The Double Right To Cover From The Border Areas
Nune Hakhverdyan
Art critic, journalist
The situation on the border with Armenia is constantly escalating, military operations are being carried out, and border villages, which are being bombed and in danger, are in the center of our attention. And the first question that arises in the media is how to cover the events and how appropriate is the option of coverage?
The four-day war in April 2016 was also a great lesson for the media, which was more cautious and united, both by an internal decision and by state coercion, limiting its rights to the principle of non-harm.
In 2020, the situation is different. The Armenian-Azerbaijani clashes in the Tavush region, which started on July 12, are not as intense as in 2016, but for the third day in a row, the border is the main topic, pain and concern.
The combination of those three words prompted several media outlets to rush to the danger zone and broadcast live from border villages. The main thing, the pain, the uncertain future are the materials that can always be considered in demand.
That's what the journalistic groups from Chinari and Movses villages thought, showing the residents, the positions, the events in the village, the people in military uniforms, the nature, the sounds of the shootout.
The first question that arises when watching this live broadcast is, why hence a live broadcast and not a report where you could edit the footage, the speech, the scenes? Was it needed fast? In that case, the second question is: what needed to be covered so quickly?
Just going to the border and asking questions to all the people with childish facial expressions is not only unsafe, but simply useless. Except for the dubious pleasure of caressing a journalist's narcissism.
The 20-minute live coverage, co-filmed by Tert and ArmNews, from the border village of Chinari, was one of those things that didn't say anything, which makes you want to say, maybe think a little before going live.
Running after everyone and asking them to comment on the shootings and expectations (especially the religious leader) reminds us that the media outlet that sent the journalist on a business trip may not have a good idea of its role. It just said, go, see what is there, what you see, take a picture and go live as fast as you can.
Factor.am's material is from the same series. When a journalist goes to the border village of Movses and does not have a good idea of what he is going to videotape. And since he does not know, he decides to go in and shoot what happens and ask whatever question pops in his head.
Questions to the residents, what they think about the situation, questions about the weapons they use (for example, if they made a mistake and confused "Katyusha" with "Grad" or automatic fire. What will happen? After all, they are not experts in military equipment).
The journalist of the newspaper approaches the people armed with military uniforms and without hesitation asks, what action are you going to take?
The journalist was waiting for them to explain the sequence of actions, the strategy, the position changes, and so on.
The Factor.am journalist kept asking the villagers what the solution was. Of course, that question cannot be answered. But the journalist kept asking it.
Or ask why Azerbaijan resorted to such a provocative action. I wonder what response the media expects, especially in a live broadcast? That the resident of Movses village will really give an exhaustive and complete answer? Hardly.
The media outlet just asks to see what comes out.
That approach of let's go and see what comes out, has already spread so much that it directly harms all spheres.
And, of course, first of all the work of the Armed Forces, which is above all these days. Even more than media rights! Or rather, from the dual and vague application of rights.
Media outlets without internal and external codes believe that anything is possible.
For example, to take the microphone and run after the villagers, the soldiers, as they do in the corridors of the National Assembly, running after the deputies. And when they are rebuked for being vigilant and free from the temptation of arrogance in emergencies and conflicts, their freedom of speech is restricted.
Much has been written about the dangers of such naive and at the same time self-confident live broadcasts. But now it seems that in 2020, that conversation should start again from scratch.
The right to remain silent, to think, to self-edit has not yet been banned. And definitely, the 1-2 minute standup was enough to show that the media outlet delegated a hotline to its employee, and now it is thinking of editing the footage.
Eventually, the media realizes that the live broadcast is unpredictable, and what should not appear in the footage may appear.
Yes, there are situations when journalism is not a priority. And the journalist is not a hero who has to tell something directly, even though he has nothing to tell.
Journalists with extensive experience in covering war operations not only curb the temptation to rush, they simply kill it. One can, for example, listen to Edik Baghdasaryan here, whose experience in such situations is invaluable.
Or to Tatul Hakobyan here, who in almost all tense situations prepares reports and films and has developed a clear code of conduct for himself. On July 14, he wrote on Facebook that while working on the front lines, he is naturally in touch with the army, he knows what to give and what not to broadcast.
"Yes, these days the life of each of our soldiers is more than 1000 reportages. And I am guided by that principle."
The role of the internal editor in such situations is the price of gold. Otherwise, the editors will come from outside and will be more cruel and one-sided.
On July 13, the Ministry of Defense called on the media to "refrain from entering areas of possible hostilities, including those entering border areas, and, moreover, from doing live broadcasts."
The Ministry of Defense conditioned it not only with the security of the local residents but also with the security of the units of the Armenian armed forces located in the given areas.
Thus, "in fact, giving the opponent an opportunity to watch the actions taking place in our territory live, which is absolutely inadmissible."
As early as July 14, Hetq wrote that its journalists had been barred from entering the town of Berd in the Tavush region, and that police had not allowed a group of investigative journalists to enter the town.
Though, this ban was the result of a previous live broadcast. An unjustified and aimless live broadcast.

-   The Playwright

* * *

### The Playwright

-   is considerde an idependent artist whose work is done mosyly in isolation
-   is not primarily a literary activity even the makeup of the word is distinctive:
    -   Playwright is not playwrite
    -   A maker or builder -> to compose a text or work

### How playwriting differs from other literary forms

-   Portions of plays are not written at all.
-   The core of every play is Action
    -   Dialogur and Physical Action
-   Excerpt from king lear

### Credibility and Intrigue

-   imposed demand on good plays that they require a play's actions to appear to flow logically from its characters.
-   characters act out of their own individual
-   require that maintain consistency within themselves
-   require human characters appear to act and think like human beings.

### Speakability, Stageability and Flow

-   Flow requires a continual stram of information
-   A play that flows well is one that is continually saying doing and meaning something to the audience

I had Spicy Ginataang Baboy with Papaya and Malunggay for lunch today, and it was so good! This is an example of one of the simple things in life that I am thankful for. I am sharing this recipe to you so that you can experience the simple pleasures that make me happy.
I like this dish a lot because it is delicious. This reminds me of ginataang manok. It has a balanced flavor; the coconut cream made it rich, while the chili peppers added spice. I think that the combination of coconut cream, chili peppers, and papaya was successful, to begin with; while the addition of pork and other ingredients made it even better.
If you are on a weight loss diet, I apologize for the temptation. You may continue to read on, but you have been forewarned.
Cooking Spicy Ginataang Baboy with Papaya and Malunggay is easy. Really! You just need to sauté the garlic, onion, ginger, and pork. Add the coconut milk, water, and pork cube and then cook it until the pork gets tender. Add the papaya and the rest of the ingredients. That's it!
This dish will be successful if you use the suggested ingredients listed in the recipe below. For example, using coconut cream or "kakang gata" is better compared to regular coconut milk because it is richer. I also suggest that you use unripe papaya rather than its alternative because it goes well when cooked with coconut cream.
I am always here to listen and to guide you. Use the comment section below to ask questions or to send feedback. Happy cooking!
Try this Spicy Ginataang Baboy with Papaya and Malunggay Recipe. Let me know what you think.
Sauté garlic, onion, and ginger until the onion gets soft.
Add the pork and ground black pepper. Continue to sauté until it turns brown.
Pour the coconut cream and water into the pot. Let boil.
Add the Knorr pork cube. Set the heat to low. Cover the pot and then continue to cook for 40 minutes or until the pork gets tender.
Add the papaya and chili peppers. Stir and then cook for 10 minutes.
Add the malunggay leaves and fish sauce. Continue to cook for 5 minutes.
yehey! I will try it! Thanks Chef!
any alternative po sa malunggay, spinach po pwede?
June, you can use spinach.
Unripe papaya is different from green papaya?
Any alternative for unripe papaya?
Unripe papaya is the same as green papaya. I'm sorry, but I cannot recommend any alternatives for papaya when it comes to ginataan. I wish that I can suggest chayote (sayote). However, there is this interesting flavor that comes out when papaya is cooked in coconut milk that cannot be reproduced by chayote.
I always check your site before I cook. Its always simplied version of your cooking that I like! And I would always go straight to video, since its easier to remember and I'd know if I was following you correctly.
plss post vids all the time if you always have chance. Thank you!!!

NDO - A selection of noteworthy artistic and cultural events that will take place in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
You are invited to a night of concert and contemporary dance featuring the participation of Meritorious Artists Tran Ly Ly and Nguyen Hong Phong, alongside members of the Symphony Orchestra and Choir of the Vietnam National Opera & Ballet.
The exhibition display artworks of seven female Vietnamese artists who paint flowers and women – symbols of femininity: Lam Na, Nguyen Thanh Huong, Le Thuy, Dinh Mai Thu Trang, To Ngoc Thao, Nguyen My and Nguyen Lan Huong.
The total of 42 paintings presented in this exhibition intuitively reflect the aesthetic perception and views of the artists on society and ethics, as well as their thoughts and desire for gender equality.
The exhibition "Midway" by photographer Duy Phuong records the tangled emotions that have been born out of the urbanisation process in Vietnam.
The exhibition "Mother and Nature" showcases paintings of women in natural settings by artist Van Duong Thanh, which were created with a combination of Vietnamese and Western techniques.
The expression "Fall & Release" refers to a training and studying method common in contemporary dance.
In his works, the artist tried to rediscover, through the figure of the fall, this space in between the causes and consequences of a movement, where space and time is undefined and the body forgets itself to give the viewer the most absurd beauty.
For his third solo exhibition at the gallery, Truc-Anh tells a complex and nuanced story of transformation and awakening.
The title of the show exemplifies these dynamics, as a reference to the video games of Truc-Anh's childhood, while also alluding to metaphysical dimensions.
In particular, the symmetrical number eight – representing a perfect loop and infinity – appears in many of the works, while references to rebirth, healing and impermanence interspersed with images of the ego, vanity and conceit are also prevalent.

Jones' impressive raw pace goes unrewarded in IndyCar GP
Rapid IndyCar rookie continues to showcase palpable potential
Dale Coyne Racing ace frustrated by ill-fortune at Indianapolis
Dubai-born Brit now revving up for the biggest race of the year
Ed Jones produced a scintillating turn-of-speed in last weekend's IndyCar Grand Prix, but his chances of adding a third top ten finish to his tally in what has been an impressive Verizon IndyCar Series rookie campaign to-date were undone by misfortune in Indiana.
The IndyCar Grand Prix traditionally kick-starts IndyCar's celebrated 'Month of May', and the iconic Indianapolis Motor Speedway's 2.439-mile, 14-turn road course had been a happy hunting-ground for Jones in the past.
The talented Dubai, UAE-born ace claimed no fewer than three pole positions there in Indy Lights and reached the top step of the rostrum en route to the drivers' crown in the fiercely-disputed Mazda Road to Indy feeder series last year. He returned with his sights solidly set on maintaining his progression at the pinnacle of US open-wheel competition.
After struggling throughout practice – completing fewer laps than any of his rivals and uncharacteristically bringing up the rear of the timesheets amongst the 22 high-calibre contenders – Jones and Dale Coyne Racing dug deep to engineer a remarkable turnaround in qualifying.
Narrowly missing out on advancing to the second part of the session, the 22-year-old Brit lined up 13th on the grid for the 85-lap IndyCar Grand Prix. His challenge, however, was almost immediately compromised when – following a bright start that saw him gain some early ground – he found himself forced to take to the grass to avoid a spinning Tony Kanaan, rejoining the fray all the way down in 20th position.
Having grittily battled back up to 13th, a refuelling issue during Jones' first pit visit caused a further delay and prompted an unscheduled extra stop, demoting him to a lonely 19th place. He would remain there to the chequered flag, as a rare caution-free race afforded him scant opportunity to play catch-up. The former European F3 Open Champion posted the fastest lap at one stage behind the wheel of his 720bhp Dallara-Honda single-seater, ending up third-quickest overall in evidence of what might have been.
With no time to rest, Jones and DCR are already hard at work preparing for the 101st edition of the legendary Indianapolis 500 – the culmination of the 'Month of May' – with two days of qualifying scheduled for 20/21 May followed by 'The Greatest Spectacle in Racing' itself a week later on 28 May.
"The Indianapolis road course has been a good track for me in the past" reflected the Williams-Harfield Sports Group protégé. "It's quite a European-style circuit, which I think is one of the reasons why I feel so comfortable there. We went into the weekend believing it would probably be one of our best chances to get a good result so far this year, but in practice we had a few problems that made it really difficult to learn and progress.
"We made some big changes heading into qualifying and moved nearer to my team-mate's set-up. That allowed us to take a big jump and I ended up really close to the 'Fast 12', missing out by less than half-a-tenth-of-a-second. It was obviously frustrating not to go through to the next round, but still massive to qualify where we did given where we had been in practice – much better than we had feared.
"Unfortunately, it was then a difficult race. At the start we moved up a little bit, but going into Turn Seven, Kanaan spun in front of me and I had to avoid him – I thought he was going to take me out properly! I had to go onto the grass, and that dropped me to the rear of the field.
"After that, we were coming through and our pace was pretty good, but then at the first pit-stop we didn't get all the fuel into the car, costing us a lot of time and messing up the whole race as it sent us to the back again. That was a real shame, as we set the third-best lap so we were clearly quick, and I think we would have probably finished inside the top ten if we'd had a clean run."


The Prime Minister's statement comes hours after 9,746 fake voter ID cards were found from a flat in SLV Park View Apartment in Bengaluru's Jalahalli locality and the Election Commission's revelation of the same at midnight was followed by political sparring, as both the BJP and the Congress alleged each other's links with the concerned flat.
Mumbai: The Shiv Sena on Wednesday told Prime Minister Narendra Modi "not to ridicule" Congress President Rahul Gandhi who announced his name for the country's top post if his party is voted to power in 2019.
Speaking to media over the matter, BJP leader and Union Minister Prakash Javadekar said, "Congress is losing public support and they are trying hard to rig the upcoming elections in Karnataka by undemocratic ways".
"If road work has happened, concrete roads, drainage, drinking water facilities are there, if houses have been constructed, it is all because of Narendra Modi and our government", Mr Siddaramaiah said. This is what they did here in Karnataka also. "Congress is playing a risky game, I want to warn the people of Karnataka about this unsafe game", he said.
He lashed out at the Congress for heralding in an era of politics that is afflicted by chronic ailments - communalism, casteism, criminalisation, corruption and contract system.
"The Congress still remains the biggest party in the country today. The question in people's minds is why the BJP gave ticket to Rajendra Gavit (a former Congress leader), who had fought against Chintaman Wanga", Raut asked.
President Donald Trump is weighing in on West Virginia's Republican Senate primary, telling voters to "remember Alabama". So I'm gonna go out on a limb here and ask the people of West Virginia to make a wise decision and reject Blankenship!
Describing him as "arrogant" and "immature", Modi said that Gandhi is not bothered about his party or its legacy and is only anxious about the job of the prime minister.
"In five years, this Congress government has ruined the image of the state". The party, which was part of the UPA government from 2004-2014, is expected to ally with the Congress again for next year's general election.
"Naam dar ka ahankar satwi asman chhu raha hae ya nahi (Is the arrogance of the famous leader not reaching sky high that he declares himself as the Prime Ministerial candidate)?", he said.
"Only Congress is right.CAG is wrong, CBI is wrong.only Congress is right.this is what they believe", Mr Modi said.
Also, we have seen that Modi shared his view towards Congress chief Rahul Gandhi's "PM in 2019 remark".

New head of Colosseum archaeological park
Alfonsina Russo named director of new Colosseum archaeological park.
Italian archaeologist Alfonsina Russo has been appointed director of the new Colosseum archaeological park which, in addition to the Colosseum, includes the Roman Forum, the Palatine Hill and the Domus Aurea.
Russo beat 77 other candidates, of whom around 15 per cent were non-Italian, to land the four-year post which has an annual salary of €145,000.
A specialist in classical archaeology, Russo has been an internal director at Italy's culture ministry since 2009, with experience in museum management and organising major exhibitions in Italy and abroad.
She will now be responsible for the overall management of the Colosseum archaeological park as well as the implementation and development of its cultural and scientific programme.
Russo's appointment comes four months after Italy's top administrative court overturned a regional court ruling against the government's plan to establish the new archaeological park.
Rome mayor Virginia Raggi had opposed the archaeological park on the grounds that it would be "harmful to the interests of Roma Capitale", referring to the fact that under the new plan the city would only receive 30 per cent of ticket sales proceeds from the Colosseum and Forum.
The appointment of Russo is the final chapter in a protracted attempt by Italian culture minister Dario Franceschini to push through a decree designed to streamline the management of the capital's archaeological sites, increase visitor numbers and offer better services.
Wanted in Rome is a monthly magazine in English for expatriates in Rome established in 1985. The magazine covers Rome news stories that may be of interest to English and Italian speaking residents, and tourists as well. The publication also offers classifieds, photos, information on events, museums, churches, galleries, exhibits, fashion, food, and local travel.

Chairman of ISC Meets with U.S. Secretary of Education | ISC Constructors, L.L.C.
Baton Rouge, LA – ISC Constructors, LLC (ISC) Chairman, Eddie Rispone, recently had an opportunity to attend a meeting between ABC National and Secretary of Education, Betsy DeVos, to discuss educational opportunities for the construction industry. In attendance were the National President and CEO of the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC), Mike Bellaman, and Vice President of Health, Safety, Environment and Workforce Development, Greg Sizemore. The meeting took place in Washington, D.C. on June 22, 2017 and included two construction professionals who shared how ABC programs have allowed them to focus on a career in construction and achieve life goals for their respective families. This meeting underscored the importance of assisting Americans in procuring jobs, developing a competent workforce, while supporting a shared desire to promote adult educational opportunities. The benefits of ABC's comprehensive education programs, which prepare participants for a lifelong career in the construction industry, were among the topics discussed.
As Chairman of the Louisiana Federation for Children, Mr. Rispone has had the opportunity to work with Secretary DeVos for several years, while she served as the Chairman of the American Federation for Children. The Louisiana Federation for Children is a project of the American Federation for Children, which is the national voice for educational choice to ensure that children have a quality education.
President Trump has issued an executive order for the development of apprenticeship programs that would provide more educational/career development programs in the United States. Secretary DeVos has been appointed as Co-Chairperson of this order.


Not all of our work photographs well.
For example, we've learned a client's technical, specialized B2B business so well that we were able to write (and beautifully design) five different 100+ page proposal templates for their 500+ person sales teams to use in their five verticals.
We've sat around boardroom tables with our clients' management teams, keeping the planning conversations on track, pointing out the missing pieces, and phrasing the hard-to-pinpoint concepts in exactly the right way.
We've swooped in at the last minute and rewritten a hastily assembled business strategy plan for an unexpected investor meeting, re-crafted a 40-slide PowerPoint deck for a major international conference talk, and coached a client through their competition delivery all the way to first place.
These things are perfect examples of what we do very, very well, but they make for lousy portfolio pictures.
Luckily, we've also made a lot of very pretty things in the last ten years! Here are some examples of those.
Does social media matter in the B2B world?

The port of Lavrio is the second most important Greek port after the Piraeus Port. Each year over 208,000 passengers leave from Lavrio port and 97.8% of them travel to the Kea Island (also know as Tzia).
The main highway connection of Lavrio with its airport has undergone a complete renovation making access to the airport from the city center easy by taxis, buses, automobiles, and by train.
The port of Lavrio is very active with passenger ferries, commercial boats, fishing boats, and yachts. Ferries that depart from the port of Lavrio travel faster to the eastern Aegean Islands and the Cyclades Islands because of Lavrio Port's convenient location.
Lavrio is south of Athens and can be reached by a long taxi ride of about 1 hour and 15 minutes from Athens. The taxi fare from the center of Athens to the port of Lavrio will cost about 65 euros in the day time and 80 euros at night because of the surcharge.
To get closer to Lavrio by using public transport, you can take a tram from Faliro or Syntagma to Voula and then take a taxi. A taxi ride from Voula takes about 30 minutes and cost less than half of the taxi ride from Athens.
Suburban buses to Lavrio take about two hours to reach the port from Athens. They leave from the center of Athens at Pedion Areos. Buses leave every thirty to sixty minutes.

\section{Introduction}

Generally speaking, there are several types of models to interpret the origin of life on Earth.
The two most persuasive and popular models are the abiogenesis~\cite{Oparin,Haldane} and panspermia theory~\cite{Panspermia}.

The modern version of abiogenesis is also known as chemical origin theory introduced by Oparin in the 1920s~\cite{Oparin},
and Haldane proposed a similar theory independently~\cite{Haldane} at almost the same time. In this theory, the organic compounds are naturally produced from inorganic matters through physicochemical processes and then reassembled into much more complex living creatures.
The famous Miller-Urey experiment~\cite{MillerUrey} and subsequent researches proved that several kinds of amino acids (the chemical constituents of the proteins) can be synthesized in the inorganic environment of the early Earth, which is a very positive evidence of the abiogenesis theory. Although the abiogenesis model has been widely recognized among scientists, many details of the entire process are far from clear.

The age of the Earth is about 4.54 billion years~\cite{earthage} and the liquid ocean was formed at about 4.325 billion years ago~\cite{oceantime}. There are solid evidences that life on the Earth existed at least 3.5 billion years~\cite{lifetime,lifetime2}.
Moreover, some researches suggested that the oldest life may have appeared as early as 4.28--3.77 billion years ago~\cite{lifetime3}.
Between 4.1--3.8 billion years ago, it is believed that Earth endured a series of powerful meteor shower.
The beginning of life on Earth occurred before or soon after this heavy bombardment period, i.e. there was only hundreds of millions of years to complete the formation of life on Earth. It is shorter than what is generally believed and might mean that the formation of life did not happened on Earth.

Panspermia theory was firstly suggested by Lord Kelvin in 1871.
In this theory, it is presumed that primitive lives, the seeds of Earth's
life, exist in the solar system, Milky Way and even the entire universe. And they propagated to the Earth through meteorites from other planets in solar system or the comets from other planet systems in the Milky Way.
The seeds of life must have the ability to survive in extremely harsh environment and might be one kind of extremophile~\cite{extremophile1,extremophile2}.

Even if this theory is real, it does not solve the problem of where and how life originated in the universe.
If the seeds of life came from any region of the Milky Way with different genetic coding system and if they can all arrived at the early Earth, the diversity of Earth's life should be much greater. But as we know, the creatures on the Earth share the same genetic-expression system and therefore have a common origin which usually named as ``the last universal common ancestor (LUCA)''. The first two hypotheses cannot be true at the same time. Of course, it can be attributed to the rarity and occasionality about the arrival of life-bearing systems from other planet systems. But the origin of life on Earth is completely an accident and such model is not convincing.

In this draft, we proposed a new model, named as Nebula-Relay hypothesis or local panspermia, which is actually a modified version of panspermia theory. It systematically solves the difficulties of aforementioned models and has clear predictions for further testes.

This paper is organized as follows: In Sec.2 we present our method. The main predictions of this model are presented in Sec.3 and the conclusions are summarized in Sec.4.

\section{Nebula-Relay Hypothesis}

In abiogenesis theory, the rapid emergence of life on Earth may indicate that the origin of life is not so complicated.
And in the panspermia theory, the seeds of life are somehow universal in the Milky way. In these two models, it can be expected that extraterrestrial civilizations are common in universe. However, the Fermi paradox tells us that such overestimated probability of extraterrestrial civilizations in the Milky Way contradicts with the lack of evidence. In ref.~\cite{Sandberg}, the authors found that the substantial probability that human is the only intelligent creature in the Milky Way is about 53\%--99.6\% and
39\%--85\% for the observable universe situation. In other words, the number of high-level intelligent creatures may be much less than the previous expectation.
Then the interpretation of Fermi paradox might be the rarity of high-level intelligent creatures.
This may imply that the occurrence of life is very complex and cost much longer time than the previous expectations.

In our model, the first and most important assumption is that the formation of seeds of Earth's life takes billions of years and it's much longer than the time between the birth of the Earth and life therein.
But where did this process happen? To explain the homology of Earth's life and avoid the contingency of panspermia theory, we should develop a more reasonable theory.

The sun is thought to be a third-generation star in the universe and formed from the pre-solar nebula, a molecular cloud, which is produced by the supernova explosion of sun's predecessor star~\cite{solar}. In this draft, we named the sun's predecessor epoch as the pre-solar epoch.
About the sun's predecessor star, we know very little about it.
Chemical elements composing of life, such as carbon, nitrogen and oxygen, are produced by the nuclear reaction process in the center of massive stars. So rocky planets and primitive lives can only be formed after the death of first-generation stars. Fortunately, as the second-generation star, the predecessor of sun can provide necessary materials for the origin of life.

The second assumption in our model is that primitive life occurred in the planet of sun's predecessor star and could live in the environment of molecular clouds.
Generally speaking, molecular clouds act as a relay station connecting the life in Solar System and its predecessor, so we call this model the Nebula-Relay hypothesis. Then the history of Earth's life can be divided into three epochs as follows.

\subsection{Epoch I: The formation of primitive life in the planet of pre-solar star}

In this epoch, primitive life was formed on one planet of the pre-solar star through complex physicochemical interactions.
It is extremely difficult to explore this process in detail now since we can't accurately know the environment at that time.
After formation, primitive lives could be dislodged into interstellar space by some special mechanisms. In ref.~\cite{Berera2017}, the authors pointed out that interplanetary space dust has enough kinetic energy to propel the microbial life of atmospheres into interstellar space. Some of them could then be blown far away from the pre-solar star though solar wind or other processes. This may be the reason how primitive life survive from the supernova explosion of pre-solar star. Moreover, if primitive life is wrapped up in some celestial bodies, such as comets and meteorites, its survival probability would be greatly enhanced.

Primitive life here doesn't have to refer to one specific species. It could also be a collection of creatures which have same origins and share some common characteristics.
Generally speaking, the simpler biological structure, the stronger environmental adaptability. Therefore we expected that primitive life have very simple structure.

We prefer that primitive life satisfy the RNA (Ribonucleic Acid) world hypothesis which was proposed by Alexander Rich~\cite{RNA1} and named by Walter Gilbert~\cite{RNA2}.
This is because the RNA creatures have much simpler structures and avoid the fragility of protein and DNA (DeoxyriboNucleic Acid).

We do not rule out the possibility that there were much more complex creatures in Epoch I. But such creatures do not adapt to the harsh environment of molecular cloud and have nothing to do with the life on Earth.

\subsection{Epoch II: Primitive life in the pre-solar nebula}

After the death of pre-solar star, primitive life-forms distributed in the produced pre-solar nebula, i.e. molecular cloud, and lived miraculously in such severe conditions. The reproduction of these primitive life in molecular cloud makes their density large enough when the Solar System was born.

Molecular cloud is a type of interstellar cloud and mainly composed of gases and dusts. Its typical temperature is about dozens of Kelvin. The average density is about $\rm 10^2-10^4$ molecules per cubic centimeter and hydrogen molecule is the most population constituent. In addition, many kinds of organic compounds were also found in molecular clouds, such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons~\cite{PAHs}, fullerenes~\cite{fullerenes}, glycolaldehyde~\cite{glycolaldehyde} and so on.
Glycolaldehyde, a specific sugar molecule, plays an important role in the formation of RNA. These organics provide the necessary materials for the survival and reproduction of primitive life. It is reasonable to assume that there are similar compositions in pre-solar nebula.

In the low temperature environment of molecular cloud, primitive life maintains low biological activity and requires only a small amount of energy. A special biological mechanism is needed to utilize the energy in the molecular cloud.

Cosmic ray (CR) may be the possible energy sources, such as CR electrons and high energy photons.
Free radical might be one possible intermediate carrier of energy flow process in life.
If CR electrons are captured by the compounds in primitive life, active free radicals are formed naturally.
Another possibility is that free radicals are produced by the ionization processes of charged CR particles in primitive life. Further reactions of free radicals release its energy for primitive life. As pointed out in ref.~\cite{atp}, free radicals probably take part in the phosphorylation of adenosine diphosphate. The biochemical process of extremophile may provide us more useful information about such mechanism as they live in similar environment as primitive lives.
Moreover, it is conceivable to use organic macromolecules (similar to green fluorescent protein) to realize the energy conversion from high-energy electromagnetic radiation to the organisms in molecular cloud.

CR in molecular clouds contains two components which are primary component produced by CR source and secondary component produced by the collision of CR particles and molecular cloud. The collision process can also reduce the number of high-energy CR particles, which would protect primitive life from lethal radiation. The density of secondary CR particles ($q_{\rm sec}(p)$) at momentum $p$ can be calculated as follows:
\begin{equation}
  q_{\rm sec}(p)=\beta c n_{\rm H} \int {\rm d}p^\prime\frac{{\rm d}\sigma(p,p^\prime)}{{\rm d}p} n(p^\prime),
\label{sec}
\end{equation}
where $p^\prime$ is the momentum of primary CR nucleus. $n_{\rm H}$ and $n(p^\prime)$ are
the density of molecular clouds and CR particles, respectively. $v$ and $c$ are the velocity of CR particles and light, respectively. The factor $\beta (=v/c)$ presents the
consequence of random-walk process of CR in galactic magnetic fields and ${\rm d}\sigma(p, p^\prime)/{\rm d}p$ is the production cross section. The density of CR depends on the frequency of supernova explosions and it is hard to estimate the specific value at pre-solar epoch.

The energy density fixed by primitive life ($I^{\rm e,\gamma,...}$) from CR electrons, photons and other components is given by the following equation
\begin{equation}
I^{\rm e,\gamma,...}=\int {\rm d}p b^{\rm e,\gamma,...}(p) \left[q^{\rm e,\gamma,...}_{\rm pr}(p)+q^{\rm e,\gamma,...}_{\rm sec}(p)\right],
\label{flux}
\end{equation}
where $b^{\rm e,\gamma,...}$ is the energy conversion fraction of primitive life, $q^{\rm e,\gamma,...}_{\rm pr}(p)$ and $q^{\rm e,\gamma,...}_{\rm sec}(p)$ are the primary (pr) and secondary (sec) CR density at momentum $p$ for different CR components, respectively. The superscript e and $\gamma$ represent electrons and photons, respectively.
Furthermore, energy storage process in primitive life may also play an important role for its survival in nebula.
The transmission of CR electrons in the living body drives the formation of an electrochemical proton gradient and finally produces ATP (adenosine triphosphate) through molecular motors.

In short, we believe that it is possible for primitive life to survive in the molecular cloud. The fact that the ancestors of Earth's life lived in molecular clouds may be responsible for many magical phenomena in cryobiology and it may also relate to the indispensability of free radicals in current lives.

\subsection{Epoch III: The formation of Solar System and the beginning of life on Earth}

Primitive lives were wrapped into the celestial bodies of Solar System formed in pre-solar nebula. So they can be in all the suitable celestial bodies or even in the interplanetary  space because some of them are blown into the interstellar space when comets graze the sun.

The environment of the freshly formed Earth was particularly harsh and not suitable for survival. The volcanos
erupted very frequently and lava flowed on the ground. Hence the temperature was so high that there was no liquid water.
Primitive life might be brought to the Earth when (together with water by comets) or after the ocean was formed.
Anyway, parts of them arrived at Earth and enliven immediately acting as LUCA. Then LUCA began their evolutionary journey on Earth.
In unsuitable environment, some primitive lives could turn into fossils and they can be found in the current planets and their satellites, dwarf planets, comets and asteroids of Solar System.

If another star was formed in the pre-solar nebula, primitive lives and their descendants can also be found in its planetary systems.

\subsection{Differences between Nebula-Relay hypothesis and panspermia}

From the above discussions, we can see that our model is somehow one kind of panspermia theory. But it also has its own unique characteristics. For ordinary panspermia theory, life originates on other planet or other planetary system and transfers to Earth through some space transfer mechanism. But in Nebula-Relay hypothesis, life occurred in the local place at the pre-solar epoch and evolved for about several billions years in pre-solar nebula to the formation of the solar system. So we also named this model as local panspermia. In other words, our model clearly indicates the origin place of primitive life, which is not available in the panspermia theory.

For panspermia theory, the carrier of seeds of Earth's life is disposable and we can't find it now. Even if a similar vehicle carries new seeds to the solar system now, it has nothing to do with the origin of life on Earth.
However in the Nebula-Relay theory, all the objects in the solar system can be the carriers of seeds and we can still look for the traces of these primitive lives nowadays.

\section{Predictions and Enlightenments}

Searching for the vestiges of ever biological activity in the pre-solar nebula directly is in a sense impossible. But such primitive creatures or/and its offsprings are universal in the solar system. We can look for their descendants or fossils in objects formed in the pre-solar nebula, i.e. all the celestial bodies in the solar system, for second best. Several possible evidences or hints had already been reported.

In ref.~~\cite{meteorites2019}, the authors investigated three primitive meteorites which are believed to be more than 4.5 billion years old and formed in the early solar system. These ancient meteorites came from the protoplanetary disk which formed in pre-solar nebula. They found that there are riboses in these meteorites which is an essential component to build RNA. Thus we suspected that the riboses are the remnants of RNA creatures in pre-solar nebula.

The most ideal celestial body to test this model is Europa, Jupiter's satellite, because there are underground oceans under its thick ice sheet. There are same seeds on Europa as the early Earth and its thick ice sheet blocked the continuous input of seeds coming from other planets in solar system or other planetary system in Milky Way.
If similar DNA/RNA/protein life forms are found on Europa, it would be a potential evidence for our model. If not, it is a strong challenge for our model.

In our model, primitive life could survive in the molecular cloud environment. And perhaps, life also appeared in the predecessor stellar system of current molecular clouds.
Hence there may be primitive life in the present molecular clouds and it is a smoking gun for our model.

In ref.~\cite{biosignature}, the authors suggest that organosulfur compounds, particularly methanethiol (such as $\rm PH_3$, $\rm CH_3SH$ and so on), might be the biosignatures of extrasolar Earth-like planets. These biosignatures may also be used to search for primitive life in the nebula.

Lots of researches had been done about the spectral signatures of RNA molecules. For example, there is a very strong absorption peak in the ultraviolet band and the spectra of RNA nucleobases are in the terahertz band~\cite{terahertz,terahertz2,rna-thz,rna-thz2}. In refs.~\cite{terahertz,terahertz2}, the authors pointed out that the terahertz circular dichroism spectroscopy can be applied to investigate the metabolic and genetic machinery of extraterrestrial life. Searching nucleotides in molecular clouds with these methods could verify the conclusion indirectly that life can exist there.

\section{Summary and Discussions}

In this draft, we introduced a new hypothesis, Nebula-Relay hypothesis or local panspermia, to interpret the origin of life on Earth.
In our model, primitive life was formed at the pre-solar epoch and spread to the pre-solar nebula. As the Solar System was born, these primitive lives were coerced into the produced celestial bodies. The journey of Earth's life is a great miracle full of many uncertainties.

Our model has some advantages comparing with the previous ones. It avoids the suspected difficulty of the beginning time of Earth's life and diversity problem of panspermia theory. It should be pointed out that there are clear theoretical expectations to be identified in our model which is discussed in detail in the third section.

This paper is somehow like a framework or roadmap about the origin of Earth's life and too many details are still unclear. Anyway, it is valuable to point out such theoretical possibility.

The redesigned 2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class has been heralded as the most technologically advanced vehicles available! New safety features, steering wheel touchpads, Car to X communication and more! The redesign made it more spacious than the previous generation. The interior is beautiful, with a very quiet cabin and high end surfaces. If there was one fault with the car it was the limited engine choices.
The 4-cylinder engine in the E300 is fantastic. It is plenty of power for daily driving and the 9-speed transmission gives it great acceleration. It is smooth, quiet and has excellent fuel economy! I have been on many, many test drives when people did not realize that that the E300 was a 4-cylinder at all. However, it is sometimes hard to convince a V6 driver that the 4-cylinder will be adequate.
The Mercedes-AMG E43 is also a great choice. The AMG-enhanced V6 delivers more power and a more aggressive feel. It has a sporty ride with amazing handling characteristics. For a client looking for a powerful and sporty E-Class this is a good option. However, it is aimed more at performance than luxury. We lacked a middle ground – more power, less sport.
Our first 2018 E400 sedans are currently in production and should arrive in the US soon. There are still productions slots available for customization that will be ready before the end of the year. So, if you have been holding off on the E-Class, now would be a great time to take another look!
The Future Vehicles section at MBUSA.com is currently full of awesome new things! See what's on the horizon!
Quite a few of our 2017 models have arrived but there are still a few we are waiting for.
The first 2017 SLC and SL models with refreshed exteriors are here. I will try to get some side-by-side pictures soon!
Several of the SUV models have revised package structures for 2017. The vehicles themselves are the same but packages were renamed.
The C-coupe, S-Cabriolet and GLE43 are all doing quite well!
We are still waiting for the GLC-coupe, redesigned E-Wagon and the 17 C-Class and S-Class vehicles. Coming soon!
Mercedes-Benz at the 2016 Atlanta Auto Show!
I went, I saw, I was impressed!
I am often asked when we will have "self-driving cars." I say that we do! A Mercedes-Benz equipped with the Driver Assistance Package has just about all it needs to drive by itself. Yes, it still requires a little input from you but it can handle the hard stuff!
When I started with Mercedes-Benz in 2003 Distronic was a $3000 option that only worked at highway speed and could only keep you a set distance behind the car in front of you. Today the Driver Assistance Package costs just about the same and has a suite of features that sound like the future! Radar Adaptive cruise control that works to a complete stop, Steering Assist, Autonomous braking with Collision Prevention Assist and Cross Traffic Detection, and on and on!
I have had a few questions about this vehicle recently. It is currently a concept car and is not scheduled to be produced. The concepts and technologies are being tested and shown as a demonstration of what could be…down the line. It looks like the future is a little early!
For Model Year 2016 Mercedes-Benz is renaming/reorganizing some of our models. If you think of the C/E/S as the building blocks and then the GL as a prefix for SUVs, SL as a prefix for roadsters and CL as a prefix for coupes, I think it makes sense!
My chart isn't perfect. I left out the S-Coupe and E-Coupe that are staying the same. Also, the B-Class is a strange case and doesn't fit here. It is a work in progress! We'll get it eventually.

A logo is more than just a picture; it symbolizes the essence of each International Student Energy Summit. When conceptualizing the theme for an ISES event, the planning committees uses the logo as a creative way to express the overall vision of what the event will address and accomplish.
The ISES 2011 logo was inspired by the theme of the event, "The Evolving Energy Ecosystem". The green tones reflect the serene nature of the West Coast of Canada (where Vancouver is situated) and the circular shape reflects an ecosystem. The gap in the circle represents the opportunity for students to take an active role as stakeholders in the energy ecosystem.
The ISES 2009 logo was inspired by the stunning Rocky Mountains. A mountain's summit is the origin of rivers that flow out through the Canadian landscape, creating and sustaining life. ISES 2009 attempted to do the same – bring together bright young minds at the summit to educate, encourage and inspire them. Following the summit, their ideas and motivation would flow back to each student's home community, effecting real change.

LLC can be tired similar to sole-proprietorship, partnership, or company (Internal Revenue Service kind 8832).
When deciding to create a LLC you will certainly need to look at all of the options that are offered to you. First is the understanding that all businesses, whether they are companies, LLCs, sole-proprietorships, or collaborations can deduct their business expenses. You do not have to develop an entity to have the advantage of deducting your costs. Having the standing of LLC or Firm might restrict your exposure to audit, but it does not give more tax deductions compared with a single proprietorship. For example, a single proprietorship could deduct any type of legitimate business expense; such as cell phone, vehicle miles, gas utilized for service travel, aircraft fare for business traveling, etc. Consult your CPA to validate that this is true for your certain circumstance.
promo coupons 100 off northwest registered agent November 2018 With either a LLC or an S Company, all the business profits as well as losses will pass-through to the proprietors of the business annually. When you submit your personal taxes, your accounting professional should offer you with a K1 for your organisation and include the profit or loss declaration within your personal tax return. This is different from that of a c corporation because a c firm exists as a lawful as well as different entity from its investors. The officers & directors are accountable for taxes, not the shareholders. The c-corporation is responsible for creating the federal government a look for all the earnings made within the tax year. The investors would certainly include on their income tax return any kind of dividends or income received from the business in the year, and also not the certain revenue earned by the service.
Articles of Company must be submitted with your Secretary of States Corporation Bureau. The Majority Of Secretary of States website supply detailed directions on how to submit, where to file, just how much to pay, as well as the yearly requirements if any type of. As an example, the State of The golden state requires all LLCs to file a yearly Declaration of Information detailing the members of the entity. This form is also required for companies.
Appears pretty simple does not it? Well establishing the LLC normally is simple, specifically if you are intending to run a single or more participants LLC. The even more complicated your business plan, the extra complicated both the operating agreement as well as posts will come to be. If you are intending on establishing a service as an LLC with members whom you do not know, you must take into consideration consulting with a lawyer to shield your civil liberties. There are lots of instances of promo coupons 100 off northwest registered agent November 2018services that don't succeed, and also instances of businesses that have management problems and differing viewpoints between participants. Safeguard your interest by investing the added money and time and also ensure that you have shielded your assets. An attorney will have the ability to assist you and also signal you to any type of pitfalls that may happen.
There are many solution companies offered and this could be a great course for you if you are intending on establishing a single member or multi member LLC. Prior to you file, do your research as well as make sure that you could trust your partners which you have the correct articles and operating contract in place.
As mentioned previously, you could create a LLC by self-filing your write-ups, pay a company, speak with an attorney, and even talk with your accountant. Regardless of which declaring technique you favor and even pick, you must think of your LLC from a tax perspective. As soon as you have chosen that an L.L.C. or firm is appropriate for you, the significant determining factor should be to lower your general tax obligations. Each state will have various tax obligation demands as well as tax rates so get in touch with your accounting professional and ask which is ideal for you. Some articles or website will claim that one is much better compared to the other, however its beyond the scope of a post to earn this insurance claim.
Lots of States now supply on-line filing methods for starting your LLC. Filing online in many states is very easy and takes just a couple of mins. You will certainly should have a major charge card or debit card to complete the procedure of establishing your LLC. As soon as you position your order online, the state will assess it and typically respond within 1-5 service days.
First, you will certainly should check for name availability. This procedure is usually simple as the majority of states provide web sites to check for readily available names. You could utilize the freely supplied devices to search for available names within your state.
You need to see your operating arrangement as a roadmap for your LLC and also an overview of take care of the challenging questions. The purpose of having a well-detailed operating arrangement is to specify how the participants and also even more importantly the business should respond to specific situations. An operating contract is needed for all LLCs despite state. An operating contract adds much less worth for a 1 member LLC due to the fact that there is no probability of argument between the members.promo coupons 100 off northwest registered agent November 2018 However, if you have 50 participants in an LLC, it will certainly be extremely important to plainly information an operating arrangement. A well composed operating agreement will certainly function as a standard for resolving many tight spots. If your operating arrangement doesn't specify just what to do in a particular circumstance you may want to call an unique conference of the participants to amend the operating agreement.
An LLC, like a company, could exist in perpetuity, or otherwise have a finishing day. An LLC could likewise be setup with an end day for dissolution. promo coupons 100 off northwest registered agent November 2018 If you intend to liquify your LLC you may end up having your company examined by the IRS. It is a truth that numerous businesses get examined when they dissolve, so opt to start and also shut your business sensibly. Always contact your accounting professional before liquifying a service.
In some circumstances, liquifying an LLC can be fairly simple, as well as it is finished in many states by filing a simple type alerting the state of the intent to dissolve.
Forming an LLC is very easy and also while you can do it yourself, you may be much better off seeking professional support when establishing your business. In some scenarios you will require the assistance of an attorney, accountant or both. Ideally after reviewing this you have a better idea concerning the demands as well as several of the possible risks of setting up and also running your own LLC. While this write-up is not indicated to have all of the solutions, it will hopefully provide you a great basis for moving on with the formation of your brand-new LLC.
LLC stands for a limited obligation company. LLC's operate similar means as a corporation, because it is a legal entity that can conduct service under its own name. An increasing number of local business owner' are choosing to develop LLC's annually however why precisely are so many local business owner currently doing this?
. By developing an LLC, keeping as well as operating it effectively, you along with any other participants (proprietors of an llc are called participants) involved should not be held directly accountable for points that may go wrong during the program of service or any of the financial obligations that are encountered. This means that individual assets of the participants are safeguarded as well as won't be utilized as a way of working out company financial debts.
So just exactly how precisely do you set about creating an LLC? Think it or otherwise if you want to develop an LLC you will certainly discover it to be a somewhat easy process and it may be among the very best points that you ever before do for your organisation. In fact all you in fact need to do is the following making it lawful as well as a reality:.
First you will certainly need to choose a name for your business. There are 2 important elements when it concerns doing this. The noticeable one is you have to make certain the name you want is offered and second of all you should make certain that it abides by your state's limited liability company statutes such as finishing with LLC. Better, some words may be restricted by your state such as financial institution or insurance coverage.
Following you should file formation documents with the state. These are typically described as the posts of organization or a certificate of development, There is a charge to submit the files with the state and also can vary in between $50 to $500. Once your LLC declaring has actually been accepted by the state you need to then produce an LLC operating arrangement. Within this contract you should lay out the civil liberties and responsibilities of each of the LLC participants.
Last but not least a few states need that you release notice that the LLC formation has been finished. Make sure to inspect if this is required by your state. Once this is completed you then simply need to get a Federal Tax ID Number (FEIN) as well as any licenses and also permits that may be required for your kind of company.
LLC's or a Minimal Obligation Company is a kind of entity that you have the ability to sign up in different states. You are able to sign up a LLC via the Assistant of States' workplace in the state that you want to develop an LLC within.
LLC's are created for many different reasons and also one major reason can be the tax advantages that can be acquired. Tax Obligations for Restricted Obligation Companies are done utilizing something called go through taxes. This suggests that the earnings made by the service in addition to tax obligations for the business would certainly be reported by the members of the Restricted Responsibility Company, it would certainly not be different from the person.
An advantage that Minimal Liability Companies also use is the freedom to run your company without the headache of consistent coverage. Unlike firms, LLC's are not called for to maintain a document of meeting mins e.t.c. This makes it a great deal much easier to run an LLC, specifically for brand-new entrepreneur that will not have time to spend making certain they did the best paper work.
Using a third party to sign up new LLC's, could be beneficial too. Not only does it eliminate the problem of paper job, however it additionally provides you the guarantee that the documentation is done appropriately, eliminating any kind of possibility of troubles in the future.
C-Corp: You are planning to increase outdoors capital from a team of financiers, believe your company will certainly grow to be an industry as well as possibly go public eventually, or you 'd like to have all tax handled at the corporate degree rather than passed thru to specific shareholders including yourself.
LLC: You anticipate your service to be smaller sized and also not have as lots of investors, and to raise little (if any) outside capital. You do not anticipate to go public yet think it is more likely you will certainly wish to pay the earnings made by the company bent on investors on a regular basis.
Still cannot make a decision? We'll specify each entity type in more information which hopefully helps with your choice making.
LLC– Restricted Responsibility Company. These entities were produced to allow entrepreneur to set-up a lawful entity that offers them private lawful and financial protections (assuming you do not co-sign for the LLC's liabilities) while maintaining a tax obligation reporting structure that permits the business proprietor to tape profits and losses on their individual taxes. Because of this, LLC's are considered "Pass Via" entities for tax obligation purposes, implying that the taxed earnings or losses for the business are passed thru to business owners, who tape these as component of their personal tax filings. The LLC does not pay corporate tax obligations for profits as well as does not accumulate losses for future tax obligation offsets. All this is passed thru to proprietors.
The LLC framework is generally best for smaller firms where there are a couple of proprietors who are proactively involved in the business operations (owners of an LLC are separated right into energetic and also passive owners, and passive owners get significantly fewer tax benefits from an LLC framework. To be considered "Active" you need to be meet the Internal Revenue Service's meaning of being meaningfully involved in the procedures of business). LLC's in the majority of states are limited in terms of the number of investors they could have, although this is transforming as well as there are means around these restrictions, however again, LLCs are designed for smaller companies so as you grow as well as your shareholder base grows, you might meet a few of these restrictions.
LLC's are additionally an excellent choice in situations where you expect the company with have considerable earnings and you prepare to pay those bent on shareholders often. Since they are "Pass Through" entities, LLC's are not strained for the earnings as well as instead this is done at the specific owner level. As a result, any type of cash from earnings in the LLC has actually been paid for in regards to taxes currently by the owners, and could be dispersed to proprietors without extra tax obligation due. This is various from a C-Corporation that encounters what is referred to as "Dual Taxes" in that the company pays tax obligations for its profits, and then shareholders pay tax obligations for any type of circulations (dividends) paid to them. It is essential to keep in mind that LLC's do not need to disperse earnings to shareholders. You can elect to keep profits in the company instead to reinvest in business (or just keep for a wet day). Each owners share of these earnings is tracked in their capital account (component of the equity piece of your annual report).
We do not have data to show it, yet have actually heard from some people that they think LLC's obtain discounted worths to some degree in a purchase, specifically if the acquirer is a C-Corp (note: essentially every public company in the United States is a C-Corp). There are 2 probable debates for this sight. Initially, because LLCs are not exhausted, they are more probable to have some funky stuff going on when it concerns capital accounts, maintained profits, and so on. Since C-Corp money teams do not understand LLCs too, they could be understandably cautious, which might affect the appraisal paid. The second factor is that it is viewed as being simpler for a C-Corp to acquire an additional C-Corp, whether it is the procedure of handling outstanding supply options, dealing with tax obligation matters for the stub year of the acquisition or various other factors, there is probably some reasonable disagreement right here. Once again, we do not have data to back this up, yet it deserves stating as you take into consideration the very best framework for your organisation.
One final note on LLCs. If you have any kind of strategies to increase money from institutional capitalists, DO NOT create a LLC. There is a basic explanation for this. Most endeavor funds are forbidden from investing in LLC's because these entities could produce UBTI (unconnected business taxable income) for the endeavor fund, as well as as a result for the funds limited partners. The majority of endeavor fund limited companions are charitable entities, as well as among the most convenient ways to mess up this classification is to obtain UBTI. Consequently, endeavor fund files most likely to terrific lengths to ensure they will not remain in a scenario where they may handle UBTI. Prior to you compose a comment below, yes, you are correct, there are plenty of examples of venture companies investing in LLCs (wait, yet you stated …). HOWEVER, in these instances, the funds in fact bought something called a "blocker corp", which is a C-Corp created for the specific purpose of buying a LLC. This "blocker corp" effectively obstructs UBTI from coming into the fund, since it is handled within the blocker corp's C-Corp framework. So, yes, they CAN make a financial investment in an LLC, it is an annoyance for venture funds to do this and they would substantially prefer you have a C-Corp. We 'd additionally say that going in to pitch an endeavor fund with a LLC framework will certainly reveal you as being rather naïve regarding companies and also endeavor funding, which might not be a major knock, but is still a knock. Given that, why provide a feasible factor for a prospective investor to look in other places?
C-Corporation. C-Corporations are what we consider "routine" company entities since these are the sorts of entities we see and work with every day. C-Corps are taxed business entities, meaning that annually they report their profits/losses and pay taxes (state as well as federal) when they make a profit, and also record a tax loss carryforward when they have a loss (these could typically be used versus future year profits for tax obligation objectives). Shareholders in C-Corps have no tax obligation ramifications from earnings or losses as an outcome of owning shares in the entity, and would just have to pay taxes if they were to receive a returns payment from the company or were to market their shares for an earnings. Furthermore, the 'Business Shroud' of C-Corps is really strong in lawful scenarios, suggesting it is basically unusual that a shareholder of a company would certainly have any legal liability for the actions of the business by virtue of simply being a shareholder. While LLCs have similar securities, they are less evaluated in the courts as well as since these entities are commonly pertaining to individual organisations, it remains in some situations feasible for plantiffs to "puncture the corporate shroud". There is a vast quantity of lawful precendent for C-Corporations, which is a crucial consideration, particularly as you company grows as well as the chance of some jerk attempting to bilk cash out of you for some phony legal claim rises (do you obtain the feeling we do not such as test lawyers?).
The key negatives for a C-Corp is that they are somewhat much more pricey to preserve from a lawful and tax obligation filings perspective, and also face "dual tax" when dispersing revenues to shareholders. This 2nd item is the most vital, and is ideal discussed with a quick instance. Take a company that pays 25% in taxes on every dollar of revenue, with shareholders that each pay taxes at a 30% reliable price. The company reports revenues of $1,000 for the year, and also pays $250 of that in taxes. The company chooses to pay the rest to shareholders, so pays $750 in dividends. Investors report these dividends as well as earnings, and are exhausted on them at the 30% price (not at the lower Funding Gains tax obligation price), so of the $750 in returns paid out, $225 goes to pay tax obligations. So, with a C-Corp, of the $1,000 in profits, $475, or 47.5% is paid in tax obligations. If the entity were a LLC, business would certainly pay no tax on the $1,000 profits. Instead, individuals would pay tax obligations on these profits at their individual tax obligation rate, so in this instance, $300 would certainly go in the direction of taxes, as well as the other $700 would certainly be paid to investors. This is a 17.5% tax hit for having a C-Corp structure, which is big (and also in our sight a silly procedure, but we question this obtains altered anytime soon, or ever before).
Right here is fortunately. If you are planning to elevate financial backing or money from Angel capitalists, it is not likely you will certainly ever before pay returns anyways, so you ought to not allow the double tax concern bother you excessive. Investors expecting making multiples on their initial investment are going to have a hard time gaining an acceptable price of return based upon returns payments. While every favored financing framework we have ever seen has rewards as part of the deal, these are non-cumulative (or need to be) and are actually just in position as a defense mechanism for capitalists (to prevent usual owners from paying out all of the capital in a service to themselves).
On equilibrium, we would suggest you go with a C-Corp unless you are a local business or have a small group of owners. This is one to go over with your co-founders and lawful experts, however if you would inspect any one of the boxes in the fast summary above for C-Corp, we would certainly suggest going that route.
Quick note: It is possible to convert an entity from a LLC to a C-Corp. It could be a pain to do this, yet it could be completed, so do not stress if you are already created as a LLC, you can alter it later on– we 'd recommend you intend to do it together with an outside financing round as it is not an economical procedure. Allowing prospective financiers know you are a LLC however plan to convert with the funding can aid with the slight knock we assume you'll obtain for being a LLC to begin with.
Second fast note: If you prepare to self-fund business for a few years prior to raising outdoors resources and also are into optimal tax obligation preparation (and also have a good tax and also business lawyer), consider structuring as an LLC in order to recognize very early year losses personally prior to you increase outside loan. Plan to convert when your organisation starts to create a revenue or when you elevate outdoors resources (whichever precedes). This just functions if you are self financing with a significant amount of money, and will certainly call for added work (and lawful charges), so we question this is the appropriate course for concerning 97% of the people reviewing this write-up, yet we such as tax optimization so figured we would certainly state it for the 3% of you out there.
Facilitates outside investment – lots of financiers could just buy C-corporations.
. Prospective clients could really feel that a company is a lot more substantial as well as much more "actual" than an LLC.
May get a lot more pricey and also challenging as company grows.
Can be structured to appear like a corporation, but that includes extra complexity as well as price.
To your 2nd inquiry, you are better off employing a lawyer to do it for you if there is greater than one person (meaning you will need an Operating Agreement) or there is any type of complexity.
I concur that perhaps one of the most integral part is preparing an excellent operating arrangement, services like lawful zoom will certainly not give you with a custom Operating Arrangement as well as accountants don't truly like preparing governing records.
An operating agreement that is customized to your LLC must be prepared as well as submitted by your business attorney to make sure that it is precise as well as total.


The Cowling Arboretum is an 880-acre tract of land in central Minnesota.
The soundscape was monitored with a weatherproof recorder permanently stationed in the Arb from September, 2012 through November, 2012. Daily and seasonal changes in the soundscape are depicted in graphs under Data. This information was attained solely by audibility analysis: I listened to over 36hrs of audio to create the graphs and in sum have listened to over 60hrs of sounds from the Arb. For a detailed description of the study, read the information under Cowling Arboretum Study.
Additionally, unique sounds recorded over the study's duration are under Audio Archive. This library contains a small portion of the over 1tb of recorded audio. As a result, of the immense amount of data, the Audio Archive will continue to be updated, as I further analyze the audio.
To hear a how the soundscape in Best Woods changes over 24hrs, listen to the following audio. Each audio collage is a composition of 24 ten second samples. Each sample represents one hour. Thus, at the end of every ten seconds, a new hour of the day begins. In each track, the audio starts at 12am and proceeds to 12pm. Audio collages for each month of the study have been composed, and also combined into an overall Fall season representation of what a day in the Cowling Soundscape sounds like in the Fall.
When listening, notice how the soundscape changes over each month. In September, more natural sounds are audible. By October, these have diminished, and in November minimal natural sounds exist (Coyotes are heard near the end of this track!). In contrast, human-generated sounds are constantly audible. These changes parallel the graphical data presented on the Results and Data pages.
* Headphones or loudspeakers are recommended, since the early morning and late evening hours are relatively quiet.


Grape Seed Extract: Probably the most widely and longest studied botanical is the Vitis Vinifera. Provides anti-inflammatory properties, help prevent skin aging, savenge radical oxygen species and inhibit UV radiation-induced damage. Proanthocyanidins – a group of polyphenolic bioflavonoids found in grape seeds and their stem ells are responsible for its powerful antioxidant effect and its anti-tumor activity.
Growth Factors: A naturally occurring substance capable of stimulating celluar growth and proliferation. Medical studies indicate that Growth Factors are unparalleled in enhancing dynamic and rapid cell activity!
L-ascorbic acid: is a water-soluble antioxidant that is also highly susceptible to oxidation. Although water-based vitamin C topical products can be effective, their shelf life is typicaly not more than one year. This important melanogenesis-inhibiting, collagen-building anti-inflammatory vitamin is best delievered to the skin in an ahhydrous base.
Stem cells: The role of cutaneous stem cells is to replenish skin as it undergoes normal function and wound repair. The majority of these cells reside in the basal layer of the epidermis. When a stem cell divides, the daughter cells have the potential to either remin a stem cell, like the parent cell or to differentiate into cells with a more specialized function, known as progenitor clells.
The bulk of research has been focused on three rich sources: phtyo stems cells: grape, lilac and swiss apple.


Construction work on stands at both ends of the ground are on schedule, but it is the larger western stand, along White Avenue, that Ballarat firm Nicholson Construction and City of Ballarat were confident to have a full skeleton by the festive break – should all work remain on track.
WE SHOULD see the complete structural shell of Eureka Stadium's impressive western grandstand by Christmas.
Construction work on stands at both ends of the ground are on schedule, but it is the larger western stand, along White Avenue, that Ballarat firm Nicholson Construction and City of Ballarat were confident to have a full skeleton by the festive break – should all work remain on track. Installation of rafters on the first bay of the stand, near the netball court, starts on Wednesday.
Already this key structural bay starts to give a sense of the true enormity of the project when The Courier toured the site on Tuesday.
Underneath, this stand will house three toilet blocks and food trucks on game day.
There will be 18 rows of seating with the first bay, next to the new shell of the lift well, shows the outline of new coaches boxes and space for broadcast rooms.
Precast concrete panels made off-site has helped ensure progress on the stand remains on schedule amid a wet Ballarat winter.
Foundation work is now underway for the northern grandstand, stretching across the face of the social club and access to team rooms where previous seating and concourse had been in place.
Opposite, on the showground side of the ground and next to the mound, is where a new video scoreboard will later be installed.
The smaller eastern grandstand, which hugs the boundary at the Creswick Road end, features foundation work and steel postings for bays to house eight rows of seating.
When complete, the curved roof on the eastern stand will extend to ground level, featuring a covered pedestrian concourse on the stand's outer.
Works to resurface, realign and re-size the ground to Etihad Stadium dimensions were complete in the last football off-season.
Preliminary grandstand construction was underway, where possible, between fixtures during the season.
The $14 million stadium project will deliver match-day facilities to AFL standard, including 5000 under-cover seats, with City of Ballarat partner Western Bulldogs to host Port Adelaide in a round 22 fixture next year. This will be the city's first AFL premiership season fixture.
Western Bulldogs have committed to hosting AFL premiership season matches at Eureka Stadium, as an alternate home base, for the next five years.
Bulldogs fans are increasingly calling past to check progress.
Stadium construction is part of a $31.1 million state government Eureka precinct, including new rooms at CE Brown Reserve and the Ballarat Sports and Events Centre upgrade.


From performance to painting and sound to sculpture, CAST OF MY SHAPE presents five artists in their personal dialogue with self and surroundings.
As a cast being remedial and supportive while constraining and suffocating, each artist will express how alternatively the perception of themselves influences or is influenced by their different casts: the tangible space of our own limited casted body and the material space in which it evolves.
How does our fluctuating mental state affect our different casts' and self perceptions? What triggers a cast to mutate from a simple surrounding residue to a mind objectifying undergoing players?
Challenging the groundings of our structural standardised environment, the artists will seek to dive into the fragile oscillating dialogue of objectification and empowerment.
CAST OF MY SHAPE intends to reflect on the tension, dependant of perception, lying between the fluidity of ourselves and the rigidity of our surroundings.

Am I what OxFizz is looking for?
Where and when is this event happening?
1. What is this event?
We know that admissions tests have become increasingly important in applications to Oxford and Cambridge.
We've seen how many of able students from disadvantaged backgrounds are falling at this hurdle. These students have less knowledge of the test layout, the types of questions they can be asked, and where to find effective resources to help them with their test preparation.
We want to level the playing field - equipping these students with the knowledge, skills and confidence to achieve their potential in their admissions tests.
At this event, our volunteers will be running workshops with our students, helping them to understand their test and to practice questions in an encouraging environment.
This event is the third of OxFizz's 2019 access programme - which is helping hundreds of high-achieving students from disadvantaged backgrounds with their university applications.
2. What would I be doing as a volunteer?
At this event, our volunteers will be matched with students who are applying to the subject they studied at university.
You'll be running workshops with these students, helping them prepare and practice for their admissions tests.
We'll support you with a detailed workshop outline to work from - and you'll choose some topics and practice questions to focus on with your students.
You'll set some questions for students to complete in timed conditions during the event - and help students create an 'action plan' at the end of the day, with SMART goals to work on going forward in their application.
3. Am I what OxFizz is looking for?
We're looking for volunteers who are passionate about improving access to top universities for students from disadvantaged backgrounds.
Most of our volunteers are recent graduates from top UK universities - but we're interested in hearing from anyone who feels like they could help with our university access programme.
We welcome volunteers who studied a full range of university subjects - and we anticipate that they'll be lots of demand from students for support in Medicine, Law and Economics for this event.
4. Where and when is this event happening?
The venue for this event is the King Solomon Academy in Paddington (full address: Penfold Street, Marylebone, London, NW1 6RX). This is a 3 minute walk from Edgware Road.
The full event is scheduled to run from 09.30 - 15.00, though shorter days are possible.
Pastries for breakfast and a buffet lunch will be provided and, to further thank you for your time, the first round is on us at a nearby pub. The dress code is smart casual please.
