D'Artagnan left the hotel instead of going up at once to Kitty's chamber, as she endeavored to persuade him to do--and that for two reasons: the first, because by this means he should escape reproaches, recriminations, and prayers; the second, because be was not sorry to have an opportunity of reading his own thoughts and endeavoring, if possible, to fathom those of this woman.
What was most clear in the matter was that D'Artagnan loved Milady like a madman, and that she did not love him at all. In an instant D'Artagnan perceived that the best way in which he could act would be to go home and write Milady a long letter, in which he would confess to her that he and De Wardes were, up to the present moment absolutely the same, and that consequently he could not undertake, without committing suicide, to kill the Comte de Wardes. But be also was spurred on by a ferocious desire of vengeance. He wished to subdue this woman in his own name; and as this vengeance appeared to him to have a certain sweetness in it, he could not make up his mind to renounce it.
He walked six or seven times round the Place Royale, turning at every ten steps to look at the light in Milady's apartment, which was to be seen through the blinds. It was evident that this time the young woman was not in such haste to retire to her apartment as she had been the first.
At length the light disappeared. With this light was extinguished the last irresolution in the heart of D'Artagnan. He recalled to his mind the details of the first night, and with a beating heart and a brain on fire he re-entered the hotel and flew toward Kitty's chamber.
All this was of such incredible immodesty, of such monstrous effrontery, that D'Artagnan could scarcely believe what he saw or what he heard. He imagined himself to be drawn into one of those fantastic intrigues one meets in dreams. He, however, darted not the less quickly toward Milady, yielding to that magnetic attraction which the loadstone exercises over iron.
As the door closed after them Kitty rushed toward it. Jealousy, fury, offended pride, all the passions in short that dispute the heart of an outraged woman in love, urged her to make a revelation; but she reflected that she would be totally lost if she confessed having assisted in such a machination, and above all, that D'Artagnan would also be lost to her forever. This last thought of love counseled her to make this last sacrifice.
D'Artagnan, on his part, had gained the summit of all his wishes. It was no longer a rival who was beloved; it was himself who was apparently beloved. A secret voice whispered to him, at the bottom of his heart, that he was but an instrument of vengeance, that he was only caressed till he had given death; but pride, but self-love, but madness silenced this voice and stifled its murmurs. And then our Gascon, with that large quantity of conceit which we know he possessed, compared himself with De Wardes, and asked himself why, after all, he should not be beloved for himself?
He was absorbed entirely by the sensations of the moment. Milady was no longer for him that woman of fatal intentions who had for a moment terrified him; she was an ardent, passionate mistress, abandoning herself to love which she also seemed to feel. Two hours thus glided away. When the transports of the two lovers were calmer, Milady, who had not the same motives for forgetfulness that D'Artagnan had, was the first to return to reality, and asked the young man if the means which were on the morrow to bring on the encounter between him and De Wardes were already arranged in his mind.
But D'Artagnan, whose ideas had taken quite another course, forgot himself like a fool, and answered gallantly that it was too late to think about duels and sword thrusts.
This coldness toward the only interests that occupied her mind terrified Milady, whose questions became more pressing.
Then D'Artagnan, who had never seriously thought of this impossible duel, endeavored to turn the conversation; but he could not succeed. Milady kept him within the limits she had traced beforehand with her irresistible spirit and her iron will.
D'Artagnan fancied himself very cunning when advising Milady to renounce, by pardoning De Wardes, the furious projects she had formed.
"He shall die, then, since you condemn him!" said D'Artagnan, in so firm a tone that it appeared to Milady an undoubted proof of devotion. This reassured her.
We cannot say how long the night seemed to Milady, but D'Artagnan believed it to be hardly two hours before the daylight peeped through the window blinds, and invaded the chamber with its paleness. Seeing D'Artagnan about to leave her, Milady recalled his promise to avenge her on the Comte de Wardes.
"And what is that?" asked Milady.
Milady looked at her lover in silence. The pale light of the first rays of day gave to her clear eyes a strangely frightful expression.
"Who told you that I loved him?" asked Milady, sharply.
And she looked at D'Artagnan, who embraced her tenderly, with eyes which seemed to burn themselves away.
D'Artagnan tried with his sweetest smile to touch his lips to Milady's, but she evaded him.
"No, no! It is not true," said Milady, in a tone of voice so firm, and with a countenance so unchanged, that if D'Artagnan had not been in such perfect possession of the fact, he would have doubted.
The imprudent young man expected a surprise, mixed with shame--a slight storm which would resolve itself into tears; but he was strangely deceived, and his error was not of long duration.
Pale and trembling, Milady repulsed D'Artagnan's attempted embrace by a violent blow on the chest, as she sprang out of bed.
It was almost broad daylight.
D'Artagnan detained her by her night dress of fine India linen, to implore her pardon; but she, with a strong movement, tried to escape. Then the cambric was torn from her beautiful shoulders; and on one of those lovely shoulders, round and white, D'Artagnan recognized, with inexpressible astonishment, the fleur-de-lis--that indelible mark which the hand of the infamous executioner had imprinted.
"Great God!" cried D'Artagnan, loosing his hold of her dress, and remaining mute, motionless, and frozen.
But Milady felt herself denounced even by his terror. He had doubtless seen all. The young man now knew her secret, her terrible secret--the secret she concealed even from her maid with such care, the secret of which all the world was ignorant, except himself.
She turned upon him, no longer like a furious woman, but like a wounded panther.
And she flew to a little inlaid casket which stood upon the dressing table, opened it with a feverish and trembling band, drew from it a small poniard, with a golden haft and a sharp thin blade, and then threw herself with a bound upon D'Artagnan.
Although the young man was brave, as we know, he was terrified at that wild countenance, those terribly dilated pupils, those pale cheeks, and those bleeding lips. He recoiled to the other side of the room as he would have done from a serpent which was crawling toward him, and his sword coming in contact with his nervous hand, he drew it almost unconsciously from the scabbard. But without taking any heed of the sword, Milady endeavored to get near enough to him to stab him, and did not stop till she felt the sharp point at her throat.
She then tried to seize the sword with her hands; but D'Artagnan kept it free from her grasp, and presenting the point, sometimes at her eyes, sometimes at her breast, compelled her to glide behind the bedstead, while he aimed at making his retreat by the door which led to Kitty's apartment.
Milady during this time continued to strike at him with horrible fury, screaming in a formidable way.
As all this, however, bore some resemblance to a duel, D'Artagnan began to recover himself little by little.
"Scoundrel, infamous scoundrel!" howled Milady.
But D'Artagnan, still keeping on the defensive, drew near to Kitty's door. At the noise they made, she in overturning the furniture in her efforts to get at him, he in screening himself behind the furniture to keep out of her reach, Kitty opened the door. D'Artagnan, who had unceasingly maneuvered to gain this point, was not at more than three paces from it. With one spring he flew from the chamber of Milady into that of the maid, and quick as lightning, he slammed to the door, and placed all his weight against it, while Kitty pushed the bolts.
Then Milady attempted to tear down the doorcase, with a strength apparently above that of a woman; but finding she could not accomplish this, she in her fury stabbed at the door with her poniard, the point of which repeatedly glittered through the wood. Every blow was accompanied with terrible imprecations.
The young man fled while she was still threatening him with an impotent gesture. The moment she lost sight of him, Milady tumbled fainting into her chamber.


Angie Anna Stamps: Stampin up Punch art! Retiring Punches!
I decided this month for the Punching class we are going to do exclusively punch art cards! Since the envelope punch board is not retiring, I wanted to focus on some of the retiring punches!
I hope you can squeeze some time in THIS Thursday April 20th, to join in on the fun. We will meet at 10am or 6pm. Let me know if you can make it by Wed.
Also the Occasions cards class this month at the Bluffton Parks will meet at 6pm on Monday April 24th, instead of the usual Thursday. I need 5 to hold the class, so let me know if you can attend by Friday.
Here are the cards for the Punch art class This Thursday!
Now I don't work the greatest with making faces, I loved the kid faces I saw at Alex's creative corner, while hers were too cute, I wanted a little softer of facial expressions, since I also wanted to create a frame. So I looked online and copied Stampin' Ups retired set sweetie pie for my inspiration. The frame idea came from the easy peasy tutorial from Trinity Designs and used the retiring Decorative label punch. The corners are punched out using the retiring elegant butterfly punch idea from Qbee's!
The lion punch art idea came a little bit from myself as I worked with the main using the retiring Medallion punch, the eyes from a cut in half heart from the Owl punch and the paws from the retiring Festive flower punch, but mostly from Alex's creative corner, just love all of her punch art ideas!
This adorable doggie is made with of all things...the acorn punch! Thanks to Crafty Cow creations for this stinkin' cute idea!

When people are too old or ill to care for their kitties, the Room 8 Memorial Cat Foundation steps in to lend a paw.
Cat Behavior My Cat Sleeps on Me – What's Up With That?
Volunteering at Room 8 Memorial Cat Foundation in Riverside, Calif., turned Gail Shelton into a full-fledged cat person. She'd never had a cat of her own, but caring for and getting to know the kitties at the shelter quickly taught her just how expressive, funny, and unique cats can be.
"When I started volunteering, I had no idea that cats really had personalities," she says. "They're amazing -ÔÇô and watch them when they're mad. When a dog wags his tail, he's happy. When a cat wags his tail, you'd better watch out."
Shelton's animal-rescue journey started in 1996, when her mother, a caretaker at the shelter, invited her to help her clean litter boxes one day. "I've been here ever since," she says. Her husband, Jack, is a cat person, too. They bonded over their mutual love of animals and were married last March, and together they manage Room 8.
The shelter was founded in 1972 by Hettie L. Perry, also known as the Cat Lady of Pasadena. Before opening the shelter in Riverside, Perry cared for countless stray, feral, and homeless cats in her private house and barn. When Shelton's mother took over after Perry passed away in 1996, she found more than 260 cats on Perry's property, which Perry had fed and cared for using her Social Security money.
"She was a woman in love with her animals," Shelton says. "She never, ever said no to anyone."
Perry gave the shelter its distinctive name after being inspired by a children's book about a cat named Room 8. In 1952, a brown tabby took up residence in room 8 of Elysian Heights Elementary School in Los Angeles, befriending teachers and students. For more than 16 years, the cat never missed a day of class. Perry decided that Room 8 the cat would be her shelter's mascot.
While Perry's original goal for Room 8 was that "no cat would be without a home," Shelton has narrowed the shelter's focus. The majority of her 80 cats have come from elderly people entering nursing homes or individuals who can no longer care for their pets due to illness or financial concerns. More than 80 percent of the kitties are more than 10 years old, and many spend their lives at Room 8, but they are all available for adoption or sponsorship. In caring for the kitties, Shelton has the help of many volunteers, including four adults, nine special-needs adults, and 10 high school kids, who earn school credits for racking up at least 120 volunteer hours.
"I want people to know their animal is taken care of," she says. "That's where my heart is, and that's how I run it right now. When we take an animal in, if it doesn't get adopted, we will keep it for the rest of its life."
Because she rescues cats primarily from individuals' homes, Shelton has encountered many hoarding situations. She has seen more than 70 cats living in a two-bedroom apartment, for example, many of whom were still feral despite living indoors. On another occasion, she went to a hospitalized woman's apartment expecting to rescue two cats but instead found four adult cats and 12 kittens.
"When you work as a rescuer, you see so much hoarding," she says. "You definitely don't want to be that way. There's got to be a happy medium somewhere. You can't grab every single animal."
Even Hettie Perry got in trouble several times for having too many cats; therefore, Shelton tries not to judge when she encounters hoarding, and instead just does what she can to help, especially since many hoarders start off with good intentions before their pets become more than they can manage. By facing these harsh realities, Shelton has learned when to say "enough is enough," and she will not let Room 8 pass its maximum capacity of 80 cats, no matter how much certain stories tug at her heartstrings.
"I think [hoarders'] intentions are completely good," Shelton says. "I think they are trying to help, but there has to come a time when you say, 'I can't do this.' And it's really hard to do. I hit a limit of 80 cats, and it doesn't matter how sad my call is, I can't take them in because I'm full."
Animal rescue has also taught Shelton the importance of spaying and neutering. She receives many calls from people who have litters of kittens they are unable to care for, and she frequently hears the same excuse: They can't afford to have their pets spayed or neutered. She encourages people to utilize organizations that will provide financial assistance, such as Actors and Others for Animals. Shelton and her husband also trap, neuter, and release feral cats in their area.
"You can't tell me you don't spend more than $50 on kitten food and all that stuff from the time they're born to the time you find them a home," Shelton says. "There are resources out there to help you get things done, but you have to reach to find them."

Keck's Exclusives First Look: Chaz Bono's Secret Life
Now that Chaz Bono has undergone gender reassignment, he wants to become a Hollywood leading man. The child of Cher and the late Sonny Bono, who turns 44 on March 4, last acted on network TV in 1997; when he was still Chastity, Bono played a support group leader in the episode of Ellen in which Ellen DeGeneres' character came out to her parents.
Now, Chaz plays himself in the March 18 season premiere of ABC Family's The Secret Life of the American Teenager. "One of the characters [George] is questioning the validity of his child [Robie] being his because the kid doesn't share his hair color," Bono says. "The producers were looking for someone like me who doesn't have the same hair color as their parents. It's a funny scene."
Bono, who was an NYU drama major, is currently enrolled in acting classes with a newfound commitment to the craft. "Being transgender, I couldn't really identify with any of the female characters I was playing," he shares. "The only roles I really excelled at were male roles I got to play in school, but I knew that couldn't happen in the real world."
While Cher hasn't shared details with her son about her deal with LOGO to produce a new TV series, Bono says he'd be thrilled to turn up on any of his favorite shows - including The Walking Dead, Shameless and Girls. "I'm good at playing really off characters and bad people," he says. "I really want to play against type and let people see me as someone other than myself."
But producers should think twice before asking him and Cher to costar in a TV-movie about their real-life struggles, a la 1994's Tears & Laughter: The Joan and Melissa Rivers Story. "That probably wouldn't happen," he says. "It's hard to get those things made without looking cheesy. Plus, there are some healthy boundaries you don't ever want to cross."

If you have a garden, yard or outdoor space at your home then it may be worthwhile for you to invest in a set of solar garden lights. These lights offer multiple benefits for users, and are recommended for people who want an eco-friendly alternative to electric lighting. They offer many of the same benefits that electric lights offer, from providing light after dark, through to helping to protect your property once night has fallen, but they also offer a few additional benefits. Here are a few of the main benefits of solar garden lights.
The big draw of solar garden lights is that they are much less expensive for most people than wired lights would be. Putting wired lights into a garden can cost a lot of money because of the additional safety features which are needed to protect electric lights from extreme weather. There is also the additional cost and upheaval of having to lay electric wires. For a large garden, it is even more expensive to lay these wires. Because solar garden lights do not need to be wired up, nor installed by a professional electrician, it is possible to save a lot of money on these costs. Lastly, they will also save you a lot of money on your electric bill, compared to if you were to use lights which relied on mains electricity.

Q: How to show sigma instead of inter quartile range with a seaborn violin plot? I'd like to create Violinplots using Seaborn as shown here. These distributions show dotted lines for the median and the +/- interquartile range.
Would it be possible to instead show the +/- 1sigma from the distributions instead?
Their example code:
import seaborn as sns
sns.set(style="whitegrid", palette="pastel", color_codes=True)

# Load the example tips dataset
tips = sns.load_dataset("tips")

# Draw a nested violinplot and split the violins for easier comparison
sns.violinplot(x="day", y="total_bill", hue="sex", data=tips, split=True,
               inner="quart", palette={"Male": "b", "Female": "y"})
sns.despine(left=True)
plt.show()

Will produce this:

L'Oreal's Infalliable 24-Hr Matte Foundation is a liquid foundation that I would say is pretty much 'foundation-to-powder' finish, it only takes a matter of minutes after applying & blending in that it dries to a matte finish. Normally, I have found in the past this type of formula to be very thick & uncomfortable on my skin. Not to mention applying any other cream products once they've dried to a 'matte' finish, isn't the most fun in terms of blending seamlessly (clue: it doesn't). I really like the range of shades this foundation has in terms of pale skin, with my last L'Oreal experience I didn't get on so well. I have the shade '10-Porcelain' which is a really, really good match for my skin tone, hurray for no struggle with shades for once! I've even been thinking of getting his in a darker colour for when I tan as it's such a decent long-lasting foundation for the daytime! I find this lasts me throughout the day well, and as per usual only needs a quick dusting of powder midday to keep that shine at bay (damn you oily skin).
Overall, I've surprised myself & expectations with this foundation, I honestly wasn't expecting much but after seeing it used in a fair few beauty vlogs I decided to give it a go. I think it's great for a work day complexion when you have a busy/long day and want something that's long lasting without breaking the bank. I've even been thinking of getting the original Infallible foundation for days I want more of a glowy complexion, so if anyone with oily skin has tried this out then let me know how you got on with it!

Lawmakers Join Forces in Bipartisan Attempt to End USDA Kitten Testing
Meow! 100,000 taxpayers demand their money not be used to test animals
Hannah Shaw, an animal advocate known as "Kitten Lady," attends a Thursday event in the Rayburn Building on bipartisan legislation introduced by Reps. Jimmy Panetta, D-Calif., and Mike Bishop, R-Mich., to end the Department of Agriculture's scientific testing on kittens. (Tom Williams/CQ Roll Call)
By Morgan Phillips
Posted June 7, 2018 at 5:58pm
Kittens and cupcakes in the Rayburn building caused a buzz Thursday among staffers and interns, but the reason for their presence was anything but a cute ball of fluff.
For the past 50 years, the Department of Agriculture has been forcing 100 kittens each year to eat toxoplasma-infected raw meat to test their stool, according to Michigan Republican Rep. Mike Bishop.
The parasite causes toxoplasmosis and is found only in cat feces, putting the brunt of these experiments on kittens. They are needed to breed the parasite, which is then studied, according to a report by watchdog group the White Coat Waste Project. Researchers later kill the kittens because they are deemed unfit for adoption given the potential health hazards they could cause owners, according to a USDA Agricultural Research Service spokesperson.
The spokesperson called the estimation of 100 cats per year used in experiments a "serious over-estimation" and said the cats are essential to this sort of research.
The White Coat Waste Project first uncovered documentation of the experiments in May through a Freedom of Information Act request. Since then, 100,000 constituents have sent letters to lawmakers demanding action, according to Bishop.

"You spoke up, so we are stepping up," said Bishop, who recently co-sponsored the KITTEN (Kittens In Traumatic Testing Ends Now) Act along with House Agriculture Committee member Jimmy Panetta, a California Democrat. The bill demands the secretary of Agriculture end experimentation on cats that cause pain or distress.
Panetta called for oversight and transparency in the USDA and for measures to be taken to make sure there is no pain to animals anywhere in the department's experiments. Bishop stressed the importance of research in agriculture, the nation's No. 1 industry, but called on lawmakers to use taxpayers' money wisely and in the manner they want it to be used.
Hannah Shaw, known as the "Kitten Lady," brought three 8-week-old kittens to the event for attendees to play with. Shaw is a self-proclaimed animal advocate and kitten rescuer and has been at the forefront of action behind the legislation.
"I brought these kitties here today to show that kittens are cute and innocent and don't deserve to be tested on," she said.

Ex-Oklahoma lawmaker who asked Muslims if they beat their wives now running for GOP chairman
Carmen Forman
A former state legislator with a history of making controversial remarks about Muslims is running for chairman of the Oklahoma Republican Party.
Former Rep. John Bennett, of Sallisaw, made a name for himself in the Oklahoma Legislature by frequently targeting followers of Islam.
Now, Bennett, who served eight years in the Oklahoma House, is one of three candidates vying to lead the Oklahoma GOP.
In a 2014 town hall meeting, Bennett said the Islamic faith "is a cancer in our nation that needs to be cut out." He also called the world's second largest religion a sociopolitical movement intent on world domination and destruction of Western civilization.
'A redemption':Muslim leader gives prayer in Oklahoma Senate
Two years later, Bennett hosted an interim legislative study to examine the threat "radical Islam" posed the state. Legislative leaders at the time approved the study, named "Radical Islam, Shariah Law, the Muslim Brotherhood and the radicalization process" despite organized opposition from the faith community.
He also called the Council on American Islamic Relations, a Muslim civil liberties group that seeks to enhance the understanding of Islam, a terrorist organization.
Bennett did not respond to a phone call and email seeking comment on his bid for state GOP chairman. When an Oklahoman reporter tried to attend a candidate forum this week, a representative from Bennett's campaign and another candidate for GOP chair said they were uncomfortable with the press being present and the reporter was asked to leave.
Bennett is a U.S. Marine veteran and pastor of Lee Creek Assembly of God in Muldrow.
Imad Enchassi, senior imam of the Islamic Society of Greater Oklahoma City, distinctly remembers a conversation he once had with Bennett. An imam is a Muslim faith leader.
"John Bennett looked me in the eye and told me that he was going to demolish my mosque and every mosque in town," Enchassi said recently. "He looked me in the eye and told me that I was the biggest threat for the state of Oklahoma."
In 2017, Oklahoma lawmaker asks Muslims:'Do you beat your wife?'
Enchassi also attended Bennett's 2016 interim study with members of the Oklahoma chapter of CAIR.
"We came to listen about extremist groups in Oklahoma and it seemed like it only focused on the Muslims, despite the fact that Timothy McVeigh was the biggest extremist in our state," he said.
When Enchassi learned about Bennett's campaign for GOP chairman, he said he sent the former politician a message saying he hoped Bennett had grown spiritually and holistically into someone who can see Muslim Americans as coequal citizens. As of last week, Bennett had not responded, he said.
Should Bennett win, Enchassi said he his willing to work with him for the betterment of Oklahoma. However, should Bennett resume his rhetoric about Muslims, Enchassi said he's optimistic others within the party would not tolerate such language.
In 2017, Bennett asked Oklahoma Muslims to complete an 18-questionnaire before agreeing to meet with them at his legislative office during the annual "Muslim Day" at the state Capitol. Among the questions was, "Do you beat your wife?"
Additional questions asked whether the Muslims would denounce terror groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah and whether they believed former Muslims should be punished for leaving the faith. They were also asked if they agreed that Islamic law, known as Sharia law, should apply to non-Muslims.
From 2016:Groups voice opposition to state rep's proposed study on 'radical Islam'
Oklahoma's CAIR chapter called the questionnaire Islamophobic, hateful and bigoted.
When he was in the Legislature, Bennett passed legislation to allow for display of the 10 Commandments in schools and government buildings and mandated that children in public schools recite the Pledge of Allegiance at least once a week.
In a YouTube video, Bennett said he feels called by God to lead Oklahoma's Republican Party.
"We have to take the gloves off and we've got to stand and fight for our republic because if we don't stand and fight for our republic today we won't have any freedoms to fight for tomorrow," he said.
His candidacy is supported by the influential Oklahoma Second Amendment Association.
Oklahoma Republican Party chair is a contested race
Also running for state GOP chair are former state Rep. Charles Ortega and Luther Mayor Jenni White, who lost her reelection bid this week.
Ortega, of Altus, served in the Oklahoma House through 2020, until he was term-limited out after 12 years. He is a small business owner and describes himself as a conservative Christian and "Republican in mind body and soul."
In 2018, he unsuccessfully sought to become the speaker of Oklahoma's House by mounting a challenge to Speaker Charles McCall, R-Atoka.
A former teacher who fought Common Core education standards in Oklahoma, White helped found Reclaim Oklahoma Parent Empowerment, which seeks help parents advocate for their child's education needs.
An activist, White's campaign slogan is "Growing the Grassroots."
In an essay for conservative media outlet The Federalist, White said she attended former President Donald Trump's "Save America" rally in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6, but did not participate in the Capitol riot.
"Many of us at that rally felt disenfranchised, overlooked, and angry, but those I met and heard are Constitution geeks whose main interest was seeking proper redress of government through our right to assemble and have our voices heard," she wrote. "Violence from our side was the last thing we would have expected, encouraged, or participated in, ever. Never would we have thought of breaching the capitol, let alone assaulting congressmen."
Delegates to the state GOP convention will elect a new party chairman to replace current chairman David McLain on Saturday at the OKC Convention Center, 100 Mick Cornett Blvd.
State party leadership will serve a two-year term.

GST evasion of Rs 20,000 crore detected in April-February FY19: Government
The GST Council earlier this week decided to cut tax rates on under-construction apartments and affordable housing to 5% and 1%, respectively
The earlier GST rate on under-construction apartments and affordable housing was 12% and 8% with input tax credit, respectively
Get Notifications on latest News & Updates
NEW DELHI: The government has detected Rs 20,000 crore worth
GST evasion
so far this fiscal and will take more steps to check frauds and increase compliance, a senior tax officer said on Wednesday.
Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs member (Investigation) John Joseph further said the department would soon call a meeting of the representatives of the real estate sector to understand transition issues faced by the sector post reduction in
rates.
The GST Council, chaired by finance minister Arun Jaitley and comprising state counterparts, earlier this week decided to cut tax rates on under-construction apartments and affordable housing to five per cent and one per cent, respectively.
However, builders will not be able to claim credit for the taxes paid on inputs, like steel, cement.
The earlier GST rate on under-construction apartments and affordable housing was 12 per cent and eight per cent with input tax credit (ITC), respectively.
On demand for giving ITC relief to the builders of the under-construction flats which are already built but not yet sold to buyers, Joseph said the real estate sector will have to raise the issue with the urban development ministry.
"You need to talk to them (urban development ministry). As revenue department we cannot give you any benefit of subsidy to that extent," he said at an Assocham event here.
Joseph said between April-February 2018-19, GST evasion worth Rs 20,000 crore has been detected of which Rs 10,000 crore was recovered.
He said the tax officers on Tuesday detected fake invoice worth Rs 1,500 crore which was used to claim illegal GST credit of Rs 75 crore.
"We have already recovered Rs 25 crore and the rest is on the way," Joseph said.
Stating that only 5-10 per cent of the businesses are "black sheep" and bring bad name to the industry, he said the government will take more measures to increase compliance, and act against evaders in a way such that genuine businesses do not suffer.
Joseph said the government has been dynamic in rationalising tax rates since GST rollout on July 1, 2017, while increasing compliance for 1.2 crore registered businesses.
"In future, as GST moves forward, the rates need to consolidate. Across the world it is one rate, but it may not be possible for us to implement it here... because we have the poorest of the poor and the richest of the rich in the country. "What is good for the richest, cannot be the best for the poor... But five rates converging into two or three, depending on what the Council decides. This is the way forward," he said.
Currently, GST has 4-tier slab of 5, 12, 18 and 28 per cent, while essential items are zero rated.

During the worldview perspective, I really hope you can see the purpose right here
We have reached the point where even though throughout most of human history, if someone had insinuated homosexual identity or homosexual behavior, that would have led to enormous moral outrage against homosexuality. But now we have reached the point in the moral revolution in our culture, where you have people who are claiming LGBTQ identity, saying that others are actually borrowing their transgressive sexual gender bending brand for their own commercial advantage. That is really a 180 degree turn, and one we had better notice. \n","citations":[<"title":"Harry>]>,<"url":"?segment=4","title":"\u2018We\u2019re>
So that as we bring this in order to an explanation today, I want to place CNN during the mix, as CNN enjoys focus on a narrative, while recall the phrase, moving the fresh new shark? It is to the historical past regarding television. And is when a land range or a sequence has actually fundamentally only reached the conclusion any plausible story, and so they merely begin carrying out foolish stuff. Well, in this case, the new mass media is doing stupid articles, however it is essential we acknowledge the latest dumb stuff they're creating.

But this takes us to the insanity right now of so many in the media, in particular using the term pregnant people.

And if you have a womb and you are capable of carrying a baby, then guess what? You're not a man. Indeed, you are a woman. And if you don't think you are, it's not because you're being excluded.

Fulham striker Cauley Woodrow called up to England U21 side
Gavin MacDonald
England U21 boss Gareth Southgate has called up Fulham striker Cauley Woodrow to his 25 man squad for the European Championship qualifier against Wales and for the Toulon Tournament according to transfermarkt.co.uk.
The 19-year old striker has risen to fame after being given a chance in the Premier League by manager Felix Magath. The youngster impressed many with his displays for the now Championship club and is expected to be a key player in their push for promotion.
Fulham striker Cauley Woodrow has been called up to the England U21 squad
This past season he went out on loan to Southend United where he made 18 league appearances whilst scoring twice. When he returned he was playing for Fulham Reserves whilst trying to survive amongst the managerial merry-go-round that was occurring at the club.
Felix Magath became the most recent manager for the club and gave Woodrow his first chance at the Premier League. In that time he made six appearances and scored a goal against Crystal Palace in a 2-2 draw on the final matchday.
He has impressed Southgate enough to gain a place in his 25 man squad for their following fixtures and it is likely that he will play upfront either with Saido Berahino, Harry Kane, Danny Ings or Solly March.
He is expected to take part in these fixtures and will be aiming to prove the quality he has to his manager and coaches.

Nine banned from Southmead after police on horseback called in to tackle 'antisocial behaviour'
Nine people have been banned from Southmead after a spate of night-time disruptions and instances of antisocial behaviour.
Update August 31: Pictures show aftermath of 'antisocial behaviour' in Southmead as cars torched and riot vans called in
Avon and Somerset police have issued a series of 'section 35 orders' prohibiting people from the Southmead area for a minimum of 48 hours.
The orders were issued to nine people on this afternoon after several days of what police describe as "disorder and antisocial behaviour".

The constabulary was unable to give details of the precise nature of the disorder this evening.
Several riot vans and police on horseback were used to enforce the orders and so far one person has been arrested for breaching the ban.

The police say the dispersal orders are a "preventative" measure, aimed at reassuring the local community.
A force spokesperson said: "We are this evening carrying out a dispersal order operation in the Southmead area.
"This follows complaints about disorder and anti-social behaviour in the area during the past few nights.

Mass notification systems… Getting the message to the masses
By Anna Hayes
As Standards continue to morph, AV professionals have a big part to play in mass notification emergency communication systems. Anna Hayes reports.
In the event of an emergency situation, mass notification and emergency communication systems (MNECs) need to be robust and reliable, communicating the right information in a way that can be understood by everyone in the building.
Once upon a time, a building's safety system was a simple fire alarm, serviced regularly and with fire drills to educate employees on what to do and where to go
in the event of an emergency.
But different types of emergencies have called for extra, and more informative, methods of communication, and the AV market plays a large role in that, providing audio alerts and digital signage to create an end-to-end in-building safety system.
In Australia, all government and corporate buildings; healthcare, education, entertainment and transport facilities; houses of worship; pubs, clubs and hotels; and mining operations are required to have fire warning and evacuation systems installed and certified as per their respective state legislation.
Also known as an Early Warning and Intercommunication System (EWIS), a typical system consists of, and relies on, controlled audible warning signals on each level or zone. In areas of high ambient noise levels, visual warning indications are also in place.
Jim Seretis is the consultant liaison and business development manager for Australia and New Zealand with Biamp Systems, who hosted a seminar on this topic at the recent InfoComm 2019 expo.
He explains that there are two standard signals: 'Alert' and 'Evacuation' which are generally a tone or voice message.
"In the past 10 years we have seen a large reliance shift towards voice messaging and speech intelligibility to ensure building occupants can clearly understand the information and instructions provided, and respond accordingly."
He adds that EWIS/MNEC systems can also be used to distribute background music, scheduled messages, priority public announcements and more.
The markets for these systems differ greatly: the US has a well-documented history of gun-related incidents in places of high footfall, whereas Australia seems to respond to legislative requirements rather than provocative incidents.
However, Perth-based Altronic Distributors general manager Brian Sorensen says that the spate of school shootings in the US has raised interest in lockdown control in Australia, and it is an area that Altronics has branched into in recent times with its range of Redback Audio products.
Redback has built a dedicated school lockdown system which, unlike most systems that direct people to exit the building, this system is designed to keep staff and students informed without causing panic or distress.
Brian explains: "For instance, you could design the system to play a particular music track known to school staff which indicates a situation on campus grounds.
This then allows staff to make critical decisions to keep people safe."
So what are the key components of an EWIS/MNEC?
Brian says that providing the right information is crucial and speech intelligibility plays a huge part in delivering a clear message to occupants. This means having the right speakers and sound pressure level output (SPL). In hotels, there is a critical decibel audio level which is required at the bed head that then determines where a speaker is located as well as what speaker and 'power tap' is selected.
"We have seen an increase in interest in higher output speakers to simplify installation in these types of applications," says Brian, adding that they had first developed their patented One-Shot speaker installation system as a quick and easy set-up that would save time for the installers.
Systems have also moved on from simply sounding an alarm which, Brian points out, only conveys half the message.
"Combining the system with recorded messaging, through a message playback device, can ensure people remain calm during an emergency and respond in the appropriate way. We have found prerecorded messaging to be a key feature that many building and facility managers have utilised."
Another important factor is that of cabling as flame retardant products are required so that all occupants can be alerted, even if the cabling integrity on a floor is compromised by fire.
Jim believes that the key to a good EWIS/MNEC is, aptly, communication from start-to-finish, between all parties.
"It' is very important at the infancy stage of the project that very clear concise information by all parties is achieved moving forward. A successful end result is usually due to clear communication channels throughout the duration of the project, even when changes in the systems design are required or the functionality brief changes."
While it might sound simple, these systems are a complex build with a particular focus on standards and integration of products by many different manufacturers.
Jim remarks: "No one manufacturer can provide a complete end-to-end mass notification solution. Therefore, there are challenges interfacing equipment to communicate together and provide the necessary mass notification, monitoring of the systems if failure occurs, etc. This is typically resolved with proper communication between manufacturers and integrators working closely together to provide a positive outcome."
Redback's suite of products has long been focused on finding solutions for architects, designers and installers to provide audible alerts in the event of various emergencies. Brian says that Altronics tries to provide an end-to-end installation solution from audio controllers, amplifiers, speakers and even the cabling to connect it all together.
"We love talking to installers because they are the ones who really drive our product development forward. These days, where the time is lost is in compliance to the approvals. Due to the strict requirements of the approvals, some speaker models require equalisation to boost/reduce certain frequencies; ensuring speech intelligibility is not sacrificed in the system. There are also challenges in ensuring speaker cabling is compliant."
He adds that with the right products, however, maintenance on these systems should be minimal aside from messages or alert tones requiring updates.
Standards are a major factor in the design of any EWIS or MNEC. The two main standards in play in this area are AS-60849 Sound systems for emergency purposes, and AS ISO7240 Fire Detection and Alarm systems, Sound system loudspeakers, but Jim says that the recommendations and regulations continue to morph.
"This is complex and there are many parts of the standards addressing different parts of a MNEC. Generally speaking, AS-60849 is the standard most used in today's market but many will argue older or newer variants should be considered."
He adds that the plethora of varying standards, and understanding the various protocols used by different manufacturers, are the biggest challenges for integrators in this area.
Brian agrees, pointing out that the new AS ISO7240 standard has changed the landscape dramatically, particularly in the case of ceiling speakers where the approvals process for a fire speaker is now a considerable undertaking, performed by the CSIRO and under strict conditions.
"This has meant that product development is now a far longer process than it was pre-AS ISO7240. Legislated in 2015, this standard has been designed to ensure the continued operation of the announcement system in the event of a fire in the building."
He adds that Australian standards are now very close to the European regulations, pointing that the Australian standard is based on the widely used EN-54 Fire detection and fire alarm systems standard.

Isn't it funny how good form can sneak up on you? For those of us who don't actively and purposefully train (I already have a job, thanks) at some point in the season, we realize we're riding a mile or two per hour faster than usual without being winded. Or we ascend a tough climb in a slightly taller gear than before. I hope you're finding some "accidental form" about now, and that you will enjoy longer and stronger rides in the cool days of autumn that lie ahead.
Herbie Helm is a Michigan-based framebuilder (but we won't hold his home state against him) who learned the craft from none other than Doug Fattic. In addition to being the force behind Helm Cycles, Herbie participated in Doug's Bike Project in Ukraine, which endeavors to build bikes for church pastors who typically can't afford to own and operate a car in order to serve their congregants. Herbie has a great sense of the form and function of a bicycle, and Helm bikes feature uncommon elements like SON dynamo-specific dropouts and internal wiring for lights.
To helmet or not to helmet? If you leave your house on or with your bike, you probably don't think twice about grabbing your helmet on the way out the door. But what if you're hopping on a bike share bike for a one or two mile ride in the city? Unless Inspector Gadget is hanging out by the bike share dock, you're probably riding lidless. Chris Mills has a better idea: Helmet Hub. It's a solar-powered machine that will dispense a helmet that is designed to be returned after use, sanitized, inspected, and re-used. Boston's bike share is rolling them out, and they may be popping up in other cities as well.


If you don't know when contract processes are supposed to happen, they probably won't happen! One of the main drawbacks of using isolated or paper-based contract management systems is the lack of visibility of the CLM process as a whole, and that's just the beginning. On the other hand, using CLM software raises awareness of required contract processes across your enterprise and provides time and cost savings. Let's review the many ways in which CLM software helps your enterprise with scheduling of contract relationships.
Among the top excuses for contract management failure is that team members are unprepared to complete tasks. However, taking a closer look to the reasons why those team members were unprepared often reveals that they weren't informed that something would come up or that they were supposed to make room in their schedules for those processes in the first place.
This is not only a common issue with contract management but also in budgeting. When contract managers make decisions without a clear picture of the impact of those decisions in the workflows of other employees, contract managers are just making educated guesses. CLM software makes the entire contract lifecycle more visible, increases visibility of tasks relationships, makes everybody more aware of current workloads of other team members, and enables better scheduling of contract processes.
If you're relying just on email for all of the contract management needs of your enterprise, you're holding back your enterprise's ability to process and execute contracts faster. Email is not a replacement for contract management software.
No matter how much time you take to craft an email, it always remains static and no longer includes the latest revisions or edits by the time it's opened by its recipient. Additionally, how are you planning to meet the compliance requirements from Sarbanes-Oxley with your email folder?
Through the use of CLM software, you can assign tasks to more than one team member at a time, alert team members with tasks preceding or following that one, and refer to documents that are always up-to-date.
A contract process that "fell through the cracks" is one of the most common scapegoat phrases for contract managers. Prevent this issue by setting up and scheduling processes in advance so that the appropriate team members are reminded of future tasks at the time number.
Contract renewal dates that are months or years ahead are a perfect example of the application of this CLM software feature. Leaving this contract process to the very last minute creates unnecessary stress for contract managers and undermines client relationships when those clients are forced to make decisions in a short period of time. Instead, set an automated email alert two months ahead of the contract renewal date to the appropriate person and build activities in the contract lifecycle of that client to make a better contract renewal proposal, explore cross-selling opportunities, and provide appropriate review time to the client.
Simultaneously dropping a ton of assignments with the same deadline to a team member isn't a good idea. Instead of setting up somebody to potentially miss one deadline, start tasks before required prerequisites are complete. While this may sound counterproductive, it buys team members time to understand the task, set everything up to the point that the necessary input is needed, and loosen up their workload.
This is particularly true when assigning contract process to external departments or offices in a different location. Providing more lead-time to complete tasks builds rapport among team members and allows them to complete tasks with an increased attention to detail. Having that extra time contributes to better implementation of compliance processes, too.
Contract management isn't immune to Murphy's Law. It's a given that "fires" will happen at some point. The key is to empower contract managers to take actions from a pre-approved selection of choices. Instead of figuring out from scratch a solution, you can set up pre-approved processes for certain common scenarios.
Providing turnkey contingency planning to common or exceptional situations enables contract managers, particularly new ones, to make timely and better informed decisions. All of this adding to the prevention of additional loss of time, minimization of potential damages, and improved risk control.
The benefits of contract management software are clear. By showing tasks relationships, streamlining communication, automating processes, starting appropriate tasks before prerequisites are complete, and making contingency planning easily accessible, a CLM solution helps with the scheduling of your enterprise's contract processes.

Management of the Bank of Japan refused its previous promise to achieve the inflation target of 2% "approximately in the fiscal year 2019". In fact, this has become a recognition that prices are weaker in response to the monetary policy of the central bank than it previously thought.
The Central Bank did not change the inflation forecast - it still expects it to be 1.8% annually until March 2020. However, the prospects and implementation of such a forecast (and even more so the achievement of the 2% goal, which was not mentioned now) remain extremely vague. In March, core inflation, excluding more volatile prices for energy and food, was 0.5% in annual terms.
The Bank of Japan also upheld the current parameters of monetary policy and stimulation of the economy. The base interest rate is at the level of -0.1%, and the Central Bank by its interventions will continue to hold the yield of 10-year government bonds around zero and buy assets in the market totaling 80 trillion yen ($ 730 billion) per year.
Rejection of the forecast for achieving the inflation target means that the chairman of the Bank of Japan, Haruhiko Kuroda, who began to work for the second five-year term in office, now focuses on a longer-term perspective in the fight against deflation. Japan have not been able to escape from this trap for the third decade.
After assuming the presidency in 2013, Kuroda launched a cash incentive program, the scale of which increased several times. At first, he promised to bring the price increase to 2% in about two years. However, since then, the Bank of Japan has postponed this period six times. Nevertheless, the promise was repeated all the time in his statements - until the last meeting.
"We do not think that this will have any consequences for the monetary policy in the short term. But we believe that the failure to achieve the target in the financial year 2019 gives the Bank of Japan more flexibility in implementing this policy, eliminating the need for more aggressive incentives," said TD Securities strategist in Singapore. Preserving other parameters of monetary policy means that the current incentive program will continue.
At a press conference after the meeting, Kuroda said: the phrase about achieving the inflation target in the fiscal year 2019 was ruled out to make it clear to market participants that they are wrong, establishing a direct link between the change in terms and the change in monetary policy. "I think there is a high probability that we will achieve inflation of about 2% in the 2019 financial year," he added.
The Bank of Japan retained the inflation forecast of 1.3% in the current fiscal year (completed in March 2019) and 1.8% in the 2019 financial year, excluding the effect of the planned increase in the consumption tax (to increase from 8 to 10% in October 2019). Most economists, however, consider such expectations too optimistic. "The consumer price index continues to show relatively weak dynamics," Kuroda admitted.
Even a revival in the economy cannot yet stimulate inflation. In this fiscal year, the economy is likely to continue to grow at a rate exceeding its potential growth, Kuroda said. The ratio of open vacancies to the number of candidates for work was 1.54, reaching a 44-year high. Unemployment stays at the level of 2.5%. The Bank of Japan hopes that such a situation on the labor market, with a high demand for labor, will ultimately lead to higher wages, consumption and accelerated price increases.
