When you just hear this news, you may not believe until you see it! Uganda's betting community has once woken up to another cash surprise, this time from Soroti. So, what exactly happened? Well, something strange! Moses Onaba, a special hire driver in Soroti officially said bye-bye to poverty after winning 96,891,156 Uganda shillings with a stake of ONLY 1000/=.
The unusualness about the winning ticket is that it has a record 65 matches with only four simple betting options; 1 (home win), 1X (home win or draw), X2 (draw or away win) and 2 (away win).
On how he made it, the winner told us that, "You do not have to be a sports genius to win a bet. You just need to know some basic information about teams, just like me." On why he selected many teams, Onaba said that, "I wanted to be one of the record winners.
Onaba said that he has been betting with Fortebet for the last four years and this is the second time he is winning.
This money was handed over to him on Monday at the head office in Kololo by Fortebet's David Sendagire and witnessed by Soroti Regional Manager, Samuel Ibaale.


The movie version of "X-Men Origins: Wolverine" was rated PG-13, even though you could see a little bit of Hugh Jackman's heinie. But Wolverine has always been a dark and violent character, and the movie only hinted occasionally at some of his darker deeds.
"X-Men Origins: Wolverine" the game leaves less to the imagination (this is only for the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions; the Wii and PS2 versions have a tamed-down "T" rating). Actually, there is no Wolverine heinie but you get to see his claws a lot.
What they're selling: From Activision - "Unleash the razor-sharp adamantium claws, feral instincts and mutant regeneration powers of the world's fiercest superhero and uncage the story of how the ultimate weapon was created."
What we're telling: "Feral instincts" sounds like the most obnoxious super power ever.
The nut graph: "Wolverine" takes a couple of paths to develop the character, although it is mostly based on the movie and follows much of the plot. It also brings in some plotlines that weren't in the movie and this helps beef up the action, although the vast majority of combat happens with hundreds of faceless soldiers and stooges.
Wolverine uses his claws with graphic effect, earning the game's M rating early and often. But it feels right with this character, and with some of the combos and special moves it feels very right. The combat system is one thing that "Wolverine" does very well and shouldn't be hard to pick up if you played any of the other games based on Marvel characters.
There are also some platform and puzzle portions that would have been more enjoyable if the controls were tighter outside of combat. And even though the game doesn't do anything shockingly original for a video game, it is still enjoyable and challenging in a lot of good ways.
Video games based on movies can sometimes be pretty bad, but that's not an issue here. This is a rock-solid game that is fun to play.
Reason to smile: The giant, robotic Sentinels get their best ever video game treatment, with scary size and power ... the scale is perfect.
Reason to growl: Some of the boss fights were disappointing or at least very ordinary.

New bill to keep Washington in standard time provides way around need for federal approval
Dec 8, 2021, 9:11 AM | Updated: Dec 16, 2021, 5:06 am
BY NICK BOWMAN
Former MyNorthwest.com Editor
Washington has been waiting on federal approval for a 2019 bill seeking to keep the state in Daylight Saving Time permanently. After two years of waiting, state lawmakers will soon consider legislation to keep the state in standard time year-round instead.
Washington looks for 'alternative' paths to end years-long wait for permanent DST
That comes in the form of a newly-proposed bill from state Sen. Jim Honeyford, filed in the state Legislature this week. If passed, it would keep Washington in standard time "until congress authorizes states to observe daylight saving time year-round."
In order to stay in Daylight Saving Time, states either need a federal waiver from Congress or approval from the U.S. Department of Transportation. Staying in standard time, though, requires no such approval, and can be implemented immediately at the state level should Honeyford's bill pass in the 2022 legislative session.
If it's approved, the bill also suggests that Washington explore shifting from Pacific Standard Time to Mountain Standard Time to help mitigate "the potential impact" staying in standard time might have on neighboring states and communities.
Ending the state's twice-yearly time changes goes beyond the convenience of not having to change your clocks. According to research cited by Honeyford, "changing to and from daylight saving time twice per year has negative impacts on public health, increases traffic accidents and crime, disrupts agriculture scheduling, and hinders economic growth."
'No good reason' for Daylight Saving says UW Medicine
"Scientific studies have connected a number of health consequences with the act of switching between standard time and daylight saving time, including greater risks of heart attacks, more frequent workplace injuries, and increased suicide rates in the days immediately following the switch," the bill reads.
At the federal level, Washington Senator Patty Murray has continued to push for the Sunshine Protection Bill in Congress, which would keep the entire country in Daylight Saving Time year-round. She also has previously said she is "vigorously pursuing" a potential workaround to have the U.S. Department of Transportation grant Washington state's long-awaited waiver, although there has been little movement on that front.
Other states and territories that currently observe standard time year-round include Arizona, Hawaii, American Samoa, Guam, the Minor Outlying Islands, the Northern Mariana Islands, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Lloyds to shed further 3,000 jobs, double branch closures
© Paul Hackett © Reuters
Lloyds Banking Group has announced it is cutting more of its workforce and doubling planned branch closures. By the end of 2017, the UK's largest retail bank will close an additional 200 branches.
Goldman Sachs slashes jobs amid slowdown in trading, mergers — report
Lloyds intends to save £400 million ($528.56 million) by the end of next year.
The bank was saved after the 2008 financial crisis to the tune of £20.5 billion ($27 billion) of taxpayer's money. The bailout makes Lloyds the most exposed of any banks to turbulence in the British economy. It is the first major British bank to report results after the UK voted to leave the EU.
The bank began the process of cutting 9,000 jobs and 200 branches in 2014.
"This announcement is very bad news for workers and their families, and more widely it is a further body blow to the UK economy," said Rob MacGregor from Britain's biggest trade union, Unite.
"These are permanent jobs that are being lost. As a country, we can't afford to lose these jobs in a challenging post-Brexit world," he added.
On its Twitter account, the bank said the "decision to close these branches was made before the Brexit vote and is not linked to the result."
BBC: "Lloyds Bank job cuts are down to Brexit."
Lloyds Bank: "It's not due to Brexit, decision was taken earlier." pic.twitter.com/hVAAX64hoV
— Dancing Palace Guard (@DancerGuard) July 28, 2016
Analysts connect Lloyds' decision to an expected key rate cut on August 4 from the current historic low of 0.5 percent. The bank is also blaming a drop in the use of branches by customers.
At the same time, the British lender posted a £2.5 billion pre-tax profit in the first half of the year, up from £1.2 billion in the same period last year. The growth is explained by less payment protection insurance (PPI) compensation payouts, which significantly reduced previous profits. The impairments rose £254 million, overshadowing the achieved results in profits.
Lloyds shares were down two percent during Thursday trading in London.

Finmeccanica, through its helicopter division, handed over its first AgustaWestland AW169 new generation intermediate class helicopter to Specialist Aviation Services. The helicopter is also the first to be delivered to a United Kingdom customer and will enter service with Kent, Surrey and Sussex Air Ambulance following installation of an advanced medical interior by Specialist Aviation Services.
"We are very proud to be introducing the all new AW169 helicopter into service in the United Kingdom with one of the country's leading air ambulance operators," said Henk Schaeken, group managing director, Specialist Aviation Services. "We have been very busy training our engineers and pilots in preparation for the introduction to service of the AW169, so we can deliver from the outset the same high level of aircraft availability and support, which our customers have come to expect from us."
"The imminent delivery of the AW169 is a very significant event in the development of HEMS in the United Kingdom, especially in a heavily populated region the size of Kent, Surrey and Sussex—some 3,600-square-miles," said Adrian Bell, chief executive, Kent, Surrey and Sussex Air Ambulance Trust.
"The enhanced capabilities of the helicopter will allow us to further develop and improve the life-saving service we deliver to the community and the aircraft offers the exciting potential to reconfigure how these services are delivered for maximum effect in the future," he said.
Specialist Aviation Services has also been appointed as an Authorized Service Center for the new generation AW169 light intermediate helicopter in the United Kingdom and will provide a range of support and maintenance services to AW169 operators.
A versatile, new generation twin-engine light intermediate category helicopter, the 4.6-ton AW169 has been designed in response to the growing market demand for an aircraft that delivers high performance, meets all the latest safety standards and has multi-role capabilities. The AW169 incorporates several new technology features in the rotor system, engines, avionics, transmission and electric power generation and distribution systems.
The AW169 is part of the AgustaWestland family of new generation helicopters that includes the AW139 and AW189 models, which possess the same high performance flight characteristics and safety features as well as sharing a common cockpit layout, design philosophy and maintenance/training concept. This commonality will allow more effective operations for customers operating helicopter fleets across the four- to nine-ton categories.
More than 150 AW169 helicopters have been ordered by almost 60 customers in over 20 countries around the world to date, including framework contracts and options, for a wide range of applications including air ambulance, executive/corporate transport, law enforcement, offshore transport and utility roles. The AW169 has already been selected for air ambulance operations in the United Kingdom, Italy, Sweden and New Zealand to replace older generation helicopters.
United Kingdom customers have ordered the AW169 for air ambulance and corporate transport missions.

See the NEUDOSE satellite before it heads to space!
Written on 24 November 2022 .
When: Monday Nov 28th, 1:30 - 3:30 pm
Where: Burke Science Building, Room 309 (BSB-309)
How: Since the satellite is in a cleanroom, we can only accommodate up to 10 visitors every 15 minutes. If you're interested, please use this Sign-Up sheet.
What is NEUDOSE?
NEUDOSE is the name of McMaster's first satellite and, in 2018, the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) selected the mission for the Canadian CubeSat Project. Once in orbit, the NEUDOSE satellite aims to further our understanding of long-term exposure to space radiation by investigating how charged and neutral particles affect astronauts that are living and working in low-Earth orbit. If you'd like to learn more about the NEUDOSE project, please visit our website at mcmasterneudose.ca and stay tuned for updates on how to get involved with our next satellite mission
When is it launching?
NEUDOSE will be launching on February 19th, 2023, via a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket and we'll be hosting a launch viewing party closer to the date! However, before it launches, the satellite will have to be inspected and inserted into a special deployer that is provided by the CSA. A few of our student members will be visiting the CSA next week to hand over the satellite and perform the final integration checks.
Here is a sneak peek of the NEUDOSE satellite and the Science Instrument!
Written on 30 September 2022 .
On Friday, 30th September, we commemorate the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, and Orange Shirt Day. Various events have been organized in honour of this day at McMaster and in the community. While campus remains open, no classes have been scheduled.
New Book Explores United Nations Global Goals
Professor and Faculty of Science Research Chair Allison Williams has co-edited a new book that explores the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
Geography, Health and Sustainability: Gender Matters Globally provides a range of geographical and geospatial insights from a variety of disciplinary and country-specific perspectives, to better understand gender and sustainable development.
The collection brings attention to the centrality of geography and gender in reaching the the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) or Global Goals. The SDGs are a collection of 17 interlinked global goals designed to be a blueprint to achieve a better and more sustainable future for all. The SDGs were established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015 with the aim of being achieved by 2030. Much of the research taking place at McMaster is directly tied to the 17 goals.
The edited book collection, in particular, brings to light SDG 5: Achieve Gender Equality and Empower All Women and Girls, which is argued as being central to the achievement of all other goals. Goal 5 is made up of 9 targets, including Target 5.4: Value unpaid care and promote shared domestic responsibilities. This target is aligned with Allison's larger CIHR/SSHRC Partnership Grant, which examines carer-friendly workplaces.
Allison, a social geographer and Faculty of Science Research Chair with the School of Earth, Environment & Society, co-edited Geography, Health and Sustainability with Professor Issac Luginaah from the University of Western Ontario.
5 Questions with Mike Waddington
Looking to roll out or revamp a recognition program for your team in 2022? Mike Waddington introduced the Nobel Peat Awards 12 years ago to recognize early career researchers in his McMaster Ecohydrology Lab and also raise their profile with international researchers. Mike, a Professor with the School of Earth, Environment & Society and the Canada Research Chair in Ecohydrology, offers advice on how to recognize and raise the profile of your team.
What inspired you to launch the Nobel Peat Prizes?
It started out as a fun pun and it just built from there. Members of the McMaster Ecohydrology Lab started conducting research on peatlands in the Nobel, Ontario area in 2010. I thought it was a pity that the best and most exciting science in peat and peatlands wasn't being recognized in some way and so the Nobel Peat Prizes were born. Each year, members of the McMaster Ecohydrology lab review, discuss and critique many top papers and we then rank them and choose a winner. We've taken the "paper reading club" from lab meetings to the next level. Two years ago, I added an additional prize for peatland science outreach and community engagement. I donate a dollar for every giga-tonne of carbon stored in northern peatlands (500 Gt C) to the winner. The Peatland Early Career Researchers Action Team has won the award back-to-back and they've used their prize money to support science communication. peatland community outreach and equity, diversity and inclusion initiatives.
Why's recognition important?
Peatlands are the world's largest natural terrestrial carbon store and the best carbon storage technology that exists. These ecosystems are critical for mitigating the effects of climate change and they punch way above their weight so I figured the science being done in these ecosystems should be recognized in its own unique way. Early career researchers and scientists from diverse backgrounds don't always get the recognition they deserve and we wanted to start to change that. It is our lab's way of thanking the science community for their awesome work but I want to be clear this has also become a great way for early career researchers in the MAC Ecohydrology Lab to network with some top international scientists.
What do the awards recognize?
All things peat and peatland science which includes hydrology, ecology, biogeochemistry, restoration ecology, biometeorology, wildfire science and more. It is more about the recognition of diverse and novel science of peat and peatlands than about traditionally high-impact papers. In a nutshell, the awards celebrate the best "research for peat's sake".
What's the response been like from recipients and the research community?
At first not many people knew about the awards and it was just a fun lab thing to discuss at our annual lab retreat. But after we started tweeting about the awards, it kind of grew from there. Over the years I've been introduced at conferences as being the principal investigator in the lab that awards the Nobel Peat Prize, I've had people tell me how honoured they were to be nominated or win the award. Last year, the journal of the winning paper even got in on the fun and tweeted "We're honored to have published our first laureate of the #NobelPeatPrize!". So, the traction really seems to have been growing over the years.
What advice would you give to other principal investigators who are interested in introducing a recognition program in their labs?
Go for it! Make it more about the early career research paper and science review process and recognizing the science from a diverse suite of authors. In this world of multiple publication, citations, h-index, etc. metrics I think the last thing scientists need is another traditional award. Instead, the Nobel Peat Prize has been a fun way to take the lab meeting paper review club to the next level. In a way the networking that the Nobel Peat Prize provides has been a way for the international peatland science community to recognize the awesome science being done here by early career researchers in the McMaster Ecohydrology Lab and visa versa.

Al-Jazeera says bureau chief detained by Sudanese forces
AP , Sunday 14 Nov 2021
The Qatar-based satellite news network Al-Jazeera said Sunday its bureau chief in Sudan was detained by security forces. The network said on Twitter that Sudanese forces raided the home of Al-Musallami al-Kabbashi.
People gather with Sudanese national flagas as they protest against the military coup in Sudan, in Street 60 in the east of capital Khartoum on November 13, 2021.AFP
The development comes a day after security forces fired live ammunition and tear gas to disperse protesters denouncing the military's tightening grip on the country. At least five people were killed and several were wounded, according to activists.
Al-Jazeera did not elaborate on al-Kabbashi's detention and Sudanese officials could not be immediately reached for comment.
Thousands of pro-democracy protesters took to the streets across Sudan on Saturday to rally against the military coup last month. The takeover has drawn international criticism and massive protests in the streets of the capital of Khartoum and elsewhere in the country.
The killings Saturday took place in Khartoum and its twin city of Omdurman, and the dead included four killed by gunshots and one who died from a tear gas canister, according to the Sudan Doctors Committee. Several other protesters were wounded, including from gunshots, it said.
The rallies, called by the pro-democracy movement, came two days after coup leader Gen. Abdel-Fattah Burhan reappointed himself head of the Sovereign Council, Sudan's interim governing body. Thursday's move angered the pro-democracy alliance and frustrated the United States and other countries that have urged the generals to reverse their coup.
The Sudanese military seized power Oct. 25, dissolving the transitional government and arresting dozens of officials and politicians. The takeover upended a fragile planned transition to democratic rule, more than two years after a popular uprising forced the removal of longtime autocrat Omar al-Bashir and his Islamist government.

In the past year and a half, choosing the right foods has been one of the most important aspects of my life. I strive to live a nutritionally balanced lifestyle that allows for a percentage of both normalcy and fun.
In the past few weeks though, all of my ideas of "the right things" have been jumbled up into a confused mess.
I've abandoned my "normal" eating habits for the last two weeks and have been attempting Paleo.
I have been surprised to see that in the two weeks since cutting dairy, my face has definitely cleared up a significant amount. Like, enough that I'm continuing beyond my original trial time.
If you've ever stepped foot in a Crossfit box, one of the aspects of nutrition they preach is Paleo. They say that to see results, you should use it. That it's the best way of living a healthy lifestyle. That there should be no other way.
In many ways, I don't/didn't understand this philosophy. In fact, when I first started Crossfit last month, I was totally against changing my normal diet and becoming Paleo. I eat clean and that's all that matters.
The more I started to do research though, many of the philosophies began to make sense and I decided to try eliminating dairy for the sole purpose of clearing up my skin. While I was already cutting some of my favorite foods, I decided to just try getting rid of all the other things too–all grains, sugar, flour and legumes.
In order to make a more educated decision about Paleo before I sprung into it fully, I read a book about it. In this book, the author suggests you live your Paleo lifestyle at an 85/15 percentage. Three meals a week can be non-Paleo if you choose, while everything else falls into the limits.
I found this to be an interesting idea. This author, who wrote an entire book about why you should follow Paleo is suggesting "cheat days", telling you that eating an ice cream cone is okay or having rice on that sushi roll is fine.
To me, this made perfect sense. This is how I live my life normally: if I want something, I will eat it. Maybe not every day nor will I eat an entire cake if my mind tells me to but I am certainly entitled to have a little something fun.
No matter what "diet" you are choosing to follow, I believe one of the most important aspects is not to feel restricted. Eating is nourishing, yes, but choosing what foods to put in your body should also be a treat and your body rewards you when fed right.
There are times when going out with friends that someone suggests dessert. One of the worst feelings is sitting there rejecting it because you can't eat it. This exact scenario happened to me the other day, which is why I realized some things needed to be changed.
Food is about trying new things and enjoying each and every bite that is going into your mouth. Allow yourself to have a treat now and then, or even every day if you're so inclined. Whether you follow a "diet" or not, the most important thing is being healthy and happy–and no one can be happy when turning down dessert every single time.
My favorite treat is ice cream. What's yours?

Bloomberg Admits Terminal Snooping
By Amy Chozick
Reporters at Bloomberg News were trained to use a function on the company's financial data terminals that allowed them to view subscribers' contact information and, in some cases, monitor login activity in order to advance news coverage, more than half a dozen former employees said.
More than 315,000 Bloomberg subscribers worldwide use the terminals for instant market news, trading information and communication. Reporters at Bloomberg News, a separate division from the terminal business, were nonetheless told to use the terminals to get an edge in the competitive world of financial journalism where every second counts, according to these people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because of the company's strict nondisclosure agreements.
The company acknowledged that at least one reporter had gained access to information on Goldman Sachs after the bank complained to the company last month. On Sunday, Ty Trippet, a Bloomberg spokesman, said that "reporters would not have been trained to improperly use any client data."
Matthew Winkler, editor in chief of Bloomberg News, underscored that the practice was at one time commonplace. In an editorial published on Bloomberg View late Sunday night, he said the practice of allowing reporters access to limited subscriber information dated back to the inception of the news arm of the giant financial information company founded by Michael R. Bloomberg.
"The recent complaints relate to practices that are almost as old as Bloomberg News," Mr. Winkler said. "Some reporters have used the so-called terminal to obtain, as The Washington Post reported, 'mundane' facts such as logon information."
It was a striking admission from the man who wrote "The Bloomberg Way: A Guide for Reporters and Editors," considered among the quintessential handbooks on ethical business reporting.

In his editorial, Mr. Winkler apologized for the practices that had taken place in the newsroom for decades. "Our clients are right," he said. "Our reporters should not have access to any data considered proprietary. I am sorry they did. The error is inexcusable."
Bloomberg's more than 2,400 journalists go through hours of compulsory training on how to use the superfast data-splicing terminals, and several former employees said that training included informal tips on how to use a function called UUID to locate sources who were also subscribers.
The sheer amount of data available on the terminals created a dynamic in the Bloomberg newsroom in which some reporters favored breaking news over strict subscriber confidentiality, former reporters said.
"There was always a discussion in the newsroom of how to use the terminals to break news," said one former Bloomberg journalist. "That's where it gets nuanced because I'm sure that in encouraging people to break news, Matt did not mean in this way," this person added, referring to Mr. Winkler.
On Friday, Mr. Winkler reminded reporters of the company's policy that prohibits journalists from discussing nonpublic Bloomberg documents and proprietary information about the company and its clients in their reporting. Last month, he contacted Goldman Sachs to apologize after the bank had complained about the reporting technique.
Bloomberg reporters also are accused of monitoring JPMorgan Chase executives' login information last summer, when the bank suffered a multibillion-dollar trading loss, according to people briefed on the situation. The bank never formally complained to Bloomberg representatives about the practice.
The Federal Reserve and Treasury Department are also investigating whether reporters tracked employees. Bloomberg terminals sit in the highest echelons of power — including central banks, rival news organizations, Congress and even the Vatican.
Daniel L. Doctoroff, chief executive of Bloomberg L.P., said that making limited customer data available to reporters was a "mistake" and that it would not happen again. The company said the functions that led to the controversy had been disabled in the newsroom last month. The company also appointed a senior executive to the newly created role of client data compliance officer. (Mr. Bloomberg stepped back from the company's day-to-day operations when he became mayor of New York.)
Amy Chozick of The New York Times and Tom Lowry of CNBC Digital discuss on CNBC that reporters for Bloomberg News used the company's terminals to monitor subscribers' use.
Bloomberg executives have not denied that they knew some reporters turned to the terminals to monitor when subscribers, who are mostly traders and finance executives, had logged on. On less frequent occasions, reporters also monitored chats between those subscribers and customer service representatives. Reporters could not see a subscriber's specific securities, trades or which news articles they had read.
Mr. Winkler did not expand on who may have been affected. He said the practices were a legacy left over from when reporters were considered part of the sales operation. Nearly 85 percent of the company's $7.9 billion in 2012 revenue came from its terminal business.
The news operation was assembled in the 1990s primarily as a way to sell more terminals. Reporters regularly accompanied sales representatives to sell subscribers on the wonders of the terminal, the desktop computers that provide a constant stream of headlines and data and sit upon many traders' desks.
The company has said the close relationship between journalists and the sales team meant there was a reason to allow reporters access to limited subscriber data to help with customer service and to customize news to subscribers' needs.
The UUID function at the center of the current controversy provided background on an individual subscriber, including contact information, and when the subscriber had last logged on. An internal Bloomberg review conducted after Goldman Sachs complained last month that a reporter had inquired about a partner's employment status after tracking the executive on UUID, revealed that "several hundred" reporters had used the technique. Mr. Trippet, the company spokesman, said no reporters had been fired.
In 2011, Erik Schatzker, a host of Bloomberg Television's "Market Makers" show, said on the broadcast that he had used a terminal subscriber's data to report on a finance executive. The episode set off concerns inside the newsroom.
After Mr. Schatzker made the remarks, which were first reported by BuzzFeed on Saturday, Bloomberg conducted an internal review. Executives thought the terminal functions that allowed reporters to see subscriber data had been disabled, said one person briefed on the review.
On Friday, Mr. Doctoroff also tried to ease subscribers' concerns. "Reporters only have access to the same customer relationship data available to our clients," he said, adding, "Client trust is our highest priority."

Spotlight On: Jacqueline Nicholls, Bold Jewish Artist
The feminist artist confronts misogyny in ancient texts through the traditional Jewish art of paper cuts Read More
By Jillian Scheinfeld / July 10, 2013
"The Ladies Guild Collection is a series of paper-cuts that combine rabbinic misogyny with sexualized images of women, all on a nice paper doily."
That's the introduction to artist Jacqueline Nicholls' paper-cuts series, The Ladies Guild Collection, which focuses on misogynist rabbinic texts and their rigid depiction of women's roles in Jewish life. Nicholls, now 42, grew up in an Orthodox home and was often angered by the representation of females in traditional Jewish texts—scenarios that were at times mirrored in her everyday life.
Nicholls' interpretation of and frustration with specific Talmudic texts are portrayed through the mediums of embroidery, corsetry, drawings, and print, depending on the text she has chosen to analyze. Besides being a full-time artist and mother, she also teaches adult Jewish education, where she continues to question societal norms and open a dialogue for those around her.
I'm interested to know about your Jewish background and how you've mastered the texts so well.
I grew up in a very traditional Orthodox home and I went to a mainstream day school which wasn't Jewish. But I grew up shomer Shabbat and observing kashrut, and then after I completed my degree I studied at Nishmat, which is where I fell in love with Jewish learning. What I gained most from Nishmat, which is a traditional women's yeshiva in Jerusalem (a very unusual place; I went there the second year it was open which added to the excitement of being there) was direct engagement with textual learning—learning the skills but also having the sense that it's your own personal responsibility to engage with these texts yourself and not be reliant on a teacher or rabbi to translate and interpret, but instead to come up with your own readings and understandings and develop your own relationship. I think that was very formative. I was about 20 or 21. It was a very serious, high-level textual study.
Were you always artistic? Did art and exploring Jewish texts become a natural marriage for you?
I was always drawing as kid. My family was always drawing as well, so I was involved in making things. Now I don't have an issue speaking in front of people, but as a child I wasn't so confident speaking my mind, so drawing was a way to communicate. We grew up very observant of all the holidays, but, when I was five or six, my mother allowed me to draw on Shabbat, because I was very upset that I wasn't allowed to draw, and she was upset that I hated Shabbat because of that, so she let me. When I was older I began to better understand what Shabbat was about, but looking back now I think it's really interesting that my mother did that.
It's really nice she did that. You may have had different views about Judaism, or at least about Shabbat, if she hadn't.
Yes. I also think it took a while as an adult to really feel that I had permission to call myself an artist and say, 'Yes, I am an artist.' And yes, the works that I'm doing in terms of this engagement with Jewish texts and ideas is a legitimate thing to make art about. It's not Judaica, it's not decorative, and it's not always about making things beautiful. It's about challenging, questioning and exploring to make art.
You also teach adult Jewish education. What topics do you cover?
I teach a couple of things: I teach Tanach, the Hebrew Bible. I also teach some other Jewish programs like Jewish law, but I mainly teach Tanach.
There's a lot of anger in your work about Jewish textual depiction of women. How do your projects reflect the relationship between men and women in Judaism?
I don't think it was one particular moment growing up of, 'Gosh, it would be so much easier to do this if I was a boy,' but it's little things, and those little things all add up. That's what my series of paper cuts is all about. It's taking these lines that were written in a particular time and context that still carry a certain weight today because they reflect attitudes that are still present. It's also not an attitude only within the Jewish community, treating woman as separate, and as objects.
It's the view that having the women's voice included in the discussion of halacha and how Jews should live is not valid. It's very much a discussion in which men participate and women are talked about. I started the series of paper cuts with a couple of things that made me very angry, and I felt I had to get them out into the open. Then more and more frustration kept coming out and my anger increased.
How do you think the depiction of women in texts affects men?
There are very misogynist texts. Women are the direct victims but it also harms men that women are being treated and talked about in this way. But men's roles in misogynist texts are also representative, like the fact that they can't take sexual responsibility for themselves, so women have to cover up. That's not a dignified way for men to be portrayed. I think it limits what a man can be and it keeps it fixed in a very rigid way. It's a very black and white; there's only male, and only female. It limits both of us and it harms everyone. The complexities of human life don't fit into any category.
Do you feel a change is imminent?
Yes. Has it been fast enough? No. The fact that, recently we had the Yeshivat Maharat graduating female Orthodox rabbis, that wasn't conceivable 20 years ago. It's hugely groundbreaking, but it's not a big deal that there are these knowledgeable women who learn to that level—it was groundbreaking that somebody gave them certification. What's also groundbreaking is the demand for them. These women have jobs, and there's a big demand among Orthodox communities who want female leadership.
I also think the democratization of traditional Jewish learning and text is progress. I'm sitting in London doing my Daf Yomi drawings, which include a page of Talmud a day, and I have the option to go online to share it or I can go on Twitter and have a conversation with people all over the world who are doing the same thing.
The ability to make connections has grown, and now we have easy access to these texts. I think the fact that we're able to have immediate access to conversation about texts and issues even though we're living in very different countries is very exciting.
How do you choose which art medium to use for each text?
I've used lots of different art forms, so when I was working with the misogynist texts, it felt right to use paper cuts. There's something very satisfying about taking a sharp knife to these words, but also you're left with a very stark black and white image which represents misogyny well.
I did a series of embroideries called Ghost and Shadows, based on various stories of women in the Talmud. They are anonymous women who aren't main characters, and have no names. They're fleeting but very haunting. I chose to use embroidery because it's a very feminist craft—you can hide something and put it four layers down so you have a sense that it's underneath the page, so it fits conceptually with that.
Do you find your audience is more male or female?
I think my work speaks to different people depending on what resonates with them and their own life experiences. I think some of the work speaks more readily to women, especially the Ladies Guild Collection because I think there's a recognition of, 'Oh yes, I've been really annoyed by that particular text, and now we're going to laugh at it together.' And in particular with the paper-cuts I try to have at least a bit of a sense of humor, although I do think they became angrier as that series went on. I don't know if it speaks more to men or women, I've had really interesting reactions from both.
I always include a summary about the text I'm working on for each piece, so people can familiarize themselves with the story. I'm always really intrigued by people who have had a very traditional upbringing, like those who come from a Yeshivish world who can instantly recognize things which may be quite subtle. I try to use different aspects of Jewish ritual life as vocabulary within my work. So whether or not you recognize that is how familiar you are with Jewish ritual life. Sometimes I need to point it out, but its always interesting when I don't have to translate and people just get it.

Q: JS is changing 2d-array values, might it be another function interfering? Short summary: I have written some code that fills up a 2-dimensional array. When I display this array, everything is perfect. Now I give this 2d-array as a parameter to a function. When I call the function inside of
document.getElementById('output').innerHTML = myFunction(int, array);

it shows exactly the right values. However, I don't want to display them, I want to further use them. As the function returns an array (one dimensional), I tried
var my_result_array = myFunction(int, array);

I have also tried push() and pre-defined arrays or accessing just single elements.
The thing is, as soon as I have the function called in my document, the array I am giving to the function as a parameter is changing! I took care that there are no similiar names, but I just can`t figure out, why it is always changing my parameter array, therefore destroying the calculation but working fine if I use it in the document.getElementbyId part.
Any suggestions?
Edit for more code:
I try to keep it short and explainatory. I am creating an empty array with a dimension given by mat_dimension_js
var berechnungs_array = new Array(mat_dimension_js);
    for (var i = 0; i < mat_dimension_js; i++){
        berechnungs_array[i] = new Array(mat_dimension_js);
    }

I then fill this array up with values. If I print the array, everything is fine, the values are where they belong. I then feed this array to myFunction()
Sorry for the mess, I have also tried it without creating an array A again.
I then try to grab the output of myFunction() as told above, but as soon as I do that, somehow the array I have given as a parameter changes.

A: Arrays in JavaScript are passed by reference, meaning that any changes you do to the array passed inside the function will also be saved in the actual array.
In addition, A = mat_array; does not create a copy of mat_array, but another pointer to it (meaning that both variables refer to the exact same array object internally).
To properly make a copy of a 1D array, calling .slice(0) should do the trick. However, for 2D arrays, you need to do this recursively.
See Javascript passing arrays to functions by value, leaving original array unaltered

What is the most efficient way to deep clone an object in JavaScript?

Below is an edited version of an article written by Joe Gagliardi, a graduate of Full Sail's Entertainment Business bachelor's program. Joe was the recipient of the Advanced Achievement Award for the August 2012 EBBS graduating class and winner of a Course Director Award for Professional Communication and Presentation.
Unlike most traditional colleges, Full Sail University operates on a unique schedule. Every month we're each handed a new schedule with a new set of classes, instructors, and class hours. Sometimes we luck out and manage to have classes in the same general vicinity, but other times the classrooms can vary between different buildings, even from day to day.
Because the locations change so often, it's easy to get lost if you don't study the school maps. (Printable maps of all the buildings are posted online.) Save the images of the maps to your phone just in case there is a last-minute switch-up in scheduling. Take it upon yourself to explore the campus on your own or with a group of classmates to better familiarize yourself with your surroundings. To view campus maps, click here.
Meet with instructors before class starts.
Because of the nature of the entertainment industry, Full Sail students learn how to "sell" themselves by creating their own personal brand. Networking is one of the most important concepts to pick up during your time here, and making a good first impression with anyone - including professors - is a step in the right direction.
This doesn't mean hunting them down during their office hours or trying to find out what they can do to improve your career. Just send an email and make an appointment to meet in person for a few minutes whenever it is convenient for them. This small and simple task shows that you care about your experience here at Full Sail - and that you're willing to network and go the extra mile for your career.
Failure for attendance is real. Don't let it happen to you.
When you started at Full Sail, you were warned that 90% overall attendance is required for all students, with no exceptions. You knew that coming here would be different than attending a traditional college, where some professors do not bother taking attendance because of large class sizes. At Full Sail, however, course directors (and your peers) will notice if you miss class.
Repeated absences not only affect your professional reputation, but can also affect your GPS score. You can retake a class free of charge the first time around if you fail with a low grade; however, if you fail for attendance reasons, you'll have to pay to retake the class immediately. This also adds time to your program, which may or may not affect your graduation date. Furthermore, if it becomes an issue to the point where you've missed more than the 10% allowance for your program, you'll be subject to review and could wind up not being allowed to graduate.
With that said, just be careful. Instructors are usually willing to work with you if they're given a proper heads-up about an excused absence.
Be here for the right reasons.
With all the degree programs and activities to choose from on campus, you'll find that many people are here for different reasons. Not every person you meet throughout this journey wants the exact same experience as you, and you could wind up working with people whose learning or working styles differ from yours.
The sooner you learn to adjust to working with people who don't share your goals, the better. Make sure you take control of your own education, and don't allow yourself to be negatively influenced by others. You will wind up walking across the stage with a greater sense of fulfillment and integrity at graduation if you stay true to yourself and to your personal motivations.
Be selective when choosing partners for group projects.
Be very selective when deciding whom you want to work with throughout your various classes. This sounds like such a simple concept, but I wish someone had told me this when I first came to Full Sail.
You attract certain friends because of your similar qualities, but studying with people at school who have similar habits could actually work to your disadvantage. Monitor your classmates during lectures, individual assignments, and class activities, and figure out which students will complement your learning style and help you in group projects. This will make for smoother sailing during your Full Sail journey.
The weather inside is frightful. Wear winter clothing to class.
Full Sail students learn quickly to bundle up before going to class, even when it's 95 degrees outside. At times you may think the school maintains a frigid temperature simply to cause you discomfort, but this is far from the truth. Remember that your new school is home to a great deal of advanced technology - more than can be found in many other educational settings, in fact - and that the low temperatures help keep our blessed gear from overheating.
Time is scarce; take advantage of every opportunity.
Here at Full Sail, we're all aware that we're getting ourselves into accelerated programs. Time is of the essence and we aren't exactly given a whole lot of it. So make the most of your time here, take every opportunity that arises, and jump without question. Don't overthink decisions or hesitate to do anything you know in your heart is right for you. You already got this far - now it's up to you to prove yourself and stand high above the rest. Network at every summit, join a bunch of clubs, and get involved in your school. You'll be glad you did.
During your time here, you'll go through a lot of classes in a short amount of time. You'll also interact with plenty of instructors, each with his or her own teaching style, many of whom have spent more time out in an industry than in a classroom. For this reason, it's a great idea to ask as many questions as possible. In some cases, your instructors can provide information far beyond the course curriculum, but you might never know if you don't ask. Instructors love it when students take a genuine interest in their fields, and seeking additional guidance can create some great connections and networking opportunities.

Home Apple iPhone If you have an iPhone 7, you got the wrong iPhone
If you have an iPhone 7, you got the wrong iPhone
Kamil Arli
According to the BGR, today marks exactly five months since Apple first released the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus.
Five months since Apple officially changed its iPhone strategy, reusing the same design on a non-"S" model smartphone for the first time ever. Gadget blogs had a field day with all the leaks ahead of Apple's launch, and many sites labeled the iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus "boring" because their appearance was so similar to the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6s. Well, those boring new iPhones went on to quickly become the fastest selling smartphones in the world, just as most of us knew they would.
I picked up both new iPhone models at launch, and I've had a current-generation iPhone in my pocket every day since then. Interestingly, however, it has become increasingly clear to me over that period that for the first time ever, there is a right iPhone to buy and a wrong iPhone.
APPLE WAS FAMOUSLY LATE TO THE GAME WHEN IT CAME TO BIG SCREEN SMARTPHONES
Apple was famously late to the game when it came to big-screen smartphones. Samsung's Galaxy Note smartphone first popularized the new "phablet" category back in 2011, but Apple didn't join the party until 2014 when it launched the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus. Over the course of those three years, company executives deflected questions about the possibility of big-screen iPhones for the most part, though on occasion, an exec would say that Apple would not release a significantly larger iPhone until it could do so without compromising the user experience.
Fast-forward to 2017, and it's the smaller of Apple's two flagship iPhones that makes all the compromises.
I have not historically been a fan of large smartphones. I recognized and appreciated their place in the market ever since I ate crow after my original Galaxy Note review back in 2012. People wanted phones with bigger screens, though I maintain that most people who use phones with large screens would far prefer using a device with a smaller overall footprint. In 2017, we'll begin to see that transition take place thanks to a shift toward "all-screen" designs.
I PERSONALLY HAVE DONE MY BEST TO AVOID PHABLETS OVER THE YEARS
But I digress. I personally have done my best to avoid phablets over the years. Because I use my phone so often with one hand, a gigantic phone like the Galaxy Note 5 or the iPhone 7 Plus is uncomfortable. The benefits of a device with a larger display have always been apparent to me, but there has never been enough to gain from a phablet to make me change my behavior and compromise.
Then, the iPhone 7 Plus came along.
I touched on this back in October when I wrote about switching from a smaller iPhone and using the iPhone 7 Plus for a month. Apple now sells several different iPhone models, but there is only one iPhone. The iPhone. The device that offers users the best and most complete experience Apple envisioned for smartphone users within the confines of current technological limitations. That iPhone is the iPhone 7 Plus.
First and foremost, the iPhone 7 Plus has a battery that can actually make it through a full day of use on a single charge. iOS 10 has so many great features, but a number of them are quite hard on the iPhone's battery. If you have an iPhone 7, battery life is something you have no choice but to be overly aware of. You can either compromise your software experience by disabling power-hungry features, or you can compromise your hardware experience by getting a battery case (while there are some decent iPhone 7 battery cases out there that are slim, any battery case will inherently add bulk).
WHEN IT COMES TO THE IPHONE 7 PLUS…
When it comes to the iPhone 7 Plus, on the other hand, most users don't ever have to think about battery life. Unless you're spending the day navigating all over your city and tethering with your laptop at the same time, the battery in the 7 Plus can easily carry you through a full, busy day. There's no need to worry about battery cases, portable chargers or disabling iOS 10 features like "Hey Siri." With the iPhone 7 Plus, you can just use the phone.
Next up is the 7 Plus display, which is so much better than the screen on the iPhone 7 that it's difficult to describe. The most glaringly obvious difference between the two phones is display size, but that's just the beginning.
Apple stuck with the same resolutions on this year's flagship iPhones — 720p for the iPhone 7 and 1080p for the iPhone 7 Plus. While the result is two phones that fall well short of Android rivals in terms of pixel density, the disparity is really only noticeable on the 4.7-inch iPhone 7 screen. Now, that's not to say it's a bad display, but graphics on the Full HD panel in the iPhone 7 Plus are significantly sharper than they are on the smaller flagship model. Colors seem a bit more vibrant as well, but that's likely a product of the improved image quality as opposed to actual color reproduction.
Now we come to the second most glaringly obvious difference between the iPhone 7 Plus and the smaller iPhone 7: The camera.
Both the iPhone 7 and the larger 7 Plus utilize the same rear-facing 12-megapixel Sony Exmor RS sensor, and both models include optical image stabilization (OIS). The 7 Plus, however, packs a second telephoto lens that serves two purposes. First, it enables a 2x optical zoom function — unlike digital zoom on other smartphones, this feature allows users to zoom in without degrading the photo at all. The second lens on the back of the iPhone 7 Plus also enables a feature Apple calls "Portrait Mode."
By capturing photos with both lenses simultaneously and analyzing data from the resulting images, the iPhone 7 Plus can create a blurred background effect similar to what you get when shooting portraits with a DSLR camera. All of the magic happens instantly behind the scenes, and the results are beautiful.
In the end, the iPhone 7 Plus is clearly the iPhone Apple wants in customers' hands. Yes, that's partially because Apple reportedly enjoys better margins with the Plus model and therefore makes more money on each unit sold. But it's also because the iPhone 7 Plus provides a much better overall user experience than the smaller iPhone 7. The only compromise with the iPhone 7 Plus is comfort, whereas the 4.7-inch flagship handset compromises several key areas of the iPhone experience.

A tough case opens a window onto the pain of untreated mental illness
Leslie Brown / November 23, 2016
The team that defended Aaron Ybarra included, from left, Rachel Dryden, Jeffery Spencer, and Ramona Brandes. Not pictured is Ryan Gray.
For more than two years, public defender Ramona Brandes and a team of support staff gave their all on behalf of a mentally ill client who killed a student at Seattle Pacific University and wounded two others in a crime that captured international attention.
No one questioned Aaron Ybarra's mental illness. The question before the jury was much narrower and more subjective: Did he have the ability to understand right from wrong when he pulled the trigger on June 5, 2014? In other words, was he insane as defined by criminal statutes?
Ramona and her team did not win. Jurors said he was clearly mentally ill, but when they handed down their verdict on Nov. 16, they found him guilty of first-degree murder and other charges. Even so, Ramona and her team knows they presented a full picture of this young man and showed him for who he is – a decent person with a supportive family, a long history of mental illness, and an unfortunate lack of support from various systems that might have helped him.
After the jury convicted him, some jurors wept. Others said they wanted to hug his mother.
"He had a long history of struggling with his mental capacity and mental illness, a history that was very well documented. We worked hard to put together a story that walked the jury through his life in his shoes," said Ramona, who works for the Northwest Defenders Division in the King County Department of Public Defense. "But as with any case, there are always facts beyond change that are sometimes more than what a jury can overcome. That was the situation in this case."
Rachel Dryden, the mitigation specialist on the case, said she was struck by Aaron Ybarra – a man who was both very nice and clearly ill. "He was a very compelling person to be advocating for."
It was also a learning experience for members of the team. Despite public perception, a defense of not guilty by reason of insanity is rare in criminal cases. Ramona, who has handled more than a dozen murder cases and has worked in public defense for nearly 20 years, said this was the first insanity case she has taken to trial.
Jeffery Spencer, the paralegal who worked with Ramona, called it "an amazing learning experience." When one uses a not-guilty-by-insanity argument, he noted, "the defense is putting on the case; the burden of proof was on us." All told, the defense called about 12 witnesses, a large number in a case where the fact pattern was not in dispute.
The case thrust Ramona and her team into the spotlight. Initially, media interest in the case was intense, and she held several impromptu press conferences in the courthouse hallways. One news photo shows her nearly crushed by a phalanx of reporters hoisting cameras and microphones. Over time, the press interest lessened, but the case remained a compelling one – in part, she noted, "because it's rare to have a shooting at a school with a surviving perpetrator who is willing to talk about it openly."
All told, Aaron spent two days on the witness stand, testifying about his mental condition on the day of the shooting. He talked about the voices he heard; how he tried to stop the voices by using alcohol; how he failed to fully comprehend what he was doing. By talking openly, Ramona said, "Mr. Ybarra has educated a lot of people about the need to look at the big picture and how we address mental illness in our society. If there's any good that comes out of it, this is it."
Though the case was a challenging one, Ramona said she had great support from her colleagues at the Northwest Defenders Division and from her core team members – Rachel, Jeffery, and Ryan Gray, an investigator. Others in the office helped as well, including Josh Malle, a transcriptionist; a group that ensured Aaron had the clothes he needed for trial – Mickayla Rogers, John Day, Jeff Young, Elizabeth Noonan, and Veronica Gomes; and attorney Miranda Maurmann, who assisted during voir dire.
"More so than ever before, I have been impressed with the way this office supports one another and will do whatever it takes for our clients," she said in an email to the division after the trial. "Although this week is difficult, my heart is warmed when I think of so many of you who have helped me these past two months."

Changes in store over the summer
The silly season is underway in England now after the league season came to an end on Sunday. There's still one game to play for Liverpool, and there's a World Cup this summer too, but there is still too much time on the hands of newspaper journalists. They have too much time and too little to tell. So off we go with the annual full-on transfer rumour spectacular.
We will try and keep you up-to-date with anything we hear, excluding certain sources we'd never trust. A lot of the rumours wash over us for one reason or other – if you think we should pay attention to any particular rumour contact us
We're pretty certain that Fabio Aurelio will be joining us this summer. He's a defender, usually a left-back, Brazilian, 26 years old and currently playing for Valencia. He will be joining on a "Bosman" free transfer once his current deal officially expires later this summer.
Aurelio is going to be one of a number of new faces at the club by the time the new season kicks off. The Liverpool Echo's Chris Bascombe believes there will be seven in all. We already know about Chilean left-winger Mark Gonzalez (assuming he finally gets a work permit or European passport) and 20-year-old Argentinean defender Gabriel Paletta. As if there aren't enough left-sided players about there is talk that former captain Glenn Hysen's son Tobias – a left-sided midfielder – has been catching the eye of the Reds scouts. Valued at somewhere between one and two million pounds, the Djurgarden star would be signed as a squad player with the potential to improve his game under the Anfield coaching staff.
Two possible options for the right side of midfield are being bandied about. One is Shaun Wright-Phillips, who has been one of the most expensive squad players in English football since his move to Chelsea. He was already said to be unhappy and looking for a way out, but his exclusion from the England World Cup squad has made the whispers grow louder. Talk of a £14million fee is probably guess-work, but Chelsea won't want to lose too much on him if they are to sell him to one of their main rivals. It's one of those football "secrets" that Liverpool were interested in buying him when Chelsea came along, and that his people practically begged Liverpool to buy him, but the Reds weren't able or willing to match Chelsea's offer. The other option for that side of the pitch would certainly be more affordable, and that is Birmingham winger Jermaine Pennant. There is no doubting the player's talents, but his troubled past is something that may cause some reluctance from Anfield. The troubles seem to be behind him now, and with Birmingham relegated now they will be looking to offload some of their wage bill. That relegation cost Liverpool around £1.5m in what would have been the next payment from the Heskey transfer, but the rumour will not go away that a deal was already agreed between the Reds and Birmingham before their fate was known. Pennant is said to have been a childhood Liverpool supporter, but we've heard that before.
Guillem Balague, Spanish journalist, Liverpool supporter and friend of Rafael Benítez hinted in a recent interview with The Liverpool Way fanzine that Rafa was looking for two new full-backs. Steve Finnan and John Arne Riise have done a great job this season of course, but Rafa likes to have cover. Aurelio looks set to be the cover for the left-back position, but has Rafa got someone up his sleeve for the right? Other rumours are rife that Jan Kromkamp is unhappy at Anfield and wants to go back to Holland. This of course leads to rumours of part-exchange deals with Dutch players.
Which other Liverpool players are to go out remains to be seen. Chris Kirkland knows he isn't wanted by Rafa and now has to wait and see what offers come up for him, but Jerzy Dudek won't want another season on the bench. Scott Carson has earned himself a place in the England standby squad after his performances on loan with Sheffield Wednesday this season, but if Dudek does leave Carson will be needed back at Anfield next season as understudy to Pepe Reina.
Up front Robbie Fowler has just secured a new 12-month deal, but what is going to happen to Cisse and Morientes? Both players claim they want to stay, but this remains to be seen.
Expect a full summer of stories and rumours, and expect an extra burst of these as the stars of this summer's World Cup emerge, before the final surge as the weeks tick down to the August 31st deadline. All this will start in earnest after this Saturday's FA Cup final.

Russian Federation: Russian Entities Face Deoffshorisation From 1 January
by Marina Perianou
Given the close ties between the two countries, our Cyprus experts have produced this overview of Russia's impending tax code amendments.
Russia's "deoffshorisation" law - which introduces amendments to the Tax Code of the Russian Federation - comes into force from 1 January 2015. It should be noted, however, that the legislation still remains a work in progress and further amendments will likely be required during the course of 2015 to provide further clarifications on its provisions.
In a nutshell, deoffshorisation introduces four principal changes to Russian tax landscape; the basics of these new "concepts" are briefly covered below.
Controlled Foreign Companies (CFC)
The law establishes a mechanism for Russia to tax the income of CFCs where such companies do not distribute their income to the benefit of Russian controlling entities. As per the law adopted, the definition of a CFC refers to companies which are controlled by individuals or legal entities that are Russian tax residents.
Control over the CFC shall be determined both by the ability of the controlling persons to exert influence on the decisions of the CFC with regards to the distribution of its profits and by their level of participation in the authorised capital of the company if more than 25%.
Also, in the case where the overall share of Russian tax residents in the company is more that 50%, then the level of participation in the company in order to determine a controlling person shall be reduced to 10%. It is important to note that the transition period which was previously set from 1 January 2015 until the end of 2017 has now been reduced. As such, a level of participation of 50% shall apply for the purposes of determining a controlling person up to the end of the year 2016.
The law also provides for a number of exceptions from taxation of certain categories of CFCs, including non-profit organisations, banks and insurance institutions, and companies from the Eurasian Economic Union.
The beneficial owner according to the law is a person who has an actual right to income or authority to dispose the income in question. If deemed to be a tax resident of Russia, foreign companies directly or indirectly controlled by Russian beneficial owners (individuals or companies) will be subject to tax on profits in Russia.
The introduction of the concept of beneficial ownership aims to reduce abuse of double tax treaties by structures and back-to-back arrangements circumventing Russian withholding tax.
Tax residency
The law extends the principle of effective management and control to foreign entities such that, if it is determined that a foreign entity is effectively managed and controlled from Russia, it will become subject to Russian corporate income tax. The place of effective management will be governed by specific rules set in Russian domestic law rather than international practice and principles.
The effective management and control is established by a combination of various criteria, with much weight given to record-keeping and record management in determining the place of residence.
Real estate rich
Russian capital gains tax will apply to the disposal of shares in foreign companies if more than a half of value of such shares is attributed to real estate in Russia. It is worth noting that Russia has been working with other jurisdictions since 2007 to amend its double tax treaties and thus acquire the right to tax such disposals and prevent circumvention of Russian taxation simply by using two-tier offshore structures.
Such relevant amendments to the Russia-Cyprus double tax treaty will come into effect in 2017.
In view of the new law coming into force next year, foreign structures must prepare for changes without delay. Consider an analysis of management processes and an assessment of Russian tax residency risks, as well as development of related risk management strategies.
Inevitably a significant number of Russian-held international corporate groups will undergo revision of current structures to ensure compliance with the law; these will likely include structuring of joint ventures with Russian partners as well.
While it is very Russia-heavy, deoffshorisation will impact the Cyprus business community, too, due to the strong business ties between the two countries.

Bring half the stock to the boil with half the peas and simmer for 5 minutes. Place in a food processor, blend well. Add the remaining stock to this puree to give a pouring consistency. Heat half the butter and the olive oil in a heavy-based pan. Crush the garlic and add it to the pan. Add the spring onion and stir. Add the rice and stir for 2 minutes to coat it with oil. Add enough pea stock to cover the rice. Cook gently, stirring all the time. Add more pea stock as it is absorbed into the rice.
After approximately 10 minutes, add the remaining peas, some more stock and salt and pepper. Cook for a further 5 minutes stirring well. Throw in the rocket and stir until the leaves have wilted. Add the remaining butter, the Parmesan and the parsley.
Adjust the seasoning and serve piled into bowls with more Parmesan if required.

Character Overview
Biographical Background
Unknown date
Porter (formerly)
Booking clerk (formerly)
Stationmaster (formerly)
Mr Kevin Volley (1903-) was a former North Western Railway employee.
Kevin Volley was born in Ffarquhar in 1903, and joined the NWR as a lad (junior porter) at Knapford in 1915, at the age of 12. He was promoted to Porter there in 1921, and became Booking Clerk at Elsbridge in 1927. He was appointed Stationmaster at Ffarquhar in 1936, Knapford in 1956 and Cronk in 1960. He retired in 1968, at the age of 65, and now lives at Ffarquhar, a sprightly old gentleman with a fund of reminiscence about early days on the Ffarquhar Branch Line. During his time at Ffarquhar, two Coffee Pots were still in service, which he would later describe as "magnificent machines".
On 23rd August 1983, after receiving several questions, he wrote a letter to the Thin Clergyman for his gazette about Sodor in order to help clear up misconceptions and inaccuracies about Ffarquhar in the Clergyman's books, which had vexed the people of the town for some time. In 1987, he was the oldest surviving NWR employee.

It is fully adjustable so you can select the weights you desire to lift. It is quick and easy to adjust the weights as they can be slid on to the bar and secured into place by the spin lock collars. Each spin lock collar contains a rubber grommet which further enhances the security of the weight plate on the bar decreasing its chance of unnecessary movement.
The JLL Dumbbell Set boasts the classic 'Hammertone' look. Each weight plate is clearly identified by a raised number that will not wear down over time. Dumbbells are great tools for strengthening and toning a wide variety of muscles including the biceps, triceps, deltoids, latissimus dorsi, quads, glutes, hamstrings, calves and core abdominals.
