People Elevated to God-like Status: the inaugural members
Today marks the start of a new category on the blog: people elevated to God-like status (do you like the banner? Impressive, huh?). There are actors, writers, performers and other creative types who produce things that fill our lives with joy. Then there are people who hold opinions so right, so accurate, that they are as gods, walking among us. This category will celebrate them.
Today, I'm going to launch the category with two inaugural members: Charlie Brooker and Stewart Lee. Really, I was just going to start with Stewart Lee but then I realised that that would mean Charlie Brooker wouldn't be the first member of the elite, which just wouldn't do. So they're both going in at the same time.
I'm not going to say much about Charlie Brooker, since I've already said rather a lot. Instead, I'm going to focus on Stewart Lee. Now, whatever you think about a certain opera, Fist of Fun and a whole load of other things he's done over the years, he was automatically granted membership of this glorious category purely as a result of comments he made on Charlie Brooker's Screen Wipe this week. I will let his wisdom speak for itself.
Christ, I've just realised Chris Morris needs to be in here, too. Okay. That's three then.
Third-episode verdict: Primeval
Primeval has a problem. Okay, it has lots of problems. But its central problem is pacing.
Like a shark swimming along in the ocean, it needs pace. If it slows down, it collapses under the weight of two miles of silliness.
Now the first episode was just fine, nipping along fast enough that you could overlook the masses of plotholes. It was stupid but perfectly acceptable, particularly if you're a kid. The second episode slowed things down a bit, but filled in the gaps with great big giant spiders.
The third episode, though, committed the ultimate crime of being boring: a show about dinosaurs must not, should not be boring.
However, there are other problems. Hannah Spearitt may be 26 and there to appeal to kids, but having her dancing around in her undies is disturbingly close to a widescreen version of Minipops; having her flirt with a lump of man-granite (James Murray) and a student version of Norman Bates (Andrew Lee Potts) is probably illegal in most countries.
Then there's Dougie. Somewhere during the second episode – I probably blinked and missed it – Dougie Henshall must have been shot by a tranquilliser dart, because he's been wandering around with a dazed expression ever since.
This is probably because of the sub-plot with his wife. I'm sure it's supposed to appeal to the adults while the kids snort up the beasties like so much crack cocaine. But we're supposed to believe in a woman who's decided she'd quite like to spend time with dinosaurs back in the past, but doesn't trust her hubbie enough not to bring some of his mates, so fakes her own death instead? Then, after eight years, she gets a bit lonely and asks him if he'd like to come back with her, but instead of turning up at their house, she starts giving messages to his pals when they're close to death along the lines of "Why don't you come back and see me some time – about 80 million years should do it, love, and don't forget the weekly Sainsbury's shop, cos we're going to need plenty of loo rolls."
All that time by herself and she has, to use one of my wife's expressions, gone doolally tap. No wonder Dougie looks dazed by it all. He's probably calculating precisely how much he's going to have to spend on psychiatric and hospital bills.
I'm not predicting this is going to get any better – in fact, it's probably going to get worse – so I'm probably being generous by declaring that Primeval has earned a three or "Minor Caruso" on The Carusometer quality scale. A three on The Carusometer corresponds to "a show in which David Caruso might guest star. If dinosaurs feature in it, it will be impossible to decide which is more convincing, him or the dinosaurs. Throughout the episode, he will insist on doing a 'cock-a-knee' accent that will make it impossible for any other actors to keep a straight face. He will then storm off set, shouting about how he can't work with amateurs."
The weird and whacky world of late night signing
Hard though it might be to believe, we don't watch much television in our house. Friends re-runs and episodes of Charmed are as much as we usually stretch to. Occasionally, though, we'll record things and watch them later, although it takes us some time.
Case in point is Heston Blumenthal's In Search of Perfection, which was on over Christmas and which we only started watching yesterday. In case you're not aware of our Heston, he's a chef: he runs The Fat Duck, a three-star Michelin restaurant once voted the best place to eat in the world*. His unique selling point is that he mixes cookery with science, performing experiments with food to produce the best tastes he possibly can. Liquid nitrogen as a freezing agent to prevent crystals forming in ice cream, carbon dioxide bubbled through a mixture to give fish batter the best possible crunchiness – it's all in Heston Blumenthal's stride.
Thing is, we set the PVR to record a late night repeat of In Search of Perfection, not a daytime showing. Of course, we belatedly realised, that means it was part of the Beeb's late-night Sign Zone, in which popular programmes are enhanced with British Sign Language (BSL) signing for the benefit of the deaf.**
Now, I don't know about you, but when I watch anything signed, I tend to ignore the signer and focus on the main picture. It's not exactly hard. So I'm oblivious to what's going on.
At least, I would be if it weren't for my wife.

Fast Times In Mapleton: The Little Town (sort of) That Was
Note: A version of this post is set to appear in the summer 2019 issue of the Butler Tarkington Neighborhood Association newsletter. If you live in the neighborhood and want to read it in print, stop now.
The area which would become Butler Tarkington was predominantly agricultural from the mid-1800's to the early 1900's, and as noted in previous posts, including several large fruit farms. Aside from these agricultural endeavors, one of the early population centers was centered around the intersection of present-day Illinois and 38th Streets. The area was called Mapleton, and was never formally incorporated as a town, but was more of a small, village-like community centered around what would become a major intersection for this area of Indianapolis, and for the future Butler Tarkington neighborhood.
In the latter half of the 19th century and into the early 20th, 38th St. was known by several different names including 32nd and 34th Streets (thanks to repeated renumbering of streets) and eventually as Maple Road (or street or avenue depending on the sources). The latter name would stay in place up until the early 1900's. It isn't clear whether Mapleton was named for Maple Road, or vice versa. However, the source of both names appears rooted in the prevalence of sugar maples in the area village and lining 38th Street. Another possible source of the Mapleton name may have been attributable to the Theodore P. and Hannah Haughey family, who owned several sections of land along 38th St. in southern Butler Tarkington. The family was rather prominent in the second half of the 19th century, and Theodore was heavily involved in various community and business affairs in Indianapolis.

The family's summer home (they lived downtown until around 1890), was located in southern part of Butler Tarkington, just north of 38th St. in the block between Boulevard and Capitol, was named 'Mapleton' and appears to have been constructed in the 1850's. Again, it is likely the name of the home was rooted in the abundance of sugar maple trees in the area, although whether the area would take the name Mapleton because of the house, or the trees is unclear.
Mapleton was platted as a town/village, although there are conflicting dates of either 1871 or 1889 for this event. A survey map of Indianapolis and Marion County by Samuel Morrison from around 1875 shows Mapleton as a small platted area north of downtown Indianapolis.
As described by Berry Sulgrove in his 1884 History of Indianapolis and Marion County, Mapleton consisted of about 300 citizens on both the north and south sides of 38th St., and boasted a church, grade school, blacksmith, a store owned by Theodore F. Harrison, and a post office. Allegedly the post office was initially sought when the area was called "Sugar Grove," well before the name Mapleton came on the scene. However, there was already a Sugar Grove in Tippecanoe County, so the office was declined. Eventually, the Sugar Grove name was dropped in favor of Mapleton, and the village received its post office in 1881. Grocer Theodore Harrison was named the post master, with the office being hosted in his store.
Indianapolis News, December 3, 1881
Harrison's store/post office was located on the northeast corner of 38th and Illinois, roughly where the old flower shop now stands. A welding and metal shop still operates at the same location as the balcksmith just south of the McDonalds on the south side of the intersection.
In regard to of the church, originally locals in the area formed the Sugar Grove (more tree references) Methodist Episcopal congregation in 1855 (there had been other less organized congregation preceding this), and constructed a small wood framed church, located in the southern parking lot for the present day North United Methodist Church. The name of the church would be changed to the Mapleton Methodist Church several years later and in June of 1900 a larger structure was constructed (photo above, Indianapolis News) around the existing building to provide more space for the congregation. Not long after this construction, Maple Road/38th St. was expanded and the church was lifted and moved farther back from the street. Eventually this church would be replaced by the still standing North United Methodist Church in 1931.

Eventually the city sprawl began to reach out and envelope Mapleton. The post office was closed and in 1900 replaced by a new location at 34th and Illinois. The Haughey family, rocked by scandal resulting from the failure of the Indianapolis National Bank in the early 1890's (for which Theodore Haughey himself served time in the state prison at Michigan City, as he was president of that institution), relinquished much of their land in Mapleton and the surrounding area. Media reports from the time suggest this was at least partially due to debts owed from the banking fiasco (Historic Indianapolis has an excellent post detailing this financial collapse here).
Indianapolis and Marion County Atlas from 1889 showed Mapleton as a collection of building clustered around Illinois and 38th Street, just northeast of Crown Hill
By the turn of the century the remainder of the Haughey land in Mapleton was subdivided. The section encompassing the northwest corner of 38th and Illinois was called Haughey's Mapleton Subdivision.

Note the use of the Mapleton name, the Haughy property (now only in Hannah's name) and their large home on the left side of the image, and their new subdivsion on the northwest corner of Illinois and 38th. The Mapleton Church was located in the blue shaded lot on 38th Street just under the 'M' in Martindale. It is unclear why Illinois Street appears to 'T' at 38th St. Source: IUPUI Sanborn and Baist Collection
With the expanding neighborhoods in the area, Mapleton began to fade, and by the end of World War I, the Mapleton name had disappeared from maps of Indianapolis. In the following years the southern sections of the Butler Tarkington were completely subdivided into neighborhoods, and the construction of new neighborhoods continued steadily northward.
Despite the passing of the Mapleton name, the remnants of the village continued. For years afterwards, starting in 1928, the 'Mapletonians' of the Old Mapleton Association, open to anyone who lived or had ties to the Mapleton area, would gather for reunions, often at the North United Methodist Church at 38th and Meridian, or at various parks around Indianapolis.
Indianapolis Star, September 14, 1966
In 1971, the Indianapolis Star reported on the reunion, at the time in its 44th year, and noted a song that the association would sing in remembrance of Mapleton. While several verses long, the start of the song harkened back to the early days of Mapleton, when the roads in the area were still predominantly dirt: "Mapleton, old Mapleton, Your Streets were ankle deep with dust, But they've been paved as good streets must..." To see the rest of the song, check out the clipping from the Indystar.
Additionally, some of the subdivided land of the former Mapleton area still contain legal descriptions harkening back to the Mapleton years. Subdivisions west and northwest of the Illinois and 38th intersection have legal names, as listed on the property cards maintained by the city, like Arthur V. Brown's Mapleton Addition, CG Weiss' Mapleton Addition, and Haughey's Mapleton Addition. The Mapleton-Fall Creek neighborhood of Indianapolis, southeast of Illinois and 38th St., also draws part of its name from the portion of Mapleton south of 38th St. Various businesses in the Midtown area also use the Mapleton name in various capacities.
The Mapleton vicinity has also been the target of various redevelopment efforts by the city and non-profits. In the 1990's the city issued the Maple Road Area Urban Design Proposal (left) which was focused on the commercial revitalization of the area around the former Mapleton. More recently, the Great Places 2020 Initiative has rebranded the area as "Maple Crossing" and has included the expansion of facilities at Tarkington Park, as well as commercial redevelopment efforts as part of the area's revitalization goals. Side note, my wife designed the 'Maple Crossing' mural which currently fills the windows of the old flower shop when she was the communications director at Keep Indianapolis Beautiful.

Searching for the Riverside Park Bear Pit


Everyone said the Graces were witches. They moved through the corridors like sleek fish, ripples in their wake. Stares followed their backs and their hair. They had friends, but they were just distractions. They were waiting for someone different. All I had to do was show them that person was me.
I found myself dying to find out who the Graces were, and what they were being so darn secretive about. The Graces are a wealthy family who are well-known by everyone in their small coastal town. The three siblings; Thalia, Fenrin, and Summer, are idolised by their peers at high-school. Everyone in the family is beautiful, but they are also cold and aloof. As a family, the Graces are very cliquey, disposing of their friends as quickly as people can flock to them. It seems like 'normal' people are not quite good enough to get in with the Graces permanently, but River Page is determined to prove that she is worth their time.
At the start, The Graces is a little bit Twilight-esque, with mysterious families and brooding hotties, but it quickly diverges and leaves behind the brewing romance in favour of unravelling the mystery of the Graces. Although River has a crush on Fenrin, her main focus is to become part of their family (which was a relief because at the beginning the Twilight vibes unsettled me a little).
River becomes obsessed with the Graces, to the point where she severely alters her personality to try and fit in with them. Every sentence she speaks is controlled, and she calculates all of her actions in the hope of fitting in with the three siblings. Her whole life is quickly consumed with her fascination and desire to be one of them. She sees something in the Graces that resonates within her; River believes that their power may be able to help her with her own personal problems and secrets.
I loved how unreliable (and unlikeable) River was. River is quite an unusual person; she doesn't have any friends, she has a mysterious background, and she has what she calls a 'coal-black' soul (a bit emo, I know, but you won't mind once you get to the end). To put it bluntly, River is not a nice person. She is cold, calculating, obsessive, and she believes that she is somehow better than everyone else in the school (besides the Graces, obviously) even though she never really gives anyone a chance. Also, River lies. A LOT. To the people around her, and even to the reader. We don't even know what her real name is, and we don't find out her motivation for befriending the Graces until the end. I thought that River was a really intriguing character, her hidden motives and the mystery surrounding her true identity was captivating. I was always wondering what she would do next, and what lengths she would go to to fit in.
My only complaint is that some of the dialogue was a little cheesy. Like I said before, things got a tiny bit emo every now and again and some of the dialogue from these supposedly 15-17 year-old characters sometimes felt a little overdone. That is really my only complaint out of the entire book though, because I was much too busy being totally enthralled by the mysteries that were unfolding.
…And the ending was so SO good. It was exciting and super dark and twisty and I can't believe I have to wait till September 2017 for the next instalment. I urgently need to know more about the Graces and River and where the next story will take them.
Overall I think that The Graces is an excellent read that deals with themes like magic, elitism, the pull of the 'Other', and most fundamentally, the idea of fitting in.
Thanks to Faber and Allen & Unwin for sending me a copy of this awesome book.
Great review! I want to read this even more now!


As a recap, N and I were in Munich twice, in our holiday trip to Bavaria. We stayed in Munich, before proceeding to Nuremberg and Hallstatt, and then returned to Munich for 2 nights prior to our departure.
One thing worth mentioning was that we revisited Schneider Bräuhaus München, on our return to Munich.
We first visited Schneider Bräuhaus München on our first night in Munich. Convinced by the positive reviews in Tripadvisor, we decided to queue up for a taste of its fabled schnitzel. It was almost 7pm by the time we reached, which was well into dinner time, so we had to queue for at about 20 minutes before we were offered seats at the high table, sharing with another couple.
On our 2nd visit, we got clever (or rather, we had more time on our hands, since we did not plan much for our time before departure) and arrived at 5-plus. We were swiftly escorted to a proper table and had the attention of the server for most of our time there. (In fact, by the time we left at 6 plus, the place was just about to fill up).
Given that we had a rather bad experience on our first visit (the server was too busy to attend to us, we were just accommodating to the new, non-English-speaking environment), what was it that made us return?
On our first visit, we ordered Cordon Bleu and Assorted Bratwurst, then we ordered Schnitzel and Suckling Pig.
The reason why I wanted to return to Schneider Bräuhaus München was for the unique breaded batter; somehow, there was a sweet, milky taste to it that I had not tasted anywhere, much less in Munich/Austria. That made the eating experience like eating cookies with a different texture!
More over, as with all pork in Bavaria, the meat was did not taste or smell like the way they do in Singapore. And since the pork in Schneider Bräuhaus München was covered in that milky breaded butter, add on the freshness of the meat, and the overall experience was more than gratifying.
The Cordon Bleu and Schnitzel were both covered in that tasty breaded crust and looked basically like each other, except that the Cordon Bleu contained cheese to give each bite an added savoury, chewy oomph. Also, beware not to bite too hard into the Cordon Bleu, for that was not a pure pork cutlet; it had bones in it.
The assorted bratwurst came in 5 types of bratwurst. But to be honest, after the 1st few bites, one could barely tell the difference (perhaps a person who had eaten bratwurst long enough will beg to differ), though the curry bratwurst was spicy enough for it to be identified on its own.
The suckling pig would be a Singaporean heaven. The serving was huge, with equally tender portion of fats mixed with lean meat, drenched in unique gravy that complemented the meat.
All these meals were paired with their in-house beer, which was amazingly smooth and easy on the throat. The beer goes very well, not just with the pork (by neutralising the strong taste of pork), but was also a good accompaniment for chit chats amongst friends through the night!
Schneider Bräuhaus München was set near the fringe of old city grounds, so the building it is located in was full of old-world charm.
The cavernous beer hall was filled with old wooden engravings, pictures and quaint old-style windows. I can't say it is right out of a medieval setting (since I have zero knowledge of how things were like in the Dark Ages), the whole interior design do make one feel awwww and convinced that we had stepped through time.
The servers were also dressed up like the lady on the mik powder can, which I did not think was conducive for them to carry out their work. However, it did add on to the overall feel that we were in a time far far away.
The amazing thing about these ladies were the fact that they could carry a whole tonne of food stuff on their serving plates that were as huge as a lorry wheel (or perhaps bigger). Initially, I thought those were for show, until I witnessed them filling it up with mugs after mugs of beer and plates after plates of schnitzels.
And guess what? Despite the heavy loads, they were still able to worm their way through the crowd, without spilling anything on the way.
As mentioned, the schnitzel there taste different from the other schnitzels, which makes a very compelling case. Their beer was also smooth, yet not intoxicating, which makes a visit there superb for a group of friends looking to connect with each other rather than to get dead-drunk.
Of course, considering the cavernous hall that can cater a huge number of customers, it is a testament to their quality and appeal when you see the queue outside the restaurant.


The book includes over 350 photos and captions illustrating beach and bluff erosion, the effects of wind and waves, and the formation of spits and estuaries. It highlights both successful and unsuccessful approaches to erosion control and beach protection, including many of Bauer's own beach designs.

One Model Predicts U.S. COVID-19 Death Toll Could Be Much Lower Than Originally Expected
(TheLibertyRevolution.Com)- Despite what was the worst day yet in the coronavirus pandemic in the United States, some U.S. officials are seeing optimistic signs that the outcome of this pandemic may not be as worse as originally feared.
On Tuesday, authorities throughout the country reported an addition 30,700 people were infected by the coronavirus, with more than 1,800 deaths on that day. New York alone reported 731 deaths on Tuesday, but the number of new patients who were admitted to hospitals seems to be going down.
As Governor Andrew Cuomo said:
"Right now, we're projecting that we are reaching a plateau in the total number of hospitalizations, and you can see the growth and you see it starting to flatten. Change in daily ICU admissions is way down, and that's good news. The daily intubations number is down, and that's good news. The discharge rate is right about where it was."
One model that has been widely cited for projections throughout the pandemic is one conducted by the University of Washington. About a week ago, the model predicted approximately 94,000 deaths in the U.S. as a result of COVID-19 by late summer. On Tuesday, that number shifted down to about 82,000, and on Wednesday morning, it was revised down again to 60,400.
The University of Washington model has consistently predicted lower infection rates and death totals than other models. That being said, some West Coast states are sending ventilators to New York since they have a less urgent need for them in their own state.
Two of the pandemic's central figures from the medical community said numbers like these were hopeful. As Dr. Deborah Birx, the White House's coronavirus response director, said:
"You're starting to see that we may be actually — in a series of communities outside of New York, New Jersey and Connecticut — creating a much flatter graph, a much flatter curve. It really gives us great heart."
And Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said:
"Everybody who knows me knows I'm very conservative about making projections, but those are the kind of good signs that you look for. You never even begin to think about claiming victory prematurely, but that's the first thing you see when you start to see the turnaround."
Still, other medical experts didn't want to jump to conclusions that the U.S. is over the hump, so to speak, and ready to move on with daily life as normal. The director of health informatics at the University of Chicago's Center for Spatial Data Science, Marynia Kolak, for example, said data they collected doesn't show the U.S. has gotten through the worst of it yet.
"From all the data we have, it suggests we're just beginning to approach the peak for several regions of the country."
Even the University of Washington model predicts the apex of deaths as a result of COVID-19 won't come until April 16, which means death tolls should continue to increase every day until then.

Backed by a USA -led coalition, Iraqi soldiers launched the Mosul operation in October.
The operation has been backed by a US-led coalition battling ISIL in Syria and Iraq, which has carried out waves of air strikes against the group and deployed military advisers on the ground.
The militants are locked in the district of Maydan on the banks of the River Tigris, where Islamic State's Amaq news agency said there had been "fierce fighting" and that IS fighters are "holding onto their fortified positions".
According to AFP, when Iraqi forces launched an assault on the Old City on June 18, foreign fighters accounted for only 20 percent of the 1,200 jihadists identified at the time.
Nov 23, 2016- Shiite-dominated paramilitary units known as the Hashed Al-Shaabi said they have cut Daesh supply lines between Mosul and the militants' Syrian stronghold Raqqa.
Washington, Baghdad, Mosul - Iraq will imminently announce a final victory in its battle to retake Mosul from ISIS, a USA general said.
But most Iraqi fighters fled by mingling in with the flood of civilians fleeing the Old City.
Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi has arrived in Mosul to congratulate the country's security forces on their "great victory" in liberating the city from Islamic State terrorists after an eight-month-long operation.
A woman screams while fleeing with her family through a destroyed alley, as Iraqi Special Forces continue their advance against Islamic State militants, in the Old City of Mosul, Iraq.
"For children and their families to process these horrors and rebuild their lives, psychological support will be absolutely crucial", said Ana Locsin, Save the Children's Iraq country director.
Stripped of Mosul, Islamic State's dominion in Iraq will be reduced to mainly rural, desert areas west and south of the city, where tens of thousands of people live. USA warplanes began air strikes against ISIL in August 2014, at the request of the Iraqi government.
With Mosul, a city that had a population of around two million three years ago, the "caliphate" loses one of the main hubs of its administration and IS one of the most potent symbols of its might.

The gross profit formula is calculated by subtracting the total cost of goods sold from the total sales of the company.
Both the total sales and cost of goods sold can be found on the profit & loss statement. Occasionally, cost of goods sold can be broken down into smaller categories of costs like raw materials and labor cost.
Gross profit margin also shows value addition done by the company on the raw material. More gross profit margins mean a company can sale its value addition at a higher price than its peer. More gross profit margins also tell about the competitive advantage company is having, as more gross profit margins mean a company is having pricing power.
Above mentioned equation looks at the absolute dollar amount of gross profit for the company, but many times it is helpful to calculate the gross profit margin or rate as a percentage.
The Gross Profit Margin formula is calculated by subtracting the cost of goods sold from net sales and dividing the difference by net sales. Generally, a gross profit margins calculator would rephrase this equation and simply divide the total gross profit dollar amount we mentioned above by the net sales.
Mrs. ABC owns a furniture business that designs and manufactures high-end furniture for offices and residential. She has several different types of furniture and has proven to be one of the most successful brands in her space. Below is what appears on Mrs. ABC's profit and loss statement at the end of the financial year.
Mrs. ABC want to know her gross profit & gross profit margins.
As you can see, Mrs. ABC has a GP of $65,000. This means the goods that she sold for only cost her $ 35,000 to produce. Now she has $65,000 that can be used to pay for other indirect bills like utilities and rent.
Mrs. ABC is currently achieving a 65 percent gross profit on her furniture business. This means that for every dollar of sales Mrs. ABC generates, she earns 65 cents in gross profits before other business expenses are paid.
The gross profit method is an important ratio because it shows investors and management how efficiently the business can produce and sell products. In simple words, it shows how profitable a product is when it comes to the cost of goods sold.
The concept of gross profit is particularly important to management, cost accountants and investors because it allows them to forecast future activities and create budgets. For example, Mrs. ABC's gross profit was $ 65,000. It means if she wants to be profitable for the whole financial year, all of her other costs must be less than $65,000. Conversely, Mrs. ABC can also view the $65,000 as the amount of money that can be put toward other business expenses or expansion into a new business or new markets.
Investors are typically interested in gross profit margins as a percentage because this shows them to compare margins between peer companies no matter their sales volume or size. For example, an investor can see Mrs. ABC's 65 percent gross profit margin and compare it to XYZ's gross profit margins even though XYZ is a billion-dollar firm. It also allows investors a chance to see how much profit the firm's core business activities are.
Eicher Motors is a good example of higher gross profit margins than peers. Eicher Motors has the highest gross profit margins compared to all its peers. It shows the company has a strong core business operation and has pricing power to pass on the increase in raw material cost to customers. It makes more sense to invest in such a company which has good gross profit margins and has pricing power over the customers. It shows how healthy business growth was and it will be.
Investors also use gross profit margins to measure the scalability of the business. Good gross profit margins business investors can run different models with her margins to compare how profitable the company would be at different levels of sales.
Here we will do the same example of the Gross Profit Margin formula in Excel. It is very easy and simple. You need to provide the two inputs of Gross Profit and Gross Profit Margin.
You can easily calculate the Gross Profit Margin formula in the template provided.
So first we need to calculate Gross Profit.
Then we need to calculate Gross Profit Margin using Formula.
This has been a guide to Gross Profit Margin formula, here we discuss its uses along with practical examples. We also provide you with Gross Profit Margin calculator along with downloadable excel template.

The original theatrical poster.
Ernest Saves Christmas is a Christmas comedy film directed by John Cherry and released by Touchstone Pictures in 1988. It is the third theatrical film starring Jim Varney as his commercial spokesman character, Ernest P. Worrell.
A man who claims to be Santa Claus arrives at the Orlando International Airport. Ernest P. Worrell is working as a taxi driver. He later picks up Santa Claus, who tells him that he is on his way to inform a local personality named Joe Curruthers that he has been chosen to be the new Santa Claus. Joe hosts a children's program in the Orlando area, similar to Mister Roger's Neighborhood, with emphasis on manners and integrity with the catchphrase "They never get old. They always stay new. Those three little words, 'Please' and 'Thank You'."
While they are driving, a runaway teenage girl who says she is named Harmony Starr joins Ernest and Santa in the cab. When they get to their destination, Santa possesses no legal currency (only play money), so in his giving Christmas spirit, Ernest lets him ride for free. The decision gets him fired. Back at the taxi garage, he discovers that Santa left his magic sack behind in the cab's trunk, and he begins a quest to find the old man and return it to him.
Santa arrives at the Orlando Children's Museum to talk to Joe, but is interrupted and rebuffed by his agent, Marty Brock. He misunderstands Santa's name, thinking he said "Mr. Santos," and continues to call him by that name, even when he tells him his real name. He begins to worry as he then discovers he lost his sack, and becomes more discouraged as he realizes he is becoming forgetful in his old age (he's 151 years old, indicating he was born in 1837). Joe does not believe Santa's story and Marty has him arrested. Meanwhile, Ernest goes over to his neighbor Vern's house, to put up a Christmas tree. He poses as Astor Clement, an employee of the governor and Harmony as the governor's niece, and the two help Santa escape from jail by convincing the police chief that believing that he is Santa Claus is "infectious insanity" and he must be taken to solitary confinement. Ernest disguises himself as an Apopka snake rancher (Lloyd Worrell from Knowhutimean? Hey Vern, It's My Family Album) who sneaks Santa into a movie studio and speaks to a security guard about delivering the snakes to people who direct horror films. Meanwhile, Marty presses Joe to quit his children's job, shave his beard, and instead land a part in a horror film titled Christmas Slay a movie about an alien which terrorizes a bunch of children on Christmas Eve which offends Santa so deeply he punches the director in the eye.
Santa tracks down Joe at his home, but he finally tells him, "Thanks...no thanks." Later on, however, he is overcome by conscience when the director wants him to use foul language, which he refuses to say in front of the kids on the set.
Ernest and Harmony discover the magic power of Santa's sack, and immediately Harmony starts to abuse it. She steals it, and attempts to run away yet again. On Christmas Eve, however, her conscience prevails, and she rushes back to find Ernest and Santa and return it.
Eventually, Joe hunts down Santa on Christmas Eve and accepts the job. For the first year, however, Ernest gets to drive the sleigh. The film ends with, "Merry Christmas To All And To All A Good Night," followed by a sleigh dash that spells, KnowWhatIMean?, one of Ernest's catchphrases.

The middle class black women who people Judith Weisenfeld's history were committed both to social action and to institutional expression of their religious convictions. Their story provides an illuminating perspective on the varied forces working to improve quality of life for African Americans in crucial times.
When undertaking to help young women migrating to and living alone in New York, Weisenfeld's protagonists chose to work within a national evangelical institution. Their organization of a black chapter of the Young Women's Christian Association in 1905 was a clear step toward establishing a suitable environment for young working women; it was also an expression of their philosophy of social uplift. And predictably it was the beginning of an equal rights struggle—to work as equals with white women activists. Growing and adapting as New York's black community evolved over the decades, the black YWCA assumed a central role both in the community's religious life and as a training ground for social action. Weisenfeld's analysis of the setbacks and successes closes with the National YWCA's vote in 1946 to adopt an interracial charter and move toward integration of local chapters, thus opening the door to a different set of challenges for a new generation of black activists.
Weisenfeld's account gives a vibrant picture of African American women as significant actors in the life of the city. And it bears telling witness to the religious, class, gender, and racial negotiations so often involved in American social reform movements.

The remote host has been observed running a version of Foxit Reader that is subject to multiple attack vectors.
- An overflow condition exists that is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated when handling 'GoToR' actions. With a specially crafted PDF file, a context-dependent attacker can cause a stack-based buffer overflow, potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code.
- An overflow condition exists in the 'ConvertToPDF' plugin that is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated when handling 'SamplesPerPixel' values in TIFF images. With a specially crafted TIFF image, a context-dependent attacker can cause a heap-based buffer overflow, potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code.
- A use-after-free error that is triggered when handling image descriptions. With a specially crafted PDF file, a context-dependent attacker can dereference already freed memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
- An overflow condition exists that is triggered as user-supplied input is not properly validated when handling bezier data. With a specially crafted PDF file, a context-dependent attacker can cause a heap-based buffer overflow, potentially allowing the execution of arbitrary code.
- An unspecified out-of-bounds access flaw exists that is triggered as certain input is not properly validated. With a specially crafted PDF file, a context-dependent attacker can potentially execute arbitrary code.
- A flaw exists related to an uninitialized pointer being dereferenced when handling stretched images. With a specially crafted PDF file, a context-dependent attacker can potentially execute arbitrary code.
- An out-of-bounds read flaw exists in the 'ConvertToPDF' plugin that is triggered when converting BMP images. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to disclose arbitrary memory content.
- An out-of-bounds write flaw exists in the 'ConvertToPDF' plugin that is triggered when converting BMP images. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code.
- An out-of-bounds write flaw exists in the 'ConvertToPDF' plugin that is triggered when converting GIF images. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code.
- An out-of-bounds read flaw exists that is triggered when handling color components in JPEG images. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to disclose arbitrary memory content.
- An out-of-bounds read flaw exists in the 'ConvertToPDF' plugin that is triggered when converting JPEG images with specially crafted EXIF data. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to disclose arbitrary memory content.
- A flaw exists that is triggered as paths to 'exportData' are not properly checked. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code.
- A flaw exists that is triggered during the handling of SWF files embedded inside PDF files. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to bypass safe mode.
- A use-after-free error is triggered when handling 'FlateDecode'. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to dereference already freed memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.
- A use-after-free error is triggered when handling the layout direction of XFA files. This may allow a context-dependent attacker to dereference already freed memory and potentially execute arbitrary code.

Surprise in FOUR Ottawa area ridings: State of the race in Ottawa-West-Nepean, Orleans, Nepean, and Kanata-Carleton
Posted on October 8, 2015 by Alex Tétreault
Over the last few weeks, a series of polls has redefined the state of the electoral race in four local ridings. While some had originally looked like safe seats for incumbents, and others had looked like three-way races, we can now say that with more confidence that there are now a series of two-way races developing in several parts of the city. There's a good chance that these ridings could see new representatives come election day.
Ottawa-West-Nepean
Environics Research, September 2015
For most of the summer time leading up to the elections period, our analysis from previous years was telling us that while the Liberals and Conservatives were close to each other in the riding, we could just not count the NDP out. An initial riding level poll by Environics Research ran on September 20th ended up clarifying the situation, and put the Liberal candidate, Anita Vandenbeld ahead of the Conservative Abdul Abdi by 4 points, at 39% and 35% respectively, while the NDP was still sitting at their 2011 level at 20% of the projected vote.
Mainstreet Research, October 4th
The situation was soon confirmed and even amplified by two following polls from Forum Research and Mainstreet Research, putting Vandenbeld at the 46%-47% mark, and Abdul Abdi dropping from 35% to 29%, without any significant changes to the NDP and Green numbers.
Vandenbeld looks poised to take the riding on October 19th, but the race is still on. Things can still change and we must not be complacent.
Environics Research-September 20th
The riding of Orléans has shaped up to be what we had anticipated going into this election period: a two-way race between the Liberals and Conservatives.
The Environics Research Poll initially showed Liberal candidate Andrew Leslie with 51% and a 15 point lead over Conservative Royal Galipeau, with 36%. The NDP's Nancy Tremblay initially held 11% and the Greens trailed with 3%.
However, the Mainstreet Research poll released at the end of September indicated an 8 point loss for the Liberals as their numbers fell from 51% to 40%, and the Conservatives fell from 36% t0 33%. The gains made in the poll seem to have gone to the NDP, who shifted from 11% to 19% and the Greens, who shifted from 3% to 8%.
While threehundredeight.com is predicting Leslie at 53% versus Galipeau at 30%, showing a large gap, Leslie is still going at it like he's one vote behind. We also see this as a potentially close race. The Mainstreet poll can be an indicator of a much closer race than we'd think.
Nepean is a new story, in a sense. It has been formed in a national rearrangement of ridings in 2012. Initially, the riding looked like a shoe-in for Poilièvre's former aide, Andy Wang, but it is now looking slightly different.
In late September, the Environics Research poll showed Wang with a 6 point lead over Liberal candidate Chandra Arya with 40% and 34% points respectively, while the NDP and Green candidates Devine and Cooke remained at 19% and 8% respectively. The two-way race was clear then.
The more recent Mainstreet Research polls (October 4th), however, show a slightly different story. Liberal candidate Chandra seems to have caught up with Wang, leading him by one point at 42% vs. 41% respectively, putting them in a statistical tie, while the NDPs' Sean Devine is down to 13%, and the Greens' Jean-Luc Cooke is also down to 4%.
Environics Research, October 11th.
This week, our latest Environics poll numbers are showing a shift from the NDP and Green voters towards the Arya, putting him ahead of Wang with 47% vs 40%, showing a clear trend towards the Liberal candidate.
The race is still tight in Nepean. It has clearly become a battleground riding as we move towards election day.
Kanata-Carleton
This riding follows the trend in Nepean. It was created in 2012 and is an amalgamation of the majority of the old Carleton-Mississippi Mills riding and a part of the old Nepean-Carleton riding. Up until last week, it looked like another Conservative stronghold. Much like Nepean, however, the story has changed.
An earlier Environics Research poll showed a 7 point lead for Conservative Walter Pamic with 44% over Liberal Karen McCrimmon with 37%. The NDP and Greens were trailing with 13% and 5% respectively.
The Mainstreet Research polls released last week indicated a tighter race between the Liberals and Conservatives than originally anticipated. This polls showed another very close race with Pamic at 45% and a mere 2 point lead over McCrimmon with 43%, with the NDP at 8% and Greens at 4%.
Our latest Environics Research poll, however, is now showing an 11 point lead for McCrimmon at 50% over Pamic, sitting at 39%. As in Nepean, this is quite the unexpected surprise. Kanata-Carleton is now quite possibly changing. While we must consider this as a tight race, we can at least see Kanata-Carleton as another new unexpected battleground riding.
And so, we're now looking at possibly four ridings that can elect MPs from one of the opposition parties on October 19th. Complacency is not our friend at the moment, but at least we can now look at a possibly of four changes. Let's keep up our good work!

The Comparator lets you compare our partners for free and find attractive and personalized insurance terms. We put you in contact with our local partners. Major motorcycle insurers include: Mutuelle des Motards, AMV, MAAF, Euro Assurance, AssurBike, FMA, etc.
Why insure your motorcycle ?
The law requires you to insure your vehicle. This is called civil responsibility. This is the obligation to accept and repair any damages that you may cause to others by accident. Motorcycle insurance covers compensation for personal injuries and material damage caused by the driver or passengers. In any case, check the limits and nature of the cover of your motorcycle insurance (maximum claim, excess, etc.) The price of motorcycle insurance generally varies depending on the driver's profile, area of driving area, your type of vehicle but also your claims history (no-claims bonus).
What type of motorcycle insurance should I choose ?
This all depends on your profile but a third party, fire and theft insurance policy seems essential given the amount of damage and theft of a motorcycle. Are you a regular or occasional motorcyclist?
Be careful not to pay for options that do not match your driver profile.
