Objectives: A microneedling pen has been cleared by the US Food and Drug Administration, indicated for improving the appearance of adult facial acne scars. The objective of this study was to assess the device's effectiveness for treating wrinkles of the face area. Materials and Methods: Healthy adults seeking to improve the appearance of face wrinkles were enrolled (N = 35), receiving four monthly microneedling procedures by a trained aesthetician who treated the face skin per manufacturer instructions. Wrinkle assessments were performed by two trained blinded raters by comparing baseline images of each subject with images obtained at 90 days post-procedure. Subsequently, the two raters were unblinded for the Clinician's Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (CGAIS) assessment. Subjects completed the Subject's Global Aesthetic Improvement Scale (SGAIS) and a Satisfaction Questionnaire at 30 and 90 days post-treatment. Results: The study was completed by 32 subjects with a mean (SD) age of 56.3 (5.0) years. Wrinkle assessments demonstrated significant improvement in the face areas (p < 0.001). The SGAIS scores showed significant improvements after 30 and 90 days post-treatment (for each, p < 0.001). The CGAIS scores also showed significant improvements at 90 days post-treatment (p < 0.001). Most subjects reported some level of improvement in their appearance at 30 days (73.3%) and 90 days (68.8%) post-treatment. The satisfaction questionnaire showed high levels of improvement in wrinkles (93.8%), satisfaction with the treatment procedure (87.5%) and would recommend microneedling to friends and family members (80.6%) on the face and neck. Conclusion: Microneedling is a viable, minimally invasive option for treating wrinkles of the face. ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT03803059.

This project, making video soundscapes for people with dementia, has been bubbling away for a few months now. The video above is the first sample piece we made while starting to think about how the videos may look; it has no particular theme, it was really more about playing with visuals, sound and music to get a feel for how things could look and sound.
We've moved on quite a bit in our thinking on the approach we should take with the project, since making the initial video. It quickly started to feel wrong to just hole-up in the studio and make videos for people with dementia, and we're now focusing on taking a co-creation approach to making the pieces. We want to work alongside people with dementia to co-create the work, ensuring that they have a meaningful input into the selection of themes, visuals and audio elements, and into the development of the video-sound works. We start our first three-week block of sessions next month, alongside two groups of care home residents in Dundee.
We plan to work with several groups during this initial year of the project, energetically, hopefully and playfully figuring out how it will all come together as we go along. We've been busy getting together some tools to help participants to engage and get involved (more on those in future posts). We'll be using this blog space for updates on the process of getting this project up and flying. Watch this space . . .

A prayer for vocations
In light of my post about the 20 year high in vocations to the priesthood in these USA, I received this:
I saw the article you posted on the increase of Priestly Vocations.
I am in need of a Prayer for Vocations.
I thought you had one on the Blog, but I can not find it. [Ah, yes!]
The one that was on the USCCB's web site is down :( I am not wishing to burden you with writing one, but am looking for one you may know of or have already.
I am involved with 2 different meetings / workshops this week with Catholic Men. K of C (Council 7027) on Thursday and Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee Men's Prayer Breakfast on Saturday. I will share this good news on Priestly Vocations with them, pray with them, and wish to leave them a prayer for Vocations. [My greetings to them.]
Thanks again for all you do.
Yes, indeed. At my home parish in my native place – St. Agnes in St. Paul, Minnesota – we prayed for vocations at ever Sunday and Holy Day Mass after the Gospel (everyone knelt) and before the announcements/sermon. That prayer, combined with the effortless efforts of the late Msgr. Schuler, produced 30 1st Masses in the parish in 33 years. I'll get back there someday, perhaps.
Here is the prayer:
LEADER: Please kneel for our prayer for vocations.
ALL: O God, we earnestly beseech Thee to bless this (arch)diocese with many priests, brothers and sisters, who will gladly spend their entire lives to serve Thy Church and to make Thee known and loved.
LEADER: Bless our families. Bless our children.
ALL: Choose from our homes those who are needed for Thy work.
LEADER: Mary, Queen of the Clergy!
ALL: Pray for us. Pray for our priests and religious. Obtain for us many more.
A friend back home sent me one of the original holy cards, which I prize.
It isn't mysterious, people.
Hard-identity Catholicism, true, faithful and joy-filled, produces vocations. At the heart of this hard-identity Catholicism is faithful, dignified liturgical worship and the unambiguous fidelity of priests who provide an example.

Breath of fresh air from fifty years ago! None of the squishy social-justice patter that would soon start giving social justice a bad name.
Supertradmum says:
Amen and glad to hear of the rise in vocations, praise God. My opinion is that good, strong, orthodox Catholic families produce good, strong, orthodox priests. I would love to see a statistics from the States on how many of the new seminarians are from home schooling or strong, independent Catholic schools.
Few bishops are not faced with hard decisions re: closing or merging parishes. I think one
of the criteria used in making the decision should be whether or not the parish in question
has produced vocations in proportion to its size.
The parish of my college years was large (3 priests, usually a seminarian doing his diaconate
year, plenty of full-time staff, including a 'liturgist') and had thousands of Catholic students,
faculty and residents of the city to fill its pews. It was also breathtakingly heterodox, and in
the 5 years I attended, produced not one vocation. Contrast that with my present parish,
which hosts an EF Mass every Sunday as part of its regular schedule of Masses. It is much,
much smaller and less affluent than the parish of my college days. Yet our diocese is seldom
without at least one of our parishioners in its seminary.
Luke 13:6-9 speaks of what one might sensibly do with a barren fig tree… just sayin'.
Polycarp says:
I attend a parish in the St Paul Archdiocese. A few years ago we said that prayer during every Sunday mass. (Last year we said a prayer for the year of Faith). Now with the start of Advent we have begun to say this prayer again. It's interesting… I didn't realize the prayer was that old. The copy we have in the pews state that it was written by Archbishop Harry Flynn.
I know of a few vocations recently from our Parish. I hope we have many more!
Great post, Fr. Z.
I teach Religion to about 60 young men a year who are freshmen in high school. Please pray for me and all teachers who try to bring the Light of Faith to our young people.
jesusthroughmary says:
I always wondered about the origin of this prayer. It is recited at every Mass at the great Mater Ecclesiae in Berlin, NJ (home of the mighty Father Pasley), and I have adopted it for nightly recitation in our family bedtime prayers. Thanks for this post.
Grabski says:
Data from Georgetown's CARA center show a rise in diosesan priests globally since 1985, and a major rise in seminarians and ordinations. The religious orders continue to founder, but it appears the changes put in by JP II and B XVI are bearing fruit -globally. The US data is interestingly showing a rise (off a low base) in ordinations, but a rise in seminarians.
30 first Masses in 33 years…what glory is given to God. Now, compare that to my current parish (not of my choice, but of necessity.) Nothing there happens that's really heretical in terms of teaching, or abusive in terms of liturgy…but vocations get an honorable mention in the bidding prayers after praying for racial equality, if they get a mention at all. Our Catholic identity ain't the strongest, either. As far as I know, we have had 1 first Mass in the last decade.
Fr John Trigilio says:
Heavenly Father,We ask you to bless our diocese with selfless hearts that are willing to serve You, by serving Your Church. Lord Jesus raise up from our homes those called by the Father: courageous and humble men to the Priesthood, faithful people to Consecrated Life and holy men and women to the sacrament of Marriage. Holy Spirit, help us to live our universal vocation to holiness, by listening to the Father's voice and responding with a sacrificial love. Holy Mary, Model of Vocations, teach us to hear and follow your Son. Holy Mary, Queen of Priests, sanctify our priests and obtain for us many more.Holy Mary, Mother of the Church, pray for our families and intercede for our children.

MangiaMamma says:
Well, the prayers are working here in Salem, Oregon!
Our oldest son, Joshua, is hopefully heading to seminary this Fall for the Archdiocese of Portland. He has only been Catholic for 2 1/2 years. He told his dad and me he was being called to the priesthood before he even joined The Church (I am a revert & his dad and siblings came Home at the same time). This was most surprising as he never once thought of going into ministry while growing up as an evangelical. It's been a very interesting journey we have all been traveling so far, and after reading your post, I feel compelled more than ever to pray for the young men and women all over the world who are discerning priesthood and religious life.
@supertradmum- my kids were all homeschooled, and Joshua is graduating from Thomas More College in New Hampshire this May.

It is no wonder that of the men in seminary in St. Paul MN there is such a disproportionate number of them who claim St. Agnes as their home parish.
Torpedo1 says:
We still say it at St. Agnes Fr. Z. Please come back, just for a visit? :) Also, at the parish my sister and her husband attend, St. Joseph's in West St. Paul, they say the same prayer at Mass and their vocations have been steadily increasing as well.
Chuck3030 says:
Same story at Saint Charles Borromeo in Northeast Minneapolis. I was just there this past Sunday for their celebration of the 75th anniversary of the parish, with Bishop Piche (one of the bishops from that parish) celebrating the mass with 6 or 7 of the current and former pastors, both of the deacons, and the parish's 4 seminarians we have currently stateside. (It is not often that you see gold vestments in Advent.) When compiling a list of parishes ranked by seminary representation, Saint Charles is always up there with Saint Agnes.

Export adata to a UCSC Cell Browser project directory. If html_dir is set, subsequently build the html files from the project directory into html_dir. If port is set, start an HTTP server in the background and serve html_dir on port.
By default, export all gene expression data from adata.raw, the annotations louvain, percent_mito, n_genes and n_counts and the top nb_marker cluster markers. All existing files in data_dir are overwritten, except cellbrowser.conf.
See UCSC Cellbrowser for details.
Path to directory for exported Cell Browser files. Usually these are the files exprMatrix.tsv.gz, meta.tsv, coordinate files like tsne.coords.tsv, and cluster marker gene lists like markers.tsv. A file cellbrowser.conf is also created with pointers to these files. As a result, each adata object should have its own project_dir.
Name of dataset in Cell Browser, a string without special characters. This is written to data_dir/cellbrowser.conf. Ideally this is a short unique name for the dataset, like "pbmc3k" or "tabulamuris".
Annotations in adata.obsm to export. Can be a dictionary with key -> display label.
Do not export the matrix. If you had previously exported this adata into the same data_dir, then there is no need to export the whole matrix again. This option will make the export a lot faster, e.g. when only coordinates or meta data were changed.
If this variable is set, the export will build html files from data_dir to html_dir, creating html/js/json files. Usually there is one global html output directory for all datasets. Often, html_dir is located under a webserver's (like Apache) htdocs directory or is copied to one. A directory html_dir/project_name will be created and an index.html will be created under html_dir for all subdirectories. Existing files will be overwritten. If do not to use html_dir, you can use the command line tool cbBuild to build the html directory.
If this variable and html_dir are set, Python's built-in web server will be spawned as a daemon in the background and serve the files under html_dir. To kill the process, call cellbrowser.cellbrowser.stop().

A £14m new build hotel that forms and integral part of a wider masterplan in a central area of Brighton.
Consists of 80 bedrooms over four storeys as well as a restaurant, bar and meeting rooms. A car park and the back-of-house facilities are located at basement level. The main public spaces, including three separate shop units, are on the ground floor.
The hotel faces a new public square. The restaurant and bar can be accessed directly from here, as well as from the hotel foyer. Substantial glazing was introduced on the East wall facing the 'twitten', which is a public footpath; the idea being to generate more activity and interest in what was formerly a derelict alley.
The third floor is set back from the main façade, forming a continuous terrace. Curved corners soften the impact of the building and provide an interesting dialogue with other new developments nearby.
The hotel bedrooms, some of which have central rotating beds with integral writing desks, are located on floors one, two and three. All rooms were planned around a central lightwell.

Are Soccer Players Paid More Than Football Players?
As an avid sports enthusiast, I was recently wondering about the pay differences between soccer and football players.
This question goes far beyond just the USSF since soccer is a truly international sport, unlike American football.
International soccer players are frequently ranked as some of the world's highest-grossing athletes in salary and generated revenue. But since the NFL is also big business, I wanted to know – are soccer players paid more than football players?
International soccer players are paid more than American football players. This is, in part, due to endorsements and business arrangements in media and advertising. However, American soccer players earn less per year than football players as football is the dominant sport in the US.
It is impossible to compare football salaries to soccer salaries solely in America, so this article will analyze how NFL salaries stack up against soccer players' salaries globally.
Read on to discover how much USSF soccer players are paid and how this compares to international soccer salaries.
Furthermore, in this article, I will compare soccer salaries to football salaries to find out which sport pays the most overall.
Check out my article – Soccer Vs Football: 12 Significant Differences – for a full comparison of the two sports.
How Much Do Soccer Players Make in America and Globally?
Let's face it, when people think of soccer, they usually think of international teams like F.C. Barcelona or Manchester United.
The United States Soccer Federation's (USSF) most popular league is Major League Soccer (MLS), but this American league hangs in the shadow of the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the National Football League (NFL).
This isn't due to the players' lack of skill, but simply because the NFL and NBA are sewn into American culture fabric.
For a fascinating look at whether soccer is more challenging than football or not, check out this article I wrote. Or to discover if soccer is harder than basketball, have a look at this article I wrote.
In contrast, soccer (also known as football outside America) fills this national pastime in many other countries worldwide. Find out why it's called soccer in America here.
It's a cultural distinction, and there are undoubtedly many USSF fans here in the States, but it's not our most popular sport.
USSF player earnings are much lower than international soccer players because of this reason.
So what are the differences in pay between American soccer players and international soccer players?
United States Soccer Federation (USSF)
USSF's most distinctive branch is Major League Soccer (MLS), which uses a complicated payment system for its players.
The MLS affords each team a set amount to spend each year ($4.9 million in 2020). This salary cap essentially means that each team of 20-30 players can only make a specific salary each year.
Salaries are determined based on player ranking and overall performance within the team.
A designated player clause allows a team to select one or two players to join the team at a cost that typically far exceeds the cap.
MLS pays a smaller amount of a designated player's salary (usually in the millions of dollars range), while the team owners pay the bulk of the expense.
Check out my article – Does soccer have a salary cap? – to understand more about how this works.
Therefore, most MLS players make a comfortable six-figure salary but only designated players earn the salaries seen by the NBA, NFL, or international soccer players.
Watch this short video for a full breakdown of the MLS salary cap:
MLS Salary Cap Explained
Outside of America, soccer is one of the most popular sports globally.
Several famous teams are spread across Europe, Asia, and as far east as Oceania.
The global popularity of soccer and many instantly recognizable names like Cristiano Ronaldo, and Lionel Messi, ensure that soccer player salaries are much higher on an international level than what is seen in America.
Like what is seen in American with NBA and NFL players, international soccer has many sports stars that make millions of dollars each year. Most of this comes from media exposure, endorsements, and advertising.
Most large soccer leagues worldwide do not recognize the type of salary structure seen with the MLS.
This means that global soccer players can accrue more income due to fame and notoriety associated with major leagues like the Premier League in England or La Liga in Spain.
International soccer player salaries are similar to NFL salaries, but let's look at how much American football players make.
How Much Do NFL Players Make?
It can be said that there is perhaps no more prominent name in American sports than the NFL.
Although NBA players usually make more than NFL players due to smaller teams, the NFL oversees huge annual revenue streams across a variety of sectors.
NFL players also reap these rewards, with yearly salaries in the millions for many top-tier players.
Furthermore, even lower-tiered rookie players can command annual salaries near the $500,000 mark.
But overall, NFL salaries are similar to what is seen with the NBA; player experience and performance play a significant factor in what they earn.
So even if a player in the NFL is not a superstar name, the annual pay is impressive.
Why International Soccer Players Make More Than Football Players
Major international soccer leagues operate a similar business model to the one the NFL uses; the better a player performs, the bigger their notoriety and paychecks become.
This is a merit system that is not seen with the USSF, but there is a bigger picture. The NFL is to America what Roman gladiators were to the Roman Empire–athletic superstars.
International soccer is just like this example; millions of fans buy tickets to games and tune in on televisions to participate in the sporting experience.
The communal fan experience is a major factor in why international soccer players and NFL players command so much attention; this translates to huge salaries.
So, having established that NFL players make more than USSF players, why do international soccer players make more than NFL players?
It's all about optics and personal taste.
Take England, for example; what we know as football here is similar to what is known as rugby in the U.K. Although most people view rugby as being a tougher game than American football.
But even though there is a similar style of game that people could watch, they choose to watch soccer instead.
In fact, in the U.K. and other European and Asian nations, soccer (football) has the status that the NFL has in America.
Players become stars based on fan engagement and personal performance; additionally, the media and retail markets cash-in on this fan engagement by selling sporting products and goods featuring soccer league emblems and players.
It also comes down to numbers.
What we call soccer has more global fans numbers-wise than the football version that we play here in America.
There are many star NFL players that make similar salaries to international soccer players, but the NFL does not have the broad global reach that soccer does.
Because so many more countries invest in soccer rather than football, the player salaries are sometimes similar to NFL salaries.
But when combined across the globe, soccer players typically earn more money than American football players.
Think about it; when a team plays infinitely more games per season to larger global audiences, this type of exposure is guaranteed to generate more revenue across the board.
Soccer players are paid more than football players because there are more teams worldwide with greater fan engagement.
A helpful way to think of it would be to take the NFL and times that by numerous countries that have a soccer team with the same popularity of the NFL in America.
American football is not widely seen across the world, which makes American football a niche sport when viewed by a global audience.
Soccer is virtually everywhere, including in America. But in the US, NFL players earn much more than MLS players overall.

A change is coming for buyers and sellers of residential property: are you ready?
From 1 July 2018, buyers of certain residential property are not only buyers, they are also part of the Australian Taxation Office's (ATO) new force of tax collectors, specifically to collect GST.
What is changing?
From 1 July 2018, the recipient of a supply of new residential property (usually the Buyer of the property) has the obligation to withhold and pay to the ATO the GST on the supply.1
The GST withholding regime will apply to taxable supplies by way of sale of:
'new residential premises' (other than those created through 'substantial renovations' of a building and are not 'commercial residential premises'); or
'potential residential land' that is included in a 'property subdivision plan' and does not contain any building that is used for a commercial purpose.
The terms 'new residential premises', 'substantial renovations', 'potential residential land' and 'property subdivision plan' are existing terms in the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Act 1999 (Cth) (GST Act). The terminology used is not new but there are complexities in interpreting what these terms mean.
The key features of the new GST withholding regime are as follows:
The measures apply from 1 July 2018. The measures apply to contracts under which consideration (other than the deposit) is first provided on and after 1 July 2018, regardless of when the contract was first entered into (ie: when contracts are exchanged).
As a transitional measure, contracts exchanged prior to 1 July 2018 for which consideration (other than the deposit) is first provided before 1 July 2020, are excluded from the GST withholding regime. This means that if the contract is exchanged prior to 1 July 2018 but it doesn't settle until after 1 July 2020, then the exclusion does not apply and the GST withholding regime will apply.
The amount to be withheld is either 1/11th of the 'Contract Price' or if the margin scheme applies, 7% of the 'Contract Price'.
The GST withholding amount is calculated by reference to the sale price in the contract for sale ie: 'the Contract Price', before the usual adjustments are made for land tax, rates, etc
To facilitate the Buyer's obligation to withhold GST, the Seller has an obligation to give notice to the Buyer of the details of the Buyer's obligation to withhold before making the supply of residential premises or potential residential land by way of sale or long-term lease. The contents of the notice is prescribed by legislation.
The Seller is entitled to claim the GST input tax credits for the withheld amount that the Buyer has paid to the ATO. This means that if the Buyer withholds an amount from the Seller, but does not pay it to the ATO, the Seller will not be entitled to the input tax credits.
To minimise disruption to the usual settlement process, the Buyers are taken to have met their obligations if they hand over to the Seller on settlement day a bank cheque made payable to the ATO for the withheld amount.
The sale of a house and land package may have different GST treatment depending on how the contract is structured. The sale of a house and land package under a single contract will require withholding on both the land and building components. However, if a separate contract is entered into for the sale of land with a separate contract for construction, withholding applies only to the sale of land contract.
Penalties for non-compliance
If the Buyer fails to withhold and pay the withheld amount to the ATO, the Buyer is liable for an administrative penalty equal to the amount that was to be withheld.
If the Seller fails to give the Buyer notice as required, (for example, if the Seller does not make one of the required disclosures or if they make incorrect disclosures), this is a strict liability offence. The maximum penalty is 100 penalty units or $21,000. In addition, the Seller is liable for an administrative penalty of 100 penalty units or $21,000.
This new GST withholding regime has shifted the responsibility of collecting GST on the sale of residential property to Buyers. The penalties for non-compliance on the Buyer and Seller are significant.
The withholding regime will not only impact the buyers, property owners and developers but will impact all parties involved in the property sale transaction, such as lawyers, accountants and financiers.
The changes mean that property owners or developers will no longer have the benefit of the GST component of the purchase price in their operations between settlement and their next business activity statement. As such, they will need to consider the impact on cash flow and may need to take steps with their financiers to manage the impact.
Financiers will be impacted as the changes mean that, effectively, the ATO is given priority ahead of secured creditors for the GST component.
Property owners or developers with long-term contracts will need to review and consider how the transitional measures will impact on their existing contracts.
As a result, property owners, developers, buyers and all parties involved in a property sale transaction should ensure that they understand the new rules and make changes as necessary to accommodate the new settlement process.
If there is any doubt about the characterisation of a transaction, please contact us for legal advice. We can review your situation and your contract and advise you of your position and options.

FUCK ROOB. KEEP ALSHON.
Posted in: Conspiracy Corner, Conversations, Fans, free agents, Front Office (F.O.), NFL, Offense, Players, Rants, Roster, The 12. Tagged: 2020, Alshon Jeffery, Amari Cooper, Carson Wentz, Eagles, James Thrash, NBC, Philadelphia, Reuben Frank, Stephon Diggs. Leave a comment
NBC'S Reuben Frank put out a steaming pile of bullshit, that called Alshon Jeffery a James Thrash clone. In it, he compares some "average season" stats, and delivers it with absolutely no context. When I see this from professional journalists, I want to just…
On one hand, it assumes the reader is smart, because it attempts to persuade with statistics. On the other hand, it assumes we're stupid, because it talks as if We The Fans haven't watched both men play, and don't get what's going on here. (I'll get into that in a minute.)
I'm guessing "Roob" either knows he's full of shit, or he doesn't do his homework:
1) Over the three seasons Thrash was here, he was QB Donovan McNabb's #1 targeted receiver.
2) Over the three seasons Jeffery has been here, he's been QB Carson Wentz's #2 targeted receiver.
3) As you can clearly see below, Jeffery has outproduced Thrash despite being fed the ball less:
Here's what's going down. This is the Eagles using a beat writer to drive the opinions of pinheads, who'll call into WIP, and parrot whatever they read that morning. The idea is to promote the perception that "the public" wants to cut Jeffery, so the Eagles then can do it with less backlash, even if they don't already have a suitable replacement.
Kind of like the dumb shit they did with cutting LB Nigel Bradham. Even I was surprised by the level of public backlash on that one. I figured Eagles fans would scarcely notice it, but nope. Boy did you! So this is likely the Front Office telegraphing the move, and trying to manipulate the perception that we fans want this. Some do. Most don't.
I already said in THE 12, that we should keep Jeffery, letting he and DeSean Jackson help groom the kid we draft this year. Developing youth is the way to go here. Let me go on record now, and say that our options for moving Jeffery are likely worse than what we have already.
The flavor of the week is Minnesota's WR Stephon Diggs. I find it hilarious that the idea is to replace Alshon's attitude, with Diggs' history of attitude issues, publicly criticizing his QB, and requesting to be traded. Here's a link for those who didn't know.
Some of you want to hamstring our salary cap, by paying Cowboys WR Amari Cooper 20 million or more per year. Amari has a terrible habit of losing interest during games, and whole chunks of the season. Remember our last game against them, where the Cowboys coaching staff benched him on he last play of the game (a CB Sidney Jones deflection in the end zone).
But we need to swap Jeffery out for this guy, right?
Someone also mentioned WR Breshad Perriman. In 5 seasons he's played in just 51 games out of a possible 80, with just 10 career starts, while never starting more than 4 games in any year. While he'd be nice to have in camp, and maybe keep as a 4th, he's by no means a 16 week starter.
Free agent WR Robby Anderson? Former Temple player. I could kind of see this one. But odds are, the Jets would overpay Anderson to keep him and provide consistency for their young franchise QB.
There are other names: A.J. Green, Emmanuel Sanders, both older. Reclamation projects like Josh Gordon and Devin Funchess. Or scratch-off tickets like DeMarcus Robinson, Tajae Sharpe, or Laquon Treadwell.
Instead of Jeffery? Really? These guys are who we hand to Wentz, and then expect more from him? That dog don't even hunt.
No. Don't let these beat writers tell you different. Alshon Jeffery is no James Thrash, and will be harder to replace than you think. Much harder. Especially given that WR Nelson Agholor won't be back. (Forgot about that, huh?) That would force Wentz into learning an entirely new WR corp.
Nah. Keep Jeffery and let him help train the pup we draft.
#3 KEEP DESEAN AND ALSHON
Posted in: Conversations, free agents, Front Office (F.O.), NFC East, Offense, Players, Roster, The 12. Tagged: 2020, Alshon Jeffery, Amari Cooper, DeSean Jackson, Eagles, Greg Ward, Philadelphia, The 12. 1 Comment
YES. The Eagles need to revamp the Wide Receiver position, but WR Greg Ward and WR J.J. Arcega-Whiteside, are not solid enough to rebuild off of. This is why we need to keep WR DeSean Jackson and WR Alshon Jeffery.
Both are already under contract for the 2020 season, and already part of a structure that affords us (at least) 42M in salary cap space. Whether or not Jackson can still fly, remains to be seen. Even if he can't however, he is still a credible NFL receiver. Jeffery on the other hand, even nicked up last year, showed that he can still produce strong games even as the focal point of a defensive secondary.
Combining Jackson, Jeffery and Ward could be dangerous, whether or not the Eagles draft a stud WR in 2020. If we do draft a top-tier player, the rookie has Jackson and Jeffery learn from, as opposed to Ward and Arcega-Whiteside to learn from.
There are those who would say that we should go out and add Dallas free agent WR Amari Cooper, in Jeffery's place. That would be stupid. Coop no doubt has all kinds of talent, but in Dallas just like in Oakland, he has games where he just…disappears.
As a guy who also roots for the Raiders, I cannot begin to tell you how maddening this trait was in him. Especially with a QB like Derek Carr. So to bring Cooper HERE? For TWICE Jeffrey's base salary? No. No. NO! There's no need, for such… Such madness.
A talented, already affordable, veteran, who already knows our system? These are great aspects to have in a single WR. However, WE, have that in two. Each dangerous in his own fashion. So we should keep them. Both of them, and use them a starting point for the rebuild.
A rebuild which has to begin sooner, rather than later.
EAGLES WIN WAR WITH COWBOYS
Posted in: Conspiracy Corner, Conversations, Front Office (F.O.), NFC East, NFL, Offense, Players, Rivals, stats, Uncategorized. Tagged: 2019, Amari Cooper, Carson Wentz, contract, Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys, Eagles, Ezekiel Elliott, holdout, Jerry Jones, Philadelphia, Salary Cap, war, window. Leave a comment
THE Cowboys swept the Eagles in 2018. That was a classic case of winning a battle, but losing a war. Make no mistake, from a long-term perspective, the Cowboys have already lost this war, because the Eagles have effectively shut any Super Bowl window that the Cowboys may have had.
When I said that, I was under the impression that the financial issues that Dallas is enduring now, wouldn't hit until March of 2020. I figured QB Dak Prescott would play out his rookie deal quietly. I figured WR Amari Cooper would play out his deal quietly. I figured RB Ezekiel Elliott would play out his deal as well, mostly quietly.
I saw this financial bind coming, I just didn't think their players would trigger it. There was no way to see this coming. Had you told me in June, that Dallas would be going through this in 2019, I'd have dismissed it as a delusional fantasy, from a rival fan. I'd have said "You're playing at FARCE! There's no way the Cowboys players would derail their own team in that fashion!"
Yet here we are. So then, why do I credit the Eagles with what is happening in Dallas. How does QB Carson Wentz signing his contract, derail an entire franchise 1,500 miles away? How can the two things be connected? Surely I'm grasping at straws, right?
I'm going to keep this VERY simple. I'm going to draw three Simple Lines of Reasoning, and make it so that anybody who's literate will understand it. There is no rocket science here. There is no "fuzzy math". There is no smoke, nor mirrors. Here we go.
(FACT) Wentz signs his deal in Philly for 32M$ per year on his extension.
(SLR) Dak Prescott in Dallas realizes that he hasn't missed any games, he has won two division titles, he has played in actual playoff games, and head to head he "owns" Wentz. Prescott thinks he deserves more money.
(FACT) At the end of 2019 the Cowboys have to re-sign both Prescott, and Amari Cooper. If Prescott and the Cowboys don't reach a deal during the season, Prescott will be Franchise tagged at about 33.9M$ per year. Cooper will command between 18 and 20M$ per year, and is a MUST HAVE, to legitimize Prescott's tagged cap figure. On the low side, that comes in at 51.9M for those two players in 2020.
(SLR) Ezekiel Elliott has two years remaining on his rookie deal, but realizes that all of his potential extension money is going out the door NOW. Especially if he gets hurt, or has already been hurt, and is hiding it from the team to keep his value from depreciating. Powerbacks don't have long NFL careers. If he or his doctor already sees a coming issue, he HAS TO hold out now. Once Prescott and Cooper have their checks in hand, there'll be no more room at the feeding trough in two years.
(FACT) The Cowboys could've locked Prescott up for about 27M$ per year last year, but they didn't. Prescott being paid less than QB's Russell Wilson (35M per year, 1SB win, 2 appearances), Ben Rothlisberger (34M, 2SB wins), and Aaron Rodgers (33.5M, 1 SB win), was one thing. However, when Wentz with ZERO playoff wins, signed for 32M, it changed the valuation metrics.
(SLR) Prescott could sign with the Cowboys for a one year extension, and then once the new CBA is done, (with a much higher cap figure), then giving him a deal of 35M to 42M would be an easy lift. However, salary figures are ego driven. It's not just about how many dollars a contract is worth, it's also about what percentage of the cap can you get a team to commit to just you as a player. Making 34M of a 188M cap (18.0%), is less valuable than making 45M of a 260M cap (17.3%). There's a difference of 9M in dollars, but it's not about the dollars. Prescott can make up that 9M on an endorsement deal for Ford pick-up trucks, or Charles Schwab investments or whatever. It's about being able to say "I mattered this much." "I was this important to them." "Once upon a time, I was the top. I was the pinnacle." The QB that had to wait four rounds to hear his name, wants to say that he made it. In that regard he HAS TO beat Wentz's deal. It otherwise invalidates beating his stats.
People keep missing the forest for the trees. We live in age of loud voices, too much make-up, and movement for the sake of movement. What are you saying? Who are you underneath all that? Where are you really trying to go? Nuance now seems lost on most people. People disregard the small details, even though they influence everything.
Like the way one small signature in South Philly, tore down an entire franchise in Dallas.
IT'S ALREADY STARTING
Posted in: Conversations, free agents, Front Office (F.O.), NFC East, NFL, Offense, Players, Rivals. Tagged: 2019, Allen Hurns, Amari Cooper, Carson Wentz, Dak Prescott, Dallas Cowboys, demise, Eagles, Ezekiel Elliott, Philadelphia, soylent. 1 Comment
BACK on June 7th, I said that the Eagles signing of QB Carson Wentz to a 4 year extension, forces the Dallas Cowboys into a phone booth. I figured that those chickens would come home to roost at the end of the 2019-2020 season. However, events have conspired to actually hasten the demise of the Cowboys 2019 season, and likely beyond.
The first event was attempting contract negotiation with Cowboys QB Dak Prescott. A smarter team would have let the season start, gauged Prescott's effectiveness or lack thereof, then made him an offer accordingly. Especially since they seem less than gung-ho, about committing to him long term for some reason.
Laugh if you want. She can probably suck the chrome off a trailer hitch.
Instead the Cowboys tried to get ahead of an inflating market, far too late into the process. If they were going to do that, they should have done so before a QB with lesser stats (Wentz), was inked to an offer commensurate with what franchise QB's are going for today.
The second event was the "leaked" plan of Cowboys RB Ezekiel Elliott, to hold out if he doesn't get a new deal, two years early. The Cowboys win when Elliott plays, and they lose when he doesn't. If the Cowboys don't pay him, they're left with an over-rated, soon to be over-paid QB, throwing to their star (ugh, unintended pun) WR Amari Cooper, who's on the last year of his deal, having said that he plans to play his contract out.
(FYI: Cooper is waiting to see what kind of money Falcons WR Julio Jones pulls down, to see what the market looks like. There is ZERO guarantee that he stays in Dallas.)
I won't even mention all the other expiring contracts the Cowboys have to deal with at season's end. As it stands, these three are problematic enough on their own, but they're hitting all at once. And what's crazy is that NONE of them needs to be!
The reason I say "it's already starting" is because today the Cowboys cut WR Allen Hurns, after he refused a pay cut. He was scheduled to carry a 2019 cap hit of 6.25M (4M base, 1.25M signing bonus, 1M roster bonus), but cutting him saves the Cowboys his 4M base. This 4M is money that they can now reallocate.
What this is, is a cannibalizing of the roster. I say this, because this is just the first of these moves. Lesser Cowboys are being ground up, to ensure that Jerry Jones team can feed his stars.
This team's starting QB, RB, and #1 WR are all playing with contracts on their minds. Either you have to prepare for the reality of losing one very shortly, or you have to realize that the only way to pay those three, is at the expense of their teammates. And don't even entertain the notion of winning the division with such distraction looming.
Oh yeah. It's already starting.

UPDATE: Biden's "Build Back Better" $1.75 Trillion Social Spending Bill
There still isn't a finished, written version of Biden's $1.75 trillion "Build Back Better" social spending bill, but here's an article about what's supposedly now in it and what failed to survive Sens. Joe Manchin and Krysten Sinema.
https://www.westernjournal.com/biden-admin-reveals-final-version-massive-build-back-better-spending-plan-includes/
You'll notice that the biggest portion, $555 billion, is for "clean energy and climate investments," which critics say means destroying the domestic fossil fuel industry, rewarding well-connected green companies and creating slush funds to support unemployed radical environmental activists. There's also $90 billion for "Equity and other investments," an awfully vague leftist buzzword description for something that's going to cost $90 billion.
(If you'd like a better idea of what "Equity" really means, the Vermont Department of Health gave us a perfect illustration with their use of "equity" in distributing COVID vaccines. It means unconstitutional prioritizing of medical treatment based on people's skin color):
https://www.westernjournal.com/equity-leaked-report-vermont-department-health-reveals-race-determines-can-get-booster-shot/
There's another $130 billion to prop up Obamacare, and another $100 billion to "improve our immigration system." Considering that after nine months of Joe Biden, we barely have an immigration system left, I shudder to think how that will be spent.
But I'm sure they'll find ways, considering this Administration is already talking about giving up to $450,000 per person in "reparations" to illegal immigrants who were separated from their families under the Trump Administration. Again, these are people who CAME HERE ILLEGALLY. Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton called it "insanity" and compared it to paying a burglar for the psychological trauma he endured when he broke into your home.
https://www.westernjournal.com/biden-admin-plans-give-450k-per-person-illegal-alien-families-separated-border-trump-report/
With that kind of "thinking," I'm sure the Biden White House will have no problem coming up with creative ways to blow 100 billion tax dollars on "immigration reforms" that will make illegal immigration even more attractive and encourage a lot more of it.
As bad as the Biden $1.75 trillion spending bill is, it could have been worse, and many Democrats are furious at Sens. Joe Manchin and Krysten Sinema for preventing that. Matt Vespa at Townhall.com explains why all their usual tactics of media and activist harassment and insults didn't faze either of them.

This bill which isn't written yet doesn't need to pass. Thank God for Manchin and Sinema. Beyond sick to death of this government.

I live on the border with Mexico, between the US Bordet Patrol, Cochise County Sheriff's department, and the Sierra Vista Police Department, we are surrounded by illegals and the police. Everyone is stressed to the max. We are living on a powder keg and the fuse has been lit by Joe Biden. Hopefully the keg won't explode but only fate can tell.

I just saw video w/ "Blessed" Burden saying : 'Pay you fair share'. He said it three times. What is your fair share and who decides?
Brett M Short
The USA officially is bankrupted. US unfunded LIABILITIES currently at $159T, the largest amount of debt in the history of the world. Biden's plan are a joke. Only idiots would continue to add to the debt. This fool Biden must be taken out before more damage is done to the Republic and Capitalism.
Mike N NC
With so many "general" descriptions of the sections, why would it take 2400 pages? What you have in this bill is just more crony capital money laundering whereby billions are distrubuted to Democrat races for years to come. Not to forget all the so called "green" industries that will go bankrupt while their CEOs make out like bandits. Again, just cronyism at it's best.

A wide variety of local young people with learning disabilities have been experiencing a number of activities in different locations along the South Devon Railway's Train Line.
This coming weekend – Saturday and Sunday 1-2 September – will see the culmination of the project.
Films, music, dance and art exhibitions will greet visitors to the railway this weekend in a two-day creative take-over of the line, with new artworks, performances and digital media installations all made by the young people, marking 60 years since the line closed to the public in 1958.
All Aboard, a project supported by the National Lottery through the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF) has enabled 50 young people to learn about our steam railway and to work with artists to find new ways to interpret local history. Their research has included riding on the trains, visiting museums, talking to those who remember catching the train when it was part of the public transport system, and interviewing railway visitors. The South Devon Railway is a fully accessible heritage railway operated largely by volunteers and steam engines, and it is important for everyone to know about and understand their local history. The Totnes to Ashburton line first opened in 1872, and the coming of the railway had a huge impact on the area. This project has helped another generation connect with their heritage.
New and original artworks will be displayed all across the railway on 1-2 September, including films in the Picnic Coach and museum at Buckfastleigh and sound, sculpture, prints and drawings in the waiting rooms in Totnes and Staverton. Later in the month, a new documentary will be broadcast on Soundart Radio (http://www.soundartradio.org.uk), featuring local songs about the train between Totnes and Ashburton.
Come along at the weekend and see what the project has been about, you will be very welcome indeed. Many of the artists who have facilitated the project will be at one or other of the locations – everywhere on the line is involved – and there is no doubt that this is a great scheme for the South Devon Railway. If you really want to get a feel for the project and didn't catch this evening's BBC Spotlight, do have a look on our Facebook as a clip of the news article will be going out this evening.

A life-long skill
Bramcote College runs a British Sign Language course every year. The tuition provided by the College is worth £440 alone – and it is a life-long skill that you get.
As a student at Bramcote College tuition and exam fees are met by the Trust. Some registration fees do apply. For full details of the course including dates, times and fees please see the attached letter.
Sign Language is a visual means of communicating using gestures, facial expression, and body language. Sign Language is used mainly by people who are Deaf or have hearing impairments.
Within Britain the most common form of Sign Language is called British Sign Language (BSL). BSL has it's own grammatical structure and syntax, as a language it is not dependant nor is it strongly related to spoken English. BSL is the preferred language of around 145,000 people within the UK (2011).
A Recognised Language
After a big campaign BSL was finally recognised by the UK government as an official minority language in 2003. This has led to increased funding for the needs of the coummunication of people who are Deaf, and an increased awareness of the language which now has a similar status to that of other minority national languages such as Gaelic and Welsh.

Reif greeted students and their families after the event.
Formally convening MIT's Class of 2017 for the first time, President L. Rafael Reif yesterday welcomed first-year students, and their families, to the Institute.
Reif was joined in his remarks at the annual Freshman Convocation, held in Killian Court, by Krystyn Van Vliet, an associate professor of materials science and engineering; Duane Boning, the Skolkovo Foundation Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science; and Julie Soriero, director of athletics and head of the Department of Athletics, Physical Education and Recreation.
Reif reassured the first-year students that they would soon come to view the Institute as home — much as he did as a new faculty member 33 years ago.
"When I first arrived here, I knew almost nobody," the president said, in prepared remarks. "My home was a long way away, in Venezuela. I felt excited to join this amazing place — but I had plenty of worries: Would my work be good enough? Would my English be good enough? Would I fit in? … But very soon, I came to feel that MIT was my home — and that this community was like an extended family."
Reif offered the students "sincere congratulations" for earning a place in the Class of 2017, noting that only 8.2 percent of applicants to this year's freshman class were offered admission.
"You are all members of this incredibly strong and talented group of admitted students," Reif said. "As talented as you are, you must have had several other options for where to attend college. I want to tell all of you today: You all made an extremely smart choice."
In joining MIT, Reif told the students that they join a community that pursues learning not just to complete a degree, but also to make a positive impact in the world.
"The world needs students with an MIT education, one that combines the rigor of the discipline of your choice with a broad understanding of the society that you will go on to be part of and to serve," he said. "You are joining a community that aspires to the highest standards of excellence and meritocracy; a community that always chooses to take the high road. We challenge one another to do our best — and to understand our strengths and to recognize and overcome our weaknesses."
Reif promised the freshmen that over the next four years, they will make a transformational leap in technical skills and personal growth. And he urged the students to have confidence in themselves, adding, "We admitted you to MIT because every one of you has what it takes to succeed at MIT. … Apply yourself, take advantage of the extremely rich environment MIT offers you, and you will succeed."
Convocation was also attended by Provost Chris Kaiser; Chancellor Eric Grimson; Dean of Undergraduate Education Dennis Freeman; Dean of Graduate Education Christine Ortiz; and Dean for Student Life Chris Colombo.
Following the ceremony — and the singing of the Institute's anthem by the MIT Chorallaries — Reif and his wife, Chris, along with Grimson, greeted students and parents in Killian Court. Colombo then hosted a luncheon for parents at the Johnson Athletic Center as students returned to their residence halls for their own brunch.

Prospects for linear collider calorimetry in China
Detector school helps Chinese students find their way into ILC R&D
A group photo taken just outside the classroom on the CCAST campus.
"How do you 'see' neutrons in a scintillator calorimetry?" asks Frank Simon a group of 40 students in the afternoon three days into a five-day "Calorimetry for International Linear Collider" school, held from 22 to 26 April in Beijing. The spring in Beijing is just over outside the classroom on the CCAST campus, and the Chinese students who traveled from many academic institutions across mainland China, such as Tsinghua University, Institute of High Energy Physics Chinese Academy of Science (IHEP) and the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC), eagerly hitch forward in their seats. "Have you played billiards?" An excellent lecturer himself (and a blogger for Quantum Diaries), Simon effectively delivers his ideas as the students speak up. What target would take away momentum from neutrons? Exactly, the mass equivalent of neutrons, the protons. Hydrogen in the active medium makes the detector, and thus the plastic scintillator, sensitive to neutrons.
Junping Tian, a fourth-year PhD student at Tsinghua, examines a scintillator strip. He commented on the school that it was fascinating to learn many methods to measure energies.
The school was initiated as a follow-up to last year's time projection chamber (TPC) school also held in Beijing. "The idea of calorimetry school naturally came up after the successful TPC school," says Yuanning Gao of Tsinghua University in China, one of the two organisers of the calorimetry school. "The idea is to provide students with opportunities to learn the basics before attending international conferences which are often much harder to comprehend and require a deeper understanding."
Contacted by Gao, Roman Poeschl, a calorimetry expert at LAL (Laboratoire de l'Accélérateur Linéaire, Orsay, France), quickly organised lecturers by inviting internationally recognized calorimeter experts who work in the field. All of them agreed spontaneously to give a lecture and helped to make the school a success. "It is a wonderful opportunity to come to a country which will be of great importance for particle physics and also has many well-educated and bright minds. The idea was to present entry points to the field and the collaboration, and to form a 'platform' of linear collider calorimetry in mainland China."
The "Calorimetry for ILC" school has an extensive programme entirely focused on calorimetry: from a whole-day introduction of calorimetry to the CALICE silicon-tungsten, scintillator and digital electromagnetic calorimeter (ECal), analogue and digital hadron calorimeter (HCal), front-end electronics and the needs at CLIC energies. Finally the importance of high granular calorimeters for Particle Flow Algorithms was emphasized. "The idea was to cover very broad aspects of calorimetry," says Poeschl. "We tried to make sure that all technologies are represented."
Roman Poeschl and Toru Takeshita take questions from students during coffee breaks.
Liang Guan, a PhD student in physics at USTC, who took a 11-hour train journey from the city of Hefei to attend, expresses his interests in large international collaborations in high-energy physics. Lei Zhang, a PhD student at Nanjing University who is working on IHEP's BESIII, says he is very interested in linear collider experiments in the future because he has a strong interest in experiments at the high-energy frontier. He adds that every lecture was worthwhile to note even on subjects not of his specialty because they gave him a broader and deeper perspective.
What comes next? "We would like to maybe go for ILC physics next year," says Gao. The funding for such schools however is always an issue. "This school this year was paid by CCAST, NSFC and Tsinghua University. I would like travel and accommodation expenses for every student to be paid by the school." Poeschl says he would also like to see a school on pixel detectors. In the interim the lecture series in China can be the foundation for a regular and a high-level school on ILC experimentation. Such a school would become a must once the ILC project starts moving towards its realization.

Shutdown over: Federal employees should report to work Thursday morning. Back pay coming soon.
By on	 October 16, 2013 OMB, OPM
The 16-day partial government shutdown is officially over as President Obama has signed a stop-gap spending bill, Office of Management and Budget Director Sylvia Burwell said in a message released early Thursday morning. "This evening, the President signed a continuing resolution that reopens the federal government and the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) issued guidance to all departments and agencies to resume operations in a prompt and orderly manner," Burwell said. "In the days ahead, we will work closely with departments and agencies to make the transition back to full operating status as smooth as possible. This has been a particularly challenging time…
Shutdown Watch-Day 15. It's white-knuckle time.
By on	 October 15, 2013 2014 Budget
Good morning! Let's start the day with a cheery observation often attributed to the 18th-century English writer Samuel Johnson: "Nothing concentrates a man's mind more than the prospect of being hanged in the morning." Figuratively speaking, the same seems to be true of Congress. The specter of impending economic calamity, combined with rising public disapproval, (particularly for Republicans), over the partial government shutdown, appears to have prodded senators to close in on yet another stop-gap budget deal that could have just as easily been reached a month ago. As reported by Defense News, a sister publication of Federal Times, Senate…
How has the shutdown affected you?
Hi everyone: As of tomorrow morning, much of the federal government will have been closed for two full weeks. If you're a federal employee, how has this affected you? Federal Times is working on an article about the shutdown's impact on the federal workforce; if you'd like to share your story, please email Staff Writer Sean Reilly at sreilly@federaltimes.com and let me know how to reach you. Thanks very much! Sean
House members press for Senate action on back-pay bill
Two Virginia lawmakers are seeking quick Senate action on legislation that would assure back pay to furloughed federal employees once the partial government shutdown ends. The bill, sponsored by Rep. Jim Moran, D-Va., passed the House last Saturday 407-0, but has stalled in the Senate, where Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, has voiced reservations about a fast-track vote. In a Friday letter, Moran and Rep. Frank Wolf, R-Va., the bill's lead Republican co-sponsor, urged Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to work with their "respective caucuses to overcome any objections to advance this important legislation."
Government shutdown begins
By on	 October 1, 2013 2014 Budget, Agriculture, OPM
The closing of a vast swath of government operations is now under way as this Office of Management and Budget memo makes clear. The U.S. Agriculture Department, meanwhile, has wasted no time taking down its website. The Office of Personnel Management's site, however, is still live, with a page with guidance on everything you probably never wanted to know about employee furloughs.
NIST cancels conference as shutdown looms
By on	 September 30, 2013 2014 Budget, Congress, Information Technology
At least one federal conference is being postponed this week because of a potential government shutdown. The National Institute of Standards and Technology is postponing its Cloud Computing and Mobility Forum this week "because we could not guarantee NIST's facility would be open on the first day of the meeting, Oct. 1," according to an agency spokeswoman. "The meeting has not been rescheduled." More than 500 people had registered for the conference, including about 130 federal employees. Many federal employees would be forced to stay home without pay if Congress doesn't strike a budget deal by midnight. Just at DoD, some 400,000 employees…
Debt ceiling doomsday may come as early as Feb. 15
By on	 January 7, 2013 2013 Budget
Now that the tax portion of the fiscal cliff mess has been resolved — for now, at least — the next major dispute will likely be over raising the debt ceiling. Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner said last month that although the federal government reached its debt limit Dec. 31, he could finagle another two months or so by taking so-called "extraordinary measures." That implied the government could keep running as-is until the end of February. It turns out those measures may not be all that extraordinary. The Bipartisan Policy Center, a think tank that studies budgetary matters, just put out…
OMB posts shutdown guidance
By on	 April 7, 2011 2011 Budget, OMB, Uncategorized
More evidence–as if more were needed–that this government spending standoff is getting serious: the Office of Management and Budget has just posted a 16-page memo for shutdown planning on its web site. Lots of technical advice for agencies on topics like travel, IT operations and contracting. The latest stopgap spending resolution expires at midnight Friday. If Congress appears unlikely to enact a new one Saturday, OMB will issue instructions the same day "for agencies to proceed with their shutdown implementation," Director Jack Lew wrote in the memo. On one burning question, OMB leaves it up to agencies to decide whether…


LLPs have to keep accounting records which enable the members to prepare accounts that comply with the requirements of the legislation.
a record of the assets and liabilities.
a statement of all goods sold and purchased, other than by ordinary retail trade. This should list the goods, the buyers and sellers.
A parent LLP must take reasonable steps to ensure that any subsidiary undertaking keeps sufficient accounting records so that the members of the parent LLP are able to prepare accounts that comply with the requirements of the Companies Act, including where the accounts are prepared using International Accounting Standards (IAS).
An LLP must keep its accounting records at its registered office address or a place that the members think suitable. The records must be open to inspection by the LLP members at all times.
If the LLP holds the records at a place outside of the UK, it must send accounts and returns with details of the business dealt with in the accounting records at least every six months and keep them in the UK. Those accounts and returns must disclose the financial position and enable the members to prepare accounts that comply with the requirements of the Companies Act, including where accounts are prepared using International Accounting Standards (IAS).
An LLP must keep its accounting records for 3 years from the date they were made.
The members of every LLP must prepare accounts for each of its financial years. These are individual accounts. A parent LLP must also prepare group accounts (but for parent LLPs defined as small this is optional).
A dormant subsidiary may be able to claim exemption from the preparation or filing of its accounts under certain circumstances.
And accounts must be accompanied by an auditor's report stating the name of the auditor and signed and dated by him (unless the LLP is exempt from audit).
An LLP's first accounts cover the period starting on the date of incorporation, not the first day of trading. They end on the accounting reference date or up to 7 days either side of that date.
Subsequent accounts start on the day after the previous accounts ended and finish on the accounting reference date, or up to 7 days either side of it.
For example, if a LLP is incorporated on the 6 April 2009 the accounts must cover the entire period of 6 April 2009 – 30 April 2010. Subsequent periods will start on 1 May each year and end on 30 April the following year.
This will not apply to certain dormant subsidiaries that are exempt from preparing accounts.
Members may agree internally that an LLP may send or supply documents, including accounts, by publishing them on their website.
The LLP members must approve the accounts and have them signed on their behalf by a designated member who must also print their name. The printed name and signature must be on the balance sheet, and any statement about the accounts being prepared under the small LLPs regime must appear above these.
If the LLP has to attach an auditor's report to the accounts, the report must include the auditor's signature and their name must be printed.
Where the auditor is a firm, the auditor's report must state the name of the auditor and the name of the person who signed it as senior statutory auditor on behalf of the firm.
There is no requirement for LLPs to use a professional accountant to prepare their accounts. However, members should be aware of their legal responsibilities regarding accounts and if they are uncertain about the requirements they may consider seeking professional advice.
The designated members (who are responsible for filing accounts at Companies House) can simply submit a copy of the accounts that have already been prepared for the members. However small and medium-sized LLPs may submit an abbreviated version of those accounts which has less detail by combining certain items. Qualifying dormant LLPs can deliver even simpler annual accounts to Companies House.
All LLPs must deliver accounts to Companies House. A dormant subsidiary may be able to claim exemption from the preparation or filing of its accounts under certain circumstances.
The accounts submitted to Companies House are in accordance with the Companies Act 2006 as applied to LLPs. You must still file with other regulatory bodies according to their requirements and filing deadlines.
The deadline for delivery to Companies House is calculated to the exact day. For example, an LLP incorporated on 1 January 2011 with an accounting reference date of 31 January has until midnight on 1 October 2012 (21 months from the date of incorporation) to deliver its accounts, not 31 October.
You can check the date Companies House expects your accounts to be delivered by using the WebCHeck service on Companies House website.
Unless you are filing the LLP's first accounts the time normally allowed for delivering accounts to Companies House is 9 months from the accounting reference date. This also applies to accounts prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 1985 or the Northern Ireland Order 1986 as applied to LLPs for the accounting periods starting on or after 6 April 2008.
Failure to deliver documents on time is a criminal offence. The designated members of the LLP risk prosecution. On conviction, a designated member could end up with a criminal record and a potentially unlimited fine for each offence. This is separate from the civil penalty imposed on the LLP for late filing of accounts.

Home/Christie Welsh Joins NY Surf As Assistant Technical Director And Academy Coach
Former WNT standout and Penn State All American to become part of NY Surf's leadership to develop next generation of metro New York's top players
NEW YORK, NY June 19, 2017 — New York Surf Soccer Club is pleased to welcome Long Island native and 2016 Long Island Soccer Player Hall of Fame inductee Christie Welsh as our Assistant Technical Director and Academy Coach of NY Surf.
"We are honored and humbled to have Christie join New York Surf. Her distinguished career has included incredible accomplishments and she is a true standout in U.S. women's soccer. Christie is one of the best female soccer players to have ever come out of Long Island and NY Surf is excited to be bringing her back to help develop the next generation of top players in New York. Christie is one of our region's most coveted up and coming coaches and adding her to our coaching leadership is another important milestone to building a 'player development first' soccer leadership team that is unmatched in our region," commented Matt Popoli, President of New York Surf.
Welsh, a native of Massapequa, is a Hermann Trophy winner, former U.S. National Team member, and was one of the most decorated players in Penn State and Big Ten Conference history. As a coach, Welsh served as an assistant coach in three USSF national camps with the U-14 Girls' National Team, U-15 Girls' National Team and was a part of the first ever Striker & Goalkeeper Training Camp held in December 2016. She has coached collegiately at Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia (2012 – 2013) and at the University of Oregon (2013 – 2015). Welsh began her coaching career as a volunteer assistant at Penn State (2004 – 06) while she was competing with the U.S. National Team. She also worked as a volunteer assistant at Wisconsin in 2011. Welsh has also coached extensively at the youth club level working with boys and girls of all ages.
"I am extremely excited to have the opportunity to join such a great group of coaches at NY Surf and give back to the New York soccer community that has done so much for my life and career," said Coach Welsh. "My focus as a coach has always been on player development and working with the community, which I will continue to do in my new roles at NY Surf," added Coach Welsh.
A member of the U.S. National Team from 2000 until 2008, Welsh tallied 20 goals over 39 international contests. An alternate for the 2000 Sydney Olympics, she was part of the 2004, 2006, and 2007 Olympic and World Cup training residencies. In 2005, Welsh helped the U.S. National Team capture the Algarve Cup, tallying a team-best five goals, including the game-winning goal in a 1-0 victory over Germany in the finals.
Welsh was the first Penn State player to earn NSCAA All-America honors in each of her four years, while leading her squad to four-straight Big Ten titles and two Final Four appearances from 1999-02. She was the first player in conference history to be named Big Ten Player of the Year three consecutive seasons. On the field, Welsh set the Big Ten's record for goals (82), assists (52) and points (216), with her career points mark still standing. She was recognized as the top collegiate player receiving both the Hermann Trophy and M.A.C. Player of the Year honors.
Following her collegiate career, Welsh was drafted second overall in the 2003 WUSA Draft by the New York Power. Leading her team in scoring, Welsh would go on to play internationally for KIF Orebro of Sweden's Top Division in 2004 and Olympique Lyonnaise of the French First Division in 2005.
Additionally, she helped the Washington Freedom to the 2005 W-League championship, and the NJ Wildcats to the 2007 title, garnering MVP honors along the way. Recently, she has played in the Women's Professional Soccer League, competing for both the LA Sol and St. Louis Athletica in 2009 and the Washington Freedom in 2010.
A native of Massapequa, N.Y., Welsh led Massapequa High School to the 1997 New York State Championship and earned Parade All-American honors twice. The 1998 Gatorade Circle of Champions National High School Girls' Soccer Player of the Year, she was named an NSCAA All-American as a senior.
Welsh currently holds an NSCAA National Diploma and a USSF F license.

Доходный дом Уткина — дом в центре Киева, возле железнодорожного вокзала. Архитектор Александр Вербицкий.

Описание
Двухэтажный особняк находился на берегу реки Лыбедь возле железнодорожного вокзала по старому адресу: улица Безаковская, 29 (ныне Улица Симона Петлюры). Домом владел купец 2-й гильдии Иван Яковлевич Уткин, занимавшийся продажей масляных красок.

Имел двухосевую композицию фасада, две боковые раскреповки, акцентированные аттиками. Фасад не был оштукатурен, имел кирпичный декор, ниши, дентикулы, карнизы, гзимсы, фризы, декорированные замковые камни накладывались лепными гипсовыми элементами. Со временем фасад потерял много декоративных элементов: вазы на аттиках, лепные картуши, украшавшие простенки между окнами второго этажа.

Дом построен из кирпича производства завода киевского купца Григория Саввича Ясько (Г. С. Ясько).

Снос

На начало 2021 года в помещении содержались офисы, которые постоянно функционировали и поддерживали дом и придомовую территорию в надлежащем (не аварийном) состоянии. После получения информации о планируемом сносе особняка и возведении на её месте жилого комплекса (апарт-отеля) на 26 этажей (заказчик — Zim Group, конечный бенефициар — А.А. Мацийчук) общественные активисты начали кампанию за сохранение этого исторического дома.

11 апреля 2021 года стало известно, что дом снесен. Лишь после начала демонтажных работ (полностью разобрана крыша и частично — второй этаж) было открыто уголовное дело в Прокуратуре города Киева по статье 356 УК Украины (самоуправство), однако разрушение памятника не прекратили.

На запросы общественных активистов пресс-служба владельца участка (компания «Приват») ответила, что им ничего не известно об охранном статусе здания и что «упоминавшаяся в СМИ название "дом Уткина" не имеет под собой никакого документального основания». Представители собственника ссылались на разрешительные документы от ГАСИ, которые ввиду «аварийного состояния» здания давали им право на его частичный демонтаж (до уровня фундамента) и «реконструкцию под гостиницу».
