Beyond the
Changes in the Stratosphere
Using data from the NASA Earth Observatory, evaluate changes in ozone levels throughout the past 35 years.

The ozone "hole" is a severe depletion of the ozone layer above Antarctica that was first detected in the 1980s. The Antarctic ozone hole forms and expands during the Southern Hemisphere spring (August and September) because of the high levels of chemically active forms of chlorine and bromine in the stratosphere. These chlorine- and bromine-containing molecules are largely derived from man-made chemicals that steadily increased in Earth's atmosphere up through the early 1990s. In the last 35 years, this area has grown as large as 10.9 million square miles at it's peak (October 2015).—That's more than 2.5 times the size of the United States!
Ozone (O3) is present throughout the atmosphere in small amounts, but forms a layer in the stratosphere (the layer of the atmosphere just above the troposphere, where we are). This ozone layer helps to filter out more than 95% of the sun's harmful UV-B rays, making the earth a habitable place.
In the 1970s, scientists discovered that the amount of ozone in the stratosphere was decreasing, and although ozone levels fluctuate naturally these fluctuations could not account for such a dramatic loss. At that time, CFCs were considered to be miracle chemicals and were widely used in aerosols, refrigeration systems, and cleaning solvents. Chemists Frank Sherwood Rowland and Mario Molina began to study what happened to CFCs released into the atmosphere. They discovered that as CFCs rise high in the atmosphere, they are broken down by solar radiation releasing chlorine atoms. Under the right conditions these chlorine atoms break down ozone into oxygen (O2). This loss in ozone was found to be most severe over Antarctica in October of each year. Although this is a simplified explanation of the complicated chemical process of ozone loss, it paints a good picture of the effects humans have on the ozone layer. Drs. Rowland and Molina later shared the Nobel Prize in chemistry with another man for their work on ozone.
Once it was discovered that CFCs were contributing to ozone loss, nations around the world got together and signed the Montreal Protocol of 1987 to reduce the amount of CFCs produced. The goal of the Montreal Protocol and its amendments was to eliminate the production of CFCs in developed countries by 1996. Although the world is well on its way to CFC reduction, a significant black market for CFCs exists, slowing progress of complete CFC elimination.
Data Activity
NASA has an excellent data website called Earth Observatory that we will access for ozone data. From the Earth Observatory main page, click on Atmosphere under Visible Earth. From there, click on Ozone under Reference. Under Related Data Sets, select Ozone. We will generate an animation of ozone levels from November 1978 to September 2001 by entering the following variables under How to build animations:
Start Month: November
Start Year: 1978
End Month: September
End Year: 2001
Click Build Animation button.
(Note: due to the size of the file, the animation will take some time to load.)
Once the animation plays, you can look at it frame by frame using your right and left arrow keys. Areas on the animation that are blue in color show significant thinning of the ozone layer. Let's look at the most severe thinning of the ozone — the area over Antarctica during the month of October. For ease of viewing, we have downloaded from the Earth Observatory the October images for every five years starting with 1979.
What has happened to the ozone layer over Antarctica from 1979 to 1999 (keep in mind that the darker the blue the thinner the ozone)?
What are the causes of ozone depletion?
If peak use of CFCs occurred in the 1970s, why isn't signifcant ozone depletion seen until the 1980s?
Why does the ozone hole occur over Antarctica? (Click here for a scientific explanation.)
What impacts might the ozone hole and its resulting increase in UV-B rays have on the ocean environment? (Here are articles about the effects of UV-B on fish and phytoplankton.)
Now that the ozone hole has stopped increasing in size, predict how long you think it will take to get back to the levels of the 1970s.

After researching the fight for the 19th Amendment to the US Constitution, I uncovered 10 women that lived during this period that I found fascinating. Some of them played large parts in the struggle for the right to vote for women, others had an indirect impact on the issue. They were agitators, mothers, teachers, a traveling dancer, lecturers, a fashion designer, a cosmetics magnate, a publishing tycoon and so much more. I fell in love with their stories. I never met these historical figures in my fifth grade history class. I love learning and broadening the discussion of history to include more women.
I also took a long look at Susan B. Anthony and created two opposing views of her.

2022 Netflix African movies to watch in your leisure time
Deborah Dzifa Makafui August 28, 2022
Nigerian movie Blood Sisters. Image via YouTube
The last few years have seen significant expansion and improvement in the African film industry, from acting abilities to recognition by prestigious film institutions to generating top-tier Netflix movies. In addition, there is nothing nearly as enjoyable as seeing a great African movie. You get carried away by the lovely, warm, and clear hues and appreciate the African culture.
In order to guarantee that members receive the best movies possible, Netflix has been providing international films from all over the world, including Africa. In reality, Netflix is swiftly taking over as the major industry standard for African content creators. Because of this, most producers are making a lot of effort to get their movies on Netflix. We find it exciting that Netflix honors African films for their originality.
This is why we have decided to look at the top African movies of 2022. Netflix has amazing movies from African nations like Nigeria, Ghana, South Africa, Kenya, and others.
Image via YouTube
The first on the list is Blood Sisters. Popular Nollywood performers like Ramsey Nouah, Kate Henshaw, Ini Dima-Okojie, Nancy Isime, Uche Jumbo, and others can be seen in the short series Blood Sisters. It relates the tale of two friends who kill a man and then end up on the run, fighting for their life. The movie looks at domestic violence and other social vices in society. It was published in 2022 and is only accessible via Netflix.

In Breaded Life, a careless young guy wakes up one day to discover that nobody he knows recognizes him, with the exception of a neighborhood bread vendor. Breaded Life, a Nigerian comedy-drama film directed and written by Biodun Stephen, is a sequel to the 2016 film Picture Perfect. The movie also included native tongues besides English. However, since there are subtitles for the same, there is no issue. The movie's conclusion is when things are likely to take a significant shift.

Silverton Siege is another Netflix movie to look out for. Mandla Dube, a South African filmmaker, based his film Silverton Siege on an actual incident that took place in 1980 when three members of UMkhonto weSizwe, sometimes known as MK, an organization founded by Nelson Mandela, held hostages in a bank in Pretoria.
Kenya's Country Queen is a must-watch. After a ten-year absence, a Nairobi event director visits her village, where she must face her history and a mining corporation that threatens to demolish her house. A city girl caught between worlds is forced to return home, confront her traumatic past in order to save her town from an invading mining business, and discover herself in the process.
The 2022 Nigerian film Glamour Girls was produced and directed by Bunmi Adesoye. Nse Ikpe-Etim, Sharon Ooja, Joselyn Dumas, Toke Makinwa, and Segilola Ogidan are among the actresses who star in this Netflix original film about women who begin opulent lifestyles through escorting. While Glamour Girls was first hailed as a remake, it ultimately evolved into a reconstruction of the original tale with new characters and an altogether fresh plot, with certain actors from the 1994 film returning their roles.
Nigerian movie Man of God is a prodigal son tale featuring Akah Nnani as the prophet's son who rejects his family in order to become an Afro-jazz artist. If you're wondering whether faith-based films are exclusively American, this film argues that they most certainly are not.
The plot of "The Razz Guy" centers on Temi, an obnoxious senior executive who gets cursed and loses his ability to speak good English. He needs to figure out how to break the curse before a crucial business merger agreement. Along with Broda Shaggy, Frank Donga, and MC Lively, the movie also stars Norbert Young, Tina Mba, Ireti Doyle, Yemi Solade, Nancy Isime, Omotunde Adebowale David, Bucci Franklin, Ibrahim Suleiman, Imoh Eboh, Charles Etubiebi, and Nancy Isime.
Savage Beauty is a South African television series created by Lebogang Mogashoa. The screenplays for the series were co-written by Mogashoa, Nelisa Ngcobo, and Neo Sibiya, and were directed by Denny Y. Miller, Thati Pele, and Rea Rangaka. The narrative centers on Zinhle Manzini, a lady who, after experiencing a traumatic past, embarks on a quest to track down and wreak vengeance on the affluent and influential family that wronged her. However, innocent people suffer damage as a result of Zinhle's plan for vengeance, making it difficult and challenging. This is a must-watch.

Universal Credit will soon be introduced across Leeds. The system, which has had its fair share of controversy since the pilot schemes launched back in 2013, will come into effect on 11 October 2018 and replace the existing "legacy" benefit system for all new benefit claims. Those currently claiming benefits will not be immediately affected until the system is gradually phased in for all Leeds claimants (i.e. those on legacy benefit payments) by 2022.
A complex issue which is unique to an individual's financial and personal circumstances, this post will provide an overview on how those claiming housing costs under Universal Credit may be affected, as well as giving Leeds landlords who rent to benefit tenants a better understanding of the upcoming changes.
Universal Credit is the new way for people to claim benefits.
It works by combining all previous benefits such as working tax credits, income support, housing costs, working tax credits etc, into one simple payment which is paid monthly to the claimant.
It has been introduced as a way to free claimants from what is known as the "benefits trap", i.e. where people are discouraged from working because they are in a better financial position by being on/claiming benefits.
Furthermore, Universal Credit aims to reduce the amount of fraud and errors in the system by centralising administration work and providing each claimant with their own "work coach", potentially saving billions of pounds a year.
How does Universal Credit differ from the current benefit system?
Universal Credit gives the claimant one overall benefit payment and one place to claim it, as opposed to the current system where claimants may have multiple benefits with multiple places to claim them. In theory, the process is therefore designed to be easier and more convenient for the claimant.
Universal Credit is one overall benefit that remains with a claimant "in and out" of work. The current system means claimants have different benefits to claim depending on their employment situation.
Universal Credit is all administered by the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), whereas in the current system claimants must liaise with numerous government departments such as local authorities, HMRC, as well as the DWP.
By 2022, it is estimated that 7 million people will be affected by Universal Credit.
If all Universal Credit claims are made online, how will vulnerable claimants manage the new system?
As all administrative and payment information will be processed at county wide customer service centres, the administration burden of a "work coach" and "case manager" will be reduced their, thereby freeing up more time to assist vulnerable or older claimants with their application.
How will the housing allowance of Universal Credit get paid to the landlord?
It will remain the claimant's responsibility to ensure their landlord is paid housing costs (rent) from their Universal Credit payment. However, if a tenant falls into two months arrears (despite claiming housing costs), a landlord can request direct payment from the DWP by completing a UC47 form, otherwise known as an Authorised Payment Arrangement (APA). This can be processed without tenant/claimant consent.
Additionally, as detailed in the Autumn 2017 budget it is now easier for claimants to get an APA transferred to their landlord at any time should they wish. This may be the case if a tenant does not feel financially capable or doesn't want the responsibility of paying the rent direct to their landlord. However, a claimant can withdraw their consent for a direct to landlord payment agreement at any time. It is the role of the work coach to provide guidance regarding such matters.
All managed payments to Landlords are paid on a 28 day cycle and are always made in arrears.
What documents will a claimant require before housing costs are added to their Universal Credit payment?
1. Proof of address/residency i.e. a tenancy agreement.
2. Show liability for housing payments.
3. Show proof that payments have been made, such as through bank statements or utility bills.
How does the Universal Credit taper rate help people back into employment?
Claimants are allowed to earn £196.00 per month (as at 12.06.2018) without having their full Universal Credit allowance deducted.
However, during an assessment period (1 month) if a claimant earns anything above £196.00pm he/she is subject to the taper rate of 63%.
As such, £191.52 would be deducted from their a claimant's Universal Credit payment after earning £500.00.
As earnings rise, the taper rate reduces Universal Credit more smoothly than previous benefits until the person is self sufficient. In other words, the taper rate will reduce the Universal Credit payment until there is nothing left and the person goes into full time employment.
What if my tenant is self employed? How does Universal Credit account for his circumstances?
If a claimant declares they're self employed, they are required to attend a "gateway" interview with the DWP to establish if they are "gainfully self employed" i.e. they are carrying out a profession, trade, or vocation in expectation of profit on a regular basis.
If they are gainfully self employed and want to continue claiming benefits they will be required to report their self employed earnings each month by phone. Until earnings are confirmed, all existing benefit payments are put on hold.
The above is only a brief explanation of how the upcoming changes may affect a landlord's ability to receive housing benefit. The rules surrounding Universal Credit are always changing so to ensure you have the most up to date information please visit www.gov.uk.

President Commutes Death Sentence for Four Spies
President Lincoln responds to a late night visit by Baltimore attorney Charles J. M. Gwinn, Baltimore lawyer asking for commutation of death sentences for four convicted spies – William H. Rodgers, John R. H. Emberet, Branton Lyons), and Samuel B. Hearn. President Lincoln orders General Lew Wallace: "The, punishment, of the four men under sentence of death to be executed to-morrow at Baltimore, is commuted in each case to confinement in the Penitentiary at hard labor during the war. You will act accordingly.
Presidential aide John G. Nicolay writes home: "I have been rather expecting to make another visit to the West in September, but it is rendered somewhat doubtful by the present rush of affairs. I think Hay will be back by the middle of September, but it may take both of us to keep the office under proper headway.
I wrote you that the Republican party was laboring under a severe fit of despondency and discouragement. During the past week it reached almost the condition of a disastrous panic — a sort of political Bull Run — but I think it was reached its culmination, and will speedily have a healthy and vigorous reaction. It even went so far that Raymond, the Chairman of the National Executive Committee wrote a most doleful letter here to the President, summing up the various discouraging signs he saw in the country, and giving it as his opinion that unless something was done (and he thought that something should be sending Commissioners to Richmond to propose terms of peace to the Rebels on the basis of their returning to the Union) we might as well quit and give up the contest. In this mood eh came here to Washington three or four days to attend a meeting of the Executive Committee of the National Committee. The President and the strongest half of the Cabinet — Seward, Stanton and Fessenden — held a consultation with him, and showed him that they had already thoroughly considered and discussed his proposition; and upon showing him their reasons, he very readily concurred with them in the opinion that to follow his plan of sending commissioners to Richmond would be worse than losing the presidential contest — it would be ignominiously surrendering it in advance.
Nevertheless the visit of himself and committee here did very great good…They found the President and Cabinet wide awake to al the necessities of the situation, and went home much encouraged and cheered up. I think that immediately upon the nominations being made at Chicago (it seems now as if McClellan would undoubtedly be the nominee) the whole Republican Party throughout the country will wake up, begin a spirited campaign and win the election.
President Lincoln writes Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles: "Please find some way to relieve me from the embarrassment of this case [regarding the Smith brothers in Boston accused of fraud]. Let me have a return of the papers, with your answer by 9 o'clock, A.M. to-morrow, at which time I am engaged to see the gentlemen who now present the case."
Kansas Senator James Lane and Congressman Abel C. Wilder write President Lincoln: "he result of the massacre at Lawrence having excited feelings amongst our peoples, which makes a collision between them & the Military probable, the imbecility & incapacity of Schofield is most deplorable. Our people unanimously demand the removal of [General John] Schofield, whose policy has opened Kansas to invasion & butchery." Schofield writes President Lincoln a extensive defense of his performance:
In reply to your telegram of the 27th, transmitting copy of one received from two influential citizens of Kansas, I beg leave to state some of the facts connected with the horrible massacre at Lawrence, and also relative to the assaults made upon me by a certain class of influential politicians
Since the capture of Vicksburg a considerable portion of the rebel Army in the Mississippi Valley has disbanded, and large numbers of men have come back to Missouri:– Many of them, doubtless, in the hope of being permitted to remain at their former homes in peace, while some have come under instructions to carry on a guerrilla warfare, and other, men of the worst character, become marauders on their own account, caring nothing for the Union, nor for the rebellion except as the latter affords them a cloak for their brigandage.
Under instructions from the rebel authorities as I am informed and believe, considerable bands, called "border guards" were organized in the Counties of Missouri bordering on Kansas, for the ostensible purpose of protecting those counties from inroads from Kansas, and preventing the slaves or rebels from escaping from Missouri into Kansas.
These bands were unquestionably encouraged, fed, and harbored by a very considerable portion of the people of those border Counties. Many of these people were in fact the families of those "bushwhackers", who are brigands of the worst type.– Upon the representation of Genl. Ewing4 and others familiar with the facts, I became satisfied there could be no cure for the evil short of the removal from those Counties of all the slaves entitled to their freedom, and of the families of all those men known to belong to these bands, and others who were known to sympathize with them. Accordingly I directed Gen. Ewing to adopt and carry out the policy he had indicated, warning him, however, of the retaliation which might be attempted, and that he must be fully prepared to prevent it, before commencing such severe measures.
Almost immediately after it became known that such policy had been adopted, Quantrill secretly assembled, from several of the border Counties of Missouri, about three hundred of his men. They met at a preconcerted place of rendezvous near the Kansas line, at about sunset, and immediately marched for Lawrence, which place they reached at daylight the next morning. They sacked and burned the town and murdered its citizens in the most barbarous manner.
It is easy to see that every unguarded town in a country where such a number of outlaws can be assembled is liable to a similar fate, if the villains are willing to risk the retribution which must follow. In this case one hundred of them have already been slain, and the remainder are hotly pursued in all directions. If there was any fault on the part of Genl. Ewing it appears to have been in not guarding Lawrence. But of this it was not my purpose to speak, Genl Ewing and the Governor of Kansas have asked for a Court of Inquiry, and I have sent to the War Department a request that one may be appointed, and I do not wish to anticipate the result of a full investigation.
I believe beyond doubt that the terrible disaster at Lawrence was the immediate consequence of the "radical" measures to which I have referred. Although those measures are far behind what many at least of the radical leaders demand, they surely cannot attribute the sad result to a "conservative" policy.– Had these measures been adopted last winter, when the State was easily controlled because the absence of leaves from the brush rendered it impossible for "bushwackers" to hide from the troops, and there was a large force in the State lying idle, they might have been carried into effect with out injury to the loyal people. The large part of my troops having been called off for service in Arkansas, and down the Mississippi, and the season being favorable for guerilla operations, it may have been unwise to adopt such measures at this time. If so, they have no right to complain who have been continually clamoring for such measures, and who couple their denunciation of me with demands for more "radical" measures still, and hold up by way of contrast, as their model, the General who did not see fit to adopt such measures when they could have been carried out with perfect ease and security.

MUSICIANS FROM THE NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC
Rebecca Young, Viola
Maria Kitsopoulos, cello/piano
Rebecca Young joined the New York Philharmonic in 1986 as its youngest member. In 1991 she won the position of Associate Principal Viola. Two months later she was named principal viola of the Boston Symphony Orchestra. After spending the 1992–93 season in Boston and two summers at Tanglewood, she ultimately decided to return to her family in New York, resuming her Associate Principal position with the Philharmonic in September 1994. She can currently be seen leading the viola section of the All-Star Orchestra, a popular televised educational series about classical music.
An avid chamber musician, Ms. Young has performed with many renowned groups, including the Boston Chamber Music Society, Boston Symphony Chamber Players, New York Philharmonic Ensembles, and The Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center. She can be heard in a recording of Schubert's Trout Quintet with cellist Yo-Yo Ma, pianist Emanuel Ax, violinist Pamela Frank, and bass player Edgar Meyer on the Sony Classical label.
Ms. Young was first introduced to music at the age of two when her parents took her to the New York Philharmonic's Young People's Concerts led by Leonard Bernstein. Today, she is the host of the Philharmonic's popular Very Young Peoples Concerts, intimate chamber music concerts where she has tap-danced, played drums, ridden a scooter around the stage, and even sung Gilbert & Sullivan. Her philosophy is less to educate than, as she puts it, "to make the audiences have so much fun they want to come back!"
Cellist Maria Kitsopoulos comes from a musical family — her mother being an opera singer, one brother a conductor, and her other brother a composer. She was a finalist in the first Emmanuel Feuermann Cello Competition and a prizewinner in the National Society of Arts and Letters Cello Competition, and she won fellowships for study from the Aspen and Tanglewood music festivals. She received her bachelor's, master's, and doctor of musical arts degrees from The Juilliard School where, upon graduation, she was awarded the Peter Mennin Prize for Outstanding Leadership. Her teachers have included Jerome Carrington, Ardyth Alton, Scott Ballantyne, Harvey Shapiro, and Aldo Parisot.
Before joining the New York Philharmonic, Ms. Kitsopoulos was an active performer of contemporary music with groups such as Ensemble Intercontemporain, Music Mobile, Guild of Composers, and Continuum, with whom she appeared as soloist in the New York Premieres of works by Leon Kirchner, Valentin Silvestrov, and Chinary Ung. As a member of the popular four-cello ensemble CELLO, Ms. Kitsopoulos performed music commissioned by that quartet — including works by Peter Schickele, Meyer Kupferman, and Reza Vali — at the Kennedy Center, Lincoln Center, and Merkin Concert Hall, as well as at colleges and universities throughout the United States. In addition she performed in Broadway productions and Community Concerts.
In the spring of 1996, Ms. Kitsopoulos earned a position with the New York Philharmonic. She has since performed chamber music with fellow New York Philharmonic musicians as well as guests including violinists Nikolaj Znaider and Leonidas Kavakos and pianists Emanuel Ax and Yefim Bronfman.
Ms. Kitsopoulos performs on a 300-year-old cello made by Carlo Giuseppe Testore. She previously served on the faculty of Juilliard. An active recording artist, she has recorded for Musical Heritage Society, Angel Records, Deutsche Grammophon, Columbia, Mogul Entertainment, and MK Records. In September 2012 she performed the Prelude from Bach's Suite No. 1 for Unaccompanied Cello on an episode of The Colbert Report.

Disguised-Sale and Partnership Liability Allocation Rules Issued
By Alistair M. Nevius, J.D.
Partnership & LLC Taxation
Allocations & Substantial Economic Effect
The IRS on Tuesday issued final, temporary, and proposed regulations providing guidance on partnership disguised sales and allocation of liabilities.
The final regulations (T.D. 9787) address disguised sales of property by or to a partnership and allocations of excess nonrecourse liabilities to partners, which may be disguised sales.
The temporary and proposed regulations (T.D. 9788 and REG-122855-15) cover allocation of liabilities and recognition of obligations when determining if a liability is a recourse partnership liability under Sec. 752.
Editor's note: The regulations issued in T.D. 9788 were identified as burdensome by the Treasury Department in July 2017 and are being reviewed for possible modification or withdrawal. See "Treasury Identifies 8 Regulations as Burdensome."
T.D. 9787 finalizes proposed regulations that were issued in 2014 (REG-119305-11), with some changes in response to comments. In response to a comment that the IRS's guidance regarding a partner's share of partnership liabilities should apply only for disguised-sale purposes, the IRS has reconsidered the rules in Prop. Regs. Sec. 1.707-5(a)(2) and instead of finalizing that section, has issued temporary and proposed regulations that cover that issue.
Disguised sales
Sec. 707 is intended to prevent partners from recharacterizing a sale or exchange of property as a contribution to the partnership followed by a distribution by the partnership, which could avoid or defer tax on the transaction.
There are several exceptions to this disguised-sale rule, including the debt-financed-distribution exception, which provides an exception for a distribution to the extent it is traceable to a partnership borrowing that is allocable to the partner. Other exceptions from disguised-sale treatment are found in Regs. Sec. 1.707-4, which, among other things, excludes from disguised-sale treatment payments that qualify as reasonable guaranteed payments to a partner. The regulations introduce an ordering rule for determining which payments may be excluded from disguised-sale treatment by providing that the debt-financed exemption applies first, with any remaining amounts tested under Regs. Sec. 1.707-4.
Another change in the rules is to the treatment of preformation capital expenditures under Regs. Sec. 1.707-4(d), which is amended to address three issues. First, the regulations provide how the exception for preformation capital expenditures applies in the case of multiple property transfers. In addition, the rules clarify the definition of "capital expenditures" for purposes of this exception. The regulations also provide a rule coordinating the exception for preformation capital expenditures and the rules regarding liabilities traceable to capital expenditures. To the extent a partner financed a capital expenditure with a borrowing, and economic responsibility for that borrowing has shifted to another partner, the exception for preformation capital expenditures will not apply. This rule has been broadened in the final regulations to include any qualified liability under Regs. Sec. 1.707-5(a)(6).
The regulations also clarify certain other exceptions to the disguised-sale rules, as well as how those rules apply to tiered partnerships.
The final regulations also address allocation of a partnership's excess nonrecourse liabilities to partners for disguised-sale purposes under Sec. 752.
Allocation of liabilities
The temporary regulations require a partner to apply the same percentage used to determine the partner's share of excess nonrecourse liabilities under Regs. Sec. 1.752-3(a)(3) (with certain limitations) in determining the partner's share of partnership liabilities for disguised-sale purposes. T.D. 9788 also contains temporary regulations providing guidance on the treatment of "bottom dollar payment obligations" under Sec. 752.
The proposed regulations incorporate the text of the temporary regulations and also make various changes to the 2014 proposed regulations in response to comments received regarding rights of reimbursement, arrangements to circumvent or avoid an obligation, deficit restoration obligations, exculpatory liabilities, and net value.
The final regulations under Sec. 707 apply to any transaction with respect to which all transfers occur on or after Oct. 5, 2016. The final regulations under Sec. 752 apply to liabilities that are incurred by a partnership, that a partnership takes property subject to, or that are assumed by a partnership on or after Oct. 5, 2016, other than liabilities incurred by a partnership, that a partnership takes property subject to, or that are assumed by a partnership pursuant to a written contract in effect before that date.
The temporary regulations are effective Oct. 5, 2016, and their provisions have various dates of applicability. The proposed regulations will generally be effective when they are published as final regulations, but partnerships and their partners may rely on them before they are finalized. However, the rules in Regs. Sec. 1.752-2(k) (regarding the effect of obligations of a disregarded entity on a partner's share of recourse liabilities) still apply to disregarded entities until the proposed regulations are published as final regulations.

This just in: Baby steals World Theatre Day!
So, since this is a theatre blog, I suspect that you probably thought there'd be at least some content on the blog yesterday (March 27) in honour of World Theatre Day, but no. There was a *cough* technical glitch. Okay, well, by technical I guess what I really mean is, I ran out of time and energy thanks to a wee babe.
I suppose this is the time to wax poetic about the status of theatre in the world these days, or, in Toronto, since I really don't have experience with enough theatre anywhere else. The thing is, I've actually been out of the theatre scene in Toronto. I had to stop going during the end of my pregnancy (walking in and out of plays to go to the bathroom is frowned upon), and I honestly haven't had time to do much at all with a newborn around.
It`s been pretty fascinating actually. I`ve been out of the game for 4 months or so, which doesn`t sound that long. But I actually feel completely out of touch. I feel like I no longer know anything about the Toronto theatre scene. It`s been an interesting lesson in how disconnected from theatre one can feel if they`re not *in* the scene. I guess it just highlights the problem of theatre feeling inaccessible and insular.
I wish I had a magic answer to that. I keep thinking if I won the lottery there`s so much I could do that would be fun and useful and maybe, just maybe, make a start at the idea of theatre for the masses again. But really, not pinning my hopes on the 1 in 17000000 chance of winning (possibly even a smidgen less since I don`t tend to buy lottery tickets).
So, what should we do? What can we do? How do we get people to agree to a plan of action, because I'm pretty sure this isn't something that one or two companies can do on their own.
What do you think? Any brilliant ideas?

Real Guillotine Operators Sever Heads Every Day
by Lillian Stone
"If you consider yourself a writer, you must write every day." — often-shared writing advice
Let me be frank: Real guillotine operators sever heads every day. Seven days a week. As a longtime guillotine operator, when I'm not severing heads, I'm thinking about severing heads. If you're not severing heads every day, you're probably not serious about your craft.
My number one piece of advice to emerging guillotine operators? Consistency. Severing heads is partially about skill, but it's mostly about hard work. That's why I practice Morning Heads. I get up, I make my coffee, and I sever at least five heads every single morning. It doesn't even have to be a full decapitation – you can just saw through a little bit of gristle and leave the heads dangling.
If you're dreading getting up in the morning to sever heads – or if you simply don't have the energy to get up at 5 a.m. to slice carotid arteries because you're busy caring for children or working a minimum-wage job – this occupation probably isn't for you.
Severing heads should always come naturally. Amateur guillotine operators get something called "head block," but that goes away as you get better at your craft. At this point in my career, I deliver swift, bloody death after swift, bloody death, and it never feels like a slog. Not even when it's raining outside or the doomed man betwixt my blades is screaming for his life.
Cutting off the brain's source of oxygenated blood is more than a job. It's an art.
That being said, it's important to avoid comparing yourself to other guillotine operators. It's true what they say: Comparison is the thief of joy. Severing heads is also the thief of joy, but in a different way.
Another piece of advice: Sever heads immediately when inspiration strikes. That's why I keep my favorite guillotine — very tall, very sharp — next to my bed at night. When I receive a visit from the Headless Muse, I'm able to sit up in bed, coax an unsuspecting lamplighter into my dwelling, and lop his head off good and proper. I also carry a pocket-sized guillotine so that I can chop stray bits — an ear here, a ringlet there – when I'm on the go. It's all about consistency.
For me, severing heads isn't about making money. It's a divine calling. I would do this for free. Actually, when I was just starting out, I DID sever heads for free. I did it for the exposure. That's how word got around about my signature guillotining method, which involves an initial half-chop — extremely painful — followed by a bout of menacing laughter and a final, deadly chop. Now, when someone needs a head severed in a way that's efficient yet horrifying to behold, they know exactly who to call.
Once again, this isn't work — it's art. I mean, sure, you might be physically operating a guillotine, but for what? To serve the needs of the ruling class? You should be severing heads for yourself and yourself alone.
You've probably heard it before: "Find what you love and you'll never work a day in your life." Well, that's how I feel about the vibrant squirt of thick, milky blood that shoots from a freshly whacked neck.
You want to succeed in the head severing business? You gotta have heart. You gotta fall down seven times and get up eight. And most importantly, you gotta wipe the brain matter off of the guillotine after every single beheading. Do not skimp on this.
So, are you ready to jumpstart your career as a guillotine operator? For the next two weeks, I'm challenging myself to sever 500 heads a day. The streets will run red with blood and cerebral fluid, the town wives will wail with despair, and the blades of my death machine will dull as I slice through countless spinal cords. Join me, won't you?
Still not feeling motivated? To be honest, you may want to look into a less demanding profession. Have you ever thought about writing?

Q: Recursive script in bash to convert photos to videos I am not a shell expert and I would like to know how to write a small algorithm (I think it is possible) to solve my problem.
I have an output directory which itself contains several folders for example data_1 , data_2, etc. These folders also contain different versions, for example version_1, version_2. And finally these versions all contain an image folder photos which contains several thousand images in the form 000001.jpg, 000002.jpg, ...
I'm looking to convert all these photos folders into a video that takes the photos frame by frame. For example for the 2nd version of the dataset data_1 I will do the following commands:
ffmpeg -i data_1/version_1/photos/%6d.jpg data_1/version_1/data_1_ version_1.mov

rm -r data_1/version_1/photos

But this implies that I have to rewrite by hand the command once the program is finished for a folder by changing the folder names and also the .mov file which must imperatively be of the form data_version.mov and saved at data/version/data_version.mov.
I would like a script that automates this procedure by going through all the data folders to create the videos BUT also by checking that if the video exists the script is not run on the current version.

Hottest 100 Aussie Craft Beers Of 2019: Analysis
January 25, 2020, by Crafty Pint
For the first time this year, we provided a fair bit of analysis as the results were coming in, digging deep into the poll's twelve year history as we did so. You can find that here if your beer nerd desires can't be sated by our analysis of this year's results below.
The twelfth Hottest 100 Aussie Craft Beers poll – and the first since GABS and the H100 were sold to new owners – threw up plenty of familiar faces, rather less new entries than recent years, and the usual array of interesting stories once you delve a little deeper and place the results in context of past Hottest 100s. So, here we go, into the fray once more...
Stone & Wood's Tubthumping Champ
In the words of Chumbawumba: "I get knocked down, but I get up again."
Exactly a decade ago, a beer called Draught Ale from Byron Bay's recently-launched Stone & Wood made it into The Local Taphouse's second Hottest 100 Aussie Craft Beers poll. The beer has since changed its name and so too has the poll but Pacific Ale hasn't left the countdown since.
The following year, 2010, the beer made it into the podium in third, before moving into top spot for the first time in the Hottest 100 Aussie Craft Beers of 2011. It was a brief reign, with Feral's Hop Hog ruling the roost for the next three years as Pacific Ale bided its time for a return to the top in 2015 and 2016. Now, after coming second to Balter XPA for the past two years, the game-changing beer has stepped up again – and we're told it was a fair distance ahead in first too.
It's not the only beer with staying power, either: Bridge Road Brewers' Beechworth Pale Ale, Victoria's highest ranked beer in the 2019 poll, has featured in almost every almost H100 since they started, and has now spent four years in the top ten. Further down the table, hats off to Thirsty Crow – the Wagga Wagga brewery's Vanilla Milk Stout has been a fixture in the top 100 since 2011.
The Ex-Indies
Feral brewer and goose whisperer Will Irving.
Four years ago, Pirate Life made a stunning debut in the Hottest 100 of 2015, with the brewery's IIPA and Pale Ale nabbing third and fourth respectively. The following year, the results were even better, with IIPA, IPA and Pale Ale all featuring inside the top ten.
It was a different story for the first poll following the brewery's sale in November 2017: Mosaic IPA was the only Pirate Life beer in the top ten at number six, though three other beers made the top 25. Last year, four Pirate Life beers made the cut, the highest at a relatively lowly 30. Now, despite the fact they're releasing more different beers than ever before in a vast range of styles – and selling more beer than ever too – they've missed out on the top 100 entirely.
One of the year's two big acquisitions, Green Beacon, saw their Windjammer IPA drop 73 spots, while the other, Balter, lost the top spot they'd held for two years. Yet Balter also became the first brewery since Murray's in 2010 to land eight beers in the top 100. Certainly, the Gold Coast brewery's "fall" – if it qualifies as such – has been softer than most former indie brewers in the poll, a sign perhaps of their reach well beyond the pointier end of the craft beer industry. However, it does appear that, as with Beer Cartel's annual Australian Craft Beer Survey, independence does matter to many drinkers.
It was a good year for two of the ex-indies who've been part of bigger breweries for a number of years, especially Feral. The WA brewery helped change the face of craft beer in Australia – look at the early years of the H100 alone and you'll find a mixed ferment sour from them back in 2010, with other early entries from their Swan Valley brewpub including a barleywine and barrel-aged beers.
With Biggie Juice now in cans – and the beer the brewery is getting behind more than any other (not to mention brewer Will Irving's highlight of the past decade) – it's seen them rocket back into the top ten. When brewers decide to sell they often talk about the liquid being the only thing that matters; in the case of Biggie Juice, they've nailed a style that's dominated craft beer circles for the past couple of years and are reaping the rewards.
And, after dropping out of the 100 for the first time ever in 2018, Mountain Goat are back. That the beers to bring them back – their GOAT lager and Summer Ale – are a far cry from the sort of IPAs and other Rare Breeds that used to litter the poll – and which they still brew with aplomb at their Richmond HQ – is likely a reflection of the wider audience into whose hands Asahi have put the Melbourne pioneers.
It's arguably the biggest gripe of the many that have grown up around the Hottest 100 over the years: that it's become the domain – at least at the upper end – of the bigger breweries with bigger marketing budgets, or at least those that focus their attention on the poll. And, certainly, getting out the vote plays a role and may well help explain the relative familiarity of the 2019 list: there were just 30 new entries this year compared to 44 in 2018 and more the year before.
If you follow a fair few breweries on social media you'll have seen plenty of H100 related posts, many of them focusing on a brewery's flagship beer. In the case of Your Mates, the Sunshine Coast operation that hit number five with their Larry Pale, they were quick off the mark with the above image hitting their socials as soon as the poll opened.
In recent years, BentSpoke have put stickers on their packs asking people to vote, venues have cottoned onto inviting guests to vote for them while they're at the bar – the people behind Beach Beer Bondi had the voting page ready for attendees at their Bondi Bowlo events, for example. And, having decided to get involved again after not taking part in 2016, Coopers have steadily improved their showing.
In short, making an effort to do well in the poll and activating your audience works. Or at least, it can: how many breweries that tried to guide their fans haven't made the 100 or its upper echelons? And, given this is, as much as anything, a popularity vote – one that has been shown to have ongoing marketing benefits as well as attracting mainstream media coverage – why wouldn't more popular brewers want to get out the popular vote for their most popular beers?
As we've said in the past, if anyone is serious about getting a deep and broad understanding of the best beers on the market, there are plenty of sources: our annual Best New Beers features or blind tastings (when we have time for them...); beer awards like the AIBA and Indies plus smaller state-based affairs; rating apps and websites; the friendly staff at your good local bar or bottleshop; the list goes on. Understand what each can tell you, add in the Hottest 100, and you'll be well on your way to a fridge full of deliciousness.
It's also not that easy to stick around from year to year. While breweries have been able to shoot into the list after a good year of campaigning, not all enjoy longevity. Darwin's One Mile had a phenomenal year in 2018, with four beers in the 100 yet haven't made the list this year, and it's a similar tale for The Welder's Dog, from northern NSW, who appeared no less than three times in 2018.
The New Powerhouses
Before BentSpoke launched, the country's capital was best known on the beer front for the Wig & Pen Tavern, where BentSpoke co-founder Richard Watkins (pictured above with partner and co-founder Tracy Margrain) helped them win two AIBA Champion Brewery titles. It was a tiny operation well worth visiting, but one only really known to the beer cognoscenti.
Roll forward a few years and, thanks to BentSpoke and Capital, Canberra has locked down 12 percent of the 2019 Hottest 100. That's some shift.
It doesn't pay to give too much attention to how far Victoria has fallen over the past decade as the Hottest 10 used to be a poll centred on a pub in St Kilda, but the rise of the Gold Coast and, increasingly, the Sunshine Coast are as worthy of note as ACT's rise. We've talked plenty about the phenomenal turnaround in the beer scene in Queensland – first the South East but now more widely – but for Gold Coast brewers to take out 15 spots, spread across five breweries, and the Sunshine Coast a further nine, across four breweries, is quite something.
On the flipside, Tasmania's busy and vibrant brewing scene remains on the outside – none of their brewers managed to break the top 200, although we're told less than fifteen of them registered their beers. And there are plenty of much-loved, highly-hyped, top quality brewers out there who are notable by their absence: Otherside, Rocky Ridge and Cheeky Monkey from WA, Hawkers, Boatrocker, Two Birds, 3 Ravens, Holgate and Deeds from Victoria, Sauce, Wildflower, and ... you get the message.
Changing Tastes
Unless you want to count Ballistic's Oaked XPA, a beer that's fermented on oak chips, we've not seen a barrel-aged beer in the Hottest 100 since 2016. And where are the farmhouse styles? The dark beers (just three in the 100)? The reds? The Old World-inspired?
As the craft beer world has evolved and twisted itself into ever weirder shapes in recent years, new styles, hybrids and bastardisations have appeared in greater numbers while many traditional beers have fallen by the wayside. Above all else, hops have become king (well, queen – it's only female hop cones that are used in beer), something that's been reflected in the H100s of recent years. This year, around three-quarters of the beers have hops playing a leading role.
But, after years of people talking about craft lagers having their day, there's evidence that might be happening; the eleven lagers of one form or another in the top 100 is more than twice the 2018 figure, while there were just two in 2015/16 and one in 2014.
Similarly, while it's a less dramatic rise than lagers, the appearance of six sours continues a slow upward trend. Interestingly, we counted twice that number across all styles that feature fruit or spice in one form or another.
So, yes, while in some ways the list is changing less and becoming increasingly homogeneous in terms of styles, it does hint at the ripples on the edge of the beer scene.

Inmates escape from correctional center
LEBANON (AP) — Authorities in southwestern Ohio say two inmates serving time on drug charges have escaped from the Community Correctional Center in Warren County.
They were reported missing early Friday from the facility in Lebanon, about halfway between Cincinnati and Dayton. Sgt. Ryan Saylor of the Warren County Sheriff's Office tells WCPO-TV it's not clear how the men escaped.
Saylor says they were held in different parts of the facility but apparently left at the same, and authorities don't know if they're together. Officials say 34-year-old James Warren Adams III and 23-year-old Logan Michael Lee Fithen were wearing CCC-branded clothing when they disappeared. Authorities say they men will face additional charges for escape.
Former police chief accused of misusing donations
WILMINGTON — Officials say a former Ohio police chief used donations that were meant for a police K-9 on himself.
The Ohio Auditor's Office announced Thursday Clinton Brown has been indicted by a grand jury on felony theft of office.
Auditor Dave Yost says donors gave more than $14,000 to the New Vienna Police Department K9 Fund in 2017, an account set up in Brown's name so he could purchase a police dog.
New Vienna Mayor Kathi Stone later requested state officials to investigate how the money was spent.
Yost's office says Brown acknowledged spending some of the money on clothing, food and gas.
He resigned as village police chief in December 2017.
Yost's office says the village discovered outstanding bills of more than $3,000 after Brown resigned.
Mail carrier dies after minivan hits truck
WADSWORTH — The State Highway Patrol says an Ohio mail carrier was killed on his route when a minivan hit the back of his U.S. Postal Service truck as he pulled into traffic and he was partly thrown from the vehicle.
Troopers say 59-year-old Randy Irwin, of Macedonia, died at the scene of the Wednesday afternoon crash on state Route 94 in Wadsworth Township, roughly 30 miles (48 kilometers) south of Cleveland.
Investigators don't believe drugs or alcohol was a factor in the crash.
They say the 31-year-old Doylestown woman driving the van suffered minor injuries and was treated at a hospital.
Authorities say she was wearing a seat belt, but Irwin was not.
9 killed on roads during holiday weekend
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) — The State Highway Patrol says nine people were killed in traffic crashes around Ohio during the Christmas weekend.
The patrol says three people died in drug or alcohol related crashes during the five-day holiday period that began last Friday.
It also says three fatalities were related to the lack of seatbelt usage.
During this year's Christmas travel period, troopers arrested 404 drivers for operating a vehicle while impaired. They also made 164 drug arrests and issued 635 safety belt violations.
3-week-old elephant dies at Ohio zoo
POWELL — The Columbus Zoo and Aquarium says an elephant born three weeks ago has died.
The zoo says the female Asian elephant died Wednesday after a sudden illness.
The zoo's veterinary team says that the elephant appeared sluggish Wednesday morning and was found to have an infection. The team gave her fluids, antibiotics and blood plasma from her mother.
She initially seemed to rebound but then her health declined again.
The zoo had not yet named the elephant who was born on Dec. 6. It was the first elephant birth at the zoo in almost 10 years.
The elephant was born to a 31-year-old Asian elephant named Phoebe who was artificially inseminated with sperm from two elephants, one at the Columbus zoo and one at another zoo.
Fiona hits big milestone
CINCINNATI — The Cincinnati Zoo is celebrating another milestone for its famous premature baby hippo.
The zoo said Wednesday that Fiona has hit 1,000 pounds (454 kilograms).
The zoo acknowledges reaching that weight mark is more of a sentimental milestone since full-grown female hippos weigh about three times that. Senior keeper Jenna Wingate tells WVXU radio that it's "a big deal" because the zoo didn't know whether she would survive at birth.
Born nearly two months early in January 2017, she was 29 pounds (13 kilograms). That's about a third the size of a typical full-term Nile hippo. She also was unable to stand or nurse.
A zoo staffer hand-milked her mother Bibi, and Smithsonian's National Zoo helped develop a special formula. Nurses from Cincinnati Children's Hospital put in a hippo IV.
Cincinnati looks to sell historic showboat
CINCINNATI (AP) — Show the money, get a showboat.
The Cincinnati Enquirer reports the city is looking to sell the Showboat Majestic, a 95-year-old riverboat that was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1989.
Cincinnati's parks department says the cost to maintain the old riverboat is too high, at some $100,000 a year. The boat's floating theater hasn't been used regularly for years.
It was previously for sale in 2014. A later proposal to move it across the Ohio River to Newport, Kentucky, didn't work out.
The boat built in Pittsburgh provided entertainment to riverside communities for decades. Cincinnati paid $5,000 for the boat back in 1967, obtaining it from Indiana University.
The newspaper reports the city plans to list the riverboat on an online government surplus auction site.

I tried to accomplish this look in a worksheet to get it to be dynamic, but no such luck with current required view. A dashboard view will work just fine, but currently it requires too many filter adjustment for the end user. In this mock up report there are 5 applications and 5 summary boxes that explain that app (Total (counts all months showing), 3m AVG (last 3 months showing average) and Trend (compares previous month to the last 3 month average and determines if it is up, flat or down).
The problem I have is that the real data has 20 applications to pick from and will continue to grow. Change the apps is easy and I want the user to be able to do that, but each summary box needs to be changed to match that new app selected. This is not ideal.
Looking for a way to link the summary box to that individual application. When it changes the summary box changes to the new one selected or added. If it goes from 5 to 4 in this view it knows to remove the 5th one and just show 4 applications and 4 summary box that all link up.
Thanks for the post. i'm not able to open that workbook for some reason, but thanks for posting the screen shots. I may be missing something, but I don't think this accomplishes what I was thinking.
In this example each direction box/summary box represents each app (of 5) in this data set. When I filter Reliability impact and choose app6 and deselect app 5 I want the summary box to the right to change to app 6 summary box. If I want to change app1 to app 7 the summary box would change with it. All while keeping this view of vertical bars and summary/arrow indicator to the right.
Thanks for quick response Jim.
At work I use desktop Tableau 10. Don't see an option to upgrade versions and don't see the set action option. At home I use public version of tableau, so I can look at updating to that version. Do you have instructions on how I would accomplish this in Tableau 10 desktop, as that's the version I need to be running it in.

b. If any probationary direct recruit official is unable to clear the tests held at the PTCs/RTCs in his/her first attempt, he/she may be given two more additional chances to pass the tests. These three chances (including first chance during training) may be provided within the two-year mandatory probation period. Such officials should not be posted to any sensitive post during this period.
c. Before the third chance is given to an official, who has failed in first two attempts, he/she should be given a written warning to the effect that his/her failure in mandatory tests does not justify his/her confirmation in the service and that, unless he/she shows substantial improvement within a specified period and clears the test, the issue of terminating him/her from service shall be considered.
