Evola and Neo-Eurasianism
Rodrigo Sobota
We must understand Julius Evola's work in the same vein as we understand Heidegger's approach to metaphysics and Western civilization.
While we can know, for sure, that the current state of Western civilization no longer resembles, in toto, the idealistic image once pictured by Heidegger and Spengler, we must be aware that their work constitutes an important and vital watershed.
The spirit of of old Europe is alive in Heidegger's work, just as much as in Evola's work. Both represent the spirit of an age that knew – intimately, perhaps – the Nietzschean drive to its deep modernistic roots and its essence, and perhaps could be depicted in a certain sense as representing the age of the (aspiring) Overman, the active nihilist, and of the regimes that sought a new model of man – many of them Fascist, Communist or even Liberal – as opposed to the current age of the Last Man, a man who has lost the Faustian drive almost entirely and therefore succumbed to passive nihilism, and to the spirit of an age that has fully transitioned from Modernity to Post-Modernity. An age that now consequently, in our current epoch, faces complete dissolution.
Evola addresses this age of dissolution just as intensively and concisely as Heidegger deconstructs the essence of Western logos and of its Metaphysics focused on unreal abstract presences, on reified essences, and on the thinking subject.
We must understand Evola as a savant who was deeply aware of his own role within the End Times, and the sort of distillation, of objectivity (sachlichkeit), that would be necessary in confronting the dimensions and challenges given in our age. We must sense, in him, a man who grasped the inevitable dissolution and destruction of the standards of the bourgeois era, and the age of so-called "Old" Europe, of the Europe that was still recognizable to a man like Oswald Spengler, and about whose inevitable destiny Goebbels firmly proclaimed – as he spoke, during the aftermath of the Dresden bombing and the late 2nd major global confrontation: "all of old Europe comes crashing down, and will be buried, with this war. With this conflict, comes down the ruin of the bourgeois age." [rough translation]
Even if this fundamentally correct intuition did not come in the style of perverted Nazi dreams, with the construction of the fascist Neue Ordnung, but instead with the building of a demented, sick, geriatric and nihilistic liberal regime within an Americanized mold, we must still see in Evola a sort of logical conclusion to the presuppositions that have so far underlined the later stages of European reaction.
Evola must be understood as constituting the bridge from late Western European continental thought, to Tradition as we should know, and properly understand in the conception that must underlie the foundations of a new, post-liberal civilization that we – as men of the Midnight – must necessarily aspire to.
The very movement of Evola's life, from the Absolute Idealism of his youth, towards the Neo-Platonic intellectual rigidity, the cemented and refined orthodoxy of the "late" Evola, is indicative of the way that we should take in our age.
Evola wrote precisely for us, the men of the midnight. His writings concerned not just the critique of late Western metaphysics, from a partial point of view that is perhaps much more complete in the work of Rene Guenon and Martin Heidegger, but carries in itself the apocalyptic and eschatological vision of the End – although within Evola's work, we must understand the undertones of this view of the End Times as being fundamentally different from the Semitic bluster of emotions that have characterized our understanding of the term within Christian civilization.
Evola's view of the End Times is strictly aligned with a different Orthodoxy, namely, that of Platonism, Hermeticism, Buddhism in its early purer form, and also Samkhya, Advaita and other such currents that can still be discerned in our age. In them, while the End Times and the Dark Age form a coherent given, there's a marked absence of the pathos of the Semitic type within the scope of these alternative traditional teachings.
The current age of liberal decadence, of the end of Western humanity, must be understood within the aegis and scope of the broad movement of dissolution, of fragmentation, that precedes the end of the cycle. And this is followed, markedly, by the search for transcendence in a world that has become meaningless, formless, objectified, banal and the passive receptacle of a process very similar to the fetish of commodities described by Marxist ideologues. And within this dystopian world of the late times, we can also witness the correspondence made in a very precise fashion with the age of the fourth caste, the age of the Sudra – characterized for instance by the domination of the formless mass man, of pure quantity and of machines – as opposed to the previous bourgeois age that retained the remnants of deeper, older organic elements.
Within this age, and within the West, we must acknowledge that everything that was still organic and traditional in the previous "bourgeois" age, that ended most definitely in 1945, is now coming to an end or has already been destroyed. The anti-modernist teaching of the Roman Church was killed and buried together with its ceremonial and liturgical core, and so were the remnants of the organic, pre and anti-modern social elements, like the aristocracy, the clergy, and the broad aristocratic and hierarchical structures that still played their role in granting a deep and effective sense of societal and personal differentiation no longer present in our day and age.
In our age, which is marked deeply by the liberal and also former Communist erosion of all the remaining standards of organic civilization, we cannot count on the luxury of having the old models and superstructures present within our current milieu. The organic society of the Renaissance, and its predecessor, the organic society of the Middle Ages, are now but a distant memory. What is present right now is precisely the inorganic model of the civilized, late liberal world, that drags itself inexorably towards a vortex of imbecility, downwards leveling of the social structure, and also self-disintegration. Of this, we can only take into account the brilliant work "Jihad vs McWorld", the sort of book that bears a title very fitting to the current age of Spenglerian early Caesarism, money politics, and solidification.
We have already discussed briefly here and elsewhere the nature of this age. And now, we must understand that when the West lies close to its stage of effective mortality, the initiative must be seized decisively towards a new direction. This initiative consists in the gathering of the men of the Midnight, the differentiated men who "ride the tiger", to the construction of a new paradigm that must necessarily come after the deep, dark night of Western modernity, and that shall come to the fore as the necessary civilizing Traditional force over a world in ruins. Of a world that has lost sight of itself, and has submerged itself into the most elementary and animal-like barbarity.

Review: ANTON IN SHOW BUSINESS
by Lynn on August 29, 2013
Anton in Show Business
At the Sterling Studio Theatre, Toronto. Written by Jane Martin. Directed by Danka Scepanovic and Danielle Bourgon. Sound by Sina Shahrestani. Lighting by Danka Scepanova. Starring: Kirsten Alter, Shadi Shahkhalili, Zerha Leverman, Teresa V Leja, Melissa Story, Jess Salquerio, Caroline Millen and Danka Scepanovic.
Produced by Rhizõma Productions. Plays at the Sterling Studio Theatre, 163 Sterling Road, Unit 5, until September 7.
Anton in Show Business by Jane Martin, is a play about a small experimental theatre company in Texas that is putting on their version of Anton Chekhov's Three Sisters. One of the experiments is that all the parts are played by women. The reasoning of course is that men get all the good parts (except for the three sisters) and so the Artistic Director of the company, Kate Todoravskia, intends to right that inequity.
The star of this production of Three Sisters is a blonde, breast-implanted bimbette named Holly Seabé, whose claim to fame is that she's some kind of TV star who tends to take off her clothes more than she acts, and hence is the draw for the production. She plays Masha. She was told to get some acting cred so she took this theatre gig to elevate her stature. Two other actresses audition and are rejected until Seabé intervenes when she sees how badly they are treated by the smarty-pants Brit director. Casey Mulgraw, tall, angular and rather striking, plays Olga. Mulgraw has toiled Off-Broadway for years working for no money, who often comments on her own plainness and so thinks that Olga is the only role for her. Lisabette Cartwright plays Irina. She has just graduate with a Masters of Fine Arts degree from a local university and this is her first professional job. She has a thick southern accent and not a clue about the theatre. Someone mentions Lorraine Hansbury's play A Raisin In the Sun, and Cartwright looks at her blankly. She never heard of it. (Oh dear).
Directors come and go, each bringing their own attitudes and chips on their shoulder until they settle on the Russian director, Wikéwitch, who brings a furrowed brow and the weight of the enormous responsibility of doing Chekhov right on his shoulders. He has particular difficulties to get anything like a performance out of Ms. Seabé.
The major sponsor is a culture-challenged 'good-old-boy' who owns a tobacco company. Ms Mulgraw has words about how tobacco kills that does not sit too well with him. And there is a woman sitting in the front row who interrupts the proceedings whenever they get something wrong in Chekhov. She is a purist who does not seem to be open to experimentation. The company often engages her; often tells her to sit down; and finally learns that she writes 'reviews' for a magazine that sells cars. She has pretensions of 'being a critic, one day.' I say to myself, 'not in this lifetime, girlie.'
Anton in Show Business is billed as a satire about the theatre. It isn't. It's a jumble of clichés. After all how can you improve on the real thing? We all have seen dreadful productions of plays, and not just classics, starring talentless movie, TV stars hired for their celebrity status, directed by incompetent directors. We have seen theatre companies funded in questionable ways, only to be shut down because the funding came 'from the devil' (tobacco, booze). We've all read scribblers who know nothing about the theatre but want to be considered as critics. (Sigh).
The first speech of Anton in Show Business is a mean-spirited dirge by a bitter stage manager who tells us about Broadway being the only place to be. She says that Broadway goes from 42nd Street to 52nd Street. My brow is crinkled and I think, "No it doesn't." She says that Off-Broadway is grungy and suggests that it's not important. Again I'm thinking, "wrong again." She says that the regional theatre used to do good work but not anymore. My eyebrows are knitting. Since 2000 (when Anton in Show Business first appeared), six of the last twelve Pulitzer Prizes for Drama (one year it wasn't awarded) were given to plays that began in a regional theatre, the others went to plays that began Off-Broadway.
I'm thinking, who is this twit of a playwright, Jane Martin, who doesn't know her theatre facts? A quick search of Google when I get home. Who Jane Martin is has been a mystery for two decades. She doesn't exist. It's believed she is a pen name for Jon Jory, at one time the artistic director of the Actors' Theatre of Louisville in Kentucky. He did great work putting that theatre on the map. All of Jane Martin's plays premiered at the Actors' Theatre of Louisville with Jory directing. But no one has ever actually seen her; interviewed her; or spoken to her. Jory spoke on her behalf. To be fair one of 'Jane Martin's' plays, Keeley and Du, won the 1994 American Theatre Critics Award.
She got lucky with that one. Anton in Show Business is another matter. It is often done in university drama schools for the very reason mentioned in the play—there are more women than men in those programs, and an eight-character play all cast with women, is right up their alley. As far as I can tell it has not had a mainstream production aside from Louisville. It's not hard to see why. For the most part it's a play trying too hard to be funny and relevant.
The company of actresses is valiant. As Lisabette, Shadi Shahkhalili is doe-eyed, eager to please, and the innocent. As Casey Mulgraw the hard-working Off-Broadway actress just trying to do good work and make a living for once, Zerha Leverman is striking—she could play Masha– knowing and watchful. As Holly Seabém Teresa T. Leja is pouty, breathy, dim, and endearingly feisty when it counts. I wish that Kirsten Alter as the stage-manager (among others), did not race through her first speech, or drop the ends of her sentences. It's the set-up for the play. We have to hear every word.
While I think the play is a disappointment, there are two terrific speeches in it that do talk about the theatre that hits the mark. And both are delivered beautifully by Danka Scepanovic (who also co-directed with Danielle Bourgon). The first speech is as Wikéwitch, the Russian director. He laments that he is passionate about Chekhov, can't sleep for the fretting; that it's his life and these actresses don't have the talent to bring it off. Scepanovic, prowls the stage, raging and lamenting at the situation and it's wonderfully moving.
The second speech is said to Kate Todoravskia, the Artistic Director of the company by Joe Bob a man who made some money and has been putting it into that company…"so my wife can drag me down here to see plays nobody can understand with a buncha people I would never invite to dinner….Half the time, that stuff doesn't have a story…" Brilliant. With this one Scepanovic, is busy clearing chairs away, moving things off the stage, off-handed and absolutely hilarious. Wonderful work.
The Sterling Studio Theatre a space that works on the bare basics, but wants to give small companies a space to do their work. The actual theatre is down the dark side of a building with lousy signage. It's hard to find where the box office is without people to point the way. Rhizõma Productions, the company producing Anton in Show Business, is a company doing theatre on a shoestring. The program is spare of information like the actual dates of the production and the name of the theatre on the front cover. There is no biographical information on the actors or director.
But….on Tuesday night, Aug. 28 when I saw the play, there was a terrible rainstorm with flooding. We were told by the front of house they were holding the curtain to allow for latecomers. I over-heard other front of house folks whisper to the box office man that the toilets were not available as the plumbing was compromised and there was no electricity for some of the stuff on stage. But there was no panic. They went about their business to fix the problems with calm, efficiency and professionalism, and for that I will forgive these shoestring organizations almost anything. That kind of dedication and the eagerness to want to put on a show, is why the theatre is glorious, even when the play is lousy.

NEW! NEW! NEW! CANADA / U.S. TAX TREATY
This long awaited agreement has been signed by both governments but must still be ratified by both the Canadian Parliament and by the U.S. Senate.
The UNITED STATES is NO LONGER A CANADIAN TAX HAVEN!
BOTH GOVERNMENTS ARE NOW COLLECTING FOR EACH OTHER! I have been in the tax business for some 28 years now and have run across literally hundreds of people with serious tax problems in the U.S. who have brought their money to Canada and considered it safe. Conversely, I have met dozens of people who have put their money in the U.S. because of problems with the Canadian Tax Man. NO MORE!
The U.S. has the right under its law to tax Canadians on their U.S. Holdings and a main provision of the treaty allows Revenue Canada to collect U.S. taxes for the U.S. Government and the IRS to collect Canadian taxes for the Canadian government. This is heavy duty. The U.S. can now request income figures from Revenue Canada for a U.S. citizen living in Canada (they get the information from the U.S. Passport Office), issue an arbitrary "jeopardy" assessment against the person, and ask Revenue Canada to collect the tax.
United States GAMBLING - REFUNDS - AT LAST!
Again, I do not yet know if this section is retroactive, but I have over 200 U.S. gambling returns sitting in abeyance waiting for this amendment to the treaty. Up until 1985, the U.S. did not tax Canadians who won in Vegas, Reno, or Atlantic City. But then, Gambling winnings slipped through the treaty and Canadians became taxable at 30% of the GROSS amount received with no deductions allowed period.
The situation was silly. A person could put $5,000 into a slot machine and then hit a $2,000 jackpot. The IRS would take 30% or $600.00 and it would not be refundable. For a while, we continued to file U.S. returns and get refunds where there were losses. These returns continued to get refunds even though the instructions to the 1040NR said that no refund would be given out for gambling tax deductions for Canadians.
Then, in 1991, Mike Damasiewicz of the IRS in Washington, D.C. said that they were considering laying criminal charges against those who continued to assist Canadians with these returns. We wrote a hundred letters to Michael Wilson, Brian Mulroney, George Bush, and other government departments in both countries. I also encouraged a lot of people in my books and other newsletters and radio and television shows to prod the Governors of New Jersey and Nevada and to write their own letters to Bush and Mulroney.
It seems to have got some reaction. Canadians are now going to be allowed to deduct their losses against their winnings and will be able to get a refund if they did not really make a profit. This was all we asked for. Following this is an example of a Gambling Loss Form from the CAL-NEVA Casino in Reno. These are available from every Casino when one is playing the slot machines. If you are a gambler, make sure you get one after plugging a slot for a while. If you play Bingo, keep a record. If you play the horses, don't throw away your losing bets, they may be deductible.
NO MORE DOUBLE TAXATION ON U.S. ESTATES!
(RETROACTIVE to November 10, 1988)
Up until "now", if a Canadian died leaving U.S. assets which had accumulated large amounts of capital gains, (an extreme example would be a waterfront house in Cape Coral, Florida, which was bought for $35,000 in 1967 and worth up to $3,000,000 today) it was possible to have up to 90% total taxation upon the death of the owner. This is because the U.S. would tax the corpus of the estate at up to 55% and Canada would tax the capital gains at what could be another 42%.
For Estate purposes, the U.S. will tax the value of a U.S. home and its furnishings (including a mobile home, sailboat, timeshare, condo, or ski chalet), government or corporate bonds, stock in U.S. corporations, and even a U.S. club membership. The U.S. does not tax a Canadian's money on deposit in a U.S. bank unless it is associated with a trade or business. What this means is that if a Canadian in West Vancouver (or Toronto, or Winnipeg) owned $1,300,000 of Bank of America Stock, his estate would owe estate tax to the U.S. upon his death even if he or she had never been to the U.S. However, if there was $1,300,000 cash on deposit in the Bank of America, there would be no estate tax, even if the Canadian spent 120 days a year in the U.S. (After 120 days, the U.S. would start taxing the Canadian on world income - see the April, 1994 CEN-TAPEDE.).
The NEW FAVOURABLE wrinkles are:
1. There is a $1,200,000 worldwide estate tax exemption for stock holdings in the U.S. What this means is that if your worldwide estate is less than $1,200,000 U.S., you will not pay estate tax on your U.S. shareholdings. Note though, that this exemption does not apply to real estate, boats, cars, etc. Also note that the IRS can tax the value of the shares even if they are located in Canada and the new Tax Treaty means that the CANADIAN Government will collect the tax for the U.S.
2. The old $60,000 non-resident exempt limitation has been changed to a proportion of the $600,000 allowed to a U.S. citizen or resident. For simplicity, let us assume that the Canadian's worldwide estate is $1,600,000 and the U.S. portion of that is $400,000. For the purposes of the exemption, the calculation would be $400,000/$1,600,000 x $600,000 or $150,000. The non-exempt portion of $250,000 ($400,000-$150,000) would be subject to U.S. Estate tax of $70,800.
(The wrinkle here is that if the U.S. estate represented a purchase price of say $100,000 and a date of death value of $400,000, Canada's deemed disposal rules would create a Canadian capital gain of $300,000 and a taxable capital gain of $225,000 (75% of $300,000). A 50% Canadian marginal tax rate would mean a Canadian Capital Gains tax of $112,500 and under the new treaty rules, Canada would allow the $70,800 as a foreign tax credit against the $112,500 and the estate would only owe $41,700 to Revenue Canada.
However, the credit is only available against the U.S. sited assets. If the person had made the profit in Canada and paid all his tax and then went to the U.S. and bought a $1,000,000 house or $1,000,000 of Stock and the items had not gone up in value, the estate tax would still be payable and the person would have paid the capital gains tax. Think about this the next time you think that U.S. tax rates are lower than CANADA. (See the February, 94 CEN-TAPEDE for gift tax rates.)
United States Citizens Owning Canadian Companies
(or shares of companies in any other country)
The Dreaded Form 5471
A warning to accountants and bankers. This could be your client. Since May, I have had three or four people tell me that they have known of the form but been told by their CANADIAN accountant that they do not need to file this form because no one else does. This is simply NOT TRUE! and the fines are enormous.
The United States government is very concerned with the possibility of its citizens or green card holders using shareholdings of foreign companies to hide income and assets. Although the legislation is designed to catch someone in San Francisco who is hiding money in the Grand Cayman Islands for example, the legislation catches all U.S. citizens living in Canada if they own 5% or more of a Canadian Company.
We are talking serious here. The MINIMUM fine for failure to file the form 5471 and tell the IRS the details of the company of which you own 5% or more of is 10% of the tax PLUS $1,000 for the first 90 day default. If notified by the IRS of the default, further penalties of $1,000 are added for each 30 day default to a maximum of $25,000. If you did not file or report income because it was "tax free anyway under a treaty", the minimum fine for not reporting the treaty position is $10,000. If you haven't filed for five years here, we are talking VERY serious money.
Remember the 5471! If you are a U.S. Citizen or if you have a green card and you own 5% or more (even if you inherited them or your father gave them to you as an early inheritance), make sure you file your 5471 each year. This last situation is one of the great conflicts of life. Father gives his children shares for Canadian tax purposes. Three of the kids move to the U.S. Father now finds the U.S. authorities wanting more information about his Canadian company than Revenue Canada wants.
The Dreaded Form 5472 (foreigners owning U.S. Corporations or corporations "Deemed" to be U.S. Corporations)
In the opposite case where a Canadian owns 25% of the shares of a U.S. corporation (for instance, shopping centre in Phoenix) and does not report certain transactions between himself and the corporation), the fines are $10,000 for the first 90 days and $10,000 every thirty days thereafter. The same fines could be imposed on a CANADIAN CORPORATION that was deemed to be a U.S. Corporation because of the amount of business it does in the U.S. and because it has a fixed base in the U.S. (i.e., that same shopping centre in Phoenix). There are THREE separate situations where the form should be filed. The fines are cumulative and it is possible to be accruing $30,000 a month of fines if for some reason or other, the IRS has written to the last address they have for you and demanded the forms. Please note that even if the request or demand has been returned to the IRS as undeliverable, the fines still stand because all that is required is for the IRS to write to the last address you provided for them. Therefore, if you are one of the 400,000 or so U.S. citizens who have stopped filing your U.S. tax returns (remember, all U.S. citizens in CANADA must continue to file their U.S. returns) and you have moved, you could have large bills accruing against you. The largest I have seen was over $200,000 U.S. of tax and penalties which the client had never been notified of.
As I was writing this section, a lady from Calgary with rental property in Arizona phoned to ask some questions after I had done a Ron Collister program on CHED in Edmonton. She and her husband had lost money on the rentals and were told by her Canadian Chartered Accountant that they did not need to file a U.S. return because they had lost money. This information or answer was wrong both ways. If no return is filed in the U.S., the minimum penalty is 30% of the GROSS rent with no deductions allowed. In addition, the IRS can impose an arbitrary $10,000 fine which is almost impossible to appeal. The information would also have been incorrect for a U.S. resident with a rental in Canada. In this case, even if the rental lost money, Canada would tax a minimum of 25% of the gross rent with no deductions allowed for expenses. Arizona, Hawaii, California and another 40 U.S. states also require a tax return whether you made a profit or not. And don't forget Hawaii's G.E.T. (general excise tax) and T.A.T. (transient accommodation tax) which have to be paid on rental properties even if all money changed hands in Canada.
I must reiterate. Do not deal with any tax advisor who does not specialize in "out of country matters" if you are dealing across international borders.
Health Insurance when returning to CANADA
I just returned from a trip to Kelowna, Calgary, Drumheller, Dinosaur Provincial Park, Eastend (for the Tyrannosaurus Rex dig), Regina, Brandon, Winnipeg, Selkirk, Batoche, Duck Lake, Edmonton, and Vancouver. While in Regina, I drove around the Legislative Grounds where I once protested the implementation of Universal Medicare.
How wrong I and thousands of other misinformed individuals were at that time. In the last two years, my family has used emergency medical services in Ottawa, Portage la Prairie, Calgary, Kelowna and Merritt as well as our own home base in North Vancouver.
Nothing more than a B.C. Medical card was needed to receive instant and courteous service at all locations in Canada. It was not necessary to produce cash, cheque or credit card. On the other hand, service in San Diego required cash payment up front and the submission of the bill to three separate companies for reimbursement.
Still, we are not perfect today and one of the problems of the CANADA HEALTH ACT is that it allows the provinces to set different rules for their coverage.
As an example, BC charges a premium for coverage (but if you haven't paid your premium, you will still be covered at an emergency ward), and Alberta does not. Some provinces will cover your out-of-province hospital bill for the same amount as they would pay a local hospital.
Hospital Day Rate
BC has only covered your out of province hospital bill for $75.00 a day and Ontario has just followed suit even though this is specifically against the rules of the CANADA HEALTH ACT. This means that if you get charged $2,000 a day in San Francisco for a total of $8,000, B C Medical will only reimburse $300.00 and you or your extended coverage are responsible for the other $7,700.
It is easy enough to buy temporary out of country coverage but some of the rates have gone out of sight, particularly for those over the age of 65.
Waiting Period for returning Canadians or new immigrants.
BC and New Brunswick have always had a 90 day waiting period for coverage and if I remember correctly, Saskatchewan and Manitoba had the same thing at one time. The reason is obvious. It stops someone from moving to BC and immediately using up expensive medical services. It can be revoked however by ministerial discretion. In early 1994, Paul Ramsay, BC's Health Minister cancelled the 90 day waiting period to allow a woman who was dying of cancer to return to BC from the U.S. where she did not have coverage unless she was physically in a U.S. military hospital.
What this means is that if you leave a job in Singapore and move back to Canada and settle in BC or New Brunswick or now, Ontario, you will not be covered for medical services until you have been in the province for 90 days. A number of companies can sell you a policy that will cover you just as if you were buying an emergency policy for someone who was visiting you from another country.
As a resource person, you might try Alec Bodrogi of Seavury & Smith in Vancouver. His phone number is (604) 669-3566 (fax to 681-0170). John Ingles Insurance is also in the process of coming up with a policy which will fit here as a provincial health care replacement policy.
INTENT TO LIVE IN A PROVINCE
It is not enough to just be in the province for 90 days to qualify either. You must fall into the following category to qualify. Remember, the physical possession of a medical card is not enough to be covered. If the medical plan discovers that you do not really qualify, the plan can cancel your coverage retroactively for up to 10 years. When they do this, they refund the premiums paid and bill you for the services. Although not common, I know of $80,000 past service medical bills from BC Medical and they are cancelling about 60 people a day. New Brunswick has discovered that there are some 32,000 more medical cards in existence than there are people in the province. This is because people have slipped across the border from Maine or Vermont or New York and obtained New Brunswick Medical cards or they have just kept them active when they have moved to the United States or a jurisdiction with no coverage.
To be qualified for a Canadian provincial medical plan's coverage, an individual must:
1. Be lawfully admitted as a resident of Canada, AND
2. Make his or her home in the province, AND
3. Be physically present in the province for at least 183 days.
This last item is the real kicker. Under this rule, even if you make your home in a province, if you spend four months of the winter in the sun in Mexico or the U.S. and four months of the summer in the Yukon panning for gold and four months of the fall and spring in Vancouver at your home, you would not qualify for either Yukon or BC Medical.
And remember, if you spend 180 days in the U.S. and come back to Canada, if you were to go to another province for two weeks, you have been out of your province for more than 183 days. Your provincial medical would be technically cancelled unless you had written permission to leave under those circumstances. If you have a question, do yourself a favour and write to your provincial medical plan if you intend to be away for more than four or five months. Also remember that most extended benefit plans depend upon your being a member of a provincial plan first. Cancellation of the provincial coverage cancels all the other plans which you have added on.
(I had already written the preceding paragraph when I received a call from Edmonton from a CHED "Ron Collister" listener who had heard our Sept 2, 94 broadcast (over 80 people have now phoned me in Vancouver over that program). This gentleman spends 6 months of the year in Arizona and another month or two in Europe and travelling. He had paid some $1,000 out in medical fees in Paris last year and is not having any success getting his money back from Alberta Medical or his extended plans because his recent claims have shown him to be out of the province more than he is in the province. This was actually my first instance of a real live person from Alberta being turned down although I know of hundreds from BC and Ontario.)
Moving back to Canada (and a province)
If you are moving back to BC, New Brunswick or Ontario from out of the country, make sure that your old coverage covers you for your first 100 days or so in Canada. As you get off the plane in BC, New Brunswick or Ontario, make sure that you fill in your medical plan application the first day.
Remember that even if you get the traveller's insurance or the new John Ingles policy, you will likely find that pre-existing conditions are excluded. Unless you are lucky enough to have Paul Ramsay waive the waiting period as he did in the aforementioned case, you could find yourself unable to pay for your continuing care during the interim period because you can't afford Canadian medical costs. i.e. If you are working overseas and end up in a hospital in Singapore, and have to come back to Canada, you could find yourself in the position that you can't come back.
For instance, if you are claiming the following federal and provincial tax credit, you are officially stating to the government that you do not qualify for your provincial medical plan. To get the OETC you have to state you have been out of Canada for more than six months.
CANADIAN OVERSEAS EMPLOYMENT TAX CREDIT - T626
The U.S. allows any of its citizens working at any occupation out of the country (for any employer including ones self) to exempt up to $70,000 U.S. (plus housing costs) from taxable income (you still have to report it first before you exempt the income). To qualify, they must be out of the country for 330 out of 365 days OR have a bone fide residence in another country for an entire calender year from Jan 1 to Dec 31st.
At first glance, it would seem that Canada has much tighter rules. Only persons who are working overseas for a specified employer at a specified occupation are entitled to an Overseas Employment Tax Credit and if they are paying a high foreign tax as they would working in Libya, Chile or Borneo, they may claim a foreign tax credit as well on the money that is not eligible for the OETC. The difference is that a Canadian only has to be away for 6 months to qualify for the exemption and can even come home for a holiday.
It works like this. A specified employer is a Canadian company or a partnership or foreign affiliate where at least 10% of the company is owned by Canadian Residents.
The employment must be for mining, extraction or exploration of petroleum or mineral resources or for construction or computer sciences or other prescribed services. However, it cannot be for sales or maintenance or for flying an airplane for instance.
Essentially, 80% of the overseas earnings up to a total of $80,000 are excluded from Canadian basic income tax although when one gets over $40,000 of net income, the alternative minimum tax does kick in.
Because of the way the calculation works, people in this position should usually not buy an RRSP but should save their eligible room for the future. (When they report their gross earnings, they accrue an RRSP deductible amount which is called the RRSP "ROOM". This room can be accumulated and saved for use in future years. In the meantime, the person should still buy the savings plan they would have bought for the RRSP. When it is worthwhile, they can just register the plan as an RRSP and get the deduction when it is worth more.)
The $80,000 is pro-rated by the number of days worked out of the country. Therefore a nine month employment would have a limit of $60,000 of earning eligible for the tax credit.
To qualify, one must be performing the duties for at least 6 continuous months out of Canada. A problem arises when a person comes back to Canada for vacations, funerals, etc. Bulletin IT497R2 makes it clear that one can return to Canada for any of the above and could even come back and work on his own farm (lots of Kuwait, Libya, and Saudi Arabia oil workers are Alberta farmers for instance and come home to work on the farm for spring planting and fall harvest) or for another company. It also seems clear to me that the employee must NOT perform any constructive duties for his overseas employer while in CANADA unless the employee is performing those duties "in between" two periods which will exceed six months each. This is because one must work for six continuous months in the overseas position before he or she qualifies for the OETC.

The Division was raised in Bangalore on the 1st April 1942 by Maj/Gen Sir Douglas Gracey (KCIE CB CBE MC) who Commanded them through out there training in Ceylon and it's active service in Assam, Burma, and Indo-China, until they were disbanded in April-May 1946.
The Division distinguished itself in the Burma Campaign particularly during the Defence of the Imphal plain, during the spring and early summer of 1944. they also took part in the breakout from the Irrawaddy Bridgehead a year later.
In September 1946 the Division moved to French Indo-China where it concentrated and disarmed 70,000 Japanese troops.


2. Cognitive complexity and language-rich environments – IQ gains of more than seven points.
Exposure to cognitively rich activities—books, puzzles, interesting verbal interactions—was found to raise young children's IQs by more than seven points. These activities were particularly effective for children from economically disadvantaged homes who attended specially designed day care centers that offered these opportunities. Parents at home can also be trained to offer the same kinds of stimulating activities. Not all intellectual stimulation is the same, though: Music, computerized games of attention skills, and nonverbal reasoning tasks did not raise IQ.
For decades, we've known that when adults talk with young children it stimulates cognitive development. These analyses showed that one unique style of conversation, in which the adult encourages a child to reminisce about or narrate her experiences, is especially effective. In one study of 20-month-olds, mothers were trained to draw out a child's stories with open-ended questions, to listen well, and to encourage the child's interests. The result? Compared to a control group, the children had a six point rise in IQ.
3. Interactive reading, especially before age 4 – IQ gains over six points.
Again, we've known for some time that reading to children enhances their cognitive development. This analysis showed that it's the interactive nature of the reading process that's most helpful. When parents help children learn to read, when they ask open-ended questions, when they follow the child's interests in the story, children benefit. It's the active participation of both parties that fosters the deeper thinking skills.
4. Attending a quality preschool, especially those that emphasize language development – IQ gains over seven points.
Sending children to preschool alone made a four-point IQ gain, but preschools with a focus on language skills created a seven-point gain, again especially for economically disadvantaged children. Language-rich programs expose children to new ideas, labels for concepts, and new problem-solving opportunities, all important early intellectual skills. Shorter programs were just as effective as longer programs.
The authors take care to say that this study is not the final word on children's intelligence and that more work needs to be done. They're in the process of creating a large Database of Raising Intelligence to sort out strategies that work from those that don't, and to determine the sensitive periods, or windows of opportunity, for various intelligence-raising interventions for children who need them. For example, it didn't seem to matter whether economically disadvantaged children received an earlier center-based intervention or one that took place a little later.
Many parents believe that the more they stimulate a child, the farther ahead a child will be. The common thread I see in this research, and something that developmental psychologists already know, is that the best environments for children are ones in which an adult is interested in and enjoys a child. (My grown daughters fondly remember their dad's science demonstrations in the fireplace.) Psychologists say that relationships are "developmental delivery vehicles." That is, an adult's genuine interest translates naturally into language-rich interactions that sensitively and joyfully teach children on multiple levels simultaneously, and the physical and emotional closeness and undivided attention convey security and help focus a child's learning.
And don't forget the fish oil.

Jorge Alejandro Muñoz Luna (Linares, Región del Maule, 21 de diciembre de 1961), conocido popularmente como Pindinga Muñoz, es un exfutbolista chileno. Jugaba de Extremo militando en diversos clubes de Chile y el extranjero.

Trayectoria
El Pindinga debutó en 1979 en Deportes Linares, club de su ciudad natal que en ese momento se desempeñaba en Segunda División. Tras mostrar buen desempeño ante el entrenador de San Luis, Eduardo Punto Silva, el Pindinga ficha por este cuadro en 1980.

Debuta con el equipo quillotano ante San Antonio Unido, ese mismo año, convirtiendo además el único gol del encuentro, desde entonces participa en  importantes actuaciones que le hacen ganar reconocimiento a nivel nacional al formar un interesante tridente delantero con Patricio Yáñez y Víctor Cabrera. Ese año San Luis gana de forma contundente las dos competencias de Segunda División y logra un histórico ascenso.

Luego del ascenso el equipo solo se mantiene una temporada en Primera División, juega 1982 en Segunda y logra nuevamente un ascenso en la última temporada que Muñoz se mantuvo en el plantel.

En 1984 es contratado por Huachipato, donde consigue un alto rendimiento, consecuencia de lo anterior, es citado por primera vez a la selección nacional. En diciembre de 1985, cuando llevaba 9 goles en 23 partidos por el torneo, es fichado por el RCD Mallorca de la Segunda División de España en reemplazo del finés Mika Lipponen. En Mallorca logra un bajo desempeño, por lo cual retorna a Chile antes de la fecha estipulada.

En marzo de 1986 ficha por la Universidad Católica, club donde al año siguiente logra su primer Campeonato Nacional. Tras dejar el equipo cruzado para llegar a Cobreloa en 1988, repite otro campeonato el mismo año.

Muñoz se mantiene en Cobreloa hasta 1990, año en que es contratado por Santiago Wanderers para la temporada 1991, club en el que no muestra un buen rendimiento y hace un hiato en su carrera para dedicarse a la regencia de su gimnasio en Quillota.

En 1992 retorna a San Luis que estaba en Tercera División para jugar la liguilla de ascenso con gran expectación, pero el equipo solo remata cuarto y se mantiene en el fútbol amateur.

Regresa al fútbol profesional en Audax Italiano que jugaba en Segunda División, donde se mantiene por un breve periodo para retornar en 1993 de la mano de Ignacio Prieto, mismo entrenador con el que fue campeón en 1987, a una Universidad Católica que poseía una importante carga de partidos (el equipo cruzado llegó ese año a la final de la Copa Libertadores), su segundo ciclo en San Carlos de Apoquindo no fue con las mismas luces del anterior, por lo que en 1994 ficha en Provincial Osorno.

En 1995 Muñoz recala en Deportes Antofagasta, club donde juega a un buen nivel, pero que tras buenas campañas, desciende en 1997. Es entonces cuando vuelve a Huachipato en 1998 de la mano del entrenador croata Andrija Perčić que lo dirigió en Antofagasta.

El año 1999 ya en la etapa final de su carrera, acepta una oferta del Jacksonville Cyclones, club que se disuelve el mismo año de su llegada por problemas financieros. Por consiguiente Pindinga se retira del fútbol profesional y se radica en Estados Unidos.

Selección nacional
Jorge Muñoz debutó el 9 de octubre de 1985 por la selección de fútbol de Chile, bajo la dirección técnica de Pedro Morales y en un partido amistoso ante Paraguay en Asunción. Posterior a este duelo donde fue titular, alineó en otros dos amistosos el mismo mes, ante Uruguay y Paraguay en Santiago, los días 16 y 19 respectivamente.

El 17 de noviembre de ese mismo año consigue su debut en partidos oficiales, en el marco del repechaje por las Eliminatorias para México 1986, Chile necesitaba derrotar a Paraguay por una diferencia mayor a tres goles. Muñoz ingresó en el entretiempo y consiguió su primer y único gol por el combinado rojo, el empate a 2-2 en el minuto 80' de partido, resultado que no fue suficiente para la clasificación.

Tras estos partidos, Muñoz no volvió a jugar por el representativo chileno. Finalizando con un saldo de 4 partidos jugados y 1 gol convertido.

Vida personal
Jorge Muñoz fue mayormente reconocido con su apodo de Pindinga el cual se origina por la deformación de la palabra Pitinga, nombre que sus amigos de infancia en Linares le daban a cierto tipo de pájaro que se movía con rapidez, haciendo una analogía a su forma de jugar.
En 1999 el equipo por el que había fichado por dos temporadas, el Jacksonville Cyclones se disolvió, aun así siguió radicado en Jacksonville con su mujer y sus tres hijos para posteriormente trasladarse a San Agustín. Actualmente sigue ligado al fútbol como preparador de arqueros de una escuela de fútbol.

In the Norrbottens Naturkarta (Norrbotten's Outdoor map), you get tips for your hike in the Swedish mountains. You can also download it offline and have it available when you are without mobile coverage.
We recommend you to download the app "Brandrisk ute".
The small footbridge is closed for a few Days from 2 July.
Now an updated version of the National Park Visitor's Folder has been published!
The construction of the new Entrance Ösjönäs has started, at "Mellannäset" in the south-west corner of lake Stora Trehörningen. The construction work is expected to be completed in november 2017. The completed entrance will contain toilets, waste disposal, picnic site, information and parking.
In the early morning hours on august 2nd a fire was discovered south of the Main Entrance in Tivedens National Park. Fire and rescue services could contain the fire and had it extinguished later the same day. Roads were temporarily closed during this effort. None of the trails within the National Park were affected by the fire. The fire covered approximately 3 hectares of land.
Due to the rebuilding of the main entrance in the summer 2016, we refer visitors of the national park to the entrance Vitsand, about 2 km northwest of the main entrance (about 7 km by car).
Now the rebuilding of the main entrance has started. The new buildings will be ready by summer. While the construction is in progress, part of the parking lot is closed-off.
Now we have started to put up new marks along the trails in Tiveden National Park. Each trail/turn will get a unique color symbol to make it easier for you to find your way around.

The Complete Letters of Henry James fills a crucial gap in modern literary studies by presenting in a scholarly edition the complete letters of one of the great novelists and letter writers of the English language. Comprising more than ten thousand letters reflecting on a remarkably wide range of topics—from James's own life and literary projects to broader questions on art, literature, and criticism—this edition will be an indispensable resource for students of James and of American and English literature, culture, and criticism. It will also be essential for research libraries throughout North America and Europe and for scholars who specialize in James, the European novel, and modern literature.
Henry James Society
Our mission is to offer Henry James scholars and other interested persons an opportunity to share in the study and appreciation of the life and works of the author. A non-profit educational organization, the Henry James Society provides a medium of communication for Henry James scholars and expands the possibilities for Henry James studies through annual meetings, special symposiums, and The Henry James Review.
The James Family Papers archive is comprised of documents belonging to Ms. Bay James and on loan to the Center for Henry James Studies at Creighton University. Ms. James loaned the documents to the James Center in order to preserve and protect them, to make them centrally available for family members, and also, at the same time, to make them available to scholars.

Review: 2018-08-18 - St. Augustine Amphitheater - St. Augustine, FL
ClanW last edited by Johnny Love
Setlist, Attendance, and Recordings for: 2018-08-18 - St. Augustine Amphitheater - St. Augustine, FL
The Oldest City in America! When I looked through the tour list after Spafford announced they would be returning to the road with Umphrey's, there was one show that called to me. One show that I knew if I was going to catch them at all this tour, it would HAVE to be that that show in St. Augustine.
For those who have never been, I personally think St. Augustine is the best city in Florida. In what other state can you dangle your feet over the bay while sitting on a moat wall built in the 1500s? So much history, so much peace, and so much fun. I used to live there and the thought of seeing Spafford rip up the same stage I used to perform on as an actor made me giddy. A home show away from home. And I also would get to introduce a good friend to my favorite Florida city. Let's do it!!!
I stopped and received my pit wristband from the very friendly amphitheater attendant just as Spafford kicked into the opening notes of Eternity. "Damn! I'll never get close to the front now," I thought. But when we rounded the corner of the food booth I saw hardly anyone standing in the pit. Dancing down the steps, across the pit floor, all the way up to the 2nd row back from the rail. "Let it play straight from the Heavens, bring that joyful music raining down on me." Eternity was a nice little warm-up. It's not necessarily one of my favorites songs but this eternal city on the Florida coast seemed to be calling for it. As the song comes to an end, I look around. The S'nerds are into it, but others seem to be just waiting for Um and talking.
Then I hear coming from the stage that funky strut rhythm. Wow! Could they really be dropping a Double-Time right now?! Yes, yes, they are. A smile stretches across my face and the funk fills my booty and my body begins to really jam. Funny thing is, those talkers and folks just hanging out, they begin to move too. Jordan's bass sounded extra crisp to me. Strong and clear with a nice mix overall. Double Time is the song that woke everyone up…including Brian. During the short jam section, the Moss face started. Tongue out, jumping up and down, this is when the feeling hit. On the short side, but full of feeling.
Double Time ends and both Jordan and Brian step back on the stage to let Red take the stage. With a soft rolling key intro, it could only be one song…Beautiful Day. I felt this one coming before the show. A sunny Saturday, with few puffy clouds in the sky, it almost screamed for a Beautiful Day to settle out the hard funk before it. As Red winds into the song a guy standing next to me asks what they have played already. I tell him the list so far. "Is this Beautiful Day they are rolling into?" my new friend asks. "Yessir it is!" I hand him some of my St. Augustine slaps and a Dis Go pin that I had on me. He smiles and says "Awesome! They played this in Orlando." Red's voice is spot on today. It's strong and clear and just floats over the melody. The "old school Badshoe "T" was replaced by "New school." Wish I could have heard it but the chompers standing next to me on the rail overpower Red, and I couldn't catch it. Hopefully we will hear it on a recording.
Beautiful Day ends and there are some nods from Brian to the rest of the boys and they break into the next song. At first, it's as if my ears don't believe what they hear. "Holy Great Gaps, Batman!!! It's a Virtual Bean Dip." All of a sudden I get a tingle up my back. I know they haven't played this one in a bit so this feels special. This would be the song that all the boys seem to really connect too! Watching Brian and Cam communicate non-verbally during this tune was amazing. The jam seemed cohesive as a whole and they were really paying attention to the small things. Cam's fills seemed more confident now, or maybe just more warmed up. I don't know exactly but they definitely feel at this point that they have hit a groove they really like. The crowd feels it too as they have stood up, even those in the nearly empty seats have begun to dance hard.
VBD begins to mellow out and there is a shift in the drums. An island rhythm begins to form and there can be no doubt for those that know. For the first time it feels as if we might get a bleed. Slowly the change comes. Next change comes from Red and now there is certainly no doubt. They finally drop into Salamander Song after a fairly long and patient bleed. Even those who are only partially familiar with Spafford know this one and the whole crowd begins to dance. A nice version of Salamander and they carried over the connection they had found during VBD. The song is blissful and upbeat and leaves everyone "dancing the whole way home." The crowd breaks into applause and those of us at the rail begin yelling our heads off thanking the boys for the show.
I'm waiting for them to walk off stage before I leave my spot but, Brian turns and looks out at the sound board area with a face that seems to say, "One more? Do we have time?" A look over to stage left another glance back to the soundboard. You can see Brian say "Yeah?" and Red sits back down at the keys. YES!!!! One more final song. What will they play? They are talking among themselves for a second and all of these hopeful ideas float through my head. There was one song besides Broken Wing I was hoping for. Then, as if my thoughts had been beamed directly into their heads, the opening of Hollywood. I have been waiting to hear this song for a minute now. Not a long version but a tight one. Again I have to remark at the boys communication on stage. The way they listen and respond during songs is something I haven't seen to this degree in a long time from a band.
The set ends with a cute little finality and I stand there, wrapped in the warm Hollywood fuzz they left me with. They played a range of song from the get downs to the lyrically driven and it's that range that makes me continue to follow this band around the country. I thought that maybe the Umphrey's fans were waiting till closer to the start of Um to come in, but even when they came on the St. Augustine Amphitheater was still somewhat empty in the back. If you ever have a chance to see a show at this venue, TAKE IT! The venue itself is small but beautiful, and the city is amazing place to spend a few days. Moe. and Widespread will be playing there later in the year just FYI.
After the show I pull out my phone to see just how long it's been since Hollywood was played and I'm surprised to see some of the gaps. Eternity was last played on 2018-03-10, Double Time last played on 2018-03-14, Virtual Bean Dip last played on 2018-03-11, and Hollywood last played on 2018-03-07. That's a hell of a lot of gaps dropped on this show folks and some of those songs people have been waiting to return. Loved the easy feeling of the show to match the easy feeling that St. Augustine gives you. I left the city relaxed, centered, and totally excited for what they might drop at Lockn'!!!!! I'll see you 'nerds in Virginia!!!!!!!

Awesome review @ClanW ! I love the sound of this set, can't wait for it to drop. My wife lived and studied in St Aug for a few years ... I've never been but she frequently tries to sell me on moving there. If Spafford keeps playing the shit out of FL, I may take her up on this :)
ClanW last edited by @Johnny Love
@Johnny-Love It's a feeling of what Florida is supposed to be as far as I'm concerned. Other than the possibility of hurricanes, it's damn near paradise. Any time they play there, I'll be there.

Load Testing in Clojure

Clojure Remote Conference 2016

						Created by Markus Hjort / @mhjort

          Load testing is the process of putting demand on a software system or computing
          device and measuring its response. Load testing is performed to determine a
          system's behavior under both normal and anticipated peak load conditions
          --Wikipedia

In practice

1) Define scenarios

Scenarios as code

Scenario

{:name "Login & logout"
 :requests [{:name "Login" :fn login}
             :name "Logout" :fn logout}}

Scenario actions

           (defn- ok? [cb {:keys [status]}]
              (cb (= 200 status)))

            (defn login [cb]
              (http/get "http://my-service/login"
                        {}
                        (partial ok? cb)))

            (defn logout [cb]
              (http/get "http://my-service/logout"
                        {}
                        (partial ok? cb)))

Simulation

            [{:name "Login & logout"
              :weight 5
              :requests [...]}
             {:name "Register"
              :weight 1
              :requests [...]}]

2) Generate load (=run)

Things to consider

Load generation

Determinism

Long run

Concurrent scenarios

              (map (fn [virtual-user-id]
                      (go
                         (run-scenario virtual-user-id)))
                   (range concurrency))

Sequential scenario steps

(go
  (doseq [request requests]
    (let [response (chan)
          callback (fn [result] (put! response result))]
      (request callback)
      (>! scenario-result (<! response)))))

Long running scenarios

            (let [response (chan)]
              (go-loop []
                (let [result (<! (run-scenario)]
                  (>! response result)))
                (when (should-continue?)
                  recur)))

3) Analyze the results

Moar load

AWS Lambda - run your functions in cloud

Lambda runner

(deflambdafn loadTesting.LambdaFn [is os ctx]
  (let [input (parse-stream (io/reader is) true)
    (run-simulation (:scenarios input)
                    (:concurrency input))

Remote invoker

(let [payload {:simulation 'simulations/login-simulation
               :concurrency 100}]
  (.invoke (AWSLambdaClient.)
           (-> (InvokeRequest.)
             (.withFunctionName "LoadTestingLambda")
             (.withPayload (generate-string payload)))))

Lambdas in parallel

(map #(thread (invoke-lambda % simulation concurrency))

ASA Ruling on Equicast UK
Internet (on own site)
Share page...
Equicast UK
A website for Equicast UK, www.equicast.co.uk, a supplier of products designed to relieve problems in horse hooves seen 18 April 2017, promoted a product called "Equicast". Text on the page stated "Equicast can be used as a "spare tyre" (that the owner applies) until a farrier can replace the shoe". Further down the page a sub-heading stated "Three Ways to Apply Equicast". Below the sub-heading were three images of a person applying the product to a horse hoof. Another heading on the page stated "Conventional shoeing methods". Text underneath the heading stated "Equicast is a product that can be applied by a veterinarian, blacksmith, owner or trainer".
The complainant, who understood that the product could only be applied by registered farriers, challenged whether the ad was misleading by omitting that information.
Equicast UK did not respond to the ASA enquiries.
The ASA was concerned by Equicast UK's lack of response and apparent disregard for the Code, and ruled that they had breached CAP Code (Edition 12) rule 1.7 (Unreasonable delay). We reminded them of their responsibility to respond promptly to our enquiries and told them to do so in future.
We noted that the ad stated "Equicast can be used as a "spare tyre" (that the owner applies) until a farrier can replace the shoe" and "Equicast is a product that can be applied by a veterinarian, blacksmith, owner or trainer". We also noted that the ad included images of how the product should be applied. We considered that consumers were likely to understand from the ad that Equicast could be bought and applied by persons other than farriers.
We understood that in accordance with the Farriers (Registration Act) 1975, it was illegal for people other than registered farriers to carry out any farriery work. We noted that the Act defined farriery work as "any work in connection with the preparation or treatment of the foot of a horse for the immediate reception of a shoe thereon …". We noted from the Farrier Registration Council's website that they considered the application of bandage-like material known as "hoof wraps", to amount to farriery. Based on that information, we considered that the application of Equicast onto a horse hoof would be considered as farriery.
We considered that it was material information for consumers to be aware that it was illegal for people other than registered farriers to apply Equicast. Because that information was omitted from the ad, we concluded that the ad was misleading.
The ad breached CAP Code (Edition 12) rules 3.1 3.1 Marketing communications must not materially mislead or be likely to do so. and 3.3 3.3 Marketing communications must not mislead the consumer by omitting material information. They must not mislead by hiding material information or presenting it in an unclear, unintelligible, ambiguous or untimely manner.
Material information is information that the consumer needs to make informed decisions in relation to a product. Whether the omission or presentation of material information is likely to mislead the consumer depends on the context, the medium and, if the medium of the marketing communication is constrained by time or space, the measures that the marketer takes to make that information available to the consumer by other means. (Misleading advertising).
The ad must not appear again its current form. We told Equicast UK to make clear in future that it was illegal for people other than registered farriers to apply Equicast. We referred the matter to CAP's Compliance team.

Q: Is there a way to check if an istream was opened in binary mode? I'm using an istream which could be stringstream, ifstream or a user-defined stream type and I need to know if, in the case of an ifstream, it was not opened in binary mode (so I can throw an exception). I have tried the following method:
if ((_is.flags() & ios::binary) == 0)
    throw exception(...)

but no exception is ever thrown. The test fails in this case because _is.flags() returns 0x201 and ios::binary is 0x20. Is there a way to find out if a stream was opened in text mode?

A: Nope, there is no way to test this.

A: flags() returns ios_base::fmtflags which is formatting flags, whereas binary is an ios_base::openmode flag. I'm not sure if there is a way to find these out once the stream is already open. I was thinking that maybe there was a virtual member of the streambuf class that could help, but there doesn't really seem to be.

Season 4 of Serial Chillers is Coming Together Nice!
On the heels of a nearly 4 hour recording session for episode 84 of this upcoming season, several large files are all headed to the bunker's top secret computer so that HellaGreg may do what he does and get them to your ears!
So far this season we've already had guests like Biggfoot, Robbie, Josh, Paul, Lindsay and Bree with many more to come! We haven't had a single recording session that has ran shorter than 2 hours and have been having a blast doing it! We can't wait to bring it to you guys and see what you think!
A lot is happening with the show, the network and the world and we plan on continuing to progress and evolve in the best way possible and we couldn't do it without people like you!
Next post: So I was thinking about the ocean….
I love it when as you go to break we get to hear you guys start chatting as the music comes up and then your chatting fades out — you really should use that effect more. Great podcast overall. Well done.


I have a friend who was excited about taking her son to see the movie Black Panther. So when I saw a file for the Black Panther I bought it and decided to make her son a t-shirt.
I had measured the shirt front to determine what I thought was a good size for the design and then I cut it. When cutting HTV I always use multi-cut and make 2 passes. I used black ThermoFLEX heat transfer vinyl and silver Glitterflex II. The shirt was a $5 shirt from Walmart. When I placed the design on the shirt it seemed small so I decided to make it larger and recut. Much better!
Because I didn't want to waste the smaller cut I decided to apply it to a cinch bag.

Napoli must do everything they can to keep Arsenal target Jose Callejon at the club. The former Real Madrid striker is reportedly unhappy at the Stadio San Paulo, and may move to the Emirates Stadium despite the club rejecting approaches away from the club in the summer.
But with Rafael Benitez's side struggling in Serie A, the Spaniard needs as many attacking reinforcements as possible and must convince one of his most important assets to snub English interest and remain in Naples.
Callejon only signed on with the Italian giants last summer, and went on to enjoy his first season with the club by lifting the Coppa Italia in May.
He thrived alongside the likes of Gonzalo Higuain, Lorenzo Insigne and Marek Hamsik in attack, and also helped secure Champions League football for Benitez's team by guiding them to third in the league table.
The Madrid graduate found the net 20 times in 52 appearances, justifying his decision to leave the Spanish capital for first team football elsewhere.
Such eye-catching performances were never going to go unnoticed, with Jose Mourinho attempting to bring his former disciple to Stamford Bridge and Brendan Rodgers also monitoring events before opting for Mario Balotelli to fill the void left by Luis Suarez's move to Barcelona.
The 27-year-old may find the lure of the Premier League difficult to decline if Arsene Wenger comes calling when the transfer window reopens in the New Year.
Despite having bolstered his squad with the additions of Alexis Sanchez, Danny Welbeck and Callum Chambers in pre-season, the Frenchman may swoop for Napoli's lynchpin if Theo Walcott fails to shine upon returning from injury.
Callejon's loyalty to Mourinho may scupper any chances of a move, but a bid in the region of £16million may force the hand of Napoli's hierarchy.
Competition for places is fierce over in North London, but with the jury still out on Welbeck and Olivier Giroud sidelined until next year with a broken leg moving for another intelligent, attacking forward makes perfect sense.
Benitez managed to keep Higuain at the club in spite of summer interest from Liverpool and Barcelona, and may have to use similar methods to convince Callejon to do the same.
Their football has been slow and sluggish this season, but may finally ignite at the weekend when they play Inter Milan at the San Siro in the biggest game of the season so far.
With the player about to reach the peak of his career within the next two years, Benitez must pray that Callejon commits himself to the club. Losing such a star player could seriously damage their hopes of future glory.
