RECORDS: Cal 5-2, 2-2 Pac-12; USC 4-3, 2-2.
KICKOFF: Saturday, noon at Memorial Stadium in Berkeley.
SERIES HISTORY: USC leads 67-30-5. USC has won the past 11 meetings since a 34-31 triple-overtime Cal victory in 2003. Since 1959, Cal is 10-44-2 against the Trojans.
STORYLINES: This is designated as the annual Joe Roth Memorial Game in memory of the former All-America quarterback who died of cancer in 1977, shortly after his senior season. … Cal is trying to snap a two-game losing streak after opening the season 5-0. … Running back Daniel Lasco, who barely has played the past five games because of a hip injury, is expected to be full speed. … Among new members of Cal's Athletic Hall of Fame who will be introduced at halftime is Brian Treggs, whose 167 career receptions recently were eclipsed by his son, Bryce, who now has 170 to rank No. 5 on the school's all-time list.
INJURY UPDATE: Cal: RB Daniel Lasco (hip), OT Brian Farley (ankle) and Saf Stefan McClure (shoulder) will play; LB Michael Barton (knee) is out. USC: DL Rasheem Green (knee), Saf Marvell Tell III (clavicle) and TE Taylor McNamara (shoulder) are questionable; C Toa Lobendahn (knee) is out.
MATCHUP TO WATCH: Cal cornerbacks Darius White and Darius Allensworth vs. USC wide receivers JuJu Smith-Schuster and Adoree Jackson. Smith-Schuster has 47 catches for a league-leading 901 yards and eight touchdowns, and the versatile Jackson, who also starts at corner and returns kicks, has 776 all-purpose yards.
STATS THAT MATTER: Two of the nation's elite quarterbacks will duel in this one. Cal's Jared Goff needs 254 passing yards to become the 14th quarterback in Pac-12 history to reach 10,000 for his career. USC senior Cody Kessler is 115 yards shy of 9,000. Kessler has 77 touchdown passes, Goff 73. … Cal has won its past six games played on Halloween, unbeaten on Oct. 31 since 1964. Included in that run was a 13-10 road win over USC in 1970. … Surprisingly, Cal ranks just ninth the Pac-12 in scoring (28.0) in conference games.


"Meta-Analysis comparing outcomes and need for renal replacement therap" by Waqas Javed Siddiqui, Chikezie Alvarez et al.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is commonly associated with aortic valve replacement. Surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) is a known risk factor for AKI but little is known about the short- and long-term effects of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). The purpose of our analysis is to identify the short- and long-term effect of TAVI on renal out-comes. We searched Medline and PUB MED from January 1, 2000 to November 6, 2017for randomized control trials (RCTs) comparing TAVI to SAVR in patients with severe aortic stenosis. Three hundred sixty-nine trials were identified, 6 RCTs were included in our analysis. RevMan version 5.3 was used for statistical analysis. Heterogeneity is calculated using I2statistics. Primary outcomes were AKI within 30 days and 1 year of TAVI, and requirement for renal replacement therapy. We included 5,536 patients (2,796 inTAVI and 2,740 in SAVR arm) from 6 RCTs. Baseline characteristics were similar. There was reduced incidence of AKI at 30 days of TAVI compared with SAVR, 57 versus 133(odds ratio [OR] 0.40, confidence interval [CI] 0.28 to 0.56, p <0.00001, I2= 7%) with no difference at 1 year (OR 0.65, CI 0.32 to 1.32, p = 0.23, I2= 76%) and need for renal replacement therapy OR 0.95, CI 0.50 to 1.80, p = 0.87, I2= 0%). The permanent pacemaker was more frequent in the TAVI arm compared with SAVR arm, 379 versus 110, (OR 3.75, CI 1.67 to 8.42, p = 0.001, I2= 89%). In conclusion, TAVI is associated with a reduction inAKIs at 30 days despite the exposure to contrast and a higher incidence of new permanent pacemaker placement.

The Last Speakers: K. David Harrison & the Quest to Save Endangered Languages

In The Last Speakers – part travelogue and part linguist's notebook – K. David Harrison urges readers to consider the consequences of language loss around the world and to realize what we can do to help reverse it.
"What hubris allows us, cocooned comfortably in our cyber-world, to think we have nothing to learn from people who a generation ago were hunter-gatherers? What they know–which we've forgotten or never knew–may someday save us."
–K. David Harrison
OFTENTIMES I'VE WONDERED how the Americas would've evolved if it were somebody else besides Columbus who landed here.
I've always been fascinated by those ultra rare examples of men (and women) who, for a brief window in the 18th and 19th centuries, didn't come as conquerors (see John Bartram, Lewis and Clark), and were able to travel, visit, and live among native peoples in a way that had never happened before or since.
There's a danger in these kinds of musings however. They can lead to thinking in terms of people and culture in past tense, the kind of thinking that goes: well they ran off the Cherokee and now we have subdivisions named after them. Meanwhile, at ground level, the descendants of those conquered people (whatever of them still exist) continue struggling somewhere.
Reading The Last Speakers, it wasn't so much the chronicles of reaching super isolated communities in Asia or South America, nor the folktales and actual words recorded; what really moved me was the powerful reminder that conquest and decimation of cultures and languages around the world continues right now, most likely right in your hometown without your even knowing it.
Harrison, a National Geographic Society fellow and co-star of the Sundance documentary film The Linguists, writes, "we live at a time when we can still hear their [vanishing cultures'] voices, albeit muted, sharing knowledge in 7,000 different ways of speaking."
Over the last couple months, Dr. Harrison and I corresponded via email about The Last Speakers and also his current National Geographic expeditions. In the weeks ahead, Matador will be publishing photos and field reports from his latest expeditions to Language Hotspots, or areas with a high concentration of endangered languages.
[DM] How was this latest expedition? Where did you go? What was the objective?
[KDH] We were continuing our documentation of Koro, a language that is new to science and which we first began working on in Feb. 2008. We realized then that Koro was something special, not merely a dialect of other nearby languages as had been claimed in the scientific literature.
Our work establishes Koro as a distinct language. As we document Koro and make recordings of the speakers (numbering only about 600, and few under age 20) we are finding many rich areas of knowledge. On this most recent trip I conducted walks in the jungle with speakers and had them tell about names and uses for medicinal plants [see video at right]. The knowledge base is very impressive, and it is eroding. I've put up some videos of this on our new Enduring voices YouTube channel.
Throughout The Last Speakers are friendly but persistent prompts that seem aimed at researchers to continue work at various places you
visited. Did you write this book with other linguists in mind? Who is this book for?
This book is for the general public who, I have found, cares deeply about cultural survival and language extinction, but has not been informed about the latter issue. People are still surprised to hear the term "endangered language", but they are concerned once they hear what's going on, what we are losing. I'm getting lots of emails from people who never had any previous exposure to linguistics, saying how it inspired them to learn more.
It is also written as a way to assist some of the indigenous communities in making their stories and views known to a broader audience. Most of the languages I do fieldwork on have never before been heard outside of a very small area/population where they are spoken. So it's a humbling opportunity to have this knowledge shared with us on the research team, and with readers.

What role can those of us without training as linguists (but just as new media professionals perhaps, or writers) play in language preservation?
Everyone can contribute to a world that is safer for linguistic diversity, in part by simply taking an interest in it.
Whenever I lecture to audiences in the US, I ask if they know what the local indigenous language is. most audiences do not. So I use the moment to talk about Lenape (Pennsylvania), Ojibwe (Michigan) etc. and to say that not only are these languages still spoken right here in these places, but they are struggling to survive or revitalize and we can all assist. It's partly for that reason I co-founded the non-profit Living Tongues Institute, and we initiated the joint project with National Geographic.
Your story makes being a linguist seem like a rewarding career path for those whose passions intersect language, travel, writing, and to some degree, audio and recording. I also realize that your story is probably exceptional compared to many other linguists. How much do most linguists really get out in the field? Is linguistics growing in popularity as a field? Do you have any recommendations for people interested in pursuing it?

I love my job, I get to go to the most remote places all around the world and meet people who are linguistic survivors. They have been incredibly generous in sharing some of their wisdom with me, and I am honored to have the opportunity to record and pass it on.
Linguists have always done this kind of work, though for quite a few years it was not the usual pathway to a successful academic career.
More and more linguists are now eager to do this work, and universities are beginning to value it more in the hiring process. Anyone can get started by taking an intro course in Linguistics or Anthropology. These are sciences, and you do need some basic tools and training.
My favorite parts of The Last Speakers are the examples of how languages "animate" local terrain and reflect one's relationship with
his / her home ground, for example the Tuvan word iy :
Languages animate objects by giving them names, making them noticeable when we might not otherwise be aware of them. Tuvan has a word iy (pronounced like the letter e ) which indicates the short side of a hill. I had never noticed that hills had a short side. But once I learned the word, I began to study the contours of hills, trying to identify the iy. It turns out that hills are asymmetrical, never perfectly conical, and indeed one of their sides tends to be steeper and shorter than the others. If you are riding a horse, carrying firewood, or herding goats on foot, this is a highly salient concept. You never want to mount a hill from the iy side, as it takes more energy to ascend, and an iy descent is more treacherous as well. Once you know about the iy, you see it in every hill and identify it automatically. . .
As a surfer and kayaker, I've grown up on vernacular created around specific features of the water / terrain. Sometimes out there on the water your life and others' depends on this language. What other examples are there, like 'iy' that describe landforms or features, or ways of interacting with the local environment?
Languages encode geography. People adapt to local landscapes and languages encode this adaptation, whether to talk about wind directions, terrain slope, acoustic properties of different environments, or river current (as in Tuvan). I'd like to refer to you chapter 4 in my book When Languages Die:
Kösh : Basic unit of distance among the Tofa [native peoples of Siberia]. Denotes "how far one could ride in a day on reindeer back. European observers misunderstood this to be a unit of distance, about 25 kilometers. But for people inhabiting mountainous terrain such as the Tofa, or the Sherpa of Nepal, units of linear distance have little utility. The Tofa kösh in fact is a unit of time and effort–the actual distance you can cover in a day on reindeer back will depend on terrain, snowfall, and other conditions."
Quite a few linguists have "debunked" the "Eskimo snow myth" [that the Eskimo have 99 words for snow] , but I think they are missing the point. In fact there are very well-documented systems like the 99 terms for sea ice among the Inuit (found in the book Watching Ice and Weather Our Way by Conrad Oozeva. Smithsonian Press). And these systems can teach us a great deal about human adaptation, linguistic richness, and topographical expertise.

Territory, Australia. Photo by K. David Harrison.
Is there a certain language you've heard that sounded particularly musical or beautiful?
Koro has a lovely musical sound with short, open syllables and complex intonation patterns we have not yet decoded.
What is the most complex, detailed information packaged into a single word you've ever heard? What language?
I like the example "aalychtypyskem" which appears in the film and in Chulym means "I went out moose hunting". But from the point of view of many of the world's languages, this is really nothing remarkable. It's just from the point of view of English (or Chinese, etc.) that these kinds of highly compact structures seem odd. Sora has a verb that means "to be killed by a tiger", and there are many other examples in my book.
Many of the examples you use to describe how language reflects local knowledge tend to be, naturally, words that focus on the outside environment (such as iy). What examples have you found for words which describe or package information about emotions, or dreams, or are more applicable to the internal "landscape"?
I have not delved much into this area, though as a beginning fieldworker I was fascinated that Tuvans regard and conceptualize the liver as the seat of emotions, not the heart. So in Tuvan "my lived aches" means "I'm heartbroken". This is a very rich area of the lexicon that needs to be studied comparatively across many languages. It will change our view of the mind, emotions, psychology.

A bone disease is considered any condition that affects the skeletal system and can range from very serious, requiring prompt treatment, to chronic conditions that may cause limited range of motion, deformity, or pain. Some of the more common bone diseases are discussed here.
• Postmenopausal osteoporosis (ICD-9-CM code 733.01) is caused by a lack of estrogen and affects women aged 51 to 75.
• Senile osteoporosis (733.01) results from age-related calcium deficiency and occurs in people older than 70; it's twice as common in women as in men. Women can have senile and postmenopausal osteoporosis simultaneously.
• Idiopathic juvenile osteoporosis (733.02) occurs in children and young adults with normal hormone levels and function, normal vitamin levels, and no obvious reason to have weak bones.
• Disuse osteoporosis (733.03) is due to immobilization or disuse of a bone (eg, hemiplegia).
• Drug-induced osteoporosis (733.09) can be caused by corticosteroids, heparin, barbiturates, and anticonvulsants. If the drug was taken correctly (adverse effect), sequence code 733.09 first followed by the therapeutic use E code identifying the drug. If the drug was taken incorrectly, sequence the poisoning code first followed by code 733.09 and the E code identifying the circumstances of the poisoning. When the documentation does not state whether the drug was taken correctly or incorrectly, it is assumed it was taken correctly.
• unspecified curvature of the spine (737.40).
Other codes for osteoporosis include osteoporosis circumscripta (731.0); posttraumatic osteoporosis (733.7), which also includes disuse atrophy of bone; and wedging of vertebra, not otherwise specified (733.00).
Osteoporosis has no symptoms until a fracture occurs. If the fracture is determined to be due to osteoporosis, it is considered a pathological fracture, which is a break of a diseased or weakened bone without any identifiable trauma or following a minor injury that would not ordinarily break a healthy bone. A pathological fracture is classified to code 733.1x, with a fifth digit identifying the fracture site. Osteoporotic fractures often occur in the vertebra (733.13), hip (733.14), and wrist (distal radius or Colles' fracture, 733.12).
Other underlying causes of pathological fractures include metastatic tumor of the bone, osteomyelitis, Paget's disease, disuse atrophy, hyperparathyroidism, and nutritional or congenital disorders. However, the fact that the patient has a bone-weakening condition such as osteoporosis does not mean the fracture is pathologic. Only the physician can determine whether the fracture is considered traumatic or pathologic, and physician documentation must be obtained to clarify the diagnosis.
The following terms are synonymous with pathological fracture: spontaneous fracture, insufficiency fracture, nontraumatic fracture, nontraumatic compression fracture, and chronic fracture.
The sequencing of osteoporosis and pathological fracture depends on the circumstances of admission. If a patient is admitted for treatment of the pathological fracture rather than osteoporosis, the fracture should be sequenced first followed by the code for osteoporosis.
Compression fractures may be considered traumatic (work or sports related) or pathologic (due to disease process). Review the medical record to determine whether there was significant trauma to cause the compression fracture. If the documentation is unclear, ask the physician for clarification. Never assign a code for a traumatic fracture with a code for a pathologic fracture at the same site.
Osteogenesis imperfecta (756.51), also called brittle bone disease, is a congenital disorder characterized by fragile bones that break easily for no known reason. Symptoms associated with osteogenesis imperfecta include short stature, weak tissues, fragile skin, muscle weakness, loose joints, bleeding, easy bruising, early hearing loss, breathing problems, or curvature of the spine.
Paget's disease is a chronic disease that causes enlarged or deformed bones, leading to bone fractures, and occurs mostly in men. It is assigned to code 731.0, Osteitis deformans without mention of bone tumor. If the Paget's disease occurs with bone cancer, then the appropriate code for the bone cancer is sequenced first followed by code 731.1, Osteitis deformans in diseases classified elsewhere.
Most of the time, bone cancer is considered metastatic, meaning the cancer originated somewhere else in the body and traveled to the bone. Metastasis to the bone is classified to code 198.5 and may come from cancer of the breast, prostate, or lung as well as many other sites. The main type of cancer that can actually start in the bone is sarcoma. Common types of malignant bone tumors include osteosarcoma (also called osteogenic sarcoma), chondrosarcoma, Ewing tumor (also called Ewing sarcoma), malignant fibrous histiocytoma, fibrosarcoma, giant cell tumor of bone, or chordoma.
Malignant bone tumors are classified to category 170, Malignant neoplasm of bone and articular cartilage. The fourth-digit subcategory identifies the location of the cancer.
Coding and sequencing for bone diseases are dependent on the physician documentation in the medical record and application of the Official Coding Guidelines for inpatient care. Also, use specific AHA Coding Clinic for ICD-9-CM and American Medical Association CPT Assistant references to ensure complete and accurate coding.
In ICD-10-CM, pathological fractures are classified to code M84.4, Pathological fracture, not elsewhere classified. Fifth and sixth characters are necessary to identify the location and the laterality of the fracture. In addition, a seventh character is required to identify whether the encounter is initial or subsequent.
• Pathological fracture in other disease (M84.6-).


You meet a lot of interesting people on Twitter, but you don't always have the chance to meet them in real life. When I 'met' Neill Anthony recently and learned that this talented young chef, who trained in kitchens of Gordon Ramsay, Marcus Wareing and others, was making waves as a personal chef Cape Town, I wasted no time in putting him in an elbow-lock (virtually speaking, of course) and tweaking his ears until he agreed to present a master class for local food bloggers.
Not that he needed much tweaking. Neill was enthusiastic about the idea from the beginning, and together we planned a class that would challenge and inspire people who were keen to pick up top tips from some of England's finest kitchens. I didn't want any ordinary cooking demo - most of the best food bloggers and home cooks have long since mastered the basics, and beyond - but rather a class that would help already-competent cooks hone their skills and sharpen their recipes.
And the food? Well, it was heavenly. What really opened my eyes was how Neill created such beautiful, clean-flavoured dishes using so few ingredients. And I mean really few ingredients: I shopped for the event, and I kept having to check and recheck my shopping list because the trolley seemed so empty.
After the demo, we all sat down to enjoy a beautiful three-course meal, with wines that Neill had bought along from Silverhurst. He also bought a big bottle of award-winning Willow Creek olive oil for each attendee (thanks, Willow Creek and Silverhurst!).
On the menu, hand-made ravioli and tortellini with a baby spinach, ricotta and liquid egg-yolk filling, served with a butternut purée and an onion and milk froth; Norwegian salmon with baby beetroot, and whole white beans and puréed beans with tarragon; and a boozy prune and brandy soufflé.
Disclosure: Verlaque Fine Foods, who provided product give-aways for this demo, is one of of my clients.
Thank you Jane for a marvellous event and I look forward to many more!!!
Thank you for organising a fabulous day. An I look forward to future events.
I discovered Neill thru a mutual friend and a video podcast I produced on inspectorgrape.com. Everyone I come across that has met him can't stop raving about his amazing culinary skills. Thanks for the great pics - really gives the inside story!
Thanks again Jane-Anne for organizing this event, it was fantastic!
Oh. My. God. I cannot believe I missed this - I should have made a plan!
Please do another one early next year if possible!
I looked at the tweetpics eagerly, while I was away. What a fantastic idea Jane. Love your write up and photo-story book as well.
Looking forward to the next one/s.
Saw Nina's review and just had to come see what you had to say as well.
Thank you all for these comments. I will let you know shortly about the next Master Class, planned for mid January.

Greenbaum v. United States
Citation360 F. Supp. 784, 1973 U.S. Dist. 13849
Brief Fact Summary. Plaintiff, Morey Greenbaum, brought this action against Defendant, the United States, under the Federal Tort Claims Act ("FTCA"). Defendant challenged the jurisdiction.
Synopsis of Rule of Law. An answer that claims a lack of knowledge or information will not be considered a denial if the party did not exert a reasonable effort to discover the facts.
Facts. Plaintiff sued under the FTCA after he fell in a Philadelphia post office. He worked for the post office, but on that day was only picking up his paycheck. Although Plaintiff filed under the FTCA as a business invitee, the Federal Employees Compensation Act ("FECA") provided for paying compensation to employees while performing their duties. The accident occurred on March 1, 1968 and he filed on May 17, 1968. The suit began on May 9, 1969. Defendant waited more than five years to now assert that the federal court did not have jurisdiction because FECA provided for an exclusive remedy for employee compensation through the Secretary of Labor. During that time, Defendant never objected or raised the issue when Plaintiff asserted his status as a business invitee.
Issue. The issue is whether the court lacks jurisdiction to hear a dispute about compensation for a federal employee.
Held. The court held that, although a defense of jurisdiction is not waived when it is delayed, this case presented an exceptional problem in the five years-plus delay between the accident and the challenge of jurisdiction. Defendant possessed the information, such as a superintendent's report documenting that the injury occurred while Plaintiff was picking up his check, but neglected to use a reasonable effort to examine their files. Only after Plaintiff increased his damages amount did they perform a more diligent search. Therefore, Defendant's prior assertion that they had no knowledge will not act as a should actually act as an admission that Plaintiff was a business invitee.
Discussion. Defendant's lack of diligence in reviewing their files supersedes the importance of granting jurisdiction to the Secretary of Labor as a FECA claim.

Malta Tax Treaty
United States-Malta Tax Treaty
Malta International Tax Compliance Rules
Quick Summary. An island archipelago located in the Mediterranean Sea, the Republic of Malta is a constitutional republic.
Malta gained independence in 1964. Its constitution provides for a parliamentary system modeled on the Westminster system and a unicameral Parliament known as the House of Representatives. Malta is comprised of five regions, each having its own Regional Committee, and 68 local councils.
Malta's tax system employs a participation exemption system. Its tax laws are primarily derived from the Income Tax Act, Income Tax Management Act, Duty on Documents and Transfers Act, Malta Enterprise Act, and the Value Added Tax Act.
U.S.-Malta Tax Treaty
Malta is a member of the Commonwealth of Nations as well as the United Nations.

OVERVIEW OF TAXATION IN MALTA
Malta imposes tax on net income at the national level. The definition of income subject to tax is expansive and includes certain capital gains. These gains may be taxed at lower rates than the rates applicable to ordinary income. Taxable income is computed on an annual basis and is taxed either by assessment or by withholding tax.
The Maltese income tax system mitigates double taxation of dividend income through a full imputation system, which provides shareholders receiving dividends from Maltese corporations a credit for Maltese corporate tax imposed on earnings out of which dividends are paid by those companies. The imputation credit is allowed for resident and non-resident shareholders.
Individuals who are both ordinarily resident and domiciled in Malta are subject to Maltese income tax on their worldwide income. Individuals are resident in Malta if they permanently reside in Malta, allowing for temporary absences deemed reasonable by the Maltese tax commissioner and which are not inconsistent with the individuals' claim of Maltese residence. Individuals who are not of Maltese origin and who do not intend to permanently establish themselves in Malta are not considered to be domiciled in Malta for tax purposes.
Individuals who are either not ordinarily resident in Malta or are not domiciled in Malta are generally subject to Maltese income tax on their income and capital gains arising in Malta and on their foreign income (but not foreign capital gains) that is received in Malta. Nonresidents are exempt from tax on any capital gains derived from the disposal of shares in a Maltese resident company the assets of which do not consist wholly or principally of immovable property situated in Malta.37 Non-resident individuals are subject to different tax rates than those generally applicable to resident individuals. Non-resident rates extend from zero percent for taxable income up to to 35 percent for taxable income. As Malta generally provides a full imputation credit for residents and non-residents alike, no withholding tax is imposed on dividends received from companies that are tax resident in Malta. Furthermore, distributions from "untaxed income" to non-resident shareholders are also not taxable. No withholding taxes apply to interest and royalty payments unless the interest or royalties are effectively connected with a permanent establishment situated in Malta. In such cases, the withholding tax would be 25 percent if paid to an individual. Such withholding taxes are not final in that any withholding taxes paid are credit against the nonresident's tax liability in respect of the income, and any excess withholding tax paid is refunded.
An individual's taxable income is the sum of all gain and profits from the following sources: trade or business; profession or vocation; employment or office; dividends, interests or discounts; pensions, annuities or annual payments; rents, royalties, premiums and any other profits arising from property; certain capital gains; and other gains or profits. Trade losses may be offset against income of the same year and thereafter carried forward indefinitely and offset against the income for succeeding years.
Losses due to depreciation, however, may only be carried forward indefinitely and set off against the profits of the same and continuing trade. No carry-back of losses is allowed. Losses arising outside Malta are allowed as a deduction if the losses, had they been profits, would have been taxable in Malta. Capital losses may be set off only against capital gains. The set-off is allowed against capital gains of the current and following years.
The Maltese tax system distinguishes between "taxed income" and "untaxed income." The difference between a company's distributable profits, as shown in its financial statements, and the total amounts of the taxed income, is referred to as untaxed income. As a result of the operation of the full imputation system, there is generally no withholding tax on dividends paid out of profits subject to Maltese corporate tax. However, a withholding tax rate applies to dividends paid to resident individuals out of untaxed profits. In general, there is no withholding tax on interest paid to resident individuals. However, a final withholding tax may apply in the case of interest paid by Maltese banks, the government of Malta and public corporations and authorities. There are no withholding taxes on royalties paid to resident individuals.
Income tax is imposed on capital gains derived from the transfer of ownership of certain assets by individuals. Tax on capital gains does not apply to immovable property that has been owned and occupied for at least three years as the transferor's own residence immediately preceding the transfer and provided that the property is disposed of within 12 months of vacating the premises. Exempt capital gains also include those from the sale of securities listed on the Malta Stock Exchange, other than securities in a collective investment scheme held in a fund investing less than 85 percent of its total investments in Malta-based securities.
For both resident and non-resident individuals, Maltese tax law generally does not allow the deduction of expenses related to income from capital or employment. Only deductions for expenses for the production of business income and income from self-employment are permitted.
Under Maltese tax law no personal allowances or credits are granted.
Corporations that are both ordinarily resident and domiciled in Malta are generally taxed in Malta on a worldwide basis at a 35-percent rate. Maltese tax law does not specifically provide for taxation of corporations on the basis of accounting profit. However, in practice, the profit shown on the income statement, in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards forms the basis on which income is computed and the basis on which tax is levied, subject to such specific adjustments as are required and imposed by the relevant tax rules. In general, a company's gains on the transfer of capital assets are aggregated with its other income, and the total income and capital gains are taxed at the general rate. However, gains on the transfer of immovable property situated in Malta are separately subject to a flat rate property transfer tax. Reduced income tax rates of five percent to 15 percent are applicable to companies qualifying for benefits under the Business Promotion Act. Malta has neither thin capitalization rules with respect to deductibility of interest expense nor controlled foreign company rules or other similar specific anti-abuse legislation.
Under the "participation exemption rules" Malta exempts from tax dividend income and capital gains derived by a company registered in Malta from a "participating holding" of a foreign subsidiary or from the disposal of such holding. A holding in a foreign company is considered to be a participating holding if either a company holds directly at least 10 percent of the equity shares of a foreign company (that is, a company that is not resident in Malta) or a company is an equity shareholder that invests sufficient funds in a foreign company and that investment is held for an uninterrupted period of at least 183 days.
Dividends derived from a participating holding of a foreign subsidiary acquired after January 1, 2007 qualify for the exemption if the company in which the participation is held satisfies any of the following conditions: (1) it is a European Union ("EU") resident; (2) it is subject to tax in its country of residence of at least ten percent; or, (3) it does not derive more than 50 percent of its income from passive interest or royalties. If none of the above conditions is satisfied, both of the following two conditions must be fulfilled: the investment in the non-Maltese resident company is not a portfolio investment in the hands of the Maltese company; and, the non- Maltese resident company or its passive interest or royalties income is subject to tax in its country of residence tax of at least five percent.
There is generally no withholding tax on the payment of dividends, interest, or royalties by one Malta resident company to another Malta resident company.
Inheritance, gift and wealth taxes
Malta imposes no inheritance, gift, or wealth taxes.
Social security contributions are levied. Social security contributions are not deductible for income tax purposes.
Other indirect taxes
Malta imposes a value added tax ("VAT") on the consumption of goods and services.
Although the VAT is levied at each stage of the economic chain, it is ultimately borne by the final customer. The VAT due on any sale is a percentage of the sale price less all the tax paid at the preceding stages. The rate is reduced for certain products and services and in some cases is zero.
An initial registration fee applies upon the incorporation of a company. The registration fee is calculated on the basis of the amount of the authorized share capital of the company.
Stamp duty is levied on the purchase of shares, business assets, and immovable property. The stamp duty is imposed at the rate of five percent or two percent on the amount of consideration received from a transfer of, respectively, immovable property or marketable securities (or, if greater, on the value of the property transferred). The five-percent rate also applies to a transfer of marketable securities in a company if 75 percent or more of the value that company's assets (excluding all current assets other than immovable property) is comprised of immovable property. An environmental tax is imposed at fixed rates on products, such as plastic, metal and glass containers, batteries, and household appliances that result in waste. The tax is payable by traders importing or manufacturing taxable goods.

Want to bring fresh, live content to your social media audience? A social media takeover -- in which the posting duties are turned over to an on-the-spot guest -- is an excellent way to make it happen. If you're feeling a little overwhelmed about how to get started, don't worry. This seven-point plan is a proven guide for any poster to deliver successful live-event coverage.
Because there is typically so much going on at the same time during a big event, it's important to review the agenda of everything that is taking place (for example, who's speaking and about what) and decide which sessions or elements of the event you want to share with your community. It's always better to cover some of the event's elements really well than to try to cover it all.
Once you have reviewed the agenda and determined exactly which elements you'd like to feature (such as keynote speakers, product launches or live demonstrations), be sure to know when and where you'll need to be to get the inside scoop. Think of yourself as a journalist: You want to be the first one at the scene of the story. Whether snagging a front-row seat for the keynote to get the best audio for your SnapChat video or arriving at a booth in time to capture the setup of a live demo, giving yourself that extra time is key to delivering unique behind-the-scenes content to your followers.
It takes time to craft posts, filter photos and add relevant hashtags (especially when you are posting on multiple platforms); aim to give yourself enough time to be posting at least once an hour, and stay focused on delivering your plan.
Bonus tip: Make sure you have a portable mobile phone charger. Without this, your takeover could be cut short!
2. Get familiar with your brand's preferred audience, voice and preferred platform(s).
You may know your own brand and audience inside and out, but when it comes time to hosting a social media takeover, it's vital that you be familiar with both the audience you are trying to reach as well as how and where to reach them to create an effective campaign. Connect with the social media or marketing team of the brand whose social media you will be taking over to get their thoughts on what has (and hasn't) worked in the past. If they're new to the social media world, ask them for feedback on marketing campaigns that have been most effective and why they think they worked.
Let them advise you on which platforms they'd like you to post on and make sure you are familiar with the platform while your colleagues are on hand to give you pointers. Never posted an Instagram story? Don't panic! Try it out on your personal account and ask for feedback well in advance.
Bonus tip: Make sure you have a list of all the platform user names and passwords that you'll be posting to, and take it with you to the event.
3. Know the key players, handles and hashtags of the event.
One of the most important parts of putting together your pre-event plan is to create a list of the relevant brands and people you want to interact with on social media during the event, as well as their social handles and hashtags that will be used to ensure you are a part of the bigger conversation happening online.
For each topic or session that you plan to cover during your social media takeover, research the social media accounts of the companies or people that you plan to feature. Be sure to like their Facebook pages and follow them on Twitter, Instagram and SnapChat. Tagging them in your post and including any of the hashtags they use means you'll spread your event's reach farther.
Bonus tip: Be sure to follow the event organizers and feature them in your posts. They'll love your support, and you'll increase your opportunities to engage with their audience.
At the heart of every successful social media campaign is creating a personal relationship with your audience. This is especially true during a social media takeover, as you're communicating with a new audience and it's important to gain their trust in order to capture their attention.
Introduce yourself in your first post of the day on all of your platforms; there's no harm in dropping in a little selfie, too. Let the audience know who you are and what you'll be sharing with them each day. Use hashtags that highlight you are taking over on all of your posts -- e.g., #KatieJTakesover.
Bonus tip: Not all platforms are hashtag appropriate, so be sure to sign off your posts in the same way each time. Remember, not everyone will have seen your introduction post.
Live videos are what really bring a social medial takeover to life! Don't worry about polishing or editing your video to perfection; the fact that it's raw and gritty makes it all the more authentic and relatable. You'll also notice that the engagement you generate from a video post is far greater than standard text and image posts.
There are many different channels that support live video, but if you have a strong following on Facebook, Facebook Live is a great way to interact with an existing audience. Instagram allows you to post videos up to 60 seconds long.
Bonus tip: Remember that quality is better than quantity; try to keep your videos under 60 seconds to always leave your viewers wanting more. You don't want to oversaturate them with content or bore them by hanging around too long. Keep it brief and they'll keep an eye out for your next post.
6. Give the people what they want.
Successful social media interactions should be just that: interactions. Focus on creating a two-way conversation to create engagement. Ask the audience what they'd like you to share with them. Engaging in a conversation with your new community will help you find out more about what they want to see or learn. As you are their eyes and ears into the event, you want to make sure you're highlighting what's most interesting to them.
Depending on the type of event you are covering, you can ask your followers if there's something specific that they want to see -- a new product launch, an upcoming artist performance, etc.
Bonus tip: To increase engagement, craft posts that invite conversation. Ask questions.
When the event has ended, take time to review and analyze your results. Look at the performance of the different post types on the various social channels. Determine which posts created the most engagement and on which platforms. You should see some trends that can help offer insight for future events, and you should also notice a spike in engagement compared with a nontakeover day.
Armed with these results, you should be even more prepared for your next takeover.

This project was produced by the history group in 2009/2010. Some content is also contributed to the National Archives Your Archives as part of their Historical Streets Project. This project is now discontinued.
Church Path is the old path from the parish church of St Leonard in Upper Deal, County of Kent, through Middle Deal to Lower Deal and the sea over a mile away.
Famous for The Downs and shipping in the age of sail during 16th to 19th centuries. It possesses a complete range of dwellings, high status to small cottages. It has an upper section, near the Church, a middle section (suject of this study) and a lower section. A typical view looking at the upper section towards the Church is shown in this photo (1890-1910) from the National Monuments Record where it is labelled Church Walk.
It is still a path with housing on the western side fronting it. Parallel to it is Middle Deal Road with the rear entrances to these buildings. There are two short sections with road and post 1880 housing on the eastern side of these sections.
There are clues to the early history of this path. In 1668 a Strangers Burial Ground was purchased by the parishoners near the current day St Andrew's Church. There was a query over its use in October 1794 (St Leonard's Church Vestry Minutes) and this refers to the earlier date. Church Path goes to it, so we infer that it was in use at that time. It is wide enough for coffin bearers and a coffin.
Shown on the 1769 Andrews & Drury Map of East Kent.
Had a nickname of Coffin Path due to the coffins taken up to the Church and down again. A Chapel of Ease (St Georges Church) in Lower Deal was only opened in 1716.
In December 1794 a Vestry meeting was convened to purchase a piece of ground from William Pope for an overflow churchyard adjoining to Stone Lane of size 140 perches. This is located near the top end of Church Path today and so we have discovered a new 'official' name for Church Path.
In 1818 an extension of the Dover-Deal Turnpike was authorised by Act of Parliament from Deal (Queen Street) to Sandwich. This is now named London Road. From Queen Street it went parallel to Church Path but on the eastern side, joining and appropriating an existing path (from Upper Deal direct to Deal Castle) and bisecting Church Path close to Upper Deal, joining the existing road through Upper Deal, out through Sholden and then across the marsh West of Deal through Hacklinge and on to Sandwich. At the crossing of Church Path, 'The Magnet Inn' and 222 London Road (Vine House) are aligned square on to Church Path and so are considered older than the Turnpike.
The 1851 Census records some properties (HO 107/1631/27), notably the 'Fiver Ringers' and 'Bowling Green' pubs with their address as Gravel Walk so this name was in use for some period.
On the 1st edition OS map (1873 revision) it is named Church Walk.
Before 1898 it gains its modern name of Church Path (see Deal, Walmer & Sandwich Street Directory by Pain).
Street numbering for Church Path took place somewhat after the 1911 Census but before the 1910 valuation survey Field Books were filled in, in this case around 1914. The numbering has remained intact and has not gone through the process of re-numbering.
It is interesting to note that Church Path runs parallel to the edge of the field boundary pattern shown on the 1843 tithe map and it does not take the shortest route to the sea. This implies that it came after the field boundary system. Indeed Church Path is heading towards the Ancient Highway being the original route to Sandwich over the Sand Hills.
The second interesting note is that even the oldest houses are all aligned with their fronts to Church Path. The rear entrances back onto Middle Deal Road and give access to the stables, outbuildings, workshops etc. Also at the rear we have the Blacksmith and the farm entrances.
Upper Deal is situated on chalk (the North Downs) at the base of the dip slope. Church Path runs in a north easterly direction over thick sediment and former marsh all at sea level. Deal itself is built on a shingle bank a great fosse, a spit that grew northwards from the cliffs at Kingsdown stretching some four miles to the mouth of the River Stour close to Sandwich. The chalk aquefer provides extremely pure drinking water and many wells were sunk in the area. The low lying land is very fertile.
Henry J Harvey, Blacksmith was owner / occupier of Devonport House (using the 1910 IR survey) and worked in the Forge at the bottom of the garden, which fronted onto Middle Deal Road. He was still there as blacksmith in 1938 (Street Directory).

Economists Predict Rebound In Montana Followed By Hangover
Yellowstone Public Radio
Published February 2, 2021 at 7:09 PM MST
Bureau of Business and Economic Research
Patrick Barkey, director of the Bureau of Business and Economic Research, shares a powerpoint slide comparing Montana's employment recovery compared to the U.S. average during an online seminar Feb. 1, 2021
While the COVID-19 pandemic cratered Montana's economy last spring, researchers say the state's recovery has been a little stronger than the U.S. average.
Patrick Barkey, director of the Bureau of Business and Economic Research, says Montanans lost 39,000 jobs from January through June last year. Accommodations and food, and arts and entertainment were the two industries hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Barkey says it's been a painful recession for many Montanans but overall, "it's more of a jobs recession than an income recession for Montana."
Speaking at BBER's annual economic outlook seminar, which is being held virtually this year, Barkey says a flood of government money came into Montana last year through unemployment benefits, Paycheck Protection Program loans, stimulus checks and other financial assistance.
"We've been on a government life support system. I mean, there is enormous amount of cash, and Montanans in particular aren't really aware of the CARES Act disbursements that were made to state government were even more favorable to Montana than other states because it was on a per capita basis but there was a minimum floor," Barkey says.
Barkey says more people were saving money, and certain industries, like mining, high-tech and even tourism to some extent, continued to do well during the pandemic. He says wage and salary growth last year was almost where it was the year prior.
While data is still coming in from the last quarter of 2020, Barkey is predicting results will show a mild uptick in personal income in Montana.
Barkey says BBER is forecasting a growth rebound in 2021 followed by a hangover with slower growth in later years.
"I think the pandemic is the wildcard. I think the expectation is we are going to get back to normalcy, whatever that means, exactly, some time around July. We keep pushing that back, but we're hopeful," Barkey says.
Barkey says he predicts hard times ahead for coal and oil, a brighter future for agriculture, continued growth in the high-tech sector and high housing demand.

Is anyone similar with this error and provide me a solution?
Thanks!

A: It looks like the issue has already been fixed - at least partially: https://github.com/umbraco/Umbraco-CMS/commit/ac88da4188365b101debf0f3e9ad7ec7c300a898 for the upcoming 7.1.3 patch release.
I say partially because I think there are two issues here:

*

*The exception you posted is around the CurrentUser, which won't
exist when using the API. This issue hasn't been fixed yet.

*The NotificationService which is used to send the notification requires an HttpContext because of some legacy code that is involved. This is fixed in the above commit, so the notification won't be sent if an HttpContext is not available.
But luckily there is a way around this in the code sample you provided. The Save-method in the ContentService has an overload to specify that the method should not raise events. When you don't raise events for a Save method the NotificationService won't be called and the exception won't occur. But of course it also means that no notification will be sent for the Content item you are creating from code using the API.
Example:
public class CreateContent : ApplicationEventHandler
{
    protected override void ApplicationStarted(UmbracoApplicationBase umbracoApplication, ApplicationContext applicationContext)
    {
        var root = applicationContext.Services.ContentService.GetRootContent();

        var content = applicationContext.Services.ContentService.CreateContent("Profile", -1, "umbTextPage");

        applicationContext.Services.ContentService.Save(content, 0, false);

        base.ApplicationStarted(umbracoApplication, applicationContext);
    }
}

Notice that applicationContext.Services.ContentService.Save(content, 0, false); contains two extra paramenters: 0 for the user id (zero is normally the admin user which is always present), and false for specifying that raiseEvents = false.
Using this approach should ensure that your code doesn't invoke the NotificationService, which then throws an exception.
Hope this helps!

Instagram is testing an option to show the latest posts first
By David Nield last updated 14 September 20
A return to a chronological order, sort of
Instagram hasn't been quite the same since it switched from a chronological feed to an algorithm-driven one back in 2016 – but a new feature spotted in the app's code suggests users might soon get a new way to see the most recent posts first.
Serial tipster Jane Manchun Wong found the option, which doesn't appear to regular users at the moment. A splash screen appears, offering to help you "get caught up" on new posts from particular people.
This doesn't seem to be a full-on return to the chronological feed, but it might be enough to satisfy some of those who have been clamouring to see recent activity on Instagram ahead of what the app thinks are the best posts of the day.
Beware fake Galaxy Note phones
Live Caption could come to Chrome
These are the best Netflix movies
Over the years Instagram has actually tweaked its algorithms so that timely photos and videos have a better chance of appearing at the top of the feed, and there have been previous tests of a 'new posts' feature too.
No launch plans
It's not clear when or if this 'latest posts' feature is ever going to see the light of day officially, but there's no doubt it's something that Instagram developers are thinking about and actively testing.
Alexandru Voica, part of the communications team, confirmed on Twitter that the feature was part of a recent hackathon at Facebook, an event where coders get to experiment outside of their usual day-to-day programming.
"It is not available to anyone publicly, and we have no plans to test or launch it at this time," said Voica, so it sounds like we won't be getting this option in Instagram for a while yet, at least.
The most recent feature to get added to the social networking app is a tool for showing the users you interact with least. If you want to cut down on the number of accounts you're following, then this is a good place to start.

Hearty butternut squash is often roasted as a seasonal side dish, but a whole one might yield too much for a single meal. This double-cheese quesadilla is a great way to use the leftovers.
In a medium bowl, mix together squash and goat cheese.
For each quesadilla, spread one tortilla with one-quarter of squash mixture (about 1/3 cup), then sprinkle with 2 tablespoons jalapenos and 1/2 cup mozzarella.
In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1/2 tablespoon butter over medium until bubbling. Add prepared tortilla to skillet, cheese side facing up. Top with second tortilla. Cook, flipping once, until cheese is melted and tortillas are golden, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat with remaining tortillas. Cut into wedges; serve immediately, with pico de gallo.
To serve all quesadillas at once, keep cooked quesadillas warm in a 225-degree oven until ready to serve.
While you can certainly use store-bought salsa, for bonus points, make our tried-and-true Pico de Gallo.
We loved this! Kids especially! We also have substituted some habenero, jalapeno, or pepperjack cheese for the pickled jalapeno and never bothered with the pico de gallo. It is sweet and savory and delicious!

Is sleep the most underrated beauty product? We chat with Dr Carmel Harrington about the benefits of getting a good night's sleep.
Carmel has been working in the world of sleep for nearly 20 years. She has a PhD in Sleep Medicine from Sydney University, is an honorary research fellow at the Children's Hospital Westmead and consults internationally to companies and educational institutions on sleep health.
She is passionate about the fundamental role sleep plays in our ongoing happiness and wellbeing and has written two books on the topic – The Sleep Diet and The Complete Guide to a Good Night's Sleep. She chats to TIANNA NADALIN about why sleep is the third pillar of health.
How are our busy lives affecting our sleep patterns?
It all comes down to this wonderful hormone called melatonin, which comes out at sunset and disappears in sunlight. Our eyes detect fading light and that feeds back to a part of the brain that produces melatonin. The major problem with people who work up until two minutes before they go to bed is that they haven't set themselves up for sleep. Our eyes can't tell the difference between sunlight and artificial light, so if you're watching TV or staring at a computer all evening, your eyes aren't exposed to the natural rhythm of the day. That means your body won't start producing melatonin, which is essential for sleep.
How does sleep deprivation affect our hormones?
Sleep deprivation throws out the balance of ghrelin and leptin in the body, which means you will have increased levels of ghrelin (the hormone that makes you feel hungry) and a decrease in leptin (the hormone that makes you feel full). This means it takes more calories to make you feel satiated. A recent study showed that people who slept less than five hours a night ate 350 to 500 calories more than people who received adequate sleep.
Hidden effects of sleep deprivation?
Sleep affects how we view ourselves and how we view the world around us as well. There is new research emerging on how sleep deprivation affects not only on our memory, but also what we remember. A recent study of more than 7500 people showed participants a series of positive, neutral and negative images. People who had slept poorly had less retention overall than those who slept well, but what was most interesting was the type of memory loss. Those in the sleep-deprived group didn't remember the positive or neutral images very well, but maintained memory with the negative.
If you're living in the bush and eat something that makes you sick, you have to remember that feeling so you don't eat it again – it's a survival mechanism. When you are poorly slept, you tend to have an overly negative view of the world – and yourself.
Is sleep the most underrated beauty product?
Beauty, or attractiveness, is not just how you look, it's about your vim and vigour – sparkling eyes, bright skin, gentle manner and nice demeanour. A good night's sleep allows you to have all of those. Sleep also gives your body time to restore and repair, which helps you feel, and look, beautiful from the inside out. Plus, we feel great after it.
How much sleep do we actually need, then?
A massive study by the American Sleep Foundation found that as adults we need between seven to nine hours of sleep a night; some people will need up to 10 and others might be able to deal with six. And the majority of us sleep best between the hours of 10 and six, give or take an hour.
What is one thing you'd like to change through your work?
Exercise and nutrition are commonly referred to as the two pillars of health. I'd like people to recognise that sleep is the third pillar, and it is fundamental to our physical, mental and emotional health.

Sunpreme Bifacial PV panels now atop UC Berkeley's Jacobs Hall
By Chris Crowell June 16, 2016 View Profile
Jacobs Hall is the brand new home for University of California, Berkeley's Jacobs Institute for Design Innovation in the College of Engineering. The building was built to embody the values of the institute itself: "a place to explore, a place to connect and a place to learn design innovation by doing design innovation." Now, it has an advanced bifacial solar PV solar system, too. The cutting edge solar system with Sunpreme Bifacial PV panels will do more than just help the Institute control its electricity bills — it will provide environmental benefit of having PV solar installed and is on track to receive one of the highest levels of LEED Certification for green building.
The solar system is roof-top mounted, commissioned in Q1 2016, and is the largest solar array on the University of California, Berkeley campus. Sunpreme offers advanced bifacial technology that allows PV Panels to absorb light from both sides, increasing energy yield (kWh per kWp) further, and ideal for extreme and challenging environmental conditions. These double glass GxB310, 60 Cell panels have 21.5 percent efficient cells are designed for reliability – frameless that need no grounding, have a low thermal coefficient of -0.28 percent/C and high sensitivity to low lights.

In the early 2000s, a group of local chefs came together and got really honest with a few nonprofits in town.
For years, the restaurants had been providing everything pro bono – the food, the rentals, the waiters.
Leaders of several local small businesses shared how they engage in charitable giving during a panel discussion Thursday at Memphis Brooks Museum of Art. The panel was moderated by Eric Barnes, president and executive editor of The Daily Memphian.
While LEO Events does not do full pro bono work, it provides a discounted rate of sorts to organizations that have worked with the company in the past.
"When we apply a certain amount of hours, we come in with what we consider a discounted rate, though I don't like calling it that because it demeans the value of the services we provide," Brewer said.
Organizations, such as the National Civil Rights Museum, are given a retail invoice at the end of the event that shows the total number of hours LEO employees worked and a pro bono credit applied toward the event.
LEO Events also gives its time and expertise through nonprofit roundtables in which it invites six nonprofit representatives to each sit with nine LEO employees. The six tables of 10 work for an hour to solve a problem, such as an expensive event or cranky board member, and then share ideas with the room.
J.W. Gibson of Gibson Cos. began his career loaning his time and expertise. When he returned from one term in the U.S. Navy, he went to work for Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division.
He immediately was selected for United Way's Loaned Executive program, which MLGW saw as a way to ready young, upcoming employees for management positions.
In his fourth year, Gibson returned to MLGW and learned "quick, fast and in a hurry" that it wasn't for him. He resigned and started Gibson Cos., which would go on to encompass several successful businesses, including a medical, office and janitorial supply company; a development corporation; and a printing company for the Tennessee Lottery.
After his development company helped save the historic Chisca hotel and James Lee House, Gibson has turned his development efforts to the New Daisy Theatre on Beale Street.
"We're proud to serve the community we live in, work in and call home," Gibson said.
Philanthropy also helps LEO Events recruit and retain talent, Brewer said.
Local family-owned communications company Power & Tel has maintained a company culture of giving through three generations, and it now shares that philanthropic culture with its employees.
Starting with founder Miller Pentecost, the company has donated 10 percent of its profits since 1963.
When Pentecost's son, Jim, took over the company in the 1990s, he made charitable giving more employee-driven with a one-to-one matching program.
If employees give $100 a month to charity, they will have an additional $1,200 at the end of the year from Power & Tel to give either to the same charitable cause or another of the employee's choice.
As the need came for making larger gifts to philanthropy, the children of Power & Tel created the Family Giving Fund.
Laurie Yarbrough, who is one of 14 grandchildren, has chaired the fund for the past eight years.
Coming up on its 50th anniversary of growing and empowering philanthropy, the Community Foundation of Greater Memphis sponsored the event.
The Community Foundation serves as the "back office of philanthropy" for each of the companies who participated in the discussion as well as Greater Memphis companies of all sizes.
The Community Foundation manages about 1,000 charitable funds totaling $480 million. Last year, $178 million was given away, mostly in Memphis and Shelby County.
Recent community amenities, including Shelby Farms and Crosstown Concourse, were directly or indirectly the result of charitable giving.
"Building wealth should not be through one individual, but the collective action of many," said Community Foundation president Robert Fockler.
The Daily Memphian is supported in part by the Community Foundation.

Here is the trendiest thing about cryptocurrencies; they don't physically exist everywhere, not even on a hard drive. When you look at a unique address for a wallet featuring a cryptocurrency, there is no digital information held in it, like in the exact same manner that a bank could hold dollars in a bank account. It's only a representation of worth, but there is no real palpable form of that worth. Cryptocurrency wallets may not be confiscated or frozen or audited by the banks and the law. They don't have spending limits and withdrawal limitations enforced on them. No one but the person who owns the crypto wallet can determine how their riches will be managed.
The beauty of the cryptocurrencies is that fraud was proved an impossibility: due to the dynamics of the method in which it's transacted. All transactions on the crypto-currency blockchain are permanent. When you're paid, you get paid. This is simply not anything short term wherever your visitors could challenge or require a refunds, or use illegal sleight of palm. In practice, many investors would be wise to work with a cost processor, due to the permanent dynamics of crypto-currency transactions, you need to make certain that safety is challenging. With any kind of crypto-currency whether it be a bitcoin, ether, litecoin, or any of the numerous additional altcoins, thieves and hackers could potentially gain access to your personal secrets and therefore grab your money. Unfortunately, you probably will never obtain it back. It's quite crucial for you to follow some very good secure and safe routines when working with any cryptocurrency. Doing this may protect you from many of these unfavorable activities.
In the event of the fully functioning cryptocurrency, it may possibly be traded as being a commodity. Proponents of cryptocurrencies proclaim this type of digital cash isn't managed by way of a key bank system and it is not therefore susceptible to the vagaries of its inflation. Because there are a minimal number of goods, this coinis importance is dependant on market forces, allowing owners to business over cryptocurrency transactions.
It is definitely possible, but it must have the ability to recognize opportunities irrespective of market conduct. The market moves in relation to cost BTC … So even if it's in a BTC trend down can make money by buying the altcoins which are altcoin oversold trading ratios-BTC. Sure, your purchasing power in DOLLARS may be lower, but as long as your purchasing power in BTC is still growing you will be okay.
It should be hard to get more little increases (~ 10%) throughout the day. Study the best way to read these Candlestick charts! And I discovered these two rules to be accurate: having little increases is more lucrative than trying to fight up to the summit. Most day traders follow Candlestick, so it's better to look at books than wait for order confirmation when you think the price is going down. Second, there's more unpredictability and compensation in currencies that have not made it to the profitability of websites like Coinwarz.
It was in the year 2008 when the first cryptocurrency was created. This was the digital money referred to as Bitcoin. There are distinct from common money we know. It is because they're not controlled by any country or government. They don't go through any third party. It was a tremendous breakthrough in the means of exchange. In addition, it brought enormous remedies to the problems of identity theft online. Transactions go through several parties as a means of creating trust, but today it's possible to create trust through development of a complicated code by a single party.
Entrepreneurs in the cryptocurrency movement may be wise to explore possibilities for making enormous ammonts of cash with various types of online marketing.There could be a rich reward for anyone daring enough to endure the cryptocurrency markets.Bitcoin structure provides an instructive example of how one might make a lot of money in the cryptocurrency markets. Bitcoin is an outstanding intellectual and technical accomplishment, and it's created an avalanche of editorial coverage and venture capital investment opportunities. But very few people understand that and lose out on very profitable business models made accessible due to the growing use of blockchain technology.
When searching on the web for Affluence Network good products, there are many things to think about.
Ethereum is an unbelievable cryptocurrency platform, however, if growth is too quickly, there may be some problems. If the platform is adopted quickly, Ethereum requests could improve dramatically, and at a rate that exceeds the rate with which the miners can create new coins. Under a situation like this, the entire platform of Ethereum could become destabilized because of the increasing costs of running distributed applications. In turn, this could dampen interest Ethereum platform and ether. Uncertainty of demand for ether can lead to a negative change in the economic parameters of an Ethereum based business which could result in business being unable to continue to manage or to stop operation.
Many people choose to use a money deflation, especially those that desire to save. Despite the criticism and disbelief, a cryptocurrency coin may be better suited for some uses than others. Fiscal privacy, for example, is amazing for political activists, but more debatable when it comes to political campaign financing. We need a secure cryptocurrency for use in commerce; in case you are living paycheck to paycheck, it'd happen included in your wealth, with the remainder earmarked for other currencies.
You have probably noticed this often times where you usually distribute the great word about crypto. "It's not risky? What goes on when the price failures? " sofar, many POS systems gives free transformation of fiat, relieving some matter, but before volatility cryptocurrencies is addressed, most of the people will undoubtedly be unwilling to put up any. We need to find a way to fight the volatility that's inherent in cryptocurrencies.
For most users of cryptocurrencies it isn't crucial to understand how the procedure functions in and of itself, but it's basically important to understand that there is a procedure for mining to create virtual money. Unlike currencies as we understand them today where Authorities and banks can simply choose to print endless amounts (I am not saying they are doing thus, just one point), cryptocurrencies to be operated by users using a mining program, which solves the complex algorithms to release blocks of currencies that can enter into circulation.
If you are looking for Affluence Network good products, look no further than TAN.
Bitcoin is the primary cryptocurrency of the net: a digital money standard by which all other coins are compared to. Cryptocurrencies are distributed, world-wide, and decentralized. Unlike traditional fiat currencies, there's no authorities, banks, or some other regulatory agencies. Therefore, it's more resistant to wild inflation and corrupt banks. The advantages of using cryptocurrencies as your method of transacting cash online outweigh the protection and privacy risks. Security and privacy can easily be achieved by simply being bright, and following some basic guidelines. You wouldn't place your whole bank ledger online for the word to see, but my nature, your cryptocurrency ledger is publicized. This can be fixed by removing any identity of ownership from the wallets and thereby keeping you anonymous.
This mining activity validates and records the transactions across the entire network. So if you're attempting to do something illegal, it's not wise because everything is recorded in the public register for the remainder of the world to see forever.
Since one of the earliest forms of earning money is in cash lending, it really is a fact that you can do that with cryptocurrency. Most of the lending websites currently focus on Bitcoin, a few of these websites you're required fill in a captcha after a particular time frame and are rewarded with a small quantity of coins for visiting them. You can visit the www.cryptofunds.co website to locate some lists of of these websites to tap into the currency of your choice. Unlike forex, stocks and options, etc., altcoin marketplaces have very different dynamics. New ones are constantly popping up which means they do not have lots of market data and historical view for you to backtest against. Most altcoins have somewhat poor liquidity as well and it is hard to produce an acceptable investment strategy.
Cryptocurrency is freeing people to transact money and do business on their terms. Each user can send and receive payments in a similar way, but they also participate in more complicated smart contracts. Multiple signatures allow a trade to be supported by the network, but where a specific number of a defined group of people consent to sign the deal, blockchain technology makes this possible. This enables innovative dispute mediation services to be developed in the foreseeable future. These services could allow a third party to approve or reject a trade in the event of disagreement between the other parties without checking their money. Unlike cash and other payment methods, the blockchain consistently leaves public evidence a transaction happened. This can be possibly used within an appeal against companies with deceptive practices.
