Watch 12 episode Putin on business, big and small
episode 11 Putin on Russia on the international stage and relations with the US
Business could extend a helping hand.
What do you have in mind?
If it were more active in the country's affairs, then there would be investment, then the economy would begin to grow accordingly.
I can crack down on business right away and tell them they are irresponsible. This is not the case. Russian business in general has changed a great deal over the past ten years even. The government is therefore obliged to create conditions for investment – this is definitely true. Better conditions must be created for controlling inflation. We have been doing certain things in this respect. In the World Bank's Doing Business ranking, we are in 28th place, it's a big improvement, huge. This indicates that the government has been doubling down on its efforts, which are yielding positive results. And the amount of investment is growing. In dollar terms, our investment in the beginning of the 2000s totaled around one billion dollars. Then there were tens of billions. Now direct investment is more than $540 billion.
You know, it looks like you see businessmen as swindlers by definition.
Well, there are…
There are some...
Certain grounds for this. I'm saying this with a particular emphasis. What grounds are there? Firstly, because the so-called small business throughout the 2000s was related to trade. Almost entirely.
Not only in Russia.
No, I disagree. In many so-called developed market economies, small business plays a very big role.
In the service sector?
Not only there. In manufacturing, too. We have been trying to achieve what is already a reality in developed market economies. Namely: adjacent to major companies there are dozens and even hundreds of small businesses, which serve the interests of those major companies. What are we doing now? In fact, we are forcing our major companies, in particular partly state-owned ones, to conclude contracts with small businesses. Trillions are at stake. And it's really working. The structure of small businesses has begun to change. Small businesses exist not only in retail trade – some kiosks or pavilions, it's not only about buying low and selling high. Now there are research businesses ventures, too. And small businesses in manufacturing. High-tech small businesses. They are rather effective. The export of these services and goods is growing, too. This is what makes me think we are moving in the right direction in principle, although progress is still, unfortunately, too slow.
Did I understand correctly, that 'retailer' is equal to 'swindler'?
In people's minds. Don't we say so?
But I am talking about you.
I am part of the same people, you know.
So, honestly speaking, I mean, to be really honest. We all think so. But I…
Have you ever been swindled, cheated?
Well, of course. You yourself have surely been swindled and cheated, too.
And what happened to those who did it?
Nothing. You know, there was not much you could do during Soviet times. You got swindled, cheated and just lived with it…
But what if you caught them on the spot?
Well, you know, I… First of all, it's not like I got cheated every day, but if I happened to notice it, there never was anything too serious. I preferred not to lock horns. Making a scene is not a good idea, just isn't worth it.
Leaving small business aside, although it is obviously going through hard times, too. Now, there is this, what is it called again? The "regulatory guillotine"…
Yes. Starting from January 1, 2021.
How much time is left before that? A whole year. How many will survive till then and how many won't?
You see, Andrey, hitting the target is what it's all about. It is a very tricky thing. What is a "regulatory guillotine"? Take the very same retail trade, for instance. Especially the food retail sector or some other sectors that affect people's lives. You could cancel everything to the point where hospitals would be working round the clock to accommodate patients with food poisonings. We should be very cautious about it. The same applies to medicines and so on and so forth. Take fire safety. I know that the fire services are criticized a lot, but there are safety matters involved. Whenever a major tragedy occurs, we instantly begin to tighten the screws everywhere. In the meantime, it's not about tightening or loosening rules - what we need is optimal fire safety requirements. The same goes for everything else. Therefore, cancelling everything at once is very dangerous. But leaving everything unchanged is no longer possible, either. That is why, during the 18 months of preparation time, the government has been and will continue working hard on this issue.
What about big business, investments? Foreign investments? Who will agree to take risks at a time when memories are still fresh - it all began with Khodorkovsky, then there was Magnitsky, and now we have Calvey.
To dot the i's: Khodorkovsky is a fraudster. His people were involved not just in fraudulent transactions, but in murders. This is the real problem. They were convicted in accordance with Russian law. Khodorkovsky's personal involvement in contract killings was not proven, but the killings did take place. They were proven, including killings by their security service. Do you think that staffers of the corporate security service were killing people at their own initiative, of their own volition? I do not think so. It just does not work that way. However, if it's not proven, then it's not proven. But his other illegal activities were proven, hence his prison sentence. As for Calvey, the law enforcement agencies and the court are looking into this matter. Law enforcement agencies primarily … And I believe that…
Well, that is a classic response.
There can be no other response, because I cannot say if he is guilty or not until there is a well-founded and...
Well, the West is watching...
Good for them. We should focus on what we are doing ourselves, paying no attention to the West or the East. We are paddling our own canoe.
How much money...
And we need to proceed from our country's legislation and the supremacy of Russian law.
How much money has flowed out of the country over this period of time?
Not very much.
Not very much?
If we bear in mind how much money has flowed into the country. It can be calculated. The outflow of capital does exist, it is quite evident, but the picture varies from year to year. Generally speaking, it is a natural process - capital inflow and outflow. The more stable the rules of the game are, the more reliable the protection of investment and property we provide - the more confident investors will feel.

I have bought GTranslate Pro module for my website based on Drupal CMS. It is really important for us to get the multi-language support in every pages of the website. It does works good translation for static url or friendly url. But I have problems with parameters not passed properly for the pages which are translated + with website query parameter.
For eg. I have http://healthengage.com/reports page .
I would be really appreciate for your help to troubleshoot this problem.
GTranslate Pro doesn't support get parameters passed by array. You need to change the format of your parameters to be passed as string or upgrade to Enterprise version.
The array like parameter is sent by the core module of the drupal which is not configurable from our side. Actually it is not the array it is similar parameter like other GET parameter.That parameter doesn't have the multiple values it only contains singular value.
Here it doesn't refers to any array values for HTML it is only representation like of array in php world. So when ever we send these input values in GET method the parameter will go like this.
Isn't this a normal GET parameter ?
Any applicable fixes or patch as a solution from your side is really appreciated.

Socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with systemic disease and influences oral and general health. Several studies have found inequalities associated with oral health and SES. We examined the relationship between tooth loss and SES in Korean adults using data from the 2012–2013 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey. Methods: A total of 7,005 participants were included in this study. Subjects were divided into two groups depending on their total number of natural teeth: <20 and ≥20. Next, participants were divided into quartiles depending on household income and educational level. Multivariate logistic regression was used to obtain odds ratios (OR) for remaining teeth according to income and education levels.
As income and education levels increased, subjects were more likely to have ≥20 remaining teeth (p-value and p-value for trend <0.001), brush their teeth more than three times per day, use extra oral products, and have regular oral-health checkups (all p<0.001). The odds of having ≥20 remaining teeth increased with increases in income and education, after adjusting for all covariates (OR = 1.493 for income Q3, OR = 1.571 for income Q4; OR = 1.763 for 10–12 years education, OR = 2.189 for ≥13years education).
Subjects with higher SES had more remaining teeth than subjects with lower SES. Preserving remaining teeth should be encouraged in subjects with low SES by promoting good oral-health behavior and encouraging more oral-health checkups.

Tooth loss is a common condition resulting from dental caries, periodontal disease, trauma, or extraction during orthodontic treatment [1]. Previous studies found that tooth loss was associated with systemic conditions, such as metabolic syndrome [2, 3], dementia [4], obesity [5], renal disease [6], cardiovascular disease [7, 8], diabetes mellitus [9], and certain types of cancer [10], in addition to other dental problems such as periodontitis.
In general, socioeconomic status (SES) is associated with the aforementioned systemic diseases [11–14]. Subjects with low SES have higher prevalence of obesity, coronary heart disease, and cancer than high SES subjects [11–14]. These people are also more likely to have poor oral and general health behaviors [15–17]. SES is associated with inequalities in oral health and subjects with low SES had higher rates of tooth loss than high SES subjects [18–20]. However, there are some controversies regarding the relationship between SES and tooth loss [21–23] because most of previous studies used data from countries with ethnically heterogeneous population or only adjusted for a few variables, such as age, gender, and area of residence. Specifically, there have been no many studies with nationwide representative data in an ethnically homogeneous population such as Korea.
Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (KNHANES) is a nationwide cross-sectional survey conducted by the South Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare using a representative sample of the entire Korean population obtained by cluster sampling design. Korea is a country characterized with a relatively homogeneous Asian population in terms of ethnicity that permits exclusion of racial/ethnical biases in the examination of the relationship between SES and number of remaining teeth excluding. In this study we examined the relationship between tooth loss and SES in Korean adults using a representative sample from the 2012–2013 KNHANES.
Data from the 2012–2013 KNHANES was used in this study. The KNHANES includes national level health and nutrition data collected from surveys and physical examinations [24]. KHANES participants were stratified into multiple stages, prorated by age from the 2005 National Census Registry, and selected using a cluster sampling design to obtain a representative sample of non-institutionalized civilians of both sexes from whole geographic regions of South Korea Face-to-face interviews were carried out by trained interviewers.
This paper used the data from KNHANES a nationwide cross-sectional survey conducted by the South Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare. Survey procedure was used to account for the complex sampling design and to provide approximations of the entire Korean population. Moreover, for the representative sampling area of each region, the stratification and cluster are sampled and extracted to represent the whole Korean population. The participants visited the examination center and trained agents and dentists surveyed the study's representative population of South Koreans using well-made questionnaires, and performed physical examinations.
A total of 21,811 subjects (12,417 men and 13,487 women) aged 19 years or older were included in the KNHANES. First, we only included subjects who were older than 40 years (n = 8,714). We excluded subjects who had insufficient data (n = 1,709). Ultimately, 7,005 subjects were included in this study. The study protocol was approved by the Institutional Review Board of the Korean Center for Disease Control and Prevention (2012-01EXP-01-2C, and 2013-07CON-03-4C) and adheres to the ethical principles for medical research involving human subjects as defined by the Declaration of Helsinki. Written informed consent was obtained from all participants.
Sociodemographic variables
Subjects completed a self-administered questionnaire about age, sex, family income, and education level. Household income was corrected for the number of family members and divided into quartiles. Education level was also divided into quartiles equal or less than 6years (≤6), 7 to 9 years (7–9), 10 to 12 years (10–12), and equal or more than 13 years (≥13) of education. These quartiles represent elementary school, middle school, high school and university respectively. Occupational status was also surveyed.
General health behaviors
General health behaviors were also surveyed. We defined current smokers as those who currently smoked and those who had cumulatively smoked more than 100 cigarettes in their life as National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) concept [25]. Heavy alcohol intake was defined as more than three glasses a day. Physical activity was defined using the International Physical Activity Questionnaire [26], and regular exercise was defined as taking exercising more than three times per week at an intense level for more than 20 minutes per session or as exercising for more than 30 minutes per session.
Anthropometric measurements
Height (cm) and weight (kg) were recorded by trained examiners to the nearest 0.1 cm and 0.1 kg, respectively, with the subjects in light clothing and without shoes. After a normal expiration, waist circumference (WC) was measured to the nearest 0.1 cm on a horizontal plane at the midpoint level between the iliac crest and the costal margin. Body mass index was obtained by dividing the subjects' weight (kg) by the square of their height (m2).
Definition of metabolic syndrome
According to the American Heart Association/National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute's Scientific Statement for Asians [27] the conditions for metabolic syndrome are met when three or more of the following criteria are present: WC ≥90 cm in men and ≥80 cm in women, fasting blood glucose level ≥100 mg/dL or use of antidiabetic medication, blood pressure ≥130/85 mmHg or use of antihypertensive medication, fasting triglyceride level ≥150 mg/dL or use of antidyslipidemic medication, high density lipoprotein cholesterol level <40 mg/dL in men and <50 mg/dL in women or use of antidyslipidemic medication.
Oral-health behaviors
Subjects recorded the time(s) of the day when they brushed their teeth and whether they used extra oral products other than a manual tooth brush and tooth paste. In this survey extra oral products include dental floss, interdental brushes, mouthwash, and electric toothbrushes. The time of day was divided into the following periods: before or after breakfast, lunch, dinner, after snacks, and before bedtime. The frequency of toothbrushing was calculated as the number of toothbrushing events per day. Completion of an oral examination during the last 12 months was surveyed using self-questionnaires.
Number of remaining teeth and periodontitis.
The subjects were surveyed about whether they had lost any of their natural teeth. We also counted the number of remaining teeth. Periodontitis status was diagnosed when the community periodontal index (CPI) was greater than or equal to "code 3," which means that at least one dental site had a greater than 3.5-mm periodontal pocket, as per the definition set by the World Health Organization. The numbers of index teeth were 11, 16, 17, 26, 27, 31, 36, 37, 46, and 47. The appropriate CPI probe was used by trained dentists in accordance with the World Health Organization guidelines [28]. The inter-examiner mean Kappa value was 0.89 (0.55–1.00) [29].
To analyze their general characteristics, subjects were divided into two groups depending on their total number of natural teeth: The group 1: the 20 or more teeth group (≥20), and the group 2: the less than 20 teeth group (<20). According to many other studies, having at least 20 natural teeth is required for the satisfactory function and esthetics [30–32].
The data were presented as either means ± standard errors (SE) for continuous variables or as percentages (SE) for categorical variables. We classified four education levels: 6 or less years of education (elementary school (≤6)), 7 to 9 years of education (middle school (7–9)), 10 to 12 years of education (high school (10–12)), and 13 or more years of education (≥13), The economic levels were divided in four (Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4) We analyzed the remaining number of teeth groups with education and economic quartiles using Chi-square tests and general linear modeling. Oral-health behaviors according to SES quartile were analyzed with Chi-square tests. Using analysis of variance tests, the relationships between mean number of remaining teeth and income and education levels were analyzed in three different adjusted models. Model 1 was adjusted for age and sex. Model 2 was adjusted for age, sex, BMI, current smoking status, alcohol consumption habits, regular exercise, frequency of toothbrushing per day, use of extra oral hygiene products, presence of periodontitis, occupational status, and presence of metabolic syndrome. Model 3 was adjusted for the covariates in model 2 plus education or income levels. Multivariate logistic regression was applied to obtain odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for the ≥20 teeth group according to income and education levels after adjusting for age, sex, BMI, smoking, alcohol intake, physical activity, periodontitis, occupation, frequency of tooth brushing, metabolic syndrome, income and educational levels. Because of our survey procedure and complex sampling design we used SAS version 9.2 (SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, USA) to estimate risks and associations for the entire Korean population. All the statistical tests were two-tailed, and a p<0.05 was considered statistically significant.
General characteristics of subjects are shown in Table 1. The group with fewer than 20 remaining teeth (group 2) present significantly higher average age, mean WC, lower rates of alcohol consumption, physical activity and employment (all p<0.05) than the group with 20 or more remaining teeth (group 1). Additionally, the percentage of subjects with metabolic syndrome, periodontitis, lower income (Q1), and lower educational level (≤6 years) were higher in the group 2 than in the group 1 (all p<0.05). The number of toothbrusing time per day, remaining teeth and percentage of subject with receiving regular oral examination and regular exercise were significantly higher in the group 1 than group 2. (all p<0.05).
Table 1. Subjects' general characteristics according to number of remaining teeth.
Fig 1 shows the proportion of the two teeth groups according to the four income and education levels. As income and education levels increased, the proportion of subjects in the ≥20 teeth group increased while the <20 teeth group decreased (all p-values and p for trends <0.001).
Fig 1. Remaining-teeth group proportions of income and education quartiles.
Both p<0.001. Both p for trend <0.001.
As income and educational levels increased, the proportion of subjects who brushed their teeth 2 or less times per day decreased, while the proportion of subjects who brushed their teeth more than 2 times per day increased (both p<0.001). The number of subjects who used extra oral hygiene products and received regular oral-health examinations also increased as income and educational levels increased (all p<0.001) (Tables 2 and 3).
Table 2. Oral health behaviors as proportions of income quartiles.
Table 3. Oral health behaviors as proportions of educational levels.
Table 4 shows the mean number of remaining teeth according to income and education levels. After adjusting for all covariates, as income and education increased, the number of remaining teeth increased (p<0.001 and 0.003, respectively, and p for trend <0.001).
Table 4. Mean number of remaining teeth according to income and education quartiles.
Fig 2 shows the multivariate adjusted ORs for having ≥20 remaining teeth according to each of the four income and education levels. Regarding the reference categories (income Q1 and education ≤6 years), the ORs for ≥20 remaining teeth increased as income and education levels increased after adjusting for all covariates (OR = 1.49 and OR = 1.57 in incomes Q3 and Q4, respectively, and OR = 1.76 and OR = 2.18 in education levels 10–12yrs and ≥13yrs, respectively). 95% confidence interval.
Fig 2. Multivariate adjusted odds ratios for having ≥20 remaining teeth according to each of the four income and education levels.
Both p for trend <0.001. This model adjusted for age, sex, BMI, current smoking, alcohol drinking, regularexercises, frequency of tooth brushing, periodontitis, occupation, metabolic syndrome, education, and income.
In this study, the number of remaining teeth was significantly higher among participants in the upper income and education quartiles. Also, the 20 or more teeth group had a significantly higher percentage of people who were currently employed, had a regular exercise habit, had a lower WC, and lower rates of metabolic syndrome and periodontitis than the less than 20 teeth group. Income and education levels were higher in people with good oral-health behaviors, such as toothbrushing more than three times per day and receiving regular dental examinations.
Tooth loss results from various factors, including general health behaviors, medical health status, and SES [17, 22, 33–38]. Low SES was associated with increased tooth loss among elderly Americans [17], while increasing education level was found to be inversely associated with tooth loss in a US cohort study [38]. In a Brazilian study, low and middle SES were associated with more tooth loss compared with high SES [22, 39]. Some studies found that tooth loss may be a manifestation of socio-economic inequalities at the individual level and across ethnicities [37, 40–42]. In the elderly American population, poverty and minority race/ethnicity were significantly associated with oral-health disparities [17]. Hispanic and black adults were less likely to have routine dental examinations than non-Hispanic white adults, and they were at increased risk for poor oral health [17]. In affluent areas, disparities in tooth retention were negligible, but in poor neighborhoods, substantial variation in tooth retention between individuals was found based on their level of income. Living in a low SES neighborhood or not receiving regular dental care was associated with tooth loss [22, 23]. However, other studies found contrary associations or no association between tooth loss and SES, and that association patterns differed according to ethnicity [21–23, 43]. Poverty and education are not associated with number of missing teeth among Hispanic or black adults, while non–Hispanic white adults with lower SES presented with greater tooth loss [17]. Susin et al. reported that having four or more missing teeth was significantly associated with number of teeth with caries/fillings in a young Brazilian population [44]. Early oral-health education is warranted to save natural teeth as well as to improve general health behaviors.
The mechanism underlying the association between tooth loss and SES is general health behavior. Elderly Australians with a history of smoking had higher odds for tooth loss, but the risk declined as time since smoking cessation increased [33]. Other studies also showed that smoking was associated with tooth loss [39, 44]. Klein et al. have found that smoking and heavy alcohol consumption were associated with tooth loss [38]. In general, these poor health behaviors are common in subjects with low SES [45], while higher SES subjects exercised general health behaviors that promoted tooth maintenance, such as more frequent toothbrushing [1, 46]. Many previous studies showed an association between oral health and SES [15–17, 21] and, in this study, subjects with high SES had good oral health and received regular oral examinations. Use of fluoridated toothpaste and toothbrushing were associated with more remaining teeth in Lithuania [47], and in Denmark, toothbrushing more than two times per day was associated with more routine dental visits, more consistent dental care, and higher education level [48]. In a Taiwanese study, it was observed that regular toothbrushing, use of extra oral hygiene products such as dental floss and mouthwash, and receiving dental scaling were associated with having more remaining teeth [49]. It has also been shown that middle-aged Brazilian adults who had not visited a dentist in the last three years had a 33.5% increased risk for tooth loss [22]. Other researchers have shown that poor oral health behaviors were associated with increased prevalence of periodontitis [50] and metabolic syndrome [2, 16], which are also associated with increased systemic inflammation [51–53] due to cytokine production, such as tumor necrosis factor-α and interleukins-1 and -6 [54, 55], that also increased tooth loss.
There are several limitations in this study. First, this is a cross-sectional study and we cannot identify causal relationships. Second, we did not evaluate inflammatory markers as a mechanism of this relationship. Third, we could not obtain further information about individual causes of tooth loss from the subjects. However, this study has some strength. The subjects of this study are a representative sample of the whole Korean population using the KNHANES. Korea is a relatively ethnically homogenous population therefore, we could exclude racial/ethnical biases in the relationship between SES and number of remaining teeth. Also, we adjusted for several covariates that are known to be associated with number of remaining teeth from many previous studies.
In conclusion, low SES is associated with significant tooth loss. A greater proportion of subjects with higher SES presented with good health behaviors and greater numbers of remaining teeth than did low SES subjects. Oral healthcare professionals should educate their patients regarding the importance of proper oral-health behaviors for preventing tooth loss, especially their low SES patients. Further prospective studies are needed to evaluate the mechanisms and the relationships between SES and tooth loss, and to develop interventions to preserve remaining teeth.

Local Mum Sharon Martin has found a career as a hypnotherapist that allows her to help others and achieve personal fulfilment and work/life balance
When Sharon Martin's daughter started school she decided to change her career and embark on a profession which would help others while giving her greater personal fulfilment and a better work/life balance.�
"I studied at St Mary's University, Twickenham," explains Sharon. "Where I gained a Diploma in Higher Education, with distinction, in Clinical Hypnotherapy." �
Sharon now runs her own local company Calm Focus�where she provides hypnotherapy for infertility, HypnoBirthing™ courses and infant massage. "I love the freedom of being able to help others while doing a job I love - and be there for my family at the same time," says Sharon.
Fertility and childbirth
Sharon has also undertaken further in-depth study into advanced hypnotherapy and the use of hypnotherapy for fertility and childbirth. "I am an affiliated member of the HypnoBirthing™ Institute through which I am a Certified HypnoBirthing™ Practitioner and HypnoBirthing™ Fertility Therapist," says Sharon. "I am �also a Fertile Body Method Practitioner."
In February 2012 Sharon was awarded an Advanced Diploma in Hypnotherapy (AdvDipH) by The Academy of Advanced Changework in recognition of training to advanced practitioner level in the art and science of hypnotherapy.
Sharon has recently added infant massage to the therapies she offers at�Calm Focus. In April 2013 she started the process of training to be an Infant Massage Instructor with the International Association of Infant Massage.�
"Following an extensive training programme I received my certification in Infant Massage in August 2013," says Sharon. "It feels like a natural progression from my work with mums before �the birth of their babies to helping them create a calm and special bonding time with their babies through the well-known benefits of infant massage."
The IAIM infant massage course draws from both the Indian and Swedish massage traditions, as well as incorporating principles from yoga and reflexology. "All sessions are baby-led and take place in the privacy of your own home," adds Sharon. "You can invite mum friends to join you too so they and their babies can enjoy the benefits and also share the cost."

NRL Finals Week Two Review And Talking Points
Sep 20, 2011 League Freak National Rugby League 0
It was a fantastic week of Rugby League and one that will be remembered for some time.
The Warriors vs Tigers game was fantastic. The Broncos vs Dragons game was even better!
There were so many great stories as a backdrop to these games as well. It is what makes this time of the year so good. If you win, you move on. If you lose, thats it, the season is over.
That sort of stark, black and white consequence that hangs over everything that happens at this time of the year, that is what makes NRL Finals time so amazing.
So lets have a look at the two games and a couple of other things happening is the game as well.
The New Zealand Warriors Defeat The West Tigers 22-20
I tipped a Warriors win in this game and it was pretty clear cut. When the Warriors played up the middle of the field and challenged the Tigers pack around the ruck, they were unstoppable.
The West Tigers have one of the softest forward packs in the competition. Only the Gold Coast Titans have a softer pack. Hell, the supposed best forward in the West Tigers side plays out in the centers all bloody day!
Normally Benji Marshall has the brilliance to overcome this, but in the finals, it was one step too many and the Warriors got a well deserved win.
I really like the look of the Warriors and I think Lance Hohaia just added that little bit of extra direction to the team and play making ability. I think it was Mark Geyer who mentions earlier this year, the South Sydney Rabbitoh could do worse then getting Lance Hohaia to play in the halves for them next year. Hey, its better than nothing!
A lot has been made of Manu Vatuvei performance. I'm sorry but, I'm not going to throw a street parade every time the bloke doesn't have a calamitous performance. He did the job he is very well paid to do.
The Warriors are going to be a great test for the Melbourne Storm next week. As for the Tigers, they will be so much better next year for having Adam Blair in the side and Groat with more experience under his belt.
The Brisbane Broncos Defeat The St George/Illawarra Dragons 13-12
What a bloody great game of Rugby League! The Dragons tried their guts out, the Broncos looked dominant but just couldn't rack up the points. Great attack, great defense and an ending that will be remembered for a long time.
The sight of Brett Morris soaring high kamikaze style for a bomb and landing on a broken leg, done for the season, that takes balls.
Then we had Darren Lockyer, flat on his back, trying to hold his face together. The image of him struggling to his feet, looking down field at his team mates, waving the trainers away and he clinched his jaw and jogged back into the attack, amazing.
He knew his face was broken. His team mates knew, hell, he wasn't able to talk to them. The Dragons knew, everyone knew. Yet, when it comes down to it, when the game was on the line, Darren Lockyer came through again and won the game. Amazing!
Its still 50/50 on whether he will play on the weekend against Manly. My head says he can't. Everything I know about Darren Lockyer says he will.
As for the Dragons, they can start 2012 with a committed coach and committed players. That is a big difference from what happened this year.
Justin Hodges Hit On An Injured Brett Morris
Brett Morris catches the goal line drop out by the Brisbane Broncos and clearly injured his leg. He falls the the ground, still in possession of the ball and Justin Hodges comes in and hits him in a grounding tackle.
I have no problem with what happened what so ever.
First of all, it wasn't like Hodges lined him up with a 40 meter run and crushed Morris, which he could have done and still would have had every right to do. He hit him hard enough, but what do you expect? This is an NRL Finals game! The winner is 80 minutes away from the Grand Final and the loser is done for the season.
Should Hodges have hit him like he did? Yes. Without question.
This is a game that went to Golden Point Extra Time. This was a close match.
Brett Morris knows better than anyone else after his performance in the State Of Origin, to win these big games, you have to go after them. You can't stand back and be a spectator.
Phil Gould Calls For David Gallops Head
This wasn't a shock. Gould doesn't like Gallop for what ever reason and that is fine. They are both big boys, they can look after themselves.
However, Phil Gould is now employed by the Penrith Panthers in a very senior role, and as such, when he calls for the head of David Gallop, like it or not, he is doing so as a spokesman for the Penrith Panthers.
As a Panthers fan it does not sit well with me to have the Penrith Panthers General Manager publicly calling for the head of Gallop. Our club needs to be able to worth with the NRL and its CEO and to have a high profile administrator of the club constantly attacking the NRL is not going to do us any favours at all.
Also, if Gould wants to attack David Gallop, go right ahead, but wear it yourself. Constant references to the silent majority who supposedly feel the same way is a really bad look. If they are too gutless to stand up and say it themselves, its not Goulds job to be a voice for these people. Especially while he is wearing a Penrith Panthers blazer.
Falling Out And Not Talking To Anyone
It astounds me the amount of times you hear about people within the game having a falling out and not talking again. Seriously, some people in this sport act like teenage girls sometimes!
As a man, I can have a full on argument with someone about a lot of things, and front up to them again the very next day.
Because I'm not some unique and delicate flower who's feelings need cradled in strawberry scented bubbles just to get by in life!
There are some people in this sport that need to man up, put their fragile little insecurities aside and just go on with their fucking job.

The Acting Chairman of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, (EFCC), Ibrahim Magu, yesterday defended the Commission's 2019 budget proposal of N22, 070,514,431.00, before the National Assembly's House Committee on Anti-corruption and Financial Crimes.
In his presentation, Magu noted that incomplete releases of both approved overhead and capital estimates, have negatively impacted the ability of the Commission to meet its pressing needs and obligations. He said that only 54.17% was released in 2018 while only 40.06% of capital has been released so far with only two and half months to go to the end of extended 2018 capital budget year.
'This year's figure represents a 16.38% decrease from the 2018 budget of N26, 392,396,279.00, and a rise of 14% in the personnel cost proposal from 12.717 billion in 2018 to 14.491billion this year', he added. According to Magu, the increase in personnel cost, accommodates the salaries and allowances of 970 additional staff currently being trained at the Nigerian Defence Academy, NDA, Kaduna and expected to be fully enrolled on the personnel cost platform in 2019.
The additional staff, according to Magu, comprised 332 Assistant Detective Superintendents, 293 Assistant Detective Inspectors and 95 support staff that recently joined the Commission.
The EFCC boss expressed disappointment that the EFCC's overhead cost which the Budget Office reduced from N7.3billion to N3.6billion was grossly inadequate for the Commission in view of the increased running cost, occasioned by developments such as the opening of three additional zonal offices, planned introduction of group staff life insurance of N650million, huge outlays on generator fuel cost, increase in airfares, proposed 60% increase in the rates of duty tour allowance (DTA) payable to staff on official assignment.
He sees the approved capital budget expenditure as inadequate in the face of the Commission's N2.02billion outstanding liabilities to Julius Berger; N1.5billion cost runs on its new head office complex; N0.299billion liabilities for consultancy on new head office; N0.47billion for purchase of security equipment (ammunition); N1.1billion on furnishing of new head office building; development of the permanent site of the EFCC Academy, Lafia; renovation of the old EFCC head office building, Wuse 2, Abuja, and the renovation of the Lagos Zonal Offices.
These, according to Magu, "are in addition to recoveries of various sums in other currencies, other assets, jewelleries (gold) and recoveries for major government agencies including NNPC and AMCON." Within the first quarter of the current year, 2019, the Commission, he said, has made recoveries which included: N140.7million in cash, N2.021billion in direct deposits, N7.20billion in tax recoveries, N3.06billion in subsidy recoveries and $0.292billion.
Magu noted that the Commission was challenged in the areas of huge maintenance cost of the new head office building; inadequate resources to manage a huge and growing fixed asset forfeiture base and inadequate ICT infrastructure, adding that "there is presently the complete absence of internet services at the New Head Office and zonal offices, including other related ICT service deliveries".
In his response, the Chairman, House Committee on Anti-corruption and Financial Crimes, Hon. Kayode Oladele, who led other committee members, described the 2018 budget performance of the Commission as a huge success.

New digital asset reporting requirements
Tax News Highlights
| 12/9/2021
The bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act signed into law on Nov. 15, 2021, includes new reporting requirements for virtual currency and other digital assets. The new requirements include expanding broker reporting under IRC Section 6045 to include digital assets as well as expanding IRC Section 6050I reporting to cover a trade or business that receives more than $10,000 in digital assets. The act also broadly defines digital assets. The new IRC Section 6045(g)(3)(D) provides that "[e]xcept as otherwise provided by the Secretary, the term 'digital asset' means any digital representation of value which is recorded on a cryptographically secured distributed ledger or any similar technology as specified by the Secretary."
Sign up to receive the latest tax insights as well as tax regulatory and administrative updates.
Following are highlights of the new provisions.
Broker reporting for digital assets
IRC Section 6045 generally requires that each person doing business as a broker files and furnishes information returns (Form 1099-B, "Proceeds From Broker and Barter Exchange Transactions") to report information about each customer, gross proceeds, and other details as required by regulations.
IRC Section 6045(g) requires cost-basis reporting with respect to covered securities, which are specified securities acquired after a certain date (either 2011, 2012, or 2013). Specified securities could include stocks, debt instruments, options, and securities futures contracts.
In addition, IRC Section 6045A generally requires transfer reporting, whereby brokers who transfer specified securities provide a transfer statement to the receiving broker. The transfer statement includes information about the specified security, the customer, the transferor, and the recipient. Transfer statements must be provided within 15 days of the settlement of the transfer.
Changes made by the act
Prior to the act's enactment, IRC Section 6045(c) defined broker to include "a dealer, a barter exchange, and any other person who (for a consideration) regularly acts as a middleman with respect to property or services."
The act expands the definition of broker to include "any person who (for consideration) is responsible for regularly providing any service effectuating transfers of digital assets on behalf of another person." The act also adds digital assets acquired on or after Jan. 1, 2023, to the list of covered securities subject to cost-basis reporting. As a result, digital assets acquired on or after Jan. 1, 2023, are subject to transfer reporting under IRC Section 6045A.
The act also expands transfer reporting by amending IRC Section 6045A to provide that "[a]ny broker, with respect to any transfer (which is not part of a sale or exchange executed by such broker) during a calendar year of a covered security which is a digital asset from an account maintained by such broker to an account which is not maintained by, or an address not associated with, a person that such broker knows or has reason to know is also a broker, shall make a return for such calendar year, in such form as determined by the Secretary, showing the information otherwise required to be furnished with respect to transfers subject to [transfer reporting]."
These changes are effective for information returns required to be filed and statements required to be furnished after Dec. 31, 2023.
Digital assets treated as cash for $10,000 reporting
Unless an exception applies, IRC Section 6050I requires any person who receives more than $10,000 in cash in the course of their trade or business to file Form 8300, "Report of Cash Payments Over $10,000 Received in a Trade or Business," and to provide a written statement to the payer. Civil and criminal penalties may apply for failure to comply with IRC Section 6050I.
The act expands IRC Section 6050I to include digital assets. These changes are effective for information returns required to be filed and statements required to be furnished after Dec. 31, 2023.
These new rules are effective in 2023, slightly more than a year from now. Generally, filers need significant lead time to comply with new information reporting requirements. The time needed to comply is even longer when the requirements are novel and apply to those who previously did not have filing requirements, as is the case with digital assets. In addition, challenges with meeting information reporting requirements, such as obtaining necessary information from payees, could be significant for certain digital asset transactions, especially those involving decentralized finance.
To further complicate matters, the terms "broker" and "digital asset" are broadly defined in the act. Taxpayers will not have certainty about whether they are subject to the new reporting requirements until the U.S. Department of the Treasury and the IRS provide guidance. However, guidance might not be provided until well into 2022. Additionally, members of Congress have raised the idea of enacting legislation to narrow the definition of broker. Uncertainty about whether Congress will amend these new provisions also could delay the guidance process.
Given the short time before these provisions become effective and the current lack of guidance, it is important that participants in the digital asset ecosystem consider whether they might be subject to the new reporting requirements and, if so, evaluate their systems and processes to identify changes that would need to be made to comply.

At AV Conversion Services we can convert your audio cassettes and vinyl records to an mp3, CD disc, or WAV file, preserving and restoring their sound. By converting the tape or record to a CD or mp3, the audio can be improved as well. When the audio sound is improved, the other noises in the background are diminished. When digitized, the noise filters applied will minimize any humming or crackling sounds still being heard. The vocal levels of the cassette tape are increased so to balance out the audio level on the digital file format.
AV Conversion Services will upload your audio tapes that are reel-to-reel into new CDs. Your reel-to-reel tapes will improve their sound when converted to CDs. The audio will be optimized, thereby reducing the noise usually present. After digitization, noise reduction filters can be applied. Since noise filters are used, there is less humming and hissing sounds. The volume level can then be balanced.

At York Hospital, at least 12 people were infected. Six died.
Wendell Blake of Delta, talks about the side effects he endures while taking 11 different medications daily to help fight his nontuberculous mycobacteria, or NTM.
LivaNova, a company that makes a medical device used in open-heart surgery that was linked to bacterial infections at York Hospital and others in the United States, has agreed to settle 75 percent of the lawsuits related to the machine for $225 million.
At York Hospital, at least 12 people were infected. Six died. One man who developed an infection once described in an interview, "I was turning gray like I was going to die."
In a recent filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission, LivaNova stated that it was aware of about 210 "filed and unfiled claims" worldwide. It's unclear how much each patient will receive in the settlement.
"We believe entering into the settlement is in the best interest of the Company, its shareholders and patients, because it will remove ongoing costs and uncertainty as we focus on executing our strategy to deliver quality care to patients around the world," LivaNova CEO Damien McDonald said in a statement on March 29.
In 2015, York Hospital notified about 1,300 patients who had open-heart surgery between Oct. 1, 2011, and July 24, 2015, that they could've been exposed to nontuberculous mycobacteria, or NTM.
The bacteria are commonly found in nature. But they can cause infections in people who are sick or have weakened immune systems.
York Hospital has since switched to using a machine from another manufacturer.
Ryan Coyle, a spokesman for WellSpan Health, said in an email that it has seen no additional cases.
"We have been, and continue to be, committed to ensuring our patients have all the information, care and treatment they need regarding this issue," Coyle said. "Beyond that, we do not comment on pending or active litigation."
Then, Penn State Hershey Medical Center alerted about 2,300 people who had open-heart surgery between Nov. 5, 2011, and Nov. 5, 2015, that they could've been exposed to the same bacteria.
Two patients later died. But their deaths were not linked to the infections, the center stated at the time. It was not clear on Friday whether any additional cases were reported.
More hospitals, including Penn Presbyterian Medical Center in Philadelphia, later discovered infections in patients.

'The right way': Ohio State's Cedric Russell refuses to take the easy path
Adam Jardy
Cedric Russell is no stranger to hearing his name called inside the Cajundome. Scoring 688 of his 1,409 career points at Louisiana's home arena, that was essentially background noise for four years.
The last time was different. On Aug. 6, Russell walked across the stage for summer commencement, officially bringing his time at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette to an end. And on this day, he wasn't just one of 332 Ragin' Cajuns to earn his degree.
Russell was the first on his late grandmother's side of the family to get one.
"Rest her soul, but I know that definitely made her happy, her being able to watch over me and watch me walk across that stage," Russell said. "It brought peace to her. To be able to do that in front of my family, my friends, my son, it was definitely an emotional day, but it felt good."
And yet, it nearly didn't come to pass for Russell, whose path to Ohio State has been anything but straightforward.
Taking a shot at the pros
After what had been his most successful collegiate season, Russell sat down with Louisiana coach Bob Marlin to discuss what would come next. With the extra year of eligibility afforded to all players due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Russell was staring down a chance to cement himself as an all-time great for the program. With nine more games and six more three-pointers, he would be the school's all-time leader in both categories.
But with a growing family, Russell, who's whose oldest son was born while he was a senior in high school, began to explore the idea of turning pro.
"Initially he was looking to try to get a tryout with an NBA team or to go overseas and play," Marlin said. "From our research, the overseas market wasn't quite good enough to make that leap."
Deciding against turning pro would be only a temporary reprieve for Marlin's program. On May 20, word got out that Ohio State coach Chris Holtmann was hiring assistant coach Tony Skinn from Seton Hall to complete his coaching staff. Formerly of Louisiana Tech, Skinn had recruited Russell out of high school and then coached against him in college.
As a result, a little more than a month later, on June 30, Russell asked if he could meet with Marlin. It was the day before the deadline for players to enter the transfer portal and retain their immediate eligibility for the upcoming season.
"We sat and talked from 8:45 until 11 o'clock, and he had trouble talking to me," Marlin said. "He was crying, he was emotional, and as usual I tried to play dad, put my arm around him and see what he was thinking."
Russell wanted a shot at an NCAA Tournament run, something Marlin said is in the cards after adding talent in the transfer portal. He also wanted a chance to show scouts his game, something Marlin said won't be a problem with NBA scouts visiting frequently to see the likes of Arizona transfer Jordan Brown (a 2017 McDonald's All-American) and Theo Akwuba (reigning Sun Belt defensive player of the year). Athlon Sports projects Louisiana as the favorite to win the Sun Belt West.
Ultimately, the chance to play for the Buckeyes would win out. Russell assured Marlin that he was making the decision for himself, not for an agent or outside influence, and a little more than a week later, his commitment to Ohio State was official.
"That was the biggest thing, making sure I didn't burn any bridges here because they really took care of me these last four years," Russell said. "Finishing up here (at Louisiana) and making sure I exited the right way and come up there ready to work."
It was tough for Marlin to lose a player he was so close with, but the veteran coach said he appreciated how Russell handled his exit. Mylik Wilson, Russell's backcourt mate last season, transferred to Texas Tech during the offseason and entered the portal without so much as a goodbye.
Not so for Russell.
"Cedric came in there and said, 'Coach, I'm not gonna do like Malik. That wasn't right,' " Marlin said. "That's the kind of kid Cedric is. He cares. He's a tenderhearted kid."
Now, he just had to get that degree first.
Up against the deadline
In order to graduate from Louisiana, students are supposed to apply for their diplomas one semester prior to commencement. In April, when Russell opted not to turn pro, he did not apply to graduate during the summer because he wasn't planning to transfer.
Suddenly, it was July, and Russell was aiming to finish off a diploma in sports management in little more than a month. In addition to an internship that had him working with a local high school coach, Russell had three July classes, all of which required plenty of paperwork.
In roughly 20 days, Russell said, he had 25 one-page papers and an additional 20-page paper for one class. His internship required a six-page paper. Health class required two four-page papers and, finally, a writing course required two three-page papers.
Commencement was on a Friday. He turned in his final assignments Wednesday night.
"It was super, super crazy," Russell said.
The frenetic final days kept Russell from properly inviting everyone in his family, but his mom, sisters, auntie and cousins were there. So was C.J., his 4-year-old son.
"I still feel like I haven't accomplished enough yet," Russell said. "It's like, 'OK, what's next? Let's knock something else out.' My words to my son is never get complacent with anything. You can control what's in your head and your knowledge, and that's your power."
That self-belief was something Russell exhibited himself as a senior at Alexandria (Louisiana) Peabody Magnet. That's when he became a father and opted to de-commit from LSU in part so he could be closer to his son.
Russell's father wasn't around for much of his life. By getting his college degree while also being a hands-on father, Russell has twice broken the mold. Marlin used the same word numerous times when discussing his now-former player: maturity.
"He has always tried to be the best father that he can be," the coach said. "It's important to him. He's got two children and they have been to our practices. We've had guys change their diapers when they were super young. Cedric wanted a better situation for his children than maybe he had or just more father time. He's done a good job in that area."
He'll be away from his family: C.J., who "can tell you how many teeth every dinosaur you can think of had," is in preschool.
Russell will vie for a role in a wide-open Buckeyes backcourt. At Louisiana, he was guaranteed to be the guy taking most of the shots, the one with the full trust of his longtime coach.
Now he's starting over and betting on himself like he always has.
"One thing I learned at an early age, and my mom really instilled in me, is pain is temporary," he said. "It don't last, and if it don't kill you, it definitely makes you stronger. That's my mindset with a lot of things."
It's gotten Russell this far.

Hello tea friends! It feels like I have been away so long. Let's just say I've been in house moving hell where the only tea I've been making (although rarely drinking) is the above.
Have you tried Teasmith at Spitalfields? Curious if it's a good experience. Love your blog.
Thanks Anon. I have been to Teasmith. They have a lovely selection of teas (many blended and sourced by the lovely Tim at Postcard Teas). It's very much a zen tea experience. Beautifully brewed and easy to appreciate but not a comfy tea and cake type of spot. You sit on stools at the counter so I tend not to feel as though it's a place to linger - although the staff are friendly and the tea is top notch (they even have some rather delicious tea chocolates...).

* Scope of solar lighting includes mostly staircases, lobbies, common-area, parking grounds, garden lights and also street lights. Moreover , if you replace with LED lights, your apartment can get return on investment in as low as 2 years.
It is also a good idea to replace your costly DG ( diesel generator) backup with solar backup facility. This , not only brings down the costs but also reduce your carbon footprint.
For individual apartments, you can also get started without formal rooftop solar installation. There are easy-to -install, plug-in solar generators available that need not be fixed to a roof! Hence, You can generate your electricity from your garden, balcony, or anywhere under the sun!
(a) Grid- connectivity :- whether it is an On-grid or Off –grid system.
Accordingly there are differences in charges pertaining to the kind of inverter used and the inclusion of batteries.
(b) Incentives/ subsidies available from the government and other sources.
Approximate cost of a solar PV module is between Rs. 30 –50 per watt in India.
(a) Grid-connected systems allow the user to get awarded by way of ' Net Metering"for any surplus production in electricity.
(b) Customers using solar energy as a specified part of their total electricity consumption can be benefited by consuming electricity in the lower slab of tariff chart.
(c) As an example , consider a small household with 10 units( kWhr) of consumption per day.
1. Capex ( Capital Expenditure) :- Rs 2, 00,000.( approximately).
Plan according to your budget and be an own producer of electricity.
The PV solar modules must face true south (for India). On an average, sunlight Provides useful energy for 6-7 hrs /day and 1 sq. meter of earth's surface (when exposed to direct sunlight) gets 1kW of power .
Elevation (more solar radiation as elevation increases), Shading (buildings and other features of local landscapes) can drastically reduce/damage the usable solar radiation.
Go through your electricity bills over the past few months and scrutinize the electrical appliances currently present and their corresponding operation times.
Look into the "Meter reading" and the "Total Units Consumed" in your electricity bill. Then, see whether your final bill matches with the units consumed, (based on the present tariff rates ).
Remember, Energy consumed /month = Electricity bill/cost per unit in (kWh).
Just for your information, a typical Indian household has around 1010 kWhr of energy consumption !
After knowing your electricity consumption ( at least roughly) it's on your discretion to decide how much solar power will you need - whether it will include all electrical outlets in your home, or maybe just the washroom, or would you like to use solar just as a backup power supply.
The Indian government is offering several tax and financial incentives to support the rooftop solar market, GOI plans to have additional installed capacity of 175 GW of renewable energy by 2022, out of which 100 GW through solar energy. Continue reading "Incentives and government policies for solar users"
The 2008 financial crisis and the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster provided the much needed boost to solar power generation albeit for different reasons. After the meltdown of world economies during the 2008 crisis countries world over used solar adoption as one of the platforms to boost spending on infrastructure and provide employment. After the 2011 tsunami related accident, governments (especially Japan and Germany) wanted to move away from nuclear power plants towards the safer solar alternative.
Continue reading "India vs World Solar Adoption"
You are convinced about the benefits of solar but are now curious about how it works. You are at the right place to get a very high level overview of this exciting area !
Continue reading "Know how Solar Technology Works"
Environmental concerns and ecological benefits of using solar is another topic of interest with regards to solar adoption.
Researchers conclude that based on comparative life-cycle analyses of power sources, PV electricity contributes 96 percent to 98 percent less greenhouse gases than electricity generated from 100 percent coal .
Traditional electricity is sourced from fossil fuels such as coal and natural gas. When fossil fuels are burned to create energy, they emit toxic gases which are the primary cause of pollution and global warming.Installing solar panels on your home helps combat greenhouse gas emissions and reduces our collective dependence on fossil fuel.
