Proposed Tax Overhaul for Private Corporations
Standard financial and tax planning advice for the past several decades for business owners has included the use of incorporation to both insulate Canadians from business risk and liability and for asset building and income cash flow planning.
The validity of this tax policy is now under attack, as you have likely heard, now that the Federal Government is proposing major changes to the way private Canadian corporations are taxed and monitored in an effort to eliminate certain tax minimization strategies. The overhaul upends many decades of public policy and has led some to call for a Royal Commission given how drastic the changes are to public policy, the Canadian economy in general and the expected impacts on the business planning of individual Canadians.
The comment period for feedback to the proposed tax policies closes in October 2017 with a target implementation date of January 1, 2018. Below is a brief summary of the proposed changes.
The Federal Government is pointing to reasons such as income splitting or "sprinkling" amongst family members who are shareholders and the amount of taxable passive investment income that has tripled in the last 15 years, from $8.6 billion in 2002 to $26.8 billion in 2015 as justification for their proposed changes. They also point to the growth in the use of corporations by professionals, which has tripled in the last 15 years, and self-employed individuals*. Finally, the government is attempting to limit the use of corporations for passive investment purposes which enables asset accumulation at the corporate level.
There is also a move to extend the current tax on split income (TOSI) rules, also known as the "Kiddie Tax" rules, to all related party adults by considering labour and capital contributions to the business. The Federal Government will also restrict the ability to multiply the use of the Lifetime Capital Gains Exemption by family members or through the use of a Trust upon the disposition of the shares of the corporation.
What the policy changes fail to acknowledge is that incorporation allows business owners to build up cash reserves for times when business is poor and to smooth out capital requirements over time. It also fails to address the need for business owners to provide for their own pensions and to provide for rewards for taking risks in their business. This is unlike those many Canadians who have employer sponsored pension plans to fall back on.
Should the proposed changes get implemented without any amendments, then there are two points which are certain. The first is that the impact of the proposed tax changes will be broad and that every private corporation with multiple shareholders will likely be impacted. The second impact is that compliance costs for preparing corporate tax returns and the need for further organizational and operational reporting requirements will likely increase in order to comply with the proposed tax measures.
While the changes may have a major impact on many people, there are some factors that may mitigate the total impact. The first is that, under income tax principles, a dollar of income should attract the same level of overall tax whether taken as income or dividends now or in the future.
In addition, there are other advantages to incorporation that can still make it a viable strategy for Canadians. Ongoing tax planning might still incorporate the use of Holding Companies, to move passive investment assets outside of active corporations, as well as using investments that will not attract tax as a "passive income", such as the use of cash value life insurance, corporate class mutual funds and so on.
Please contact our office for an appointment to review how the proposed changes may impact you and what your planning options are!

Two PhD Positions at the Amsterdam School of Historical Studies
13 Jun 20 Aug Amsterdam
You cannot apply for this job anymore (deadline was 20 Aug 2022).
The Amsterdam School of Historical Studies (ASH) invites applications for two PhD positions at the Faculty of Humanities, tenable from 1 January 2023, for doctoral research in the field of the history of Hermetic Philosophy and Related Currents.
ASH represents and fosters the study of the human past from Antiquity to the present day. It brings together about 200 academics who participate in ca. 16 research groups. ASH is one of the six Research Schools/Institutes within the Amsterdam Institute for Humanities Research. Each research school/institute covers an important research area within the faculty and has its own research programme, and is also the home base for PhD candidates, who interact with each other and with senior members in the research groups that make up the research school.
The Centre for the History of Hermetic Philosophy and Related Currents (HHP) was founded in 1999 and plays a leading international role in its area of research. The Centre is part of the Department of History, European Studies and Religious Studies (GER) and participates in the Religious Studies teaching curriculum. It consists of five permanent staff members and several PhD students. The Centre focuses on critical historical research into a complex of movements in the border area between religion, philosophy, and science, today studied under the umbrella term of 'esotericism'. These include broad cultural traditions such as astrology, alchemy, and magic; and, with respect to historical periodisation, movements such as Neo-Platonism, Hermetism and Gnosticism in late antiquity; the transmission of the so-called occult sciences and the emergence of esoteric traditions in Judaism (Kabbalah) and Islam (Sufism) during the medieval period; the revival of Platonism and related currents during the Renaissance in the context of prisca theologia, philosophia perennis, and philosophia occulta; early modern and modern currents such as Paracelsianism, Christian theosophy, Kabbalah (both Jewish and Christian), Rosicrucianism, high-degree freemasonry, and illuminism; 19th-century movements such as spiritualism, occultism, and traditionalism; related popular currents of 'alternative spirituality' such as the New Age movement; and various forms of contemporary esotericism in popular culture. We are particularly interested in currents and movements that have taken shape in Christian, Jewish, and Islamic contexts, both separately or in conversation with each other, but we are also interested in processes of interaction with and dissemination in other cultural contexts.
We will consider research proposals focusing on any of the currents, movements, and periods mentioned above.
What are you going to do
You will execute your doctoral research on the basis of your own proposal, within a research area of the Amsterdam School of Historical Studies, under the supervision of at least two senior researchers of the Centre for the History of Hermetic Philosophy and Related Currents.
submission of a PhD thesis within the period of appointment;

On March 20 2012 a Ural Airlines Airbus A320 failed to taxi as instructed after vacating the landing runway 12L at Dubai and crossed the lit stop bar of an intersection access to runway 12R before stopping just in time to prevent a collision with a Boeing 777-300ER about to pass the intersection at very high speed on take off. Taxi clearance had been correctly given and acknowledged. The aircraft commander had extensive aircraft type experience but the inexperienced First Officer appeared to be undergoing early stage line training with a Safety Pilot present. The Investigation is continuing.
On 20 March 2012, an Airbus A320-200 being operated by Ural Airlines on a passenger flight from Krasnodar, Russia to Dubai failed to comply with its issued taxi clearance after vacating runway 12L at destination and, in a forward visibility reduced by blowing dust but still around 1000 metres, taxied past an intersection holding point for the parallel runway 12R as a Boeing 777-300ER being operated by Emirates Airline on a scheduled passenger service from Dubai to Hamburg was about to pass that intersection at very high speed on take off. The A320 then stopped just before entering the runway.
An Investigation was immediately commenced by the GCAA Air Accident Investigation Sector. The SSFDR from the Boeing 777 was subsequently removed and downloaded and data from the A320 'Digital Aids Recorder' was downloaded by the Operator and provided to the Investigation. Surface Movement Radar Recordings were also available.
The diagram below shows the layout of the runway sections and taxiways involved.
It was established that the arriving A320 had been advised prior to landing to expect an exit from runway 12L onto taxiway M9 and this had been correctly read back. After landing, the runway 12L controller cleared the aircraft to vacate via M9 and turn left onto the central taxiway 'M'. As the A320 was decelerating, the runway 12R controller - operating on a separate TWR frequency - had issued a take off clearance to the Boeing 777. Shortly after that, the A320 failed to turn left onto 'M' and continued straight ahead onto taxiway 'M11', crossed the lit red stop bar at a groundspeed of 22 knots and only stopped as the edge of the runway was approaching. Soon after the A320 stopped, the Boeing 777 passed from right to left in front at a groundspeed of over 150 knots with a clearance between the A320 nose and Boeing 777 wingtip estimated at just over 60 metres.
It was apparent that the taxiway layout could be considered conducive to the error made in that the RET from runway 12L led directly across the central taxiway where a left turn should have been made into a similarly aligned access directly onto runway 12R - see the view approaching taxiway 'M' taken from the Official Report below. However, the flight crew had still crossed a lit red stop bar in visibility which, although reduced, had not been so low as to be prejudicial to the sighting of runway signs, markings or lighting.

Q: How to change strings in the theme/core? When I use Joomla I can change a core string using the language files. So where it would say "Cart" you would go into the language file and change it to what you want it to say.
I want to be able to do this for one of our client's websites which uses WordPress. Is this possible? I am using the wpex-adapt theme.
The exact bit I want to change is on the Portfolio page on the individual item page where it says "newer" and "older" which I want to change to "previous" and "next".
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

A: This really depends on how your theme has been built, some themes supply a "Translations" file where you can edit most strings. These are usually .po files and can be found in the translations folder within your theme.
If that doesn't help out I would suggest grepping for the string you want to change, and manually editing the files then uploading them to the server.

A: Changing the code directly in your theme is a bad idea. What happens when that theme is next updated? Your changes are over-written.
If the theme is a decent one, it will have been written in such a way as to allow Child Themes. Build one, with the only deviation from the parent being the file with the buttons.
Alternatively, this is something you can probably achieve with JavaScript and CSS, which you could safely house inside a functionality plugin.

I just adore Lulie Wallace's work. I love her sense of color and composition. This tablescape inspired this fall floral outfit today. To transition some of your spring and summer dresses to fall just add a light jacket and darker shoes that have a more "fall" feel to them like these amazing Aquazzura heels. You know I love these shoes because I keep blogging about them right?
The earrings are just spectacular and the Cleobella clutch so much fun (and on sale!). I love the muted floral tones to this dress, plus the cut is so simple yet elegant.
How do you transition to a more "fall" wardrobe?

A 31P-NMR study of muscle exercise metabolism in mdx mice: evidence for abnormal pH regulation.
Dunn JF., Tracey I., Radda GK.
We have studied exercise metabolism in vivo in the mdx mouse model of Duchenne muscular dystrophy with 31P-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Intracellular pH, ratios of phosphocreatine (PCr) to ATP and PCr to inorganic phosphate (P(i)) expressed as PCr/ATP and PCr/(PCr+P(i)) as well as tension generated at the Achilles tendon were measured during sciatic nerve stimulation. Tension was similar between the mdx and control strain C57Bl/10ScSn at 10 Hz stimulation but slightly higher than the control at 100 Hz. The PCr/ATP and PCr/(PCr+P(i)) ratios were significantly reduced in mdx vs. control muscle during exercise. Although resting muscle pH in mdx mice is more alkaline than normal muscle, the pH of mdx muscle during exercise is reduced relative to controls, as is the rate of pH recovery. Total lactate is not elevated in the cells and so it is argued that there is a reduction in the capacity to export proton equivalents in muscles of mdx mice which could be caused by an elevation in intracellular sodium. This provides more evidence of impaired ionic regulation in dystrophic muscle and could be used as an index for the evaluation in vivo of therapeutic interventions such as myoblast transfer or gene replacement therapy.

Whether at the beach or right in your local park's pond, it's not hard to find a turtle or terrapin! Here are some adorable turtle crafts for your kids to make this summer (with step by step instructions) to keep their creative juices flowing!
Paper plates are always a favourite crafting resource of mine and this Paper Plate Turtle from The Resourceful Mama is ideal to make with Toddlers and Preschoolers.
These cupcake liner turtles from Crafty Morning are easy to make and quick. A perfect craft for when your kids say they want to make something.
After a trip to the beach, why not use the shells to create your own sea turtles like these turtle fridge magnets from Red Ted Art you could paint them like they have or you could dye your sea shells pretty colours and use them.
This T is for Turtle Craft from The East Coast Mummy is easy to make and perfect for some arty fun whilst learning letters.
A cute little craft and growing project for kids these Kid Made Turtle Herb Planters from Reading Confetti are a perfect summer activity for kids.
Another simple Turtle craft for younger kids to make – these Easy Coffee Filter Turtles from Look We're Learning are simple and quick – perfect toddler crafting.
As well as paper plates we always have some egg cartons laying around and these little egg carton sea turtles from Emma Owl are so cute.
One of my favourite summer activities has been to make a set of sea turtle stamps they are easy to make and look so cute printed.
If you don't have the materials for those stamps then why not try this cute little turtle craft using corks from Crafty Morning.
These Turtle Money banks from Krokotak are so cute and would be fun to make – just click on translate and you will have the full instructions in English as well.
This paper plate mosaic turtle from Busy Bee Kids Crafts is easy to make but from experience I know will work better using a hot glue gun so although younger children could make it I'v put it for older kids because of the need for the hot glue gun.
Another paper plate craft this time to make some Finding Nemo inspired turtles from I heart arts and crafts. He sure looks cute!
Another quick and easy craft and if you have any of these laying around you could make a whole nest of hatchlings so why not try this upcycled k-cup turtle craft from Craft Create Cook.
If you have any old CD's laying around then this Sea Turtle craft from the fantastic I Heart Arts and Crafts is so cute and I love how 3D he is.
Although I'm sure that younger children could attempt these Easy Rock Turtles from Easy Peasy and Fun. I know that now my children are older they could both be left to do them independently and all of the materials are easily found as well. A perfect summer craft for those "I'm bored Mum!" moments.
Make your own Turtle Cookies or use them to create some Turtle models out of salt dough, air drying clay or modelling clay with this fantastic set for creating Turtle Shapes.
If you haven't tried it soap making is a great activity to make with older kids these turtle moulds for soap making are just one of the many that you can find on Etsy and what's more you can then give these as gifts or make them together with friends.
This Paint your own Sea Turtle Stepping Stone kit would be a great addition to the garden and perfect for kids to make to put their stamp on the home as well.

Woman Who Climbed Mount Everest 9 Times Makes $11 an Hour Washing Dishes at Whole Foods
Nine — that's the number of times Lhakpa Sherpa has braved the chilling heights of Mount Everest, the tallest point on Earth towering 8,848 meters (29,029 feet) above sea level.
She holds the women's world record for Everest summits, and her plan to trek the mountain for the 10th time next year would only extend her feat.
But for someone who has stepped foot on what the vast majority of the world can only imagine visiting, Sherpa is not so different without her gear.
She works 40 hours a week washing dishes and hauling trash at a Whole Foods outlet in West Hartford, Connecticut, according to Business Insider.
That's a job that pays $11.50 an hour, which helps her with the bills and two daughters, ages 16 and 11.
Shera before her ninth ascent to Mount Everest. Image: Screenshot via YouTube / AP Archive
However, Sherpa always had an affinity for Everest.
One of 10 siblings, she grew up in Nepal gazing at mountains from a distance, including the highest peak on the planet.
Since then, nature has become Sherpa's "teacher," and without formal education, she found herself learning the practical side of life.
At age 27, she successfully reached the summit of Mount Everest for the first time.

Sherpa would later climb the peak eight more times and eventually hold a world record.
"This spring in 2018, I have climbed Mt.Everest for the ninth time!" she wrote in a journal entry.
"I climbed with some people who have never been to Nepal and they got their summit as well. The climb was very difficult. I had to leave my children in CT and also give up my dishwashing job although I have since picked that same job back up again."
#mounteverest 9th summit! ✌🏼 pic.twitter.com/lUaaEudzaU
— Cloudscape Climbing (@cloudscapeclimb) June 12, 2018
Like most climbers, Sherpa begins her trail with extensive preparation.
But as someone close to nature, she keeps rituals that help her stay safe for the long and arduous journey ahead — including meditation.
"I talk with the mountain … very quiet.
"I have children waiting for me. I need to go back," she tells Everest, remembering her daughters and 23-year-old son.
Image via Facebook / Lhakpa Sherpa
Sherpa, who started her own expedition company, Cloudscape Climbing, hopes to return to the summit next year.
She plans to take a crew to Kathmandu in April and begin their trek from that side of the mountain.
Good luck, Sherpa!

The Witcher Writer Leading Disney Plus Revival X-Men '97
Scott Campbell Nov 14, 2021 6:39 am Nov 14, 2021 6:39 am
It's been a long and winding process faced with rumor and conjecture at every turn, but Disney Plus Day finally confirmed that a revival of X-Men: The Animated Series was officially happening, and the key creatives for X-Men '97 are slowly being unveiled.
Even though we're not expecting it to be part of official Marvel Cinematic Universe canon, What If…? producer and the studio's Head of Streaming, Television and Animation Brad Winderbaum will be steering the ship from behind the scenes, and many of the major players have extensive experience in the animated realm.
Beau DeMayo has now been confirmed as lead writer and executive producer of X-Men '97, having previously penned the screenplay for Netflix's The Witcher: Nightmare of the Wolf and contributed to the first season of the live-action show. He's a noted fan of classic Disney animation after voicing his desire to tackle a Gargoyles reboot in the past, so he seems like a solid fit for the role.
The internet was thrilled to hear that the long-held dream of seeing the animated favorite is returning to our screens with brand new episodes, and the period-set X-Men '97 marks new ground for both Disney Plus and Marvel given that it's a reinvention of an existing property as opposed to a brand new one.

Q: probability after successful observation This might be a simple question but say you have a die with 1-6 as possible outcomes and you are looking for the probability of rolling a 3. This would be $1$ in $6$.
I roll the die once, and I get a 3. Does the probability change for the remaining $5$ rolls?


I'm calling it: June 30 is officially the worst day for celebrity couple news. Following the news that Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner called it quits after 10 years of marriage, news broke that the first openly gay football player to be drafted by the NFL, Michael Sam, reportedly split with his fiancé Vito Cammisano. The two became engaged six months ago.
According to Us Weekly, a source close to the athlete stated that the couple called off their engagement. "They've been rocky for months," an insider said of the pair, according to the report. Us Weekly also notes that Sam appears to have deleted all traces of Cammisano from his Instagram account, including a photo of the two from their January engagement.
The couple began dating in 2011. Their engagement earlier this year at St. Peter's Basilica in Vatican City was captured in a series of beautiful and emotional photos, which can be viewed over on Entertainment Tonight.
Neither Sam nor Cammisano has publicly confirmed the breakup.


Back in 2003 when nanotechnology first came across the radar of technology investors, a number of companies helped fuel excitement in this sector with promises of nano enabled breakthroughs that would disrupt entire industries. One company that seemed to show great promise was Nantero, and their efforts to create a form of memory that used carbon nanotubes (NRAM). 12 years later, and we finally see Nantero emerge from stealth mode with an announcement last week that the NRAM process has already been installed in seven production CMOS fabs and is currently being designed into innovative new electronic products.
Founded in 2000, Massachusetts based Nantero is looking to deliver a carbon nanotube memory product (NRAM) that will replace all existing forms of memory, such as DRAM, SRAM and flash memory. Nantero has taken in a total of $73 million in funding so far with a Series E funding round of $31.5 million being announced just last week which is the largest investment to date. Among the list of investors in this substantially oversubscribed round was Draper Fisher Jurvetson, arguably one of the most successful venture capital firms ever. DFJ has participated in every single investment round for Nantero so far. Disclosed partnerships for the Company include On Semiconductor (NASDAQ:ON), Lockheed Martin (NYSE:LMT), and Schlumberger (NYSE:SLB). Undsclosed partnerships include 2 major infrastructure companies, 6 leading semiconductor companies, and multiple leading foundries. The Company has over 180 US patents issued to date with more than 200 patents pending.
Nantero's business model is to license their broad IP portfolio to major chip manufacturers, foundries, and electronics companies around the world so that they can create products enabled with NRAM.
One very indirect way for retail investors to invest in Nantero is through buying shares in Harris and Harris Group (NASDAQ:TINY). Nantero is their 8th largest investment valued at $3.64 million with a cost basis of $1.72 million. At current face value, this represents just 4% of TINY's $90 million investment portfolio. With TINY trading just off their 52-week low, a successful exit from Nantero could provide a boost to the stock. DFJ wouldn't be participating in this latest funding round if they didn't see a viable liquidity event in the near future of either an IPO or an acquisition. For the sake of retail investors, let's hope we see an IPO.

Attaining your Comprehensive Pilates Teacher Training is the perfect start on a successful journey as a Pilates teacher. But it's just the beginning. Once you start practicing all you have learned, a thousand questions will pop up. We're here to answer them.
Our Apprentice program will help to translate all of the knowledge you've gained and help you understand how to apply it in real teaching scenarios.
We offer support and mentoring during this next critical phase as you log the teaching, practice and observation hours that are required by your chosen comprehensive training program. This program was developed in response to our students who wanted (and needed) continued guidance and support.
Reading the manual and practicing the exercises is one thing, but the chance to observe master trainers in the trenches is invaluable. And the added opportunity for Q & A so that you can go from the 'what' to the 'why' will improve your work by leaps and bounds.
The Fusion Apprentice Program will also help you enter the test out for your chosen comprehensive training with complete confidence and will prepare you for the PMA certification (if you are taking it).
Our master teacher trainers provide the time, knowledge, and depth of experience that is so needed for the student teacher. Come observe, ask questions, and immerse yourself in the challenging and rewarding career as a Pilates Instructor at Fusion Pilates.
Many of our students have expressed a need for continuing guidance and mentoring once their training has finished.
These packages are designed for those who are working toward the completion of the requirements of their chosen Pilates training program – but are also for anyone who would like to have more one on one time with a master instructor.
As you practice your work – a million questions will arise. This is a great way to have the resources to get those questions answered.
Please read about our two Apprentice Packages below – and contact us if you have any questions or need more information.
– Take 5 private sessions with one of our Master Instructors to concentrate on whatever you'd like.
– (Online option coming soon…) Come to Fusion Studio to log Observation Hours. You will be required to fill out a questionnaire about the session and will have the opportunity to find out why the instructor made the choices they made.
– A simulation of a test out so that you are fully prepared.
– Right now! The package expires 4 months from the day you register.
I'm from out of town, can I come for a few days at a time?
– Absolutely. Just keep in mind that both Master Instructor Privates and Observation Sessions sessions must be scheduled in advance.
Can I take Privates and Observe from any of your master instructors?
– Yes. We suggest you mix it up to get a better understanding of different styles.
How do I schedule my Private or Observation Sessions?
– Once you've registered, just call or email the studio and we will get you set up.
– Right now! The package expires 3 months from the day you register.
– Absolutely. Just keep in mind that Observation Sessions sessions must be scheduled in advance.

It's July 4th in the US; the day we celebrate our declaration of independence from England in 1776. When it comes to perfume American perfumery didn't have to declare independence; but it surely had to distinguish itself from the French, English, and Italian brands which founded modern perfumery. I thought I'd spend this Independence Day celebrating three of the foundational brands of American perfumery with one each for the colors of the US flag.
Born in Canada but emigrated to the US after dropping out of nursing school. When she got to New York City the young Florence Nightingale Graham created her brand name Elizabeth Arden. She would found her beauty salon called Red Door which had one you entered through. As she expanded her beauty empire through the first half of the 20th century that symbol became synonymous with a sophisticated style of beauty.
Ms. Arden made a moderate attempt at adding fragrance to the brand prior to her death in 1966 but they never caught on. It would be in 1989, under the Revlon acquisition of the name, that Elizabeth Arden would make its mark on perfume with Blue Grass and Red Door.
Perfumer Carlos Benaim created an opulent floral bouquet with a little bit of everything. What made it interesting was the use of honey to coat those florals before finishing on a chypre-ish base. This is a product of its time with a blowsy over-the-top style. In truth, it's also American in its desire to stuff everything in.
When it comes to American Perfumery it is really all about Estee Lauder. Her introduction of Youth Dew in 1953 would begin the change of American men buying perfume for women to women buying for themselves. Ms. Lauder presided over one of the great fragrance brands. Estee Lauder has become one of the largest sellers of perfume in the world. It could arguably be said that it was the success of the Estee Lauder brand from 1969 until 1978 that set the standard for what was to come. White Linen was the perfume which finished that early run.
White Linen was brilliantly imagined as the smell of fresh-laundered sheets drying on a clothesline on a sun-filled day. Perfumer Sophia Grojsman would harness all of the fresh notes in the perfumer's array at the time. It would begin the trend of fresh and clean perfumes popularity which still exists forty years later making it a perennial bestseller. All for the memory of a summer day on the grass watching the sheets be hung under the sun; perfectly American.
Ralph Lauren has been one of the leading American fashion designers since he started selling his ties in 1967. One year later he would introduce his first menswear line with the iconic logo of a polo player at full gallop. In 1978 he would put that logo on a green bottle of men's perfume called Polo. That has become one of the greatest selling men's fragrances of all time. Which of course led to numerus flankers. The one released in 2002 was called Polo Blue.
Polo Blue was composed by original Polo perfumer Carlos Benaim working with perfumer Christophe Laudamiel. By the time Polo Blue was released the aquatic craze was in full swing and this was the Polo version of it.
What makes Polo Blue stand out is there is a lot of the herbal quality of the original added to the fresh aquatic accords. It made it less generic even though it seemed like a hybrid of two different men's styles. It is a surprise to me how well it works. Then again Mr. Lauren has always been happy to give American men what they want.

Online Courses for Stress Reduction? While mindfulness training in a 1-on-1 setting has been shown to be beneficial for reducing perceived stress, anxiety, and depression, researchers at the University of Oxford wondered if such training delivered via the internet would be as effective. A group of 273 participants completed an online mindfulness course that consisted of
10 sessions over an average time span of four weeks. Following the course, outcome assessments showed reductions in perceived
stress, anxiety, and depression similar to those reported by participants who experienced in-person trainings.

Amazing! Scientists from the École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne in Switzerland and the Sant'Anna School of Advanced Studies in Italy have announced the first known instance of an amputee "feeling" the world via a state-of-the-art sensory-enhanced artificial hand. Sensations felt by the "hand" are converted into electrical impulses that communicate with the patient via wires that were surgically connected to nerves in his arm.

The Mediterranean Diet and Firefighters. The Mediterranean diet is rich in fish, nuts, vegetables, and fruits and previous studies have linked it to a decreased risk for cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer's disease, and diabetes. However, these studies tend to
focus on an older population, patients with existing health problems, and people who live in Mediterranean countries. In this study, the participants were firefighters living in the Mid-Western United States. The firefighters who most adhered to the diet had a 35% decreased risk for metabolic syndrome and were 43% less likely to gain weight compared with those who least followed the diet.

Play Team Sports! Because of declining estrogen levels, menopausal women are at greater risk for stroke and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Researchers found that menopausal women who participated in team-based sports for just twelve weeks had significant reductions in their blood pressure and improvements in blood vessel function, putting them at a 40% lower risk for stroke and a 20% lower risk for heart disease. As an added benefit, the majority of the women enjoyed the activity and were likely
to continue participating after the study concluded.

Just Two Treatments. Nearly 200 adults with spinal pain were separated into two groups. One group received two chiropractic adjustments and the other received two sham adjustments so researchers could differentiate if results were the result of the
adjustment itself or the expectation of treatment. Two weeks later, researchers assessed each group and found the adjustment group
reported greater improvements in pain, better overall improvement, and higher satisfaction.

Folic Acid and Pregnancy. Despite decades of research recommending pregnant women take folic acid supplements in order to prevent spina bifida and other neural tube defects, only 31% of pregnant women in the United Kingdom (UK) do. Additionally, among women who had previously given birth to a baby with a neural tube defect, only 51% took a folic acid
supplement during subsequent pregnancies. In the United States, Australia, and 74 other countries, some grain-based foods are
fortified with folic acid in hopes of reducing the risk of these types of birth defects.

Throughout the history of Strictly, we've seen some song choices crop up more than once. Some dances have become iconic, and you wonder why a professional would chose to create another routine to the same number that has so much weight with us Strictly fans, and is likely to disappoint no matter how good the new routine is, but nevertheless, it happens more and more often, it seems.
This page is a list of all the songs that have been used for all the individual competitive dances, and does not include competitive groups dances, Christmas special dances or demonstration dances. From this you can see which songs have been used more than once in the competition.
Please note that for some of the traditional songs used for dances such as the paso doble and tango, it's not always easy to identify the song if I don't have access to the songlist from the BBC (this is mostly for the first two series), so some of these may not be correct.

Old Flowers is the seventh studio album by American singer-songwriter Courtney Marie Andrews. It was released on July 24, 2020 via Fat Possum Records.

For the album, Andrews received a nomination for Best Americana Album at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards, but lost to Sarah Jarosz's World on the Ground.

Critical reception

Old Flowers was met with generally favorable reviews from critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a weighted average rating out of 100 to reviews from mainstream publications, this release received an average score of 81, based on 15 reviews. The aggregator AnyDecentMusic? has the critical consensus of the album at a 7.3 out of 10, based on 17 reviews. The aggregator Album of the Year assessed the critical consensus as 76 out of 100, based on 20 reviews.

Dylan Barnabe of Exclaim! praised the album saying, "It is emotional, redemptive and leaves an indelible mark on the listener. Andrews provides a raw, honest and unflinching look in the mirror of a failed relationship and finds herself; it's a story as old as time, but somehow told more achingly beautiful here". Mark Moody of Under The Radar stated, "Andrews' vocals may not have the hard-bitten vernacular of Iris Dement, but in their purity of tone share the same deep level of pathos". AllMusic's Stephen Thomas Erlewine wrote "In some respects, Old Flowers could be called a shade too successful, since it casts a specific understated spell, but listened to in the right mood or hour of the day, it's a bewitching affair". Writing for NME, Leonie Cooper said "Musing on the break-up of a nine-year-long romantic relationship, simplicity is key to "Old Flowers" innate grace". Hal Horowitz of American Songwriter stated, "Old Flowers conclusively proves that Courtney Marie Andrews has reached a difficult to attain level, showing once again that the timeworn trope of "breaking up is hard to do" can be dreadfully unsettling personally but also creatively rewarding". Annie Black of Consequence of Sound said, "She is mourning and healing all at once here, and while at times it can feel a bit tedious, overall she's delivered one solid collection of songs". Dillon Eastoe of The Line of Best Fit said, "Continuing to imbibe her music with a remarkable pathos that has these new songs greeting the listener like familiar friends by the second spin, Courtney Marie Andrews keeps growing and Old Flowers is the fruit of this blossom".

In a mixed review, Steven Johnson of musicOMH wrote, "Heartache has inspired countless songs and albums over the years and if nothing else Old Flowers shows how humans will continue to turn to music for comfort in times of sadness for many years to come. These songs have clearly provided solace to Andrews and it's likely they'll do the same for others in similar need". The Arts Desks Liz Thomson stated, "The textures are imaginative, occasional dissonances and sounds you can't immediately identify making the album all the more compelling". PopMatters critic Kevin Kearney said, "When Andrews focuses on her own story, she's an immensely compelling songwriter. It's when she speaks in a general sense about heartache that her powers are weakened".

Beginning of Hinduism?
Question: Beginning of Hinduism?
Did the Hare Krishna movement originate in India? Is the movement of Indian origin?
Is Hinduism the oldest religion? Did it begin in India?
Answer: There is No Such Thing
Although historically rooted in India, the Hare Krishna movement did not originate in India. It originates in the spiritual world and was first manifested in this universe 155 trillion years ago when Lord Krishna enlightened Lord Brahma with Krishna consciousness just after the creation of this universe.
The word "Hindu" is not found in Vedic scriptures, the foundation of Indian culture. It was coined by the Muslims to describe those persons living east of the River Sindhu, which is now known as the Indus River. Therefore, strictly speaking the term "Hinduism" is a misnomer. Vedic scholars know that the actual term for India's ancient religious culture is "sanatana dharma", the eternal religion of the soul.
Sanatana dharma is indeed the world's oldest religion because it has no beginning point in history. It means to fully absorb yourself in loving service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead Lord Sri Krishna or Vishnu. There is no such thing as the beginning of sanatana dharma or "Hinduism" because, like the Hare Krishna movement, it has no beginning point in history having originated in the spiritual world.

Travelinsure.ca was created to service the growing need for new immigrants to Canada who wanted to bring their parents and grand parents to Canada for a period of up to 2 years to stay with them and watch their grand children blossom and grow in their newly adopted country.
They can do this through a newly created program called Super Visa, which is a 10-year visa which allows parents and grand parents to visit Canada for up to 2 full years at a time.
Part of the requirement is that a $100,000 travel and health insurance policy must be purchased on their behalf so that in case of illness or accident, the visiting relative will not be a burden to the Canadian taxpayer.
Travelinsure.ca is the leading company that deals with helping immigrant families obtain Super Visa Insurance at the very best rates, since it is directly connected to all the major insurance suppliers.
the immigrant community members choose the very best insurance package to make sure parents and grand parents are completely covered for such things as travel, accidents, health care and pre-existing conditions at the most economical price. Not all insurance companies offer the same coverage or the same price for the same coverage. Their goal is to get their clients the most comprehensive coverage with the right insurance supplier for the most reasonable cost.
That way the family knows that during the parent's or grand parent's stay in Canada, they can enjoy peace of mind knowing that as far as insurance goes, travelinsure.ca has them fully covered!
If you or someone you know in Canada needs insurance help, please refer them to travelinsure.ca where a calculator will give them the price of insurance to be confirmed by a phone call to the local office. Plus they can either phone or chat with a live person.

First, I highly recommend using two days for this climb. A camp at Lost Lake makes a lot sense. Remember to bring mosquito repellent. Also, don't waste your time with this adventure unless you have a stellar weather forecast. No need to caught in a T-storm along a two-mile ridge traverse in the middle of nowhere.
This ridge traverse was one of the highlights of the summer of 2005. I don't ever recall being so far to each end of the spectrum when it came to enjoying a route. The hike to Lost Lake is very nice, and the camping is good too. However, the bushwhacking and the boulder hopping almost made me cry. Next, the 2 miles of ridge scrambling on pretty darn good rock with perfect views was a pure adrenaline rush. In retrospect, the bushwhacking and boulder fields were important experiences to the overall greatness of the climb, in sort of a masochist sort of way. There's nothing like a good Gore bushwhack to get the blood flowing, for the mosquitos, of course!
12 miles & 5,000-ft
From the parking area at 9,020-ft, hike southwest via the Brush Creek Trail 0.6 mile to a signed trail junction with the Gore Range Trail (39°47.854' N, 106°14.158' W.) Turn left, or south and follow the well-worn Gore Range Trail 1 mile and look sharp for the Lost Lake Trail on the right, it is signed (39°47.275' N, 106°13.861' W.) Ascend the Lost Lake Trail for 1.5 miles to a spot where the trail will cross Bush Creek (39°46.790' N, 106°15.244' W.) This section of trail is located in a flat, marshy area and it's easy to lose due to the abundant plant life. Locate the creek first and then try to find a slight path through the wet, muddy area to cross the creek. Once across, locating the trail again is easy. Hike another .15 mile to Lost Lake at 10,143-ft. There is excellent camping where the trail finally meets the lake.
The lake rests below the boulder-ridden slopes of Peak O and it is almost completely encompassed by dense tree cover. It is a quite place, where you will most likely have the lake to yourself. From here, you cannot see Guyselman Mountain, but you can see the east ridge of Peak N and the east ridge of Guyselman. Locating the correct landmarks from Lost Lake is key; it won't be long before you begin a tough bushwhack where landmarks are tough to locate. At this point, a GPS becomes very helpful.
After locating the east ridges of Guyselman and Peak N, locate the drainage that splits the two ridges. That's where you want to go and be prepared for a boulder-hopping escapade that will slow your progress.
From Lost Lake, begin your happy, Gore style bushwhack by hiking south along the lakes east shoreline. Soon, leave the shoreline and bushwhack south 1.2 miles to a treed slope just under Peak O's east ridge (39°46.004' N, 106°15.652' W.) From the words of a famous Colorado guidebook author "the introduction is over." Traverse the boulder field between Peak O's east ridge and Peak N's east ridge for 0.3 mile to the base of Peak N's east ridge (39°45.643' N, 106°15.682' W.) From here, make your way around Peak N's impressive east ridge and begin a laborious climb up more car-sized boulders up into the basin under Guyselman's great northeast face.
Guyselman's northeast face will remind you that you are in the presence of sheer beauty: a massive wall of granite, which rarely gets viewed. I had thoughts of McHenry's Peak from upper Spearhead Basin in Glacier Gorge.
Locate the weakness in Guyselman's east ridge (39°45.159' N, 106°16.115' W,) a north-facing slope that requires easy class 2 hiking for about 400-ft to the crest. From here, the view of Peak N will make you weep. Once on the crest, ascend the ridge to the summit of Guyselman Mountain. From here, the view of Gore Thumb and Peak L will make you weep again. Guyselman's summit view may be top 2 or 3 in the Gore Range.
The next objective is Peak N. Going forward, the route finding on the traverse may vary from my perspective, so be prepared for slight variations. From the summit, locate a steep, southwest-facing gully (39°45.095' N, 106°16.578' W.) Use this gully to skirt the huge drop-off from the summit to the east ridge. Descend it (class3 & 4) a 100+ft and cross over a rock rib to the north and make your way to a huge notch/col on the east ridge. From here, you will see a huge, soaring rock pinnacle and you can peer all the way down the northeast face of Guyselman. This is a cold and memorable place to be.
Locate a crux ramp that traverses the east side of the soaring rock pinnacle. Hike around the pinnacle and continue a class 3 ridge to the saddle between Guyselman and Peak N. Continue an ascent up Peak N's south ridge to the summit (13,321-ft.)
The next objective is Peak O. First, overcome a daunting view of the ridge between the two peaks and begin a steep class 3 and 4 descent from the summit of Peak N. There are two enormous gendarmes that block the passage to Peak O. Locate and descend a series of class 3 and 4 crux ramps that will deposit you at the base of the first gendarme. Traverse the west side of the gendarme, staying as high as you can until you reach the second gendarme. Again, traverse the west side of the second gendarme via more class 3 and 4 scrambling. The sweeping south face of Peak O will be visible as you traverse the gendarme. Next, ascend the south ridge of Peak O to the summit and take a nap.
Begin your descent to Lost Lake by previewing your route choices. There are two possible routes. You can stay directly on the crest of Peak O's north ridge and ride it down to Lost Lake. Be prepared for the longest boulder hopping experience of your life. Or you can descend the ridge crest to about 12,240-ft (39°46.133' N, 106°16.293' W) and continue a descent down the east slopes back to your original approach line (39°46.359' N, 106°15.564' W) through the trees. We chose this route mainly to get away from the continuous knee-busting slope down to Lost Lake. From Lost Lake, it's hard to forget what that slope looks like and we didn't want any part of it.
Descend your steep line of choice down into the trees and make your way back to Lost Lake. Continue 3.2 miles back to the Brush Creek TH.

OC Register: Construction begins on $60 million Wild Rivers water park in Irvine
Camryn Pak for the OC Register
Construction on Wild Rivers has begun, bringing Irvine's new water park one step closer to being complete. It could even be ready by next May – just in time for locals to beat the summer heat.
At a groundbreaking ceremony Wednesday, July 7, at the Orange County Great Park site, about 30 people gathered to watch developer Mike Riedel and city officials dig dirt from the spot that will become the park's wave pool.
There are 20 attractions planned for the park's opening day, with a possible three-acre expansion and additional rides already in the works, officials said. Riedel added that though nostalgic visitors can enjoy replicas of old favorites like Bombay Blasters and Switzer Falls, most attractions will be new.
"It's gonna be better and bigger. A lot of the stuff we're gonna have at the new park didn't even exist when Wild Rivers first opened," Riedel said.
The $60 million water park will welcome visitors from mid-May through mid-September every year.
Spending hot summer days at Wild Rivers used to be a tradition for many locals; they made memories at its wave pool and water slides for 25 years. But it had to close when its landlord, the Irvine Co., moved ahead with plans for new apartments on the property.
Now, a decade after the park's closure, Irvine Councilman Anthony Kuo is especially excited to bring Wild Rivers back. Kuo was raised in Irvine and grew up visiting the park starting when he was six or seven years old.
"It was a fantastic experience to go down the smaller slides and then gain the courage to go on bigger rides like the Edge and the Ledge," said Kuo, adding that his first visit to the park was one of the best days of his life.
The revitalized Wild Rivers will be located at the corner of Great Park Boulevard and Skyhawk, just south of the Great Park's baseball fields.

Windows 8 has undergone a major redesign, so how will this new style compare to what we're used to with Windows 7. View the Windows 8 Release Preview video below.
hard-working PC because you can have it both ways. Prefer a mouse and keyboard? Great. Prefer touch? Enjoy the convenience.
The Start Screen – includes a simple menu which provides easy access to some system tools: Control Panel, Task Manager etc and if you press Win+F, or just start typing a search term, then you'll launch the Windows 8 search tool. The traditional Windows 7 start menu provided easy access to every aspect of your system -installed programs, recent documents and more. There simply isn't room to display all this on the new Metro style display.
Task management – If you want to launch a regular Windows program you click the Start Screen "Desktop" tile which will launch something which looks similar to the current Windows 7 desktop, but you won't see buttons for any Start Screen apps you have running. Press the Windows key to switch back to the Start screen and everything changes. You can launch multiple apps, but there's no taskbar to switch between the two. Pressing Alt+Tab displays all your programs on a single screen, whether desktop or Start Screen-based, and allows you to switch to the one you need.
Cloud Connected – Your Microsoft account is like a portable, personal PC that appears on any Windows 8 device you're using. Sign in to your Windows 8 device with your Microsoft account and you're immediately connected to your contacts, files, and settings.
Windows 8 Apps – Apps are the heart of Windows 8. You'll be able to get up to speed quickly with a set of built-in apps for the things you do the most, plus In the Windows Store, you can search for or browse thousands of apps, all grouped in easy to-find categories.
On Tuesday Samsung gave the first glimpse of their new Windows 8 machines, due to launch at the end of October. The Samsung Series 5 and Series 7 all-in-one Windows 8 PCs may start from as little as £500 and all models are rumored to come with high-definition touch displays.
