Q: Detect scrollbar appear/dissapear in the Grid I have a Grid component and it's verticalScrollPolicy is set to "auto".
And every time when verticalScrollBar appears or disappears, I want to handle this event.
I tried to listen to the RESIZE event:
    private function onGridResize(event:Event):void
    {
       if (_grid.verticalScrollBar && _grid.verticalScrollBar.visible)
       {
           trace("scroll on");
       }
       else
       {
           trace("scroll off");
       }
    }

but it does not work: it seems to me, that RESIZE event actually dispatches before grid visual update and scrollbar appear/disappear.
I tried to listen ChildExistenceChangedEvent.CHILD_ADD and ChildExistenceChangedEvent.CHILD_REMOVE events as well, but it doesn't work for me too.
Maybe I just don't see some obvious solution.
Thanks in advance for any help or advise.

A: You do not specify which grid. (Spark, MX, or one of ours (http://www.flexicious.com/Home/Ultimate) )
One thing you could do is throw a validateNow prior to checking:
private function onGridResize(event:Event):void
    {
       _grid.validateNow(); //add this.

       if (_grid.verticalScrollBar && _grid.verticalScrollBar.visible)
       {
           trace("scroll on");
       }
       else
       {
           trace("scroll off");
       }
    }

The other thing you could also do, is use a timer or call later.
private function onGridResize(event:Event):void
    {
       callLater(checkForScrollBar); //check for scrollbar would have the code above.
    }

A: Perhaps you can listen for the "show" event of the ScrollBar itself. Something along the lines of this should work:
_grid.verticalScrollBar.addEventListener(ComponentEvent.SHOW, onGridResize);

I haven't tested this, but I'm pretty sure it should work. (Of course, you may want to rename onGridResize to something more suitable like onVerticalScrollShow.)
By the way, you don't have to check that the ScrollBar exists; in pure AS3 at least, they are instantiated along with the DataGrid and exist regardless of their ScrollPolicy value.
The reason the resize event appears to fire right away is because it is dispatched as soon as its dimensions change. I'm assuming that in your application, the user drags to manually adjust the grid's size, and thus the events fires as soon as any adjustment is made.

Home National EC gets EVMs for LS polls
EC gets EVMs for LS polls
New Delhi: The two public sector undertakings tasked with manufacturing the latest M3 type electronic voting machines to be used in next year's Lok Sabha elections have delivered the lot comprising nearly 22.3 lakh ballot units and 16.3 lakh control units to the Election Commission, a senior EC official said.
Around 22.3 lakh ballot units, 16.3 lakh control units and nearly 17.3 lakh VVPATs or paper trail machines will be used for the 2019 LS polls. The number of machines includes the buffer stock for training as well as replacements.
These machines would be deployed at the nearly 10.6 lakh polling stations across India in the next parliamentary elections.
The Bharat Electronics Ltd and the Electronics Corporation of India Ltd were mandated to deliver these machines to the poll panel by September 30 "and now the delivery has been completed," the official said.
The M2 or mark 2 type EVMs (2006-10) can cater to a maximum of 64 candidates including NOTA. There is provision for 16 candidates in a balloting unit. If the total number of candidates exceeds 16, more balloting units can be attached up to a maximum of 64 candidates by connecting four balloting units.
However, in case of M3 EVMs, which came after 2013, a maximum of 384 candidates including NOTA can be catered to by connecting 24 balloting units.
During simultaneous elections, two separate sets of EVMs are required, one for the parliamentary constituency and the other for legislative assembly constituency.
According to a September 26 release of the EC, the poll panel has estimated 171 per cent ballot units, 125 per cent control units and 135 per cent paper trail machines requirement for the Lok Sabha polls.
In case of an error with the VVPAT, the machine is replaced with a reserve. But in case a ballot unit or control unit malfunctions, the entire set of ballot unit, control unit and VVPAT is replaced.
Till date, EVMs have been used in 113 Assembly elections and three Lok Sabha elections since 2000.
Amid demands by some opposition parties to go back to ballot papers, the Commission has maintained that use of EVMs has ended the days of booth capturing and the delays and errors in counting of ballot papers.
At a recent all-party meeting, several parties had questioned the reliability of voting machines, alleging that they could be tampered with.
Seventeen opposition parties have come together to make a fresh demand that voters in the 2019 Lok Sabha elections exercise their franchise by stamping the ballot paper, not pressing the button on EVMs.

A step-by-step workflow that you can use for your own linkprofile hygiene. Particularly useful if your site has a HUGE number of spammy backlinks and you want to get rid of them in a quick & easy manner.
You do need to know your way around MySQL, Excel and preferably ODBC, so I would say that the difficulty level of this article is 'medium'. I assume that you have a local MySQL database installed and that you know how to use ODBC to fetch data from your database and bring it into Excel, easily, and without errors. It's quite easy to set up though, so go ahead and do it if you haven't done so yet. You can thank me later, because it's useful for a gazillion other things as well.
Let's look at the steps in more detail.
So you need to have a CSV dump of all backlinks (or a grouping of 'similar links') to your domain. Apply the following steps to your own backlink data provider and situation. The general idea should be clear though. In ahrefs, just go to: Backlinks > Links > Export.
A download will be prepared, and you can then download it from your browser.
P.s.: Make sure that the file is saved in UTF-8 format. For example, in Safari, I go to: View > Text Encoding > Unicode (UTF-8).
The easiest tool to work with MySQL on the Mac still is Sequel Pro. If I want to import a CSV file, and tell Sequel Pro that it should be imported into a new table, the program is smart enough to create a new table - with workable column definitions - on the fly. It doesn't need to be perfect; it needs to be quick. Perfect tool for the job!
No need to worry about column definitions: Sequel pro makes solid default suggestions. No need to change anything here.
After all data has been imported into our own database, we need to add some information. Because we have to deal with a huge number of spammy backlinks, we need to disavow complete domains, and not individual links. New spam links are probably being added on a daily basis, and they could be from a gazillion different subdomains and pages. We need to be able to proactively disavow that!
Our action therefore is to enrich the data of ahrefs with two things: 1. which domain a link is from, and 2: if it's a spam link or not. So we actually use a sample of links to find the domains they originate from, and then disavow these domains. This will disavow future spam links from these domains also.
In the status bar below in the query screen in Sequel Pro you can see how many rows have been changed. It should be ALL of them. Look at the data to make sure.
Next, we need to update the value of that column from NULL to '1' if it matches a pattern. This is where the data we gathered from ahrefs is really useful! Because we can look at titles, pages links are from, where the link is to, even surrounding text, etc.
Ran it. Now I have all backlinks to my clients' domain, every backlink has a domain that I can filter, and every single link is checked whether it is a spamlink or not.
I could continue in MySQL (and should do so, if the amount of data is too big for Excel to handle), but from this point on, I prefer to use the pivot table functionality of Excel. It rocks.
Okay, I'm assuming here that you've already installed an ODBC connector between MySQL and Excel, or at least that you know how to get data from a database into Excel. You can always of course export as CSV from the database, and import it manually.
The trick is, to put it all together into a single Pivot table in Excel that you can slice & dice for easy analysis. In my case, I first chose the domains, and put the URLs they linked to below it (remember: I could recognize spam links by the URL they linked to). Next to it, in the value column, I added both the count and sum of the number of spam links from that domain. If count and sum are equal, 100% of the links from that domain are labeled as spam.
In my case, I now needed to add the Referring Domains, the URLs from my clients' domain they linked to, and the count and sum of the number of spammy links.
P.s.: To view only the domains, make sure to collapse Referring Page Domain field in Excel.
Now I have a list of domains of which I am sure that they only send spammy links my way, and will probably remain to do so in the future. In my case, some domains sent multiple thousands of links my way. In other cases, they created a huge number of subdomains that each contained a few spam links. But they were all recognizable by the fact that their links all pointed to the same pages on the domain of my client.
I had to do a little additional housekeeping to remove the many subdomains (simple regex search & replace, then remove duplicates, in a text editor). I just wanted every link from every subdomain of a specific site (literally thousands of subdomains) to be disavowed.
Now, submit, and save some time to do other, more important things, like sleeping.


She is broken. There is little left to say about this, now, isn't there?
For the longest time, she stood — transfixed by his words and his eyes touching her and all of the threads he had woven around her. He had become both the largest and most fearsome monster that her mind could conceive, and he was the tiniest of spiders, creeping across her flesh with a constant thread trailing behind.
The silk became a little tighter. The binding was firm, and soft, and gentle. It did not give. The silk did not relent. She felt all extremities gather closer and press against her flesh. Tighter, tighter.
His eyes never left hers. He did not move. His lips were relaxed. His eyes bore holes into her own and she was frozen, and broken. The invisible creature, that tiny spider, continued its trek across her body, up to her throat. The silk was jerked…once, twice…cutting her skin with such delicacy that the blood barely peeked through. It was a hint of blood, the merest of introductions.
She stood before him and her bare feet began a kind of trembling unsteadiness. Her knees were shaking, the tiniest indication of this loss of control. Her hands, pressed tightly at her sides, were white knuckled and bloodless. Her chest rose in small, shallow quiet breaths.
Her face was wet. Those eyes held her captive even if the silk did not. The silk was not real, the spider was not real. Was he real? Did he exist?
He stood very still and watched her reaction to the gentle hum floating from the inner core of his darkest crevice. It floated in lazy circles in the breeze, and seeped quietly into her ears. Tiny musical notes floated around her head and drifted up into her nostrils and her mouth opened, involuntarily. The hum drifted into her mouth and down into her body, seeping into every organ. It filled her and she began to weep in earnest.
The silk faded away. The spider…gone. She fell to the ground, a broken heap before his feet. He did not touch her. Her hair cascaded around in dark ringlets; her face was pressed against bare earth and the tears invited the dust from the ground to mingle and smudge against her cheek.
For the longest time, her only movement was the gentle shaking of her body as she wept. She made no noise. She did not attempt to pick herself up from the ground.
At long last, he crouched down beside her. He watched her with the slightest satisfaction playing across his face. Through all that had transpired, his stance had been unrelentingly relaxed. His hand moved down and touched her hair. It was covered in dust now, the pale tan of the earth mingling with her natural dark tresses. He spoke.
Standing, he turned and walked away, humming.

Santé de Parkland et système D.C.A. évaluée d'hôpital
par Joan Trombetti, Writer | August 24, 2009
Parkland Health & Hospital System
Rated AAA & Taxpayers
Will Reap Benefits
DOTmed has learned that Parkland Health & Hospital System in Dallas, TX has been rated AAA by both Fitch Ratings and Standard & Poor's Rating Service, and taxpayers will reap benefits of lower interest rates.
"Parkland is the rare exception -- the only AAA rated hospital in the country -- public or private. These ratings were due in large part to the credit strength of Dallas County and reinforced by Parkland's good operating performance, the support of the County Commissioners and especially the support of the Dallas County voters," said John Dragovits, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer.
Both rating agencies cited the strength and diversity of the Dallas economy as well as the substantial tax base as a factor in Parkland's favorable standing. They also cited Parkland's lack of debt, positive operating margins, liquidity and cash flow. The agencies also recognized Parkland for its essential role in the health of the Dallas area with services such as a Level I trauma center and the sole burn unit.
The credit ratings are necessary as part of the issuance of $705 million general obligation bonds, approved by Dallas County voters in November 2008.
Parkland will offer $705 million in general obligation bonds. In an effort to attain more cost savings, Parkland officials plan to issue a majority of Build America Bonds, a federal program that provides a 35% subsidy to public entities.
"Our fiscal prudence brings real value to the taxpayers. We anticipate that this prime credit rating and the cost savings of the Build American Bonds together will save about $60 to $80 million," Dragovits said. "Together, these will help us achieve our goal for some of the lowest interest costs."
In November 2008, Dallas County voters approved by 82% a bond issue from which proceeds would be used for construction of a new hospital. The $1.27 billion project includes an 862-bed hospital, outpatient center, office center and parking. In order to reduce the burden on taxpayers, the financing plan includes not only $747 million of combination tax and revenue bonds, but also $350 million from Parkland's current and future cash reserves and $150 million in philanthropic dollars raised by the Parkland Foundation. Construction is planned to begin in early 2011.

Our acquirement authorities acquire been absolute alive afresh arising judgments, authoritative pronouncements and accumulative administration activity, all directed to the way the tax adjustment operates in affiliation to assets fabricated from, and assets arising on diplomacy with, assets that are captivated on trust. This Tax Brief highlights the furnishings of some of the added important developments affecting trusts that are not MITs or AMITs.
Occasionally our Courts go out of their way to admonish readers of some basal attack of law because the absolute acknowledged assay has to be the starting point from which the tax assay can afresh proceed. Start with the amiss abstraction of what the law is, and the tax assay is about affirmed to be wrong.
There is annihilation new in these passages, but the implications are abstruse and about misunderstood. If a assurance is an adjustment amid bodies about what happens to an account of property, that adjustment doesn't acquire (and can't be aperture into) genitalia or sub-parts. And if any of the bodies complex in that adjustment change, or the account of acreage which is accountable to the adjustment changes, or the acceding of the adjustment change, afresh there is a complete adventitious that article important aloof happened. Maybe the complete adjustment broadcast or apprenticed to beset the new situation; but there is the complete achievability that there is a new arrangement, admitting with identical terms.
If one anticipation of a assurance as some anatomy of article affiliated to a aggregation afresh people's entitlements would acceptable be agnate and all be adjoin one entity, changes to the architecture of the article may able-bodied be insignificant, abacus added assets to the article would authority no absolute tax consequences, and so on. But if one anticipation of a assurance as a relationship, afresh people's entitlements would be unique, appropriate to them and appropriate to this entity, alteration the acceding of the accord could be important and abacus new assets could acquire consequences. For example, what happens if the trustee acquires a new account of property? The acknowledgment is, at atomic prima facie, "technically … every disposition of acreage to a assurance creates a [new and] abstracted trust" which agency CGT accident E1 could be triggered. The ramifications of the abstraction that a assurance is not an article are profound.
A franking acclaim is artlessly an access in a calculation, like the bulk attributed from a CFC or the accounted bazaar bulk accretion from a transaction. There is a complete account of acreage (the banknote dividend, the shares in the CFC, the absolute accretion of sale) but the blow is not, and consequently, cannot be captivated on trust. This may acquire implications for assurance accomplishments which ascertain the 'income' of the assurance to be the aforementioned as the 'net income' of the assurance as authentic beneath tax law and afterwards modification; the net assets includes numbers that are not acreage and so cannot be the accountable of a trust.
If this transaction were occurring amid a actor and a company, the acumen in Total Holdings suggests that the absorption bulk can be deductible (notwithstanding that the actor will not be earning any absorption assets from its accommodation to the company) if there is a astute apprehension the actor will be earning allotment income.
While the prima facie position in the TD is that the absorption bulk is not deductible, the TD says some allotment of the absorption bulk would be deductible if "the almsman is anon advantaged to assets of the assurance acreage at the time the bulk is incurred …" but afresh goes on to say that this accident cannot be brought about by authoritative an aboriginal and assertive resolution to accredit this year's assurance assets to this object. That is because, in the ATO's view, "an assertive resolution fabricated by a trustee of a arbitrary assurance to exercise a ability of adjustment of assets in favour of a almsman does not advise present alms to assets of the assurance acreage on that almsman until such time as the assets is accustomed by the trustee and is accurately accessible for distribution." The additional accident allegedly cannot appear until the end of the year if the assurance has expenses.
So-called "interim measures" to acquiesce the alive of franked assets and basal assets were allowable in 2011, but the affiance of an actually "updated" set of rules drafted in the 1997 Act appearance never eventuated and allegedly never will (even admitting the 2010 advertisement was not one of the "announced but unenacted measures" formally concluded by Treasurer Hockey in 2013 afterwards the acclamation of the Abbott government). The wash-up is thus: the ATO still insists that alive is not accessible except for the 2 cases breadth the statute sets up the apparatus to acquiesce this to happen.
The access appears to be an absolute endorsement of alive and the Cloister does not appear at all anxious that it ability be adage article inconsistent with Bamford. The contest in the case occurred in 2006-08 and so afore the 2011 acting amendments to Div 207, which may additionally be accordant to the analysis. Clearly, we acquire not heard the aftermost chat on streaming.
Reimbursement agreements. It is accepted that the ATO is alive on a Taxation Ruling ambience out its angle on how s. 100A operates. The advice is accustomed to be issued by December of this year. Back s. 100A is triggered, the almsman who would acquire been anon advantaged to the assets is advised as not entitled, which agency the bulk is burdened to the trustee at the top claimed bordering bulk (taker-in-default clauses acquire been captivated not to accomplish to anticipate this outcome).
The Explanatory Memorandum to the 1979 Bill which allowable this accouterment said it was directed adjoin "trust-stripping schemes which attack to canyon assets acquired by trusts on to beneficiaries in a tax-free form." Aloof what that agency has not been able-bodied developed in the cases; there are alone a scattering of cases and they do not aftermath a clear, complete and constant picture. It is advancing that the ATO certificate will be directed to giving added examples of situations breadth s. 100A is enlivened. But accustomed the cardinal of clandestine trusts in Australia, any certificate which challenges accepted angle about how all-encompassing the ability of s. 100A is would acceptable prove absolute controversial.
Non-resident beneficiaries of citizen trusts. In December 2016 the ATO appear a Discussion Paper on Basal Assets and Non-resident Beneficiaries. It is accepted this affair is still actuality formed on central the ATO.
While the absolute assay of both situations seems abundantly bright from a action perspective, the ATO has formed the appearance that, as a aftereffect of the amendments in 2011 inserting the acting alive measures, the legislation no best produces that result. We acquire the ATO is allegedly demography this point in some cases that are currently alive their way through the administrative process. Hopefully, the bulk can be evidently resolved, either through the Courts adopting a adapted estimation of the provisions, or through a quick and attendant aldermanic alteration if necessary. Australia has already adherent a lot of aldermanic accomplishment in 2010 and 2011 to ensuring the accessible after-effects action for assertive classes of non-resident investors (in the Advance Manager Rules, tranches 1, 2 and 3); it may be that added assignment is bare to get the aforementioned after-effects for added types of adopted beneficiaries.
Resident beneficiaries of adopted trusts. The ATO has additionally taken a position in attention to distributions apery basal assets to citizen beneficiaries from non-resident trusts in two Tax Determinations appear in 2017. Again, from a action perspective, the able tax assay of this bearings should not be difficult: the Australian citizen almsman should be taxed; it should be burdened on the base that it is authoritative a basal gain; the accretion should be acceptable for abatement in the easily of individuals and acknowledging superannuation funds; it does not bulk that the bulk is acceptable by the trustee of a adopted trust; it does not bulk if the asset is an Australian asset or a adopted asset; the alone difficult catechism is back to tax the gain: back it is made, or alone if and back it is distributed. Again, the ATO has formed the appearance that the legislation, as drafted, produces rather adapted results.
Amendments were fabricated to the Act afterwards the Nevil Shute case in 1969 adage that the net assets of a assurance acreage is to be affected on the acceptance that the trustee of a assurance is a resident, alike if the trustee is a non-resident. Breadth the trustee is not in actuality a resident, prima facie this brings into the Australian tax adding all the adopted antecedent assets of a non-resident trust, and if the deeming were afresh activated in a CGT context, it would beggarly that the assets and losses of a adopted assurance would access the Australian tax calculation, alike admitting they ability absorb assets that were not "taxable Australian property"(TAP). The legislation excludes from the Australian tax adding a basal accretion or basal accident on an asset that is not TAP fabricated by "the trustee of a adopted assurance for CGT purposes," but can a assurance anytime be a "foreign trust" if every trustee is accounted to abide in Australia?
In TD 2017/23, the ATO takes the position that deeming the trustee to be citizen doesn't administer in chief whether assets and losses fabricated by the trustee are disregarded. Hence, if a adopted trustee sells a adopted asset for a basal gain, the accretion does not access the Australian tax adding (i.e., the trust's net income) and none of the complicated consequential accoutrement about administration the CGT abatement are aggressive either. This is the acceptable news.
The ATO afresh says that if the net accretion is broadcast to a citizen almsman it is assessable to the almsman at that time. This is the analytic cessation from the aboriginal point. Concluding that the accretion on a non-TAP asset does not anatomy allotment of the net assets of the adopted assurance agency the accordant demanding point cannot be the point at which the Australian citizen almsman becomes anon advantaged to a allotment of the net assets of the adopted assurance – the accretion will not acquire been included in alive out that amount. Hence, the accordant demanding point, so far as Australia is concerned, is back the bulk is paid to or for an Australian citizen almsman (assuming the bulk has not already been attributed to addition beneath the transferor assurance rules).
But the bad account is in TD 2017/24: the ATO insists an bulk so broadcast now represents some blazon of baggy assets which absent its aboriginal character; it is no best a basal accretion in the easily of the beneficiary. This means, for a almsman which is an alone or acknowledging superannuation fund, the almsman cannot affirmation a CGT abatement in account of the amount, nor can the almsman administer any accepted year or backpack advanced basal losses adjoin the amount.
The TD asserts "the bulk fabricated assessable … does not acquire the appearance of a basal accretion for Australian tax purposes …" and gives an odd account why this is so: "if the position were otherwise, s. 99B would finer accredit accumulated beneficiaries to account from the CGT discount, adverse to the ambition of [the CGT abatement provisions]." This is perplexing. The bulk actuality adjourned is the "amount … paid to … a beneficiary" but the TD assumes that a aggregation would aback become advantaged to a CGT abatement aloft accepting the cheque. The altercation put advanced is that accoutrement which aish from tax payments from the bulk of the assurance acreage and payments that would not be assessable assets of that aborigine would be aggressive for some of the banknote payment. It is adamantine to see that either accouterment would be accordant and the ATO's affair seems over-stated. So the all-embracing aftereffect is confusing: an odd aftereffect arises and the ATO argues the aftereffect follows because of an assay that is alike added puzzling.
Circular assurance distributions. In the 2018-19 Budget, the Government appear it would "extend to ancestors trusts a specific anti-avoidance aphorism that applies to added carefully captivated trusts that accredit in annular assurance distributions." The admeasurement would administer from 1 July 2019 and was estimated to acquire a accretion to acquirement of $20m over the afterward four years. Treasury has now appear a abstract of the legislation bare to accord aftereffect to the announcement.
The chains of trusts can be abundant added bizarre but the aspect of the anatomy is that the entitlements go about in a amaranthine circle.
This is not a new practice, and we already acquire rules adjoin it, amid into the ITAA 1936 in 1999 and afresh broadcast in 2007. These accoutrement administer to the trustee of a carefully captivated assurance if it has a almsman which is additionally a trustee. The trustee of the aboriginal assurance charge aggregate and the accelerate to the ATO assertive capacity about the trustee beneficiary, and if the trustee fails to do so (or the account is incorrect), the trustee becomes accountable (and its admiral become accountable if the trustee is a company) to pay "trustee almsman non-disclosure tax" on that allotment of the (untaxed) net assets of the assurance estate. The tax is imposed at the top claimed bordering bulk additional Medicare levy.
But sending in the absolute advice is not the end of the story. If an bulk is included in the assessable assets of a trustee almsman beneath a annular administration then, admitting that a absolute advice acknowledgment was lodged, a additional tax can be triggered. The drafting says a annular administration arises where, "the trustee of the carefully captivated assurance becomes anon advantaged to an bulk that is analytic attributable to …" an bulk which is "included in the assessable assets of a trustee almsman of the closely-held trust." And again, the additional tax can be calm from the trustee or its admiral if a company.
The departure accoutrement can activate either tax in account of the assets of a "closely-held trust," which is currently authentic in the legislation in a way that excludes both a "family trust" and a assurance which has fabricated an average article acclamation beneath the assurance accident rules.
The abstract legislation appear by Treasury now exposes the trustee of a ancestors assurance and a assurance which has fabricated an average article acclamation (and its admiral if the trustee is a company) to the additional trustee almsman non-disclosure tax – the one payable in account of annular assurance distributions.
Another breadth that has apparent some contempo ATO action is attempts to re-organise the anatomy of a assurance through alleged "trust splitting." This seems to be the avant-garde adaptation of "trust cloning," a re-structuring convenance which was fashionable in the aboriginal allotment of this century, accurate by the ATO in TR 2006/4. That convenance connected until it was countered by aldermanic amendments allowable in 2010 which took aftereffect from 2008. And it has echoes of the sub-trust re-structuring apparent in Oswal. In that case, the Federal Cloister advised the attack to abstract a accumulation of assurance assets as amounting to a new assurance adjustment in affiliation to those assets.
The ATO has ventured into "trust splitting" in abstract Taxation Determination TD 2018/D3. It refers to practices which are allegedly accepted that attack to "split" a assurance into assorted "parts" – one trustee will now authority allotment of the bulk and accord with it one way; addition trustee will authority the antithesis of the bulk and will (likely) accord with it addition way. The acceptance seems to be that this is "splitting" an "entity" but does not advance to a new assurance (so CGT accident E1 can be ignored).
The aing affair involves the difficult affair of how to handle trusts which aish by vesting. TR 2018/6 addresses the after-effects of a assurance vesting. Abundant of the Ruling is absent with the botheration of a assurance that vests while no-one is watching.
The Accomplishment will afresh say what follows from vesting: about that the assets and bulk of the assurance is now captivated on assurance for assertive beneficiaries absolutely, in according shares as tenants in accepted if added than one. In added words, all the trustee's arbitrary admiral with account to application assets and basal may acquire able to operate; the trustee may no best acquire ability to allocate amounts as assets or not; the trustee may acquire no ability to accredit the assets aloof to some of the beneficiaries; the trustee may acquire no ability to change the investments, and so on.
The drafting of this vesting article tries to sit on three stools at once: para (ii) is advised to accord the assurance as connected a activity as possible, while para (iii) is meant to accord the trustee the ability to aish the assurance beforehand if that apparel anybody better, but afresh para (i) gives the assurance a actually authentic term. The botheration arises back all anxious anticipate the assurance has an (almost) broad activity focussing on para (ii), and anybody knows the trustee has done annihilation to animate para (iii), but the assurance actually vests beneath para (i) while no-one is watching. No-one notices for the aing bristles years and the assurance is still actuality administered as if it had not vested. And then, back bodies do ascertain the problem, they ability try to re-write history: they await on addition accouterment in the Accomplishment which allows amendments to the Deed, including the Vesting Date clause, and afresh acceptation to change that clause, and with attendant effect!
This seems almost articular but there are some adverse aspects of the Ruling.
One affair is the assay of what happens already the aberration is discovered. An Archetype in the TR presents a book breadth the trustee becomes acquainted that the vesting date has anesthetized and executes a accomplishment purporting to extend the trust's vesting date. The argument addendum the beheading of the accomplishment "is abandoned and ineffective" but afresh says a new assurance would appear if, "it is realised that the accomplishment of addendum is abortive to change the trust's vesting date [and] all of the takers on vesting accede that the assurance assets should abide to be captivated on a new assurance on the aforementioned acceding as the aboriginal assurance …" No agnosticism that is correct, but it is not absolute realistic. What is added acceptable to appear is that the parties don't realise the accomplishment of addendum is ineffective; anybody aloof assumes it is, and behaves accordingly; there is no acceding to authorize a new assurance because anybody assumes the accomplished has been auspiciously re-written. Does the added acceptable book bulk to creating a new trust; was it analytical to the cessation in the Archetype that a new assurance was created that anybody carefully "agree[s] that the assurance assets should … be captivated on a new assurance …"?

Die Antwoord FBB
Die Antwoord FBB, by Eric Wayne. 2/19/2014. Colored pencils, markers, and India ink on A4 paper.
I know. This one's a bit out there for me. You will either instantly recognize what this is about or be completely in the dark. If you are in the dark, then I'd like you to take a moment and register what impression you get from this. What feel or quality does it have about it?
I don't think you really need to know the (external) source of inspiration for this to GET it, but it certainly would help with any interpretation. I was watching some videos by the very weird and somewhat offensive, but really good musical group, Die Antwoord, and wondered if I could capture any of their sort of energy or dynamic in a drawing. So, the idea isn't to make a nice and conventional drawing of a still from a video, but rather to make a visual interpretation of it, and the music. I don't even know if that is possible, really, but, I wanted to see what would happen if I attempted it. This is the result.
I also wanted to only use whatever materials I have at hand, which are just some cheap-ass markers, colored pencils, poster paint, and India ink. Also, I didn't do any pencil sketch or plan it at all. I'm experimenting with not planning, and keeping mistakes. Rather than fix mistakes to achieve a level of perfection, I'm trying to finish pieces with mistakes incorporated, and then move on, and improve at one-off images.
This may seem a bit like fan art, but it's not really. I'm trying to push boundaries, even if just my own, and in this case it's what can be imaged, and through what mediums. I'm doing this not just for the immediate end result, but rather as practice and experimentation which will lead to other pieces. Rather than have a signature style that I work to perfection and then replicate over and over to make commodities for consumers, I'm pursuing multiple interrelated styles which can feed off of each other and be combined.
I'm selling the original for $375.

To be honest,I don't like this but I am struggling to explain why. Usually I like quite messy work like the stuff done by Basquiat but maybe this just has too much in it to create a feeling towards it.
erickuns says:
I'm not sure how much I like it either, at least as a perfected image, which it is not. I definitely like parts of it, but not necessarily how it all comes together, which has a lot to do with it being completely unplanned, and there being no erasing or chance to fix any mistake. It's an experiment, the goal of which was not perfection, but exploration. Of course I'd rather the piece succeeds, but I'm not overly bothered if it doesn't. Rather than try to make each piece perfect, I'm experimenting with making relatively quick pieces that may or may not succeed, and if one in 3 or 4 or 5 makes it, but makes it in a faster style, that's good. I've thought about not sharing the ones that don't quite cut it, but I think if they fail it's still interesting why.
One more thought. Even as I'm about to start a new drawing/painting, I refuse to make a pencil sketch first. I'm just going to work directly in ink and color. I don't want to get bogged down with trying to perfect anything, make anything exactly accurate (anatomy or perspective). So, I'm trying to develop a new style that requires fucking up and being cool with that. That's hard for me to do, but right now I don't feel like doing anything else (knowing me that could change completely in a number of days or hours, because I often rebel against myself). It's opposite to the way I usually work. Instead of fixing something in a long process, make a new quick one, and get better at quicker and more spontaneous work. I don't want to get bored, or for the creative process to be replaced with too much rendering work…

MIDDLETOWN -- Don't let the point totals fool or dissuade you.
In reality it was a singular afternoon for both the Greenwich High School and Fairfield Prep boys swim teams at the Class LL state championship at the Wesleyan University pool.
Greenwich was an incredible machine winning 10 of the 12 events to score an amazing 913 points. That's 21 of the last 22 Class LL titles if you're scoring at home. Enough tradition to make the New York Yankees jealous.
"It was a very satisfying meet," Greenwich veteran head coach Terry Lowe said. "I felt this group had the potential to be great. Our frontline talent and the depth of this squad are tremendous things to have. We did nearly everything we wanted to."
Fairfield Prep more than earned its runnerup plaque with 698 points. The critical statistic was Prep finishing 313 points better than third place Glastonbury (385).
Staples (369) was fourth followed by Manchester (256), Newtown (252), Ridgefield (248.5), Cheshire (245.5). Amity Regional (236.5) and Trumbull (229) completed the top 10.
"Greenwich is a great team. And they make us a better team," said Prep head coach Rick Hutchinson. "I couldn't be happier with our performance. After all, we broke two state records in events we finished second in."
It was indeed recordmania at the Freeman Athletic Center pool.
Greenwich lowered five state records and six Class LL marks in its tour de force performance.
Prep was below both tate and Class LL record times while being topped by GHS in 200 yard freestyle relay and 400 yard free relay.
Junior Bryce Keblish lowered the LL mark by .65 seconds while winning the 200-yard individual medley in 1:49.46. Prep's Andrew Grinalds (1:50.11, 2009) had the old mark.
"To swim state record times is special. It was a brilliant day for our kids. Keblish's performance in the IM and the relays was a grand highlight," Hutchinson said.
But it wasn't enough to stop the Greenwich express from its appointed crown.
GHS sent the message early by capturing the opening event, the 200 medley relay in 1:31.99. GHS won the event by five seconds and lowered their own state record by 3 seconds to 1:31.99.
"We shuffled the lineup there because we wanted some kids to be strong at the end of the meet," Lowe said. "But we wanted to make a statement from the start."
Fairfield Prep tried to keep pace.
Nicholas Wargo captured the 200 yard free in 1:41.85. Keblish (1:49.46) then out duelled Greenwich's Thomas Dillinger (1:49.68) to take the 200 IM.
But GHS' Ed Moss answered by lowering his own Class LL mark in the 50 free by winning in 20.78.
After the break, Greenwich continued rolling. Sophomore John Montesi captured the 100 butterfly in 50.33 just outtouching Prep's Keblish (50.40).
GHS senior Alex Lewis then won the 100 free in a new state record time of 44.57 just ahead of teammate Moss (46.11) as well as Prep's Bjorn Davis (46.38) and Wargo (46.59).
More importantly, Lewis broke a 25-year-old Greenwich school mark in the 100 free.
"The 100 yard freestyle is perhaps the greatest record in swimming. And Alex got it," Lowe said. "It's not every day someone can break a 25-year-old mark."
After seven events, with the LL diving points added in, Greenwich led Prep, 575-415.
Dillinger got his Class LL first place medal in the 500 yard freestyle, winning in 4:35.88 ahead of Prep's Brandon Cole (4:38.08).
Norwalk/McMahon junior Anthony Dell'Isola took third place in 4:38.48 despite racing from lane 8.
In the point standings after eight of 12 events, Greenwich led Prep, 635-467 in the meet that scored 24 places in each event.
The records continued to fall in the 200 freestyle relay as the Greenwich foursome of Nicholas Hyden, Julian Fraser, Moss and Dillinger won in a state mark time of 1:24.19.
Prep's quartet of Bjorn Davis, Brandon Cole, Nicholas Wargo and Keblish were runnerup in record time of 1:24.24.
Amity Regional was a distant third in 1:29.91.
Greenwich's Lewis then lowered his own Class LL and state mark by .29 in capturing the 100 backstroke in 48.59. GHS sophomore Montesi was runnerup in 50.44.
Iain Edmundson put an individual ribbon on the victory by capturing the 100 breaststroke in 58.36 ahead of runnerup John Hoin (59.04) from Prep.
Greenwich's closing salvo was as strong as its opening gambit.
"This is one of Fairfield Prep's best teams. They drive us to records," Lowe said. "Having them battle us side by side made it a great meet for both."
And Prep has the proper perspective on the rivalry.
"We will continue to do what we do," Hutchinson said. "There are so many great boys swim programs in the state so second place in Class LL has meaning. We had great swims. So the times and the places will fall into place. That was what I asked from our boys and they performed."
As for Greenwich, the Cardinals have frankly run out of room to display the decade upon decade of state title plaques.
"What we have is a record board that we started in 1964," Lowe said. "Each team members names go up there. Once you're on it, you're there forever. We have a list of state titlists on the board. That's all we need. We've had a lot of people take photos of that board over the decades for their own kids."

What's the Future of Cryptocurrency in the Sports Industry?
Featured image by blende12 from Pixabay
The sports industry is one of the biggest in the world. Whether it be advertisements or sponsorships, the sports industry impressed every other industry. They get huge popularity and players are always seeking ways to leverage that.
In that situation, what if we tell you that the sports industry is becoming a mouthpiece of Bitcoin's credibility and reliability. Yes, it's true. Prominent sports teams have agreed to accept fees in the form of crypto. That itself speaks of the growing popularity of this industry.
Early Cryptocurrency in the Sports Industry
It was the Sacramento Kings who first started accepting crypto payments and now the Mavericks have made the same decision. This move was made possible when Cuban got 5Miles as the team's sponsor. This opened the gates for fans to trade in cryptocurrencies. It also allowed fans to use them to buy the tickets and merchandise of their favorite team. Cuba already had a history of reliance on the crypto industry and this move further reinforced the fact.
The use of crypto in the sports department is still in a very nascent stage. However, this move has given the global industry confidence. It was the first-ever move in this direction. It has further opened doors for other crypto players to enter this space in the future.
By doing this, Cuba has not only showcased its open-mindedness when it comes to technology, but it has also made a global statement through an elite platform like the NBA in the sports industry.
Most Cubans believe they only invest in something once they are extremely sure of a favorable outcome. Now, with this move, they have made a remarkable statement about crypto and indirectly stated their favorable stance towards the same. So, the whole world is now thinking, since Cubans believe in blockchain and crypto, there must be huge potential in this market. For more information, visit this http://bitcoincircuit.biz/

What's Ahead?
This whole discussion is not just about crypto being accepted in exchange for a sports ticket. It says so much more than that. It has paved way for more such steps in the future, as the entire sports industry is going open to these reforms.
We expect cryptocurrencies to pay players in the future.
Another reform could be a team being sponsored by big brands in the form of cryptocurrencies.
The leagues could also open their gate to this advanced and sophisticated technology which means we can expect to see them running on the blockchain. This will open the gate for easy trading of players between different teams.
It could also pave way for digital contracts between players and the teams. So, whenever a player is signed the contract will automatically be shared over the blockchain ledger.
With these reforms in the sports industry on their way, we expect to see the state of sports transforming into something bigger and better. The same holds for other industries as similar reforms are taking place there also. Various industries in the world are leaving behind their doubts and insecurities about cryptocurrency and they are paving way for a brighter and better future.
What Are the Major Transformations in the Sports Industry?
There is a lot happening in this industy and we should see and observe how the sports and crypto-industry are merging.
A prominent Olympic level skater Ted-Jan Bloemen was paid in cryptocurrency for his recent tournament. Though it was his personal decision and did not speak much of the team's stand, it definitely made a point that sports players are open to such transactions.
This gave birth to an idea called the Blockchain-Powered Sports Sponsorships. Here, a sponsor can put money in the digital wallet in the form of cryptocurrency and the players can be sponsored with those coins. When this happens, all major tournaments will see crypto advertisements all over their marketing channels. This will further help give crypto the push it deserves.
While it will help popularize crypto, it's an equally great opportunity for the sponsors as well. With this system in place they can purchase the sponsorship rights all by themselves. As a result they can avoid the consultant fee, manager appoints, and get as many featured opportunities as they please.

Lights, power and airconditioning have been built into the walls of our homes for decades, so why not sound? Anthony Fordham takes an inside look at architectural speakers.
No modern homeowner would tolerate being squeezed out of their living-room by mounting piles of hardware. Think about it: there's electrical cabling, lighting, and climate control in the form of heating and cooling. Yet for decades now your lights, power and air conditioning have all been built into the walls in the form of recessed downlights, power points, and ducted gas heating or air-con.
So why not your entertainment hardware as well? Dealing with the TV is simple: grab a projector and install a retractable screen in the ceiling – or mount a slim plasma or LCD to the wall.
Meanwhile, speakers still sit around the lounge room taking up valuable space and crimping your minimalist Scandinavian-inspired style.
Back in the days of stereo, even big powerful speakers didn't take up too much room. After all, there were only two of them. But a serious AV enthusiast now demands increasing numbers of speakers to service their 7.1 channel receiver.
Naturally this can leave even the most generous of entertainment spaces rather crowded. Especially if you crave power and want to output several hundred watts of audio through serious, expensive speakers.
There is an answer to this mounting problem. Traditional speaker manufacturers, along with veterans in the field, now produce speakers specifically designed to be installed in walls and ceilings. Properly called architectural speakers, in-wall and in-ceiling units can perform almost identically to floorstanding box speakers, but take up no floor space and can be styled to be virtually invisible.If installing architectural speakers sounds like the perfect solution to the endless fights in your household about exactly how much the AV should be allowed to dominate the living room, then read on!
According to the manufacturers of architectural speakers, home theatre has very much been the driving force behind these units.
Prior to the rise of surround sound, in-wall installations were limited to very high-end audiophiles or people with a lot of cash and a desire to spend it on making their home a Jetsons-like future house. Oh yes, and the DIY crowd who often ended up with holes in the ceiling, or ugly box speakers glued into ragged gashes in the walls.
Today, an increasing number of new home builders and renovators are incorporating media rooms into their designs. And while these rooms have plenty of space at the front for centre and stereo speakers, having to position side and rear speakers can interfere with chair positioning.
The solution is to build surround speakers into the walls. It's even possible to completely hide the speakers behind acoustically-invisible cloth panels.
In the Australian market, about 70 percent of architectural speaker installations are done for surround setups, and almost all installations are done to save on floor space or to preserve an aesthetic ideal.
Even though an in-wall installation will costs thousands more than acoustically-equivalent floorstanding box speakers, to owners of these systems the aesthetic value of hiding all that hardware in the walls along with the heating ducts and electrical wiring is more than worth the expense.

Research into the problem of moral hazard related to services provided by agents to a clientele that is incapable of assessing the quality of these services indicates that the clients' lack of expertise results in the agent's not performing the services as well as possible. Despite the importance of reputation in marketing service to clientele, service companies may 'rip off' their clients and maintain a reputable image. The research is performed on laboratory markets, and develops three models: the ripoffs model, the lemons model, and the reputation model. The discussion following the research presentation focuses on an alternative approach to the reputation model.

Research indicates that traders who limit themselves to the crossing network produce a counterbalancing effect by reducing inventory holding costs and adverse selection. Passive crossing networks are defined as direct trading between sellers and buyers, and are characterized by crowding, or negative, and liquid, or positive, externalities.
A continuous-time model is used to analyze competition in trading. It is posited that linear equilibrium exists when trader signals are not perfectly correlated, but does not exist when they are, and that levels of private information at the end of trading steer the market toward complete illiquidity.

Our lab expeditions over the last few weeks led to the rediscovery of a long-forgotten and rarely seen species, Atractus vertebralis. This species was described by Boulenger in 1904, but as far as we know it has not been collected ever since. Boulenger used material collected by Keays around the "Inca mine" of Santo Domingo, near Bahuaja-Sonene National Park. The discovery will allow a better characterization of the species, as well as molecular analyses to reveal the phylogenetic relationships of these poorly known, fossorial snakes.
We found these snakes under a thick layer of wet mosses, along with Proctoporus lizards, terrestrial-breeding frogs of the genus Noblella and the Pristimantis platydactylus group, and Pristimantis danae. In the picture, Isabel Diaz and Alex Ttito are searching for herps along the trail -- despite this being our third day of all-day hiking! There is always some energy left for a nice discovery.


Last year I worked super hard on a project called YouTube For Indies where I gathered contact information for over 1400 accounts who were more or less interested in Indie Games and or AAA titles.
The project died due to my constant lack of time to update it on a daily basis, but I found the last, updated version which was available only for my newsletter subscribers back in the day. You can check the whole Google Spreadsheet by clicking the link below!
However, having just the e-mails and YouTubers' Social Media channels is not enough. I've written two articles on Gamasutra which explained more thoroughly YouTube's landscape. I believe they are useful for those of you who are just starting out your Indie Development adventure or those who want to understand better how to use YouTube to its full potential.

One of the most valuable things that you can have in life is a mentor that helps guide the way. However, often we find that mentorship is completely one dimensional and lacks the robust diversity that is required to identify true balance in life.
Thomas believes that there are four pillars to finding the ultimate success in your life, and with one of these pillars out of alignment or crumbling, the entire foundation for your life could be threatened. Discipline, dedication, and education in one area can help rebuild the crumbling foundation of another.
Health: This is your vitality, your physical body. If you're fit, then it is your self-image and how your confidence affects other areas of your life. If you're looking for general wellness, then it is the energy and the strength that gets you through the tough areas of life.
Business: As much as we may not admit it. Business is a huge part of our lives. Whether you are the CEO of a billion dollar organization or you are the CEO of a busy household, you are indeed conducting business, and it needs to be recognized.
Family: Family could be your blood family or it could be the network that you have built for yourself and consider family, but the fact of the matter still is that you need to value this and it needs to play a part in your overall success.
Mind/Spirituality: For some it is religion, for some it is energy, for some it is the universe. The same still applies. How you look at your own spirituality and how much you prioritize the health of your mind can play a huge factor in the success in other areas of your life.
Please note that Thomas DeLauer's availability for coaching services are extremely scarce and do not come available often. He is exceptionally selective about who he takes on in a coaching capacity, so please make sure that you answer the below questionnaire in it's entirety. If you are a qualified applicant, Thomas or a member of his team will contact you directly.
A detailed look at your current diet and how it could be affecting your success in other areas of your life.
What is happening in your schedule and day to day life that could be prohibiting you from reaching your full intention in multiple areas of life.
How much your family dynamic plays into where you are at in your current state.
What intentions and drivers need to be set in order to achieve maximum results.
Leading and Lagging KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) for each respective pillar (health, family, business, mind).
The BIG Glowing piece of your life that needs to change!
From the outside looking in, it can be tough to identify what is really causing you the most stress.
What would you like to see yourself doing?
What vitamins/supplements are you currently taking and are they a waste of money?
Do you see yourself as happy or unhappy?
What do you THINK should be done and is it the proper way?
We take a deeper dive into what we can do on a continual basis, allowing you to have someone to be accountable to in order to truly make the changes necessary to be the best possible version of yourself. The ongoing weeks and months are different for every single person that ever goes through Thomas DeLauer coaching. So enjoy the ride!

Sunday was a bad day for Le'Veon Bell
https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/rss.art19.com/episodes/3bacfcee-c468-4c80-a5c5-ef66b45d1a7e.mp3
Le'Veon Bell is still sitting out two weeks into the season, and at this point is hoping to be traded to a team that will pay him what the Steelers won't. This weekend of NFL games didn't help his case to be paid like a franchise player because it further diminished the value of running backs in the modern NFL.
Many successful teams, including the Steelers, are doing just fine with unknown running backs, including the Jags, who beat the Patriots without Leonard Fournette. In today's salary cap NFL, it doesn't make sense to pay a running back like Bell wants to get paid because they are a replaceable part.
Browns should continue to sit Baker
Yesterday, the Browns failed to get their first win in over a year with a gut wrenching loss to the Saints in New Orleans, and today Browns fans and many in the media are calling for Cleveland to end the Tyrod Taylor era and start rookie Baker Mayfield.
Colin thinks fans are overreacting because the Browns are on the path to respectability with a solid defense and an 0-1-1 record against two playoff teams to start the season. Most would agree their start is as good as they could have hoped through two weeks. He believes Cleveland should stick to their plan and continue to sit Baker, much like the Chiefs did with Patrick Mahomes, who is now lighting up the NFL.
David Carr – NFL Network Analyst and former #1 overall pick talks "Fitzmagic"; Pat Mahomes; if it's time for the Browns to start Baker Mayfield; and his brother Derek's relationship with Gruden.
Greg Jennings – FS1 Analyst and Super Bowl champ is in-studio discussing NFL Week 2, and Vontae Davis' halftime retirement;
Trent Dilfer – NFL Analyst and Super Bowl champ joins the show to break down Patrick Mahomes scorching hot start, and if the Browns should play Baker Mayfield.


Maria Montessori was determined to design a curriculum that would reflect all the major areas of human skills and knowledge in a format specially designed to appeal to young children. Montessori materials typically "teach" concepts or skills in isolation, and materials are "self-correcting," allowing children to learn on their own through play, experimentation, and trial and error. This approach encourages children to work independently and at their own pace, while presenting concepts in the only real way a young person can understand–in a concrete, three-dimensional format that they can see, touch, hear, smell, and manipulate.
Across all activities, Montessori education emphasizes compassion and respect for others and individual initiative and persistence, traits that help our students develop robust social skills and a strong sense of self.

Conservative Muslim Clerics Recommend Stoning For Topless Tunisian FEMEN Member
By PAUL SCHEMM
RABAT, Morocco (AP) — Bewilderment, scorn, resentment. Women's rights activists across the Middle East are reacting with everything but joy to topless demonstrations in Europe by a Ukrainian feminist group held in solidarity with a Tunisian woman who posted topless photos of herself protesting religious oppression.
They fear the bare breasts may hurt their cause more than help it, after FEMEN activists protested in front of mosques and Tunisian diplomatic missions last week to support 19-year-old Amina Tyler, who caused a scandal in her country with her Facebook postings.
Tyler herself, a high school student, said that while she was encouraged by the solidarity, the burning of the black flag bearing the Muslim profession of faith in front of the Paris mosque was a step too far, even if the banner has been championed by ultraconservatives and jihadists.
"I am against that," she told French TV Canal+ on Saturday. "They didn't insult a certain kind of Muslim, the extremists, but all Muslims."
Tyler, who has described herself as a FEMEN member, said she now fears for her life in Tunisia after ultraconservative Muslim clerics recommended she be stoned to death for posting the photos. She said she wants to move abroad. Tunisia is one of the most liberal countries in the region, but her protest has shocked even mainstream society in her homeland, still conservative about nudity.
A healthy debate about women's rights rages in Tunisia. But most women in the country feel that Tyler was out of line, even as they express concerns about the rolling back of progressive legislation on women and the rise of the conservative Salafi movement in Tunisia since the overthrow of the secular dictatorship in 2011.
When Tyler's photos were followed with the FEMEN solidarity protests, largely by European women, in Milan, Paris, Berlin and elsewhere, Tunisian women also felt as if foreigners were judging Islam.
"All organizations and all ideological currents are unanimous that this phenomenon is foreign to our society," said Imen Triqui of the Tunisian Association of Liberty and Equality, while supporting Tyler's freedom of expression.
Tyler isn't the first Arab woman to post nude protest photos and stir up scandal.
In November 2011, a young Egyptian woman, Aliaa ElMahdy, posted pictures of herself wearing only stockings on her blog to denounce a society of "violence, racism, sexism, sexual harassment and hypocrisy." At the time, Egyptian feminists and secular activists expressed fear that the move would set back secular and liberal trends ahead of legislative elections, later won in a landslide by religious conservatives.
Across the region, Tyler's photos sparked debate among women activists who didn't want to limit freedom of expression, but felt that such protests should take other forms.
Jenan Mubarak, of Iraq's Center for Women's Rehabilitation and Employment, endorsed Amina's right to protest, but argued that topless demonstrations were counterproductive to promoting women's rights.
"I reject the idea that a woman's body is used to reach any objective," she said. "I want others to appreciate my mind, the way I speak, to respect the way I am trying to gain my rights."
Shatha al-Janabi, an Iraqi writer and feminist, echoed that view.
"Every woman has the right to express what is inside her. Women have genuine demands, particularly Arab women, because the patriarchy is so, so strong," she said. "But there are many ways to demand equality in a Middle Eastern society. Nudity isn't acceptable here."
Moroccan pro-democracy activist Zineb Belmkaddem maintained that using a woman's naked body to change policy is simply bad for women.
"Exposing the woman's body … reinforces the image that objectifies women actually, no matter how FEMEN would like to think that the action frees them somehow," she said. "I tell FEMEN, 'call me when exposing your breasts gets you to break the glass ceiling.' And if it does, then it's probably for the wrong reasons."
But FEMEN members ask: Would anybody have paid heed to the FEMEN message in the Middle East had the protests been fully clothed?
"I don't think if we did it with clothes on, people would pay attention to the message — it gets more attention if were are semi-nude," said Meriam, a Tunisian member of FEMEN living in Paris who asked that her last name not be used to protect her safety.
She expressed no regret for burning the flag since it is closely associated with the jihadists and Salafis who have been the most vocal in the region about repressing women.
"For me this flag is not the Muslim flag," she said by telephone from Paris. "It never hung in mosques, just in the hands of Bin Laden and his colleagues."
Hadid reported from Baghdad. Associated Press writers Bouazza Ben Bouazza from Tunis, Tunisia and Aya Batrawy from Cairo contributed to this report.
