How can I put my logo on the Thank You receipt?
If I use the custom Thank You reply. How do i add my logo or a picture on the response that the sener will receive when they send in a jot form?
If at the time of creating the Thank you page, you choose the Custom URL, you should have inserted your image in the target page previously. Custom URL is a page you create in the way you prefer to show as Thank You page. And you will use the link of that page to redirect to it at the time the user submit your form.
1. After choosing the Thank You message option Click on Image icon.
2. Enter the Image URL and finally click on Insert.
And you can do something much better with the tools the composer gives you.
So that I can crop a picture that stays in a ratio for my thank you message , what is the approx.. pixel width of the Thank You page?
I assume the area for size is in pixels.
What is the different in the Border and Vertical and Horizontal spaces?
Try 650x550px for your image. But if that image still big on your thank you message, you can manually change the dimension on it. Please take a look at the image bellow.
I tried the second way you suggested whereby I just insert a image. Apparently I am doing something wrong as I can't get an image to be displayed when a Jot Form is sent.
I put in the URL where the image is located, the alignment (Text on Bottom) and the size of the image (620x250). Do I need to fill in Image Description, Border, Vertical Space and Horizontal Space in order to get the image displayed?
Also I see where the image will be displayed in an outline. How do you center the image from side to side?
Can you please share to us URL of the FORM that you are referring for further assistance?
When I put this above URL in my web browser I get my error page, which I set up as my home page.
I have four jot form forms I want to add this picture to.
Hi, I have Just Inserted this image in the Thank You Page Of Your Contact Form "Contact Us Link" for you.
I Followed the Steps Provided my colleague pinoytech to insert the image.
Please check and Let Us know if you have any issue.
It now works. It appears that you left off the html at the end of the URL. Did you have to do anything else?
Hi John! Glad to hear it is working now. An address with ".html" file extension is used when you are accessing an entire html page. As you only want the image to appear on the Thank You page, my colleague simply used the URL of the image itself, not the entire page where the image is located. ".jpg.html" is also not really a valid extension.
Thanks for the information. I added the picture in the other 3 Jot Forms. I tested them by going to my website and sending each one as if I was a customer using them. My website has 2 of them as links and 2 of them as forms on 2 different web pages. The reply Thank You for the links looks and work great when I click on submit, but the 2 forms on my web pages do not come up when I click on submit. All Thank You replies are set-up the same.
I checked all your forms and the image on thank you message was properly added. I see no issues with it. May we know the website URL where you've placed your forms so we can check it here? The cause might be due to the conflicting codes on your page. I would suggest to test it first with iframe embed code. How to get Iframe Embed Code. This might help, simple re-embed your form using this code.
Sorry it has taken me so long to get back, as I was out of town.
Thanks for the information . I how have the picture I want on the Thank You reply.
But here is my last problem I am trying to solve with the Thank You reply. On my website where I have a direct link to Jot Form when a customer fill out the form and clicks on Submit they get a pop-up Thank you reply.
Where I have a Jot Form on one of website page and the customer fills it out the Thank You reply replaces the area on the page where the form was located. The location of the Jot Form on my web page is near the bottom. When the Thank You reply appears on the page, the page then goes back to the top and unless the customer scrolls back down they do not see the Thank You reply. I could put the form at the top, but the first part of the page contains important information in filling out the form.
If you are unclear of what I am saying go to my web page www.foldyreporting.com. You will see on almost every page a link for SCHEDULE A DEPOSITION and CONTACT US. You will also see a separate page for Schedule a deposition and Contact Us. Use the Contact Us link and Contact Us page (as it is less to fill out) under comments just put Test from Jot Form. You will see what I am referring to when you submit the link verse the form on the page.
Questions. Is there any way to get the Thank You reply when a form is filled out on a web page to just be a separate pop-up like when using a the form from the link? Also is there any way to have the Thank You reply go to the customers e-mail that fill out the form?
I think you can auto pop-up your form Thank You page by using a Lightbox page.
If you put the URL of the lighbox page into the form's Custom URL Thank You page, then it can probably pop-up like a modal window of sort(it means it is on top of the current page) after the form is submitted.
Also is there any way to have the Thank You reply go to the customers e-mail that fill out the form?
We will attend to your new question as soon as we can.

Chapter 123 No.123
The WeatherMaker Hearts Desire By Lady Lilium Characters: 4958
'Are you sure you are well enough to be walking around?' the healer asked Farrell sternly.
He simply waved the man away without properly answering.
After that, he decided to sit outside the healers on a bench in the sun, sitting sullenly on his own and watching as others went about their business around him. Lost in his thoughts, he was far away.
Hours later he was visited by Annabel.
'There you are. I couldn't find you inside.'
Farrell blinked in surprise as he straightened up. He had been in a trance, just staring off into nothing.
'Oh…what…?'
'I have some bad news' she told him seriously. 'The prince has returned.'
'Isn't that good news?'
'He says the king knows about us and that he's sending a small army here to kill us.'
'Oh' Farrell replied flatly.
'And we can't leave yet' Annabel added, answering the question before Farrell had a chance to ask it. 'Adam has yet to return with the other men we've gathered and we cannot leave without him. It would surely mean his death, and the death of all the men we've worked so hard to gather. '
'So…'
'We risk waiting for him' Annabel concluded. 'The king should be here in days…'
Moments earlier
The horse rode into the camp fast, followed by a host of men about thirty in number. The rider who led them called out to herald his arrival, his state in panic.
In no time at all many had gathered around him.
'What's going on here?' Shawn hollered as he strode forwards towards the disturbance. And then he saw the prince.
'Tristan' Shawn said in surprise. 'You're back. What's wrong?'
Tristan wheeled his horse to face him, breathing heavily, pulling off his large brimmed hat and wig as he did so, and wiping off the make-up around his eyes. Because of who he was, when he set out to recruit men he always did so in disguise. Most would not spare him a second glance, dressed as he was in the bright travelling clothes of a gypsy.
'We're in danger' Tristan gasped. 'You have to listen to me.'
Behind Shawn Annabel stepped to one side slowly to get a better look at one of the riders in the group behind Tristan. His eyes were white and he stared off into nothing. Blind Annabel thought.
'The king…' Tristan breathed. 'My father…he knows about us…he's sending men here to kill us all.'
'Oh shit' Woodworm spoke from the crowd.
Barrel began to cackle beside him.
'Does he know about you' Carrot asked the prince.
'Thank the gods no. Not yet anyw
"You're my wife in name only, on paper only. My heart and love will never be yours."
Edward made it clear to Daisy that she was nothing to him. They were both victims of family greed -- the marriage was arranged for them.
Six years passed. She remained quiet, gaining a reputation in the army as a tough-as-nails colonel. When she walked into his life again, Edward fell in love with this woman...
MoboReader, bring tons of novels with you.
ay…not to my knowledge...' He spoke louder now, addressing the others. 'We have to leave. It isn't safe for us here.'
We can't go yet' Flute Stick told him.
'Why not?'
'We're still waiting for Adam to return with the rest of the men we gathered across the water. If we go now…..we cannot leave him to his death…and the men…'
'When are your father's men supposed to get here?' Shawn asked.
'Two days maybe…three at most' Tristan uttered, 'but we could still leave.'
'If the king finds the men we gathered here after we are gone' Woodworm said, 'then he will kill all of them. They are clearly foreigners and clearly prisoners. He wouldn't want them here. Who would?'
'But…'
The prisoners are clearly branded' Shawn explained showing the naked flesh of his forearm to the prince. 'He would kill all of them and any associated with them. You should know that.'
Beside him Annabel had exposed her own forearm also. She and Shawn both shared the same mark, a burn in the skin. The twisted symbol branded them to all as prisoners and worthy only of a quick death if found out. Carrot and Flute Stick shared the same mark also.
'It was not easy getting those men' Shawn explained. 'Sacrifices were made. If Annabel or I were to be seen with these marks we would be arrested and killed. We are putting our lives at risk to get these men…we cannot leave them now….'
Tristan looked as if he were about to say something, but the words seemed caught in his throat.
'What will happen' Carrot asked the prince, 'if the king found you? Would he kill you?'
'I don't know' Tristan shook his head. 'I can't be sure…'
'We cannot go' Shawn said firmly. 'Too much is at stake here.'
'We can stay for at least a day' Annabel said lowering her arm. 'Can't we?'
'I….' Tristan began. 'I have to think.'
He dismounted his horse and strode away, brushing his blonde hair back in frustration.
It was decided later that they would wait. In that time, Tristan could not settle.
He did not sleep, he did not rest, nor did he eat. He simply stood at the harbour, staring out to sea, willing for the ship to return. And when he was not staring out to sea, he was staring at the hills behind him, where his father's men would surely come from.
Chapter Thirty Six
The Wait
'Get out you stupid bastard!'
Farrell stepped to the side to avoid the vase that was hurled at him.
'Ramana!' he bellowed back. 'Control yourself. This is my house!'

General Hospital Spoilers: Alexis is Looking for Curtis — But Why?
General HospitalSpoilers
By Dani Lasher Last updated Dec 7, 2022
General Hospital spoilers reveals Alexis Davis (Nancy Lee Grahn) has found herself in a bit of a pickle, as usual. She didn't listen to what she was told, and now she's got a mess to clean up. Alexis knows she's already put herself in harm's way by provoking The Hook. The letter that the killer sent to Alexis was intended to shut her up.
That's not how Alexis operates though. Jordan Ashford (Tanisha Harper) knew that, and she bribed Alexis into sitting tight and not publishing the letter The Hook sent her in exchange for her promise that The Invader would be given an exclusive on The Hook at a later date. Well, Alexis grew tired of waiting for that interview with Jordan. She's publishing the letter, and she's ready to take whatever comes after as a result of it. Still, she knows she's going to need some help — and that's where she hopes Curtis Ashford (Donnell Turner) will come in.
General Hospital Spoilers: Britt is Holding Out on Terry, and She Knows It
General Hospital Spoilers — Can Curtis Help?
What does Alexis need Curtis' help with? It's most likely a call for help with the investigation into The Hook. Curtis has experience with this kind of thing, and he's worked with law enforcement as well. He understands the ins and outs of the law and how the evidence must be collected and reported to the PCPD. Of course, Curtis used to be a private investigator, so it makes sense that he would be a great choice for her to reach out to. However, Alexis knows another private eye — her own daughter, Sam McCall (Kelly Monaco). Why wouldn't she call on her?
GH Spoilers Tease Sam Can't Help?
There are a couple of reasons Alexis might not want to bother Sam with this task. She's overwhelmed with cases, so much so that she's had to give some of them over to Felicia Scorpio (Kristina Wagner). She's also pretty busy with her personal life these days creating a home with Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna).
Of course, Dante is working on The Hook case, and he and Alexis have already butt heads a few times over evidence and how much Alexis has published that probably shouldn't have been. So Sam probably doesn't want to be in the middle of this particular adventure Alexis is taking against Jordan's advice, and to be honest, she wouldn't ask to be.
General Hospital Spoilers — Someone Else is On Board
Alexis and Curtis won't be the only two people working this case though. We can expect Alexis to continue cozying up to Gregory Chase (Gregory Harrison). He's come around to her point of view, although he's still cautious about what they might be getting into. Alexis is going to do this without or without his help; so she figures it's only best to have another person on board thinking through every step and helping her strategize. Will this dalliance with danger bring sparks for Gregory and Alexis? You'll have to keep coming back for more GH spoilers to find out

Northcliff Gets Final Key Federal Approval for Sisson Project
Priscila Barrera - July 10th, 2019
Initial capital costs to build the mine, processing facilities and primary and secondary infrastructure are forecast at US$579 million.
Canadian explorer Northcliff Resources (TSX:NCF) has received a final key federal approval for its Sisson tungsten-molybdenum project in New Brunswick, Canada.
The green light came after extensive consultation led by federal agencies with First Nations and the public. During the process, designs for the placement of the tailings facility, the tailings technology to be used and the fish habitat compensation plan for the project were thoroughly reviewed.
"Completion of the Metal and Diamond Effluent Regulation Schedule 2 amendment represents an important milestone toward project development," said Northcliff President and CEO Chris Zahovskis.

Give me my free report!
Sisson hosts a 334.4 million tonne proven and probable mineral reserve containing 22.2 million metric tonne units of tungsten trioxide and 154.8 million pounds of molybdenum at a US$8.83 per tonne net smelter return cut off, as per a positive feasibility study published in 2013. Life of mine is set at 27 years.
Tungsten is mainly used in cement carbide, which in turn is used in the mining, oil and gas, automotive and aerospace sectors. Molybdenum is an important alloy in stainless steel.
"The outlook for tungsten remains robust for the mid to long term and new, western-based tungsten projects are needed to meet forecast demand growth," the company said.
Northcliff, which began work at Sisson nine years ago, has already received environmental impact assessment approvals from both the provincial and federal governments.
Mine construction is estimated to take two years, with initial capital costs to build the mine, processing facilities and primary and secondary infrastructure forecast at US$579 million, including a 15 percent contingency. A construction decision is expected to be made between 2019 and 2020.
The company is now focusing on securing construction and operating permits, offtake agreements and project financing. Northcliff is also looking to update Sisson's feasibility study this year.
On Wednesday (July 10), shares of Northcliff were up 7.69 percent, trading at C$0.70.

You are here: Home / draft / OHL season kickoff w/ Windsor GM Warren Rychel
OHL season kickoff w/ Windsor GM Warren Rychel
September 23, 2010 By John Hoven
Several of his former teammates will tell you, 'Warren Rychel' wasn't exactly the first name that came to mind when thinking of which players would turn into coaches or general managers after their days on the ice were over.
Yet, there's no arguing with the results.
The former Kings tough guy is coming off back-to-back championships at the helm of the Windsor Spitfires. He was voted the 2008-09 OHL Executive of the Year and appears as hungry as ever to continue winning. Some of his current peers even say he may just be the hardest working GM in the league.
So, how did a guy who once posted consecutive NHL seasons of 300-points in penalty minutes make the successful transition from enforcer to executive?
Prior to his Spitfires taking the ice tonight for the start of the new OHL season we went looking for answers to that question and several others.
It's an exclusive interview with Warren Rychel…
MM: Five years prior to going to the Stanley Cup Finals in '93 with the Kings you were playing junior hockey in the OHL. It's 20 years later and you're a successful executive running a team in the league. Catch us up, how did you go from NHL tough guy to running the Spits?
WR: It was all good timing. When Wayne took interest in Phoenix, I joined up with him and Cliff Fletcher, Mike Barnett, Dave Draper, etc. in the scouting department. I learned a lot there that would eventually help me as a GM in the OHL. Being based out of Windsor – my hometown and my wife's hometown – allowed me to see how much of a big business the OHL had become. I saw what was happening in London with the Hunter brothers and the Ciccarelli's in Sarnia. We had a chance to purchase our hometown team, which is basically a dream come true. It took a long time to put the deal together though, there were several years of negotiations.
Talk about Brian Kilrea for a moment. He was your coach when you played with the Ottawa 67s and now he's the GM there. What's it like to essentially be peers with a guy who was so influential in the early part of your career?
It's funny to be in a boardroom with him now and hacking things out. Actually, I just called him this morning, it's always nice to talk with him. He still commands respect, whether it's as a coach or a GM. He helped me out, he got me to Chicago as a free agent to start my career in the NHL. I signed my first pro deal there as an 18-year old and I owe a lot to him for that. It was fun playing under him and in the city of Ottawa. We have that special thing that a player and coach have, even to this day. Now with us kinda on opposite ends, as GMs against each other, the respect is still there. He's a great guy and a great icon of junior hockey.
How about Cam Fowler – he played for you last year and then entered the NHL Draft as one of the top rated defenseman. Were you surprised he fell so far down the board on draft day?
Yes. We were thinking four or five, maybe even three. But, sometimes things happen that way. He fell right into Anaheim's lap, so they got a great player. I know it doesn't bother Cam, he's a great young man – on and off the ice – and he was going to be successful wherever he went. Right now, I'm kinda worried he might not be back. I'd think it's 50-50 on what they're going to do with him.
You played two seasons in Anaheim, what have you told him about your time there?
The biggest thing is the fans, both in LA and Anaheim, they're awesome. It's a great place to play. One of the things I told him was that you work hard for two hours and when you're done it's always nice out, your bumps and bruises are not as heavy as they would be in the winter time. Along those lines, it's a great quality of living out in California. To play the game of hockey, the game you love, and to live there is a double whammy. It's special. I enjoyed my time with Anaheim and LA. I know he's loving life down there right now.
You guys are set to have Jack Campbell in net this year (2010 first round draft pick of the Dallas Stars). Describe what a special player he is and who would you compare him to?
I would kinda compare him to Marty Turco. He's really active in the net, he likes to get out and challenge and he likes to play pucks. But, what I really like about Jack is he's such a personable kid. He's always in a good mood and positive. A lot of people don't know, but he's a big kid too – he's 6'3″, almost 200 lbs. What blew me away in our training camp this year was how good of shape he was in. I think he was fifth overall out of 60 kids (in testing). He wants to be a pro. He's very level headed and works hard every day. I think the fans in Windsor, and the OHL for that matter, are going to be thrilled to see him play day in and day out in our league.
Is he another guy you worry about not having for very long?
That is the rule, if you're drafted out of the US program, you can play in the AHL. But, I think it's safe to say he'll be here this year. He's on his way back from the Dallas camp and should start in net for us (tonight). That might be a problem next year though, much like Jeremy Morin is a problem in Kitchener. So, that might be tough, but we'll deal with that when the time comes.
In the OHL Draft, some recent classes have been filled with a little controversy. What are your thoughts on players trying to manipulate the draft – is it a big problem and if so, what can be done about it?
I don't know, maybe it was before we came into the league four years ago. Now, the executive committee has put rules in place to protect all the teams. Basically, you can draft a player, even if you feel somebody else has a cooked deal with him or not, and then receive compensation if he doesn't report. Two of those players were there this year, one was my son and one was Nick Ebert.
He was moved for the trade value, plus a first round compensatory pick next year. So, I think the rules are there to prevent that from happening. But, a lot of teams in our league haven't used that rule to their advantage yet.
When you're scouting players, are those side deals something you worry about, do you sniff around quite a bit to flush out those sorts of things?
I don't really worry about it or sniff around. We've brought our franchise along to be one of the best in the Canadian Hockey League, both on and off the ice. Simply put, if a boy doesn't want to play for the Windsor Spitfires, then I'm not going to pursue it or lose sleep over it.
Back to the situation with your son Kerby…there was some controversy earlier this summer when Barrie took him at the draft, only to later trade him. So, perhaps the Colts were looking to take advantage of the compensation rule you just mentioned. Regardless, were you ever close to acquiring him in a trade last month and any thoughts on him ending up in Mississauga?
Well, first off, Kerby was born in Los Angeles during the '94 lockout. So, he's an LA boy first and foremost. (he laughs) Seriously though, a deal with Barrie wasn't going to happen. We have our differences at this time, partly because of the situation in the Finals and the situation at the draft. I was aware there were a couple of other teams trying to do it though.
Dave Cameron called me and let me know that he was close to it and I have no problem letting him go play for Dave. He'll be the World Juniors coach this year (for Team Canada) and has a good set-up there in St. Mike's. It's good for my son to get away from home too. He's excited to go there and sorta make his own way in the hockey world So, everything kinda worked out I guess.
[note: Kerby is NHL draft eligible in 2013. We'll have to keep an eye on him.]
What did it mean to you to win the OHL Executive of the Year Award after the '09 season? Was it a form of gratification or maybe approval that you belong?
Yes, that was really nice. Especially after the lumps we took our first year. Bob (Boughner) was behind the bench and I think we won only 18 games. We battled hard though, really working at it with long hours. A lot of credit doesn't just go to me though. That award also goes to Terry Doran and the scouting staff. It goes to the coaches and the city, who supported us immensely – especially in a time of economic hardship here in Windsor, with the automotive industry.
It's great though to get recognized by your peers in the league, the 19 governors and general managers. So, to win that award was pretty exciting.
The success on the ice has also been met with some unfortunate off ice incidents. Just last month there was another situation with a Spits player at a local bar. That's three in the last year or so. Is there an issue and if so, what are you doing about it?
We were obviously concerned. The last two incidents were not during hockey season and the boys were of age to be at those establishments. There's not much you can control during the off-season. But, Zach (Kassian) has had to deal with that himself and he's still dealing with it. That was a total non-hockey thing.
We've talked to the guys too. Now that we have a younger team, we've banned kids from downtown. Basically, you have to watch where you go. Everyone wants a shot at you, some kid in a bar wants to make a name or start an argument just for the sake of starting an argument. Our players have to have better judgement and we've addressed that. We may not have curfews and what not in the summer, but they still have to remember they're representing the Spitfires.
Shed some light on bringing European players over to North America to play junior hockey. You guys recently landed a big one in Russian phenom Alexander Khokhlachev, right?
Yes, Khokhlachev is really exciting. He kinda has a Mogilny-like ability to change gears. He just ripped up exhibition with 13 points in five games. I think he's going to be a first round pick in the NHL next summer.
High end offense and he's really a nice kid. He lived at my place for two weeks and he was a great kid, laughing and always in a good mood. His English is already very good and he's going to be a good player for somebody in the NHL.
He's playing with Tom Kuhnhackl too, another European player for us. His dad Erich was a legendary German player, scoring almost 800 goals. He's really skilled as well and he'll be a big part of our offense this season.
[note: The article linked above (about Khoklachev), says he led the Russian team at a U-17 tournament with five goals and 13 points in six games and was named to the all-star team. They also say some scouts compare him to Sergei Fedorov. He is currently projected as a top-10 pick in the 2011 NHL Draft.]
You've also had a few other imports…
We've been very lucky and I think it's helped the success of our team. Look at Richard Panik, a Tampa bay Lightning draft pick. When he didn't come over we traded him for Philipp Grubauer, who was basically our Memorial Cup winning goalie.
We had Andrei Loktionov the year before too. We traded a player to Owen Sound and then drafted him. He was huge for us, especially when we lost a player to the Islanders. Andrei came right in and ran the half wall on the power play. He took right over and was a big part of us winning the Memorial Cup in 2009. He's going to be a heck of a player for LA.
Players often talk about how difficult it is to defend a championship. As an executive, how hard was it to win the second Cup last year?
That was a remarkable run last year, to come back and do it again. A lot of players had played a lot of hockey, like 100 games for both years – between the OHL, World Junior camps, the World Junior Championships, NHL camps in the summer and so on. It's a tribute to the coaching staff how they kept it together, they kept their hunger. We had to deal with a little adversity too, being down to Kitchener 0-3 in the playoffs. But, I think we won our last 12 games going away, so it was a remarkable group.
I think it was one of the best junior teams of all time. We had NHL guys on our fourth line. We could score goals, we could fight, we had skill, we could play it anyway you wanted. The kids were great.
The Spitfires open play tonight against the against the Plymouth Whalers.
Both teams will be a little lighter compared to the last time they met. Windsor's Taylor Hall was drafted first overall by the Edmonton Oilers and Plymouth's Tyler Seguin went second to the Boston Bruins. They're both with their respective NHL clubs right now, trying to make the jump from training camp to the pros.
Meanwhile, back home, the Spits will have the requisite on-ice ceremony to celebrate last year's Memorial Cup Championship prior to the puck dropping on their new season.
Then, it's back to business. Can they become the first team in league history to three-peat?

Philadelphus × purpureomaculatus is a flowering plant in the family Hydrangeaceae, of garden origin. It is a hybrid between Philadelphus × lemoinei and P. mexicanus 'Rose Syringa'. Growing to  tall by  broad, it is a deciduous shrub with broadly oval leaves up to  long, and single, cup-shaped flowers in summer (June in the Northern Hemisphere). The flowers, which are strongly fragrant, are pure white with prominent purple markings near the centre; hence the Latin specific epithet purpureomaculatus, literally "purple spotted".

Valued in the garden as a summer-flowering shrub, the cultivars 'Sybille' and 'Belle Etoile' have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.

History Of The English Bulldog
By abbie Last updated Jan 11, 2019
The English bulldog has a long and storied history. Several theories regarding the breed's origin have been introduced. Some are plausible and supported by documentation; some are easily dismissed. Most experts agree that the bulldog is a cross between a mastiff and a pug. However, some experts contend that the bulldog is a descendant of the Alaunt (a molosser breed that is now extinct).
Though some speculate that the English bulldog's roots lie in twelfth-century Asia, the breed's first mention in English society was in the early 1600s. In a letter to a fellow Englishman, a man named Prestwich Eaton made the distinction between mastiffs and bulldogs. Many enthusiasts consider this letter to be the first piece of documentation that signals a clear separation of the two breeds.
Bull Baiting: Commerce And Sport
English bulldogs are today known for their calm demeanor. But, this was not the case centuries ago. The breed was regularly used to control bulls and oxen in preparation for slaughter. It's widely accepted that the breed was named expressly for this reason. Known as bull baiting, the practice quickly evolved from a method to tenderize the bull before slaughter into a blood sport.
Bull baiting involved tying a bull to a stake in the ground and allowing a bulldog to pin the beast. Despite its comparatively small stature, bulldogs were adept at the sport. They were trained to remain low to the ground (thus, avoiding the bull's horns) and grabbing the bull's nose to render it powerless. While the blood sport attracted many spectators and betting was common, it was outlawed by Parliament in 1835.
Dog Fighting Takes Flight
In response to Parliament's prohibition of bull baiting, English society began organizing dog fights. It was around this time when the purebred bulldog started to disappear. In the hopes of producing a dog with a competitive fighting edge, breeders began breeding them with terriers. This crossbreed produced a fighting dog that blended the power and pain tolerance of the bulldog with the agility of the terrier. In short, the effort to create a superior fighting dog was successful. However, the trend against blood sports was gaining traction, and soon, interest in raising bulldogs waned.
Bulldog Clubs Emerge
Noting that the bulldog breed was in decline due to a lack of public interest in raising them, a small and dedicated group of enthusiasts formed the Bulldog Club in 1964. Its objective was twofold: to promote the breed and to bring loyal owners together. That club only lasted a few years but had created a small surge of interest in the breed. In 1875, a new club (also called the Bulldog Club) was formed. Its chief interest was keeping the English bulldog breed pure from the Spanish breed. Members created a Standard by which Bulldogs are still judged today.
The Bulldog In Contemporary Society
While the breed's past is steeped in blood and controversy, bulldogs are now primarily kept as pets. The aggressive combatant that stunned owners and spectators by taking on bulls several times its size has been completely removed from the breed. Today, the only thing that gives this breed cause to become aggressive is an apparent threat to its owner and family. Predictably calm, and relentlessly loyal and protective, the English bulldog has evolved from a ferocious fighter to a kind-hearted member of the family.

Carbapenem resistance expressed by Gram-negative bacilli isolated from a cohort of Libyan patients
Published abstract on Antimicrob Resist Infect Control Journal (119.5Kb)
Poster (1.683Mb)
Shallouf, Mohamed
Abrantes, Pedro Miguel dos Santos
Africa, Charlene W.J.
Background and objectives: Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) and other Gram-negative bacteria are among the most common pathogens responsible for both community and hospital acquired infection. The global spread of cephalosporinases in Enterobacteriaceae has led to the increased use of carbapenems resulting in the emergence and rapid spread of CRE. This has become an alarming public health concern, yet the condition in Libya remains unclear. The aim of this study was to obtain a better understanding of CRE strains prevalent in Libyan patients by investigating their phenotypic characteristics and antibiograms. Methods: Gram-negative bacterial species were collected from Misrata Central Hospital, Misrata Cancer Centre and Privet Pathology Laboratories. Clinical samples and swabs were obtained from hospitalised and non-hospitalised patients and from mechanical ventilation and suction machines. Patients who had received antibiotic therapy for at least three days prior to the study were excluded. The identification and characterization of the isolated species were achieved using the growth characteristics on MacConkey and blood agar, spot tests and API 20E or API 20NE biochemical testing systems. Screening for carbapenem resistance was performed using the disk diffusion method with carbapenem 10 μg and cephalosporin 30 μg disks and minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) determined using the Sensititre Gram-negative Xtra plate format (GNX2F). All strains demonstrating resistance or reduced susceptibility to one of the four carbapenems were subjected to carbapenememase activity detection using the RAPIDEC CARBA NP test, Modified Hodge test and carbapenem inactivation methods. Results: A total of one hundred and forty isolates representing fourteen bacterial species were isolated from 140 non-duplicated specimens. Clinical specimens included urine samples (96/140, 68.57%), sputum (15/140, 10.71%), surgical wound swabs (18/140, 12.85%), foot swabs from diabetes mellitus (DM) patients (6/140, 4.29%), ear swabs (3/140, 2.14%) and wound swabs (2/140, 1.43%). Thirty-four (24.29%) isolates demonstrated resistance to at least one of the four carbapenems with Klebsiella pneumoniae representing 73.53% (25 isolates) of all carbapenem resistant species, followed by 8.82% for Pseudomonas aeruginosa (3 isolates), 5.88% for both Proteus mirabilis (2 isolates) and Escherichia coli (2 isolates) and 2.94% for both Citrobacter koseri (1 isolate) and Rahnella aquatilis (1 isolate). The other isolates were either susceptible or cephalosporinase producers. Conclusion: This study has revealed the high rate of carbapenem resistance amongst Libyan patients and emphasizes the crucial need for accurate screening, identification and susceptibility testing to prevent further spread of nosocomial and community acquired resistance. This may be achieved through the establishment of antibiotic stewardship programmes along with firm infection control practices.

Manaton
"MANATON, or Manadon, is a small village, on an eminence, near the rocky hills and the sources of the West Teign, or Bovey river, on the eastern side of Dartmoor, 3½ miles S.W. of Moreton-Hampstead. Its parish contains 429 souls, and 6393 acres of land, including the hamlets of Freeland and Water, and more than 2000 acres of commons and wastes, amid some of the wildest scenery of Dartmoor Forest. Hountor, a stupendous group of rocks, appears like ruined turrets and broken pinnacles, and as seen from different points of view, assumes an endless variety of fantastic figures. . . . The Earl of Devon owns a great part of the parish, and has a rabbit warren of 600 acres here. The rest belongs to the French, Nosworthy, Barham, and Bryant families, and other freeholders; and on the south side of the parish are the Haytor Rock Granite works. . . . The Church (St. Winifred,) is a fine old structure, in the early perpendicular style, with an embattled tower and four bells. It was much injured by lightning on Dec. 13th, 1779. The rectory, valued in K.B. at £13. 12s. 8½d., is in the patronage of the Rev. Wm. Carwithen, D.D., and incumbency of the Rev. W.P. Wood, . . . " [From White's Devonshire Directory (1850)]

London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine establishes "Takeda Chair in Global Child Health"
Tags: | May 20th, 2019
Members of Penta were delighted to be invited to attend the recent reception to celebrate the announcement of the Takeda Chair in Global Child Health at London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine (LSHTM). The memorable occasion took place at the Japanese Embassy in London on 16th May.
More than five million children under the age of five die each year, half of whom die within the neonatal period (birth to one month old), with the next largest number being due to childhood infections such as pneumonia and diarrhea. While the vast majority of these deaths are preventable, key research gaps remain.
The Takeda Chair in Global Child Health enables a 'rising star' to bridge research, public policy, and healthcare delivery by developing thought leadership in child survival and health through innovative research, including vaccines, neonatal care, under-nutrition, and infection diagnostics and treatments. Takeda's donation will enable LSHTM to recruit a world-class researcher and educator to join its innovative academic team as the first holder of the Takeda Chair in Global Child Health. This post will play a critical role in consolidating LSHTM's child health research across more than 100 countries, accelerating change for one of the biggest global health challenges, and further strengthening LSHTM's position as a leader in maternal, child and adolescent health.
The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine is a world-leading centre for research and postgraduate education in public and global health, with 4,500 students and more than 3,000 staff working in over 100 countries.
Takeda Pharmaceutical Company Limited is a global, values-based, R&D-driven biopharmaceutical leader headquartered in Japan, committed to bringing Better Health and a Brighter Future to patients by translating science into highly-innovative medicines.

The Ice bucket is a great way to raise money for those who have Lou Gehrig's Disease. It is also a great way to show the awareness of this disease. If you look at it, it isn't really that crazy, it would be a great way to beat the heat and raise money as well. I would do it if I could.
This really is a good cause.Like it says it is fun and willingly good.I like the fact that we do this not just for the sake and fun of us, but for organizations for charities to help the peple that need it.I dont really like how it spreads there are people that always get chose and get tired of it but that is just them.
I think its cool that people are doing this. I'm lucky i dont have any friends because i dont feel like throwing ice water on my head. But it is for a good cause though and its so kewl everyones doing it. It pretty much became a trend because of YouTubers. I just might do it because i'm not gonna get nominated so ill just do it for fun and not yell at people for nominating me.
to give money to charity.Its fun to do and you get to pour water on yourself for a good uses.if u do you will have to pay.
I would do this for people who are dealing with ALS I have been picked by friend to this.. This for a grate cause.
I think that it is fun and that you do it for a cure makes it even more fun. That is super cool how they did that.
I think it is because its a challenge and people like to do that stuff. also people want to raise awareness and the way that they can would be doing something crazy and getting other people to do it. The other opinion would be to donate money and some people do both but others just want to get the word out by doing something crazy and nominating others to do it as well.
I think crazy stunts like this motivate people because they want to have fun contributing to charities and not just by giving the charities money.
It motivate them because it cathches their attention and it also passes on . Its actually kinda fun to do and it aslo gets a lot of money for the people that needs it . I tink its a great way to raise money over social media .


That AvantGuard list just keeps getting longer and longer.
Once they get big enough, they'll probably try to over throw the forum. I'm on to your little plan and I won't let it happen.
Though so, but why is this celebrated?
On topic: You did a very nice job Sara!
We are celebrating Sara's retirement with the members & letting them say thank-you to a very helpful Lady who along with Pip set up the skins section here & helped many over the years as a mod. She will continue to do so I'm sure but can now relax & not feel the pressure active staff do to help.
A good reason. Knowing you made a difference feels wonderful.
I have learned more from participating in this group than from any computer course or book--heck, I didn't even know how to post an image when I started out. It just goes to show--you can teach an old(er) dog new tricks!
Don't worry, I'll still be around, so you all behave!
Sara, you've been one of the best admins and helpers I've come across on the internets. Thank's for all that you've done to aid in the Avant Browser users problems and bugs.
Sara, you were one of the first staff members I interacted with, when I was helping another user with a skin back when I started getting involved with Avant. I appreciate all the help you were to me and to everyone else before and since then. Thank you for all your hard work!
Bit late from me to the good lady.
I don`t get in here as often as i`d like.
Relax Sara and congrats on your AvantGuard status.
Why she had to retire ? No...that's not it.
Is Sara keeping the AvantGuard...well, Avant ?? No...that's not it.
Can we draw straws on who gets her virtual parking space on the Information Highway ??

A temporada de furacões no Atlântico de 1997 foi um evento no ciclo anual de formação de ciclones tropicais. A temporada começou em 1 de junho e terminou em 30 de novembro de 1997. Estas datas delimitam convencionalmente o período de cada ano quando a maioria dos ciclones tropicais tende a se formar na bacia do Atlântico.
A atividade da temporada de furacões no Atlântico de 1997 ficou abaixo da média, com um total de 8 tempestades dotadas de nome e três furacões, sendo que um destes, o furacão Erika, atingiu a intensidade igual ou superior a um furacão de categoria 3 na escala de furacões de Saffir-Simpson.

A temporada começou efetivamente já no seu primeiro dia oficial, com a formação de uma tempestade subtropical sem nome. No entanto, de modo geral, a atividade ciclônica da temporada foi baixa. Apenas Bill, Danny e Erika se tornaram furacões. Danny também foi o único ciclone tropical a atingir a costa na temporada, atingindo os Estados Unidos em meados de julho, causando 11 fatalidades.

Nomes das tempestades
Os nomes abaixo foram usados para dar nomes às tempestades que se formaram no Atlântico Norte em 1997. Esta é a mesma lista usada na temporada de 1991, exceto por Bill, que substituiu Bob. Nenhum nome foi retirado e a lista foi a mesma usada na temporada de 2003.

Q: Unable to access label defined inside loop I am trying to refer the process to a defined label but i got this error..

No such label 'IL_A44' within the scope of the goto statement.

My C# code is as :
for (i = 0; i < objAttendanceLog.LogRecords.Count; i++)
{
    if (condition1)
    {
        for (int j = i + 1; j < objAttendanceLog.LogRecords.Count - 1; j++)
        {
            if (condition2)
            {
                IL_A44:
                while (j < objAttendanceLog.LogRecords.Count - 1)
                {
                    if (condition3)
                    {
                        j--;
                        break;
                    }
                    j++;
                }
                if (j == objAttendanceLog.LogRecords.Count)
                {
                    j--;
                }
                num3 = data,
                i = j;
                goto IL_AD8;
            }
        }
        goto IL_A44;
    }
    IL_AD8:;
}

A: if the two 'condition' are the same things, the following code should do the same thing:
int j=0;
for (i = 0; i < objAttendanceLog.LogRecords.Count; i++)
{
    if (condition)
    {
        for (j = i + 1; j < objAttendanceLog.LogRecords.Count - 1; j++)
        {
            if (condition)
            {

                while (j < objAttendanceLog.LogRecords.Count - 1)
                {
                    if (condition)
                    {
                        j--;
                        break;
                    }
                    j++;
                }
                if (j == objAttendanceLog.LogRecords.Count)
                {
                    j--;
                }
                num3 = data,
                i = j;
                goto IL_AD8;
            }
        }

    }
    else{
         while (j < objAttendanceLog.LogRecords.Count - 1)
                {
                    if (condition)
                    {
                        j--;
                        break;
                    }

I've searched the forum, but can't find that this has been discussed before.
The simple way for me to rebalance our AA without incurring a taxable event would be to reallocate within my and DWs Roth IRAs and my TSP (401k). The end result would be that a high percentage of the more volatile portion of our AA (Intl, Small-cap, Mid-Cap) would be in the IRAs and TSP (401k). Is there a problem with doing this? Perhaps it depends on our age/time to retire due to the increased risk/volatility?
Something bothers me about the IRAs/TSP being comprised mainly of our higher risk/volatility funds, but I'm unable to conceptualize why it might matter. Perhaps the taxable and tax-exempt/deffered accounts should each hold an approximation of the AA. Any thoughts that could help us develop a good rebalancing plan?
There is no problem having your "more volatile" assets allocated to the tax deferred accounts, per se. However, doing so is not the most efficient use of these accounts. Ideally, you want to stuff your IRAs (and the like) full of income producing assets (i.g. Bonds, REITs, etc). That way you maximize the benefit of the tax deferral (by converting currently taxable income into future income and allowing those before-tax earnings to compound). Most of the returns from small-cap & mid-cap stocks are going to come from capital gains, which are already tax deferred, so you won't get much benefit from putting them in the tax advantaged accounts. In a worst case you may actually be doing harm because your IRA withdrawals are treated as ordinary income, which is currently taxed at a higher rate then capital gains.
The easy (and not terribly helpful) answer is that you should try to put as much of your bond portfolio in the IRA as possible. But you may not want to do that if it means you have to take capital gains to reallocate (the whole point, after all, is to minimize the tax leakage of your portfolio). Take a look at your current tax situation, the tax basis of each of your holdings, familiarize yourself with the current capital gains rates (they are going down again to as low as zero), and figure out how you can stick as many bonds in the IRA as tax efficiently as possible.
The common advice is to put as much of your fixed income asset allocation into your tax deferred accounts as possible and put your equities in your taxable account. But on the other hand the common advice during early retirement is to withdraw from your fixed income to provide for living expenses when equities are down. Not sure how that works when your FI allocation is locked up in your tax deferred accounts.
Since most of us will be withdrawing from our taxable accounts in the early years the issues get a bit confusing. If we are going to keep several years in cash equivalents, they need to be in taxable accounts to avoid higher tax rates. Also, if we don't attempt some sort of sensible allocation within the taxable accounts, we could easily see it disproportionately adversely affected in a market downturn. It isn't clear to me if that is worse (forces you to turn to turn to the IRAs sooner) than re-balancing within a taxable account.
... to reallocate within my and DWs Roth IRAs and my TSP (401k).
I cannot specifically address your comment because we do not have Roth IRAs. Since your Roths are tax-free and your TSP is tax-deferred, I wonder if you have any taxable accounts where I think it is more critical to do some tax management.
In the 1990's we noticed that our taxable mutual funds were putting out about 10% of their value in distributions each year. With federal and state income taxes, those distributions were taxed at between 20% and 30%, so the taxes were like a 2% drag on our annual return. When we realized this, we began to choose our taxable investments with an eye to minimizing those annual distributions.
For example, no more bond funds in our taxable side of mutual funds. No REIT funds in our taxable accounts. Individual stocks and funds with low turnover numbers such as ETFs and index funds were in our taxable accounts. Even the small cap etf IWM is found in our taxable account. Funds with high turnovers are found in our 401(k)s.
But it's no sin to have low turnover funds in your Roth or 401(k) either. I also do not think it's a problem to have a CD in your IRA if that's what you need for asset allocation.
If we are going to keep several years in cash equivalents, they need to be in taxable accounts to avoid higher tax rates.
Sorry, I do not understand that statement. The highest tax rates will be in incurred by your taxable accounts. If you are in a very high marginal income tax bracket, then tax-free municipal bonds can make sense.
There is no problem having your "more volatile" assets allocated to the tax deferred accounts, per se. However, doing so is not the most efficient use of these accounts. Ideally, you want to stuff your IRAs (and the like) full of income producing assets (i.g. Bonds, REITs, etc).
I'm starting to get it I think. However, as a future military pensioner we've been considering the pension our "fixed income" portion of our portolio (while we're still relatively young at least--late 30s). With the exception of a rental property, we're primarily in equities. If I understand correctly, the thing to consider would be future tax liability of fund positions in the withdrawal phase of RE, not necessarily during the growth phase. Correct?
I am retiring at age 52 in a couple years. I intend to hold seven years of expenses in cash (CDs, Treasuries and/or Bond Funds) in my taxable account. This will minimize the chance I will have to tap equities in a down market or to incur the early withdrawal penalties if I was forced to tap my IRAs before 59. My plan is not to have to touch my tax deferred accounts any earlier then age 60 or later. Storing all your cash/FI allocation in a tax deferred accounts is really not a realistic plan for those of us who are going to RE without a pension.
Open to alternative suggestions for those in my boat.
For argument's sake, let's say you're an early retiree with both taxable and tax deferred accounts, and let's say that you've chosen to invest the taxable account is tax efficient equities.
When you start taking withdrawals from the taxable account, from the equities, couldn't you just sell the equities in the taxable account (paying the LT cap gains or losses) and "rebuy" the equities you just sold in the tax deferred account by transferring money from bonds to equities?
Would this solve the problem for an early retiree?
This is a timely thread about which I am still am somewhat confused myself. Perhaps some of our more experienced members can comment with illustrative specifics or point to a good resource on the subject (i.e. tax efficient allocation/rebalancing).
The simple way for me to rebalance our AA without incurring a taxable event would be to reallocate within my and DWs Roth IRAs and my TSP (401k).
The end result would be that a high percentage of the more volatile portion of our AA (Intl, Small-cap, Mid-Cap) would be in the IRAs and TSP (401k).
not just the highest rate gains. So, while the traditional advice on holding income funds in Roth may indeed produce the greatest percentage savings based on tax rates for income versus cap gains, for example, over a long holding period one could very easily realize sufficiently greater capital gains in one of those volatile classes you refer to to more than offest the better tax rate savings gained from income funds (i.e. while a lower potential cap gains tax rate may be involved, there may also be sufficiently greater gains to make the Roth the long term winner). So, I don't see any problem with holding asset classes with high potential for long term cap gains growth in the Roth, assuming you're not holding significant and less tax efficient assets in taxable accounts.
One simple tip from other threads that can help with tax efficient rebalancing in taxable accounts is to have all dividends and realized gains redirected into a money market fund, from which one can then make deposits to underweighted asset clasees without selling shares of the originating funds (as might need to be the case if the dividends/gains were auto-reinvested into the originating funds).
If I understand correctly, the thing to consider would be future tax liability of fund positions in the withdrawal phase of RE, not necessarily during the growth phase. Correct?
Seems that tax consequences at deposit, withdrawal *and* within the account during accumulation/growth all are factors. For example, an active MF account that realizes significant dividends and capital gains would hands down do much better in a Roth than in either the 401K or taxable account, due to tax free accumulation and withdrawal. This is once the money is committed, but there may also be considerations going in as to whether the tax deferral of 401K is better than the after tax deposit (but tax free growth/withdrawal) of Roth.
The same fund in a 401K, on the other hand, would benefit from tax free compounding during accumulation/growth, but at withdrawal, gains that would have been taxed along the way at dividend or cap gains rates are instead taxed at income rates (which may very likely be higher). Also, however, a larger amount of money would have been compounding along the way due to the tax deferral (compared with taxable account).
Not sure if this helpful for anyone. Sorry for the ramble, but I'm also be interested in hearing the thoughts of others on any finer points we might be missing.
All good points, but I do not see how an early retiree can avoid selling equities in a down market without having adequate cash/FI allocations in their taxable account. If the cash/FI allocation is locked up in the tax deferred account, then you are going to be forced to sell equities in a down market to fund expenses, unless you want to pay early withdrawal penalties or commit to a 72t early withdrawal scheme.
I know I am repeating my self, but I have not seen any alternative to holding large amounts of cash in a taxable account during ER, if you are depending on your portfolio to fund expenses and not tap equities during a bear market.
Presumably you only going to use 4% of your assets in any given year. Also you are probably generating at least half that in the form of dividends. That leaves only a 2% shortfall to make up by selling equities. Big whoop. Your current portfolio went up 2% in January 2007 already. In a bear market, you can find 2% of your portfolio in equities that you want to sell, couldn't you? And you get to take the tax loss as well.
In other words, I don't see it as a sin to sell equities ... even in a dropping market.
Roth, to cover your equity allocation.
highest likely long-term gain into the Roth - probably foreign and smallcap stuff.
Thanks for pointing that out - not the same animal - so for Roth go for highest anticipated gains (considering potential tax savings where you have to choose between substantially equivalent prospects on return, albeit from differing types of income/gain), which may address OP's concern about high volatility stuff in Roth.
On the other hand, you will eventually pay taxes on the gains in the tax-deferred accounts, and as ordinary income - so it makes no sense to put anything there that you could potentially get lower taxation on by holding it in a taxable account (e.g. long-term capital gains and qualified dividends).
to ordinary income rates on the way out seems like it may be overlooking some things.
It is confusing. So I'm looking for a good reference source or calculator with illustrative examples, to help think through specifics, and flesh out the rules of thumb - as helpful as they may be.
Roth IRA contributions can be withdrawn at any time for any reason with no penalties. It just gets messy if you want to chew into the gains on those contributions.
I put this whole taxable/tax-deferred debate into the categories of "over-tweaking" and "too hard". Some deadline journalist realized that cap gains in a taxable account would be taxed more favorably than as earned income from a tax-deferred account, while bond income (especially TIPS) would not be penalized by taxes while it's compounding in a tax-deferred account. So the "rule" became to split up your assets that way and to start tapping the IRA when you retired after the age of 59.5. Besides, darn few deadline journalists know anything about retirement, let alone ER.
Five years into ER we're still rebalancing the profts into our cash stash (which is in a taxable money-market account). We only had to chew through our cash stash in 2002-2003 and it's grown quite handily since then. We're rebalancing from our taxable accounts because the cap gains are taxed quite favorably and because our last higher-cost bloated mutual fund is in a taxable accounts. I've already talked about selling strategies in a bear market, but I'd hope to be able to go through the entire taxable portion of the portfolio before I'd have to start in on the IRAs (however we do that-- Roth contributions or 72(t)s).
Of course we don't hold any bonds, either, so we've sidestepped that entire bond/tax-deferred account issue. But maybe TIPS or other bonds would be a good way to get through the RMD phase of drawing down the IRAs.
I put this whole taxable/tax-deferred debate into the categories of "over-tweaking" and "too hard".
I suspect you've nailed it with that one.
.........I know I am repeating my self, but I have not seen any alternative to holding large amounts of cash in a taxable account during ER, if you are depending on your portfolio to fund expenses and not tap equities during a bear market.
Yup. You've got it, Bob.
For someone retiring early, without a pension (or only having a tiny one), the income is going to come from taxable accounts if you're not going to do a 72T scheme (which I'm not). Furthermore, if you were/are making pretty good money at the job, you were probably maxing your 401k, and not eligible for a Roth.
So your tax-deferred equities may be doing fantastic, going up whatever percent recently. Which is irrelevant to your pre-59&1/2 expenses. Any dividends on the tax-deferred side, as great as they may be, are on the other side of the tax boundary.
So as your tax-deferred side grows, your taxable side declines with expenses. How quickly it declines, or if it indeed grows after expenses is of course dependant on how big your taxable accounts are relative to your annual expenses.
One can make the taxable side decline more slowly or maybe actually grow with a healthy share of equities there... and then be subject to a down-turn in the market that could devastate the $ that you were going to be using for living expenses. Like the 2000 through 2002 bear market. So it would seem that the taxable side is going to be tilted strongly to fixed income side to insure survival.
Have 25 times their yearly expenses in their taxable accounts!
So your question and comments are good ones.
I have wondered about this a great deal of late. There is a valid point above that deadline journalists don't have a clue as to the intricacies of all this and so their having pointed out that FI in tax advantaged accounts are the norm du jour should probably be ignored.
Here's my read on this. If one chooses to use AA rebalance events to also re-allocate from taxable vs non taxable -- it would seem to me that the solution is in hand.
You keep FI in non taxed/tax advantaged accts. If the market crashes, you sell equities from your taxable account to raise cash to live on, and you buy the correct amount of equities in your 401K/IRA/Roth segment to maintain your target FI/Equity AA -- so that Guyton's downside imperatives are satisfied.
If the market then booms, you still have all equities in taxable accounts, and you sell them -- again to raise cash to live on, but you also sell equities (accumulated during the crash) in your 401K/IRA/Roth segment to get the FI/Equity AA back to the target.
That should address the problem if the crash comes first.
If the boom happens first, there would appear to be no way to avoid having some FI in your taxable accounts to maintain the target AA. But if the boom happens first, Guyton's rules are less stressed.
Lots of great info to ponder. I think for the Roth IRAs we can accept a higher amount of high volitility/risk equities (mid/small-cap and int'l) and leave a heavier lg-cap exposure on the taxable side (still no bonds). Later as we consider a FI portion we can ponder where to put it, but from what I gleaned at least some would need to be in taxable accounts (like the dividends into a MM idea). I'm still working though what to do with the TSP (401k) and whether it might matter for the tax deferred accounts.
Yeah, but if that 4% involves all of your assets then that includes tax advantaged funds. If your portfolio throws off 2% but only 1/3 of your portfolio is taxable, then the taxable component throws off around .66% of your needs. You would have to liquidate the rest. The poster's bottom line is correct. If you are keeping cash for a down market it needs to be in taxable accounts in the early years. I have been building up some CDs/bonds for that purpose over the last year. It is all in taxable accounts. The IRAs are more aggressive since I don't anticipate tapping them for a while.
Yes. This is absolutely correct. Your asset allocation is indifferent as to whether your equities are sold in a taxable account and replaced in a tax deferred account or vice versa . . . the only one who cares is the tax man.

Risk of death among people with rare autoimmune diseases compared to the general population in England during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic.
To quantify the risk of death among people with rare autoimmune rheumatic diseases (RAIRD) during the UK 2020 COVID-19 pandemic compared with the general population, and compared with their pre-COVID risk.We conducted a cohort study in Hospital Episode Statistics for England 2003 onwards, and linked data from the NHS Personal Demographics Service. We used ONS published data for general population mortality rates.We included 168 691 people with a recorded diagnosis of RAIRD alive on 01/03/2020. Their median age was 61.7 (IQR 41.5-75.4) years, and 118 379 (70.2%) were female. Our case ascertainment methods had a positive predictive value of 85%. 1,815 (1.1%) participants died during March and April 2020. The age-standardised mortality rate (ASMR) among people with RAIRD (3669.3, 95% CI 3500.4-3838.1 per 100 000 person-years) was 1.44 (95% CI 1.42-1.45) times higher than the average ASMR during the same months of the previous 5 years, whereas in the general population of England it was 1.38 times higher. Age-specific mortality rates in people with RAIRD compared with the pre-COVID rates were higher from the age of 35 upwards, whereas in the general population the increased risk began from age 55 upwards. Women had a greater increase in mortality rates during COVID-19 compared with men.The risk of all-cause death is more prominently raised during COVID-19 among people with RAIRD than among the general population. We urgently need to quantify how much risk is due to COVID-19 infection and how much is due to disruption to healthcare services.

Kristallnacht est un projet de black metal français créé en 1994, originaire de Toulon (Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur), nommé d'abord Funeral jusqu'en 1996.

Le groupe fait partie des groupes fondateurs de la mouvance NSBM en France, aux côtés de Seigneur Voland.

Histoire

1994-1996 : Les années Funeral
Le groupe Funeral est formé en 1994 par Black Christ (guitare, déjà actif dans Blessed in Sin), Xaphan (chant) et Hades (basse, guitare, voix) Ils sont rejoints par Krof à la batterie en 1995.

En 1995, sort la démo Black Flame of Unholy Hate, puis Black Christ quitte le groupe pour se concentrer exclusivement sur Blessed in Sin, Hades reprend alors la guitare. Un split avec Osculum Infame voit aussi le jour via le label A.M.S.G.

Dans la nuit du  au  quatre adolescents exhument le corps d'Yvonne Foin et enfoncent  alors une croix dans son cœur. Ils sont arrêtés deux jours plus tard. Dans un reportage de France 3, l'interrogatoire des personnes arrêtées a été qualifié de «très philosophique », et les jeunes se seraient décrits comme des adeptes de Satan.  Les médias ont également rapporté l'existence de prospectus anti-chrétiens, accusant Jésus-Christ de crimes contre l'humanité, ces derniers provenant du magazine Napalm Rock autour de Christian Bouchet Nouvelle Résistance.   France 3 évoque alors l'appartenance des profanateurs au groupe Funeral, citant leurs déclarations dans un fanzine néonazi.

Des consignes pour créer des bombes, des cocktails Molotov et des explosifs ont été découverts par la suite.

1996-2006: Kristallnacht
Laurent commence par abandonner le pseudo de Hades, ne voulant pas être considéré comme païen, il s'est d'abord appelé M. Wolf. Il a également travaillé avec Xaphan chez Seigneur Voland.  Laurent ayant adoré la démo Blutrausch du projet allemand Morke (fondateur du NSBM en Allemagne), un split a été proposé, ce dernier est sorti en 1997 et sera la première production sous le nom de Kristallnacht (nom faisant référence au pogroms de novembre 1938). Peu de temps après, Laurent est condamné à une peine de prison en mai 1998 pour propagande néonazie et incitation à la haine raciale.

En 1999 sort l'EP Warspirit, limité à  via Hate Records et Darker Than Black Records (label de Hendrick Möbus d'Absurd), Laurent utilise même son vrai prénom, un musicien inconnu (Patrick) est présent au clavier et à la boîte à rythmes. Il sera de nombreuses fois rééditées par la suite.

En 1999, Kristallnacht se retrouve aussi sur la compilation NSBM The Night and the Fog avec le titre A Strife... A Victory.

Laurent n'utilisera ensuite que ses initiales L.F. EN 2000 sort l'EP Soldiers of Triumphant Sun, qui contient une reprise de Burzum : Lost Wisdom . Rimmon (Seigneur Voland), Infect  et Rost rejoignent le groupe. En 2001 sort Of Elitism and War, contenant des morceaux de Warspirit et Soldiers of Triumphant Sun. Un split CD sort également avec Blessed in Sin et Seigneur Voland, sous le nom Gathered under the Banner of Concilium, pour marquer leur union passée autour de ce symbole.

En 2006 sort une compilation regroupant l'ensemble de la discographie des deux groupes Funeral / Kristallnacht : Blooddrenched Memorial (1994-2002) est sorti, d'abord en CD sur Wotanstahl Klangschmiede et en LP sur Grievantee Productions. On peut lire dans le livret les articles de presse revant sur l'incident de la profanation citée plus haut.

Laurent est également à l'origine du fanzine Strength Through War et gère son propre label Adversary Productions.

Idéologie
D'après la déclaration de certains membres passés du groupe, leur objectif est de diffuser la nécessité du " génocide de la race humaine, [de] la destruction des religions juive / chrétienne / musulmane [et de] la pureté et la suprématie de la race aryenne ".

Laurent semble, via ses paroles et ses interviews, mettre en avant une vision biologique de l'homme, avec un accent mis sur l'idéal d'une communauté raciale, basée sur les "lois éternelles de la nature" et "menacée par des ennemis externes et internes".

Contrairement au groupe Absurd, qui considère le national-socialisme comme "l'idéologie la plus naturelle du black metal", Laurent est d'un avis différent. Pour lui le Black Metal n'est « pas une musique destinée au NS, le NS correspond à la vision du monde du Black Metal, mais ce n'est pas la seule : le satanisme, le paganisme, le nihilisme peuvent se propager à travers le Black Metal. À mon avis, l'élitisme et l'antisémitisme (ou l'anti-judeochristianisme, si l'on préfère) sont la base du côté idéologique du black metal. "
