An Update From 2019 President, Tonya Wildfong
by Impact | Jun 11, 2019 | Uncategorized
Inspired. Humbled. Grateful. That and many more emotions come forward every time I think about Impact 100 TC! Your dedication to making our community better is truly transformational! Whether you joined to actively review grants or simply vote at the annual meeting, wanted to meet like-minded, strong women or be a part of transformational change by pooling resources – together – we are making a difference. Thank You for making it possible!
We have an iConnect event June 19 at Inland Seas, a grant recipient from our first year in 2017. We hope you are able to join us. Remember no guilt, just invitation. A public event in July for those wanting to join and interested in learning more about Impact 100 TC and another iConnect event at Peace Ranch (our second 2017 grant recipient) on August 13.
Speaking of grants, we are in our grant review process. Many Women. One Mission! The work is being done one meeting at a time. For those not participating on a committee this year, rest assured thoughtful consideration is happening. Grants held their non-profit training in March, committee training in April, and grant review started in May. Financial review of the grant applications will occur in June and July, with site visits in August.
Mark your calendar now for September 17, 2019 at the TC Golf & Country Club. The five finalists will be announced after the rigorous review process. We hear repeatedly from the grant review committee members that learning about non-profits that they may not have known about previously is such an inspirational part of the process. We have also received feedback from the non-profits and committee members about the grant process. Is there a way to fund the non-profits in a more efficient manner from the initial grant application to annual meeting and grant implementation? We are reviewing our options. Possibly move up the Annual Meeting for the 2020 grant cycle. After less than three years of operation – and achieving great things – we are also dedicated to continuously improving.
There are many more members working tirelessly behind the scenes to send emails and social media posts, arrange welcome calls and iConnect events, coordinate finances, data entry information, find sponsorship funds from Friends of Impact who believe in the mission, and plan the annual meeting where we will gather together to celebrate. Thank you for making it possible!
Remember, we are only as strong as our members and as transformational as the non-profits that apply. Tell a friend about Impact 100 TC and remind your local non-profit to apply for a grant. Many Women. One Mission.
Talk More Soon,
Tonya Wildfong

We Awarded $247,000 in 2018!
by Impact | Mar 19, 2019 | Grant Update
Our 2018 Grant Recipients:
Communities in Schools (CIS) will continue helping at-risk high school students stay in school by addressing both academic and nonacademic barriers to their success. Their 2018 Impact100 TC grant will help create a feeder school pattern for the CIS model to be implemented in several area school districts, including Kalkaska Public Schools, Central Lake Public Schools, Suttons Bay Public Schools, and Forest Area Community Schools.
Addiction Treatment Services
Addiction Treatment Services will expand their newest program, PORCH (Providing Opportunities for Recovery and Community Health) – a program that will be Michigan's first community-based effort to address the opioid crisis with a comprehensive, evidence-based, multi-systemic strategy. PORCH aims to provide same-day assessments for those seeking help with addiction, bypassing the normal 2-3 week waiting period. ATS will use the grant funding to hire three PORCH employees and to provide educational resources to employers, schools, and other community groups.
Rove Estate Vineyard iConnect
by Impact | Aug 20, 2018 | Uncategorized
The weather could not have been more beautiful for the iConnect event at Rove Estate Vineyard and Winery. Impact 100 members gathered to take in the beautiful view, share a glass of wine, and enjoy the camaraderie of like-minded women. In the spirit of getting to know one another, we'd like to feature two of our members here.
Impact 100 TC Members enjoying our August event!
Blythe Skarshaug signed on with Impact 100 because she was attracted to the concept of combining donations in order to have a greater impact in the community. Blythe also looks forward to getting to know more people in the area. She and her husband own Copy Central in Traverse City. "We can do every kind of copying that you could ever need," she said. "We also own Traverse Reproduction, where we make outdoor signs and blueprints." Blythe will be replacing Kat Paye this year as the Major Member Events Chair.
The Women of Impact 100 TC Show Up Strong!
Julie Brons considers herself to be a member of the Fun and Games committee, where she helps organize the "non-event events." Julie believes the iConnect events are an important way for members to get to know one another outside of Impact's three more formal, major events. Julie said, "It's so important for a new member just joining the organization to have a contact person who can help them understand the history and the culture of Impact 100." Like Blythe, Julie was inspired to join the group because she felt that her $1,000 donation would have a much deeper impact when combined with other donations. Julie is a Chiropractor and Nutritional Counselor at Performance Chiropractic.
Stay tuned to the Impact 100 TC Facebook page for upcoming iConnect dates!
Inland Seas Education Association Utopia Update
by Impact | May 14, 2018 | Grant Update
By: Fred Sitkins, Executive Director
Inland Seas Education Association was very excited to receive the Impact 100 TC grant in 2017. We began work on the schooner Utopia immediately in anticipation of having her ready for final Coast Guard inspection in Fall 2018. But like any renovation of a seventy-year-old asset, it did not run as smoothly as expected.
It is rare that a project of this kind of undertaking can be pulled off without some hiccups. Inland Seas has spent most of the winter dealing with a variety of hiccups, causing the first phase of the Utopia retrofit to take much longer than anticipated. Our winter was spent doing demolition work to gain access to the underwater portion of the hull needing repair. These pictures show the results of some of that demolition. Unfortunately, the further we dug the more areas we identified for repair.
This expanded work, combined with an untimely knee replacement surgery and a broken ankle on the two welders originally dedicated to this project, have exasperated the delay. We have hired a new welder to begin the steel repairs, but because we are so far behind schedule Utopia has to be moved to a different location in the marina lot so she doesn't interfere with the launching of other boats. This must be done before further work can be completed. The latest round of snow has delayed that move.
With all of that said, we expect to shift our attention from demolition to repair within the next couple of weeks. Our welder is ready, the shipwrights performing the wood repairs are ready, and the weather is improving. While we are a little behind schedule we are still confident that the needed repairs will be completed and the boat put back in the water in August. This unfortunately affects any summer programming we had hoped to schedule on the ship, but if all goes well, she will be ready to welcome students aboard in the fall for dockside programs. We will continue the steps to seek a Coast Guard license to carry passengers for Utopia as soon as all repairs are made.
The difficulties we have encountered with this major project would have been insurmountable without the funding we received through the Impact 100 TC grant. This grant, the assistance of our dedicated volunteers, and the tolerance of Irish Boat Shop through it all have continued to push us through every hiccup we've come upon.
PEACE Ranch breaks ground on Experiential Therapy Center
By: Hannah Bouwmeester, Impact 100 TC
Nestled back on Hoosier Valley road in Traverse City is a tranquil farm appropriately named "PEACE Ranch." At first glance, it resembles a regular farm; horses, outbuildings, and gardens. However, it is so much more than that. I recently had the opportunity to meet with Jackie Kaschel, executive director, and learn about PEACE Ranch, one of Impact 100 TC's 2017 grant recipients.
PEACE Ranch is home to 17 unique rescue horses, most of whom have suffered some sort of abuse or neglect and were difficult to place. These horses act as "therapists," helping those who also are struggling with the effects of trauma in their own lives. Sound crazy? Don't be so quick to judge. In 2010, President Obama allocated funds to provide Equine Assisted Psychotherapy (EAP) to veterans, and according to Psychology Today, it is "undoubtedly on its way to becoming the new "must do" form of healing" (www.psychologytoday.com).
Jackie explained that unlike dogs or cats, horses are powerful prey animals. Naturally predisposed to read emotions and body language, horses are non-judgmental. Individuals receiving EAP benefit from increased confidence, mindfulness, connectedness, and more. PEACE Ranch offers therapy to people from all walks of life, but often are working with children and veterans. One veteran in particular went from being a suicidal recluse to becoming a state-certified Peer Support Specialist. Because of PEACE Ranch, there are many stories like his to tell.
PEACE Ranch was awarded the Impact 100 Grant in 2017, and with it came big plans. Jackie (in collaboration with Child & Family Services of Northwest Michigan) is working on developing the very first Experiential Therapy Center integrating Art, Music, and EAP. They recently broke ground on the project and construction of the center should be completed in June. A multidisciplinary team is being assembled and trained at PEACE Ranch, and with the new training and programming being rolled out this year, they should be able to serve twice as many children and families as last year. Currently, PEACH Ranch offers regular classes and events including "Hug and Groom" and Herd Meditation. 400 words just doesn't do EAP or the ranch justice, but I will say that as someone who has suffered from childhood trauma, I was surprised at how emotional and moving this experience was. If you or someone you know is struggling with the effects of trauma in their life, please visit www.peaceranchtc.com or call 231-499-4736 for more information.

Mill Lane Studio: What's cooking?
A couple of days ago, I promised you a peek at something new and exciting that I've been working on for a long time. I still can't reveal what I'm up to but here's a little look.
Lemon and Hazelnut Biscuits topped with Lemon Peel.
Tonight he's going to make Pistachio and Cranberry Nougat.
A girl could get used to this..... I think I'll keep working in my studio!


Broccoli Cream Soup » Preparation, Broccoli, Mean, After, Then, Peel » tobias cooks!
Broccoli is in season here and so is soup. Nothing better to come home to a hot cup of tasty and healthy soup. This one is again easy to make. All you need is a pot, a blender and 20 minutes time. Well some ingredients you will need too.
Peel and dice the onion. Fry it in a pot with some olive oil. Mean while cut up the broccoli. After a few minutes add the broccoli pieces to the pot, then add the stock.
Let it all boil for 20 minutes until the broccoli is nice and soft. Then puree with a blender. Add the cream and season with salt and pepper.
Tobias, I too am a soup guy in the cool/winter months and a cream of broccoli soup is one I enjoy alot…thanks for the quick recipe.
I'm addicted to creamy soups these days. I just made a carrot parsnip soup, and this broccoli one might be next on the list. So good for Fall/Winter!
Hmmm love the warmth of this soup – and its so easy to make!
Hello Tobias, as you are cooking in Greece, I have a suggestion for this soup. A shot of ouzo and a dash nutmeg – just before the end of cooking, elevating the taste – I never omit them when cooking this one.
Mmm, broccoli cream soup is my favorite soup! Even when I was a little kid, if you can believe such a thing.

News traders, huddle up! If you're looking for a top-tier event to play this week, we've got the Bank of Canada interest rate decision scheduled on Wednesday's U.S. session. Here's a simple trading guide on how to make pips from this announcement.
For the newbies just tuning in, lemme tell you that interest rate decisions or monetary policy statements are the red carpet events of the forex world. With interest rates and the level of money supply influencing the demand for and value of currencies, traders are always speculating about central bank action based on fundamental analysis in the same way movie buffs buzz about their Best Picture bets.
But even with all the economic odds pointing towards a particular monetary policy decision, policymakers can still make a few surprise decisions from time to time. Don't forget that the BOC has actually shocked the markets last year with a couple of preemptive rate cuts aimed at shielding the Canadian economy from worse repercussions of the oil price slide.
In their more recent monetary policy announcements, BOC officials have refrained from making any major changes, keeping their benchmark rate steady at 0.50% since September last year. In fact, BOC head honcho Poloz seemed a tad more confident about Canada's economic prospects in their past few rate statements, citing that the government's new fiscal measures are likely to have a positive impact on overall growth.
Still, comparing USD/CAD's reaction to the March and April BOC statements, during which policymakers decided to sit on their hands, indicates that forex junkies are starting to doubt that the central bank can keep policy unchanged for much longer. In March, USD/CAD dropped by nearly 200 pips right after the announcement while the pair made a slow climb during the April statement.
If you've gotten a chance to read my Economic Snapshot on the Canadian economy, you'd recall that a bunch of the latest reports printed weaker than expected results, particularly when it comes to trade and consumer spending. Because of that, BOC officials might sound less upbeat this time around but the consensus is that they could still keep rates on hold.
Even so, the wildfires in energy-rich Alberta likely put a huge dent on production and business activity over the past few weeks, enough for market watchers to carry on speculating that the BOC would dole out stimulus sooner or later. Heck, some might be even convinced that a decision to stand pat now would simply increase the odds of an interest rate cut in the next BOC statement.
Because of that and the risk-off vibes in the market these days, the path of least resistance for the Loonie seems to be to the downside unless the BOC reiterates that government efforts will be enough to keep growth supported. In any case, be sure to make the proper adjustments to your Loonie positions to account for event risk!


My kids love mushrooms. Mushroom is a must in my weekly vegetable shopping. I will buy it first and then decide what to do with it. Mushroom doesn't stay fresh long so you have to use it with in a day or 2. My kids loved this combo. This is perfect for fried rice or roti. Next day I made bread sandwich with left over gravy too.
Heat little oil in the kada add onion, ginger, garlic and fry till raw smell goes off. Add Tomatoes and fry till mushy. Switch it off and grind to smooth paste with Red chilli powder. Channa masala powder, 1/4 cup of cooked chana, Coriander powder, turmeric powder.
Add cooked Chana, jaggery, tamarind extract. Mix well. And cook till desired consistency. Add soaked dry kasoori methi. Cook for another min. Garnish with coriander leaves.
I would lick the whole bowl clean! Delicious!
Lovely combo and perfect consistency of the masala!YUM!
Mushroom and chana is a unique combo.. delicious curry..

Fuel, Ships, Missiles? Russia Sends Support to Venezuela
Scheduled for August 21, a working visit by Venezuela's Vice President Delcy Rodriguez to Moscow is yet another sign of ever-tightening cooperation between Russia and Venezuela. Only a few days before, Venezuelan Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino had made a trip to the Russian capital. A bulk of further agreements are being inked, also in relation to Russian-Venezuelan military partnership, while Moscow keeps sending economic support to Maduro's regime. The Kremlin has no intention to step back from Venezuela; the harder Washington pushes, the higher is Moscow's resistance. Vladimir Putin is aware that the demise of Venezuela's Chavist regime would be a significant failure for Russian geopolitics. So he will send support to the Caracas government as long as possible. And if he has to withdraw one day, he will surely ask for a high price to be paid. This should explain the growth in Moscow's involvement on Venezuelan soil.
SOURCE: деятельность.минобороны.рф
Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez arrived in Moscow on August 21, where she was received by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov. The central topics at the meeting were joint projects in the areas of the economy, advanced technologies, and culture. However, the talks were largely devoted to questions connected to cooperation between the two countries on the global stage. On August 15, Russia and Venezuela signed an agreement governing visits by the countries' warships to each other's ports.
This coincided with Padrino's visit to Moscow. A landmark deal allowing the Russian navy to extend its operational capabilities south of the Caribbean Sea was sealed a week after Nicolas Maduro had announced at a rally in downtown Caracas that Venezuela stood ready to resist the U.S. "imperialist blockade." Earlier a spokeswoman for Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova had accused the United Kingdom of building a military facility in neighboring Guyana, intended as a starting point for sabotage groups.
Also, Russia has been a bulwark of economic support for Maduro's regime, with deliveries of both gasoline and other petroleum products aimed at preventing the domestic oil industry from collapsing. In June and July, Venezuela received at least 600,000 barrels of Russian-sourced fuel and a feedstock to produce gasoline, Bloomberg agency has reported. The cargoes sailed from the Black Sea port of Taman to Malta, where they were transferred to other vessels heading to Venezuela. The regime in Caracas has much suffered from a massive fuel shortage because of U.S. sanctions. Earlier large amounts of its fuel were imported from U.S.-based refineries remaining in the hands of a subsidiary of Venezuela's state-controlled PDVSA oil monopoly.
Russia's policy in Venezuela seeks to permanently destabilize this world region close to the United States. Also, it is about weakening Washington's positions while building up Moscow's military influence in the Caribbean region.
Attention should be paid to yet another motive behind Russian strategy as offering support for Maduro goes in line with Putin's struggle against "color revolutions." An example of the latter are all actions undertaken by Venezuela's opposition parties, seen by the Kremlin as targeted at its friendly regime. But there are more obvious reasons. The oil-rich country owes Russia a total of $17 billion while Russia's military intelligence service GRU de fact control drug trafficking from Colombia via Venezuela. After the demise of the INF treaty, there has arisen a new, albeit potentially dangerous burning issue between Moscow and Washington. For his part, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov said that Russia would consider deploying its missile forces close to the United States if analogous U.S.-made rockets were fielded in Europe. What is taking place now may somewhat resemble the Cuban crisis of the 1960s.

EDSA: From Dictatorship To Democracy
by Jose Ma. Montelibano March 1, 2013
written by Jose Ma. Montelibano March 1, 2013
When the 1986 Edsa People Power Revolution removed a dictator, it was not only the physical Ferdinand Marcos that Filipinos sought to get rid of, it was also what he represented. Much has been said of his brilliance as a lawyer, his journey to political greatness, his brand of leadership. Yet, great power in the hands of a person without great character is like a nuclear bomb in the control of a lunatic.
In the snap elections between the dictator and all his forces versus a housewife and all her volunteers, intimidation and money were not able to make Marcos win convincingly. In fact, he must have lost because he had to cheat, he had to monkey with vote counts (as what Juan Ponce Enrile had admitted happened in Cagayan Valley), and he had to manipulate computer results. In the end, even cheating was not enough. To stay in power, Marcos had to order his armed forces to send tanks and soldiers to disperse the peaceful Edsa gathering. Unfortunately for him, flowers and prayers stopped, then converted, the Marcos forces instead.
Filipinos finally stood up to express their longing for freedom. They risked all in Edsa, but did it peacefully. Their reward was a miraculous victory that removed the dictator – and returned freedom.
It is the 27th anniversary of that revolution, of that spontaneous and peaceful uprising against a perverted value system which used rear and bribery to make a people pliant and submissive. The acceptance of corruption was embedded into our psyche by a regime that was looting our treasures and treasury. When we won our freedom back, winning our morality and conscience proved to be much harder. Corruption had become endemic in the bureaucracy and accepted as normal our societal life.
There are many who became disillusioned after Edsa People Power. They thought that returning integrity was as easy as returning freedom. Filipinos in a spectacular collective action earned their freedom back. But the fight against corruption is oftentimes more individual in nature because it demands our personal character to choose virtue over self-interest. It is not government that defeats corruption, it is the citizens who do not compromise the dictates of their conscience. Government merely follows what people believe and support – unless that government is dictatorial or authoritarian.
The recovery of freedom opened for democracy to walk into Philippine life. The path of democracy does not begin and end with a thousand steps. The easiest government is dictatorship. It needs only a dictator to lead and everybody else to obey. Democracy needs everyone to decide so the leader can follow.
The strengthening of democracy is its only objective. And democracy cannot grow strong unless the people grow strong. And poor people are weak people. People with little or no options are weak people. Hungry people are weak people. People with no security of tenure and without decent homes are weak people. And the more of these weak people make a weak democracy – like ours in 1986.
The greatest feat that has made democracy stronger in our land is our own people, the once weak who found the courage to leave their families and earn for them from another country. The birth and growth of the Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) must be the one single most important achievement that has moved tens of millions from little income to more income, from landlessness and homelessness to house and lot, from little opportunity to much more.
At a price, of course, at a steep price. The best of people's lives, and sometimes all their lives, are sacrificed to the altar of loneliness. Spouses living apart, families with one parent, or none at all. A steep price to win opportunity, but not less steep to win freedom, not less steep to grow democracy.
As many families have broken their inherited impoverished pattern, more continue to be left behind. These will have much less chances to go abroad, to look for jobs there, to win a new course of life for their families. Most of the very poor cannot climb that pathway by themselves. They needs big brothers to reach out and hold their hands – then pull them up to their feet. The very poor are crippled, no less incapable as the physically disabled – and even more emotionally unprepared.
After the effort to dismantle corruption, it is the raising of the poor from their dependency to where they can begin their journey of freedom and self-reliance that is the next greatest challenge to the strengthening of democracy. The dynamic and creative genius of the Filipino who has been empowered is already making the Philippines one of the top performing economies of the world. The presidency of President Benigno S. Aquino III is the most major facelift of a country and people once seen as corrupt and a basket case, now the global destination of choice.
Twenty-seven years after Edsa People Power, a new revolution is sweeping the land and making Filipinos proud and prouder of their country, and themselves. It is more fun in the Philippines, as the Department of Tourism aptly claims. It is also more profitable according to many global financial experts. That is a hard combination to beat – fun and profit. Democracy at its best.
Serious problems remain. Corruption has not been exorcised in Philippine bureaucracy even if P-Noy has cut if off at his level. Poverty has defied tens of billions spent in the CCT program but has found a focused and determined effort to combat it. But it is also time to enjoy the fruits of our labor – if only to make us labor more. And to remind us that 27 years has brought us from a dictatorship to democracy.

You get all that and more with Color Butter Green—a brilliant, commitment-free hybrid that combines fun color and reparative function in one luscious tub.

From playful pops of kelly color to enviously green tones that need some punch, Color Butter Green revs things up in mere minutes, leaving hair blissfully shiny and soft to the touch.
Option 2: When vibrant, semi-permanent color begins to fade, Color Butter Green reignites the shade, restoring hair's condition, strength, and luster between salon visits.


According to the communication of HU TA, from 21 January, the county and Budapest directorates of the tax authority will perform audits based on risk analyses at the taxpayers obliged to report invoicing data online. Those who failed, based on available control data, to report data on their supplies with a VAT content over 100 thousand forints, can expect an appearance from the tax authority.
The tax audit is guaranteed at the 1,500 taxpayers selected if, according to control data, the difference concerning VAT is above 1 million forints. Taxpayers carrying out a substantial part of their domestic acquisitions with partners under compulsory strike-off from the trade register can also expect an audit.
It is undoubted that since its introduction, online invoice data reporting serves the audit interests of the tax authority real-time providing authority databases with a wide range of data and serving as a valuable source for the application of the block-chain and big data technologies envisaged as future targets by HU TA.
If the audit actually identifies non-compliance, the taxpayers selected due to failure to meet their data reporting obligation (or delayed fulfilment or reporting of incomplete, erroneous or untrue data content) can expect a penalty. In addition to the penalty and late payment fee imposed on potentially identified tax differences, a default penalty of up to 500 thousand forints may be imposed for each invoice concerned by the non-compliance on businesses and a default penalty of up to 200 thousand forints for each invoice concerned by non compliance on private persons.
The cap on the default penalty that may be imposed per invoice is very high. However, it is imposed according to the general rules in two steps and its application and amount are, in theory, not automatic. First, HU TA calls defaulting taxpayers to correct the deficiencies and the penalty is only imposed if the taxpayer fails to comply with this request.
In our previous posts, we described in detail the rules relating to the fulfilment of the online data reporting obligation. The company's fulfilment of the data reporting obligation in itself is not enough. A number of issues may come up in the data reporting system, data reporting should therefore be back-tested and the data reported on the company by other persons should be reviewed.
How can the data reported and the data available at HU TA be matched?
All taxpayers have the right to inquire invoicing data relating to them or reported on them by other persons. After the receipt of these, the data can be compared to the company's accounting records. This is without doubt time consuming and above a certain volume of data the process also carries the chance of errors. ConnecTAX Invoice Zoom offers a solution for this problem with automated processes for the selection, listing and correction of differences in order to prevent penalties.
We must also pay attention to the last half sentence of the communication of HU TA that a HU TA audit can also be expected by the taxpayers carrying out a substantial part of their domestic acquisitions with partners under compulsory strike-off from the trade register*.
*The court of registration orders the compulsory strike-off of the company from the trade register if it declares the company terminated acting in within its legality supervision capacity, if the company failed to complete the voluntary dissolution within three year's time, if the company failed to transfer to the general rules of voluntary dissolution or if a reason for the termination of the company without legal succession occurred and the voluntary dissolution procedure is not applicable. The procedure is not voluntary but a consequence of the illegitimate operation or infringement of the company concerned and is an irreversible procedure for the termination of the company.
What does this mean from the perspective of VAT deduction?
It is a fundamental right of taxpayers to deduct the input tax on the goods and services they acquired from the VAT payable by them if the transaction is fulfilled and the invoice certifying the transaction satisfies the requirements of the VAT Act, i.e., according to the main rule, the right of tax deduction cannot be restricted.
Taxpayers select their business partners themselves, however, the judicial practice of both Hungary and the Court of Justice of the European Union require taxpayers to apply the due care expected in business in relation to the deductibility of the input tax on acquisitions, which covers both the selection of the partner, the conclusion of the contract and the fulfilment of the transaction. This practically extends to acquiring the most comprehensive information possible on business partners, including the checking of their company law status (and reasonable regular monitoring during the business relationship).
If HU TA proves based on objective circumstances that the party accepting the invoice played a role in a potential tax evasion or fraud, the taxpayer's right to tax deduction can be denied in relation the acquisitions under review.
We need to point out that the right to tax deduction cannot be denied automatically on the grounds that the partner in question is under compulsory strike-off from the trade register. The right to tax deduction may not be denied on the basis of an infringement within the sphere of interest of the issuer of the invoice of which the party accepting the invoice was unaware or could not have been aware and which was beyond such party's control.
However, this circumstance undoubtedly indicates that the operation of the partner is not necessarily impeccable. For this reason, if this is revealed to the taxpayer, enhanced care must be applied for it is an objective fact whether there is any indication a public register that the partner in question is under compulsory strike-off from the trade register.
Of course, this does not mean that the transaction concluded between the parties is void from a tax law perspective. Questions of civil law are regarded separately from tax law classification as the Tax Procedure Act lays down as a basic principle that void contracts or other legal transactions only have relevance for tax purposes if the economic result of such contract or transaction is detectable. The fact that the given behaviour violates law does not influence tax liability.
Therefore, if the acquisition of the product/service is completed physically (even though in violation of the above referred legal regulation) from a company undergoing compulsory strike-off from the trade register, this status of the issuer of the invoice in itself does not constitute the transaction void and HU TA has both the right and the obligation to determine the tax law consequences of the transaction. If tax evasion by the partner or a previous player in the supply chain undergoing compulsory strike-off from the register arises, the taxpayer acquiring the goods/services can expect a high chance of the audit establishing comprehensive knowledge of the tax evasion denying the right to deduct the input tax on the acquisition.
What can we do if a partner is or was under compulsory strike-off?
First of all, companies should check the company details of their supplier partners (based on court of registration records and databases available on the HU TA website),if possible within the term of limitation.
If a partner under a compulsory strike-off procedure is identified, we should check during which period the procedure was in progress and whether any domestic acquisitions took place during this period.
We should also check the invoices concerned (the content of the product/service acquired) and the documents certifying performance. If little or non-convincing information is available or if the partner is no longer available or if incriminating information is found in the HU TA databases , the company should review its tax return and (if the risk is substantial) apply self-revision. This is a difficult question to judge and an expert may need to be involved.
Our employees can help your business during both the review of your partners before a tax audit and during the tax audit also.

Hyderabad District Profile
Hyderabad Culture
The culture of Hyderabad is a diverse one. Not only does it have an amalgamation of different cultures, Hyderabad boasts of a rich cultural heritage too. Being ruled by the Asaf Jahi dynasty, it came to be known as the "city of Nizams". As this dynasty crumpled, the Mughals took over and brought about a sea change in the cultural outlook of the people. Today Hyderabad flourishes in its rich cultural history.
The contemporary world sees this city as a blend of unique cultures with a touch of modern lifestyle. In general, Hyderabadi people are regarded as very friendly and hospitable. As a matter of fact, generosity is the other name of the Hyderabadis. They take immense pleasure and pride in conversing in their local, characteristic and vibrant Hyderabadi language, which is a mix of Urdu, Hindi, and Telugu. The Hyderabadi Urdu is more like the city's vernacular of Hindi language. It thrives in a world of its own. Like the Mumbai 'tapori' language, Hyderabadi lingo too has its own dissimilar resonance and flavour. It is more assorted as it has its own dialects in different parts of the city. If the actual Hyderabadi has a manifestation of Urdu language and is archetypal to the old city, the new city has a fair mix of English and Telugu to it. In Secunderabad Cantonment region, there is a typical Tamil touch to it, due to the proximity of Tamil Nadu to it.
You will find a very surprising element in these people. They wear the latest branded stuff, flaunt attitude and drink gallons of beer in the most happening bar. But when it comes to culture, no one can beat them nor question their traditional beliefs. You will find the most pretty women wearing shorts and tank-tops one day and at a temple in a nice traditional saree the other day! So be prepared to contact the blend of tradition and modernity in the unique city of Hyderabad.
Hyderabad emerged as the foremost centre of culture in India with the decline of the Mughal Empire. After the fall of Delhi in 1857, the migration of performing artists to the city particularly from the north and west of the Indian subcontinent, under the patronage of the Nizam, enriched the cultural milieu. This migration resulted in a mingling of North and South Indian languages, cultures and religions, which has since led to a co-existence of Hindu and Muslim traditions, for which the city has become noted. A further consequence of this north-south mix is that both Telugu and Urdu are official languages of Telangana.
The mixing of religions has also resulted in many festivals being celebrated in Hyderabad such as Ganesh Chaturthi ( Khairtabad Ganesh is one of the tallest Lord Ganesh Idol installed at Khairtabad, Hyderabad, India ), Diwali and Bonalu of Hindu tradition and Eid ul-Fitr and Eid al-Adha by Muslims. Traditional Hyderabadi garb also reveals a mix of Muslim and South Asian influences with men wearing sherwani and kurta– paijama and women wearing khara dupatta and salwar kameez. Muslim women also commonly wear burqas and hijabs in public. In addition to the traditional Indian and Muslim garments, increasing exposure to western cultures has led to a rise in the wearing of western style clothing among youths.
Hyderabad has continued with these traditions in its annual Hyderabad Literary Festival, held since 2010, showcasing the city's literary and cultural creativity. Organisations engaged in the advancement of literature include the Sahitya Akademi, the Urdu Academy, the Telugu Academy, the National Council for Promotion of Urdu Language, the Comparative Literature Association of India, and the Andhra Saraswata Parishad. Literary development is further aided by state institutions such as the State Central Library, the largest public library in the state which was established in 1891, and other major libraries including the Sri Krishna Devaraya Andhra Bhasha Nilayam, the British Library and the Sundarayya Vignana Kendram. South Indian music and dances such as the Kuchipudi and Kathakali styles are popular in the Deccan region. As a result of their culture policies, North Indian music and dance gained popularity during the rule of the Mughals and Nizams, and it was also during their reign that it became a tradition among the nobility to associate themselves with Tawaif (courtesans). These courtesans were revered as the epitome of etiquette and culture and were appointed to teach singing, poetry and classical dance to many children of the aristocracy. This gave rise to certain styles of court music, dance and poetry. Besides western and Indian popular music genres such as film music, the residents of Hyderabad play city-based Marfa music, dholak ke geet (household songs based on local Folklore), and qawwali, especially at weddings, festivals and other celebratory events. The state government organises the Golconda Music and Dance Festival, the Taramati Music Festival and the Premavathi Dance Festival to further encourage the development of music.
Films in the local Hyderabadi dialect are also produced and have been gaining popularity since 2005.The city has also hosted international film festivals such as the International Children's Film Festival and the Hyderabad International Film Festival In 2005, Guinness World Records declared Ramoji Film City to be the world's largest film studio
Handicrafts:
The region is well known for its Golconda and Hyderabad painting styles which are branches of Deccani painting. Developed during the 16th century, the Golconda style is a native style blending foreign techniques and bears some similarity to the Vijayanagara paintings of neighbouring Mysore. Significant use of luminous gold and white colours is generally found in the Golconda style. The Hyderabad style originated in the 17th century under the Nizams. Highly influenced by Mughal painting, this style makes use of bright colours and mostly depicts regional landscape, culture, costumes and jewellery.
Cuisine Hyderabadi cuisine comprises a broad repertoire of rice, wheat and meat dishes and theskilled use of various spices. Hyderabadi biryani and Hyderabadi haleem, with their blend of Mughlai and Arab cuisines,have become iconic dishes of India. Hyderabadi cuisine is highly influenced by Mughlai and to some extent by French, Arabic, Turkish, Iranian and native Telugu and Marathwada cuisines. Other popular native dishes include nihari, chakna, baghara baingan and the desserts qubani ka meetha, double ka meetha and kaddu ki kheer (a sweet porridge made with sweet gourd).

How to use shortcode/slider in theme template file?
By default, Carousel slider only load scripts when you use shortcode in TinyMCE editor or use Carousel Slider Widget. This helps to reduce two unnecessary HTTP request for Style and Script when you are not using the slider.
If you want to use shortcode in your theme directly, you need to tell the plugin to load scripts for your perticular page or template in your (theme/child theme) functions.php file. To load scripts, you can use the following filter hook.
For example, if you want to use shortcode only for your front page, add the following filter hook in your theme functions.php file.
or write the following code to always load the slider scripts and style.
Now you can use the following function at your theme template file replacing YOUR_SLIDER_ID with actual carousel slider id.
So easy to work with, I am very pleased! Thank you.

Gulp. Giant Invasive Spider Spreading Throughout the Southeast
Fortunately, Joro spiders are harmless to humans.

A species of giant spider from Asia been taking over spots of the southeastern United States over the past decade, and wildlife experts say there isn't much we can do about it.
The Joro spider first arrived in the U.S. around 2013 via shipping containers. The large arachnid, native to Japan, has since spread across Georgia and the Southeast. And it's just getting started. According to new research from scientists at the University of Georgia, the invasive spider has the ability to spread through most of the Eastern Seaboard.
Fortunately, Joro spiders don't appear to pose a risk to humans or local ecosystems. While they are venomous, they don't bite unless threatened and have very small fangs that are unable to break human skin.
"People should try to learn to live with them," Andy Davis, a research scientist at UGA's Odum School of Ecology, said in a news release. "If they're literally in your way, I can see taking a web down and moving them to the side, but they're just going to be back next year."
WATCH: Alert: Army Worms Are Invading Birmingham Lawns
A joro spider can grow to be about 3 inches long and has a bulbous body with bright yellow stripes. They weave large three-dimensional webs that are a golden color and have been reported as deep as 10 feet.
"There's really no reason to go around actively squishing them," Benjamin Frick, an undergraduate researcher, agreed. "Humans are at the root of their invasion. Don't blame the Joro spider."

Getting to the truth can be a difficult task for managers. People sometimes withhold, spin, or slant reports, especially when the implications are uncomfortable or threatening. A culture that supports truth telling can be an organization's most valuable asset.
That last sentence brought silence to the room, partly because of the darkness of the news, and partly as an honor to Jack for having been brave enough to have reported it with Eileen sitting right there. As if in anticipation of an explosion, everyone turned to look at Eileen.
Henry David Thoreau in 1856. Photo of a daguerreotype by Benjamin D. Maxham, available at the U.S. U.S. National Portrait Gallery.
"First I want to commend you, Jack, for telling us so early, while we still have options," Eileen began. "Takes courage. And what do you think we ought to do now?"
Eileen has just taken two steps that will encourage people in her organization to report the truth. She has publicly recognized Jack for telling the truth, and she has rewarded him by asking for his guidance in responding to its implications.
Samuel Goldwyn once said, "I don't want any yes-men around me. Tell me the truth, even if it costs you your job." The laughable impossibility of his preference is at the core of the problem of getting to the truth. Punishing truth telling drives Truth underground.
What actions can you take to encourage people in your organization to tell the Truth?
Telling the truth can entail revealing failure. If you punish failure, or even if you recognize only success, you train people to conceal failure.
Recognize people who take reasonable risks, even if they aren't successful. Recognize failures — not all failures, but at least those that result in valuable learning.
Some tactics that managers use are coercive. By creating a sense of powerlessness, coercive tactics can erode the sense of safety so essential to truth telling.
Avoid killing the messenger, cold-shouldering the messenger, and blaming individuals for group failures.
One great illusion about layoffs is our denial of their long-term costs — they reduce our sense of security. The certainty that someday layoffs will happen again can cause many to withhold, spin, or varnish the truth.
Reduce staff as a true last resort — after spending cuts, after reducing management compensation, and after reducing employee compensation.
In some organizational cultures, withholding truth is seen as loyalty. People who disclose bad news are sometimes seen as "ratting" on peers.
Train people in disclosure. Encourage people to support each other in uncomfortable disclosure by sharing responsibility. Group responsibility makes truth telling easier.

We spend a lot of time and emotional energy in meetings, much of it engaged in any of dozens of ritualized games. Here's Part IV of a little catalog of some of our favorites, and what we could do about them.
To manage well, we need to know where we are, where we would like to be, and what we need to do to get there. Measurement can help us achieve our goals, by telling us where we are and how much progress we're making. But some things aren't measurable, and some measurement methods yield misleading results. How can we use measurement effectively?
Among the factors that determine the influence of contributions in meetings are the content of the contribution and how it fits into the conversation. Most of the time, we focus too much on content and not enough on fit.
Nearly everyone hates meetings. The main complaint: they're mostly a waste of time. The main cause: us. Here's a field manual for people who want to waste even more time.
It's widely believed that managers delegate some of their own authority and responsibility to their subordinates, who then use that authority and responsibility to get their work done. That view is unfortunate. It breeds micromanagers.

bc, for basic calculator er "en vilkårlig præcisions regnemaskine sprog" med syntaks der ligner C-programmeringssproget. bc anvendes typisk med enten et matematisk skriptsprog eller som en interaktiv matematisk skal.

En typisk interaktiv brug er at taste kommandoen bc på en UNIX kommandoprompt og indtaste et matematisk udtryk, såsom (1 + 3) * 2, hvorved 8 vil blive udlæst. Selvom bc kan arbejde med vilkårlig præcision, er dens standardopsætning at arbejde uden decimaler – så udtrykket 2/3 udlæser 0. Dette kan overraske nye bc brugere der er uopmærksom på dette faktum. Hvis parameteren "-l" gives til bc bliver standard skalaen 20 decimaler, og der tilføjes adskillige matematiske funktioner til sproget.

bc dukkede første gang op i Version 6 UNIX i 1975 og blev skrevet af Robert Morris og Lorinda Cherry ved Bell Labs. Forud for bc fandtes dc, en tidligere vilkårlig præcisions regnemaskine skrevet af de samme forfattere. dc kunne lave vilkårlig præcisionsberegninger, men dets omvendt polsk notation syntaks var ubelejligt for brugerne, og derfor blev bc skrevet som en front-end til dc. bc var en meget simpel compiler (én enkelt yacc kildekodefil på nogle få hundrede linjer) som konverterede den nye, C-lignende, bc syntaks til dc's omvendt polsk notation og pipede resultatet gennem dc.

I 1991 standardiserede POSIX strengt bc. To implementationer af denne standard overlever i dag: Den første er det traditionelle UNIX implementation, en front-end til dc, som overlevede i UNIX og Plan 9-systemer. Den anden er i det frie software GNU-bc, først udgivet i 1991 af Philip A. Nelson. GNU implementationen har adskillige udvidelser udover POSIX-standardens, og er ikke længere en front-end til dc (den er en bytecode fortolker).

Artist Angle: Finding Passion And Ease Amidst Depression
Columns	by Dominique Hallberg November 20, 2018 November 19, 2018
Dominique Hallberg, Columnist
Illustration by Juliana Vieira
Here's a crappy stereotype that's unfortunately usually true: I'm a musician and I live with depression. My name is Dominique Hallberg, and I'm currently the lead guitarist for local, all-girl band, Club Sofa. I started playing guitar when I was 15 and had no friends. At the time, I was just really craving something to associate myself with since I didn't consider myself smart enough to be a "nerd", not athletic enough to play sports, etc. My parents were and still are very supportive, having bought me my first guitar (a black Epiphone Les Paul), they would drive me to guitar lessons, and once I was over the learning curve, I was enamoured with playing. It was the classic "locking yourself in your room for hours and playing" type of love.
I began to curate my own music taste and I found myself feeling less and less lonely. I went through different genres of very guitar-centric music, from the "hair-bands" that my dad loved like Van Halen, to blues like Bonnie Raitt, to neoclassical like Jason Becker and then to jazz artists like Wes Montgomery and Grant Green. I was in love with the idea of being "that guitar player", and after a couple of years of practicing, I began to get the recognition from my peers that I craved.
That led to performances, which led to joining the jazz band, to joining a jazz combo, and pursuing jazz as my focus for post-secondary. I graduated from high school in 2016, worked every day the summer after, and moved to North Vancouver from Vancouver Island to attend CapU in September.
I was nervous yet excited to leave home for the first time. I felt like things would be okay, I felt prepared and confident in my choices. But unfortunately my first year of university, and the semester afterwards, was the worst year and a half of my life.
Depression, I've learned, is something that sneaks up on you. One moment you can go to school and get up on time, finish your homework and be present in your life, and the next you find yourself skipping classes, binge eating, crying what seems like all the time, pushing away friends and having suicidal thoughts and ideations.
Those symptoms started for me around November, when some of my classes gave me so much anxiety that I would throw up and cry beforehand – resulting in me skipping the class altogether. My grades took a dive and I felt suddenly and completely useless. The worse I did in school the more I beat myself up, and the more I would stay home, the less I would practice and the less I loved playing.
I didn't see a point in music anymore and was ready to quit, before I got a Facebook message from a friend, Payton Hansen – an amazing singer who also happened to be in my jazz program. She wanted to start a band with a girl named Jess, a drummer in my program, and a bassist named Jasmine, and she wanted to invite me to be their lead guitarist. My boyfriend encouraged me to join, and with the stress that school was putting on me I thought it might have been a good idea to make some friends and overcome my loneliness.
We met at a friend's house for our first practice, all of us a little nervous. We played through some basics like "Cherry Bomb" (obviously) and "I Wanna Be Your Dog". We learned everything together and soon found ourselves bonded, and really enjoying each other's company. We played our first gig to a solid crowd of maybe 30 people (including boyfriends and family) in a Port Coquitlam community hall, but it was the start of something much bigger.
Playing with Club Sofa eased my anxiety and depression in ways I can't explain. Maybe it was the positive reinforcement – the fact that I had three other girls constantly cheering me on, telling me that I was wonderful and loved – or maybe it was the fact that for the first time in months I was leaving my house to play music and it truly excited me.
When I'm getting ready for a show with my band it's when I'm usually my happiest. I love simple things like sharing makeup, I like it when we meet up to practice, I like stopping at the gas station and getting an energy drink or meeting up at "Timmy's". It's these little actions of friendship that I find impacting me so much, because I know what it's like to do all of those same things alone.
Through Club Sofa I found my nerves prior to shows dissipating more and more. Because of my band I've had amazing opportunities. I met Isaiah Dobbs who currently leads Vancouver band Schwey, at a Winona Forever show. Fast-forward a few weeks and I was offered the chance to sub-in with Schwey, which led to opening for Marianas Trench at the Calgary Stampede in front of thousands of people.
But even with opportunities like that I still have lows. I still leave shows early because of anxiety, I still experience episodes of depression, I still find myself unmotivated and sleeping most of the day for weeks at a time. But the difference for me now is defined by my support system, namely my band, my family and boyfriend. They make me feel loved and appreciated when I feel like I've been nothing but a huge burden. As someone who suffers from depression it means the world to me.
For those who too feel lonely and crave a connection with somebody, anybody, I'm here to tell you now that you need to take that step and do something social with your passion. I know it's hard to let go of the fear of embarrassing yourself, the fear of just outright failure, but it's necessary. When I first started to feel these lows I felt like I was drowning with no one to pull me out of the water. Now, I never have to doubt that I will have a safety net. Art really does have the potential to heal, and my medium isn't an exception – Club Sofa has made me a better and more confident person in more ways than one. And for that, I'm forever grateful.

I work with both Second Temple Jewish and early Christian sources and am interested in the construction of Christian identity vis-à-vis Judaism. My disseratation focuses specifically on John Chrysostom's use of Josephus for Christian identity formation in fourth-century Antioch. I chart a trajectory beginning with Josephus' reworking of Daniel for his discrete rhetorical ends, which then lays the foundation for his use by later Christians for their own rhetorical ends. I highlight Chrysostom's weaponization of Josephus against his Jewish contemporaires as he constructs his discourse of Christian triumph and Jewish defeat. More broadly, I am interested in apocalyptic literature and Jewish and Christian pseudepigrapha.

How to Keep Home Cleaning Sponges Cleaned & Disinfected?
Would you clean your silverware with a dirty rag? No? Then why would you even think that your smelly cleaning sponge is sanitary enough for regular use? Similar to a dirty rag, a kitchen sponge is the breeding ground for several microorganisms that include bacteria, mould and yeast. As per studies, 90% of the time when a household witnesses a sudden bout of illness in its family members, the reason could be a dirty cleaning sponge.
A kitchen sponge needs to be cleaned to keep not only your plates and kitchen utensils free from contaminants but also your food as well. On top of that, it is best to keep on replacing your kitchen sponge with a new one after every two weeks. With that information in mind, if you want to get your hands on high-quality kitchen sponges, you can buy it here.
Spraying the cleaning sponge with hydrogen peroxide.
For your information, several independent studies have proven time and again that none of the above mentioned 'hacks' is effective when it comes to disinfecting a dirty cleaning sponge.
As per the results put forth by the ARS, microwaving your cleaning sponge can kill about 99 % of the bacterial or microbial growth within the same. You can also dip you cleaning sponge in boiling water and keep it there for at least 10 minutes. Boiling your cleansing sponge causes microbial cells to explode thereby cleaning them instantly.
Rinse the cleaning sponge well and make sure that it is free from any residual food particles. Put the wet cleaning sponge in the microwave and set the temperature of the device on high. Set the timer for 2 minutes. Make sure that the sponge is cool enough to handle when you decide on removing it from the microwave. Rinse out any remaining water from the sponge and let it air dry. Be sure to clean the microwave after you are done disinfecting the cleaning sponge.
Get rid of any residual food particles from the cleaning sponge and don't forget to squeeze it dry. Place the sponge on the top rack of the dishwasher and set the same on full wash and dry setting. It is best to repeat the process for at least once a day.
It is an environmentally friendly and easy method where you will be soaking the cleaning sponge in a bath of full-strength vinegar for about 5 minutes. The results are better if you choose to soak the sponge in the vinegar bath overnight. Dry the sponge by either letting it into the sun or air dry – as per your convenience.
As per the opinion of the ARS (or Agricultural Research Service's Food Technology and Safety Laboratory), even if you subject the above-mentioned methods to clean your dish washing sponge, around 90 per cent of the microbes that was residing in the same are still alive. It is enough for you and your loved ones to fall ill very quickly from foodborne diseases. Make sure you disinfect the cleaning sponge before and after using the methods mentioned above for best results.
We spend our lives collecting things, often from our travels and sometimes just because we like them. They tell a story but often, unless we have a designer's eye or some training, some of the story gets lots in the 'delivery' or how we show off our possessions.
Choose things you love. It's your home, so it should be full of objects that mean something to you. With that simple rule, you'll start to notice a definite style theme, even if that is somewhat eclectic. A colour that keeps popping up, or a pattern or a subject matter like 'travel' are all popular themes that help people determine their style.
Choose objects that aren't all identical when you're grouping things together. Have different heights and widths to add interest and stop the display looking flat. A vase, and then flowers within it, is a great way to add extra height.
Like height, different textures help the brain to process the display. Think of opposites: something shiny with something fluffy, something wooden with something soft.
Shelving specialists like https://www.rackzone.ie/shelving/industrial-residential-shelving will be able to demonstrate that bookcases and shelving are able to display all sorts of things and not just books. Industrial shelving Ireland, UK and elsewhere is being brought into our homes to help us curate our own stories in a modern, contemporary setting.
Simple rules of composition mean that the eye is drawn to the centre of a group of objects, so use an odd number to facilitate that. Three is an obvious place to start, though five or seven will also work.
Space can be a good thing. Don't feel tempted to fill every spare inch of space available, because it will soon look like clutter and focus will be distracted from the things that really matter.
Collections of bottles or candles or anything else can be great displayed together, and the repetition can be a beautiful thing. Don't forget the other tips – odd numbers, differing heights and textures – and you'll be able to make a powerful statement.
For more tips on how to arrange your possessions into an eye-catching display, read the advice on the Design Sponge.
These are guidelines, of course. Remember that it's your story – tell it however it suits you.
Do we ever take the time to think about how important the simple things are in life? Glass, for example, it's everywhere and is enormously useful in our lives. From windows in our houses and transport (imagine how much fun driving would be without a widescreen or visor), it can also be decorative and, most importantly, it makes wine and pint glasses. What's actually in it?
Some people who do know all about glass and how it can improve your home is https://www.firmfix.co.uk/conservatories/. No matter where you are, Conservatories Evesham, Cheltenham, Gloucester, Tewkesbury can be made with this incredible material. Glass is greatly improved with chemicals now but to start with its basically sand or its by-product Silica dioxide, that's quartz to you and me. It's a relatively simple task to make. By heating up the sand it will turn into liquid. This liquid although incredibly hot is very easy to sculpt and form either by blowing, which is a tricky skill or by pouring it into molds. This does take quite a time as you do need a very high-temperature blast furnace to do it. Sticking some in a saucepan over the hob won't do it in case you suddenly felt like making your own glassware. Not unless you own an oven that can be got you up to 1700 centigrade not even Aga's boast that ability. Also, if you did melt it, the stuff is dangerous and can cause extreme burning so best leave it to the trained professionals.
Amazingly once the sand has cooled down it has gone through an incredible change. It doesn't return back to the yellow grit you had instead it, through the wonders of science, has transformed into a clear substance. The reason for that is that it is an amorphous solid. Before you get the dictionary or Google it I shall tell you what that is. It means it has both the properties of a liquid and a solid at the same time! Let that sink in a second. When you hold a solid glass in your hand it's still part liquid as well, at the same time. Confused? The liquidy bit is what makes it see through. However, it is also "chemically inert" that means that when you put another liquid in it doesn't react to it. It does the scientific equivalent of ignoring your drink and keeping itself to itself.
If you add more chemicals like boron oxide for example then the glass can be used in an oven, so not Boron at all but quite interesting. If you fancy some bulletproof glass in the conservatory then you need a glass sandwich with clear plastic as the filling. Remember we mentioned windscreens? The process here is where the liquid glass is chilled very quickly which actually makes it a lot harder. Not so good for the bugs that hit it at speed though. Glass, clearly useful stuff.
A commercial kitchen has specific requirements above and beyond a domestic kitchen. Kitchens in restaurants, cafes, and hotels need to work well so that staff can find everything quickly and easily. The design is an art form with many things to consider, including space, lighting, floor layout, appliances and more.
When designing your commercial kitchen, the first thing to consider is planning the layout. You need to think about what appliances are needed in the kitchen and make sure they have enough space. Also, think about work surfaces and ensure you have enough room for chefs and assistants to prepare food and to navigate around the equipment safely. There should be clear walkways from cooking areas to working surfaces and to and from the kitchen door. Thinking about what to put where is a vital step when designing any kitchen.
The lighting in a kitchen is important, to allow chefs to prepare the food properly. Lighting is another health and safety issue but also another issue of productivity. Lighting should be bright and clear so that everything is visible. The lighting should extend to all areas, from surfaces and cookers to appliances and walk-in fridges.
The kitchen floor needs to be safe and not slippery, and it also needs to be tough and durable. Floors need to be able to support heavy industrial equipment and withstand wear and tear. They need to be water-resistant and have floor drains while being non-absorbent and easy to clean.
The cooking appliances need to be top quality and heavy duty. The type of appliances you need depends on the restaurant, so if you fry a lot of food you need good fryers, while pizzas require top pizza ovens. If you serve a lot of wine, you also need high-quality commercial wine coolers, which are available from many stockists, such as https://www.fridgefreezerdirect.co.uk/commercial-wine-coolers.
Appliances in the kitchen need to be heavy duty to cope with commercial wear. The dishwasher is especially important as it has to cope with lots of crockery and glasses, as well as pots and pans. Waste containers need their own space, as do the clean pots after they have been washed. Sinks also need space, with enough empty areas around them to place dirty and clean pots.
Did you want to transition your outdoor space? Most of the people of these days are always looking to renovate their home, and home renovation is the right choice once you have the idea to transition your space. A large number of people prefer choosing home renovation to add some value to their home and this is the fact. But outdoor renovation is quite unusual technique, the main reason behind this is that the interest in planning for outdoor décor is most uncommon.
You should consider whether your outdoor space is safe to implement the fire pit. Most of the home needs some extra care to implement the fire pit; there you should need an expert to place it. You can contact some renovators for implementing such kind of additional thing to outdoor space.
The next important thing you need to look through this phenomenon is whether the chosen fire pit is convenient to use. One can choose the fire pit based on the location they wish to employ. Try to look for these terms once you have the plan to implement the fire pit.
As mentioned earlier, one can come up with diverse collections of the fireplace, so it is better to look through and choose according to the needs. Make use of the expert people to employ the fire pit in your outdoor.
Wooden furnishings remain a classic option for many modern homes that strive to create a functional and cozy environment. But is this material applicable to the bathroom? More and more often, designers rely on wooden accessories for this room, and in some cases their imagination extends beyond these small and easy-to-replace items and covers the furnishings and even the flooring. That is why today FoamWorks toronto will introduce you to the main advantages and disadvantages of the wooden elements in the bathroom, so it is easier to judge if this material is a suitable option for your home.
Wood elements undoubtedly create a sense of warmth and coziness in the contemporary bathroom. Some households adhere to classic solutions, such as complementing an ordinary white bathroom cabinet with wooden accessories that do not require a serious investment and can be easily replaced if needed. Others take bolder steps in their goal of making the bathroom more hospitable by choosing sustainable wood flooring. Experts advise, however, to apply the tree only to those areas of the floor that are not exposed to intense moisture. For example, you can create a spectacular floating floor for the bathroom using a combination of tiles in the area around the shower and massive parquet around the door and the towels for the storage of towels.
Wood flooring, however, is not a suitable option for the area around the shower, bath and sink in the bathroom, as intense moisture can cause swelling and cracking of the parquet. Typically, the water gathers in the joints between the boards and becomes a convenient place to develop mold. This can completely ruin the first impression that the bathroom will create for your guests. Other areas susceptible to the destructive impact of water are gaps around the sills on the floor. Wooden window frames are also not a good solution, because moisture leads to swelling and shrinkage of the tree, which in turn could crack in places. For the same reason, most households also avoid massive wooden cabinets and bathroom shelves, which are a completely applicable option, especially if you have a shower or other barrier to protect these elements from direct water contact.
The modern bathroom boasts not only an enviable functionality, but also an incredible beauty, and the elements of wood make a tangible contribution to that. They will fit perfectly into a bathroom that recreates the natural beauty that often inspires designers to blend in this room elements in white, green and brown. The classic style also requires wood elements to be featured in the bathroom, making it more suitable for a massive dark drawer with drawers to accommodate towels and toiletries. Wooden accents are an ideal way to break the vision of a simple bathroom, subordinate to minimalism, by equipping the mirror with a practical framework of this material, or by hanging on beautiful wall decorations that will impress your guests.
Of all the areas in a home, the kitchen and bathroom are the most important and used spaces. It is essential these spaces, especially that of a bathroom are well designed. To that end, the shower area is one of the things that a home buyer looks at. A well-designed shower cubicle accentuates a bathroom and also adds value to a home.
Available space: Is the space available enough? Take into account the height and width in a bathroom. Well-designed showers will not look and feel cramped.
Positioning: Another factor to take into account is where it is placed – the corner, or the center of a room or is it in a separate area? This is necessary as it will determine the type of shower tray used. Drainage should also be factored in.
Type of glass: The kind of glass that one can use for the walls and doors will vary. Make sure that the best kind of tempered and toughened glass is used. The cost will also play a role in the type of glass that is used. A well-designed shower will have edge protectors which prevent chipping and breakage.
Flooring: Shower cubicles can be designed to be used with or without trays. Trays make it easier to install doors and reduce the chance of leaks. Cubicles and trays are available for purchase together making it easy for customers.
Tiles: Tiles are not always needed for the bathroom but in case one decides to do so, make sure that the inside walls of the shower area are tiled. Take into account the tiles and the height of the area to be tiled. When a wet room is installed, make sure that the floor and walls are not only tiled well but also sealed to prevent leaks.
Left or right hand: When considering a shower area, make sure that the layout is drawn well and also which side the door will open. Make sure that windows and obstructions are taken into account.
A walk in shower is the best way to maximize available space. Pivot and sliding doors are good options as they cut down on space required. Many plumbing and bathroom refurbishing companies offer packages that have all the elements required to install a shower cubicle quickly and efficiently.
Regardless of the style of shower cubicle, consumers can choose from a wide range of accessories to make their bathrooms stylish and comfortable. Choose from different types of outlets, handheld showers, shower heads, body jets and so on. These are available in different shapes, sizes, and materials as well.
Given the choices, it can either be very easy to pick the first one that catches your eye or become really difficult. It is a good idea to take all factors into account and do it right. The budget will always be a key issue along with space. Do the necessary research and measure out space properly before installing. Also, account for the number of people who will use this space and their ages.
There are quite a few companies which will offer great designs and work with customers to optimize space. Every component of a shower cubicle adds to the cost. Don't be afraid to ask for a breakdown of costs before going in for a remodel. If you are buying a home where the remodeling has already been done, it is a win-win situation. Regular maintenance and checks will ensure that the investment pays off for the long term. Buy the best possible quality available in the budget.

Volkswagen builds 200 pre-production Volkswagen ID.3s
By Rachel Evans on	 May 14, 2019 Fuel Cells, Vehicle Development
More than 200 pre-production vehicles of the Volkswagen ID.3 have been manufactured. The first ID. production cars are scheduled to roll off the assembly line at the company's Zwickau factory at the end of 2019. By the end of 2020, only e-cars will be built at the facility. Per day, up to 1,500 Volkswagens and other group brand vehicles will be built.
Dr Herbert Diess, CEO of the Volkswagen Group, said, "It's my firm conviction that Germany as an automotive location must also lead the way when it comes to electric mobility. That's why we're deliberately converting the Zwickau plant into the largest and most efficient e-car site in Europe. It's impressive to see what efforts the team is making to help achieve that transformation. Zwickau can become a model for transformation in our industry."
Thomas Ulbrich, member of the board of management of at Volkswagen, responsible for e-mobility and spokesperson for the management board of Volkswagen Sachsen, commented, "The transformation to electric mobility is a huge task for Volkswagen, Volkswagen Sachsen and its workforce. We've successfully accomplished the first phase of that. Around half of the 1,500 new robots for body construction are already in operation, for example. The paint shop is currently being expanded and we'll commence conversion of the first line in final assembly as planned in the summer."
Rachel's career in journalism began around five years ago when she started working for UKi Media & Events, having recently graduated from Coventry University where she studied the subject. Her favourite aspect of the job is interviewing industry experts, including researchers, scientists, engineers and technicians, and learning more about the groundbreaking technologies and innovations that are shaping the future of the automotive and tire industries.

Q: Nautilus interactive search activated only after typing second letter I use Nautilus 3.22.1 in Ubuntu 17.04.
When I type a search word, the search text box appears without taking into account first letter of my word. So I have to type twice first letter, which is not practical.
Is there a parameter to change into preferences so the interactive search takes the whole search word without missing first letter ?
I looked up in Nautilus preferences with dconf but I did found any thing.

Ohio's Voter Removal Law Is… Probably Not Illegal
Ohio removes people from the voting rolls if they have failed to vote in the past two years and then fail to respond to a notice and fail to vote during the next four years after that. But federal law says that you can't remove someone from the rolls for failure to vote. So is Ohio breaking the law, since failure to vote is what precipitates this process? Or are they OK because there's more here than just failure to vote?
That depends on what the law actually says. I was curious, so I took a look at the text of the 1993 motor voter law. Here's the relevant section:
Any State program or activity to protect the integrity of the electoral process by ensuring the maintenance of an accurate and current voter registration roll for elections for Federal office…shall not result in the removal of the name of any person from the official list of voters registered to vote in an election for Federal office by reason of the person's failure to vote, except that nothing in this paragraph may be construed to prohibit a State from using the procedures described in subsections (c) and (d) of this section to remove an individual from the official list of eligible voters if the individual – (A) has not either notified the applicable registrar (in person or in writing) or responded during the period described in subparagraph (B) to the notice sent by the applicable registrar; and then (B) has not voted or appeared to vote in 2 or more consecutive general elections for Federal office.
Section (c) is about purging voter rolls based on change-of-address information from the Post Office. Here is section (d):
A State shall not remove the name of a registrant from the official list of eligible voters in elections for Federal office on the ground that the registrant has changed residence unless the registrant…has failed to respond to a notice…and has not voted or appeared to vote…in an election during the period beginning on the date of the notice and ending on the day after the date of the second general election for Federal office that occurs after the date of the notice.
The Ohio program follows this to the letter: they send a notice, and then purge you from the voting rolls if you fail to vote over the next four years—which is two federal elections. The only remaining question, then, is the same one we started with: Does the precipitating event have to be evidence of a change of residence, or can it be failure to vote?
Section (c) of the law is all about using change-of-address information as a reason to start the removal process, and the fact that there's a separate Section (d) implies that there can be other reasons too. The question, then, is whether failure to vote for two years can be one of them. As near as I can tell, the motor voter law is silent about that.
I have to confess that Ohio's procedure doesn't sound entirely unreasonable to me. No one questions that there's a legitimate state interest in keeping voter rolls up-to-date, and there are a limited number of ways to do that. I'm not sure what the technical legal standard is here, but my personal view is that this seems like an arguably sensible approach that's probably within the purview of a state to enact. I suspect the Supreme Court will see it the same way.
