Suicide Squad – Kicked in the Teeth | Comics
Master assassin Deadshot recalls how his hit on a senator in Gotham City gone wrong for the unexpected intervention of Batman which caused him to miss his shot for the first time in his career and him ended up in Belle Reve prison as a death row inmate. He was sent on a covert operation with fellow convict Harley Quinn, El Diablo, King Shark, Black Spider, Voltaic and Savant as team 'Task Force X' or better known as Suicide Squad on a rescue mission after being forcibly drafted to retrieve a rogue agent for their employer Amanda Waller.
Soon as they arrived to do the job, they realized that they are being set up and caught by an unknown group of captors. Without revealing their true identity, their newest captors brutally tortured them to break for information. All of the members either were drooling to the pain or lost in thoughts of their life before Suicide Squad until Savant decides to spill whatever he knew about. In return, he is killed almost instantly and the rest of the group is released informing that they passed the initiation test.
Now qualified for the ranks of the team, the squad members are sent to Mississippi to wipe out sixty thousand people inside the Megadome stadium after retrieving a package from a woman named Caley Burns. When the reaches to their destination they face an army of ravaging civilians infected by some virus as well as Caley herself and if the situation at hand can be taken care of, facing the bounty hunter called Mad Dog and a massive prison break at Belle Reve is what they have to deal with up next.

Suicide Squad Vol 01 – Kicked in the Teeth (Softcover)
Collecting the first seven issues of the fourth volume of Suicide Squad, which also is the first monthly ongoing series in The New 52 timeline, "Kicked in the Teeth" is the first story arc. The story takes the team in not one but three separate missions on their joining of the group, marking it to be the origin for the characters of the Squad.
The Runaway Quinn
As the story progressed, writer Adam Glass (Deadpool, Flashpoint – Legion of Doom) and artist Federico Dallocchio were the man forming the creative team with Ryan Benjamin serving as the cover artist. The story is quick paced and definitely not for kids but Glass deserves some credit for his part except for artist Dallocchio. The art he provides is way horrible compared to other graphic novels DC is publishing.

Suicide Squad – New 52 | Comics
The founder of Justice League of America as well as the Director of A.R.G.U.S. program; Amanda Waller is given the assignment to assemble a field team of super-powered individuals to use as expendable black ops operatives. She came to Belle Reve Penitentiary to recruit members for her Task Force X from current death row inmates and kidnapped 37 super criminals from there.
Among them only seven have survived from the immense tortures and training as part of the initiation program. The surviving members are Harley Quinn, Deadshot, El Diablo, King Shark, Black Spider, Voltaic and Savant. When thought of going on their first field mission they are tested again to ensure their loyalty and only one of them broke during this process.
All of the members of Suicide Squad are planted with micro-bomb implants to guarantee their obedience for the cause and Amanda Waller is in full-charge to command the team. With Deadshot as the primary leader of the band, the team is sent out for their first mission to get a package from the middle of a stadium filled with infectious crazed crowd.
One of them is killed to cover their tracks and two new members; Captain Boomerang and Yo-Yo join the group. They fights a secret terrorist organization called Basilisk and afterwards, Harley Quinn manages an escape, leaving a massive prison-break on her way. When the Crime Syndicate (during Forever Evil) took over Belle Reve, Waller assembles a New Squad to take control over the escalated situation.

In the wake of The New 52 wave following the "Flashpoint" crossover event, every major title, characters and teams of DC Universe has gone through a massive revamp. The anti-hero league created in 1986 by Robert Kanigher and Ross Andru known as Suicide Squad is no different from that. From 2011, not only the new series got a huge change in the roster but the storyline is also taken to a new heights.
Point of No Return
Artists Adam Glass (Flashpoint – Legion of Doom, Deadpool – Suicide Kings), Ales Kot and Matt Kindt took the duty of sinister plotting for the ongoing along with artist Federico Dallocchio, Cliff Richards, Clayton Henry (New X-Men – Hellions, X-Men – Apocalypse Vs. Dracula), Fernando Dagnino and Patrick Zircher (New Warriors, Thunderbolts).
Even a live-action Suicide Squad movie based on the series is also under development, starring Jared Leto, Margot Robbie, Will Smith, Jai Courtney, Viola Davis, Scott Eastwood, Karen Fukuhara and Cara Delevingne. Heavily resembling to the current incarnation of the team, the film is set to release in mid 2016 as a part of the DC Cinematic Universe.


The Alladin Theatre was built in the 1920s by the Mitchell family. The theater's main purpose was to show movies, but it also had a stage and orchestra pit for live performances. Gordan Farnsworth later purchased the theater and continued showing movies until the 1980s.
About 1989 the Farnsworth family donated the building to Parowan City for use as a community theater. Voluneteers renovated the theater, including reupholstering the seats, stripping and cleaning the wooden floors, and rebuilding the stage. In the last 1990s, the facade of the theater was restored, including a replica of the original marquee. The city later received a grant to the roof and expansion the back of the theater to include proper dressing rooms, storage, and restrooms.

Sporting Scene
Accident Scene
By Roger Angell
The Red Sox, who had fallen behind the Cardinals in the first inning and again in the seventh, could have lost the third game of the World Series in routine fashion, but managed to do it spectacularly and historically, on a play and a call, in the ninth inning, not previously matched in the game. The rest of the action can thus be folded into summary—feeble but also staunch work by the veteran Sox starter Jake Peavy, who gave up four hits and two runs in the first inning, and pitched out of something worse, then escaped a further pickle, in the fourth, when he loaded the bases with no outs but wiggled free. The Bosox, who never led, came back two times from two-run deficits to tie things up, and there were breathtaking infield plays along the way: by the Cards' second baseman, Matt Carpenter, and then his substitute, the rookie Kolten Wong; and once again by the Sox' Dustin Pedroia. The pitching wasn't up to previous levels—there were twelve hits by the Cards and blown saves by two Cardinal relievers, including by the eventual winner, Trevor Rosenthal. A line-drive double in the bottom of the ninth, whacked by pinch hitter Allen Craig on the first pitch from the previously impregnable Sox closer Koji Uehara, set up the last scene of the opera.
With Craig on second and Yadier Molina, who had singled, on third, John Jay hit a ground ball to second—not deep enough to deliver the slow-footed Molina, who was tagged out at the plate by Jarrod Saltalamacchia. The catcher, finding Craig approaching third base—he was slowed by an old ankle injury—fired there, perhaps in time to nail the runner, except that the ball went past the diving third baseman, Will Middlebrooks, and out into left field. Craig, scrambling to his feet again to head home, half-stumbled over the recumbent Middlebrooks before he could resume his gimping trip, and was out there, on the return peg—only he was not. Home-plate ump Dana DeMuth signalled "safe," then pointed meaningfully to his colleague Jim Joyce, out at third, who had properly called the tangle an obstruction by Middlebrooks.
Shock. Rejoicing. Horror-struck Sox pleading. Game over. Sorry, guys, but the obstruction rule, as entrenched as Marbury v. Madison, does not require evil intent by the obstructionist. Craig, who had reinjured his ankle while sliding and believed himself out, can be forgiven for not quite understanding all the excitement around him. Not quite believing it remains true for us all. I could not recall a game ever ending this way, and neither could Tim McCarver or Joe Buck, up in the booth. Another First Ever, then, right to the gizzard for all of New England.
The Red Sox, returning to the field Sunday evening, might expect to find crime-scene tape surrounding home plate, third base, and much of left field. Fatal pegs from home and past third have now caused both of their losses, and they must win tonight to give themselves a reasonable chance in this series. I would still not call this the most amazing outcome of any set of peg-and-tag plays in the annals, reserving that honor still for some unlikely moments in Seattle, in 1985, when Blue Jays catcher Buck Martinez (he's their longtime TV announcer now) tagged out a sliding Mariners base runner at the plate but broke his leg in the collision. Spotting another Mariners base runner headed for third, he somehow arose and threw the ball in that direction. The heave went wild, with the ball sailing out to the left fielder, who had begun the whole thing. Again, he threw home, where Martinez made the second of his two tag-outs on the same play, and fainted from shock and pain.

SXSW: Internet Haves and Have-Nots
by Alan Melson 12 Mar 2011 12:01 AM
Day 1 of this year's South by Southwest Interactive conference on Friday brought conversations about making the internet even more ubiquitous in America – and what tools could help make that happen.
Over the past few days, downtown Austin has been transformed into the overstuffed bouillabaisse of discussion, promotion and networking that is South by Southwest – SXSW – for another year. Day 1 of the interactive conference on Friday brought conversations about making the internet even more ubiquitous in America – and what tools could help make that happen. KERA's Director of Interactive Alan Melson is blogging from various sessions throughout the conference.
Texas native Matt Mullenweg has become something of a legend in Internet circles. Mullenweg, 27, created the blogging platform WordPress in 2004 while still a student at the University of Houston, and has dedicated his work since then to constant expansions and upgrades to improve the platform. Usage of WordPress has exploded, thanks in large part to its being free to use in its most basic form; many first-time bloggers have been able to establish an online presence simply and quickly on the platform, yet it is also used by organizations as large as The New York Times and CNN (as well as Art&Seek).

In his well-attended Q&A on the first day of SXSW Interactive 2011, Mullenweg offered the surprising statistic that 12 percent of Internet sites are now powered by WordPress. Speaking to interviewer John Battelle, the affable, optimistic Mullenweg said he wants to see WordPress' growth continue – not just as a blogging tool but as a way for people to manage content on larger or more traditional websites. He also reaffirmed his commitment to keeping his basic product readily accessible at no cost.
"The more I've given away, the more I've gotten back, so it makes sense to keep giving stuff away," he said. "When you do it right and build a business in a sustainable way, there is less incentive to focus on monetization."
But even as free or open-source tools like WordPress abound, there is still a sizable portion of the United States without access to the Internet – at least at speeds fast enough to access most of today's content. Down the hall, another discussion focused on that issue, and the roadblocks that keep more Americans from being able to take advantage of what the web has to offer.
The "Digital Divide" forum featured librarian, technology advocate and blogger Jessamyn West talking about the sizable areas of her state, Vermont, that still lack high-speed internet options, and how the issue is more common across rural America than telecom companies may lead you to believe. West said recent statistics show that 35 percent of America still lacks broadband connectivity options, severely limiting residents' access to streaming media, advanced e-mail and social-networking sites most Internet users take for granted.
"The 'cloud' we hear about is only real to those with broadband access," West said.
The biggest hurdle, West said, involves the substantial cost of running the "final mile" of fiberoptic cable to these rural homes – a cost many companies don't want given the low number of residents, and thus potential subscribers, in those areas. West said the lack of access directly impacts children and young adults in those areas, who don't get a chance to become the "digital natives" who quickly learn Internet-related skills due to frequent usage, giving them a valuable skillset for education and, later, for the workforce.
The future for providing more exposure to the Internet world isn't completely bleak, however. Fellow panelist Fiona Morgan, a veteran newspaper reporter now pursuing graduate work in public policy at Duke University, recounted a recent North Carolina project paid for with federal stimulus funds that outfitted 27 public housing projects with free wireless access. The project led to a great expansion in Internet usage and literacy among residents; West said this supports the panel's conclusion that increasing adoption of internet usage is much easier than increasing access.

About Solheim Senior Community
Solheim Senior Community is a thriving community where love, respect and joy in living is experienced by all who live, work and visit. Since 1923, a century of service, Solheim has shone a blessedly bright light in Eagle Rock.

Solheim is a single-site continuing care retirement community located in Eagle Rock, California. Their four levels of comprehensive care – from independent residential living to skilled nursing and memory care – guarantee that no matter how much or how little care their residents require, they can comfortably remain in the community they have come to know and love.
Solheim is one of the longest-serving senior communities in Southern California. Their aim is to continue ministering to the physical, mental and spiritual needs of older adults and delivering quality care and services in an environment that is conducive to the promotion of wellness and an abundant life for its residents and families for another century.

As the global psychiatric community enters a new era of transformation, this book explores lessons learned from previous efforts with the goal of "getting it right" this time. In response to the common refrain that we know about and 'do' recovery already, the authors set the recovery movement within the conceptual framework of major thinkers and achievers in the history of psychiatry, such as Philippe Pinel, Dorothea Dix, Adolf Meyer, Harry Stack Sullivan, and Franco Basaglia.
The book reaches beyond the usual boundaries of psychiatry to incorporate lessons from related fields, such as psychology, sociology, social welfare, philosophy, political economic theory, and civil rights. From Jane Addams and the Settlement House movement to Martin Luther King, Jr., and Gilles Deleuze, this book identifies the less well-known and less visible dimensions of the recovery concept and movement that underlie concrete clinical practice.
In addition, the authors highlight the limitations of previous efforts to reform and transform mental health practice, such as the de-institutionalization movement begun in the 1950s, in the hope that the field will not have to repeat these same mistakes. Their thoughtful analysis and valuable advice will benefit people in recovery, their loved ones, the practitioners who serve them, and society at large.
Larry Davidson is Associate Professor of psychiatry at the Connecticut Mental Health Center at Yale. His patient-oriented research includes recovery from serious mental illness, the development of qualitative and participatory research methods, community-based treatment of psychosis, the development and evaluation of innovative psycho-social interventions, and the promotion of collaborative relationships between people with serious mental illness and their healthcare providers. He received the President's Award, United States Psychosocial Rehabilitation Association, New York Chapter, in 2007 and the Franco Basaglia Memorial Scholarship, Fondazione Basaglia, Rome, Italy, in 2008.

Microsoft files patent for device that enforces licenses through visual surveillance
Microsoft files patent for device that enforces licenses through visual surveillance:
Microsoft has filed a patent for a system that could potentially use a camera to determine whether you're breaking its content-viewing rules or not. US Patent Application 20120278904 describes the ability to use a Kinect-like camera-enabled device for "continuously monitoring a number of users at a display device during the performance of [some] content," which basically means the camera would watch the faces of anyone watching a display showing licensed content (like a movie or a game), and then track those faces to see if the viewers had appropriately licensed it.
The patent lists a number of options for determining the validity of the possible viewers, including counting their number (as in, making sure only three people were able to see a movie), or actually identifying specific users (to make sure Julie isn't watching a movie that Mark was only licensed to see). The patent itself doesn't specifically mention Kinect, but it does mention the idea of a "gaming and media system" as well as "mobile devices" with the same capability.
Obviously, such a system would have some weaknesses (could you use a picture or a sculpture to spoof the camera?), and the patent states at the end that this is just one possible implementation of a setup like this. But Microsoft is apparently thinking about using Kinect's ability to recognize you for more than just throwing around spells and playing games. In the future, that camera may be used to figure out whether you're following the rules or not.

Aftenposten / April 5, 2005
This female wolf was said to have been shot by mistake
Five wolves were shot last winter, including a key female that one hunter felled "by mistake," he said. The wolf hunt was highly controversial, both within Norway and especially outside the country, and now researchers indicate it was indeed misguided.
That's because it vastly reduced the stated goals for Norway's fledgling wolf population as agreed by members of Parliament less than a year ago. They wanted three breeding pairs within the area of eastern Norway, along the Swedish border, that's been set aside as a wolf management area.
The latest report from the Scandinavian wolf project Scandulv claims only the so-called Julussa pack now has a male and a female fit to breed this spring. Scandulv's research suggests there are no free-roaming wolf pairs capable of breeding either.
The Gråfjell pack still exists, but its lead female was shot in error in February, and the pack has no other females believed to be able to produce pups.
"We expect the Julussa pack to breed this year, but we can never be certain," researcher Petter Wabakken told newspaper Aftenposten. "We may have a year with no breeding."
That's a blow to the general secretary of the World Wildlife Fund, Rasmus Hansson. "We're looking at the lowest wolf population in many years," Hansson said. "The authorities were warned. The result (of the winter hunt) is exactly what we feared. We now have only one functioning pack left."
He also criticized Norway's and Sweden's inability to cooperate on management of the wolf population. Swedish policies are much more protective of the wolves, while Norway's powerful farm and ranch lobby sees the wolves as a threat to their open grazing.


The first book in the Richard Hannay series by John Buchan. Richard Hannay finds a corpse in his flat, and becomes involved in a plot by spies to precipitate war and subvert British naval power. The resourceful victim of a manhunt, he is pursued by both the police and the ruthless conspirators. The Thirty-Nine Steps is a seminal 'chase' thriller, rapid and vivid. It has been widely influential and frequently dramatised: the film directed by Alfred Hitchcock became a screen classic. This engaging novel also provides insights into the interaction of patriotism, fear and prejudice.
It made me bite my lips to think of the plans I had been building up those last years in Bulawayo. I had got my pile—not one of the big ones, but good enough for me; and I had figured out all kinds of ways of enjoying myself. My father had brought me out from Scotland at the age of six, and I had never been home since; so England was a sort of Arabian Nights to me, and I counted on stopping there for the rest of my days.
But from the first I was disappointed with it. In about a week I was tired of seeing sights, and in less than a month I had had enough of restaurants and theatres and race-meetings. I had no real pal to go about with, which probably explains things. Plenty of people invited me to their houses, but they didn't seem much interested in me. They would fling me a question or two about South Africa, and then get on their own affairs. A lot of Imperialist ladies asked me to tea to meet schoolmasters from New Zealand and editors from Vancouver, and that was the dismalest business of all. Here was I, thirty-seven years old, sound in wind and limb, with enough money to have a good time, yawning my head off all day. I had just about settled to clear out and get back to the veld, for I was the best bored man in the United Kingdom.
That afternoon I had been worrying my brokers about investments to give my mind something to work on, and on my way home I turned into my club—rather a pot-house, which took in Colonial members. I had a long drink, and read the evening papers. They were full of the row in the Near East, and there was an article about Karolides, the Greek Premier. I rather fancied the chap. From all accounts he seemed the one big man in the show; and he played a straight game too, which was more than could be said for most of them. I gathered that they hated him pretty blackly in Berlin and Vienna, but that we were going to stick by him, and one paper said that he was the only barrier between Europe and Armageddon. I remember wondering if I could get a job in those parts. It struck me that Albania was the sort of place that might keep a man from yawning.
About six o'clock I went home, dressed, dined at the Cafe Royal, and turned into a music-hall. It was a silly show, all capering women and monkey-faced men, and I did not stay long. The night was fine and clear as I walked back to the flat I had hired near Portland Place. The crowd surged past me on the pavements, busy and chattering, and I envied the people for having something to do. These shop-girls and clerks and dandies and policemen had some interest in life that kept them going. I gave half-a-crown to a beggar because I saw him yawn; he was a fellow-sufferer. At Oxford Circus I looked up into the spring sky and I made a vow. I would give the Old Country another day to fit me into something; if nothing happened, I would take the next boat for the Cape.
My flat was the first floor in a new block behind Langham Place. There was a common staircase, with a porter and a liftman at the entrance, but there was no restaurant or anything of that sort, and each flat was quite shut off from the others. I hate servants on the premises, so I had a fellow to look after me who came in by the day. He arrived before eight o'clock every morning and used to depart at seven, for I never dined at home.
I was just fitting my key into the door when I noticed a man at my elbow. I had not seen him approach, and the sudden appearance made me start. He was a slim man, with a short brown beard and small, gimlety blue eyes. I recognized him as the occupant of a flat on the top floor, with whom I had passed the time of day on the stairs.
'Can I speak to you?' he said. 'May I come in for a minute?' He was steadying his voice with an effort, and his hand was pawing my arm.
I got my door open and motioned him in. No sooner was he over the threshold than he made a dash for my back room, where I used to smoke and write my letters. Then he bolted back. 'Is the door locked?' he asked feverishly, and he fastened the chain with his own hand.
'I'll listen to you,' I said. 'That's all I'll promise.' I was getting worried by the antics of this nervous little chap.
There was a tray of drinks on a table beside him, from which he filled himself a stiff whisky-and-soda. He drank it off in three gulps, and cracked the glass as he set it down.
I sat down in an armchair and lit my pipe.

FCK welcome fan media groups to Parken
F.C. Copenhagen have granted supporter media outlets Københavns Fanradio, Copenhagen Sundays and Absalons Radio permission to use of a free Skybox in the B Stand of Parken Stadium for their productions during the week.
The purpose is to support the three fan media outlets and their great work around the club.
"There are some deeply dedicated fans behind these media organisations, and they spend countless hours at our club," says FCK director Lars Bo Jeppesen.
"Therefore, we want to help them develop even more by giving them a better framework to work in, as well as giving them the opportunity to work more closely together if they wish.
"At the same time, it is important for me to emphasise that this agreement has no bearing on their opportunities to work independently and remain as critical with their coverage of FCK as they would like.
"We have an idea that Parken should be 'Always On', and this is an element that contributes to the vision with the fan media's great commitment, also around the days when we have matches.
"We are happy and proud that there are fans who voluntarily invest so much energy and time in us. This is a way for us to give a little back to them."
David E. Bastian-Møller, speaking on behalf of Københavns Fanradio, Copenhagen Sundays and Absalons Radio, said: "It's really good to feel that F.C. Copenhagen appreciates the work that is provided around the club, and that FCK in this way supports our and others' work. We really appreciate that."
Work on furnishing the new facilities will begin as soon as possible.


Many saddle bags include dividers and pockets for things like laptops and pens that can be carried easily in a messenger-style bag, so Blackburn designed the Local Saddle Bags to take advantage of their own large capacity by leaving them as open as possible.
The interiors boast a healthy capacity of 1585.62 cubic inches (26 liters), which is preserved as unfettered storage space for accommodating bulky items like bags of groceries that don't fit very well in more specialized, partitioned saddle bags or are nearly impossible to carry comfortably in backpacks. The saddle bags are made of durable, bright nylon in an earth-toned color scheme that stands out on the road.
Blackburn claims that the Local Saddle Bags are compatible with most standard bike racks, but mating them to Blackburn's own Interlock rack system adds additional security by means of a keyed lock. After dismounting, the bags can be carried by a handle or a shoulder strap. The bags include reflective elements and loops for attaching lights to help keep you visible in low-light conditions.

The X-Guard developed by our specialists to fulfil the role of protection of offices and negotiations.
ACOUSTIC ISOLATION The system provides the ultimate solution in the area where cellular communications frequently cause nuisance, either through loud rings indicating incoming calls or loud conversations by subscribers. X-Guard is the most suitable for executive offices, board rooms, conference centres, corporate headquarters, libraries, cinemas, religious places, concert halls, exclusive restaurants, educational institutions, etc.
BREACH OF SECURITY POLICY Cellular phones and wLAN/BlueTooth devices are innocent looking, but they enable continuous transmission of voice/data even in places where such communication is prohibited.
ACCIDENTAL EAVESDROPPING Many cellular phones and BlueTooth headsets dial the last number called by simply hitting one button. In many instances, people press this button accidently and initiate a call unintentionally. Such incidents may lead to transmission of confidential information over the air.
INTENTIONAL EAVESDROPPING Any company or organization has such sensitive information which should be protected from leaking, but various wireless technologies could be used to collect information from a prohibited zone and send it to anywhere, even to the Internet.
The X-Guard developed by our specialists to fulfil the role of protection of offices and negotiations. The device transmits radio signals, cutting-off communications between end devices (handy, NIC, etc.) and central units (base station, router, etc.) by using a unique transmission method that confuses the receiving circuits of end devices as if no central unit was within the service area.
Following the continues development of the wireless communication the X-Guard is modular and offers up to 8 bands, which could be selected upon ordering. This device does not interfere with any communications except the selected ones within the quiet zone and naturally does not interfere with communications outside the regulated area.

On December 13, 2018, US Department of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) released proposed regulations for the Base Erosion and Anti-Abuse Tax (the BEAT), which was added to the Code as part of the 2017 Tax Act. The proposed regulations provide helpful guidance on a range of important topics and generally go a long way toward a reasonable implementation of a very challenging statute. There is one aspect of the proposed regulations, however, that may be an unwelcome surprise for many taxpayers; the proposed regulations treat stock consideration in non-cash transactions as BEAT "payments," thereby creating the potential for BEAT liability in situations involving certain liquidations, tax-free reorganizations and other non-cash transactions.
Located in section 59A, the BEAT imposes a minimum tax on US corporations (and certain foreign corporations, which are not the focus of this Insight) that consistently have annual gross receipts of $500 million or more and claim more than a de minimis amount of "base erosion tax benefits" for a taxable year. In general, as base erosion tax benefits increase, a corporate taxpayer's BEAT liability increases.
The proposed regulations, which are generally proposed to be effective for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, include guidance for determining the base erosion payments that will give rise to annual base erosion tax benefits. Prop. Reg. § 1.59A-3(b) applies the same four categories of base erosion payments found in section 59A(d) for amounts paid or accrued to a related foreign party. The two categories that should affect the most taxpayers are the general category for currently deductible items and the special category for the acquisition of depreciable or amortizable property. With respect to this latter category, the acquisition price of the property will constitute the base erosion payment, but only the amount of any depreciation or amortization deductions claimed in a tax year will produce a base erosion tax benefit for purposes of computing the BEAT.
A domestic corporation's royalty income derived in connection with business conducted outside the United States generally is eligible for the reduced 13.125 percent effective tax rate on foreign derived intangible income (FDII). To qualify, the licensee must be a foreign person, and the intangible property must be used outside the US for the ultimate benefit of an unrelated foreign person.
For example, the lower rate generally should be available for royalties from licensing intangible property to an unrelated foreign person for use: (1) in the production and sale of products to foreign customers; (2) to provide services to foreign customers; or (3) to sublicense the intangible property to foreign persons.
Royalties from licensing intangible property to an unrelated US corporation that is for use outside the US may not qualify for FDII benefits. Such royalties should qualify, however, if instead the license is with a foreign subsidiary of the US corporation, or if a foreign subsidiary otherwise economically is considered the licensee.
A House-Senate conference committee has reached agreement on a compromise version of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which includes substantial changes to the corporate and international business taxation rules. The stage now appears to be set for final passage and enactment of the legislation before the end of 2017.
The October 2017 issue of Focus on Tax Strategies & Developments has been published. This issue includes five articles that provide insight into US federal and international tax developments and trends across a range of industries, as well as strategies for navigating these complex issues.


I had a cat who would purr so loud you could hear her over three rooms. She was very fluffy, loved the grandkids, and even played with Legos. We named her George because of the cartoon. We had her for 2 or 3 years. She just never came home one day. We live in the country - foxes, raccoons, coyotes, probably bobcats, and a friend nearby has a photo of a big cat (panther, mountain lion, whatever) at the bottom of his hunting stand (insert irony). So anything could have got her. Our other cat has lived here for 13 years, no problem.

Newcastle United are preparing a £20million January double swoop for Tottenham Hotspur strikers Jermain Defoe and Roman Pavlyuchenko.
The Magpies are flying high in the Premier League, unbeaten and currently in third, and owner Mike Ashley is ready to back manager Alan Pardew with significant investment.
The Toon Army are aiming for Europe but Pardew is worried about the lack of recognised goal scorers in his squad.
Demba Ba, Leon Best and Shola Ameobi have found the back of the net this season but all have dismal injury records.
Defoe and Pavlyuchenko have both lost their starting place in the Spurs team to the strikeforce of Emmanuel Adebayor and Rafael van der Vaart.


Discussion in 'MacBook Pro' started by fpetters, Feb 12, 2008.
I recently bought a refurbished 17 Macbook Pro 2.33 Ghz computer and have had a few issues. I am trying to find out if they are unique to my computer, or more widespread. Also, I want to find out if they are hardware or software problems.
Problem 1: Many of my programs quit unexpectedly. These programs including Safari, Word X, Powerpoint X, and a few others. Safari is the biggest problem since sometimes it does it when I am not using it (Safari page is open in the background).
Problem 2: My computer has bad sleep problems. When I shut the lid, the computer does not go to sleep. But when I open it, it goes to sleep. Also, if it is sitting on my desk it will not always go to sleep, but the screen will go blank and the light will stay lit (will not go in and out). Also, if I put the computer to sleep and shut the lit, it turns on when I pick the computer up and move it around. Some notes: when I put a magnet close to the sleep sensor the computer goes to sleep. I can get a paper clip to stick to my screen (where the magnet is located). So these work fine.
Any help or ideas for these two issues would be very appreciated. I use the computer for work and cannot send it in to apple car to get it fixed.
Some notes: when I put a magnet close to the sleep sensor the computer goes to sleep. I can get a paper clip to stick to my screen (where the magnet is located). So these work fine.
You have a paperclip that sticks to the screen on a MBP? Based on my understanding, there is no magnet on the screen of MBP, so it should not stick there.
Also, how long do you wait for the computer to go to sleep. Can you put it to sleep using the Apple menu?
If I set it up to go to sleep after 1 min. then it will act like it is in sleep mode but the light will stay lit and will not go in and out.
I'm having the exact same sleep issue with my Macbook Pro 17. It started after I had apple do some repairs in which they replaced the screen and keyboard. Not sure if it is related, but you never know.
Were you ever able to resolve the issue?
I'm beginning to think that it has something to do with my lid not closing securely, and there being a small gap between the lid and computer right where the sensor is.
Just so you know, I am having the exact same sleep issue where my MBP will not go to sleep when it's supposed to...the screen will go black and the light will stay solidly lit but it will not go to sleep.
Try resetting the SMC and download/install all updates.
I know. I was having that exact same problem. Talk about frustrating. If you pass a magnet over the sensor, it should wake it up for you.
Resetting SMC has not worked for me.
Look, I LOVE my MBP, but I draw the line at sleeping with it!


The South Dakota Supreme Court rules that government may not seize automobiles without giving the owner a fair trial by jury.
The South Dakota Supreme Court on Wednesday struck down the state's property seizure law as unconstitutional insofar as it denied property owners the right to a fair trial before a jury to defend their automobiles and cash. The law had given police authority to seize automobiles, cash and airplanes so long as they could cite "probable cause" that the items potentially were used to transport drugs. After an item was seized, it was up to the owner to prove that it should not be taken in the first place.
In this case, police impounded the blue 1969 Pontiac belonging to Ora Mae Baade. Officials claimed the car transported drugs around July 13, 2006, so they seized it along with $4,404.83 in cash. Baade said that it was her car but she did not know her son's use of the vehicle involved drugs. She demanded a jury trial to decide the matter, and a lower court quickly denied her request.
Despite the unambiguous language in the state constitution, courts have systematically restricted the types of cases that can be heard by jury. The supreme court, in this case, argued that the provision stating, "The right of trial by jury shall remain inviolate and shall extend to all cases at law without regard to the amount in controversy" applied to forfeiture cases. The high court did so because at the time the South Dakota Constitution was ratified similar trials would have been held before a jury.
"The right to a jury trial may be an inconvenience to the state when it seeks to forfeit allegedly misused property," the unanimous court wrote. "However, mere inconvenience would be insufficient reason for denying a traditional and substantial constitutional right."
Car seizure jury trials are available in California, Florida, Idaho, Illinois, Maine, Massachusetts, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Vermont and Oklahoma. They are denied to residents in Alabama, Georgia, Michigan, Minnesota, North Carolina, Tennessee and North Dakota. The full text of the decision is available in a 136k PDF file at the source link below.

Seth Glier
If I Could Change One Thing
Mpress Records
Grown Up and Classy Love Songs, with a Biting Edge.
I wasn't aware of Seth Glier until I received this; his third album but his back story is fascinating. Non-stop touring from the age of 15, eventually brought him support slots for acts like James Taylor and Emmylou Harris and his previous album was Grammy nominated. So he must be doing something right.
In all honesty it took me three listens to get a handle on this album; primarily because it has a big-scale production that appeared to swamp a couple of songs; and isn't what I normally listen to. Then , in a light-bulb moment 'I got it!'
Proof, which opens the album is well constructed and intelligent love song; something that Elton John might have written for Robbie Williams; but sung by someone who cares.
A song that 'very nearly got away' is Standing Still. Initially it passed me by; but listening again in the middle of the night on headphones, it caught me unawares. The song begins with someone waking up, drinking coffee and reading about the 'world going to Help in a handcart'; Seth then goes on to question the attitude of Standing Still on the sidelines. Is that enough? No, its not is the answer. He suggests; and I agree that we must call stand tall and fight not just for our own rights; but the rights of the less well off around us. An excellent song on many levels!
The song that will get the most Press coverage in the USA will be the title track If I Could Change One Thing; simply because it's a duet with Crystal Bowersox from American Idol; but the simple piano and cello arrangement make it a stunningly sensitive ballad that will make the hair on the back of your head stand on end.
Lift You Up and Scars are both in a similar vein; articulate, slightly pensive and incredibly intimate under big swooping strings and an orchestral arrangement.
When I first saw the track listing I went straight for You Wear it Well; thinking it was the Rod Stewart song; but alas it wasn't. Instead it is a starkly beautiful song written from the point of view of a man who is still in love with his wife after 30 plus years. This has quickly become my favourite song here; especially because the simple arrangement of Glier singing and playing guitar and piano, with his friend Joe Nerney adding occasional sax show what a great album this could have been.
The album closes with another, relatively simple arrangement, Our Song show cases Glier's soft and smoky voice in a way several others can't.
I've been playing this for over a week now; and Mrs. Magpie absolutely adores it; while I think it is an opportunity missed, with the Record Company throwing everything at it. That said, there is a huge demographic out there who will lap this up. Me? I'm looking forward to seeing him play live with just Nerney for company. Hopefully there will be a bootleg available somewhere down the line 😉

Nite in Olde Cumming set for March 19
Guests at a previous Nite in Olde Cumming check out some of the silent auction items. This year's event is set for March 19. - photo by FCN file photo
Updated: March 6, 2016, 12:10 a.m.
* What: Sawnee Woman's Club 31st annual Nite in Olde Cumming
* When: 7 p.m. March 19
* Where: Three Chimneys Farm Clubhouse, 3625 Three Chimneys Lane
* Cost: $75
* For more information or for tickets, visit SawneeWomansClub.org.
CUMMING — A local organization that prides itself on its dedication to improving the lives of children, women and families has tickets available for its annual fundraiser, and the night will not be short on glamour and glitz.
The 31st annual Nite in Olde Cumming will be held as a benefit to Sawnee Woman's Club 7 p.m. March 19 in the Three Chimneys Farm Clubhouse.
"This is a special night for our club. It's the only fundraiser we do, and it must provide funds for a whole year of service projects … in the Forsyth community," said Lisa Ann McDougald, event chair.
Guests will receive a red-carpet welcome as they arrive to the theme of "Putting on the Glitz" before being served dinner by Chef Kern Chiasson.
The night will feature live music and dancing from Band X, casino tables and upscale shopping for travel, events and accessories at a silent auction.
One winner will win a raffled Big Green Egg.
"We're so excited to have our friends and neighbors across Forsyth put on their favorite cocktail attire and enjoy a chance to feel a little bit of Hollywood glamour, all while staying close to the community we serve," said Sharon Lee, club co-president.
"This event is designed to be fun and light-hearted, but we're very serious about the service work we do, so this is a fine opportunity for people who aren't familiar with the club to learn about the charities we support and the issues that are important to us."
The nonprofit's recent projects include the Family Promise Bed Race and Festival, the Eggstraordinary Outdoor Art Project, Read Across America at Chestatee Elementary School, college scholarship awards, Treat the Troops and the Forsyth County Sheriff's Office Teen Interception Program.
The club is part of the General Federation of Woman's Clubs, the oldest non-denominational, non-partisan, international service organization of volunteer women in the world. Membership is 10 million worldwide, with chapters operating in more than 20 countries and including 6,000 in the United States.
The local club has served about 100,000 volunteer service hours and given nearly $500,000 in support of local charities since 1985.
Tickets are $75 and can be ordered online or in person from any club member.
Fundraising is not the only purpose of the event.
"This is a fun, relaxed party, so prospective members have a low-key opportunity to socialize with current members to learn about the work we do in fine arts, education, environmental conservation, family stability and home life, public affairs and even how we support deployed military troops through international outreach," Lee said.

The highly anticipated Thames Tower in Reading is edging towards completion, with construction to be completed in February 2017.
Since June 2016, the Tower has been slowly revealed to the public after being cased in scaffolding since the project began. This reached a crucial stage in November with the top of the double storey height ground floor colonnade starting to appear.
The new appearance of this transformed building fits perfectly within this high profile location opposite the recently completed Reading Crossrail Terminal. The chamfered corners are gone and the use of two types of terracotta tile – one a flat face, the other fluted – have added detail and help accentuate the height of the building.
Internally, the Cat A fit-out of the 14 floors is progressing well. The exposed surfaces help provide generous floor-to-ceiling heights of 3.1m on 1st–10th floors, 3.7m on 11th–13th floors and 4.1m on the 14th floor. These changes in volume and height, as you go up through the building, provide a varied choice for prospective tenants, ensuring that each floor isn't the same boring 'vanilla space'.
The Large full height windows of Thames Tower provide unrivalled panoramic, 360 degree views across the Thames Valley, ensuring tenants have large volumes of natural light throughout the day.
The office space throughout Thames Tower has been designed to provide everything that is needed for the modern commercial tenant, including the flexibility to customise everything from the design of the kitchen and communal areas to the occupation density of the workplace. Once completed Thames Tower will provide 186,745 sq ft of exciting new workspace.

La Estación principal de Taipéi () es una estación de ferrocarril de la ciudad de Taipéi, Taiwán, en la cual convergen diferentes sistemas de transporte público como el Tren de Alta Velocidad de Taiwán y el Metro de Taipéi. Por la estación circulan diariamente más de 400.000 pasajeros, incluyendo 321.806 que usan el metro y 52.313 que utilizan el tren rápido.

La Estación Taipéi y sus alrededores actualmente están en proceso de renovación y reurbanización. Los proyectos incluyen la construcción del Taoyuan Airport MRT System (programado para entrar en servicio en 2013) y la Puerta de Taipéi.

Historia

La primera estación ferroviaria en Taipéi fue completada en Dadaocheng en 1891, cuando el ferrocarril a Keelung fue abierto para el servicio. Al principio, una estación temporal fue construida mientras una estación permanente fue construida en 1897. En 1901, la estación fue localizada al este de su ubicación actual. Fue reconstruida en 1940 para acomodar el tráfico de pasajeros cada vez mayor.

Para aliviar la congestión del tráfico provocada por los cruces de ferrocarril en el centro de Taipéi, un túnel de metro entre Huashan y Wanhua fue construida junto con el edificio de la estación actual como parte del proyecto de tren de Taipéi Metro. Cuando el sistema de metro se terminó el 2 de septiembre de 1989, del servicio ferroviario se trasladó al edificio recién terminado (finalizado el 5 de septiembre de 1989) y el viejo edificio, así como una estación temporal fueron demolidas.

La estación actual se amplió con la terminación del Metro de Taipéi. La estación de metro está conectado a la planta baja de la estación de ferrocarril y se abrió al tráfico de pasajeros en 1998. Amplia centros comerciales subterráneos existen ahora en la parte delantera y trasera de la estación, que emulan las que se encuentran en Tokio y Osaka, Japón. La estación también se convirtió en una terminal de trenes de alta velocidad de Taiwán tren cuando la red comenzó a prestar servicio en 2007.

Localización

La estación está localizada en el Distrito Zhongzheng, en el centro de Taipéi. La zona sur de la estación es conocida como "estación del frente" porque la entrada original principal de la estación de trenes daba al sur. En consecuencia, el área
justo al norte de la estación se conoce como "estación de atrás". El área de la estación de atrás se localiza actualmente en el Distrito de Datong. Los Distritos comerciales alrededor de la estación son populares de estudiantes y viajeros,y cuenta con una gran colección de librerías,empresas ecléticas dirigido a los estudiantes, y escuelas de reforzamiento.

También hay muchas tiendas dirigidas a trabajadores extranjeros procedentes de Filipinas e Indonesia. Debido a su ubicación que se considera cercana al centro de Taipéi,la estación es un popular punto de encuentro para estudiantes y turistas.

Desarrollo en curso
La Estación de Taipéi y el área que lo rodea han estado sometiéndose a la renovación desde 2005. El arquitecto japonés Fumihiko Maki fue elegido para diseñar dos rascacielos que rodearán la estación de ferrocarril. Maki también supervisará la renovación de la Estación Taipéi. La altura de la torre más alta será 76 historias, mientras que la torre más corta será 56 historias. Los dos rascacielos serán construidos en las parcelas vacías que se encuentran adyacentes a la estación de Taipéi, por encima del aeropuerto de Taoyuan la estación de MRT.

El interior de la estación está pasando por obras de renovación, de febrero a octubre de 2011. los baños del sótano será renovados, el sótano y los preparativos del primer piso de Breeze de espacio adicional en la Plaza de venta se iniciará, la taquilla grande en el pasillo del primer piso serán eliminados, y locales comerciales adicionales se asignarán. In addition, the flooring on the first floor will be completely replaced, fire and evacuation regulations will be improved, and solar panels will be installed on the station roof. Además, el suelo en el primer piso será reemplazado por completo, la normativa contra incendios y evacuación será mejorado, y los paneles solares serán instalados en el techo de la estación.

Servicios

La estación en sí es un gran edificio que alberga varios servicios de ferrocarril, además de servir como sede de la Administración Ferroviaria de Taiwán. Los andenes se encuentran en el nivel B2, mientras que el nivel B1 sirve como una sala de espera. Servicios de venta de entradas son en el primer piso, mientras que la segunda planta contiene un patio de comidas y varias tiendas, incluyendo el centro comercial (Breeze Taipéi Station). Los niveles superiores están ocupados por las oficinas de TRA.

Small businesses 'discontent' with renewable energy supplier options
10 October 2016, source edie newsroom
Britain's small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are keen to make the switch to 100% renewable energy-powered operations, but many are not receiving enough support from energy suppliers in order to do so, a new survey has revealed.
Just 11% of SMEs would rate their current energy supplier as 'excellent' when it comes to renewable energy support and options
An in-depth survey of decision makers within 100 SMEs across the country found that 72% want their energy suppliers to be more committed to renewable energy, with just one in 10 rating their current supplier's renewable energy support as "excellent".
Almost three quarters (71%) of SMEs agree that the process of switching suppliers should be made much simpler – a key factor in the fact that just one in five businesses that have tried to switch ended up not switching supplier at all, according to business electricity provider Haven Power, which commissioned the survey.
"That so many SMEs are dissatisfied with their existing energy supplier is perhaps unsurprising, but the sheer scale of the discontent revealed in this report remains shocking," said Haven Power chief executive Jonathan Kini. "SMEs want more from their supplier and a commitment to renewable energy is one of the demands they are pushing for.
"This suggests there is some fundamental change happening, and we in the energy sector need to respond to it by not only helping SMEs reduce their energy usage but also being able to supply 100% renewable energy.
"The fact that only 21% of respondents believe their supplier is completely committed to renewable energy and almost a third saying their supplier is either not very committed or they are not sure they have a renewable option shows a huge gap in the market for those with a different offer."
'Wake-up call'
Renewable energy was rated the third most important factor – behind price and service quality – that would prompt businesses to switch suppliers. One in five SMEs (22%) told Haven that they would stay late at work if it meant they could purchase a 100% clean energy product.
Digital businesses are the most eager to make the renewable energy switch, according to the survey, with 80% agreeing that they would want their current supplier to support renewable energy. But not one respondent in this sector received support from their suppliers when it came to switching to renewable energy, Haven says.
Kini added: "This research is something of a wake-up call to many in the energy supply sector. It tells us what SMEs want in terms of renewable energy options, and what they expect from their supplier to help them achieve their goals of greener energy and lower usage. This is the Haven Power offer that we're rolling out."
Haven Power is part of the Drax Group plc - an innovative energy company that owns and operates the UK's largest power station in Selby, North Yorkshire which typically provides 8% of the UK's electricity. The group has transformed itself over recent years to a predominantly biomass-fuelled generator.

Does anyone know if the Delkevic unpainted are clear coated? My friend wants to buy some but I feel that they would chip up easy if theres no coat on them for protection.
Call the compny and ask. Thats your best bet.
They are not clear coated, they are literally just a piece of plastic. I got a set for my F4i then had a auto shop paint them. The quality of the paint turned out 100x better than if I would have got a painted set from Delkevic. The fitment of the fairings was great, at least a 9.5/10, but I hear that if you get a painted set from them the paint chips easy which is why I got a unpainted set and had a auto shop paint it.
that friend would be me haha, how much did the body shop cost for the clear coat?
Do you just want it clear coated or painted and clear coated.
600 for ride of the year ?! almost there !! please go vote!!

Skate kallades förr en mindre, utstickande, del av en socken som låg i ett annat härad eller län än socknens huvuddel, och vars innevånare således sökte sig till en kyrka i annat härad eller län.

Termen finns främst belagd från Götaland, och i synnerhet Småland.

År 1860 fanns följande skatar i Sverige: Skårdals skate (tillhörde politiskt Bohuslän och var därmed norsk exklav till 1658), Nydala skate, Regna (eller Svennevads) skate, Sännö skate, Vena skate, Karlstorps skate i Järeda socken, Lönneberga skate, Nävelsjö skate, Rumskulla skate, Tuna skate, Yxnerums skate samt Ånhulta skate (del av Virserums socken).

Digvijaya granted bail in Gadkari's defamation case
December 22, 2012 By Leave a Comment
A Delhi court Friday granted bail to Congress leader Digvijaya Singh in a defamation case filed by Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) chief Nitin Gadkari.
Metropolitan Magistrate (MM) Sudesh Kumar asked Digvijaya Singh to furnish a surety of Rs.50,000.
The Congress leader, who was present in the court, sought a copy of the CD produced as evidence against him.
The court had earlier issued summons to Digvijaya Singh to appear before the court.
The matter would be heard next Jan 31, 2013.
The court's order came on the defamation complaint filed by Gadkari Oct 1.
Gadkari said in his complaint that the Congress leader dragged his name into alleged irregularities in the allocation of coal blocks. The BJP leader recorded his statement in the court that he was "not responsible for any coal block allocation to anybody".

Q: Is it possible to create a generic method for adding items to a entity framework dbset? I have not worked with Entity Framework or generics before and am having some difficulty reducing my code.
I am parsing a text file to load 10 lookup tables with data that could possibly change nightly. The text files have a heading for the "type" followed by a list of key/value sets. I have this working perfectly, but I would like to refactor the code to clean it up and would like to use generic methods to accomplish this so I can reduce the duplicated code.
I have gotten the parsing down to a generic method, but I have not been able to figure out how to get the entities added to the context in a generic way. I have to loop over a list of the entities for each type and add them to the context:
void Main()
{
    switch (line.ToUpper())
    {
        case "AREA":
        {
            List<Area> areaList = this.GetItems<Area>(file);

            foreach (var element in areaList)
            {
                if (context.Area.Find(element.Id) == null)
                {
                    context.Area.Add(element);
                }
            }

            break;
        }
        case "CATEGORY":
        {
            List<Category> categoryList = this.GetItems<Category>(file);

            foreach (var element in categoryList)
            {
                if (context.Category.Find(element.Id) == null)
                {
                    context.Category.Add(element);
                }
            }

            break;
        }
    }
}

private List<T> GetItems<T>(StreamReader reader) where T : ILookupData, new()
{
    string line;
    List<T> list = new List<T>();

    while (reader.Peek() == ' ')
    {
        line = reader.ReadLine().TrimStart();
        string[] tokens = line.Split(new string[] { " - " }, 2, StringSplitOptions.None);

        T item = new T();
        item.Id = Convert.ToInt32(tokens[0]);
        item.Description = (string)tokens[1];

        list.Add(item);
    }

    return list;
}

Update: The above works fine, but cannot seem to get the context added.
I have tried a few different things, but seem to keep getting this error when I try to generic up the context:

The type 'T' must be a reference type in order to use it as parameter 'T' in the generic type of method.

The last thing I tried was to add a generic GetDbSet to the context:
public DbSet<T> GetDbSet<T>() where T : class
{
    return this.Set<T>();
}

But I get the same error in my controller adding this code to the GetItems method:
using (MyContext context = new MyContext())
{
    var dbSet = context.GetDbSet<T>();
}

A: I have a generic repository in my current project. This is its add method:
public void Add<T>(T newItem) where T : class
{
    db.Set<T>().Add(newItem);
}

where db is the DbContext object itself. The where T : class fixes that error about reference types. Without it, you could pass any type in as T, including bool or struct, or any value type, which DbSet.Add() can't handle. The where specifies that T must be a class, which is a reference type, and therefore allowed.

Q: page-break-inside order of priority Is it possible to set the order of priority for page breaks with CSS? So if an element has page-break-inside: avoid and element inside it also has the same, is it possible to say which should break first if a break is needed?
I'm working on a report where there are headers, sub headers and data and the view is created with handebars and can have varying amounts of data. I want to group the data as much as possible but absolutely want to avoid the situation where a page will break immediately below a header or a sub header.
In the following example, if I need a page break it needs to be between a paragraph and a header.

Header 1

Header 1.1

Paragraph 1.1

Header 1.2

Paragraph 1.2

Header 2

Header 2.1

Paragraph 2.1

I've been wrapping items that I don't want to include a break in div's with a no-break class. But how can I achieve the above? Nesting the no-breaks doesn't work.

A complex process and communication landscape currently characterises free-of-payment transfers of securities.
Even receiving accurate delivery instructions from the depository banks is in many cases difficult and time-consuming. Frequent media discontinuity and complex custody structures regularly require manual and separate process steps. This inevitably leads to delays and high susceptibility to errors.
ifsam provides support in this respect with 'FreeDel', a web-based communication and information platform. You can connect with everyone involved in a process and quickly as well as efficiently exchange all the required information involving the free-of-payment transfer of securities.
'FreeDel' saves you from having to conduct extensive searches, provides standardised interfaces and supports you with all the common download formats. The system enables you to store standards; to save all documents required in an order and will provide you with an up-to-date overview of your pending transactions.
