On August 21, 2015, the Louisiana First Circuit Court of Appeal granted a writ application filed by The Monson Law Firm attorneys Sarah Murphy Barro and Laura Abel, ruling that the Lighthouse Property Insurance Corporation's policy did not provide insurance coverage for the plaintiff's claims. In the case of "Michelle Petsch v. Geanne Petsch, Peter Petsch and Lighthouse Property Insurance Corporation," plaintiff, the daughter of the insured, lost several toes while operating a lawnmower on her parents' premises. Plaintiff claimed that she was a resident of another premises. The Louisiana First Circuit Court of Appeal overturned the trial court's denial of Lighthouse's Motion for Summary Judgment, holding that because plaintiff also maintained a residence at her parents' property, she was an insured under the policy and her claims were excluded from coverage.

Will The G20 Tax Plans Decrease The Number Of US Incorporations?
Ankur Shah

Most G20 economies are currently recovering, and they will need to establish the circumstances for strong, resilient, and inclusive economic development in the future, which will be critical in maintaining government finances, according to the OECD. Governments' measures to adapt to these changes often include tax policy.

Finance ministers from 20 of the world's largest economies agreed on Saturday to set a minimum tax rate of 15% on corporate income and to restructure how some taxes are collected to reflect the modern digital economy, advancing President Biden's priority of preventing multinational corporations from shifting profits to low-tax countries.
It seems clear that the G20 tax plans go way beyond targeting Google and Apple - and the ramifications could reverberate for decades if implementation is successful. President Joe Biden has said that the G20 tax proposal might be diplomacy in order to transform the global economy by delivering for the people.
Judging from the uptake in reviews as well as the recent performance of Zen Business, now does seem like a good time to start a business. If you are starting a business in today's economy it is important to understand what the G20 tax plans entail.
1. G20 Tax Plan Explained
2. The Effect On Current US Corporations
3. The Impact On Future Incorporation
4. Final Thoughts
G20 Tax Plan Explained
Companies with annual revenue of more than 750 million euros ($865 million) will face a minimum tax rate of 15%, while a smaller group of the largest multinationals — those with annual turnover of more than 20 billion euros ($23 billion) and profit margins of more than 10% — will be required to pay taxes in the countries where their products or services are sold. The G-20 leaders agreed to seek to have the regulations in place by 2023.
The Biden administration has been working to complete the global tax agreement, which may be required to fund the social spending and climate bill that it is attempting to pass through Congress despite difficulties in gaining support from key Democratic senators for proposals to raise domestic tax revenue. Biden tried unsuccessfully to raise the corporation tax rate from 21 percent to 28%, and then offered a 25% compromise. The tax rate was reduced from 35% to current levels by the Trump administration.
The Effect On Current US Corporations
The business tax floor will be implemented in 2023. Countries will also have more leeway in taxing multinational corporations operating within their borders, even if they have no physical presence. The proposal, which is anticipated to affect digital powerhouses such as Amazon and Facebook, will affect companies with global sales of more than 20 billion euros (£17 billion) and profit margins of more than 10%. Any profits they produce above the ten percent level will be reallocated and taxed in the countries where they were generated. "This is a broad agreement that assures that our international tax system is fit for purpose in a globalized world economy," OECD Secretary-General Mathias Cormann said.
This agreement represents a significant shift in the way large multinational corporations are taxed. Previously, countries would regularly compete with one another to offer companies a favorable deal. When those firms could come in, put up a plant, and create jobs, it made sense. They were, in a sense, returning the favor. However, the new digital era powerhouses have mastered the art of simply transferring profits from where they conduct business to where they will pay the lowest taxes. It's good news for tax havens, but bad news for the rest of us. The new approach is intended to reduce profit shifting opportunities by requiring large corporations to pay at least some of their taxes where they do business rather than where they choose to establish their headquarters. A total of 136 countries have joined up, which is a significant accomplishment in and of itself.
The Wall Street Journal said that the pact will benefit wealthy countries the most, citing an analysis that the United States will boost tax revenues 15 times that of China. According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the deal will bring in $150 billion each year internationally.
The Impact On Future Incorporation
Larger businesses are likely to downsize in order to avoid the additional 15% cost, thereby reducing the number of corporations and multinationals in the United States. Some businesses may be determined to be opposed to this tax incentive, claiming that the minimal tax rate will make the American corporate sector less competitive, potentially resulting in job losses due to downsizing. With the G20's support, the 15% tax incentive is more likely to be authorized and implemented in individual countries sooner than projected. The plan may also suggest a 15% tax on the amount of profits of companies that fall outside of the 10% profit margin and are completely digitized and globalized as a result of the internet's evolution, leaving them with no physical address.
The G20 incentive could reduce the number of US companies who shrink in order to dodge the tax scheme. The G20 wants to make a worldwide difference by enacting more equitable tax policies. This incentive is aimed at corporations and larger businesses in order to prevent multinational corporations from unfairly benefiting from low tax rates.

Dominy leads Tigers
Finishes the scrimmage with 25 points
Tyler Dominy plays defense against North Forsyth during a scrimmage game last week. Dominy led the Tigers to a 58-41 win. - photo by Pam Jacobs Dawson Community News
Tyler Dominy, fresh from the football field, took over the scrimmage game with North Forsyth last Thursday in Dawsonville.
Dominy, a junior, finished the contest with 25 points to lead the Tigers to a 58-41 win over the AAAAA Raiders.
The Tigers dominated on the boards, grabbing 26 rebounds to North Forsyth's 15.
The game got off to a slow start as each team had a difficult time scoring.
North held a 7-6 lead after one quarter of play.
"It showed early that we had the football guys for only three days, as we struggled early scoring. Our match zone kept us in the game in the first half," said head coach Thad Burgess.
Both teams found some offense in the second quarter, with North leading 23-20 at halftime.
Dawson County came out of the locker room and erupted. The Tigers outscored their opponents 17-6 in the third quarter to take a 37-29 lead that the team would not relinquish.
Bruce Clark, playing in his first basketball game in a couple of years, also had a good night on offense with 13 points for the Tigers.
The Tigers also got scoring from Jonathan Sanderson and Gunnar Armstrong with 7 points each, Camron Chester chipped in 4 points and Lucas Pain added 2 points.
The Tigers made some clutch free throws down the stretch.
Dawson connected on 22-of-32 free throws for the game.
Chris Bureau, Brandon Rapson and Wade Allen scored 8 points each for North Forsyth.
"It was a good chance to get several new faces some quality game experience and get a win. Losing four starters from last year, I thought our newcomers did a great job playing with good intensity and effort," Burgess said.
"This is going to be a good bunch to watch play and coach. They have great character and are great kids, willing to do anything we ask of them," Burgess said. "It's always nice to get a win over North Forsyth with them being over three times the size of DCHS."
Dawson County opened the season with a home game against Tallulah Falls Tuesday. Results were not available as of press time.
The Tigers will play at 7:30 p.m. Saturday against Towns County at home.

Home / Outer Space / VLT spots largest yellow hypergiant star: Mix of new and old observations reveals exotic binary system
HR 5171, the brightest star just below the centre of this wide-field image, is a yellow hypergiant, a very rare type of stars with only a dozen known in our galaxy. Its size is over 1,300 times that of the Sun -- one of the 10 largest stars found so far. Observations with ESO's Very Large Telescope Interferometer have shown that it is actually a double star, with the companion in contact with the main star. Credit: ESO/Digitized Sky Survey 2
VLT spots largest yellow hypergiant star: Mix of new and old observations reveals exotic binary system
in Outer Space March 13, 2014 0 843 Views
ESO's Very Large Telescope Interferometer has revealed the largest yellow star — and one of the ten largest stars found so far. This hypergiant has been found to measure more than 1300 times the diameter of the Sun, and to be part of a double star system, with the second component so close that it is in contact with the main star. Observations spanning over sixty years, some from amateur observers, also indicate that this rare and remarkable object is changing very rapidly and has been caught during a very brief phase of its life.
Using ESO's Very Large Telescope Interferometer (VLTI), Olivier Chesneau (Observatoire de la Côte d'Azur, Nice, France) and an international team of collaborators have found that the yellow hypergiant star HR 5171 A [1] is absolutely huge — 1300 times the diameter of the Sun and much bigger than was expected [2]. This makes it the largest yellow star known. It is also in the top ten of the largest stars known — 50% larger than the famous red supergiant Betelgeuse — and about one million times brighter than the Sun.
"The new observations also showed that this star has a very close binary partner, which was a real surprise," says Chesneau. "The two stars are so close that they touch and the whole system resembles a gigantic peanut."
The astronomers made use of a technique called interferometry to combine the light collected from multiple individual telescopes, effectively creating a giant telescope up to 140 metres in size. The new results prompted the team to thoroughly investigate older observations of the star spanning more than sixty years, to see how it had behaved in the past [3].
Yellow hypergiants are very rare, with only a dozen or so known in our galaxy — the best-known example being Rho Cassiopeiae. They are among the biggest and brightest stars known and are at a stage of their lives when they are unstable and changing rapidly. Due to this instability, yellow hypergiants also expel material outwards, forming a large, extended atmosphere around the star.
Despite its great distance of nearly 12,000 light-years from Earth, the object can just about be seen with the naked eye [4] by the keen-sighted. HR 5171 A has been found to be getting bigger over the last 40 years, cooling as it grows, and its evolution has now been caught in action. Only a few stars are caught in this very brief phase, where they undergo a dramatic change in temperature as they rapidly evolve.
By analysing data on the star's varying brightness, using observations from other observatories, the astronomers confirmed the object to be an eclipsing binary system where the smaller component passes in front and behind the larger one as it orbits. In this case HR 5171 A is orbited by its companion star every 1300 days. The smaller companion is only slightly hotter than HR 5171 A's surface temperature of 5000 degrees Celsius.
Chesneau concludes "The companion we have found is very significant as it can have an influence on the fate of HR 5171 A, for example, stripping off its outer layers and modifying its evolution."
This new discovery highlights the importance of studying these huge and short-lived yellow hypergiants, and could provide a means of understanding the evolutionary processes of massive stars in general.
[1] The star is also known as V766 Cen, HD 119796 and HIP 67261.
[2] Comparable objects seem to all be red supergiants which reach 1000-1500 times the radius of the Sun and have initial masses not exceeding 20-25 Solar masses. The radius of a yellow supergiant was expected to be 400-700 times that of the Sun.
[3] Spectral data were obtained using the Anglo-Australian Telescope with the University College London Echelle Spectrograph (UCLES), at the South African Astronomical Observatory (SAAO), with PUCHEROS, from the Pontificia Universidad de Chile (PUC) and through coronagraphic observations with the Near-Infrared Coronagraphic Imager (NICI) on the Gemini South telescope. Archival photometric datasets examined include infrared photometry from the South African Astronomical Observatory spanning the time frame from 1975 to 2013 and other datasets from 1983 to 2002, including some amateur observations. The agreement of professional results with those from amateur astronomer Sebastian Otero (2000-2013) is considered by the authors to be "excellent," and "illustrates the quality of these amateur observations."
[4] The visual magnitude of HR 5171 A is seen to vary between 6.10 and 7.30. It and can be viewed in the constellation of Centaurus (The Centaur).
The above story is based on materials provided by European Southern Observatory (ESO). Note: Materials may be edited for content and length.

The lack of new products, flavours and promotional activities in tea were contributing factors in tea's slower growth in 2018, in addition to the economic slowdown in Indonesia. High tea consumption, even in remote areas, has led tea to approach saturation, although in terms of per capita volumes, there is still room for the growth, with tea being consumed more often.
Black tea bags significantly outperformed loose black tea in 2018. With the convenience of being able to make tea without having to filter loose tea, consumers are increasingly comfortable with these products.
Given that tea is approaching saturation, it has strong distribution to all the regions in Indonesia, and the innovation and promotional strategies undertaken by tea producers will therefore have an impact on brand switching among consumers. In addition, considering that tea is not a primary need for Indonesian people, tea consumption tends to decline along with decreasing purchasing power.
Unilever Indonesia continued to lead tea in 2018 with its Sariwangi brand. The player's ability to to maintain its quality enabled the brand to remain the leader in black tea bags.
Sinar Sosro maintained its second place in black tea bags with a slight increase in its retail value share in 2018, while remaining under the shadow of Unilever Indonesia. Sinar Sosro's brand image is strong, accompanied by a solid distribution network, and it is expected that the company will continue to achieve positive growth over the forecast period.

One of the most important and hotly debated central mysteries in A Song of Ice and Fire is "what happened at the Tower of Joy?". Most of the discussion is on *that* "mystery", of course. Because *that* dominates so much as a topic, some of the other fun and important details get lost in the shuffle. This post is dedicated to those very details, many of which play major roles in the current storyline.
The Tower of Joy was located in northern part of the Prince's Pass, which connects Dorne to the Reach through the Red Mountains. We say "was located", as Ned's thoughts tell us he pulled it down to make eight cairns, one each for those listed here that fought, save himself and Howland Reed, who survived.
These mini-profiles of the 10 men who fought in the shadow of the Tower of Joy may contain a few things you missed. Enjoy.
Prowess: Jaime thinks of him as one of the strongest he's ever known. At the time of the battle, Ned recalls him as fierce, though old. We guess that he's likely at least twice the age of anyone else present.
Family & Connections: Ser Gerold was uncle to Lord Leyton, current head of House Hightower, one of the most ancient and noble houses in Westeros.
History Note: Became Lord Commander upon the death of Ser Duncan the Tall (259 AC). Commanded the combined Westerosi forces in the War of Ninepenny Kings following the death of Lord Ormund Baratheon (grandfather of Robert, Stannis & Renly). He was Lord Commander for 24 years and was succeeded by Ser Barristan the Bold.
Quote: Ned recalls him saying: "The Kingsguard does not flee." just before the battle began.
Family & Connections: It's said that he was Prince Rhaegar Targaryen's closest and most trusted friend. One might think he was privy to many of Rhaegar's secrets.
Brother to Lady Ashara Dayne, who supposedly killed herself shortly after this battle and the apparent stillbirth of her child.
Uncle to ~13 year old Lord Edric Dayne, former squire to Lord Beric Dondarrion.
Of the houses present, it is their family's home castle of Starfall that is nearest to the Tower of Joy. It's notable that Lord Edric is nicknamed "Ned", despite Ned Stark's direct involvement with Ser Arthur's death. One might think House Dayne would hate that name.
Quote: "And now it begins" just before unsheathing Dawn at the Tower of Joy, if Ned's fever dream can be trusted.
Ser Oswell Whent – Across his white-enameled helm, the black bat of his House spread its wings.
Prowess: Aerys' Kingsguard was said to be among the greatest ever, thus it is likely that Oswell was excellent, if not elite. He and his 4 nephews were champions at the Tourney of the False Spring, and was the only one to keep his place, the others were challenged and defeated.
Family & Connections: Brother to Lord Walter Whent, who hosted this same famous tourney (in 281), where Lyanna was named Queen of Love and Beauty by Rhaegar Targaryen… the event that started it all, you might say. A close friend of Prince Rhaegar, he was said to have a morbid sense of humor.
History Note: Catelyn Tully's mother was Minisa Whent, an unknown relation to Ser Oswell and Lord Walter, but blood regardless. Thus, Ned's wife and all his children have Whent blood. It is unknown who slew Ser Oswell.
Prowess: That Ned chose him as a companion perhaps gives him some credibility. Perhaps he accounted himself well during Robert's Rebellion.
Family & Connections: Lord of Barrowton, newly married to Lady Barbrey Ryswell when war broke out.
She gave minimum support to Robb Stark when he marched south.
Lord Bolton mentions that her grudge is a large part of why he can count on House Dustin's support, and her strength is significant in part because she held back. Thus, Lord William's death at the Tower of Joy has contributed to the downfall of the Starks in multiple ways.
Prowess: A squire is unlikely to be an adult, so he was probably too young to be much of a warrior. Many young men gained experience fighting in the rebellion, but he was likely held captive throughout most of the war. His inclusion in the party at all is interesting. Could it be that he had important information, such as knowledge of the Tower of Joy's location? or that Lyanna was there?
Family & Connections: A member of House Glover, who are masters of Deepwood Motte. Unknown relation to Galbart and Robett Glover, but he could be their brother. House Glover is known for outstanding loyalty to House Stark. Galbart, Robett and Ethan are outstanding examples.
History Note: His tale is particularly tragic. Witness to Lord Rickard and Brandon Stark's deaths, he had accompanied Brandon to King's Landing from Riverrun upon learning of Lyanna Stark's abduction by Rhaegar Targaryen. All of Brandon's other companions & their fathers were executed, and it remains uncertain why Ethan was spared. He survived the Mad King and Robert's Rebellion only to die at the Tower of Joy.
Prowess: Unknown, but the Cassel family has served House Stark in a variety of roles for many generations, often as fighters. It's likely he was skilled, but likely less so than any of the Kingsguard.
Family & Connections: brother to Ser Rodrik, who was Winterfell's Castellan and father to Jory, who was Winterfell's Captain of Guards. Beth Cassel, daughter of Ser Rodrik, is the only living Cassel and she is currently a captive at the Dreadfort.
Littlefinger and the City Watch found him there in the street, cradling Jory Cassel's body in his arms.
They had found him still holding her (Lyanna's) body, silent with grief.
Prowess: The brutal winters in the hills of the North breed hard men. The Wulls descend from stock who have had uncountable conflicts with wildlings and Ironmen, and are known for their prowess. There's a decent chance this man was the best of Ned's seven.
Family & Connections: Given the quote below, we're guessing Theo Wull may have gotten to know Ned through Howland Reed. The current Wull, perhaps Theo's son, is among the loudest in calling for the rescue of Arya, and he lusts for the blood of Boltons.
History Note: The Wulls are historically the most powerful of the northern hill clans.
Prowess: Though information is scarce, and this quote points to a non-martial personality, knighthood is rare in the North, and may speak to his ability.
Family & Connections: House Ryswell is currently divided, and it is not known which branch Ser Mark belonged to. The current state of affairs sees the Ryswells as an ally of House Bolton. We wonder if Ser Mark's death is a factor here. It's good to remember that Lady Barbrey Dustin is a Ryswell by birth.
History Note: Ser Mark could be Lady Barbrey's uncle, but she never mentions this, so their family connection is unknown. In general we know little of him.
Quote: Ned had known their faces as well as he knew his own once, but the years leech at a man's memories, even those he has vowed never to forget. In the dream they were only shadows, grey wraiths on horses made of mist.
Prowess: Evidence from the Knight of the Laughing tree tale indicates Howland was not a strong fighter, but the Crannogmen are known for fighting with nets, arrows and poison. He might've played a critical role in the battle via these skills. Ned claims that Ser Arthur would've killed him if not for Howland Reed.
Family & Connections: Crannogman with dominion over all those of his kind in the Neck. Lord of Greywater Watch. Father to Meera & Jojen, friend to Ned Stark and probably Theo Wull.
History Note: The debate rages over whether or not there were others at the tower during this fight. Regardless of who has the right of it, Howland Reed is the only named individual certain to be both alive now and holding intimate knowledge of the event. Though he is Lord now, he was likely not yet so at this time.
Lord Eddard Stark – You've probably heard of him already.
Prowess: Though he claims that Howland's help was crucial, Ned did fight Ser Arthur and may not have even suffered a wound. He may have only faced Ser Arthur at the very end, after all others were slain. By this point, Ser Arthur may have himself been wounded. But we must be careful making any assumptions. George himself has pointed out that Ned's memories of this occurred during a fever dream, and may not be entirely reliable. George has also confirmed that Lord Eddard did not fight with the Valyrian Steel blade Ice, it was too large.
Family & Connections: Ned's rumored relationship with Ashara Dayne makes the death of her brother Arthur Dayne very sad. Ashara's death coming so close after Lyanna's death piles on even more tragedy. However, Ned's POV is only revealing in that he never once thinks of Ashara.
History Note: After the fight, he returned Dawn to the Daynes, and this may have triggered Ashara's suicide. He returned Lord Dustin's horse to his widow, and this triggered her grudge against the Starks. Then there's what he returned to Winterfell with, that child born of… Oh wait, we're not discussing that here.
Quote: He dreamt an old dream, of three knights in white cloaks, and a tower long fallen, and Lyanna in her bed of blood.


The Chairman of the All Progressives Congress (APC) Panel sent to oversee the Imo gubernatorial primaries, Ahmed Gulak has revealed how an individual tried to bribe him with $2 million and a private jet flight to Imo to help manipulate the outcome.
The controversial primaries had produced a candidate, Sen. Hope Uzodinma (APC – Imo West), who the National Working Committee (NWC) has now endorsed, but Governor Rochas Okorocha has said that his son-in-law and Chief of Staff, Uche Nwosu won the primaries.
But Gulak, a former Political Adviser to ex-President Jonathan, insisted that the process supervised by his panel produced Uzodinma as Imo gubernatorial candidate candidate, a move which has continued to pitch him against Okorocha.
Speaking with Saturday Vanguard, Gulak disclosed that he was nearly kidnapped alongside some members of the panel after he refused to take the bribe.
He said, "…Even before I went to Imo state, I was offered a private jet to take me to Imo state but I refused because I didn't want to be compromised.
Gulak accused Okorocha of forcing some members of the panel to declare his son-in-law as winner of the polls, which led to its cancellation.
He added, "We (panel members) went to Imo, we stood our ground, elections held, results collated and the winner announced. We came back, in fact after the collation few others and myself escaped from where we would have been conscripted.

Q: Divide a string into an ArrayList I'm trying to divide a String into arrays. The overall program is supposed to turn binary into a string but the problem I'm having is dividing the string into arrays. I feel stupid because this seems like a simple thing to do. the binary comes like this "0100100001001001" instead of "01001000" "01001001".
public static ArrayList<String> divStr(String str,int div){

    String addable = "";
    ArrayList<String> ret = new ArrayList<String>();
    for(int i = 0; i < str.length();i++){
      addable += str.charAt(i);
      if(i % div == 0 && i != 0){
        ret.add(addable);
        addable = "";
      }
    }
    return ret;
  }

A: You can use split with regex like so :
String[] ret = str.split("(?<=\\G.{" + div +"})");

If you want to return a List :
public static List<String> divStr(String str, int div) {
    return Arrays.asList(str.split("(?<=\\G.{" + div +"})"));
}

If you call the method for example :
System.out.println(divStr("0100100001001001", 8));
>> [01001000, 01001001]

If you mean by div the number of parts you can change your code to be :
public static List<String> divStr(String str, int div) {
    int length = str.length() / div;
    return Arrays.asList(str.split("(?<=\\G.{" + length +"})"));
}

then :
System.out.println(divStr("0100100001001001", 2));
>> [01001000, 01001001]

A: There are 2 problems with your code.
(1) The condition i % div == 0 && i != 0 is wrong because say div = 8, it will add the first 9 chars to the list when i = 8.
(2) If the length of the string str is not a multiple of div there will be chars left out from the list.
So change to this:
public static ArrayList<String> divStr(String str,int div){
    String addable = "";
    ArrayList<String> ret = new ArrayList<String>();
    for(int i = 0; i < str.length();i++){
        addable += str.charAt(i);
        if((i + 1) % div == 0){
            ret.add(addable);
            addable = "";
        }
    }
    if (!addable.isEmpty()) ret.add(addable);
    return ret;
}

A: The problem is with i % div which only came once in your code because it starts from 0 and goes to
str.length = 15 it should be replaced by (i+1) % div
public static ArrayList<String> divStr(String str,int div){

    String addable = "";
    ArrayList<String> ret = new ArrayList<String>();
    for(int i = 0; i < str.length();i++){
      addable += str.charAt(i);
      if((i+1) % div == 0 && i != 0){
        ret.add(addable);
        addable = "";
      }
    }
    return ret;
  }

Universalization of Membership of International Solar alliance
by Sejal Babel · 3rd August 2020
A recent amendment made in the International Solar Alliance agreement has now allowed all members of the United Nations to join the Alliance. It was passed on the 15th of July which lets all the 192 member countries to the United Nations to apply for the membership to the alliance.
The International Solar Alliance or known as ISA was formed under the Paris Climate Accord of 2016, which aims at consistently increasing the use of solar power to curtail the carbon footprint levels and help countries become less dependent on conventional energy sources especially fossil fuels. The framework, which was inaugurated in 2018 during the COP21 in Paris jointly by the Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the president of France François Hollande, have almost 87 countries signing to it. And as of the latest count, the instrument of ratification, which is a document citing the approval and commitment to the alliance, has been submitted by around 67 countries. It serves as a multilateral forum to tackle climate change with exchange of ideas, technology and capacity building between the countries that are a part of the alliance.
This comes amidst a press notice released by the Ministry of External Affairs, which emphasised on the importance of universalising the membership to ISA. Earlier, the alliance was only open to the solar resource-rich countries situated between the tropic of Cancer and tropic of Capricorn. But now, it would now give a chance to all those countries which otherwise could reap the benefits of the alliance. Along with this, the statement also intimated that the "Universalization of ISA membership was achieved after the "necessary ratifications, approvals or acceptances were obtained from the requisite number of ISA Member countries as mandated by the Framework Agreement of the ISA."
The main aim of the ISA is to harness solar power in the most affordable, prudent, efficient and sustainable manner. It mandates the use of cutting edge, e-mobility solar technology for energy generation and popularises the use of rooftop installations on a micro level to save electricity costs. It also involves sufficient financing activity to fund these projects in a decentralised fashion, collaborating with the rural areas of the member countries. Being under global management, it provides needy member countries with support and access to solar technologies.

Towering inferno at Notre Dame Cathedral captured by police drone – Don't Drone Me!
The fire began earlier on Monday in scaffolding erected to perform repairs on the centuries-old church, which had been in poor condition for many years. Its cause is not yet known, though French judiciary police have already begun what is reportedly a criminal investigation. Over 400 firefighters are still battling to get the blaze under control.
A firefighter at the scene reportedly said workers' main focus is saving the priceless works of art contained in the cathedral and preventing the northern bell tower from collapsing.

John Stevenson MP appointed as Honorary President of Reivers District Scouts
By John Stevenson on	 2nd July 2015 Communities & Local Government
At Reivers District Scouts AGM on Thursday, Stewart Young, Leader of Cumbria County Council stood down as President, having given notice at last year's AGM. The AGM noted the appointment of John Stevenson, MP as the new President for Scouting in Carlisle and the surrounding area.
Chris Southward, District Chairman said "We have been extremely fortunate to have such high profile supporters of Scouting here in Carlisle, who are great advocates of the amazing work done by our volunteers for our ever growing membership. We are tremendously grateful of Stewart's support over the last five years and I know that John will be a worthy successor given his valuing of Scouting's contribution to society."
Whilst President is an honorary role it can include the promotion of the wellbeing of Scouting in the wider community by assisting to develop relationships between Scouting and other institutions and associations.
John Stevenson like his predecessor Stewart Young is a former Scout; he was a member of the movement in Aberdeen and North East Fife. After joining as a Cub Scout, John progressed through all of the sections, before becoming an adult leader.
John said, "I am delighted to accept the appointment as Hon President of the Reivers District Scouts. I have always been very supportive of the Scout movement which is thriving in Cumbria and I will certainly be doing my best to support and promote them where ever possible. They make a very valuable contribution to our community."
As the demand for Scouting increases amongst young people, keen to access the opportunities that the Scout Association provides, growth is only curtailed by a lack of adult support. It is hoped that John can help in raising their profile to encourage more adults to join the fun, so that the young people who are missing out get to enjoy the same adventures as he did.
Chris added, "Volunteering with the Scouts is easy, fun and flexible – how much time you give is up to you. Whether helping out once a fortnight, month or term or just at special events, there is bound to be a role everyone can play, and no matter how you get involved, volunteers are trained and supported. Many different volunteer roles are available too – you don't have to work with young people and for instance, could take up a finance, committee or management role or you may have a practical skill that could be used on the local campsite."

"How likely are you to recommend Cinemaciti.od.ua to a friend or colleague?
Cinemaciti.od.ua's promoters are those who respond with a score of 9 to 10, and they are likely to create most value, such as buying more, remaining customers for longer, and making more positive referrals to other potential customers. Detractors, responding with a score of 0 to 6 are believed to be less likely to exhibit the value-creating behaviors.
The Net Promoter Score of Cinemaciti.od.ua is a number from -100 to 100 calculated by subtracting the percentage of detractors from the percentage of customers who are Promoters.
Is Cinemaciti.od.ua's estimated NPS of 12 considered to be good?
Consider an example: If Cinemaciti.od.ua sends out NPS surveys immediately after purchase, they are tracking their customers' initial excitement and the checkout experience.
Therefore, comparing the NPS score of Cinemaciti.od.ua with your own without any further context is not that useful.


Solution structure of the N-terminal A domain of the human voltage-gated Ca2+channel beta4a subunit.
Ca2+ channel beta subunits regulate trafficking and gating (opening and closing) of voltage-dependent Ca2+ channel alpha1 subunits. Based on primary sequence comparisons, they are thought to be modular structures composed of five domains (A-E) that are related to the large family of membrane associated guanylate-kinase (MAGUK) proteins. The crystal structures of the beta subunit core, B-D, domains have recently been reported; however, very little is known about the structures of the A and E domains. The N-terminal A domain is a hypervariable region that differs among the four subtypes of Ca2+ channel beta subunits (beta1-beta4). Furthermore, this domain undergoes alternative splicing to create multiple N-terminal structures within a given gene class that have distinct effects on gating. We have solved the solution structure of the A domain of the human beta4a subunit, a splice variant that we have shown previously to have alpha1 subunit subtype-specific effects on Ca2+ channel trafficking and gating.

Sirt1 Study Finds Aging May Really Be In Your Head
By News Staff | September 8th 2013 10:07 AM | Print | E-mail
Research into the role of proteins called sirtuins in enhancing longevity has yielded contradictory results from many different scientists - while it's been fine for mouse studies, weaning human babies on a diet near starvation isn't possible. As a result, the benefits of a low-calorie diet are accepted by people who want to believe it.
A new paper seeks to peer into the fog with some clarity. The authors say they have identified the mechanism by which a specific sirtuin protein called Sirt1 operates in the brain to bring about a significant delay in aging and an increase in longevity associated with a low-calorie diet. They show how Sirt1 prompts neural activity in specific areas of the hypothalamus of the brain, which triggers dramatic physical changes in skeletal muscle and increases in vigor and longevity.
Imai's team studied mice that had been genetically modified to overproduce Sirt1 protein. Some of the mice had been engineered to overproduce Sirt1 in body tissues, while others were engineered to produce more of the Sirt1 protein only in the brain.

"In our studies of mice that express Sirt1 in the brain, we found that the skeletal muscular structures of old mice resemble young muscle tissue," said Shin-ichiro Imai, MD, PhD, of Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. "Twenty-month-old mice (the equivalent of 70-year-old humans) look as active as five-month-olds. We found that only the mice that overexpressed Sirt1 in the brain (called BRASTO) had significant lifespan extension and delay in aging, just like normal mice reared under dietary restriction regimens."
The BRASTO mice demonstrated significant life span extension without undergoing dietary restriction. "They were free to eat regular chow whenever they wished," he said.
In addition to positive skeletal muscle changes in the BRASTO mice, the investigators also observed significant increases in nighttime physical activity, body temperature and oxygen consumption compared with age-matched controls.
Mice are characteristically most active at night. The BRASTO mice also experienced better or deeper sleep, and both males and females had significant increases in longevity.
The median life span of BRASTO mice in the study was extended by 16 percent for females and 9 percent for males. Translated to humans, this could mean an extra 13 or 14 years for women, making their average life span almost 100 years, Shin said. For men, this would add another seven years, increasing their average life span to the mid-80s.
Delay in cancer-dependent death also was observed in the BRASTO mice relative to control mice, the researchers noted.
Imai said that the longevity and health profile associated with the BRASTO mice appears to be the result of a shift in the onset of aging rather than the pace of aging. "What we have observed in BRASTO mice is a delay in the time when age-related decline begins, so while the rate of aging does not change, aging and the risk of cancer has been postponed."
Having narrowed control of aging to the brain, Imai's team then traced the control center of aging regulation to two areas of the hypothalamus called the dorsomedial and lateral hypothalamic nuclei. They then were able to identify specific genes within those areas that partner with Sirt1 to kick off the neural signals that elicit the physical and behavioral responses observed.
"We found that overexpression of Sirt1 in the brain leads to an increase in the cellular response of a receptor called orexin type 2 receptor in the two areas of the hypothalamus," said first author Akiko Satoh, PhD, a postdoctoral staff scientist in Imai's lab.
"We have demonstrated that the increased response by the receptor initiates signaling from the hypothalamus to skeletal muscles," said Satoh. She noted that the mechanism by which the signal is specifically directed to skeletal muscle remains to be discovered.
According to Imai, the tight association discovered between Sirt1-prompted brain activation and the regulation of aging and longevity raises the tantalizing possibility of a "control center of aging and longevity" in the brain, which could be manipulated to maintain youthful physiology and extend life span in other mammals as well.

Biografia
Era figlio di  Mark e Henrietta (nata Tenny) Lane e studiò alla Phillips Academy di Exeter. Si laureò alla Yale University nel 1846 ed entrò a far parte dell'U.S. Patent Office, dove divenne il principale esaminatore nel 1851. Nel 1869 entrò a far parte dell'Office of Weights and Measures, parte del Dipartimento del Tesoro che successivamente divenne National Bureau of Standards.

Lane si interessò particolarmente di astronomia e fu il primo a realizzare un'analisi matematica del Sole come corpo celeste gassoso. I suoi studi dimostrarono le relazioni termodinamiche fra pressione, temperatura e densità dei gas che costituiscono il Sole, ponendo le basi della teoria dell'evoluzione stellare (vedi Equazione di Lane-Emden).

Simon Newcomb, nelle sue memorie, descrisse Lane come "un ometto dall'aspetto strano ed educato, piuttosto intellettuale in apparenza, che ascoltava con attenzione  ciò che altri dicevano, ma che, per quanto ho notato, non diceva mai una parola."  Newcomb racconta il suo ruolo nel portare l'opera di Lane, nel 1876, all'attenzione di
William Thomson che rese ulteriormente popolare l'opera. Newcomb scrisse, "è molto singolare che un uomo di tale acume non abbia mai realizzato niente altro di importante."

Il cratere lunare Lane porta il suo nome.

4-0-Wonderland: Any local charities accept clothes beyond wear?
Any local charities accept clothes beyond wear?
I'm in the process of purging my home of clothing that I no longer wear. Items in good shape are heading to the Sally Ann. My question is, are there any local charities that accept clothes that are beyond wearing to be reused as scrap fabric? If you do, could you leave a comment?


Vernon school trustees approved an increase in annual indemnity, but the vote was not unanimous.
Vernon School District trustees are divided over their pay.
While some trustees feel a rise in annual indemnity is long overdue, others feel that paying themselves more sends the wrong message.
"I would like to have us stay at our current level," said trustee Doris Squair.
The board is required, by motion, to establish the trustee indemnities for the period Dec. 1, 2015 to Nov. 30, 2016 and establish that one third of this sum be considered an allowance for expenses incidental to the discharge of trustees' official duties.
Trustees approved an increase in annual indemnity, but the vote was not unanimous.
"I think the way this is set up right now is we compare ourselves with a cohort group of school districts across the province and so this way it gives us an average of the cohort, which is still less than the average in the province," said trustee Robert Lee.
Earlier this year, the board established a group of school districts to compare trustee indemnities — New Westminster, West Vancouver, Sooke, Saanich, Comox Valley and Cowichan Valley. The average is $17,673 for chair, $15,883 for vice-chair and $14,958 for trustee. In Vernon, trustees earn an annual indemnity of $13,424, vice-chairperson earns $13,424 plus an extra $1,228 in expense allowance; chairperson earns $13,424 plus an extra $2,749 expense allowance. Expense allowance is non-taxable.
Trustees were asked to vote on a motion to increase the indemnity to $17,707 for chair, which includes $2,749 for allowance; $16,186 for vice-chair, which includes $1,228 for allowance; and $14,958 for trustees.
"I think the general public expects us to work for what we're doing and this is not a salary because nobody would work for those wages," said Lee.
Squair opposed the motion to increase the annual indemnity.
"I was not in favour of this motion last year and I am strongly not in favour this year because we have employees in our district that have not received a wage and I'm ashamed that I'm even asking for this, when people have gone for years without and they work 365 days a year, not a term of three or four years," she said.
Kelly Smith, board chairperson, also spoke against the motion.
"I am agreeing with trustee Squair that we do have employee groups who still have not had a raise in many years and I must speak against it," she said.
Lee said it's important to remember that an indemnity is not a salary.
Squair said trustees all knew what they were getting into when they allowed their name to stand for election.
"Though I'm not going to change your mind, we didn't come into this blindly, we all sacrificed our personal time and that was not the point of coming into this position, our point was to be there for the children first," she said.

The bank would be liable for this, because the bank knows that people rob for money and an ATM is a money machine. As a result of these lawsuits, banks have started doing more to protect their customers. Most ATMs are now within and they are enclosed. There are no longer a lot of ATMs in the open where somebody could come up behind the person using the machine. Nowadays the person would actually have to go into a room.
ATMs are honestly very dangerous especially for females, regardless of the time of the day and regardless of the location. Practicing this type of law has taught me that there is a lot of stalking going on especially for female clients. Sometimes, the attacker would not initially commit a crime where they first saw their target, and they would follow them to another location to do the crime.
This happens at a lot of gas stations and ATM machines, and it also seems to happen more often with lone females. Filling gas or going to an ATM machine is significantly more dangerous than going anywhere else.
Banks and gas stations also know this so it is not exactly a secret. They have statistics regarding where people were robbed and how often. This is why if someone was a victim of a crime and they believed the crime could have been prevented, and even if they did not whether it could have been prevented, they should just reach out and find a lawyer.

The Spanish use a cazuela pot when cooking this dish as this is the most traditional method.A cazuela is an earthernware dish that can be used either on top of the oven over a gas flame or for baking inside the main oven. Remember however to leave this dish to cool before washing as it may crack due to extreme, rapid changes in temperature. A deep frying pan is a suitable alternative to cook this recipe, however it would be worth transferring the ingredients into a more attractive hot dish before serving at the table.
Heat the olive oil in the cazuela over a medium flame. Add the garlic and allow to sizzle for a minute or two, until golden in colour.
Add the chillies and cook for a further minute, removing from heat when the garlic begins to turn brown. Be careful not to overcook the garlic as this ruins the flavour and you would have to start over again.
Add the shelled shrimps to the pot but do not return to the heat. Leave to cook in the hot oil for 2 minutes. Add a pinch of salt.
