House flippers burnt by budget blowouts, lengthy delays
Viva Hyde
18 Sep 2021, 8:44am
Flipping homes for fast profit is no longer a quick fix as renovators face budget blowouts.
House flippers hoping to turn a fast profit from the red hot property market risk being burnt by budget blowouts and lengthy delays as the construction industry races to keep pace with huge demand for home renovation projects across the Coast.
The popular investor strategy of renovating and selling within a set timeline for a handsome return has been thrown a curveball by rising material costs and tradies already juggling an oversupply of work, according to Herron Todd White's monthly review.
"The main pitfall in renovating now is if there is a change in market conditions and buyer demand falls, price expectations on the finished product may no longer be achievable.
"This may lead to financial hardship for the renovator if the sole aim was to borrow and flip the property for a profit," HTW director Janine Rockliff said.
This four-bedroom home at 76 Nobby Pde, Miami has been renovated in popular coastal style. It is marketed for auction by Justin Haynes of Amir Prestige.
Owners of worst house in best street make $346,000 profit in seven months
Gold Coast mayor Tom Tate lists his mountain lodge retreat for sale
QLD's ultimate adrenaline junkie home for sale
Low interest rates and government stimulus including the HomeBuilder grant have tempted many home owners to take on fixer-uppers over the last year, while more time spent at home has put the focus on improving living spaces.
"Getting hold of materials is a big challenge with many projects started and finish times being blown out dramatically," Ms Rockliff said.
Real estate agent Conner Malan, of Ray White, said investors who properly staged and marketed property for sale were making good profits without the risk of flipping.
The owners of this derelict home at 24 Yacht St, Southport planned to rebuild but instead sold for land value and profited more than $300,000 in just seven months.
Mr Malan and colleague Travis Miller recently marketed a derelict property at 24 Yacht Street, Southport which was dubbed, "the quintessential worst house in the best street".
The owners had planned to re-build but instead opted to cash out quickly while buyer demand remained high and sold for $346,000 more than they had paid just seven months earlier.
"The market is moving so quickly that just by presenting the property correctly vendors are making a big margin," Mr Malan said.
"I've had clients who have made $300,000 to $400,000 just by doing the lawns, staging the home and with the right marketing campaign and so we are seeing less and less flips because you can make profit either way with no risks.
"Timing is more important because supply is so limited right now," he said.
Four-bedroom waterfront home at 19 Notre Dame Ct, Varsity Lakes has been fully renovated for sale.
Master Builders QLD Gold Coast regional manager Adam Profke said building material costs had reached record highs this year, with price hikes across the board of at least 10 per cent and in some cases up to 40 or 50 per cent.
Reinforcing steel, for example, now costs $2,100 per tonne — up from $1,200-$1,400 per tonne in January, he said.
"If a client wanted a renovation done urgently or quickly which is the name of the game in flipping then that is going to be problematic," Mr Profke said.
"There is a real risk you may not get the return you are expecting because if you are starting a property today it is highly likely you will experience material delays, and you might not be able to get timber and frames and roofing material until February next year."
The Varsity Lakes home is marketed by Conal Martin, of Kingfisher Realty, with a $1.849m price tag. It last sold in May for $1m.
Builders had also been hurt, with some forced to personally cover the cost of finishing a job that had been delayed if a fixed price contract was signed early in the year.
Demand was expected to pique again when QLD borders opened to southern investors who had put projects on hold during lockdown.
The report found a significant uptick in renovation on the southern Gold Coast, with 20 per cent of valuations between Currumbin and Mermaid Waters undertaken for properties where projects were planned, underway or had been recently completed. The majority of these were for homes priced between $600,000 and $1.2m.
"This sector of the market seems to be young couples, families or builders taking advantage of low interest rates and trying their luck with a product that will obtain a premium on sale from the owner-occupier market," Ms Rockliff said.
This fully renovated Hamptons-style home at 5 Twenty Sixth Ave, Palm Beach sold for $1.825m via Josh Willatt, of McGrath.

2. Do not renovate to your own specific taste
3. Target the family market or high-end renovations for a higher paying purchase

However, in terms of influencing energy technology deployment, the next president will have a lot less influence than you might expect.
When it comes to educating U.S. citizens on energy's relationship to the broader economy, though, the next president could have a great impact. However, I'm not holding my breath. In fact, I'd say it's likely not going to happen.
The president could have some influence on manufacturing and trade for solar photovoltaic (PV) panels by, for instance, imposing tariffs on imported products. Chinese companies presently dominate the solar manufacturing industry, and there are only a few domestic companies account for the majority of (about one gigawatt) of U.S.-based PV module manufacturing.
In energy markets, high-cost marginal producers are supposed to produce last. This holds for oil, natural gas and electricity. So today's low gas prices mean there is less financial incentive to drill the most expensive sources of oil. Any thought that Saudi Arabia (a low-cost producer) has some obligation to keep U.S. oil shale and Canadian oil sands (high-cost marginal producers) in business are a farce.
Saudi Oil Minister Ali Ibrahim Al-Naimi recently said, "Inefficient, uneconomical producers will have to get out. This is tough to say, but that is a fact." He might as well be Walmart founder Sam Walton or Henry Ford.
Every politician and energy advocacy organization tells us that there will be more jobs if we invest more in oil, gas, renewables, etc. However, nonenergy workers are able to afford to pay only so many energy sector workers to produce energy.
However, that trend of decreasing food and energy costs is over for the U.S. and around the globe. This raises the question as to what kind of economic growth (if any) can occur once food and energy costs are no longer decreasing as they have been for 70+ years.


New two place trailer for (2) FX HO Cruisers?
Thread: New two place trailer for (2) FX HO Cruisers?
I am looking at buying a new two place trailer for my (2) 2005 Yamaha FX HO Cruisers. The trailer I have now is a Shorelandr, don't know the year, and it sits very high and is really hard to launch and load. Also the skis only have about an inch between them and is a pain in the @$$ to get them on there right the first time.
Does anyone know of a good two place trailer for my waverunners? I was thinking of one with a "cradle" design, but I can't find a reputable company that sells one. I will be using it in both fresh and salt water.
I know this has been discussed before, I already used the "search" button. So don't harass me! There wasn't any good information about my situation.
Can some of you with two 3-seaters post some pics of how much room is between the two of them when they are on the trailer? Thanks!
another cheaper alternative is McClain Trailers.
I love the Triton trailers! I was looking at getting an Elite WC-II but it doesn't have a "cradle" design and I am worried I am going to have the same loading and unloading problems. My problem right now is the trailer sits too high and if I try to do a beach launch it is damn near impossible. If any of you have this trailer, do you have problems loading and unloading? Can you post some pics of how high the skis set on it? Thanks!

I would be selling the old trailer if I do get a new one. I don't know how much I would sell it for. Once I find out if I am getting a new one I will let you know.
Have you looked at the Extend A Hitch?
The Triton Elite WC-2 frame height (top of frame rails to the ground) is 16-17", depending on which wheel size you have. I have 13" wheels.
The bunks are adjustable for spacing and height, and sit about 4" above the frame, give or take. So say 20-22" from the ground to the bunk upper surface.
You would need another 8-12 inches of water to float the PWC (maybe less if you can slide it off, winch it back on), so about 30 inches of water depth.
Trade Two Place trailer for single.

New No Surprises Act Guidance -Frequently Asked Questions Bolster Final Rule
By Tia L. Martarella on August 25, 2022
Posted in Consolidated Appropriations Act, Employee Health & Welfare Plans, Employer Health and Welfare Plan, No Surprises Act
The No Surprises Act (Act), which establishes protections for health plan participants from surprise medical billing, was passed in late 2020 as part of the 2021 Consolidated Appropriations Act. On October 7, 2021, the Departments of Labor, the Treasury, and Health and Human Services (collectively, Departments) issued Interim Final Rules implementing certain provisions of the Act. On February 23, 2022, and then again on July 26, 2022, the District Court for the Eastern District of Texas vacated several key provisions of the Interim Final Rules. Following the February 23 ruling, the Departments issued a Memorandum Regarding Continuing Surprise Billing Protections for Consumers, stating the Departments' intent to act "promptly" to release revised guidance under the Act.
Making good on that intent, on August 19, the Departments released the Requirements Related to Surprise Billing: Final Rules (Final Rules) and simultaneously issued guidance in the form of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) to clarify the Final Rules.
The FAQs cover a range of topics, some of which are summarized below:
Applicability to No-Network Plans
The Act's protections against surprise billing generally apply when a participant receives emergency or air ambulance services from an out-of-network provider or certain non-emergency services from an out-of-network provider at an in-network facility. The FAQs clarify that because all emergency and air ambulance services provided under a no-network plan are necessarily out-of-network services, the Act applies to all emergency and air ambulance services provided under a no-network plan.
The protections applicable to non-emergency services from an out-of-network provider at an in-network facility will never be triggered because a no-network plan does not have in-network facilities.
Applicability to Closed-Network Plans
The Departments clarify that the Act's requirements apply to plans that do not cover out-of-network services. Therefore, a closed-network plan may be required to pay for out-of-network emergency or air ambulance services.
Emergency Services Furnished in a Behavioral Health Crisis Facility
The Departments recognize that individuals receiving care for a behavioral health crisis may not be best served in a traditional hospital setting. Thus, the FAQs provide that the Act's requirements apply to coverage for emergency services provided in response to a behavioral health crisis in an out-of-network facility that is licensed by the state to provide services in response to a behavioral health crisis, whether or not the facility is licensed as an emergency department or facility or whether the facility's license includes the term "emergency services."
Methodology for Determination of QPA
Generally, the qualifying payment amount (QPA) is the median contracted rate for a service or item. The QPA may determine the applicable rate for cost-sharing. In addition, the QPA will help determine the appropriate provider payment rate during the Federal IDR Process. The FAQs clarify that plans that vary their contracted rates based on specialty must calculate the QPA separately for each specialty if there is a "material difference" between the median contracted rates for a service code between providers of different specialties. Whether there is a "material difference" is a facts and circumstances determination.
This determination methodology prevents plans from calculating contracted rates in a way that artificially lowers the values. For example, suppose a plan pays a higher contracted rate for an anesthesiologist to provide anesthesia and a lower contracted rate for all other providers to provide anesthesia (because other providers rarely provide anesthesia). In that case, the plan must only use the anesthesiologist contracted rate to determine the QPA for an out-of-network anesthesiologist providing anesthesia.
Plans have 90 days to come into compliance with this requirement.
Federal IDR Process
The Federal IDR Process establishes an arbitration process for plans and providers that cannot agree on pricing for out-of-network emergency and air ambulance services and for certain out-of-network non-emergency services rendered at in-network facilities. The Interim Final Rules used the QPA as the primary factor in the arbitrator's decision under the Federal IDR Process. The District Court for the Eastern District of Texas struck down the presumption in favor of the QPA in the Interim Final Rules. Upon revision, the Final Rules specify that arbitrators should "select the offer that best represents the value of the item or service under dispute after considering the QPA and all permissible information submitted by the parties."
The FAQs further expand on the Federal IDR Process, including requirements for initial payment amounts, deadlines for initial payments or denial notices, and other notification requirements.
Transparency in Coverage Machine-Readable Files
The Transparency in Coverage Rules (TiC Rules), issued before the Act, require plans to publicly post machine-readable files, including negotiated and historical out-of-network rates for specific services and procedures effective as of July 1, 2022. The Departments included TiC guidance in the FAQs.
The FAQs clarify that the TiC Rules do not require a plan without a public website to create a website to post the information required by the TiC Rules.
In addition, the TiC Rules do not require an employer to post a link to the machine-readable files on its client-facing public website. Instead, a plan may satisfy the TiC posting requirement by entering into a written agreement under which a service provider posts the machine-readable files on its public website on behalf of the plan. The plan will remain liable if the service provider does not fulfill the posting requirement.
We are available to help plan administrators understand and implement the New Rule's requirements. Please contact a Jackson Lewis employee benefits team member or the Jackson Lewis attorney with whom you regularly work if you have questions or need assistance.

A solar power car uses the sun's energy instead of non-renewable energy sources such as gasoline, which makes it an attractive option for our planet's future. Why don't we see more of them?
Solar energy cars are outfitted with hundreds of solar cells that "catch" the sun's rays, converting them into electricity, and powering all of the car's systems without emitting harmful substances into the atmosphere.
As you can see, solar cars are by far the most distinctive looking vehicles made to date!
They're aerodynamically designed for all around efficiency, including a wider surface area intended to expose the solar cells to as much sunlight as possible.
Some people might say they resemble a fancy racing car with their unusual shapes. This special design helps to reduce wind friction, or drag, which makes the car slice through the air more efficiently.
A solar power car is significantly lighter in weight than a gasoline-powered vehicle, but has many of the same features. For example, a solar car has a steering wheel, brakes, seats, a motor, and several others similar to a gas-powered car. Solar cars currently built by universities and car manufacturers are prototypes of what solar cars might be in the future.
The research being conducted is helpful for determining what the advantages and disadvantages of a solar power car might be and how these eco-friendly modes of transportation might be improved in order to become the rule, rather than the exception.
How Much do Solar Powered Cars Cost?
The first solar car released on the market, which was around January 2008, had a sticker price of roughly $100,000. The price range currently is anywhere between $100,000-$200,000.
As you can see, these vehicles are not attainable for anyone earning an average yearly income, which is the majority of the population!
Despite this current limitation, more people are becoming interested in solar energy cars, and are beginning to share information about the process, and even to build solar power cars.
In many ways, solar cars are not yet a practical choice as primary modes of transportation, but who knows what future discoveries will bring?
There is always hope that the materials required to manufacture solar powered vehicles will become more affordable and that many of us will soon have the option of driving eco-friendly cars that are powered naturally by the sun's rays.

Discussion in 'Mac Basics and Help' started by appletimeuser, Dec 28, 2005.
Hi There. I am selling a 5-month old laptop on eBay and I would like to clean my laptop from any files, information, or data that I entered while I used the computer. Are there instructions anywhere to do that? Like I want to make it be brand new completely... Do I have to reinstall the operating system? Or is there a different way to do so?
What does it mean reformat?
if you have the install disk, just reinstall the os and it will help you through erasing the entire disk and installing the os fresh.
Okay... and how can I backup all my files or whatever?
How do you back up currently?
EDIT: This is specifically how to reformat... sorry, the other posts came up while I was writing it.
1. Put the system install / restore CD or DVD that you have in the drive.
2. Launch System Preferences -> Startup Disk. Select the CD / DVD from here, and click the restart button inside the Sys Prefs window.
3. The computer will shut down and then boot off of the install disc.
4. When you go through the prompts, you will get to a window that has an "Options" or similar button, I think, in the lower left corner. Click it.
5. You will get a list of ways to install. One of them will be something similar to "Erase and Install." Follow the directions. You can use any of the methods of erasing. The ones that write zeros to the disk are more secure (prevent you from losing your data), but may take a long, long time.
The ones that write zeros to the disk are more secure (prevent you from losing your data), but may take a long, long time.
What he meant by this, was it helps prevent your data from being recovered and 'stolen'.
you need to backup your data before reformatting and reinstalling. otherwise all your data will be gone. as for how to backup, you can always a cd(s) of your data.
Inserting the disk into the drive. It will ask you what you want to do with it. Select the option to use finder to burn it. It should mount on the desktop. Open it, and it appears as a folder window. Drag all the files you want on it into the folder. When you're ready, you click the burn icon in the upper right of this folder.
That's a really bad idea that should be rectified immediately. What happens if your hard drive fails?
A couple hundred dollars invested now will save you a headache and (potentially) thousands of dollars in the future.
You should buy an external firewire hard drive and back up your data periodically to that. Is it 100% effective? No, that hard drive can fail too, but the chances of both going simultaneously are small, and it's certainly more effective than not backing up at all.

Bralos railway station () is a railway station in Bralos, Greece. The station opened on 8 March 1904., along with the rest of the line. It is served by Regional trains to Athens and Leianokladi.

History
The station opened on 8 March 1904, along with the rest of the railway line connecting Piraeus and Athens with the city of Larisa, a line that was later connected to the city of Thessaloniki. In 1917, the station became a crucial point of the Entente supply lines to the Macedonian Front, as the Allies used the Taranto to Itea (by boat) to Bralos (by road) and then the Bralos to Salonica railway line to send supplies to the Macedonian Front.

In 1920, Hellenic State Railways or SEK was established, and the Athens to Thessaloniki line became part of their network. In 1939, the station was renamed Gravia. During the Axis occupation of Greece (1941–44), Athens was controlled by German military forces, and the line was used for the transport of troops and weapons. During this period (and especially during the German withdrawal in 1944), the network in the area of Bralos was severely damaged by both the German army and Greek resistance groups (notably, Operation Harling).

On 12 January 1947, 300 guerrillas led by Captain Diamantis of the Democratic Army of Greece took the Bralos railway station by surprise at 14:00 local time, when the train pulled into the station. The guerrillas destroyed the radios, called on the passengers to get off the train, and separated the civilians from the soldiers. Captains Stathakopoulos, Nikolopoulos and gendarme Kastanas, who resisted the takeover, were killed in the ensuing exchange of gunfire. The guerrillas remained at the station for an hour and a half, blew up the chimney of the locomotive and set fire to the train, resulting in the burning of two wagons. They then left in cars, taking with them about 20 captives, various supplies and the station's cash register, and took refuge in the mountain of Oiti. Due to the civil war, the track and rolling stock took some time to replace, with normal service levels resumed around 1948.

In 1970, the Hellenic Railways Organisation S.A. or OSE became the legal successor to the SEK, taking over responsibilities for most of Greece's rail infrastructure. On 1 January 1971 the station, and most of the Greek rail infrastructure was transferred to OSE, a state-owned corporation. Freight traffic declined sharply when the state-imposed OSE monopoly for the transport of agricultural products and fertilisers ended in the early 1990s. Many small stations of the network with little passenger traffic were closed down. It was during this time that buslike shelters were installed on both platforms.

In 2001 the infrastructure element of OSE was created, known as GAIAOSE, which assumed responsibility for the maintenance of stations, bridges and other elements of the network, as well as the leasing and the sale of railway assists. In 2005, TrainOSE was created as a brand within OSE to concentrate on rail services and passenger interface. In 2009, with the Greek debt crisis unfolding, OSE's Management was forced to reduce services across the network. Timetables were cutback and routes closed, as the government-run entity attempted to reduce overheads. In 2017, OSE's passenger transport sector was privatised as TrainOSE, currently a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane; the infrastructure, including stations, remained under the control of OSE. The station closed on 10 February 2018 for major engineering works linked to the construction of the new high-speed line Athens-Thessaloniki, reopening in July 2018. In July 2022, the station began being served by Hellenic Train, the rebranded TranOSE

The Cultural Association of Brallo intends to establish a Folklore-Railway Museum hosted by an OSE wagon in the station.

Facilities
The station is still housed in a 20th-century brick-built station building, but this is now disused. The station is currently (2022) not equipped with toilets or a staffed ticket office. Access to the platforms is via crossing the lines. At platform level, sheltered seating is available but there are no Dot-matrix display departure or arrival screens or timetable poster boards on any platforms. Currently, there is no local bus stop connecting the station.

Services
It is served by regional services between Athens and Leianokladi.  The station sees around 2 trains per-day.

As Far as the Fans Are Concerned, the Rock Hall Needs Bon Jovi, The Moody Blues, Dire Straits, The Cars & Judas Priest
December 06, 2017 -Rock Hall-, Bon Jovi, Cars, Dire Straits, Judas Priest, Moody Blues, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
There are no guarantees. The fans only get one vote that gets added it to all of the other music industry people and critics who have a word in who gets into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame but, if they had their say, the fans would induct Bon Jovi, The Moody Blues, Dire Straits, The Cars and Judas Priest.
The fan vote is now over and the final inductees are expected to be announced early next Wednesday (December 13) morning.
The top four on that list were pretty much in that position from the point where voting started but the fifth spot was battle between Judas Priest, the Zombies and the Eurythmics with Priest finally winning out by 9,000 over the Zombies and 87.000 over the Eurythmics.
As for the first time eligible nominees, Radiohead came in twelfth and Rage Against the Machine in thirteenth with just 15% of the votes given to leader Bon Jovi.
The final vote:
Bon Jovi - 1,162,146
Moody Blues - 947,795
Dire Straits - 613,749
The Cars - 552,733
Judas Priest - 538,508
The Zombies - 529,478
Eurythmics - 451,997
J. Geils Band - 349,319
Depeche Mode - 302,144
Nina Simone - 184,628
Kate Bush - 179,337
Radiohead - 176,310

Q: Getting segmentation fault in import gi.repository in Python PyGobject? I have installed gstreamer from source using cerbero with the help of this link (https://gstreamer.freedesktop.org/documentation/installing/building-from-source-using-cerbero.html?gi-language=c)
All the packages are installed in the cerbero subdirectory (cerbero/build/dist/linux_x86_64) and the gstreamer version is updated to 1.18. I have installed on Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
As gstreamer version 1.14 is available with the ubuntu 18.04 distribution, to make the system pick the latest version of gstreamer, the cerbero shell needs to be activated on the terminal using the command.
$ cerbero shell

After this the terminal console is like
[cerbero-linux-x86_64] name@sample-Latitude-5400:~/cerbero/

$ gst-inspect-1.0 --version
gst-inspect-1.0 version 1.18.4
GStreamer 1.18.4 (GIT)

I want to run a python script that imports gi (Gobject introspection) to access the gstreamer library. But when I import gi.repository package, it give the segmentation fault.
GI_TYPELIB_PATH environment variable is also set.
$ echo $GI_TYPELIB_PATH
cerbero/build/dist/linux_x86_64/lib/girepository-1.0

The starting lines of code.
import gi                             # Works fine
gi.require_version('Gst', '1.0')      # Works fine
from gi.repository import Gst         # Segmentation Fault

Following is the traceback when I run the python script (python 3.6)
Fatal Python error: Segmentation fault

Can anyone suggest what could be the possible reason ?

Suge Knight Is Suing Chris Brown Over 2014 Club Shooting.
June 27, 2016 streetaddictz Home 0
Co-founder and former CEO of Death Row Records Suge Knight is suing Chris Brown and singer Pia Mia, who was hosting a party in 2014.
Sources say that the founder of Death Row Records filed the lawsuit in Los Angeles as he awaits trial on charges he mowed down two men outside a Compton burger stand last year, killing one of them.
Suge claims since the shooting he's had major health problems.
Knight, 51, claims in his filing that Brown, 27, "was a known gang associate with a history of violence and had a well-documented track record of hosting events and parties in which violence frequently erupted."
Suge claims breezy's pre-MTV VMA Awards event was very professional at the West Hollywood hotspot in August 2014 and his security did a horrible job which is the reason he got shot 7 times .
According to the docs, Knight says Brown and 1 OAK Nightclub should have had better security in August 2014 when Suge was shot multiple times inside the club. He was hit in the abdomen, chest, and left forearm.
Knight's new lawsuit is seeking damages in excess of $25,000.

Millions of people will soon see an end to one annual challenge – completing a self-assessment tax return.
Around 12 million people fill in a self-assessment tax form every year, but, from 2016, people will be given individual digital accounts that will bring together all their tax details.
Approximately five million businesses and 10 million individuals will benefit initially from the new accounts system, which will be up and running by early next year, according to the Treasury.
By the end of the next parliament, more than 50 million individuals and small businesses should be able to manage their tax affairs online.
Announcing the new accounts in his budget, the chancellor described the massive IT project as "a revolutionary simplification of tax collection".
"Tax really doesn't have to be taxing, and this spells the death of the annual tax return," he said.
The accounts will bring together information held by HMRC about earnings, savings and pensions and "new data from third parties" to give an overall picture of one's tax affairs. Those with more complex tax circumstances will be able to tell HMRC about additional income online.
Higher-income families will be among those to benefit. Since last year, families where one parent earns more than £50,000 have had to fill in a self-assessment return, since child benefit payments are reduced above this threshold. Under the new system, these payments should be calculated automatically.
Both individuals and businesses will have the option to "pay as you go", said HMRC, to prevent a one-off tax bill at the end of the year. Those who don't want to use the digital accounts will still be able to file their self-assessment returns in the traditional way.
The announcement received a muted welcome from tax experts.
"Few of Britain's five million self-employed will mourn the passing of the annual tax return," said Jamie Morrison, private client partner at HW Fisher & Company. "The mad rush to dig out receipts in January is an annual torture for many.
Kay Ingram, divisional director of individuals savings and investments at financial planners LEBC, said: "The proposal to scrap the annual tax return may appear to be welcome news, but it could leave taxpayers worse off.
Mark Abbs, a tax partner at London-based chartered accountant Blick Rothenberg LLP, described the five-year time frame to roll out the digital accounts as "ambitious".
HMRC said it will publish a timetable later in the year setting out the policy and administrative changes needed to implement the reform.

Los Angeles, CA (SportsNetwork.com) - Blake Griffin scored a game-high 39 points to lead the Los Angeles Clippers past the Los Angeles Lakers, 118-111, on Friday. Jamal Crawford had 22 points and five assists off the bench, Josh Redick supplied 15 points and Chris Paul scored 12 points with 10 rebounds for the Clippers, who were coming off a 93-90 win over Oklahoma City on Thursday. Jamal and Blake made some unbelievable shots down the stretch, said Paul. We know we can score. Our defense has to be our backbone. DeAndre Jordan finished with 11 points and 13 rebounds in the win. Jordan Hill paced the Lakers with 23 points on 10-of-15 shooting, Kobe Bryant had 21 points and seven assists and Jeremy Lin contributed 17 points and nine assists in the teams third straight loss to start the season. Our effort was great, Lakers head coach Byron Scott said. In the second half, we made a couple of boneheaded mistakes. Both teams were playing aggressive. Crawford scored five straight points to pull the Clippers within two and consecutive dunks from Jordan tied the game at 97-97 with 7:55 to play. After the Clippers went ahead on Crawfords free throw, Griffin dished a pass to Crawford, who hit a three from the right side for a 112-109 score with 1:37 remaining. Bryant responded with a fadeaway jumper from a severe angle. Pauls jumper was blocked by Hill, but Griffin jumped on Bryants air ball and knocked down two free throws after getting fouled at the other end with 21.3 to play. Redicks four free throws sealed the win. The Clippers used an 11-1 burst in the first to take an 11-4 lead just over three minutes in. Their lead swelled to 15 points and they finished the frame with a 31-22 advantage on 12-of-21 shooting (57.1 percent). Bryant capped an 11-point swing with a 3-pointer to get the Lakers within 45-42 with under five minutes to play in the first half. Griffin, however drained a shot from beyond the arc with 8.5 seconds remaining and the Clippers took a 62-56 lead into the break. The Lakers charged out of halftime to take a 74-67 edge. Lins running jumper sparked a 18-4 outburst that featured eight points from Hill. Griffin took matters into his own hands by supplying 11 straight Clippers points to trim the deficit to 79-78. Robert Sacre responded with a slam and two free throws and Hills layup restored the Lakers lead to seven points. Crawfords triple right before the buzzer pulled the Clippers within 90-86 heading into the final stanza. Game Notes The Lakers shot 51.2 percent from the floor (42-of-82), while the Clippers made 47.9 percent of their shots (34-of-71) ...

It's 2:00 a.m. and I can still hear the sound of honking from underneath the 33rd floor condo apartment where I am staying in midtown New York. This really is a city where people never sleep.
Spending a busy weekend in NYC is an adrenaline burst, a stimulating onslaught of art, food, people, lights, shopping and yellow taxi cabs.
After a flight to Newark, and train into the city, our first stop is high tea at the St. Regis's swanky Astor Court, an open-style lounge off the main lobby of the hotel. What a gentle way to descend on the city.
My 84-year-old mother refers to this as "tea in three layers." We share the Lady Astor's and the Caroline's Tea, beginning with some delicious and dainty finger sandwiches that include marinated shrimp, Scottish smoked salmon and duck prosciutto. Then we move to scones with clotted cream, followed by a plethora of sweet delicacies—dark chocolate mousse, pavlova, New York cheesecake, and that's only a sampling. In between bites are sips—of English Breakfast tea and Veuve Clicquot. The stress is literally peeling away.
We then head to the MoMa a couple of blocks away to see Items: Is Fashion Modern, an amazing exhibit showcases 111 items of clothing and accessories from the 20th and 21st Century. These items include everything from Nikes, to the pearl necklace, clogs, platform shoes, the French sailor shirt (remember the blue and white stripes), the Swatch watch, hijab, jumpsuit, hoodie and the trench coat.
If this list doesn't conjure up memories of your own both cringe-worthy and stylish fashion moments, in the entrance to the exhibit is a slideshow of more than 300 photos projected onto the wall showcasing "real" people wearing the various items in the show.
Everything about this exhibit is about everyday fashion that we can all relate to—where we can see ourselves, and also learn about the social and historical context of the various items on display. We see how maternity clothing evolved, as it became more acceptable for pregnant women to remain in the workplace longer. We learn about the origin of the Snugli baby carrier, inspired by the slings mothers would carry their babies in in Africa. We see how the hoodie was originally worn by athletes to keep warm, and then spread to university students, to people wanting to conceal their faces, to Mark Zuckerberg as the icon of Silicon Valley. Each item has its story.
A couple of days later, we returned to the MoMa to see the Stephen Shore photography exhibit, his collection of American photos of the last five decades. I loved how accessible they are—of people, streets, billboards, nature. I was particularly intrigued by one series, in which he documents exactly what he sees on a road trip without editing his experience – the motels he slept in, the food he ate, the people he encountered, the toilets he used. Just as people tend to write differently than they speak, Shore describes how he wants to avoid any interpretation or alteration of what he sees: he simply offers "a visual diary" of his experience.
The Whitney Museum of American Art was another great destination, and perfect to combine with a walk on the High Line, which is a New York city park that runs for 2.3 km above the streets, built on an historic freight rail line that culminates in the museum. The Whitney's seventh floor exhibit, "Where We Are," a title derived from a W.H. Auden poem, is a selection of paintings from the Whitney Collection from 1900 to 1960. It explores five central themes—family and community, work, home, the spiritual and the nation. Throughout, these themes are explored through iconic works from the Whitney collections, including ones by Edward Hopper, Andy Warhol, Frank Stella and Georgia O'Keefe.
Close by in Chelsea are also many smaller art studios that are fascinating to wander through. We pass a long line of people waiting to see 88-year-old Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama's new Infinity Mirror Rooms exhibit—demonstrating how committed New Yorkers are to their art, and possibly also to the selfie.
We chose to skip the line, but were still able to see Kusama's Festival of Light exhibit, a stunning infusion of colour and patterns, extending from floor to ceiling, with polka-dotted sculptures of flowers in the centre of the room.
With literally thousands of choices for eating in the city, it can be difficult to decide where to go. These were our choices.
For coffee, I loved La Colombe Coffee Roaster, a perfect meeting spot near the High Line that serves delicious draft lattes, which are frothed café-style drinks in different flavours. For lunch, you can't go wrong at the gallery restaurants: I loved Untitled at the Whitney for its friendly service, bright open space and my delicious kale and honeynut squash salad. And for dinner, I would definitely go back to Brooklyn to eat at the Glasserie (so named because it was formerly a glass factory). Its Mediterranean sharing plates features some excellent Middle Eastern dishes—from lamb kofta skewers to delicious griddle bread, and a roasted cauliflour with cured Labneh (a soft cream cheese) and marjoram.
And although we didn't end up getting anything at the Roth Bar inside the Hauser & Wirth gallery, this café is cosy, casual and very cool.
Your visit begins in the main floor art-deco lobby, and from there you head upwards. On the second floor is the sustainability exhibit where we learn how its 2009 retrofit reduced its energy usage by over 38 per cent. The exhibit on the 80th floor describes the building's construction, which miraculously happened in only one year.
Once back on the ground, wander along Fifth Avenue to see all the Christmas windows displays. Although walking can be slow—there are literally hordes of people taking selfies in front of the displays—there are some impressive ones. At Lord & Taylor, for example, "The Best and the Brightest" features five windows that are like looking into snow globes—with views that include a modern-day Santa, a New York city escape, and a vintage-style train.

216 students from Carroll, Haralson and Heard County Schools completed the requirements to receive their high school diplomas through the support of the Carrollton area program. 12 for Life will recognize 386 graduates for 2017, including 51 students from the program's Florence, Ala. location, 94 through the Great Promise Partnership and 25 from the first graduating class of Textron Specialized Vehicles, Inc.'s Reaching Potential Through Manufacturing (RPM) program in Richmond County, Ga. These graduates mark a total of 2,000 students who have completed 12 for Life to date.
The 2017 ceremony was hosted by West Georgia Technical College. Attendees included students, teachers, parents, school system representatives, Southwire employees, community leaders and friends.
The graduation event was led by Dr. Doug Wright, 12 for Life/Step Into STEM project director for Carroll County Schools. Guest speakers included Cowart and Kathleen Edge, Southwire's executive vice president of Human Resources. The keynote address for the ceremony was presented by Fredrick Bailey, a mentor, author and motivational speaker. Bailey's mission centers on equipping individuals to be agents of change.
Through his words, Bailey inspired the graduates to focus on the impact of their attitudes and to think about the unique qualities that define leadership. Each graduate was also presented with a signed copy of his autobiography, Waiting on the Rain.
In addition to the recognition of each graduate, several awards and scholarships were granted during the ceremony. The Academic Achievement Award, given to the student with the highest GPA in the program, was presented to Jordan King, Central High School, and Kalijah Boykin, also from Central High School, received the 12 for Life Standard of Excellence Award. 23 students were recognized by Blair Parker, operations manager of Carrollton's 12 for Life facility, for their eligibility for a Southwire Scholarship. The Harold H. Charles Memorial Scholarship was presented to Shawn Brown, Mt. Zion High School, and Bob Uglum presented the first Carrollton Golden K 12 for Life Scholarship to Bailee Galathe of Temple High School.
Throughout their time at 12 for Life, many of the graduates also completed college courses and received certifications relative to their chosen career pathways.
The ceremony closed with inspirational remarks by graduates Erika Dixon and Tiler Harpe.
12 for Life will honor the graduates at its Florence location in an upcoming ceremony later this month.

More than 100 people have applied for what is probably the most powerful non-executive directorship in the country, as a director of the Court of the Bank of England.
The posts - there are two vacancies - were advertised for the first time ever by the Treasury last month and an official said the response had been "very positive indeed".
The Treasury is now weeding out the more-obvious green-ink applications and will have a shortlist prepared soon with the selected candidates moving on to the interview stage. It is hoped that the final two choices will be made by the end of this month.
The vacancies arose on the retirement from the Court of Sir Colin Southgate, chairman of EMI and the Royal Opera House, and Sir David Lees, chairman of GKN and Tate & Lyle, who had both completed their maximum two three-year terms of office.
The Treasury advertisement said: "The posts require persons of undisputed integrity, understanding and authority."
It also made it clear that Court members serve in a personal capacity, not as representatives of particular interest groups or organisations. The Court is meant to be representative of the whole economy, geographically and sectorally, across industry, commerce and finance.
Given Southgate and Lees' backgrounds the new appointments are also expected to come from the ranks of the captains of industry. The advertisement stated: "Candi-dates will have substantial business experience either as chair or chief executive of a large organisation or by having built up a significant enterprise themselves."
The Court is responsible for managing the affairs of the Bank and has particular responsibility for its performance and controls. It also reviews the procedures of the monetary policy committee but has no involvement in interest rate or monetary policy decisions.
The Court meets for one morning each month and its directors receive an annual fee of £5000, about a fifth of what a non-executive of a fairly small public company might expect to receive. Directors can also be asked to sit on the Court's audit and remuneration sub-committees and some of them are trustees of the Bank's pension fund.
Governor Eddie George and his deputies David Clementi and Mervyn King are the only executive members of the Court. The 16-strong group of non-executives includes Frances Heaton, Andrew Buxton, Howard Davies, and Bill Morris.
Appointments are made by the Queen.
