"The experiences that I had at Assumption, both in and out of the classroom, were an integral part of my preparation for the internship at Loftware Inc. My studies at Assumption provided me with the skills to overcome any challenges that I faced, and I even used completed project work from Assumption during the interview process."


In SAP you create your General ledger account of Income, expenses, assets and liabilities.However for each sunder debtors , sundry creditors, assets account we donot open separate GL account.
Exactly what we do we create reconciliation account for debtors , creditors , assets account using FS00 and all vendor master created through fk01/xk01 are getting reconciliation account linked.
hence reconcilation account are general ledger account opened as subledger account for self-balancing. To ensure self-balancing in Reconcilation account you cannot enter direct posting. In this way, SAP ensures a reconciliation between subledger and general ledger.
G/L account 150000 is defined as a reconciliation account. In the vendor account 5793, the G/L account 150000 is determined as a reconciliation account.
In this way, all postings to vendor account 5793 are also posted automatically to the G/L account 150000. The G/L account itself is not designed for direct posting. In this way, a reconciliation between subledger and general ledger is always guaranteed.
Reconciliation account can be defined as a summarisation GL account for the Vendor and Customer Sub-Ledgers.
In the Vendor and Customer Master data we assign the Reconcilation account so that whatever transactions are posted in the subledgers and reflected in the reconcilation account.
You can use the search functionality of the SDN forum for getting details. Before posting a thread it is advisable to check for the message in the SDN forum.
You can get details in the SAP library also.
Reconciliation a/c is a general ledger which is assigned to sub ledger master record to record all transactions of subledger online.
In Balance sheet mention the reconciliation a/c balance in current assets/current lby instead of showing all vendors/customers balances individually.

Polar Air offers a wide range of desiccant air dryers, the smallest of which are specially designed and manufactured to fit into any space where there is a need for compressed dry air with a dew point as low as -40°C.
These units can be wall mounted close to an electricity source that can provide power to the dryer's electronics as well as the operation of all solenoid controlled valves used on the drying system.
These dryers are installed as close as possible to the point of use and will remove water vapour formed in the air line even if there is a main dryer installed at the compressor. Water does get formed in the air line depending on the distance the air has to travel.
Point of use air dryers comes in 3 different sizes – the AD 10, AD 15 and AD 20 models – starting with as low a flow of 3m³/h up to 22m³/h. This is measured at 6 bar operation pressure, and all come complete in a cabinet of 500mm x 220mm x 600mm.
Specifying the right sized air dryer for your needs.

FACT Comments to Treasury/IRS in Support of Proposed 'Serial Inverter' Rule
Rule Would Help Address Problem of Corporate Tax Inversions
The FACT Coalition submitted comments in support of a proposal from the U.S. Department of the Treasury to combat an egregious corporate tax avoidance technique known as serial inverters. The rule is one of two Treasury proposals aimed at combatting so-called corporate tax inversions. FACT also submitted comments supporting the other proposal, which targets "earnings stripping."
The full submission from the FACT Coalition can be read below, or downloaded here as a PDF.
Filed via http://www.regulations.gov
The Honorable Jacob J. Lew
Secretary of the Treasury
1500 Pennsylvania Avenue, NW
RE: Inversions and Related Transactions (REG-135734-14; Docket ID: IRS-2016-0015-0002; Docket RIN: 1545-BM45)
Dear Secretary Lew,
On behalf of the Financial Accountability and Corporate Transparency (FACT) Coalition, I am writing to support the Department of the Treasury's proposed rule on the Inversions and Related Transactions (REG-135734-14). We believe that a robust implementation of this rule will help curb abusive corporate tax avoidance by limiting the ability of companies to engage in corporate inversions.
The FACT Coalition is a non-partisan coalition of more than 100 state, national, and international organizations working toward a fair and honest tax system that addresses the challenges of a global economy and promotes policies to combat the harmful impacts of corrupt financial practices.
Corporate inversions have undermined the honesty and fairness of our tax code by allowing some companies to claim to be foreign for tax purposes, even if they are majority-owned and controlled by individuals in the United States. Treasury's proposed rule smartly targets companies which have engaged in multiple inversions because, with each new merger, these companies are able to acquire larger and larger firms without triggering the anti-inversion rules under Section 7874. By disregarding recent acquisitions or inversions, the rule will slow the momentum of companies attempting to engage in one inversion after another.
While legislation to curb inversions would be ideal, the political reality is that Congress is unlikely to act in the near term. Unfortunately, the many planned inversions—such as those by Pfizer, IHS, and Johnson Controls—show that immediate action is needed to prevent a significant erosion in the corporate tax base. In fact, analysts at Citizens for Tax Justice (CTJ)—a FACT Coalition member—estimate that, by preventing the Pfizer inversion, the proposed Treasury rule may have already saved U.S. taxpayers as much as $40 billion in taxes that the company could have avoided on the $194 billion that it has in untaxed offshore earnings.
To be clear, these actions are not just about one company. Pfizer could just be the tip of the iceberg as other companies (like IHS and Johnson Controls) seek to imitate its tax strategy. A recent study by CTJ found that U.S. companies likely owe as much as $695 billion on the $2.4 trillion in earnings they hold offshore. Given the substantial sum owed in taxes by these companies, allowing them to avoid taxes through the use of serial inversions could have negative implications on the tax base moving forward.
The gaming of our international tax system exacerbates economic inequality; drains revenue out of both developed and developing countries; hurts legitimate businesses, families, and communities; and undermines our country's ability to govern. It is time we eliminate this egregious offshore loophole to make sure that the corporations that benefit from all of the resources, protections, and markets in the United States pay their fair share of taxes.
Thank you for your careful consideration of this matter.

Key Words: Nitrogen, Sulfur, Application stages, Stover yield, Hybrid-maize.
Int. J. Biosci. 10(3), 199-208, March 2017.
Maize is the 2nd important crop after wheat in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. It needs greater amount of nutrients particularly nitrogen (N) and sulfur (S). Application of N and S at different growth stages enhances growth and yield of maize. Therefore, its effect in various ratios needs to be quantified on maize hybrid Babar. Four N levels (120, 160, 200, 240 kg ha-1), four S levels (20, 25, 30, 35 kg ha-1) applied in three ratios R1 (10:50:40), R2 (20:50:30) and R3 (30:50:20) i.e. 10, 20 and 30 % of required N and S were applied at sowing, 50% of required N and S were applied at V8, while 40, 30 and 20% of required N and S were applied at tasseling stage in R1, R2 and R3, ratios respectively. Combinations of all these treatments along with control were assessed in two year field experiments at Agronomy, Research Farm, The University of Agriculture Peshawar Pakistan. N, S and control vs. fertilized significantly affected days to silking (DTS), stover yield (SY) and soil electrical conductivity (EC) over the years, whereas days to 50% emergence (DTE) were non-significantly affected. Delayed DTS (66 days) were observed with application of 240 kg N ha-1, 30 kg S ha-1, 30:50:20 ratio of N and S application. Highest SY (7147 kg ha-1) was observed with application of 240 kg N ha-1, 35 kg S ha-1, R3 (30:50:20). Maximum soil EC (0.246 d S m-1) was observed with 240 kg N ha-1, 30 kg S ha-1, 30:50:20 ratio of N and S application. Application of 200 kg N ha-1, 35 kg S ha-1, R3 (30:50:20) performed better than other treatments and is recommended for obtaining higher yield of maize hybrid Babar in Peshawar valley.

Q: Get records who has only one record in foreign table with given condition I have contracts and territories table. They share one-to-many relationships
.
I am trying to create a query to get all contracts only in china.  That would basically return me all the contracts records for which there is only one corresponding record in territories table with name 'china'
If possible I would like to do this without group by. Because to simplify the question I have not included other complicated stuff which will eventually be part of this.
given the following sample data. I would like to get only contract4 as result:
**contracts**
contract_id name
1   contract1
2   contract2
3   contract3
4   contract4

**territories**
id  contract_id name
1   1   japan
2   1   china
3   1   india
4   2   japan
5   2   china
6   3   india
7   4   china

A: Here is a possible solution using join and partition:
    select contract_id from
    (select  c.*, t.name countryname ,
      ROW_NUMBER() OVER(PARTITION BY t.contract_id ORDER BY t.contract_id
      DESC)  rn
    from contracts c join territories t
    on c.contract_id = t.contract_id
    ) a
     where rn = 1 and countryname = 'china'

A: try like below by using corelated subquery
   select c.*,t.* from contracts c join territories t
    on c.Id = t.contract_id
    where  exists ( select 1 from territories t1
                      where t1.contract_id=t.contract_id
                      having count(distinct name)=1

                     ) and t.name='china'

A: You can use the below
select c.* from contracts c join territories t
    on c.Id = t.contract_id
    where not exists ( select 1 from territories t1
                      where t1.contract_id=t.contract_id
                      and t1.name <> 'china'

                     ) and t.name='china'

A: If all contracts have a territory, you can simply do:
select c.*
from contracts c
where not exists (select 1
                  from territories t
                  where t.contract_id = c.contract_id and
                        t.country <> 'china'
                 );

If you can have contracts with no territories, then you need to check that one actually exists:
select c.*
from contracts c
where not exists (select 1
                  from territories t
                  where t.contract_id = c.contract_id and
                        t.country <> 'china'
                 ) and
      exists (select 1
              from territories t
              where t.contract_id = c.contract_id and
                    t.country = 'china'
             );

If countries are repeated in the territories table, then this method does not require any additional work to eliminate duplicates in the result set.

BOYS SOCCER: Souderton slips past William Tennent
Todd Thorpe
tthorpe@theintell.com
FRANCONIA — Nick Marculo knew that there was a little bit of confusion going on and he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity.
So, the Souderton senior lined up and blasted a penalty kick into the corner of the net, giving the Indians all the cushion they needed to get past William Tennent 3-2 in a Suburban One League Continental Conference boys soccer game Tuesday.
"I knew there was a lot of confusion going on around me," Marculo said. "People were yelling at the ref, their coach (was on the field), their player was hurt.
"I just tried to look at the ground and block everything out and just concentrate."
Marculo's goal, after a foul was called against Tennent right in front of the goal, made it 3-1, but even that wasn't enough to make the home team feel all that comfortable in what was a tough and physical game.
Souderton coach Matt Benner knew that was the type of game his team could expect when going against Tennent for the first time since the Panthers moved over from the SOL National to the Continental this season.
"I think we have a lot of respect for every team in our conference, and William Tennent is a great addition to our conference," Benner said. "We used to play them years back when I played in school."
Not three minutes into the game, it was Tennent that grabbed the early lead as Mike Albers blasted in a restart.
"We just had to stay in it," Marculo said. "I knew it was a good shot.
"There's nothing we could do about it. We just knew we had to stay in it and play like it's 0-0."
Souderton came right back, as Tommy Sonn put one on net and Dylan Molyneaux beat Tennent keeper Brendan Hanratty to tie it up. Later in the half, Ben Campman scored for the Indians to make it 2-1 just before halftime.
"They weathered (the first goal)," said Tennent coach Ryan Todt. "They fought right back and, to their credit, they crashed the box well and got behind us a few times. We learned the hard way."
Marculo's penalty kick came seven minutes into second half to make it 3-1.
And even though Albers cut the lead back to one with his second restart goal later in the half, Souderton never gave up the momentum.
"I was really, really proud of our boys today," Benner said. "They showed a lot of heart with how they responded to that early goal.
"Giving up a goal three minutes into the game, unless you're really locked into play this game, it could have gone a different direction.
"To their credit, they just fought right back and got a goal within 10 minutes."

The Luxury Car Tax (LCT) is a tax within the Australian taxation system, collected by the Australian Taxation Office on behalf of the Australian Government. It began on 1 July 2001, having been brought in by the John Howard Coalition government.

Description
LCT is payable by businesses which sell or import luxury cars, unless the business's Australian Business Number (ABN) number is quoted in the correct format to the supplier or Customs.

LCT is charged in addition to the Goods and Services Tax (GST), but it is not payable on the full price of the vehicle. LCT is only payable at the rate of 33% (up from 25% as of 1 July 2008, though no senate approval for this increase was obtained) of the value of the GST-inclusive value which exceeds the LCT threshold. The LCT threshold is currently $67,525.00 AUD (for the 2019-20 financial year). An increased threshold of $75,526.00 AUD applies to fuel efficient cars that have a combined fuel consumption rating not exceeding 7 litres per 100 kilometres (based on a combined test cycle rating under ADR81).

LCT is reported on an organisation's Business Activity Statement at labels 1E and 1F. An organisation is not required to complete the LCT section of their BAS when they have elected the GST Instalment Option as LCT is included in this amount. Organisations which report and pay GST annually are only required to report LCT on their annual GST return (GSTR)

Businesses are only permitted to quote their ABN when the vehicle is used for the following purposes:
Exporting the vehicle in circumstances where the export is GST-free
Conducting research or development for the vehicle's manufacturer
Holding the vehicle as trading stock (not including for rent or leasing purposes)

The LCT becomes due and payable when you on-sell the luxury car or stop using it for a quotable purpose. This might happen if you hold a car as trading stock and start using it for private purposes or if it becomes a capital asset of your business.

LCT statistics

Luxury Car Tax statistics can be found in the Taxation Office's publication Taxation Statistics.
 GST and other indirect taxes

Criticism
There has been calls from the industry peak bodies such as the Federal Chamber of Automotive Industries (FCAI), the Australian Automotive Association (AAA) and the Australian Automotive Dealer Association (AADA) to abolish the tax.  They claim the tax was designed to protect local automobile manufacturing industry which no longer exist as the big three manufacturers Toyota, Ford and Holden ceased operations in the 2010s.

There has been a suggestion to increase the LCT threshold or give farmers exemption.

How to Explain Income Inequality in One Simple Movie.
Paul Goodman•October 25, 2013•Technology Equity
Before I get started , if you're a current law student or recent graduate wondering about how to find your dream job, you might find this post I wrote for the Santa Clara Law School Career Services Blog useful.
As you may have noticed, I write a fair number of blog posts. I must admit that every time I write a blog post, part of me eagerly anticipates a vitriolic comment from one of my ideological opposites. Just once, I'd like to be called an "arrogant little academic" who spews "one-sided, neo-liberal ideology," or an "aloof academic" with "silly ideas." Alas, it appears that I am not sufficiently well-known to be the target of these insults: that dubious honor belongs to Robert Reich, economist, former Secretary of Labor for the Clinton administration, and subject of an impressive new documentary, Inequality for All. (In the interest of full disclosure, I've been a fan of Robert Reich for years, and he's been a major influence on my work).
Inequality for All explores Mr. Reich's analysis of income inequality—the gap between incomes of the rich and the poor—in the United States. His conclusion is pretty straightforward and, for my money, convincing: when the income gap is smaller, the economy thrives. When the income gap is wider, the economy suffers, leading to economic collapses like the Great Depression of 1929 or the Great Recession of 2009. The movie does an excellent job of making economic arguments accessible and straightforward, without oversimplifying the issues.
However, the film isn't just about abstract economic theories. It's full of the stories of families and businesses who are feeling the effects of income inequality first-hand. Job losses are certainly personally devastating—they lead to lost homes and loss of educational opportunities. However, the movie points out that job losses also harm the economy—an unemployed worker has to cut back on purchases, which reduces business' profits, which forces other businesses to cut more workers, and perpetuates the cycle. It's an argument that Greenlining's been making for years, and one summed up in the film by billionaire Nick Hanauer, who bluntly explains that business owners aren't job creators. Workers who purchase goods and services from those businesses are the real job creators.
Walking out of the movie, I found myself wondering how the whole Free-Market-Chicago-School-of-Economics-Adam-Smith's-Invisible-Hand crowd would react. Clearly, they wouldn't like the film, but I was interested in seeing their responses. So, of course, I went looking for them? And what did I find? Well, pretty much the insults I listed above. Reviews of the film have either been positive, or nothing more than personal attacks against Reich himself. There doesn't seem to be any reasoned response to the assertions in the film. It's probably because Inequality for All is the kind of documentary you either agree with or you don't, but I like to imagine that it's because there's no real way to counter Reich's argument that when we rise, we all rise together, and that when we fall, we all fall together.
Inequality for All is a great film starring a brilliant, thoughtful proponent of economic equity. (Also, Bill O'Reilly thinks that Robert Reich is a communist, which is reason enough to see the film). Go check it out.

The 1838–39 United States Senate elections were held on various dates in various states. As these U.S. Senate elections were prior to the ratification of the Seventeenth Amendment in 1913, senators were chosen by state legislatures. Senators were elected over a wide range of time throughout 1838 and 1839, and a seat may have been filled months late or remained vacant due to legislative deadlock. In these elections, terms were up for the senators in Class 1.

The Democratic Party lost seven seats, but still retained a majority.

New York

The New York election was held February 5, 1839 by the New York State Legislature. Nathaniel P. Tallmadge had been elected as a Jacksonian Democratic in 1833 to this seat, and his term would expire on March 3, 1839.

On February 4, 1839, the State Legislature elected on joint ballot Spencer, Cooke, Hall and Haight to the offices they were nominated for, but on the next day they could not agree on a U.S. Senator.

The Assembly nominated Nathaniel P. Tallmadge "by the votes of all the Whig members." (see Hammond, page 512)

Although the Democratic State Senate majority did not object to be outvoted on joint ballot for the election of Whigs to State offices, they rejected the idea of electing a renegade Democratic to the U.S. Senate, and took refuge to the only means to defeat Tallmadge: They did not nominate anybody, following the precedents of 1819–1820 and 1825–1826, so that a joint ballot could not be held. On the first ballot, Tallmadge received 13 votes out of 31 cast, all Whigs. The Democratic vote was scattered among many men, nobody receiving more than 2. Four more ballots were held with a similar result. On the sixth ballot, all Whigs and two Democrats voted for Samuel Beardsley, who received 16 votes, one short of the necessary number for a nomination. The Democrats then abandoned further balloting, fearing that the Whigs would vote for anybody who received by chance three Democratic votes, just to force any nomination, thus enabling the Legislature to proceed to the joint ballot.

No further action was taken by this Legislature, and the seat became vacant on March 4, 1839. Tallmadge would later be elected in 1840.

Ohio

Pennsylvania

Rhode Island

Tennessee

There were three elections to the same seat due to the July 4, 1838 resignation of Democrat Felix Grundy to become U.S. Attorney General.

Tennessee (special, 1838)

Whig Ephraim H. Foster was elected September 17, 1838 to finish the term.

Tennessee (regular)

Foster was also elected to the next term, but Foster declined the seat, refusing to take the Tennessee General Assembly's instructions on how to vote, so he left office March 3, 1839 and the seat was vacant when the term began.

Tennessee (special, 1839)

The legislature then elected Grundy back to the seat November 19, 1839, but he died a year later.

Senjutsu double standard in the BD?
Discussion in 'Naruto Battledome' started by Hi no Ishi, Sep 13, 2018.
According to a few posters (not calling people out) Biju Sage Mode Naruto is the odd man out.
Senjutsu Chakra gives CS Users, Toads, Jiraiya, Kabuto, Hashirama, and even other forms such as RSM Naruto a huge boost but somehow BSM Naruto is often said to receive only a "minor", "insignificant" or "negligible" boost even though he has a larger supply of senjutsu chakra than any of his previous forms by far.
We know BM Naruto and Kurama have their chakra synced to one connected pool. And that Kurama even helps gather sage chakra later on.
We know Naruto's base, cloak, and Avatar show sage markings.
And with that boost Naruto and Minato were able to wreck the same arms that wrecked the 4 Red Yang Barrier and Senpo: Stacked Gate of the Great God.
To cutting off the more powerful Jubito with attacks.
1. how could sage mode be only a small boost?
2. Where do you rank BSM Naruto compared to Kurama?
3. Wouldn't Naruto and Sasuke have to both be at near Hashirama's level while on senjutsu just to fight someone who is that much stronger than Hashirama?
4. Why would a sage mode boost be small given its portrayal ?
Well that Kuchiyose was definitely Senjutsu-enhanced.
2. I think Naruto would win. I usually view perfect jins as stronger than just the beast they hold.
3. Idk anyone who asserts that they're not. Hashi still wins but it's a difficult fight.
4. It's probably viewed that way because it wasn't the newest power up.
The main reason some people believe the boost is minor is because they think that the power is separate from Kurama's power and it's strength is based on Naruto himself. This is false, the power is based on both Naruto and Kurama's synced power so the boost would be significant. We know this because Kurama Mode is Naruto and Kurama using their chakra together as one, so it makes no sense for it to scale based only on Naruto. The fact that his Kurama avatar is visibly affected and obtains Sage markings should make it even more clear that it is essentially Kurama in Sage Mode: Which would be a force to be reckoned with. The fact that he's capable of keeping up with Juubito in that form as well should make it even more obvious.
It wouldn't. SM Naruto sensed an attack from the Juubi that BM Naruto couldn't even react to. The reflex boost alone would be dramatically increased.
Notifications are not working very well lol.
The SM boost is small compared to the boost BM gives so it'd be understandable that the boost BSM gives dosen't seem very noticable.
I think the fundamental point here is that (whether) adding SM provides an overall boost to the collective power of both the beast and the boy, instead of simply the boy bar the beast (or not).
Now my knowledge regarding the latter chapters, especially regarding Naruto versions, is terribly lacking. However, the given explanation in OP is logical and matches what little understanding i already have.
So I'll side with you in terms of the boost.
I usually don't get notified when a multi-tag is done including me.
Its that SM is a small boost comparatively to what BM is...Which should shock nobody.
This next pseudo rant is kinda headcanon-ish...So keep that in mind as you read it. Also keep in mind despite teh fact its headcanon and i freely admit it is, theres also nothing in teh series to really counter said headcanon as trasformations and amps are VERY poorly explained in Naruto.
I also dont believe any amp in Naruto is multiplicative. The portrayed gaps are WAY too small for exponential improvements. Take the CS for instance, allegedly a 10x boost according to Jirobo and he doesnt even have one of the top 2 CSs...Thats an insane jump. But, rather than just apply a flat x10 boost to every CS user who uses it, id rather look at it as "10x Jirobos level of base chakra" of a boost, which is comparatively much smaller, and makes sense given CSs later showings.
Same with SM, dont think its multiplicative, but additive. So lets look back when Naruto jumped from a Jonin level fighter to a Kage tier one...Call Base Naruto 100 as of the Pain arc, and we will say that Perfect SM adds 300 to your base power, making SM Naruto 400 overall, so COMPARATIVELY, relative to Narutos lower level, SM looks like a x4 amplification.
Comparatively, SM was a x4 amp for Pain arc Naruto, whereas for BSM Naruto, its diluted to less than a 25% increase.
So i can easily see why people would argue that BSM gets a smaller amp from SM, because when stacked up against the jarring increase in power his base receives, it certainly looks like he does.
About the same if youre talking 100% Kurama.
Kurama has more firepower and stamina, id give the edge to BSM Naruto in basically every other category tho.
They are both near Hashiramas level...This is unanimous...I havent seen ANYONE who puts Peak EMS Sasuke or BM Naruto outside of Hashiramas tier in overall placement.
Cuz its additive and not exponential imo.
So as the users base increases in power overall, and as they stack additional amps on top of SM, SM doesnt look as impressive.
Naruto did not have BSM there.
1. I never believed it was, tbh, I'm surprised posters were saying it provided a small boost. IMO this is a case where when posters don't like an ability being broken they place fanon limits on it. Examples include Preta having a limit, and that ST can be detected and so on.
2. Obviously stronger. That's like asking where do we rank a BSM Bijuudama compared to a Kurama Bijuudama.
3. Hard to say since when Obito got real he took them down. Then there was Obito's feelings getting in the way and the K11 helping them out. Then the obvious, Obito never used the Six Paths Rinnegan powers.
4. I don't honestly know, man.
Whoever is saying that, they have zero reading comprehension.
They believe BSM is simply BM + SM, but in reality both modes multiply each other's power.
The Last movie Databook states that the power of SM significantly increases the power and sensory abilities of Kurama chakra mode when used in combination with it.
But oh well, average posters are gonna average.
Either way, it's not only Naruto tbh. Many characters suffer from the same thing.
If referring to mainly about strength, then fighting the only enemy in Ten Tails' jinchuuriki would make combining BM + SM appear as a small boost. Generally however it's what sets Naruto above the Edo version of Minato and pushes Founders to high difficulty.
He's superior to Kurama but the gap isn't defined by a wide margin imo.
You already showed Tobirama believing Naruto might become a better Hokage than his brother, which supports no present tense interpretation.
which supports no present tense interpretation.
Naruto can't be a better Hokage (in that chapter) than Hashirama, when he was not a Hokage yet.
I always thought BSM Naruto is mucho hella better than BM Naruto.
Probably because it's overkill for all but a few opponents.
I basically made a thread regarding this issue few months ago.
When Hashirama goes SM he receives a huge boost capable of fighting Madara/Kurama at SAME time.
But when BM goes SM... Nah its just SM stacked on BM.
No BM will get same multiplier which Base Naruto got during Pein arc.
If SM is a small boost.
Then Base Hashirama = SM Hashirama.
SM boost depends on how much chakra you possess and its potency.
People with larger chakra reserves needs large amount of nature chakra to enter sage mode.
If BM Naruto has x400 more chakra then pein arc base Naruto then he will need more then x400 times Nature chakra then Pein arc base Naruto to enter sage mode due to both amount and strength of BM chakra.
Pein arc Base Naruto = 100.
Pein arc SM Naruto = 400(x4 increase).
WA Base Naruto = 250.
WA SM Naruto = 1000.
BSM is obviously much stronger than BM, comparable to SM Hashi and Vote Spots Imo, but showings don't always dictate what people believe.
Then again I tend to include BM Minato, as his hax is undeniable to them, he should also be close to the fastest among the tier.
For BSM, I believe SM actually makes the power of BM exponentially greater rather than being just additive.
Thanks guys and gals for the mostly well reasoned and intelligent answers!
Yes but he implies a strength comparison, otherwise he'd throw in himself and/or Minato in precluding Naruto becoming a better "Hokage" than them. Remember this is right after Tobirama witnessed Naruto adding senjutsu to Biju bomb.
Yes but he implies a strength comparison, otherwise he'd throw in himself and/or Minato in precluding Naruto becoming a better "Hokage" than them. Remember this is right after Tobirama witnessing Naruto adding senjutsu to Biju bomb.
What does throwing himself would even change?
I can't say you are the best wrestler in WWE for example, if you are not a wrestler in WWE, yet.
as his delusional fanboys might think.
BSM Naruto wasn't far away from Hashirama's level I agree, but he wasn't as strong nor did he have the title. Given Tobirama's demeanor, his intent being "You may become a better Hokage than my brother. All you need now is the actual title!" is something that sounds incredibly unlikely.
After Naruto met Hagoromo however that seemed to be the demeanor.
Doesn't work like that. Senjutsu allows someone to use powered up versions of their ninjutsu.
An example of this is Jiraiya being able to use a Giant Rasengan in Sage mode but being unable to in base. That is his ninjutsu being powered up by definition. But a normal sized SM Rasengan is literally no different powerwise than a normal sized base Rasengan. The same jutsu are being used at the exact same level, but Jiraiya in Sage mode would need less chakra to use the normal sized Rasengan due to his chakra being more poweful.
BSM Naruto's standard Bijudama is literally no different power wise than any other standard Bijudama from any Biju. SM Hashirama's Mokujin is literally no different strength wise than the Mokujin he uses in Base.
Madara's humanoid Susano'o that he used against the Biju was literally no different strength wise than the one he used while he was an Edo Tensei or alive back in the founders era. Same jutsu in all cases being used at the exact same level.
SM was basically said to increase the potency of ninjutsu and not just size. So if an SM rasengan and a normal rasengan were to clash, the SM rasengan would overcome it.
SM Hashirama's Mokujin is literally no different strength wise than the Mokujin he uses in Base.
How does that make sense...a sm boost is easily over 10x looking at any shinobi..you give bm naruto who is just literally half of kuramas chakra only much stronger due to being a jin and his jutsu..then give him sm amp which is easily above 2x which full kurama has over yang kurama..
We literally got confirmation from pa that sm is a boost that is increases all assets of an entity exponentially...we literally saw hashirama who has lower reserves and stats then bm naruto recieve a massive boost by sm why in gods name would naruto not recieve the same boost as hashirama.......or do you believe hashirama did not recieve a serious boost from sm?

Flo kyrka är en kyrkobyggnad som tillhör Flo församling i Skara stift. Kyrkan ligger i Flo socken i Grästorps kommun.

Kyrkobyggnaden
Tidigare kyrka på platsen var uppförd av sten omkring år 1200. Vid 1600-talets senare hälft bestod anläggningen av en långsträckt rektangulärt långhus, utan markerat kor och med ett romanskt torn vid västra gaveln. Vid en ombyggnad 1746 utvidgades kyrkan på bredden och längden samtidigt som kyrktornet behölls. Vid slutet av 1800-talet var murarna så svaga och skadade att kyrkan raserades.

Nuvarande kyrka uppfördes 1889-1890 på samma grund som föregående kyrka. Meningen var från början att bygga en ny kyrka i samma storlek som den gamla och utnyttja murarna under fönstren, men dessa visade sig vara för dåliga att bygga vidare på. Därmed fördyrades också kyrkbygget som tidigare varit beräknat att kosta 19 500 kr i dåvarande valutavärde. Ritningarna var gjorda av arkitekt Fredrik Lilljekvist.
Kyrkan har en stomme av natursten och består av ett brett långhus med ett tresidigt kor i öster. Öster om koret finns en vidbyggd sakristia. I väster finns kyrktorn med huvudingång. Ännu en ingång finns vid södra långsidan. Ytterväggarna är spritputsade och vitkalkade. Taken över långhus, kor och sakristia är täckta med skiffer medan tornets tak är belagt med kopparplåt. Torntaket kröns med kors på kula.

Inventarier
 Predikstolen är tillverkad på 1600-talet av bildhuggaren Georg Basselaque. 1942 sattes den upp i nuvarande kyrka.
 Dopfunten har en skål från medeltiden.
 Ett altarkrucifix är från 1738.

Orgel

 1764 byggde Jonas Gren och Petter Stråhle, Stockholm en orgel med 9 stämmor och bihängd pedal.

 Johannes Magnusson installerade kyrkans andra orgel 1891.
 Nuvarande pneumatiska orgel byggdes 1958 av Lindegrens orgelbyggeri.

Tutti, utlösare och automatisk pedalväxling.

It's fun to work with repetitive patterns in street photography compositions especially when the person that you capture in the frame somehow matches the background. This photo was taken during a street photography workshop in Midtown Manhattan. We spent awhile hanging out and shooting here. There are so many methods and styles for capturing street photography and this is just one of the styles that we work with during a street photography workshop.

Why the Future of Mobile Devices Depends on Memory

Given the current events of the world, many of us depend more than ever on our mobile devices to stay connected to our communities and the world at large. Specifically, the cameras in our smartphones have helped us to document and to connect while we experience the "new normal" of spending our time at home. But do you remember the time when mobile phones did NOT have cameras built into them?
What's the best camera?
I distinctly remember this time, although granted it has been a while. I've built my career in technology, specifically around the design of mobile devices. When I was at Texas Instruments helping develop technology for early digital cameras, I remember arguing with my former boss about whether people would want cameras in their phones. Later, I had the similar debate when I was at Qualcomm on whether smartphone cameras can rival modern digital point-and- shoot cameras. Even phone OEMs at the time doubted that people would use smartphone cameras as their main everyday cameras. People would always ask me, "What's the best camera?" My answer was always the same, "The one you have with you." To me, it made perfect sense for cameras to live in smartphones.
Today, the camera is one of the primary reasons people upgrade their phones. In five years, the phone you're holding will be completely different and the changes will start with the camera. Some new 5G phones will have five cameras and 8K video. In the future, the entire back of your phone could be a camera.
Bottom line: Now more than ever, the phone is the most important consumer device today.
What goes into having a camera on your phone?
What you may not realize is the processing power required to create an image and the capability of your device to power artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning right at your fingertips. For instance, the camera on your mobile device is always analyzing, "Am I taking a picture of a person? Where is the face? Is the sun out?" Some cameras even take multiple pictures and then determine which you will like the best!
With 5G, these use cases will increase. Newly available foldable screens are much bigger, which means users will run multiple apps in multiple windows on their phone, like you would on your laptop. And each of these windows needs dedicated bandwidth, which means a processor to handle multiple apps. To do this processing, you need high-speed, high-bandwidth memory —close to the processor. Or you have a serious bottleneck.
The 5G phones arriving on the market boast an insane amount of processing power and ever-increasing amounts of memory and storage. Some of the latest smartphones have multiple heterogeneous processors, some clocking to over 3Ghz and 16GB of DRAM and 1TB of storage. We find that every time processing speeds up, device manufacturers start looking for lower power, lower latency and higher capacity memory and storage. That's the fuel — and that's where Micron comes into play. We have a broad portfolio of products and technologies to power whatever comes next.
How do Micron products power the future of smartphones?
The recently announced Xiaomi Mi 10 leverages Micron LPDDR5. It is the world's first low-power DDR5 DRAM in mass production to enable 5G smartphones to operate with the ultra-low-latency response times and low power modes necessary to support multiple high-resolution cameras, multiplayer gaming, and augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) applications.
This is not the only place Micron is driving innovation to support the future of mobile. We're also looking at processing versus memory and storage. In our products today, we think of processing and memory as separate from each other. But I take my cues from biology where it's hard to tell in a human brain where the processing happens and where the memory is.
We anticipate the same will eventually happen in technology. With memory – DRAM – there's very low latency and very high speed, but it's nonpersistent and more expensive. Then there's NAND, which has slower speed and higher latency. But is there something in between? Is there something that has more performance characteristics of DRAM, yet is persistent like NAND? This blurring of the lines between memory and storage is where the market will evolve.
Another future trend I see taking root is the contextualization of the mobile device based on the user. Everybody uses devices differently. As our devices continue to get smarter, they will recognize who is using them and adapt to the user's context. Since your browsing, your viewing and your commute differ from mine, your phone will behave totally differently than mine. AI and machine learning will continue to expand the possibilities of what our devices will know about us and be able to do for us. Contextualizing will be at another level in the next few years. Your device will be totally aware, personalized and customized to you.
This is where your mobile device is going. A recent article in Wired pointed out that the most valuable data is increasingly becoming portable and personal, from smartphones and wearable sensors. They see a data mining gold rush that will have companies "accruing Yottabytes (10^24) of data."
The next generations of mobile devices will continue to help us work smarter, expand our entertainment possibilities and connect us to the world in new and innovative ways. My team at Micron is focused on anticipating these trends and figuring out how to quantify them into the memory and storage products that will support a future that keeps us all connected.

What COVID 19 Shuts Down 5G Opens Up
When the most important news stories of the day are COVID-19 and social unrest, discussion of the latest technology trends can feel superfluous. But as I work from home each day, I see the relevance and potential power of 5G all around me.

Birth order effect on personality theory debunked
Dani Cooper
Posted Mon 19 Oct 2015 at 7:27pm Monday 19 Oct 2015 at 7:27pm Mon 19 Oct 2015 at 7:27pm , updated Tue 20 Oct 2015 at 8:06am Tuesday 20 Oct 2015 at 8:06am Tue 20 Oct 2015 at 8:06am
A new study shows that birth order does not influence personality (Jekaterina Nikitina)
abc.net.au/news/birth-order-personality-theory-debunked/6866990
There is no such thing as a typical firstborn, middle child or baby of the family according to a study that debunks the idea that personality is determined by birth order.
German researchers analysed data from 20,000 people from three nations in the most comprehensive and largest study to date on the issue.
They found that birth order had no effect on five key personality traits: extroversion, emotional stability, agreeableness, conscientiousness and imagination.
However, the paper, published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, supported earlier findings that the first child in a family was likely to be more intelligent.
Co-author Julia Rohrer, from the University of Leipzig, said the link between birth order and personality was first mooted in the early 1900s by psychiatrist and philosopher Alfred Adler — the second of six children.
Whether you have younger or older siblings appears to be of such great importance as a child, that the assumption that this has a lasting impact on personality just seems 'natural'
He claimed firstborns were privileged, but also burdened by feelings of excessive responsibility and a fear of dethronement and were more likely to score high on neuroticism.
However, the idea became firmly entrenched in the modern era when United States academic, Professor Frank Sullaway, developed the Family Niche Theory of birth-order effects in 1996.
Based on Darwin's theories of evolution, he argued that siblings adapted to certain roles within the family to reduce competition and enhanced the family unit's "fitness".
According to Professor Sulloway's theory, because firstborns were physically superior to their siblings at a young age, they were more likely to show dominant behaviour and become less agreeable.
Laterborns, searching for other ways to assert themselves, tended to rely on social support and become more sociable and thus more extroverted.
Personality theory deeply entrenched
Ms Rohrer said this theory had become deeply entrenched in the public psyche.
"Whether you have younger or older siblings appears to be of such great importance as a child, that the assumption that this has a lasting impact on personality just seems 'natural'," Ms Rohrer said.
"I think there are some biases at work that help firm those beliefs. For example, parents might infer their firstborn is emotionally unstable and very anxious because their infant cries a lot and is easily scared.
"The second-born child might actually cry just as much, but now the parents already know that this is just the way that children are, and stop attributing this behaviour to the child's character."
To test Professor Sullaway's theory, Ms Rohrer's team used data from three large national studies in Great Britain, the US and Germany.
The team undertook a range of analyses and looked for effects that were evident within families and also more generally expressed across all families.
"We tried our best, but we simply couldn't find the majority of the expected effects in our data sets," she said.
Their finding that birth order had no lasting impact on later personality traits was consistent across all three national studies, across the different measures of personality and across the participants' whole of life span, she said.
The study could be the final nail in the coffin of Professor Sullaway's theory.
Ms Rohrer said there was now a large body of work that had been unable to detect the birth-order effects as predicted by the Family Niche Theory.
"Rationally, we might want to abandon its main ideas or maybe modify its content in a way that it is more in line with empirical findings," she said.
Firstborn IQ effects 'rather humble'
Ms Rohrer said the study did confirm IQ is impacted by birth order and said it was likely this was due to social effects rather than biological.
"One theory is that later children 'dilute' the resources of the parents, including attention," she said.
The effect does not imply that every firstborn is slightly more intelligent than his or her younger siblings.
While the firstborn gets full parental attention for at least some time, laterborns would have to "share" from the beginning.
Another possible contributing factor was that a firstborn could "tutor" their younger siblings, explaining to them how the world worked.
"Teaching other people has high cognitive demands," Ms Rohrer said.
"The children need to recall their own knowledge, structure it and think of a good way to explain it to youngsters, which could be a boost to intelligence for some firstborns."
However, she said the IQ effects were "rather humble" and not deterministic.
"The effect does not imply that every firstborn is slightly more intelligent than his or her younger siblings. It means that if you assess the intelligence of a large number of sibships, you will find more sibships in which the firstborn is smarter than sibships in which the laterborn is smarter," she said.
"So as a thirdborn, you could very well be more intelligent than your older siblings, and birth order is only one of multiple factors that can contribute to differences in intelligence amongst siblings."
Siblings shape each other's character
Families give firstborns the edge on IQ

This Labor Day weekend was interesting. My wife and I attended the wedding of a family friend's daughter, then we took a family trip with our daughter to Sandusky, Ohio and the Great Wolf Lodge. It was our first time to visit that water park, but we have been to Sandusky many times.
The forecast called for sunny skies and temperatures in the mid 80's, we decided to find a place with indoor and outdoor water areas. I had checked Groupon to find a good rate, but after calling the Lodge 800 number, I found my AAA rate to be better. We arrived early Sunday afternoon, actually before check in, so my wife did a quick social media search for local restaurants that we have not visited in the past. We found the Dockside Cafe, a walk-up restaurant with bayside outdoor seating.
As we sat down and waited for our food to be ready, my wife found someone's wallet that they dropped. We returned it to the counter where the staff paged the gentleman over their PA system. The grateful owner rewarded my daughter with $20 for our honesty, we attempted several times to respectfully decline the reward, but he was adamant. Shortly thereafter our food was ready and we were paged to go pick it up at the side counter. The Perch Tacos were excellent!!!!!! I would post pictures of them, but shortly after we left here, my trip took a precarious turn.
After our lunch we drove back to the Great Wolf Lodge and checked in to our room and the water park. I planned on taking pictures and video of our stay for posterity. I placed my iPhone in the waterproof case that I have used for two years. The reliable case has kept my phone safe during water slides, pool adventures, rain storms, and other watery adventures.
Unfortunately, this time things would play out differently…in my haste to start having fun, I tucked my phone into the case with a few dollars for poolside snacks and rushed down to the water park. My "Spidey-sense" of foreboding and onrushing doom, was triggered briefly, but I shrugged it off as a mild bout of OCD.
For the first few water slides and pool events, I kept checking the seal on my phone case. All was good, so I let my guard down and further buried the sense of worry from my conscious mind. Two water slides later I casually reached for my phone to snap a picture when I saw the water-tight seal was no longer water tight…the phone was in a small bit of water inside the pouch.
To make a long story less tedious, the iPhone could not be revived, and it would cost $200 for the replacement even though I have a protection plan on it. That is cheap for a replacement, but not when I was due for an upgrade in two months. My photo/video memories did not materialize, but the weekend was till fun. Meeting new people, running into another family we are friends with, and enjoying the last "Summer Weekend" of the season made wiping out my phone less crushing. I am now running an old flip phone, "two screens, two keyboards, and no Internet," but that is fodder for another post.
My IFTTT recipe experiment worked…I posted earlier today about combining IFTTT with Edmodo. The post was hashtagged with #IFTTT, which my recipe was to automatically push into my Instapaper account.
The recipe worked as directed. Once the post was published, I received an email from IFTTT that the recipe was activated.
I added another step, but not through IFTTT, I set up my Instapaper account to automatically push out to my Tumblr account. This was set up for strictly educational purposes, so I can direct my students to the account. It still does not meet the goal I am trying to achieve; information posted directly to an Edmodo group using a recipe, but it is a step in that direction.
For now I can use IFTTT to push out recipes and then send an Edmodo alert to students who are participating to the various sites via supplied links to perform the tasks. It is not as fluid as I would like, but it will work for now.
Hello, my name is Mr. Salvucci, most students call me Mr. Sal. I teach high school social studies, specifically Honors Civics, World Cultures, and Econ/POD. I am looking forward to a productive year with all of my classes. I have a number of expectations for my classes and students this year. My main academic focus is to be able to engage the students in the learning process and motivate them to participate beyond basic levels. The students will hopefully be able to go out and apply what they learn in class in the real world and contribute to society in a positive way. As for expectations with technology, the goal is for the students to be comfortable and confident with the tools we use. I am hoping they can become student leaders in the effort to create a wider usage of the tools throughout the district. These actions would also tie into the curriculum expectations.
The expectations for the course curriculum are rooted in my hope to get students involved beyond the classroom. I hope to get them participating in such projects as the model United Nations and voter interviews at the polls. Other activities such as students learning about the community and government through primary resources and first person experiences. Hopefully these activities will allow then to remember and understand key concepts beyond the classroom assessments.
My technology expectations revolve around the students becoming comfortable with the classroom tools, so much so that they become mentors to both students and staff when it comes to technology. This level of competence also allows the students to not view the tools as novelties, but as objects as common as pencils once were. This is important so they can focus on the concepts to be learned instead of the technology we will be using to learn the curriculum.
Time will tell if these expectations can be met. Throughout the year I hope to reflect back and keep readers updated on the students' progress.
First off, sorry for the Reeses' rip-off…now on to my post. I rolled out CoverIt Live with all seven of my classes today. It went rather well…a few minor technical glitches, several stressed students, and a bit-o-scrambling on my part. I wanted to show a Discovery Education video to my classes, the topic was about 9/11.
This would be a perfect opportunity to also show the students CoverIt Live. I wanted to make sure the students were focused on the video, not other things, so I thought of my options. A worksheet full of questions to complete would probably only be done by a few and copied by many, so it was out of the mix. Discussion is good, but pausing and discussing interesting sections fragments the video and waiting to pause may lessen discussion. I went with an option many of the students have already experienced; texting while watching videos. This would give us live discourse without totally disrupting the video.
The iPods were handed out as usual in class and one student in each class got to use the lone iPad my classes have at this time. The students logged into the Edmodo online classroom, then jumped to the sub-groups. I embedded a separate CIL for each class on a different wiki page…past experiences have shown that the sharing of pages causes issues with my students. This is also why I posted the links in the sub-groups, there would be no chance of clicking on the wrong link.
The set up of CoverIt Live can be found here on a previous post.
We watched about the first ten minutes or so of the videos and had the students post a few basic comments. They introduced themselves and made one or two general comments. They were urged to use first name and last initial as their post ID. There was one student who tried to use a pseudonym. The comments were not published, though appropriate, and the students were once again asked to use their real names. I did not try to figure out who the student was…no harm, no foul in my book.
My first period was a bit hesitant with the process, I had about five or six students adding most of the posts. Once the others found out they would get participation points for the assignment, I had most of the class jump into CIL. We actually had students turning in iPods after the dismissal bell in an attempt to get participation points. The timestamp shows when comments were submitted, so I can monitor the process. Other classes were very interested in the processes, both video and CIL, and we almost ran late in several classes.
Later, several students had to log out earlier classes from Edmodo before they could log in, which happens on occasion with the iPods. Running 24-25 iPods through one airport, along with several other machines can bog things down, especially when dealing with Cold War Era cement walls. A few others had previous students names in the ID window…I am not sure how that happened since each class had its own CIL and its own wiki page, but it seems that CIL remembers ID names on each device. The students were focused, for the most part, on the assignment and since we did not have time to finish the video in class, I placed the session on "Standby" and we will continue the process tomorrow.
We did spend a few minutes to discuss etiquette on how to respond to others questions and comments. I used the free CIL app on my Droid X to walk around the room and review any comments that might need "refined" before they hit the "public" Internet site.
There was an overwhelming preference by the students to use CIL when working with videos in class instead of using worksheets. They seemed genuinely interested in continuing the effort and even expanding it to working with other classes via Skype later in the year. I hope to utilize Skype in the Classroom to achieve that goal soon.
I titled this post accordingly, since I have been prepping for the 2011/2012 school year for awhile. In general, I am always trying to build upon what I work on with my classes and improve as a teacher. Specifically, I have been "game planning" specifics since I was told which courses I would probably be teaching in late May.
My plan was to scale back last year's student class orientation from the two week monstrosity it became to a nice clean and concise three day roll out. I am only introducing Edmodo, Gaggle email, and Edublogs as hands on tools right now. Google Docs and possibly Evernote will be rolled out once we start working with books and documents. Anything else will be dealt with on an as needed basis throughout the year.
Today was an intentionally slow day, handed out class rules for students to bring back signed, reviewed the rules, discussed how we use the iPods and iPad in class, talked about what topics we would be covering, and from my third class on introduced Cel.ly. Cel.ly is the new group text notification tool that I will be using this year. I will discuss Cel.ly in another post sometime soon.
By this evening, a small number of people have signed up for my Cel.ly groups, which is a good sign. I have everything for tomorrow set up in Edmodo. I am hoping tomorrow's iPod roll out goes smoothly, that is the key for moving into actual class work in the next few days.
I hope to post a review of tomorrow's activities by Wednesday morning.
This post was started on May 3, 2011, however life got in the way and delayed its publication.
My classes have been observing the events of the last few days and commenting on them through their blogs. Today my Honors Civics class was given a choice before viewing videos of the recent events. The first option was to view the videos and respond via their Edublogs accounts; while the second option was to comment while watching the videos using CoverIt Live (CIL).
Their response was unanimous in favor of live dialog. I quickly created an event through my CoverIt Live account and embedded the code for the event in my class wiki. This enabled me to archive the event and keep it public. The link was pushed out to the students through our Edmodo classroom. By pushing the link out this way the students do not need to type in urls, they only have to go into our classroom and click on the link. This makes it easier for them when using our class iPod set.
Once the students were on the CIL wiki page, they typed in a short greeting as prompted and we started watching the news videos. There was no need to post any starter or ice breaker questions, the students jumped right in with comments. Several of my most even-keeled students were set up for approved comments without moderation, while most of the others had to have their comments approved. This was just a safety precaution, students usually get approved to post once they show they are acting responsibly. I walked around the room using the CoverIt Live application on my Droid X to moderate the debate.
Most of the students were commenting appropriately, they a a great group of Freshmen. There were several comments that needed to be adjusted, there was nothing inappropriate or rude about the comments. However, some of the wording could have been misconstrued, especially the tone or intent when read later on the Internet. The students viewed the comments, and rewrote them to get rid of any ambiguity. Most of the students agreed with the rewrites, and understood how the misconceptions could occur.
The debate was rather spirited on the topics of the day. The students were very opinionated about the world events, but respectful of opposing opinions. This was the third time the students have used CIL in class and they are becoming much better at working on the iPod platform and commenting appropriately. The students were also getting better at using "@" to direct comments to specific authors in response to their initial comments.
While writing this I now realize that I forgot to hand out the class iPad, which rotates to students in lieu of an iPod who request to use it.

They try to tell us we're too young
Too young to really be in love
They say that love's a word
A word we've only heard
But can't begin to know the meaning of
And yet we're not too young to know
This love will last though years may go
And then some day they may recall
We were not too young at all

A social group for the over 55's is flourishing due to the common theme that they have all relocated from London to the South West.
The group, is designed to allow residents to forge relationships within the local area and reduces the risk of social isolation. It meets every other week and includes a guest speaker plus an activity during each session. Local dementia charity Reminiscence Learning recently held a line dancing session after residents expressed their preferred activities.
LiveWest's Community Connector Shona Stone said: "This is a great inclusive session for all. We had plenty of people who wanted to get up and have a go, while others get into the spirit by clapping along to the music.
"The social group is key to reducing and sometimes preventing social isolation and is making use of a LiveWest community hall, which is located in the heart of the community.
"It also provides the opportunity for other groups in the community to get to know our residents in a safe environment, which helps to create stable and successful community cohesion.
The line dancing took place at LiveWest's Salisbury Hall. Most of the activity sessions are provided for free by local organisations and charities, who want to promote their work and get to know the local community.
Other organisations which use the hall includes Cuckoo Meadow Youth Club and Age UK Somerset, who hold tai chi sessions.
LiveWest has also joined forces with Magna Housing and invited their over-55 residents to attend the sessions.
