Yes, we can help you form an LLC in Indiana!
Whether you're a Colts fan, Irish fan, or just want to watch NASCAR, Indianans can form LLCs to protect their personal assets from claims against their business.
Indiana LLCs must include "limited liability company," "LLC," or L.L.C." in their name. The name must also be distinguishable from all other business entities formed in Indiana or qualified to do business in Indiana.
Any person can file articles of organization for an Indiana LLC. These articles must include: the name of the LLC, the name and address of the LLC's registered agent, the date when the LLC will dissolve (or if it will exist perpetually), and if the LLC will have managers. In addition, the organizer can add any other provisions that the LLC would like, although this will be public record.
Once the articles of organization are drafted, they are filed with the Corporations Division of the Secretary of State's office, along with a $90 filing fee ($75 if filed online).
Indiana LLCs can adopt an operating agreement with the consent of all members to govern its internal affairs. This agreement doesn't need to be written, and will not be filed with any government agency. Our recommendations for operating agreements are that they are written and executed by all members.
EIN: If you're going to hire employees for your LLC, or if you have multiple members, you need to request an EIN from the I.R.S. You can do this yourself, or a service like Incnow can obtain one for you.
Biennial Report: Every two years, an Indiana LLC must file a biennial report with the Secretary of State. This report must include the LLC name, the name and address of its registered agent, and the address of its principal office, and a $30 filing fee ($20 online).
WHY FORM AN LLC IN INDIANA?
The Indiana LLC Act gives LLC members contractual freedom to customize their capital contributions and their shares of profits and losses. An LLC's members can specify a method for allocating profits and losses in an LLC Agreement that is greater or lesser than their portion of capital contributions. This gives members contractual flexibility to tailor their income and risks of loss to further their big-picture asset management plans.
The Indiana LLC Act does not require LLC members to be listed with the Department of State. A "person" may organize an LLC, and the person does not need to be a member of the LLC. The definition of "person" includes almost any kind of business or legal entity. An LLC's members may therefore have an entity or person who is not a member file the LLC's articles of organization with the Indiana Secretary of State.
The Indiana LLC Act provides for an LLC's unlimited life. An operating agreement may specify that an LLC has a perpetual duration. An LLC's existence can therefore outlive its members' lifetimes.
The Indiana LLC Act gives members contractual freedom to customize the duties each party to the LLC agreement owes to the other parties. The Act provides that "[u]nless otherwise provided in a written operating agreement, a member or manager is not liable for damages to the limited liability company or to the members of the limited liability company for any action taken or failure to act on behalf of the limited liability company, unless the act or omission constitutes willful misconduct or recklessness." Furthermore, the Act provides that a written LLC agreement may "[e]liminate or limit the personal liability of a member or manager for monetary damages for breach of a duty." This gives LLC members the most latitude possible to determine whether, and to what extent, each party to the LLC agreement will have duties to the other parties.
The Act also allows members to customize the duties each party to LLC agreement owes to the other parties in transactions between the LLC and members and managers. For example, the Act provides that "[e]xcept when prohibited in a written operating agreement, a member or manager may lend money to and transact other business with the limited liability company and, subject to other applicable law, has the same rights and obligations with respect to the transaction as a person who is not a member or manager." This gives parties to the LLC agreement the ability to take advantage of mutually beneficial opportunities.
The Indiana LLC Act protects membership interests from members' creditors. An LLC agreement may specify the "rights of members to assign all or a portion of their interests in the limited liability company." This means it may provide that a membership interest may not be assigned. In addition, an LLC agreement may specify the "circumstances in which an assignee of a member's interest may be admitted as a member of the limited liability company." This means it may provide that an assignee may not become a member.
Even if a membership interest is assigned, the assignee may not participate in the management of the LLC or become a member unless otherwise provided in the operating agreement and upon the unanimous approval of all the non-assigning members, unless the LLC is a single-member LLC. In addition, if a judgment creditor gets a charging order against a member's membership interest, the judgment creditor has only the rights of an assignee. This enables members to protect their control of an LLC.
An Indiana LLC must list an Indiana registered agent for service of process. An Indiana LLC cannot act as its own agent for service of process, even if it has an Indiana address. A commercial registered agent service may act as an Indiana registered agent and office.
The Indiana LLC Act requires LLCs to file biennial reports. The fee for filing the report is $20 online, or $30 if filing on paper. This fee is required whether an LLC is domestic (Indiana) or foreign (out of state).
Because of the advantages of forming an LLC in Indiana, over 20,000 new LLCs are formed in the state each year. Should you wish to have more flexibility and protection, you may instead form a Delaware LLC even if you operate in Indiana. What are the advantages of a Delaware LLC? (Delaware LLC Advantages). We can then help you file an application for registration to do business in Indiana with your Delaware LLC (Form Delaware LLC).
Indiana vs. Delaware LLC's: Which State Is Better?


Chicago Rib Shack, the iconic BBQ restaurant brand, has just opened its latest outlet in Clapham. This is the first venture as part of its new neighbourhood format which will see three or four new openings within the next twelve months. With a fabulous, vibrant new interior created by 44th railway arch location just of the high street, the concept retains all of the ingredients that made its existing food court and pop-up stores a success. This winning formula has been adapted to create a blended restaurant and bar set-up, offering full-service with an expanded menu.
Now this is what we're talking about!!! Meat meat meat meat.. and cheesecake! Chicago Rib Shack, Clapham's front-runner in the American Style BBQ cuisine battle, is a Mecca for meat-lovers. Ribs (beef, back and belly... boom!!), Burgers, chicken wings, mac & cheese, manslaw (like coleslaw but... MAN!), pulled pork sandwiches, poy-boy sandwiches.... I mean.. I'm told there are even vegetarian dishes (i was far too busy nursing my meat-coma to notice). Chicago Rib Shack is just a meat-lover's Shangri-La. Open from breakfast until late throughout the week (including brunch) Chicago Rib Shack is virtually always there when you need to take on some serious grub. FYI - Picture 7 on this venue page was Team TTF's outing to Chicago Rib Shack - all that meat!!


The accuracy of a coin is completely dependent on how well the reliefs or molds are created.
Clearly official mints are under a lot of pressure to create measured and traceable mints.
Here's how to they turn a coin relief into digital data.
Okay, that doesn't sound so hard, does it?
Plaster is translucent which causes the laser to partially penetrate the relief, causing beam spreading. This leads to a much higher level of noise than usual.
Plaster is delicate and can't be measured with touch sensors.
Due to the nature of the application, very high precision (2-3 μm) is necessary.
Depending on the coin design, there are often parts which have sharp angles that cannot be measured with standard triangulation sensors.
But I won't leave you hanging. There's a way to solve all these problems in one go.
Unique polarization scanning technique was created in order toimprove the signal to noise ratio when scanning translucent materials.
Optimet's sensors use laser technology and don't come into any contact with the object being measured.
Depending on the lens uses, ConoPoint-10 has sub-micron level precision.
Optimet's unique collinear technology allows measurement of sharp angles and deep holes without a problem.

Home > Information Hub > Frequently Asked Questions
PCC Staff
Can the PCC appoint new staff or remove existing staff in his/her office? Does the PCC have access to any other staff?
A: Yes, the PCC is at liberty to appoint new staff if he/or she wishes, The PCC is also able to remove existing staff within the constraints and terms imposed by existing employment contracts. The Act also enables the PCC to have access to the services of other force staff, with the agreement of the Chief Constable.
Will all the PCC's staff be politically restricted?
A: The Act states that all the PCC's staff will be politically restricted (except for the Deputy PCC, if someone is in that post).
The post of Chief Finance Officer is shared with Durham Constabulary. What arrangements are in place to ensure this works effectively?
A: In Durham the office of Chief Finance Officer is currently shared with Durham Constabulary. Because one person fulfils both roles, a protocol is in place, which is available at http://www.durham-pcc.gov.uk/Document-Library/Reports/Safeguards-Protocol-for-Joint-CFO-Role-FINAL.pdf
What sources of central funding do PCCs have, other than the main police grant?
A: The majority of central Government funding is in the form of un-ringfenced grants from the Home Office (Police Main Grant), the Department for Community and Local Government and the Welsh Government. This funding is paid on a monthly basis. PCCs also receive some funding from a Community Safety Fund (CSF). The CSF can be used to tackle drugs and crime, reduce re-offending, and improve community safety.
Can PCCs sell service/make money to raise additional funding?
A: The police are able to charge for the provision of 'special police services'. These services are governed by s25 of the Police Act 1996 (link below). http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1996/16/section/25. Special police services are those provided beyond the normal line of duty, for example deploying extra officers at a site to reduce the risk to public safety of an event. Where the event is seen as commercial, such as a Premier League football match, the event organiser is responsible for meeting the costs incurred by providing this service.
Security Vetting
Do PCCs need to be vetted, and if so when and what happens if vetting is refused? What about Deputy PCCs?
A: PCCs do not need to be vetted. The Prime Minister and Home Secretary have not been subject to either national or local police vetting processes: therefore Parliament has agreed that neither should PCC and their statutory deputies. However, to ensure that Chief Officers may have confidence on the disclosure of sensitive material to PCCs to enable PCCs to carry out their statutory functions, Parliament has determined that each PCC and their Deputy will be designated by the Home Secretary as Crown Servants for the purposes of the Official Secrets Act 1984. This means that incoming PCCs and Deputies will be required to sign a document that makes them aware of their obligations under the Act.

The New Wave: Nao - "Girlfriend"
The New Wave is a feature we'll be presenting every Tuesday. It will highlight one song we're currently obsessed with, by a new or rising artist.
London singer Nao has had our attention ever since her stunning 2014 collaboration with A.K. Paul, "So Good." Since then, her songs have grown in scope and ambition, and while she has already proven she can do sultry and seductive electronic pop, "Girlfriend" goes big, with a hook that truly soars. Nao's debut album For All We Know will be released July 28, and it's set to be one of the year's most exciting pop albums.
We've gone for it this time. I had a really wonderful writing session and this song just came out of nowhere and I felt like it was different from anything I had done before. Hopefully people will like it and sing along to it with me as well.

Will Pope Shares Latest Single, "Rehash"
While it expands from within the boundaries of folk and pop, Will Pope's music adds in a mix of subtle jazz and a passionate, visceral sensibility of classic roots music. His technicality is matched with soaring vocals and intricate harmonies stemming from a love of soul.
Following on from his debut release "Stormy Seas," which received acclaim from the likes of Mahogany and Alex Rainbird, Will Pope's second single 'Rehash' is out on November 18th. Having embarked on a UK tour in 2022 culminating in a show at the prestigious St Pancras Old Church in support of Alex Francis.
His debut release, Burying Giants, is the culmination of years of hard work, shaped by the Beijing music scene, and artists and musicians Pope has collaborated with along the way. The songs tell stories of grief, loss and hope in a changing landscape—shaped partly by his experience of living in China's capital, but also through the isolation that comes with a solo artist working on a debut release.
From the depths of Burying Giants, single "Rehash" comes from Will's experiences living abroad in Beijing just before the pandemic hit. It touches on how our memories shape us. The experience of the song itself begins as a transcendent masterpiece of instrumentals before a sweep of acoustic guitar pours in. All you feel is the warmth from within that his artistry pours out as vocals continue to set the scope and increase the pacing of the story he unfolds.
Stay tuned for more updates about Will Pope, and stream the single below:

This page aims to help you remove Kotcatk.com Virus. Our removal instructions work for Chrome, Firefox and Internet Explorer, as well as every version of Windows.
If we are give an example of a software issue that is truly annoying and can happen to anyone's device, this is certainly getting an application such as Kotcatk.com Virus installed on your machine. Kotcatk.com Virus is a browser hijacker app (also referred to as a page redirect) and it is capable of irritating any user by showing too many advertisements while they are trying to surf the Internet, or redirect the search requests to random web pages that the hijacker is seeking to promote. The effects of the majority of the known browser hijackers could only be seen in browsers, even if we have installed the newest versions of the most famous ones like Firefox and Chrome. Such redirects could affect and change them all. Therefore, created an informative article full of important details, removal instructions and safety tips to help you cope with the Kotcatk.com Virus hijacker.
Hijacking browsers – is that a malicious activity?
In fact, browser hijackers are regarded as an actual malware category – they are technically not viruses. It is normal that their usual activities could be found quite bothering by most of the affected users, however, most of what a hijacker typically does doesn't directly cause any system or data harm on the user's machine.
The most common abilities of these browser redirects are to change your search requests and send you to unknown web locations or to display an overwhelming number of cyber ads as well as replace your favourite search engine or browser homepage with some new one. All of this is primarily done for the purposes of online marketing and promoting various products and sites. Page redirects exist because something somewhere needs to be promoted, popularized and successfully sold to the public. Therefore, web developers came up with the idea of creating a product that could be used for online advertising purposes. Normally, this promotion-oriented nature has nothing to do with anything malicious but may greatly annoy the affected users.
What about Kotcatk.com Virus- are there any specific features or possible dangers resulting from it?
What we could say in particular about Kotcatk.com Virus is that there has been no proof of any malicious effects regarding this page redirect. Of course, it possesses all the irritating typical features of all the other hijackers, however, it is not known to have caused anything harmful to users who've had it installed on their machines. Now, that we know what such a redirect may result in, we should discuss the possible sources of Kotcatk.com Virus, among which the program-bundling method seems to be the most common and effective one. These freeware program packages could be downloaded almost everywhere on the Internet and you pay nothing for them. Such bundles oftentimes contain some form of advertising software added to the main program. That is how the creators of these otherwise free bundles make some additional profits – the advertising software, once installed, generates income for its creator through its promoting activities. The developers of redirects like Kotcatk.com Virus get generously paid in return as the advertising campaigns they organize may lead to increased profits. Of course, Kotcatk.com Virus might come from other sources such as torrents, pop-ups, spam and different web pages, however, the so-called bundles are indeed the most commonly utilized distribution model one.
Symptoms Browser app changes such as ad production and unexpected redirection.
Distribution Method Mostly found as a component of free bundles, spam or torrents.
What if we want to use something from a given bundle but we don't want to be affected by Kotcatk.com Virus?
The only completely safe way of getting anything installed is by selecting the proper installation steps. Usually, you should be looking for the Custom, Advanced or Manual. What these installer features provide is a detailed installation process that you are able to control by precisely choosing what you want and what you do not want on your device. None other of the offered options like the Easy or the Quick ones give you that freedom. Stick with what has been proven to be safe and never choose other installation features to ensure that your system stays healthy and hijacker-free.
You are ready to carefully read and put into practice the removal instructions inside the Guide attached to this article. It has been tested and should be effective in your case.

If you do any sort of .NET development using a relational database then chances are pretty good that you'd use Entity Framework as your ORM (object-relational mapping) technology – and in particular Entity Framework Code First since that's the Entity Framework approach that Microsoft appears to favor going forward.
So what exactly is Entity Framework Code First?
The Entity Framework Code First approach allows us to write Plain Old CLR Objects (POCOs) for our data models and then persist them in a data store using the DbContext class. Model classes are much cleaner this way and they are developer-friendly – gone are the days of complex (and often buggy) XML .edmx files which were needed in the past with Entity Framework in order to describe and map the model layer to the physical data storage layer.
We can see here that certain attributes are used to describe some of the physical properties of the SQL table and its columns. Entity Framework Code First makes heavy use of conventions in order to determine what to expect at the physical data storage layer given a particular POCO class that describes the model.

Will Joyette Jopson Be The 1st Filipina to Conquer the North Pole?
Author: Sago Category: Go Events 10 Mar 19
Last year, cancer-survivor Louie Sangalang conquered the 2018 North Pole Marathon as supported by FWD Life Philippines, one of the country's fastest-growing insurer.
This 2019, FWD Life continues the tradition as they recently announced the title sponsorship of the "FWD North Pole Marathon" to be held this coming April 9, 2019 – for the third time. But what makes this more exciting is the goal of having our 1st Filipina to conquer the North Pole; and the name to remember is Joyette Jopson!
Ms. Joyette Jopson, FWD Philippines Representative, FWD Team Asia
Fearless Filipina amongst FWD Team Asia
Playfully known as the 'World's Coolest Marathon' to be set at the extreme 89° latitude North, the FWD North Pole Marathon is expectedly no easy task.
So in the FWD Philippines media launch event held last March 5, the "Fearless in the Arctic" campaign was unveiled while FWD introduced its representative runner – Ms. Joyette Jopson!
The 39-year-old Jopson is a triathlete, 2014 Ironman 70.3 Philippines Filipino Elite Champion, and FWD Financial Wealth Officer. She will be joined by FWD representative runners from Hong Kong, Japan, Vietnam, and Thailand, collectively called FWD Team Asia, as well as runners from around the world, in what is dubbed as one of the world's most challenging and grueling sporting events.
Mr. Peter Grimes, President & CEO, FWD Life Philippines
Moreover, she will be supported by this years FWD Life Philippines North Pole Marathon Squad consisting of Mr. Romi Garduce, Margielyn Didal, Carmela Pearson (and of course, the whole FWD Philippines crew)! They will train and support Joyette in her journey!
"FWD is extremely proud to continue our support for this challenging and one-of-a-kind event, as it resonates our core values of empowering people to pursue their passions and explore a lifetime of limitless possibilities," said FWD Life Philippines President and Chief Executive Officer Peter Grimes said.
Conquering the World's Coolest—and Toughest—Marathon
The FWD North Pole Marathon participants will be running on an ice sheet of 6 to 12 feet thick and above 12,000 feet of Arctic Ocean, literally on top of the world. They will be running a 42-kilometer path with an average temperature of negative 30 degrees centigrade, even going as low as negative 40 degrees centigrade at times.
"We chose Joyette as the Philippines' representative to the FWD North Pole Marathon this year because of her indomitable spirit, something that will help her conquer the North Pole. As the first Filipina who is set to conquer the marathon, she will proudly bring both FWD and Filipino Pride to the world stage," Grimes added. "Joyette has broken her own barriers as a triathlete, competing with the most experienced athletes in the world, and this is why we believe she is perfect to be the country's representative this year."
Pinoy Pride: Let us all support Joyette Jopson for the FWD North Pole Marathon!

What makes the marathon unique is that it is run on a small 4.22-kilometer (2.62-mile) loop about 10 times, over hard snow or ice. The marathon is recognized by the Association of International Marathons & Distance Races (AIMS) and is the only certified marathon that is run entirely on the frozen water of the Arctic Ocean.
"As an FWD Financial Wealth Officer, I take to heart our mission to take care of our customers' financial future and change the way people feel about insurance," Joyette Jopson said. "I am truly grateful to have been chosen to represent FWD and the Philippines in the North Pole Marathon as this really will be a once-in-a-lifetime experience for me! Inspired by the FWD's Get Ready to Live brand spirit, I will bring with me relentless courage and determination against the world's harshest conditions as I aim to make my country proud."

Cheers from the FWD Life Philippines Crew!
The North Pole Marathon has also been recognized by Guinness World Records as the "Northernmost Marathon on Earth" and is generally considered one of the toughest marathons ever because the runners do not only contend with their own physical limitations, but also with the freezing temperature, the biting wind, and the snow-filled path.
"Joyette has rigorously trained in running, cycling, and swimming and has all the traits needed to succeed at the race," FWD Life Philippines Head of Marketing Roche Vandenberghe said.
Jopson has been joining local and international triathlon events for the last 13 years. She is a three-time Filipino Elite Champion and has won multiple championship triathlon titles including the Ironman 70.3 Phil, Challenge Philippines, and XTERRA Philippines.

In this paper, a new project scheduling problem is introduced, the periodically aggregated resource-constrained project scheduling problem (PARCPSP), in which the resource usage is considered on average over aggregated periods of parameterised length, while temporal aspects (start/completion dates of activities and precedence relations) are taken into account in an exact manner. A mixed integer linear programming formulation based on a mixed time representation is given. The adaptation of schedule generation schemes developed for standard project scheduling problems is discussed. An iterative solution scheme is described; experiments show that this method permits to find better upper bounds and sometimes enables to reduce the overall computational time.

Q: C++ operator overloading: implementing + with += Operator overloading
shows this is done in the following way
class X {
  X& operator+=(const X& rhs)
  {
    // actual addition of rhs to *this
    return *this;
  }
};
inline X operator+(X lhs, const X& rhs)
{
  lhs += rhs;
  return lhs;
}

I understand why the argument lhs needs to be taken by value, but why do we need to return it by value? I mean, what's the problem with the following:
inline X& operator+(X lhs, const X& rhs)
{
  lhs += rhs;
  return lhs;
}

Inside the function, lhs is a new X and modifying it does not affect any of the two operands. Since this is new, we can return it via reference, right?

A: The problem of returning a reference to a local object is that the caller will receive something that is already dead on arrival.
When you exit from a function all locals are destroyed, so you cannot keep using references to them.
Code like
const X& res = a+b;

would works if the operator returns by value because there is a specific rule in the language that says that temporary objects bound to references will be kept alive until the reference itself is destroyed.
Returning a reference instead is different because the lifetime of the object is a responsibility of the called operator, not of the caller. So the end result will be a reference that is bound to an object that has already been destroyed.
Even just
X res;
res = a+b;

would not work, because when the operator call returns the object is destroyed before the assignment is made to res. Same would be in case of a copy constructor X res = a+b;.

A: Never return ba reference if the value you are referencing will cease to exist after exiting the function.
In this case, lhs will exist until the function returns. If you return by reference, that reference will "point" to a value that is no more, and any attempt to use it will result in undefined behavior.
That's the reason for return by value. But no worries, many compilers can optimize the additional copy away, and it is in fact no copy but a move operation, so even if it's not optimized away, "heavy" object will be moved and not copied since C++11.

A: Not strictly answering the question, but to aid understanding about references ... be very cautious about returning a reference, except if you know the referent (object being referred to) is stable.
It is unsafe to do this
const std::string& doNothing(const std::string& x) {return x;}

You will become unstuck on the second call shown below
std::string baa = "sheep";
std::cout << doNothing(baa) << std::endl;    // works
std::cout << doNothing("goat") << std::endl; // UNSAFE

This is because the second call involves the implicit creation of a temporary object (of type std::string using constructor call string("goat"))
By contrast, it is safe to return a reference from name()
class Person
{
  private: std::string _name;
  public: const std::string& name() { return _name; }
  // other constructors and ways to set a _name
};

One can be reasonably assured that the class object (and therefore its internal _name) will stick around long enough for the reference to be useful to the caller.

A few summers ago, when i was a mohawk-clad teenager who listened to little music that wasn't Leftover Crack, i received a friend request on myspace from an acoustic folk musician who performed under the moniker 'Phantom Lights'. I was immediately engrossed by the honesty in his voice and the pop influenced melodies. Before too long, he dropped the name and began performing under his own name..Neil Sutherland. I, therefore, hold Mr.Sutherland somewhat accountable for every aching back i've enduring from sleeping on floors after house shows, every bruise i have received from makeshift slides and every show i have ruined by loudly singing along out of tune. I received this CD with great anticipation, knowing that i no real idea of what to expect from it, being first full-band 'Neil Suthland & friends' release.
After the electronically tinged 'Intro', the album kicks off properly with the fantastic 'Letters Home', which is a wonderful concoction of raw guitars, hand claps, emotional lyrics and passionate delivery. I really wish it was longer than one minute 21 seconds. Neil's trademark positivity is emininent here, making this more than an album, but a heartwarming journey through the mind of an extremely talented musician, with his band providing an exquisite soundtrack.
This album is packed with fantastic songs, if i had to choose, which i don't, but will anyway, my favourite songs are 'It's never too late to say stop' and 'Sunsets', with the former and epic song and probably the catchiest on the album, the latter a beautiful ode to young love.
It has been said before that i am a sucker for nice packaging, and, like everyone at Last Hours, i love anything hand made, and these CDs tick both those boxes. The packaging looks lovely, the songs are superb and Neil Sutherland is one of the nicest men on the planet. Buy this.

Value: Weighed and Measured
Carbon tax: Pain can bring opportunity if we're smart
AACI, FRICS | Vice President, The Regional Group of Companies Inc.
It's not going to be smooth sailing cutting our reliance on fossil fuels, but with change comes the incentive to try something new and better.
Opportunities exist within Canada's carbon tax policy for savvy commercial real estate owners and property managers, says Columnist John Clark.
I attended a tax conference last week that featured the federal Liberals' impending carbon tax on the agenda. The plan is to put a "price on pollution" by imposing a carbon tax of $10 per tonne across Canada, starting next year. This tax will rise each year to $50 a tonne by 2022. At the gas pump, that will mean an extra 11.63 cents per litre five years from now.
Some provinces are on board and already have carbon taxes of their own. Others are less enthusiastic. Back in May, Saskatchewan Premier Brad Wall likened the plan to "a ransom note" and vowed to take the federal government to court.
This grand Liberal plan, of course, stems from December 2015 when nearly 200 countries signed on for the Paris climate accord. This document contains carbon reduction targets so ambitious global emissions would have to be reduced to practically zero by 2070 to meet them.
And Canada is ready to lead the charge.
Hits to our economy . . .
But what if other nations are less eager to follow through?
The consequences of Canada's carbon tax were discussed at last week's tax conference. One key concern is the what happens if exporting powerhouses (and major polluters) like China and India don't fully engage with the Paris accord.
A few weeks ago, the Conference Board of Canada released a report that asserted the tax could trim some $3 billion from Canada's GDP in 2018 and pinch the value of the loonie as "higher energy prices ripple through the economy."
And that's just in the first year, with a $10-per-tonne tax. What will the impact be by 2022 when the full $50 tax is in effect?
And your pocketbook
When energy prices go up, so does everything else. This is a big country. Producing and shipping goods is costly to begin with. It isn't only the costs of heating and transportation fuels and electricity that will rise.
Anything that has to be shipped to a store will incur added costs. Don't expect your grocery bill to be unaffected.
What's the message here?
The science of climate change is viewed as solid evidence we humans are having an impact, mostly negative, on the climate. If we don't pay the cost of countering our impact, we will all lose.
A program I watched last winter showed that over geologic time, ocean levels have risen and fallen by a range of 600 feet and we currently are at the 400-foot level. Worst-case scenario would put sea levels 200 feet above where they are today, so this really is no small issue.
With the carbon tax coming, we need to plan now, from a short-term economic perspective, for higher costs to live, travel and operate a business starting next year.
The Conference Board did temper its warning with an expectation the economic impact will level out after a few years as we invest in more clean energy technologies. But that is going to take some big investments: The Conference Board forecasts between $1.5 trillion and $3.5 trillion over the next 30-some years.
That is a lot of investment, which will translate into a lot of new jobs.
Meanwhile, if countries like India and China (or the U.S., which generates a lot of noise at the moment) are slow to follow, Canada's export industries could be left at a competitive disadvantage. The federal government will need to take this into account.
Giving a boost to public transit
Last week's conference also spoke to the pain of this adjustment period for public transit, but I believe this is an example of where, with the right mindset, the pain can yield opportunity.
Transit, for the most part, runs on fossil fuels and with the increased cost of carbon, the cost of running municipal transit systems will increase. I always question why we charge as much as we do for public transit use if the goal is to encourage more users. The higher the cost, the lower the ridership.
Higher prices at the gas pump may encourage more people to opt for public transit, especially in a city like Ottawa, where this will coincide with the opening of our new light rail system. But this will only work if public transit fares remain the same while gasoline prices go up.
This runs contrary to the mindset typical of most City Halls, or at least their transit commission – if our operating costs go up, then of course we must pass that on to riders with fare hikes.
No, you don't.
When you think about it, the revenue for transit comes from two sources – riders and city budgets. The riders, with some exception, live in the city so the riders also are the taxpayers who fund the city. People who don't ride transit benefit from less-crowded roads, which is proven during a transit strike.
So the reality is we all benefit from transit.
Whether we pay for it out of our left pocket as transit fares, or our right pocket as property taxes, it all comes from the same wallet. Perhaps we should leave fares where they are as gasoline and diesel costs rise – that will encourage more people to leave the car at home.
As we already subsidize the cost of running these systems, whether we use them or not, surely the carbon tax should be seen as an opportunity to increase public transit's value proposition and shift to a more sustainable business model.
Time to invest in greener buildings
In the commercial real estate industry, building owners and managers will be faced with higher operating costs they may or may not be able to pass on to tenants depending on lease terms. But they too are faced with a fresh opportunity to change.
Instead of just seeing this as added costs to pass on, look instead at investing in more energy-efficient building operating systems and equipment, such as OLED lighting and energy-harvesting technologies.
The Conference Board's Mario Lefebvre made reference at the conference to the research his firm is doing on the type of building large companies take up when they relocate.
The impression from his presentation is large moves are mostly into new space rather than retrofitted second-generation buildings. If this is the case, there is a real opportunity for developers to go green in the buildings they construct for these corporate relocations.
Canada's carbon tax will leave us all scrambling to adjust over the next few years, but it also does create new opportunities to change for the better.

That Old Guy Driving that Car is Driving Me Crazy!
January 4, 2011 John Knox Comments 0 Comment
The Battle of the Bulge which began on December 16th, 1944 and continued well into January of 1945 in the Ardennes Forest was the final major German offensive during World War II. The Americans suffered over 70,000 casualties, and some 19,000 deaths during the bloody battle. The fighting of course took place in bitterly cold weather.
I recall telling an old WWII Vet several years ago that I had watched the movie: The Battle of the Bulge on television. His response: I was there, son…. Unfortunately the opportunities to visit with World War II veterans are becoming less and less all of the time. I cherish such privileges now like never before.
Thursday morning I will officiate at John Thomas' funeral service here in Granbury. John was born in 1923. When he was 18 years old, he hitch hiked to Ft. Worth to sign for the US Army Air Corps. His dream was to be a pilot. Quite naturally John was terribly disappointed when his eyesight kept his dream from becoming a reality. But there was a war on, so he was accepted to the Army Air Corps do maintenance work on the bombers being deployed to Europe prior to the invasion of Normandy on D-Day in June of 1944.
John was fortunate. His unit came under heavy artillery fire during the Battle of the Bulge. He braved the cold by wrapping his feet in newspaper. But he survived. His two buddies that accompanied him to Ft. Worth to enlist actually became pilots. But they were not as fortunate. They were both killed in action.
Officiating at funeral services for World War II veterans has been one of the real privileges of my career. They are a special group of people. One of these days I will no longer have that honor. All of them will be gone. The youngest veterans among that group will turn 86 this year.
I think it would serve all of us well to take a few extra moments to speak to the older gentlemen in the grocery store wearing caps that signify the ship they served on during World War II. Let's pause before we get impatient with them in traffic. Don't rush through the halls of the nursing home. Take a few moments to speak to the old guy who resides in a wheel chair and shakes uncontrollably.
Tomorrow I will prepare for John Thomas' funeral service. I already miss him. What a blessing it has been to rub shoulders with members of The Greatest Generation. Tommorrow I will think twice before getting bent out of shape with the old guy in the car in front me, who is about to drive me crazy with his slow driving!

Q: How can I enable all installed Gnome Shell Extensions? I need this, because sometimes the Gnome Shell "forgot" all my extensions configurations after a normal reboot/shutdown. And I'don't want reinstall entire system because this.
So I want a script or a command to enable then all during the my session startup (putting in gnome-session-properties) or even a fix for this problem.
I'm using Ubuntu Gnome 13.04 on Gnome Shell 3.8.3 (downgrade, now on v3.6.3.1)
Output of find ~/ \! -user $USER -print:
/home/mediacenter/.cache/dconf
find: `/home/mediacenter/.cache/dconf': Permission denied
/home/mediacenter/.gvfs
find: `/home/mediacenter/.gvfs': Permission denied

A: To activate/enable all extensions every time at startup:

*

*Create a folder for your own scripts:
mkdir ~/bin

*Create a script file: gnome-shell-enable-all-extensions.sh:
nano ~/bin/gnome-shell-enable-all-extensions.sh
With contents:
#!/bin/bash
sleep 2s # just in case
cd ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions
array=($(ls -l --time-style=long-iso | egrep '^d' | awk '{print $8}')) # get only the folder names from current path
ext_list=$(printf "'%s',"  "${array[@]}") # rebuild the string
ext_list=${ext_list%,} # Remove the final character of the variable
gsettings set org.gnome.shell enabled-extensions "[${ext_list}]"

*Setting up permissions for the script file:
chmod +x ~/bin/gnome-shell-enable-all-extensions.sh

*At last, puts the command in startup gnome-session-properties:
/home/YOUR-USERNAME/bin/gnome-shell-enable-all-extensions.sh

A: I know it's a bit late but I implemented a solution script in python if the one above don't satisfy you.

Hope that the problem will be fixed soon by the way.

"Trailer Park Boys" star Michael Smith is starting his weekend off on a positive note.
Smith, known for playing Bubbles on the mockumentary series, is off the hook in a domestic battery case against him, a spokesman for the Los Angeles City Attorney told TheWrap on Friday.
The case was dropped due to insufficient evidence, the city attorney spokesman said.
Police responding to a domestic battery call came to the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel around 1:15 a.m. on April 1, Officer Mike Lopez told the Los Angeles Times. They arrested Smith and booked him on suspicion of domestic battery, a misdemeanor.

Jered McCorkle: Comedy Provocateur
Interview by
Valerie Lopez
There's a phenomenon in psychology called the "Baader-Meinhof effect".
It's when you hear or see something and take notice, and then it seems that everywhere you go, and in everything you see, that thing appears to come up with an unusually high frequency; in fact, this is also commonly called "frequency illusion".
Given that this is not Psychology Today, I should note the actual reason I'm bringing this up is that this week's guest, Jered McCorkle, is a name that, once I learned of him some time ago, it began to feel like every person we spoke with, or show we saw, had some connection to him.
In this case, it's no illusion. McCorkle is--quite simply--an extremely active performer and creator in the Austin comedy scene. He's founded or co-founded multiple showcases and open mics, including Bubble & Squeak, Fierce Mild, and Double Barrel; co-hosted podcasts like Leading the Blind and Circling the Drain; and is a 3-time semi-finalist in Funniest Person in Austin. It's a roster not often matched in the local scene, and, as we'll see, there's method to the madness of this kind of productivity.
Asking McCorkle about the start of all things comedy in his life, he's quick to jump to early memories of his rural Georgia upbringing, and experiencing the comedy of the great George Carlin. A chance VHS (Google it, if need be) rental in McCorkle's early years (after some convincing of his father) of one of the sight-unseen comedian's specials grew rapidly into a love of Carlin's work that would shortly lead to seeing him on tour.
He describes this discovery thusly: "To me, [Carlin] was a guy who 'thought weird'...I didn't think 'this is how you be a comic'; I thought 'this is how you be a person'." While it may seem unconventional for a parent to support someone so young being exposed to comedy that can be quite edgy, I can say from my own experience with my daughter that McCorkle is spot-on. Cursing and rants be damned, it's the power of hearing unique points of view on life that can be just as important and transformative as the humor, for someone still growing into their own perspectives and ways of interfacing with the world. And few fit that bill better than George Carlin.
"To me, [Carlin] was a guy who 'thought weird'...I didn't think 'this is how you be a comic'; I thought 'this is how you be a person'." Jered McCorkle
Despite this early interest, comedy proper wouldn't dominate McCorkle's life until much later. At this time, he was still testing life directions using an extremely scientific method, saying: "I wanted to be whatever got me attention when I said it to adults." It was a method, at least. High school and college also took some circuitous paths for McCorkle, leaving him in a continued quandary about his long term goals, paired with the challenges of still being--for all intents and purposes--a closeted young gay man. He was at a loss, in need of changes and structure, skills to bring empowerment and order to his life where he needed it most.
Then came 9/11.
The idea of military service, brought to the forefront by the dark days following the attacks, offered much in the way of those skills that McCorkle had yet to master. Routine, direction, and discipline are potent components in the recipe of developing confidence and productivity. So McCorkle joined, along with many who turned their eyes to service in the aftermath, choosing to follow a 6 year plan that would lead to the Special Forces arm. As expected, the time served, served him well. "The military...did fix me; I would not be capable...of living a life on my own," he says, only half jokingly. This was also still the "don't ask, don't tell" era, so his sexuality remained a more secretive aspect of his persona.
The violence and very real risks in the field with urban war tactics ultimately led McCorkle to exit his term when he had the option. Back in civilian life, time had arrived for him to bring the suspense and tension of the unknown into a completely different setting: behind the mic. McCorkle's style was something he connected with quickly: sharp turns, and keeping the audience in heightened suspense. Shades of this came from other comics he'd come to admire, like Bill Hicks and Mitch Hedberg, masters of the turnabouts themselves.
None of this to say the early days were easy; knowing what you want and achieving it are two distant concepts. "I still think this is all magical," he recalls, as he started to foray into watching more open mics, and ended up taking the stage the first time, completely unprepared, to fill a slot when a show was coming up short.
It wasn't a perfect set; the first ones never are, but it had enough of the magic elements endemic to stand-up that McCorkle knew his life had changed irrevocably for the better. "It was like this tremendous weight just lifted off my shoulders," he remembers, and, walking back to his seat, decided "I'll be a comic 'til I'm dead." In a bit of foreshadowing, the joke that worked best for him that first night would go on to win the coveted Joke of the Night in Funniest Person in Austin contest years later.
"It was like this tremendous weight just lifted off my shoulders...[I decided] I'll be a comic 'til I'm dead." Jered McCorkle
Finding this new and lasting purpose, and finally able to live as the person he always suspected he was, and hoped to be, gave McCorkle a new zest for life. His fans will no doubt note that with this came a bit of a headstrong, swaggered, approach to social media and in his act. Learning the difference between being a comedian and a provocateur proved crucial, and supportive players in the Austin scene helped him realize the changes that would shape him into the comic that began building a growing appeal, and taking on challenges like competing in FPIA. Now, it wasn't as if a glittering and golden brick road appeared, leading directly to proficiency and stardom; there were more lessons to learn and talents to grow, and McCorkle shares universal--and personal--moments and concepts that will benefit other performers, aspiring or seasoned.
Speaking of roads, McCorkle let us in on the news that he may be embarking on his version of the Comedy Migration soon. Come August, New York may be his new home, as he plans to hone and polish his body of work, in the way that perhaps only the city that never sleeps can provide the required endless opportunities to perform, validate, and refine your content.
While McCorkle may be looking to the future, slowing his showcase work in Austin, he's not by any means idle. He recently started a new podcast, FANtom Zone, where he and friends opine on comics of a different kind: the illustrated and bound medium, where some of McCorkle's other childhood heroes, like Thor, spend their days. It's intended to appeal to neophytes in that genre as much as seasoned readers who know exactly when New Comic Day is.
Our time with McCorkle has been a while coming, and more than delivers; we've covered significant ground here and it's barely a taste of what he shares with Valerie in the interview. Listen to the episode for more on FPIA experiences and tips, how he reconciles mixing his sexuality into his material, stories of your favorite Austin comics (new and old), and more wisdom from a man who's logged many a mile in the Austin comedy community.
And whither McCorkle finally lands on terra firma, after however many more miles, we have no doubt he'll keep putting that hard-earned ethic and passion to good use.

There are currently 400+ registered Alumni in the Far West Division (FWD) of the National Ski Patrol. This is a wealth of experience, talent, knowledge and dedication. While the Alumni Program is certainly an excellent way to "retire" from active patrolling it also has the potential of a vast resource of needed skill and expertise to supplement the efforts of the "active" membership.
There is no doubt that your collective experience can substantially add to the current goals of your patrol, the FWD and National Ski Patrol. There are many reasons to go "inactive" beside "retirement": family responsibilities, health issues, a move to the south seas, new additions to the family, job responsibilities and so on.
A resource list of willing alumni that can be called upon from time to time to assist with specific projects and functions.
Alumni reunions, perhaps as part of the Divisional meetings.
Alumni participation in patrol training activities, as well as regional and divisional National Patroller Education Conference type events.

Q: Flex 4 - How to load XML file programmatically? I have done my EmployeeDetails application using HTTPService. But I want to load my XML file programmatically. I tried it using URLLoader and URLRequest. But no luck. I couldn't done it.
Sample code using HTTPService:
    <fx:Declarations>
    <s:XMLListCollection id="employeeXMLList" filterFunction="xmlListCollectionFilterFun"/>
    <s:HTTPService id="employeeService" url="http://localhost/demo/TextXmlFile.xml"

                   fault="employeeService_faultHandler(event)"
                   resultFormat="xml"/>
</fx:Declarations>
<fx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
        protected function employeeService_resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void

            var xmlList:XMLList = XML(event.result).Employee;
            employeeXMLList = new XMLListCollection(xmlList);
        }

        protected function employeeService_faultHandler(event:FaultEvent):void
        {
            spark.components.Alert.show(event.fault.faultString,"Fault Error Message");
        }
    ]]>

It's working well.
Now I change this as follows:

           creationComplete="load()">
   <fx:Script>
    <![CDATA[
            private var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://localhost/demo/TextXmlFile.xml");
        //request.contentType = "XML";
        //request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
        private var xmlData:XML;
        private var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

        private function loadXML(event:Event):void
        {
            xmlData = new XML(event.target.date);
        }

        private function load():void
        {
            loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadXML);
            loader.load(request);
        }

    ]]>
</fx:Script>

And I don't know what I am done here. Anyone can tell me the correct way to do this? And Please give me some explanation for that?

UPDATE
            private var urlRequest:URLRequest;
        urlRequest = new URLRequest("http://localhost/TextXmlFile.xml");
        urlRequest.contentType = "XML";
        urlRequest.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;

I am getting error like "Access of undefined property urlRequest."

A: It seems to be typo error.
private var request:URLRequest;
private var xmlData:XML;
private var loader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();

private function loadXML(event:Event):void
{
    xmlData = new XML(event.target.data);     //Note here data instead of date.
}

private function load():void
{
    request = new URLRequest("http://localhost/demo/TextXmlFile.xml");
    request.contentType = "XML";
    request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
    loader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loadXML);
    loader.load(request);
}

Reason :
You can only do declare and initialize/instantiate object out side of functions.
Normally compiler expect out side of function should be variable declaration(protected/public/private). So we can't assign value of those at out of function like
request.contentType = "XML";
request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;

This is exact place where function comes in. Sometime it is possible with static block if all neccessary function and variable should be static.

What does 'holodynamic system' mean?
Submitted by Stephen on Tue, 19/01/2016 - 3:02pm
The term holo-dynamic system is (in my opinion) a more descriptive understanding of "holomovement" — a term coined by the late physicist, David Bohm. Bohm used the term holomovement to more accurately describe the inherent holographic nature of reality.
With the theoretical and experimental proof of nonlocality, we now know (as Prof. Victor Mansfield explained) we exist within " a radically interconnected and interdependent" world, and universe. And that each particle, person and planet are interconnected, and interacting at-once, nonlocally. As physicist Nick Herbert explained, these immediate interactions are "present not only in rare and exotic circumstances, but underlie all the events of everyday life."
As Bohm correctly noted, the universe is NOT static like a holographic image. It is in motion, in constant state of flux and interacting — hence the appropriateness of the term 'holomovement'.
"Holodynamic system" goes further, with the 'dynamic' aspect implying it is also expansive and creative. This follows from recognising that the concept of the "infinite" is not a static 'thing' that can be described, or assigned a symbol and conveniently written on a piece of paper, or put in some equation. The infinite is a process, of always expanding beyond 'itself'. The infinite is dynamic. Putting all that together, a holodynamic system (in which everything, everyone and every dimension or state) is interacting, at-once, while also growing and expanding beyond 'itself'.
The holo aspect means that the process of the universe must also be the essential process of life — of learning and growing beyond oneself, of being dynamic, creative, evolving. And this process occurs (in respect of the holo aspect) all the way down, all the way up; all the way back (in time) and forward. In other words, as within the part, so within the whole, and vice versa.
Interestingly, all the major religious and spiritual traditions have (at least originally, historically) espoused a (rudimentary) understanding of the holodynamic nature of reality. However the following statements are all expressed in static terms — typically the source: God or Brahman etc1 is believed to be unchanging, perfect, absolute.2 This fundamentalism reflects how various religions and spiritual traditions have failed to capture the dynamic, interactive and creative nature of reality.
Hinduism "By understanding the Self, all this universe is known" (Upanishads);
Islam, "He who knows himself knows his lord," (Muhammad);
Confucianism, "Heaven, earth and human are of one body";
Zen Buddhism, "Look within, you are the Buddha";
Christianity, "The Kingdom of God is within you";
Jewish Kabbalah, "if one contemplates things in mystical meditation, everything is revealed as one."
That religions and spiritual traditions failed to grasp or espouse the creative nature is to be expected, given the historical nature of religious belief. As Rev. John Shelby Spong observed "Religion ... was for most of human history, always childlike and by definition authoritarian. It was, to be specific, a primary activity of the childhood of our humanity as a species." More explained in "The Evolution of the Human Psyche".
In our recent times (within the last 80 or so years) the science of quantum physics has been providing us a fuller understanding of our cosmos, and of ourselves. As Max Born, one of the founders of quantum theory explained, "I am now convinced that theoretical physics is actual philosophy".
This "actual philosophy" has led many leading physicists to echo world-views strikingly similar to ancient spiritual traditions, but with one additional, and highly important qualification: as physicist John Wheeler explained, we live within a participatory universe, in that it is newly forming (including our past, newly forming all the way back to the Big-Bang). We each contribute to the ongoing creation of not just the present and the future but the past as well. As we think, we create; as we grow, the universe, and God grows. As we learn, God learns, the universe expands.
1. in a holodynamic reality, all points, people and realms is source, at every point, with the centre of the universe everywhere. That is, the individual ego is as much the source as God, the whole, all.
2. Although it appears comforting to believe in 'perfection', ultimately it is stultifying, repressive and 'heavy'. See "Rest stops in the sky".

Michael Jackson, Inc.
The Rise, Fall, and Rebirth of a Billion-Dollar Empire
By Zack O'Malley Greenburg
The surprising rags-to-riches-to-rags-to-riches story of how Michael Jackson grew a billion-dollar business.
Michael Jackson is known by many as the greatest entertainer of all time, but he was also a revolutionary when it came to business. In addition to famously buying the Beatles' publishing catalogue, Jackson was one of the first pop stars to launch his own clothing line, record label, sneakers, and video games—creating a fundamental shift in the monetization of fame and paving the way for entertainer-entrepreneurs like Jay Z and Diddy. All told, Jackson earned more than $1.1 billion in his solo career, and the assets he built in life have earned more than $700 million in the five years since his death—more than any other solo music act over that time.
Michael Jackson, Inc. reveals the incredible rise, fall, and rise again of Michael Jackson's fortune—driven by the unmatched perfectionism of the King of Pop. Forbes senior editor Zack O'Malley Greenburg uncovers never-before-told stories from interviews with more than 100 people, including music industry veterans Berry Gordy, John Branca, and Walter Yetnikoff; artists 50 Cent, Sheryl Crow, and Jon Bon Jovi; and members of the Jackson family. Other insights come from court documents and Jackson's private notes, some of them previously unpublished. Through Greenburg's novelistic telling, a clear picture emerges of Jackson's early years, his rise to international superstardom, his decline—fueled by demons internal and external, as well as the dissolution of the team that helped him execute his best business moves—and, finally, his financial life after death.
Underlying Jackson's unique history is the complex but universal tale of the effects of wealth and fame on the human psyche. A valuable case study for generations of entertainers to come and for anyone interested in show business, Michael Jackson, Inc. tells the story of a man whose financial feats, once obscured by his late-life travails, have become an enduring legacy.
