nel 1964 Nance fu nominato presidente del consiglio di amministrazione della Cleveland State University, posizione che mantenne fino al 1970. L'università diede il nome al proprio Business College in onore a Nance, oltre alla propria biblioteca

Oltre al suo ruolo alla Cleveland State University, Nance diventò amministratore fiduciario dell'Università del Northwestern, dell'Università Wesleyana dell'Ohio, dell'University Hospitals of Cleveland e consociato della Case Western Reserve University.

Vita personale
Nance si sposò con Laura Battelle nel 1925; la coppia ebbe due figli. Dopo il ritiro dall'attività lavorativa, Nance stabilì la propria residenza a Chagrin Fall, nell'Ohio. La signora Nance precedette suo marito nella morte. James J. Nance morì nel luglio del 1984.

Van Gogh, the eldest of six children of a Protestant pastor, was born and reared in a small village in the Brabant region of the southern Netherlands. He was a quiet, self-contained youth, spending his free time wandering the countryside to observe nature. At 16 he was apprenticed to The Hague branch of the art dealers Goupil and Co., of which his uncle was a partner.
In 2015 the company paid out $2.5 million dollars in free furniture to 3000 customers after a promotion that gave away the purchases of customers if it snowed three inches each in the cities of Toledo, Fort Wayne, and Chicago.[21][22] In 2016, Art Van replaced its regional Super Bowl advertisements in the Detroit and Grand Rapids areas with a thank you message for donors of water to Flint, Michigan, which the company had solicited through its charitable programs.[23]
During the first days of his treatment, Van Gogh repeatedly and unsuccessfully asked for Gauguin, who asked a policeman attending the case to "be kind enough, Monsieur, to awaken this man with great care, and if he asks for me tell him I have left for Paris; the sight of me might prove fatal for him."[153] Gauguin fled Arles, never to see Van Gogh again. They continued to correspond and in 1890 Gauguin proposed they form a studio in Antwerp. Meanwhile, other visitors to the hospital included Marie Ginoux and Roulin.[154]
The name of van Gogh was virtually unknown when he killed himself: only one article about him had appeared during his lifetime. He had exhibited a few canvases at the Salon des Indépendants in Paris between 1888 and 1890 and in Brussels in 1890; both salons showed small commemorative groups of his work in 1891. One-man shows of his work did not occur until 1892.
Along that same vein, in August 2013, reports about a new health scare involving Van Dyke were circulating worldwide. According to reports, a sports car that Van Dyke was operating on L.A.'s 101 Freeway suddenly burst into flames on August 19, leaving the actor trapped inside the burning vehicle until a passing motorist who had witnessed the accident could come to his aid. Thanks to the passerby, Jason Pennington, Van Dyke left the scene of the accident unscathed—not only did the actor walk away uninjured and needing no medical treatment, he did not receive a citation for the incident, according to The Associated Press. According to some reports, Van Dyke had reported engine trouble with the vehicle the previous day, on August 18.
In Paris in 1901 a large Van Gogh retrospective was held at the Bernheim-Jeune Gallery, which excited André Derain and Maurice de Vlaminck, and contributed to the emergence of Fauvism.[269] Important group exhibitions took place with the Sonderbund artists in Cologne in 1912, the Armory Show, New York in 1913, and Berlin in 1914.[273] Henk Bremmer was instrumental in teaching and talking about Van Gogh,[274] and introduced Helene Kröller-Müller to Van Gogh's art; she became an avid collector of his work.[275] The early figures in German Expressionism such as Emil Nolde acknowledged a debt to Van Gogh's work.[276] Bremmer assisted Jacob Baart de la Faille, whose catalogue raisonné L'Oeuvre de Vincent van Gogh appeared in 1928.[277][note 15]
[on turning down The Omen (1976)] My god, that was stupid. Gregory Peck got the part, but at that time there was a lot of violence in it - people impaled on things. I was pretty puritan at the time, a goody-two-shoes, I felt I'd put myself in a position where the audience trusted me. I turned down several things for that reason - either taste or violence or sex or something.
To support his religious conviction and his desire to become a pastor, in 1877 the family sent him to live with his uncle Johannes Stricker, a respected theologian, in Amsterdam.[42] Van Gogh prepared for the University of Amsterdam theology entrance examination;[43] he failed the exam, and left his uncle's house in July 1878. He undertook, but also failed, a three-month course at a Protestant missionary school in Laken, near Brussels.[44]

The sunflowers were painted to decorate the walls in anticipation of Gauguin's visit, and Van Gogh placed individual works around the Yellow House's guest room in Arles. Gauguin was deeply impressed and later acquired two of the Paris versions.[134] After Gauguin's departure, Van Gogh imagined the two major versions of the sunflowers as wings of the Berceuse Triptych, and included them in his Les XX in Brussels exhibit. Today the major pieces of the series are among his best known, celebrated for the sickly connotations of the colour yellow and its tie-in with the Yellow House, the expressionism of the brush strokes, and their contrast against often dark backgrounds.[244]
He moved to Antwerp that November, and rented a room above a paint dealer's shop in the rue des Images (Lange Beeldekensstraat).[91] He lived in poverty and ate poorly, preferring to spend the money Theo sent on painting materials and models. Bread, coffee and tobacco became his staple diet. In February 1886 he wrote to Theo that he could only remember eating six hot meals since the previous May. His teeth became loose and painful.[92] In Antwerp he applied himself to the study of colour theory and spent time in museums—particularly studying the work of Peter Paul Rubens—and broadened his palette to include carmine, cobalt blue and emerald green. Van Gogh bought Japanese ukiyo-e woodcuts in the docklands, later incorporating elements of their style into the background of some of his paintings.[93] He was drinking heavily again,[94] and was hospitalised between February and March 1886,[95] when he was possibly also treated for syphilis.[96][note 6]
I've found a home here because actors have always said, 'He's really a dancer', and dancers said, 'No, no he's a singer', and singers said, 'No I think he's an actor.' I don't know, I was never that good at anything but I did a little bit of it all. I've never studied dancing but I've always loved to dance. I never sang anywhere except the shower and it took me forever to get into the high school choir. When I auditioned for Bye Bye Birdie (1963) I did a song and a little soft-shoe and for some reason they saw I could move. And I've never studied acting - which is maybe lucky otherwise I'd just be a copy of everybody else.
The album "Songs I Like By Dick Van Dyke" was recorded on Friday, November 22, 1963. Early in the recording session, the artists and orchestra were informed of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas, Texas. In spite of the tragic news, and a deadline from Command Records that had to be met, the recording session continued to a successful conclusion - albeit in an emotionally-charged atmosphere. He said that he scarcely remembers the session because he was in such a state of shock after hearing the news.
In 1980, the company issued its first credit card and in 1985 the company introduced clearance centers attached to many of the stores offering overstocked merchandise.[3] In 2009, the company's half-centennial, Art Van Furniture was named furniture retailer of the year by Furniture Today magazine.[7] In 2013, the company made a $50 million investment in the State of Illinois to open a sequence of new establishments in the state.[8] In 2015 Patti Smith wrote about Art Van stores as a favorite hang-out of hers during the 1970s.[9] The CEO of the company is Ron Boire.[10] Art Van also operates Scott Shuptrine Interiors retail locations. In March 2017 the company was purchased by Thomas H. Lee Partners (THL) a private equity firm based in Boston.[1]
Van Gogh was a serious and thoughtful child.[25] He was taught at home by his mother and a governess, and in 1860 was sent to the village school. In 1864 he was placed in a boarding school at Zevenbergen,[26] where he felt abandoned, and campaigned to come home. Instead, in 1866 his parents sent him to the middle school in Tilburg, where he was deeply unhappy.[27] His interest in art began at a young age. He was encouraged to draw as a child by his mother,[28] and his early drawings are expressive,[26] but do not approach the intensity of his later work.[29] Constant Cornelis Huijsmans, who had been a successful artist in Paris, taught the students at Tilburg. His philosophy was to reject technique in favour of capturing the impressions of things, particularly nature or common objects. Van Gogh's profound unhappiness seems to have overshadowed the lessons, which had little effect.[30] In March 1868 he abruptly returned home. He later wrote that his youth was "austere and cold, and sterile".[31]
Van Gogh's nephew and namesake, Vincent Willem van Gogh (1890–1978),[289] inherited the estate after his mother's death in 1925. During the early 1950s he arranged for the publication of a complete edition of the letters presented in four volumes and several languages. He then began negotiations with the Dutch government to subsidise a foundation to purchase and house the entire collection.[290] Theo's son participated in planning the project in the hope that the works would be exhibited under the best possible conditions. The project began in 1963; architect Gerrit Rietveld was commissioned to design it, and after his death in 1964 Kisho Kurokawa took charge.[291] Work progressed throughout the 1960s, with 1972 as the target for its grand opening.[289]
During the last six or seven months of the year 1889, he has also created at least fifteen paintings of olive trees, a subject which he considered as demanding and compelling.[251] Among these works are Olive Trees with the Alpilles in the Background (1889), about which in a letter to his brother Van Gogh wrote, "At last I have a landscape with olives".[250]While in Saint-Rémy, Van Gogh spent time outside the asylum, where he painted trees in the olive groves. In these works natural life is rendered as gnarled and arthritic as if a personification of the natural world, which are, according to Hughes, filled with "a continuous field of energy of which nature is a manifestation".[214]

Fast food is beginning to get tastier and crisper. Children are practically weaned on MacDonalds, Wimpys, Wendys, KFCs and many more of the same ilk. Fast food outlets and chains are increasing rapidly and so is the incidence of disorders such as Attention Deficit Disorder [ADD] and Hyperactivity among children.
The fast food industry in the U.S. is a 100 billion dollar (or more) industry. In other words, the discerning epicures who cultivate the fast food culture pay out $100 billion for 'food' laced and garnished with preservatives, flavourings, sweeteners and colours of all hues. It is a100 billion dollar food additive industry. The food on the plastic plate does not come with labels listing all the ingredients that have been added to it – the tempting French fries carry no tales of the medium they have been fried in or the flavours and enhancers that have been added to them. The banana-flavoured milk shake is a cocktail of milk and amylacelate – a chemical compound with a dominant note of banana flavour.
Thirteenth April was Good Friday and the first of a four-day weekend here in the UK. I had with me two books – 'Fast Food Nation: What the All-American Meal is Doing to the World' by Eric Schlosser, and 'E for Additives' by Maurice Hanssen. I read them, one after the other, into the early hours of Saturday morning. Some books induce reflection, others introspection – but that Saturday morning I came close to a nervous seizure. I must have still been in aftershock when I cleared the refrigerator of all the food – because I have no memory of doing so.
Mad cow disease and the foot-and-mouth outbreak seemed innocent Enid Blyton mysteries compared to the 'E Thriller' I had just read. Even the dreaded E.Coli wanes before the 1500 Es that have made a silent and a deadly entry into our food products and our food chain – the last link of the food chain now being in the hands of lab-coat wearing food technologists with their supply of magic potions of E series. My thoughts and my heart go out, especially to my vegetarian friends, who have never doubted the 'Natural Flavours' in a packet of dehydrated tomato soup, and who have been gullible enough to believe that wines and the Sunday brunch Bloody Marys are vegetarian drinks. Just make sure the Worcestershire Sauce you use for your Bloody Mary has no anchovies!
'Natural Flavourings' – can be anything from a natural source – including beef, bacon, fish or poultry. As long as the manufacturer is using ingredients considered to be safe [GRAS – Generally Regarded As Safe], he is not obliged to disclose the source of the ingredients. So vegetarians have no clue whether a flavour contains fish, poultry, beef or pork. A Tomato Soup with 'Natural Flavours' is not necessarily a vegetarian delight.
For many years a well-known Fast Food company cooked its world-renowned French Fries in beef tallow. Ten years ago they changed the cooking medium to vegetable oil but the 'natural flavour' in the fries is still from 'animal products'.
'Natural smoke flavour' – is a bottled flavour.
Some fast food chains serve grilled chicken sandwich with beef extracts.
Artificial flavours are what they say they are – credit the food industry with a bit of honesty here. "A typical artificial strawberry flavour contains 49 chemical compounds."
No manufacturer of cooked meat products tells us what parts of the animal are used and how much. "There is only a blanket description – 'offal'. You could be eating unexpected parts of an animal."
animal albumin (egg albumin and dried blood powder)"
One can now appreciate the 'Vegetarian Wine' label.
Beware of cryptic chemicals and numbers. E161 is a red pigment added to chicken and fishmeal – to give the yolk of the egg and the flesh of the fish a nice, healthy colour. The poultry farmer decides how red or yellow he desires the yolk, and the quantity of E161 is adjusted accordingly. True designer eggs – but still not Faberge!
E120 or Cochineal - aka carmine, carminic acid, Natural Red 4 – is a red colour derived from crushing pregnant scale insects. It takes 70,000 insects to produce a pound of carmine. Similarly, inosine, a flavour enhancer, can be prepared from meat extracts and dried sardines.
Check your cheese. Rennet, a common additive in all cheeses, is extracted from calf stomach.
A packet of biscuits may contain 'animal fats' – which means it could be any one of the following – bacon fat, beef tallow, fish oil or lard.
The story gets more horrific as the curtain on the food labs rises. It reads like a macabre plot with a cast of villains – colours, flavours, preservatives, sweeteners, antioxidants of the wrong kind, and of course the pesticides. Food colours, especially synthetic 'coal tar' dyes and azo dyes are known to cause reactions in asthmatics and people suffering from different allergies. Meanwhile, the victims remain the children. No specific causes have been identified as yet for Attention Deficit Disorder [ADD] and Hyperactivity – yet studies and trials conducted on children, show remarkable improvements in their achievement scores, once food additives and refined sugar were eliminated from their diets. Kids are killing each other in schools – children as young as nine or ten have pulled a trigger or two on their peers. Gun laws and food laws, both need to be looked at. The effect of these chemicals on behaviour can be quite dramatic. In 1976 "the schools in New York City made a basic change in the school lunches that excluded foods with a high sugar content, as well as eliminating foods with two synthetic colouring chemicals. Within one year, the scores on standardised California achievement tests went up 8%. The school system then banned all synthetic food colourings and flavourings. The scores went up another 4%. Three years later in 1983, all foods containing BHT and BHA – chemical antioxidants - were removed from school lunches. The scores increased an additional 4%. This means that additives in school lunches are decreasing the mental capacity of children by at least 16%. "
Another study reported that two chemicals, Yellow No.5, chemically known as tartrazine, and the preservative benzoic acid, commonly found in processed foods, produced dramatic reactions in 79% of children studied.
There are over 1000 chemical food additives – many have been banned in several countries.
The bottom line is -There are no 100% safe chemicals or sweeteners.
The moral of the story is – Go Organic.

Another Rough Tax Season for IRS and Taxpayers?
February 22, 2022 Rebecca Smith
This could be another rough tax season for the IRS and taxpayers. Although this year's filing season opened January 24, 2022 (the first day the IRS accepted and started processing 2021 returns), the IRS has a backlog of prior year returns to process, and is plagued by staff shortages due to the COVID-19 pandemic and reduced funding in the last few years. Even though the majority of 2020 returns were filed electronically, many of those returns still required manual review, resulting in significant delays in the IRS issuing refunds. This was the case with millions of 2020 returns of taxpayers who received unemployment compensation and had filed before Congress passed a law that retroactively exempted up to $10,200 of 2020 unemployment income per filer (that provision has not been extended to 2021). Human review was also required for a significant number of returns on which the Recovery Rebate Credit had to be reconciled with Economic Impact Payments #1 and #2.
Similar issues are likely to affect 2021 returns, especially those where taxpayers received Advance Child Tax Credit (ACTC) payments and/or Economic Impact Payment #3, both of which must be reconciled on the 2021 return. Thus, to avoid return processing delays, it is important to include the correct amounts received when doing the reconciliation. In January, the IRS began issuing Letters 6419 (for the ACTC) and 6475 (for EIP #3) to taxpayers. These letters provide information needed for the reconciliation calculations, so be sure to provide them to your tax return preparer. Filing an accurate tax return can prevent processing delays, refund delays and later IRS notices.
Despite reduced staffing and the ongoing pandemic, the IRS projects for 2022 that they will process electronically filed returns and pay refunds designated to be direct deposited into the taxpayer's bank account within 21 days of receiving the return. While this turnaround time can't be guaranteed, the earlier you file, the better the chance of seeing your refund within that time frame. If the IRS systems detect a possible error, missing information, or there is suspected identity theft or fraud, the IRS may need to correspond with the taxpayer, requiring special handling by an employee. In that case, it may take the IRS more than the typical 21 days to issue any related refund. Sometimes the IRS can correct a return without corresponding, in which case they will send an explanation of the change(s) to the taxpayer.
To stop the filing of fraudulent returns, the IRS is prohibited by law from issuing a refund from a return where the Earned Income Tax Credit or Additional Child Tax Credit is claimed until after mid-February. However, that does not prevent taxpayers from filing their returns before then.
Taxpayers generally will not need to wait for their 2020 return to be fully processed in order to file for 2021. Therefore, if you filed your 2020 return, but the IRS has still not processed it, don't let that stop you from preparing and filing your 2021 return.
Our advice is to not procrastinate in filing your return, even though the IRS may be bogged down.
In addition to return processing woes, the IRS has had customer service problems, specifically a lack of representatives available to answer taxpayers' calls. Last tax season, because of COVID-19-related tax changes and staffing challenges, more than 145 million calls were received by the IRS phone system from January 1 to May 17–more than four times the number of calls in an average year. Alas, the IRS was able to answer only about 10% of those calls, and callers who were lucky enough to have their calls answered generally experienced extremely long wait times before speaking with an IRS employee.
The IRS encourages taxpayers to go to irs.gov to search for answers to their tax questions, but that isn't always an adequate substitute for talking to a knowledgeable agent. Those who have their returns prepared by a tax professional have the benefit of being able to contact them with questions instead of frustratedly trying to reach the IRS. Given how understaffed the IRS is currently, it's more beneficial than ever for taxpayers to have their returns professionally prepared.
