The Isotopes of the Fukushima Disaster
in Cancer, Chemistry, Ecology, Featured 2
On March 11, 2011, a magnitude 8.9 earthquake struck the coast of Japan, causing the shutdown of 11 of Japan's nuclear power reactors, including reactors 1, 2, and 3 at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant. Shortly after the shutdown, the pressure within reactor 1 built up to twice that of normal levels. In an attempt to relieve pressure, steam-containing radiation was vented from the reactors. Over the next several days, the plant continued to have problems and the levels of radiation in the surrounding areas continued to rise.Shortly thereafter, Japanese officials formed a 10-kilometer (km) evacuation zone, which, over the next few days, was increased to 20 km, resulting in the relocation of close to 390,000 people.
Fukushima reactor following the tsunamis.
The Fukushima disaster released a number of radioactive isotopes into the atmosphere and the surrounding ocean. These included isotopes of iodine, cesium and xenon. Each of the isotopes listed below are a byproduct of the nuclear fission reactions that occur within a nuclear power plant. As the uranium in these plants breaks down, the uranium atoms release energy (such as gamma radiation) and particles (alpha and beta particles). This is called radioactive decay, and the loss of particles effectively transforms the original uranium atom into isotopes of another element. In many cases the resulting isotopes are also radioactive, and thus undergo additional radioactive decay.
Three of the more common isotopes released by the Fukushima disaster are listed below. These isotopes differ considerably in the types of radiation that they release, their half-lives, and their potential adverse effects on living organisms, such as humans.
Cesium-134 and Cesium-137
Perhaps the biggest concern following the Fukushima disaster was the release of radioactive cesium. Naturally, cesium (Cs) is a metal with an atomic number of 55 and an atomic mass of approximately 132.9. However, within a nuclear reactor two isotopes of cesium (Cs-134 and Cs-137) are formed. Cesium 134 and Cesium 137 have half lives of 2 years and 30 years, respectively. Both of these isotopes release both beta particles and gamma radiation as they decay. Both beta particles and gamma radiation have the ability to penetrate tissues and damage cells and their DNA. Exposure to beta particles and gamma radiation, either internally or externally, can cause burns and greatly increases the chances of cancer.
Following the Fukushima disaster there were significant concerns of Cs-137 entering the atmosphere and the Pacific Ocean. Because of the winds at the time, most of the Cs-137 was carried back over Japan, forcing evacuations up to 35 kilometers (22 miles) inland. Large regions of this evacuation zone still remain uninhabitable due to soil contamination by Cs-137. Small amounts of atmospheric Cs-137 were detected on the west coast of the United States, and some Cs-137 has been detected in the waters off the coast of California, but in neither case at levels that are considered hazardous to humans.
Iodine -131
Radioactive iodine, I-131, was also released by the reactors. Iodine is a water-soluble element that has an atomic number of 53 and an atomic mass of approximately 126.9. There are several forms of iodine isotopes, with I-131 being formed mainly by nuclear fission reactions. Like Cs-137, I-131 emits beta particles which may damage tissues. It also releases small amounts of gamma radiation.
Radioactive iodine only has a half life of about 8 days, so its long-term effect on the environment is minimal. In our bodies, iodine is mainly used by the thyroid gland to manufacture the thyroid hormones associated with metabolic functions, including overall metabolic rate. Intense exposure to I-131 may cause thyroid problems, including thyroid cancer. Interestingly, isotopes of iodine at low doses are used by the medical profession to diagnose problems with the thyroid gland.
Xenon-133
Xenon (Xe) is a noble gas with an atomic number of 54 and an atomic weight of 131.2. One isotope of xenon , Xe-133 has a half-life of only 5 days. Like I-131 and Cs-137, Xe-133 is emits beta particles which may damage tissue, but the short half-life of the isotope limits the chances of severe problems. Further reducing the risk is the fact that, as a noble gas, xenon does not react with other elements, and thus is not easily introduced into the chemical compounds within cells.
Like radioactive iodine,Xe-133 is used by the medical profession to diagnose disease. Since it is a gas, it is frequently used in the diagnosis of lung disorders. Studies are now underway to use Xe-133 as a form of treatment for certain types of lung cancer, since it easily enters the lungs and the emission of beta particles can help destroy lung cancer cells.

Review: Inertial Drift
Available on PC, PS4, Xbox, and Switch
This one was a blast to review. Inertial Drift, the newest release from Level 91 Entertainment, introduces a twin-stick control for drift racing that is innovative, challenging, and rewarding once mastered. While the left stick controls steering, the right stick gives you control of the rear of the vehicle, allowing you to initiate high speed drifts through a beautifully-designed collection of tracks set in a retro 90's future. The tracks are narrow, the turns are tight, and the sensation of speed is evident from the first start line. The collection of retro, Borderlands-esque vehicles all handle differently, providing a lot of replay-ability as you work to master each vehicle.
The tutorial is a great introduction to the steering mechanics, and you quickly realize that the left stick only provides fine tune steering. To complete each race, you will need to rely heavily on drifting for almost every turn. Early in the game you are informed that all cars have been equipped with a Phase Shift Impact Prevention System, which will prevent you from colliding with other vehicles. This being a racing game, I thought that was strange. However, this impact prevention technology is a necessity. The courses are narrow and challenging, and eliminating the potential for crashes allows you to focus on your line. While other racing games provide an optimal race line with brake indicators, there is no such thing in Inertial Drift. It is up to you to find the best line for each vehicle.
The story mode introduces you to a cast of four characters/vehicles to choose from, and you follow your driver as he/she prepares for the upcoming Grand Prix. The gameplay is streamlined: you start at a location and complete a series of 3 races to unlock the next track, rinse and repeat. There are seven different race types:
· Practice lets you familiarize yourself with the track. This is always available before jumping into events.
· Race is your standard 1 vs. 1 race against an opponent.
· Time Attack puts you alone on the course against the clock.
· Ghost Battle will put you 1 vs. 1 against a ghost vehicle driving that character's optimal line in a 3-lap race.
· Dual puts you head to head against a single opponent, the distance between you and your opponent fills the distance bar. Get far enough ahead, and you win.
· Endurance requires you to hit checkpoints before time runs out to add more time on the clock. Stay in the race for a certain amount of time to win.
· Style removes the necessity to finish first, and awards points based on your drifting abilities.
As you progress, challenges will become available where you can unlock additional vehicles. Once you complete the story mode,Grand Prix - a series of five race events to prove your mastery - is unlocked, as well as a harder difficulty mode called Xtra Crispy.
Unfortunately, story mode left me wanting more. There just isn't much there. Completion took about 3-4 hours and didn't include all of the game's available racetracks. Several are only available in the other game modes. While each character has a slightly different narrative, there isn't much character depth. Here is an example. During my first playthrough I chose Edward as my driver, a character who isn't really interested in racing, but just loves to drive. As I progressed through the story mode, I was waiting for a rival to appear. You know… someone that would talk a little trash and light a fire in Edward that would motivate him to win. But, to my surprise, every character was extremely supportive, motivating, and genuinely wanted each other to succeed. It was an almost annoyingly positive experience.
Aside from Story Mode and Grand Prix, the game offers a few other game modes.
· Challenge tasks you with completing objectives to unlock additional characters and vehicles.
· Arcade where you can create custom races and post your lap time to an online leaderboard.
· Splitscreen for local multiplayer.
· Online where you can play against others online.
There are a few aspects of the game that could be improved which became evident the more I played. During races, your opponent will often pop up on the screen and have little comments for you when you successfully navigate portions of the track. However, given the speed of the vehicle and the necessity to focus on upcoming turns, it was difficult at times to see what they were saying. Additionally, there is no mini map, so I found myself having to practice each track several times before I felt comfortable enough to start the next race. Not necessarily a bad thing, but I think I would have liked the ability to toggle a mini map on or off. Lastly, I was unable to ever find an opponent for an online match, which was a major letdown.
Final Grade: B+
This is a great arcade racing game that is worth adding to your collection. If you have played other popular racing games such as FORZA or Driveclub, you know that a huge focus is put on realism, requiring an almost singular devotion to that game to master the racing mechanics. To me, those games contain too much content. With huge open worlds and a cluttered map full of side quests and challenges, it is hard to know where to start. With Inertial Drift, all that bloat is removed, and you can truly focus on racing.
I'd recommend Inertial Drift to anyone who loves to pursue perfection. If you are driven in the pursuit of that perfect line and the lowest lap time, this is a game you will want to pick up. Hopefully there will be an Inertial Drift 2 that builds on the great foundation established here and expands on the disappointingly short story mode.


The probe by the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) said the wrong air temperature data is thought to have been inputted into the plane's flight management systems which meant it was slow to accelerate and lift off.
The Boeing 737, registered in Canada but flying on behalf of a UK tour operator, hit a light almost 30 metres from the end of the runway.
The flight to Corfu, which took off at around 3.40pm on July 21, had 179 passengers and six crew on board.
The AAIB yesterday put out a special bulletin on the flight, including safety recommendations.
Investigators said that "in slightly different circumstances, this event could have resulted in the loss of the aircraft with multiple fatalities".
They said had the plane taken off from a slightly shorter runway or encountered obstacles or had engine failure "with a decision by the commander to continue the take off", lives may have been lost.
Neither the aircraft commander, aircraft operator nor the tour operator reported the problem to the AAIB.
However, it was reported to the Transportation Safety Board in Canada by the aircraft operator.
Air traffic controllers at Belfast International Airport also made a report but the message was not seen until the following Monday because that particular system is only monitored during office hours.
Because of a 58-hour delay, the AAIB said "some sources of recorded data from the aircraft were unavailable".
"This has been detrimental to the investigation and may hinder the identification of all the safety issues," the report said.
Investigators found that the only way the incorrect thrust setting could have been programmed into the plane's computer system was for the outside air temperature to have been wrongly inputted.
The report said the plane's software was not up-to-date adding that if it had been, an external temperature sensor would have alerted crew members to the incorrect temperature entry and deleted it.
It suggested that all Boeing 737 Next Generation planes be updated with newer software.
It also recommended that all Boeing 737 operators be informed of the Belfast incident.

Q: Javascript : How to define an array of booleans with 60 elements in it In JavaScript : How do I define an array of booleans of a certain length without having to define manually, e.g. an array with 60 elements in it ?

A: var anArrayOfBooleansWith60ElementsInIt = [true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true,
true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true,
true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true,
true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true, true,
true, true, true, true, true, true, false];

A: JavaScript is loosely typed, so you can't really do that.  You can of course create a 60 element array.
https://developer.mozilla.org/en/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array
var a = new Array(60);

And then you could just fill it with false or something.
for (var i = 0; i < a.length; ++i) { a[i] = false; }

At a time when political, environmental and social gloom can seem overpowering, this remarkable work offers a lucid, affirmative and well-argued case for hope. Tracing a history of activism and social change over the past five decades - including the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Zapatista uprising in Mexico to Seattle in 1999, and the worldwide marches against the war in Iraq - Solnit proposes a vision of cause-and-effect relations that provides new grounds for political engagement. Solnit's book is accessible and essential reading. Drawing from thinkers of the last century - including Woolf, Ghandi, Borges, Benjamin and Havel. She creates a manifesto for optimism for the twenty-first century and gives us all true reasons to never surrender.

Jorge Rodriguez-Gerada, Forests, and Indigenous People in Focus at COP25 in Madrid
January 9, 2020 Artists
This story starts in Greenpoint, Brooklyn and ends in Madrid, Spain but its focus is global in nature.

With the earth at the center of the eye, Jorge Rodriguez-Gerada tells us that the first of two murals he painted for the recent COP 25 conferences is called "Forest Focus." As the world has been watching the largest forests of Australia burning this month, he clearly knows what we're all facing.
"With an image of the world as the iris," he says, "This mural has an artistic focal point that symbolizes the values set forth at the COP25 conference being held in Madrid."
The Cuban-born Street Artist, now based in Barcelona, was partnering with a public art program/platform called GreenPoint EARTH during the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) conference, or COP 25 to create two new street art pieces.
Well known for his "Terrestrial Series" of artworks spread over masses of land that are visible by planes flying overhead, Rodriguez-Gerada blends social and ecological themes seamlessly with sometimes profound results.
His second mural of the series is a portrait of Hilda Pérez, a person indigenous to Peru and the Vice President of the National Organization of Andean and Amazonian Indigenous Women of Peru (ONAMIAP). The team says she was chosen to represent indigenous people because their voices are frequently marginalized in discussions about ecology and climate change, despite occupying 25-50 percent of the Earth's land.
"We need to think of every tool in our toolkit because time is ultimately running out," said Greenpoint Innovations founder Stephen Donofrio at a panel discussion with the artist at the Action Hub Event during the COP25.
He was speaking about the pivotal role that Street Art has been able to fill in education, as well as his own interest in partnering with artists and other collaborators to raise awareness for a myriad of environmental issues. "That's why it's really important that Chile/Madrid COP25 has this really strong message that it's time for action."
With more plans to involve Street Artists around the world "to inspire climate action with positive messages about the interconnected themes of nature, people, and climate," Donofrio says he believes that the power of communication that Street Artists wield can be focused to make real, impactful change.
"The connectivity is really important in these projects to establish that we are dealing with globally challenging issues that boil down to a really local consequence."

Alex Serb
Principal Research Fellow, University of Southampton
Alexantrou Serb has graduated from Imperial college in 2009 as a biomedical engineer and later obtained his PhD from Imperial college in 2013 in electronics engineering. Since then he has been a research fellow in prof. Prodromakis' group, working on memristors technology characterisation and application development. His research interests include circuit design, computational neuroscience and biology-machine interfaces.
One of the greatest challenges of current research is how to embody the level of intelligence found in the brain into a physical computer that operates with the energy efficiency of the brain. To that end, algorithmics, computer architecture design, nanotechnology and ultimately also bio-interfacing must work together, as no isolated approach can deliver this vision. Throughout project FORTE this researcher will be involved in: 1) developing new applications enabled by enmeshing memristors into existing electronics technologies and 2) understanding how the availability of memristive technologies can unlock new capabilities in artificial intelligence systems.
The applications developed in this programme will span from simple, modular micro-circuits employing several memristors to larger scale systems utilising thousands of devices. Examples of the former would include reconfigurable logic (digital) and filter (analogue) blocks that can be aggregated into much larger computational systems much like Lego pieces can be used to construct complicated superstructures. Examples of the latter would include functional blocks that can carry out probabilistic inference, biosignal processing or neutral network-type inference.
The algorithmics part of the research is oriented towards the 'problem of multiplication': multiplication is expensive to perform accurately in hardware. Memristive technologies, however, offer an opportunity to implement not only multiplication, but other basic mathematical operations such as scalar matching in hardware at very low energy. Furthermore, reducing energy budgets for such operations opens the way towards more powerful, more intelligent AI.

Inflammatory markers consist a pivotal tool in clinical practice since they allow detection of acute inflammation that might be an indicator of specific diseases, or to enable signalizing the response of a patient to a specific medical treatment. However, the detection of an inflammation is still performed only in vitro, while the overall testing procedure requires a long waiting time for the clinical results that can be crucial for instance in a case of serious injuries in a contaminated environment or after a rejection of an organ transplant. Moreover, the status quo of the clinical practice does not take into consideration the aspect of continuous monitoring of the inflammatory markers.
My research interests include the development of disposable, implantable sensing devices that give the possibility to perform reliable and robust continuous, in-blood, sensing of critical inflammatory markers directly from the patient's body. I target to develop a flexible, low-cost, miniaturized sensing platform implementing memristive nanoscale devices as intelligent minimally invasive bio-interfaces, allowing reliable, continuous and real-time monitoring of inflammatory markers.

She is working towards the memristor-based analogue & mixed-signal integrated circuit (IC) design. In neural recording system, we intend to design a front-end system outputting directly a digital, back-end processed waveform corresponding to neural spikes and demonstrate extremely low power dissipation in the process. The front-end contains an integrating amplifier and a dynamic latch comparator (DLC). Instead of purely amplifying the minute signal, we opt for integrating the micron-volt level signal. The integration process not only filters out noise, but also provides amplification. With memristors implanted along the differential current path, the offset can be tuneable precisely, making the systems operate with power efficiency and high precision.

Q: Django rest-auth Token authentication I'm trying to use axios to get information from the /rest-auth/user/ page. This is my function:
export const fetchUser = () => {
  const token = localStorage.getItem('token');
  return dispatch => {
    dispatch(fetchUserPending());
    axios.get('http://localhost:8000/api/v1/rest-auth/user/', {headers: { 'authorization': `Bearer ${token}`}})
      .then(response => {
        const user = response.data;
        dispatch(fetchUserFulfilled(user));
      })
      .catch(err => {
        dispatch(fetchUserRejected(err));
      })
  }
}

It uses the django token I get from login, that is stored in localStorage. I get error status 403, authentication credentials were not provided. I've tried editing my django settings.py file to include
REST_FRAMEWORK = {
   'DEFAULT_AUTHENTICATION_CLASSES': [
       'rest_framework.authentication.TokenAuthentication',
   ],
}

and then I get error code 401 unauthorized. Can anyone direct me in the right direction? Thanks!

A: By default rest_framework.authentication.TokenAuthentication uses the keyword Token instead of Bearer. The call should be:
axios.get('http://localhost:8000/api/v1/rest-auth/user/', {headers: { 'Authorization': `Token ${token}`}})


"Well I feel like one when I read that".
Issue 10 of Article is out now and includes a few pages on the recent text-based murals I've been painting around town. There's 1,000 copies and they're F.O.C so you don't even need to shoplift to get yer sen one.
Following on from the Halloween shenanigans of blood oaths, skulls and smashing pumpkins (literally of course, we played black metal not Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness) Silver & Black is the third exhibition I've curated for Sheffield's Archipelago Works.
The show includes exclusive prints by myself / Build / Cat Johnston / The Designers Republic / Dust / Emily Forgot / Ian Stevenson / Kiosk / Martin Bedford / Phlegm / Robin Beck / She One / Susie Wright / Sylvia Ugga / TADO / Tokyo Jo / Tom J. Newell and runs until Jan 10th.
Some artists have used the silver to represent Sheffield's "knife & fork town" heritage, some have created shiny visions of the future, some more abstract and others are just plain dumb. Whatev's, they're all SILVER and BLACK and have been screen-printed in-house by BMX wizard, Josh Bedford. Each print is exclusive to an edition of 20 and they're all priced at £60. Word.
Playlist on the night included Black Lace, Silver Apples, Black Sabbath, Silver Machine, Back In Black, the Boon theme tune and Black Betty. Thank you to all the artists for contributing towards this show and thank you to everyone for showing up at the private view.
Here's some shots of my print being made. South Yorks represent.
Earlier this year I was approached by Urbis to help research and curate an exhibition plotting the history of UK Hip-Hop. Despite the infinite scale of this mammoth task and the lack of time and funding, I couldn't say no! I've been a fan of UK Hip-Hop ever since I discovered Son of Noise, Gunshot and Shakka Shazam.
I worked alongside Andy Brydon, their in-house curator (responsible for previous shows such as Factory Records, UK Punk and The Black Panthers) and James McNally – UK Hip-Hop's answer to Norris McWhirter, having written for Hip-Hop Connection for many years as well as being the proud owner of both an obscene record collection and a photographic memory.
Basically, they did all the hard work while I rang round everyone I could think of to ask for contributions in between reminiscing about the likes of Bridlington '89, Bad Meaning Good, Barton Hill, Bushkilla and Barry Blue.
On top of the official thank you list from Urbis, I'd like to give extra thanks to: Peter & Paul, Jehst, Junior Disprol, EH?, Mikey Don, Benji Reid, James Lebens, Clare Tavernor, Kilo, Aroe, Steam 156, Will Robson Scott, Alex Fakso, Huw 72, Benjamin Hatton, Tek33, Part 2, Damian Harris, Trevor Jackson, Dan Larkin, Son Records, Juice Aleem, Zach Turner, Rob Fever, Ben Harris, Felix Braun, Charlie Dark, Dan Greenpeace and DJ Yess for all their hard work and for really coming through on this one. Thanks Guys!
Thanks to Shaun Bloodworth and Dan Sumption for the photos once again.
You say "utopia" I say "euphoria" – what a muddle head! I'm making a habit of saying stupid things in The Guardian. Last time my quote found it's way into Private Eye. Oh well. At least they spelled my name right.
A refreshingly DIY art gallery in the Cultural Industries Quarter – showcasing some of the UK's most prestigious illustrators, designers and graphic artists alongside the rising talents from South Yorkshire to Shoreditch. Equipped with in-house screen printing facilities run by resident printer and BMX wizard, Josh Bedford.
Similar to Manchester's Corner House and The Broadway in Nottingham, The Showroom is responsible for screening an absolute shed load of independent cinema. This is also home to the annual Doc Fest and if nothing else, I'd like to thank them for introducing me to the world of Werner Herzog many years ago.
Probably the best coffee in town. Depending on your preference of lactating mothers, some times of the day are better than others (if that's your thing – you'll find an abundance of them at Blue Moon cafe in town).
Aside from hosting my album launch and various Invisible Spies nights, the Shakespeare have brought legends such as Silver Apples and Bob Log lll to Sheffield for all to enjoy. Better when there's a gig night as it's a little out the way for a pint, but if you are down that way – make a pub crawl out of it and visit The Riverside, Kelham Island and Fat Cat too. Word.
No exhibitions, atmospheric lighting or even music for that matter. Just a no nonsense boozer frequented by Time Team, serving exceptional beers and ales from around the world. And most of which are under £2 a pint. Wallop.
Arguably the greatest fish and chips in Sheffield. They now even have Green Steps a stones throw away, which serves organic and vegetarian options for the more fussy/ conscious among you.
If you're into chickens, piglets, goats, deer, rabbits, owls and sheep – you really should pay this place a visit. It's ace. Slightly smaller and closer to town is Heeley City Farm, which is also worth a gander.
All the best places to eat are on London Road. You'll find amazing examples of Caribbean, Thai, Japanese and Turkish, but for an enormous bowl of soup / plate of food for just £6 you really can't go wrong. You also get free ice cream for afters.
I held my 30th here (where Ragga Twins played an entire old school set!). It's a dope little venue and when it's rammed full of Sheffield's 12 Hour Party People, it's a bloody riot.
A general misconception is that you only go to Pitsmoor to buy crack or get shot – you also go here to eat great food. You'll find an excellent variety of dishes from all around the world, but as far as curry houses go, Mangla is the don. I preferred it when it was just a room full of tables and chairs, but they've tarted it up to look like a proper restaurant now. Bring your own beer from the East House or offie over the road. Either way, it's a bad boy dinner for not much money.
Park Hill is one mampi size council estate. It's synonymous with Sheffield and is the largest Grade ll listed building in Europe. It was constructed in the late 1950's with a utopian "streets in the sky" vision, but in recent years became more like the Bronx back in the 80's. I always think of that scene out of La Haine when I think of Park Hill. Not sure why. It's currently being redeveloped by Urban Splash in partnership with English Heritage as part of a ten year program to reinstate that initial 50's vision with a 21st century donk on it. I did these paintings up there last week. The backgrounds are purple for all the Warp fans out there as they held part of their 20th anniversary celebrations on site at the weekend. Thought it'd be a nice touch. There are so many huge walls (that are not part of the listing) just crying out to be painted… Mmm smooth concrete.
To coincide with the 7 Styles… exhibition, Archipelago launched this series of exclusive prints by myself, Sweet Toof, Dscreet, Infinite Livez, Russell Maurice, Pinky & Cept. Each design is a 3 colour hand-pulled screen print on 250gsm recycled stock and limited to a run of 30. What's more, they've all been graced by the fair hands of Josh Bedford – their in-house printer, who's also pretty snazzy at Bicycle Motor X. You can buy the prints direct from here. Word.


If you set up your own business, then you'll probably have to deal with corporation tax. Usually, your accountant will be the person dealing with this, but as a business owner you should understand what corporation tax is and how much your company will be liable to pay.
What is corporation tax & who has to pay it?
That pretty much sums it up in a nutshell. Although, working out how much corporation tax your company should pay is a whole different ballpark.
How much corporation tax do you have to pay?
The key term in HMRC's definition of corporation tax is "taxable profits" and there's a lot of confusion about what this consists of. You need to calculate your taxable profits in order to work out how much corporation tax your business will need to pay.
Simplified, taxable profits usually consist of trading profits and capital gains. The term 'trading profits' refers to the revenue you've generated through trading; the taxable part is the bit left over after you've deducted costs, such as raw materials, staff wages etc. 'Capital gains' refers to any money you've made through selling company assets, which hasn't been reinvested. There are also other types of taxable profit, such as revenue that has been generated through interest, or other forms of income.
Corporation tax rates apply to profit generated over a fixed period, usually an accounting period that coincides with the financial year (1st of April to the 31st of March). If your accounting period doesn't coincide with the financial year, then it gets a bit trickier. You'll have to work out your company's taxable profits over a proportional period in the two financial years.
To work out how much corporation tax your company owes, you'll need to calculate your taxable profits and apply the relevant tax rate (it'll change year on year) then take away any tax credits or other taxes that have already been paid. Et voila, you have the amount of corporation tax that needs to be paid.
How do you pay corporation tax?
First of all, you have to tell HMRC that your company is liable to corporation tax. Unlike some other taxes, the payment deadlines and the deadlines for filing are different. You have nine months after your company's accounting period to pay corporation tax and 12 months after the accounting year to file your Company Tax Return. The Company Tax Return and payment must be submitted to the HMRC online.
Unlike some other taxes, it's up to your company to work out corporation tax rather than HMRC. For this reason, many companies and start-ups use accountants or tax advisors to calculate and handle the payment of corporation tax.

So this post comes from a dove with a message that would prove to be more useful to people who are planning to be in Bengaluru on 12th-13th October, 2013. Reason?
We had posted sometime back about Mrs. Lavanyaa K.R. and her amazing story which led to the birth of Varnanggall. So for the first time, this lady is planning to connect to her audience on a real platform, a turn from the virtual platform. Is it because of the astonishing response from her customers or is it to satisfy all the online fans by giving them an opportunity to get a feel of all the colourful, eye-catching art-pieces? Only Lavanyaa would be having the answers to that.
You may ask why we at Startoholics are focusing on this and are back with another post highlighting this exhibition. Here are few things that might explain why we found this interesting.
Aalapana, as is the name of the exhibition, in Sanskrit language means "to speak, address, discourse, communicate." The artist plans to let her work communicate and speak through the language of colour, designs and beautiful works of art. She emphasizes on bringing together a range of materials from all around India which includes West Bengal's bright cotton, Andhra Pradesh's cotton silk and Madhya Pradesh's Chanderi.
Another thing that caught our attention was the inclusion of Kalamkari art in their work. In collaboration with very talented women who never got a formal training (but mastered it all through observation!) in this art form, the artist has taken the opportunity to exhibit their vented frustrations that was channeled into this art.

What I Learned From Sergio Aragonés: An Appreciation By Jorge Gutierrez
By Jorge Gutierrez | 09/06/2017 12:31 pm | 7 Comments
Happy 80th birthday, Sergio Aragonés!
Mighty mustached maestro Sergio Aragonés taught me, and perhaps most of my generation, the importance of a clear, fast read in a funny cartoon drawing – and the universal power of no dialogue!
Sure – appeal, construction, line of action, etc. are all important, but they mean nothing without clarity, which is something Sergio mastered and makes look so effortless.
Paperback collections of Aragonés' work for "MAD."
He studied architecture in Mexico City and didn't speak English very well when he came to the United States from Mexico (and prior to that Spain, where his family escaped Franco's dictatorship) so he spoke to the MAD Magazine editors with his wordless drawings. And this "voice" has been beautiful and hilarious ever since. Like many immigrants, he turned his weakness into his strength, and his countless books and MAD cartoons have traveled the world and found an international audience because of this.
Sergio Aragonés' long-running comic creation "Groo the Wanderer."
But perhaps the biggest lesson he taught me was how humble and noble he was with his fans, both young and old, at any of his signings. Hearing his words meant the world to many young aspiring artists, like this little chubby Tijuana kid at the San Diego Comic Con that Aragonés went out of his way to give advice and encouragement.
To see my hero review my little kid drawing and hear him say, "Keep drawing as much as you can and you just might make it" was life changing. Like many before and after me, I am a cartoonist because of Sergio Aragonés.
Below is the story of how I first met him:
Sergio Aragonés and Jorge Gutierrez at a comic festival recently held in Queretaro, Mexico.

A total of 15 National 12s took part in the 2002 Midwinter Championship at Royal Harwich Yacht Club on the 17 February.
The day started off both frosty and foggy but by the time Race officer Chris Brown had briefed the fleet, the sun had emerged and the frost had disappeared. Chris Brown set a one-lap windward/leeward course for race one. After an indifferent start it was Chris Mayhew crewed by Charlotte Ibbotson (N3443) who sped through the fleet to lead at the windward mark closely followed by Antony Gifford and Katy Meadowcroft (N3447). However, the foul tide-run changed things with Jon Brown and Guy Johnson tucking right into the shore and overtaking almost the whole fleet, Antony Gifford and Katy Meadowcroft gybed out to cover them and made it to the leeward mark just in front.

Former Senate president Don Gaetz takes aim at Sen. Jack Latvala in rare rebuke
TALLAHASSEE — The personal and political conflicts that have divided Florida Senate Republicans for months reached the boiling point Wednesday as the Senate narrowly approved a redrawn redistricting map 22-18 and two powerful senators used the opportunity to point at each other for the chamber's mistakes.
Democrats united against the map, predicting it would be struck down by the court as a violation of the anti-gerrymandering rules of the Florida Constitution. They were joined by Sen. Jack Latvala, R-Clearwater, and three other Republicans.
The vote came halfway through the three-week special session the Legislature called to redraw the Senate map after agreeing in July that it had violated the constitutional Fair Districts standards when approving the redistricting map in 2012.
The map now moves to the Florida House, where the House Redistricting Committee is scheduled to meet Monday to review the Senate map and a map submitted late Tuesday by the redistricting challengers.
House Redistricting Committee Chair Jose Oliva, R-Miami Lakes said that while there were good elements to the Senate plan, he also feared that changes to three Miami-Dade districts raise questions about incumbency protection.
The amendment approved on a voice vote by the full Senate was sponsored by Sen. Alex Diaz de la Portilla, R-Coral Gables. It separates him from the same district he was drawn into with Sen. Anitere Flores, R-Miami. It strengthens the election chances of former Sen. Alex Diaz de la Portilla, who is considering running to replace his brother. And it puts Sen. Gwen Margolis, D-Coconut Grove, into the African American district currently held by Sen. Dwight Bullard.
"I've got real concerns about all of that," Oliva told the Times/Herald Wednesday.
But while the vote shows the Senate could muster the support to pass a map, it also laid bare the anger that has divided senators in the midst of a tense leadership fight for the 2016 Senate presidency between Latvala and Sen. Joe Negron, R-Stuart.
After a tense debate over the map, emotions spilled into view as Sen. Don Gaetz, R-Niceville, who was redistricting chairman when the invalidated 2012 maps were approved, rose for a rare "point of personal privilege," a rule that prevails over all others. He set out to criticize Latvala for publicly blaming Gaetz for the Legislature's having to redo the Senate map.
"When a bully throws a sucker punch, you hit back and never give in,'' he told his colleagues.
Over the last two months, Latvala has been critical of Senate leadership because of the court's rejection of the map drawn during the 2012 term, pointing out a Times/Herald report that the taxpayer cost of the redistricting litigation has risen to $11 million and claiming that Gaetz was "the cause of the hot mess that we find ourselves in."
Gaetz is backing Negron for the Senate presidency.
"There's a lot of doubt whether we here in this Senate have handled this issue in a way that we can be proud of," Latvala said Wednesday without naming Gaetz.
The comments did not sit well with Gaetz, a former Senate president. He distributed a copy of the complaint filed by the redistricting challengers, which detailed Latvala's role in an amendment to the 2012 Senate redistricting map that removed Sen. Denise Grimsley, then a House member, from the same district as Sen. Bill Galvano, who was not yet elected to the Senate.
The change, the plaintiffs alleged, was an example of the intent to favor a political party or incumbent.
"Sen. Latvala says Don Gaetz is the cause for the special session. You decide. I am sorry for my mistakes. Sen. Latvala should be sorry for his," he said.
Latvala had left the chamber after the vote and Gaetz asked the Senate sergeant at arms to find him so he could hear the admonition.
Gaetz admitted that he had made mistakes as head of the Senate's redistricting effort, including not putting political operatives under oath when they appeared before his committee claiming they were unaligned members of the public.
The 17-minute tirade was followed by a stern warning from Senate President Andy Gardiner not "to keep this going."
But it was too much for Sen. Alan Hays, R-Umatilla, a Latvala ally, who rose to rebuke Gaetz.
He said it was "beneath the dignity of this chamber" for Gaetz to "label another member as a bully."
Latvala said he did not hear Gaetz's remarks but considered them inappropriate.
"It seems now Sen. Gaetz is trying to deflect some of the blame for this whole fiasco," Latvala told the Times/Herald while driving to an event in Clearwater. "That is a guy who doesn't want to take responsibility for his actions."
Latvala defended the changes made to Grimsley's district and accused Gaetz of using the redistricting process in 2012 to punish Grimsley, who was then chair of the House Appropriations Committee.
"She had irritated Gaetz a time or two," he said. "If my political activity is undoing his political activity then so be it."
The exchange discouraged many in the Senate.
"We're at one of the lowest points I can ever recall," said Sen. Tom Lee, R-Brandon, a former Senate president. "We've got a lot of healing to do."
During the tense debate over the Senate maps, Lee was noticeably absent. He had blasted the map last week as a "defiant" answer to the court's rebuke of the Legislature. He told the Times/Herald Tuesday that he believed the redistricting drama that had marred the Senate map would be played out in court and he would be a willing witness for the plaintiffs.
But when it came for a vote, Lee joined with the majority, later explaining he was "supporting it on a coin toss" to move it to the House.
"I'm tired of the B.S.," he said. "I've said plenty. My views haven't changed."
Gardiner said he hopes the next few days will help to cool emotions.
"Emotions obviously are running pretty high," he said. "We'll be back next week and see what happens."

Now, Sotto hints JFK a plagiarist
By: Cathy Yamsuan - Reporter / @KatyYam
Philippine Daily Inquirer / 12:01 AM November 17, 2012
If I fall, you're going down with me.
Senate Majority Leader Vicente Sotto III had to drag the dead in an effort to win an argument, calling attention to a news article insinuating that John F. Kennedy plagiarized an oft-quoted portion of his 1961 inaugural speech.
Sotto sent the Inquirer a text message bearing a link to the website www.dailymail.co.uk that when clicked would direct the reader to a story by Daniel Bates alleging that the slain US president lifted the quote "Ask not what the country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country" from his former headmaster in Choate, a boarding and day school in Wallingford, Connecticut.
The revelation is supposedly a detail from "Jack Kennedy: Elusive Hero," the most recently released biography of probably the most popular chief executive in US history.
NEWSINFO
It is not difficult to guess what prompted Sotto to direct attention to the story.
The senator is accused of lifting quotes from a 1966 speech of the US president's late brother, Sen. Robert Kennedy, translating these into Filipino and passing them off as his own in a speech delivered in September.
Sotto is facing an ethics complaint filed by a group of academicians who also accused the senator of lifting quotes from four US-based bloggers, twisting these to support his argument against the reproductive health (RH) bill and failing to properly credit them when he delivered three speeches in August and September against the measure.

At the Summit on Family Planning in the Business Sector on Thursday, former Foreign Secretary Roberto Romulo used the President Kennedy quote in his welcome remarks.
Quoted, not copied
"I think it would be appropriate to give you a quote—I assure you it's a quote, I'm not plagiarizing—from John F. Kennedy who said, 'Ask not what the country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country,'" Romulo said.
He added, "I think this sums up what you can do for the country."
Many interpreted Romulo's effort to stress that he was quoting President Kennedy as an indirect attack against Sotto.
The website report said "Jack Kennedy: Elusive Hero," penned by US author Chris Matthews, "claims the line originally came from George St. John… one of the president's former headmasters at the Choate School in Connecticut."
It added that Matthews "unearthed" notes written by St. John, "which suggest he had been aware of the 'ask not' line for many years."
"The book also includes a reply to a questionnaire about JFK's (Kennedy's initials) time at the school, sent to his former classmates when he was president. One of the students wrote, 'I boil every time I read or hear the Ask not… exhortation as being original with Jack,'" the report said.
"Time and time again we all heard [the headmaster] say that to the whole Choate family," one source in the book was also quoted as saying.
Kennedy's 14-minute speech, delivered at his inauguration on Capitol Hill on Jan. 20, 1961, is often included in compilations of the best speeches ever delivered.
The website report predicted that Matthews' "extraordinary revelation is sure to raise eyebrows among historians," once it is released.
It added that Kennedy's speech writer Theodore C. Sorensen "has long been thought" as the source of the popular quote.

Home Print Edition Archive January/February 2014 Issue BAML vies with US rivals for €650m Accor refinancing
BAML vies with US rivals for €650m Accor refinancing
REC staff
US investment banks including Bank of America Merrill Lynch are among those bidding on the refinancing of a portfolio of 86 Accor hotels. Owners London & Regional – along with US REIT IStar, Accor and Moor Park Capital Partners, which also hold stakes in the portfolio – are looking for about €500m of senior debt and a further €100m-150m of mezzanine debt, making it one of, if not the largest, refinancings in the market. Initial proposals for what has been dubbed Project New Day were due in early January. It is thought that one or two lenders could potentially take the entire €450m-500m senior lending ticket and then sell it down.
The portfolio was sold in June 2007 for €863m and comprises 86 hotels: 67 in Germany and 19 in the Netherlands. "Accor is a good name," observed one banker. Yet the borrowers are "looking to refinance debt which is north of €650m", said another lender. They are not willing to put a huge amount of equity in, he added. BAML's forerunner, Merrill Lynch, originally financed the transaction in 2007, along with Société Générale. The deal was restructured in 2009, when the gross transaction size reduced to €766m, including €100m of equity. That debt is coming up for refinancing in June, otherwise it faces default. Société Générale and the German banks that are in the current financing are not extending the debt, but are "waiting to be repaid", according to the lender.
"The difficulty generally is that it's pan-European, so senior pricing would be in the 300bps region and the term is likely to be three years plus one, plus one," he added. Eastdil Secured is running the 'interactive' financing process for Project New Day, under which it discusses offer levels with the borrowers and the borrowers make a decision in terms of which institution to go forward with. That is expected to happen in the next month. The borrowers are thought to have approached Deutsche Bank last year on this transaction – which remains part of the process – before appointing Eastdil.
Project New Day also requires €100m-150m of mezzanine debt. Pramerica is one of those that has expressed interest in supplying this. The original transaction was led by Moor Park Capital, which had a base case of selling the 12,000-room portfolio after five years in 2012 at an exit yield of 6%. This was to be after a €93m capital expenditure programme on 48 of the hotels to increase the revenue-linked rents.
Accor took new 12-year leases as part of the sale and leaseback at around 18% of annual revenues. Investment banks are expecting to be more active in European real estate this year. JPMorgan and BAML are said to be recruiting heads of real estate finance and both Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley intend to do more business. Deutsche Bank is already very active. "They think debt markets have taken a turn, because values have taken a turn," said one debt structuring expert.
