It's the Rover graveyard
THOUSANDS of new MG Rover cars stand rusting at two disused airfields — a sad memorial to the fallen motor giant.
Some of the vehicles — worth £100million — have been stockpiled for months, depriving the firm of much-needed cash.
Administrators selling off MG Rover's assets have to decide who owns the 10,000 cars at two Oxfordshire sites in Upper Heyford and Chipping Warden.
Distribution company Axial, which owns the airfields, says it is owed £1million by MG Rover, and has refused to release the vehicles until it has been paid.
But workers sacked from the firm's Longbridge plant say they should get the cars.


The history of Greenville Classical Academy would not be complete without mentioning its predecessor school, Providence Center for Classical Studies (PCCS). PCCS began in 1994 as a home school tutorial and was incorporated as a 501 (c) (3) non-profit private school on February 26, 1996, becoming the first Classical Christian School in the Upstate. The school first met at 115 Buist Avenue, Greenville, serving students in K5 – 12th grades. In August of 1997 PCCS moved to the facilities of Woodruff Road Presbyterian Church (2519 Woodruff Road, Simpsonville, SC). In the winter of 2004, the parents learned the school was struggling with finances. On April 27, 2004, a fundraising banquet with newspaper columnist Cal Thomas was held to raise funds and support to keep the school open. The results of the fundraising effort were unsatisfactory, and in May of 2004 the announcement was made that the school would close at the end of the 2003-2004 school year (June 2004).
After it was announced that PCCS would close its doors, a group of parents began talking about their desire to continue classical, Christian education in the Greenville area. Existing parents at PCCS called a prayer meeting in May of 2004 for the purpose of praying about starting a new classical Christian school. At the meeting a steering committee was formed to continue discussions about starting a new school. Members of the steering committee included Kevin Hendricks, Chad Cousins, Tim Holt, Robbie Davis, Steve Sorensen, Nancy Blough, and Drew Robison. The steering committee held regular meetings, created by-laws and started getting commitments from families who would enroll their children as students in the new school. After a financial analysis, it was determined that the new school would serve K5 – 8th grades. The leadership of Woodruff Road Presbyterian Church agreed to have the new school meet in the church facilities. The name of Greenville Classical Academy (GCA) was agreed upon by the Steering Committee. Mr. Michael Sisk, who had been a teacher at PCCS, was named the Interim Headmaster of the new school. Several of the teachers from PCCS agreed to teach at GCA and new teachers were hired. Greenville Classical Academy was incorporated by the State of South Carolina as a 501 (c) (3) non-profit private school on June 23, 2004. A parents' meeting was held at Woodruff Road Presbyterian Church for the purpose of electing a Board of Directors. The first Board consisted of five members - Drew Robison, Nancy Blough, Kevin Hendricks, Chad Cousins, and Perry Earle.
Greenville Classical Academy began classes on September 7, 2004 with 54 students in grades K5-8 meeting at Woodruff Road Presbyterian Church in Sunday School rooms in the children's wing, Sunday School rooms off the gym and a two-room portable building located behind the church buildings. The school office and Headmaster's office were located in a space behind the church kitchen.
During the first 12 years, four different people served as the Head of School. Mr. Michael Sisk served as Head of School for two years from 2004 - 2006. Mr. Mark Klein served as Head of School for two years from 2006 - 2008. Mr. Tim Cockrell served as Head of School for seven years from 2008 - 2015. Mr. Eric Woernle became Head of School in August of 2015 and continues today.
GCA added a grade each year, so it included K5-12th grade by the 2008-2009 school year and had its first two graduates in May of 2009. A set of used modular buildings were purchased by the school in 2009 and moved to an empty one-acre lot behind the church buildings. The modular buildings were called the "Quad" because it contained four classrooms. 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th grades moved into the Quad and a ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on October 16, 2009.
Because of a drop in enrollment over two years due to the Recession, the school began looking for ways to run more efficiently. Through prayer, investigation, discussion, and visiting another classical University-Model school near Rock Hill, SC, GCA decided to transition its Upper School (7th-12th grades) into a University-Model School beginning with the 2010-2011 school year. The school joined the National Association of University Model Schools (NAUMS) and followed the University-Model philosophy of offering classes three-days-a week on Monday/Wednesday/Friday and having students do additional coursework on Tuesday/Thursday away from campus. This method allowed GCA to hire part-time teachers which helped the school become more efficient financially. The Upper School (7th-12th grades) grew rapidly the next three years, growing from seven (7) students in 2010-2011 to 21 students in 2011-12 and 38 students in 2012-2013. At the same time the lower grades were growing and the school added K4 in 2010 and a second K5 class in 2012. The school began looking for additional classroom space to accommodate the growth.
In 2012, the board learned that Computer Dynamics, a branch of General Electric, located on Pelham Road in Greenville would be closing and wanted to sell their moduar office building. When GCA said they couldn't afford to pay anything for the building, G.E. offered to donate it and pay $13,000 toward having it moved. GCA accepted the offer. The land behind the Quad was graded and footers were poured and the nine trailers that made up the building were moved to the space in September of 2012. Over the next two and a half years, the building was gutted and remodeled from dozens of small offices to eight classrooms, a large hall and two large bathrooms. The Lower School (two K5's and 1st - 6th grades) moved into the new space in April 2015. The classrooms that were vacated in the Quad were renovated during the summer of 2015. The school office, the K4 classroom and two multi-purpose classrooms began occupying the Quad in August 2015.
Now serving over 200 students in K4-12th grade, GCA continues to grow about five to ten percent each year. We are thankful to God for His gracious provision of students and their parents who want to partner with GCA in the education of their children, as well as God's provision for exeptional administration, teachers, other staff and facilities.


When it comes to calculating your company's Corporation tax liability, there are certain items of expenditure which can be deducted when calculating taxable profit and other items of expenditure which cannot.
Knowing what your company can and cannot deduct from its profits for tax purposes is important as fundamentally it will reduce the amount of tax payable.
Staff entertaining is an allowable cost for tax purposes, provided there is no element which relates to client entertainment (see below). There may however be personal tax implications on the employees if the entertaining exceeds £150 (per person, per year) or is not open to all staff members. For example, a Christmas party held for staff would qualify.
Certain types of termination / redundancy payments are allowable for tax purposes. However, the rules around this are quite complex, so please contact us if this applies to your business.
It's important to note that the purchase of a company car, will unlikely qualify for the annual investment allowance and that relief will be given at a rate of either 18% or 8% each period, depending on the CO2 emissions.
Wages that are accrued in the accounts (such as a bonus) are allowed a tax deduction so long as the amount is actually paid within 9 months of the year end.
Expenditure on repairs can be deducted from a company's tax liability provided there is no major enhancement to the item being repaired. For example, restoring a broken machine or redecorating the office.
A provision is included in the financial statements and allowed for tax if the conditions leading to the cost existed at the balance sheet date, it is probable that it will be paid and that a reliable estimate can be made. Any general provision such as a general bad debt provision would not be permitted.
If you write off a customer debt which is no longer recoverable a deduction is allowed for tax. This is only for specific customer debts.
As mentioned above depreciation is disallowed (as this area of accounts is subject to judgement), capital allowances are allowed as a tax deduction instead.
If you incur expenditure on legal fees relating to capital expenditure, for example on the purchase of an investment property or on advice regarding shares, this expense is disallowed for tax purposes.
Expenditure on clothing is disallowed unless it is uniform which bears the company logo or is protective clothing.
Expenditure incurred on customer or supplier entertaining is not allowed for tax purposes. For example, taking your customer out for a meal.
Business gifts are not allowed for tax purposes unless it costs less than £50, it is neither food nor drink and it bears the business name. For example, stationary bearing the company logo.
If the car the company is leasing has emissions which are more than 110g/km (for leases entered into after 1 April 2018) then 15% of the lease cost in the profit and loss account is disallowed for tax.
Any fines or penalties that the company pays will not receive a tax deduction. For example, a speeding fine.
Any pension contributions which the company pays during the accounting period is allowable, however if you decide to accrue for any pension contributions that the company pays for after the accounting period has ended, this is disallowed for tax purposes. For example, a company with a December 2018 year end has accrued for £5,000 of pension contributions for one of its Directors. The company pays the £5,000 in March 2019 following the year end. Although the £5,000 would be included as an expense in the 2018 accounts, it would only receive tax relief in the 2019 accounts.
Although a salary is an allowable business expense, dividends are not.
If you have a query relating to an expense which is not listed above or would like to check how something should be treated for tax purposes please do call one of the tax team on 01202 717867 and we will be happy to help.

Q: boost::asio::io_context::run_one_for() fails to send large buffer I need to get synchronous I/O but with following features:

*

*interruption by other thread

*support for timeouts

So, I use async I/O from Boost.Asio and execute it by boost::asio::io_context::run_one_for().
There is an example of such implementation of resolve, connect, read and write.
long const DefaultTimeout = 50;

namespace asio = boost::asio;
using boost::asio::ip::tcp;

template <typename T>
void PerformIO(T &Object, long Timeout)
{
    auto &Context = Object.get_executor().context();
    Context.reset();
    if (!Context.run_one_for(std::chrono::seconds(Timeout)))
        throw std::exception("I/O operation was timed out");
}

template <typename T, typename TSuccessFlag>
void PerformIO(T &Object, long Timeout, TSuccessFlag &Success)
{
    PerformIO(Object, Timeout);
    boost::this_thread::interruption_point();
    if (!Success)
        throw std::exception("I/O operation was not successful");
}

tcp::resolver::results_type Resolve(tcp::resolver &Resolver, std::string const &Host, std::string const &Port)
{
    bool Resolved = false;
    tcp::resolver::results_type Endpoints;
    Resolver.async_resolve(Host, Port,
        [&](boost::system::error_code const &Error, boost::asio::ip::tcp::resolver::results_type Results){ Endpoints = Results; Resolved = true; });
    PerformIO(Resolver, DefaultTimeout, Resolved);
    if (Endpoints.begin() == Endpoints.end())
        throw std::exception("Not resolved");
    return Endpoints;
}

template <typename T>
void Connect(tcp::socket &Socket, T const &Endpoints)
{
    bool Connected = false;
    asio::async_connect(Socket, Endpoints,
        [&](boost::system::error_code const &Error, boost::asio::ip::tcp::endpoint const &Endpoint){ Connected = true; });
    PerformIO(Socket, DefaultTimeout, Connected);
}

template <typename T>
size_t ReadSome(tcp::socket &Socket, T &Buffers)
{
    size_t Bytes = 0;
    asio::async_read(Socket, Buffers, asio::transfer_at_least(1),
        [&](boost::system::error_code const &Error, std::size_t BytesTransferred){ Bytes += BytesTransferred; });
    PerformIO(Socket, DefaultTimeout, Bytes);
    return Bytes;
}

template <typename T>
size_t Write(tcp::socket &Socket, T &Buffers)
{
    size_t Bytes = 0;
    asio::async_write(Socket, Buffers,
        [&](boost::system::error_code const &Error, std::size_t BytesTransferred){ Bytes += BytesTransferred; });
    PerformIO(Socket, DefaultTimeout, Bytes);
    return Bytes;
}

It works fine for small data, but it fails if I try to send large buffer of data like this:
// tcp::socket Socket;
// char const *Buffer;
// size_t BufferSize = 1000000;
Write(Socket, asio::buffer(Buffer, BufferSize))

I think the reason is the implementation of boost::asio::io_context::run_one_for(). There it is (boost 1.67):
template <typename Rep, typename Period>
std::size_t io_context::run_one_for(
    const chrono::duration<Rep, Period>& rel_time)
{
  return this->run_one_until(chrono::steady_clock::now() + rel_time);
}

template <typename Clock, typename Duration>
std::size_t io_context::run_one_until(
    const chrono::time_point<Clock, Duration>& abs_time)
{
  typename Clock::time_point now = Clock::now();
  while (now < abs_time)
  {
    typename Clock::duration rel_time = abs_time - now;
    if (rel_time > chrono::seconds(1))
      rel_time = chrono::seconds(1);

    boost::system::error_code ec;
    std::size_t s = impl_.wait_one(
        static_cast<long>(chrono::duration_cast<
          chrono::microseconds>(rel_time).count()), ec);
    boost::asio::detail::throw_error(ec);

    if (s || impl_.stopped())
      return s;

    now = Clock::now();
  }

  return 0;
}

Notice the limit of 1 second. I think sending large buffer taking more than 1 second and execution stops. I can execute Write() sequentially by 64k-bytes and it works. But I think it will fail if connection will unable to send 64k-bytes per second. So, I need a better solution.

A:
I think the reason is the implementation of boost::asio::io_context::run_one_for(). There it is (boost 1.67):

No. The reason is that boost::asio::[async_][read|write][_.*] are composed operations. run_one[_*] only runs a single handler so it wouldn't complete a composed async operation.
Note also, that boost::asio::write is a synchronous operation, regardless of any of the surrounding logic, so your timeout doesn't even come into play.
You could just wrap an async operation in a local io_context and run it to completion using a deadline (so, run_for instead of run_one_for).
You can glean a similar concept from How to simulate boost::asio::write with a timeout - though it is strictly (a lot) better to use run_for(...) instead of the run_one() (for the reason explained above. At the time I wrote the other answer, run_for() didn't exist, and I might have to update that answer anyways because I might have missed the problem with composed operations back then).

Peter Criss Rips KISS For Not Giving 'Ten Minutes' To Fans For Hall Of Fame
Source: www.ultimateclassicrock.com } Photo: Getty Images
On the eve of Kiss' induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Peter Criss had some strong new words for Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons for their decision to not play at the ceremony.
"What's wrong with giving ten minutes of your time for the forty years that you've given us?" the band's original drummer asks on the upcoming episode of VH1 Classic's 'That Metal Show.' (Without seeing the interview, one presumes Criss might mean "…for the forty years the fans have given us?") He spoke those words at the end of the show, when he addressed Kiss fans everywhere to say that he was upset at being excluded from performing with the group on April 10. The 'That Metal Show' episode will air Saturday, March 22 and 11:00PM Eastern.
Reminiscent of last year's scenario with Guns N' Roses, this has turned into a situation where no one is likely to walk away happy. Ace Frehley recently said the current incarnation of Kiss is "half a Kiss cover band.' Stanley called the Hall "tainted, corrupted and distorted," which led to the Hall's CEO to pen a statement explaining why only the original members would be inducted. Last week, Simmons and Stanley exchanged words with critic, Hall of Fame committee member and longtime Kiss hater Dave Marsh.
Even though there will be no reunion of the original lineup at the induction, Criss and Frehley still have the memories of when they performed at 'That Metal Show' host's Eddie Trunk's party last October. It was the first time they had been on stage together since 2000.

Food on Friday: A chunk of bakin' love
Jay Senter Apr 19, 2013 - Food
By Julia Westhoff
I wasn't planning on posting a chocolate chip cookie recipe this week, I really wasn't. It seems so boring and cliched; everybody already has their own favorite recipe. But when I found myself baking these cookies for the third time in two weeks, I thought it was time to share.
Not share the cookies, mind you – I've eaten almost all of them myself and I'm guarding the rest under lock and key. But share this recipe, which I've been searching for for years and years.
You see, back in St. Paul, where I grew up, there is a bakery called Bread and Chocolate. They make the most exquisite chocolate chip cookie there – crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, buttery and just amazing. I'd never found a cookie that quite lived up to those ones. They were all either too dry, too dense, or too thick.
But we had David Lebovitz's cookbook a few weeks ago (from which we made like 10 kinds of ice cream. We're usually healthier than this, I swear) and he had a recipe for chocolate chunk cookies that looked pretty darn good. He said that chocolate chunks were preferable to chocolate chips, because they melt better. He also suggested letting the dough rest for up to 24 hours before baking. I decided to go ahead and give it a try.
Fast forward to today. As I type this, I am eating the aforementioned cookies (with this batch I've replaced the chocolate chunks with M&Ms). I've got one batch of dough in the freezer, ready to be baked at a moment's notice, and I've hidden one bag of cookies to ensure they're not all gone by tonight.
He adds nuts to his cookies, but I usually leave them out. Either way, follow this recipe and you're in for the best chocolate chip cookies of your life. You heard it here first, folks.
Recipe's after the jump.
David Lebovitz's Chocolate Chunk Cookies
1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature
2 cups nuts, such as walnuts, pecans, almonds, or macadamia nuts, toasted and coarsely chopped
14 ounces bittersweet or semisweet chocolate, coarsely chopped into 1/2- to 1-inch chunks
1. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt.
2. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or in a bowl by hand), beat together the butter, brown sugar, granulated sugar, and vanilla on medium speed just until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time until thoroughly incorporated, then stir in the flour mixture followed by the nuts and chocolate chunks.
3. On a lightly floured work surface, divide the dough into quarters. Shape each quarter into a log about 9 inches long. Wrap the logs in plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, preferably for 24 hours.
4. Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat the oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats.
5. Slice the logs into disks 3/4 inch thick and place the disks 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. If the nuts or chips crumble out, simply push them back in.
6. Bake, rotating the baking sheets midway through baking, until the cookies are very lightly browned in the centers, about 10 minutes.
7. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets until firm enough to handle, then use a spatula to transfer them to a wire rack.

What can be learned about possible hidden assets in an interview with the accusing spouse?
In the normal course of a divorce hidden asset investigation, one spouse (usually, but not always, the wife) makes a claim that assets have been taken by the other spouse or not disclosed as required by the divorce process. In this situation, the accusing party will hire an investigator or ask his or her attorney to make inquiries. The accusing party can be an invaluable source of information during these investigations. Below is a mock interview with a wife in a divorce proceeding in which both parties accuse one another of hiding assets. Note that the investigator is seeking limits. That is, he is attempting to limit the scope of what has to be reviewed. The investigator also is seeking direction. A key part of this inquiry, and perhaps all inquiries of this type is, "Follow the money." Investigator: You have told your attorney that your husband is hiding assets. Wife: Yes, and my husband says that I'm hiding assets. Investigator: Are you hiding assets? Wife: Well, there are some things my grandmother gave me that I haven't listed. They are keepsakes. There are some figurines and some costume jewelry -- nothing of any significant value. Investigator: What makes you think your husband is hiding assets? Wife: He makes a lot of money, but when we disclosed our assets there is hardly anything. I'm going to walk away with nothing.	Investigator: If your husband is hiding assets, do you know where he might be hiding them? Wife: No, I don't know. Investigator: What does your husband do for a living? Wife: He's a branch manager for a communications company. Investigator: Do you work? Wife: Not since we moved here when my husband took the new position. Investigator: Does the family have any other source of income, other than what your husband makes from the communications company? Wife: No. Investigator: Does your husband have any hobbies? How does he spend his time off? Wife: He shoots in contests. Investigator: Like trap shooting? Wife: Trap shooting, black powder, quick draw. You name it. Investigator: What caused the divorce? Wife: My husband is having an affair. Investigator: When did you know you were getting a divorce? Wife: When I caught my husband and the girlfriend together. Investigator: How long ago was that? Wife: About a year-and-a-half. Investigator: Do you know how long the affair had been going on before you discovered it? Wife: I'm not sure, but I think about three months. Investigator: How was the marriage before the affair? Wife: We had our ups and downs, but I thought everything was going pretty well. My husband got promoted to branch manager, so we had a lot more money. Investigator: Tell me about your lifestyle. Did you take expensive vacations? Do you have domestic help? What kind of a house do you live in? Do you eat out or did you mostly cook for you and your husband? Wife: We had taken trips to Europe and the Grand Caymans in the two years before we separated. I had a housekeeper who came in three times a week. I had to have help; the house is huge. She would prepare an ethnic meal for us at least once a week. We would eat at a restaurant two or three times a week. Investigator: Tell me how you and your husband handled your finances. Wife: His check would be deposited directly into our checking account. I would then write checks for the house. Any major expenditures that had to be made, we would decide together. We both had ATM cards and would take about a hundred dollars a week out for lunches and miscellaneous things. Investigator: What kind of financial information do you have? Do you have the bank statements or the check registers? How about tax returns? Wife: I have the bank statements for forever. He has the tax returns. What are the check registers? Investigator: They are where you recorded each check that you wrote. They include the date, the payee, and the amount. Wife: We had duplicate checks. Every time I wrote a check, a carbon copy was created. I don't think I threw anything out. Investigator: Bring them in for the last two years. We're going to put you to work. Wife: Okay. Investigator: Is your attorney getting the tax returns? Wife: Yes, but it's going to take some time. Investigator: If they are joint tax returns, you had to sign them. You can go to your CPA and get copies. It might help to speed things up. Wife: Okay. As noted above, in this example the investigator is seeking general information in order to create a framework in which to conduct an investigation. The information gathered not only gives the investigation direction, but also limits it to those areas most likely to produce results. Let's see how this information helped to shape the investigation.
The investigator questions the source of the couple's income. The wife's response limits the investigation to the fiscal relationship between the husband and the employer. This relationship would include his base earnings and might include bonuses, perquisites, stock ownership plans, commissions, expense accounts, or any of the huge variety of fiscal incentives that employers offer to employees. The investigator learns that it is unnecessary to review the wife's sources of income because she is not employed outside of the home. The investigator also discovers that the husband does not own a business that generates income, does not have a trust fund that is supplementing his income, and does not hold a second job.
The investigator attempts to develop a sense of the couple's lifestyle, including hobbies and leisure activities. He recognizes that comfortable living is expensive, and that the wife may have an inaccurate perception of how expensive the couple's lifestyle was. Therefore, the possibility exists that the wife's claims are without foundation. Assets cannot be hidden if they have been spent. The wife also provides the investigator with a clue in the form of the girlfriend. The investigator is aware that husbands often spend considerable sums of money to conduct affairs of this type. He also knows that husbands usually try to conceal these expenditures from their wives. Therefore, it is possible that there was a means of funding the affair that did not involve the couple's joint checking account. Finally, the investigator discovers that the husband's hobby, guns and competitive shooting, could serve as a repository for hidden assets. Competitive firearms can be incredibly expensive. The failure to disclose or the undervaluing of these assets could materially misstate the value of the marital estate.
The investigator understands that in order to misdirect or conceal assets, a party must have control of those assets. Through this interview, the investigator discovers that the husband had control of his earnings until they were deposited in the couple's joint checking account. After the earnings were deposited, both parties had equal access to the funds. This means that a misappropriation may have happened either before or after the funds were deposited, but only the husband could have misdirected funds before the earnings were deposited.
What is the date of first indication?
Everything on the pay stub is fairly obvious to anyone who has ever been paid wages, except the notation "SS1." Let's assume, also, that further inquiry reveals that this entry signifies a deposit to a savings account held in the husband's name only. At the time of its discovery the account has a balance of approximately $5,000. Analysis of all of the pay stubs, however, reveals total deposits to the account over a two-year period of $39,000.
How can the divorce lawyer for the accusing spouse make use of this information?
A savvy divorce lawyer can make good use of the information gleaned from this investigation. Continuing with our example, remember that the wife has shown that the husband had access to $39,000, of which $34,000 is missing. There was also evidence that the husband intended to keep the diversion of income and the savings account secret. In a perfect world (or even a marginally better one) the judge would consider that this is enough evidence to indicate that the husband had received $34,000 of the marital estate and that this amount should be credited to his side of the equation. Often, though, it is not that simple. Some courts are reluctant to make this kind of judgment even when faced with evidence of access and attempts to conceal. Knowing this, a smart divorce lawyer will try to find a way to use information like this to force the issue with the opposing spouse. For example, assume that the husband in our case claimed that he spent the missing money on living expenses since the separation and that he had destroyed any evidence of the nature of the expenditures, stating, "Who saves grocery receipts?" Assume, also, that under the governing law of the jurisdiction, expenditures for necessities of life are allowed without these types of expenditures being assessed to the spending party. If the expenditures were shown by the husband to be for necessities for himself or his family, no further action would be warranted, and the expenditures would be excluded from consideration in the marital estate division. If, however, the funds were spent on luxuries, hobbies, or a new love interest, the wife's claim that they should be part of the husband's portion of the marital estate would have substance. Assume further that during a review of the pay stubs, the wife and her investigator discovered that the husband was taking vacation pay at a time when he and the wife were not on vacation together. This information would allow the wife's attorney to pursue a line of questioning related to the girlfriend, even in a no-fault state where evidence related to an affair is irrelevant. The husband's deposition (sworn testimony under oath) might go something like this: Wife's Attorney: Were you on vacation from February 14th through February 25th of last year? Husband: Yes. Wife's Attorney: Where did you go? Husband: Mexico. Wife's Attorney: Did you go alone? Husband: No. Wife's Attorney: Who did you go with? Husband: A friend. Wife's Attorney: What is the name of your friend? Husband's Attorney: Objection; relevance. Wife's Attorney: How did you pay for the vacation? Husband: I don't know. I just paid for it. Wife's Attorney: We have all of your duplicate checks and other financial records here. Could you show us how you paid for the vacation? Husband: The vacation wasn't paid for out of the checking account. Wife's Attorney: How was it paid for? Husband: It was paid for from my savings account. Wife's Attorney: The savings account we forced you to reveal? Husband: Yes. Wife's Attorney: Did you pay for Angela's plane ticket to Mexico? Husband: Yes. Wife's Attorney: So Angela went to Mexico with you? Husband: Yes. Wife's Attorney: Have you spent any other funds in the savings account on vacations for you and Angela? Husband: Yes, but just some weekend stuff. Wife's Attorney: Have you purchased any gifts for Angela from the savings account? Husband: Yes. While the husband's affair is not legally relevant in this case, evidence supporting the dissipation of the marital estate is. Thus, as the questioning continued, the wife's attorney would ask about the trips the husband and Angela had taken together, and perhaps gifts to Angela and living expenses paid for her. At the end of each topic, the wife's divorce attorney would ask where money came from to pay for the item. Thus, if the case went to trial, the judge would hear all about the affair and how it was financed, in detail. Even in a no-fault state, judges are not immune to evidence of one spouse partying to the detriment of the other. Accordingly, in this example, the husband would be well advised to accept the assessment of $34,000.

Australian government papers reveal race law's slippery slope
Posted by admin978 on January 1, 2017 · Leave a Comment
Former Attorney General Michael Duffy, who drafted Australia's race law
Government documents released yesterday by the National Archives of Australia reveal that the notorious Australian race law – section 18C of the Racial Discrimination Act – was the subject of intense discussion among ministers before it was introduced, and as originally drafted would have been far less restrictive.
However as many countries have found, once setting off down the path of restricting free speech in the interests of racial harmony, there is an inevitable slippery slope towards politically correct tyranny.
The original submission to Paul Keating's cabinet in July 1992, drafted by then Attorney General Michael Duffy and only made public yesterday, stressed that "for an act to amount to racial vilification it must be an act or conduct that is likely to lead to incitement to hatred, contempt or ridicule and should not be relatively minor or be of the nature of a lighthearted racist joke."
During their discussions of the draft, ministers went on to emphasise that prosecution should "require a series of precise conditions to be met", including "actual offensive intent". UK readers will note that this would have made the measure more similar to the Race Relations Act 1965, the first UK law specifically to outlaw "incitement to racial hatred".
However as with the several later extensions of that landmark legislation, Australia's Section 18C developed into a grotesque tyranny, restricting legitimate political debate and in extreme cases even being used against comedians and cartoonists.
Last year the well-known cartoonist Bill Leak was the target of a complaint under Section 18C over the cartoon (above) depicting an Aborigine, or what is now called an "indigenous Australian". The complaint was later dropped after a public outcry over abuse of the law. The university student who made the complaint has since sought to present herself as the victim, whining that she had only intended a "conciliation process"!
What was originally portrayed as a law targeting serious incitements of "racist" violence is now employed to intimidate anyone dissenting from multiracial political orthodoxy. If Bill Leak had not been backed by The Australian, one of the country's most powerful media outlets, he would have been crushed under the liberal juggernaut's wheels.

"I SERVED WITH ROY MOORE IN VIETNAM"…Letter From Veteran Sets Record Straight On "Honorable, Decent, Respectable, Patriotic Commander and Soldier"
If it wasn't for people like Vietnam veteran William E. Staehle, who made the decision to publicly defend the character of Roy Moore in an op-ed, the only picture the American people might have of the former judge, is the one painted by the leftist media and the rabid Democrat Party, that struggles to identify a single legitimate reason for Alabama voters to support their candidate Doug Jones.
I served with Roy Moore in Vietnam in 1971-72, where I knew him to be an altogether honorable, decent, respectable, and patriotic commander and soldier. I have had no contact with him since.
He and I were captains and company commanders in the 504th Military Police Battalion, stationed at the base camp called Camp Land, just west of Danang.
I knew him well in my first four months in-country before I was re-assigned within the battalion to another location. During that time, I grew to admire him.
I am Bill Staehle, residing in Asbury Park, New Jersey. I am an attorney, practicing law continuously for 42-years. I began my career as an assistant United States attorney, and for the past 32 years, I have been the managing trial lawyer for the staff counsel office of a major insurance company.
Allow me to relate to you one experience involving Roy that impressed me.
While in Vietnam, there came a time when another officer invited Roy and me to go with him into town after duty hours for a couple of beers. That officer had just returned from an assignment in Quang Tri Province north of Danang, and we were interested to learn of his experiences.
I had not met him before, and I don't believe Roy had either. On other occasions with other officers, we would go to the officers' club at the air force base, but on this occasion, he told us he knew of another place in town.
When we arrived at the place and went inside, it was clear to Roy and me that he had taken us to a brothel. That officer appeared to know people there, as he was greeted by one or two young women in provocative attire.
The place was plush. There were other American servicemen there. Alcohol was being served. There were plenty of very attractive young women clearly eager for an intimate time.
In less time than it took any of the women to approach us, Roy turned to me and said words to this effect, "We shouldn't be here. I am leaving."
We told the officer who had brought us that we wanted to leave. He told us to take his jeep and that he could get a ride back later, which he did. Roy and I drove back to camp together.
That evening, if I didn't know it before, I knew then that with Roy Moore I was in the company of a man of great self-control, discipline, honor, and integrity. While there were other actions by Roy that reinforced my belief in him, that was the most telling.
I reject what are obvious, politically motivated allegations against Roy of inappropriate dating behavior. What I saw, felt and knew about him in Vietnam stands in stark contrast to those allegations.
I sincerely doubt that Roy's character had changed fundamentally and dramatically in a few short years later. He deserves, in my view, to be heard on the issues that are important to the people of Alabama and our country.
Roy was a soldier for whom I was willing to put my life on the line in Vietnam if the occasion ever arose. Fortunately, it did not.
I was prepared to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with him then, and I am proud to stand by Roy now.
— William E. Staehle, Asbury Park, New Jersey

The East India Company (EIC), also known as the Honourable East India Company and informally as John Company was an English and later British joint-stock company, formed to pursue trade with the East Indies, but which ended up trading mainly with the Indian subcontinent and Qing China.
Originally chartered as the "Governor and Company of Merchants of London trading into the East Indies", the company rose to account for half of the world's trade, particularly trade in basic commodities that included cotton, silk, indigo dye, salt, saltpetre, tea and opium. The company also ruled the beginnings of the British Empire in India.
The company received a Royal Charter from Queen Elizabeth on this day in 1600, making it the oldest among several similarly formed European East India Companies. Wealthy merchants and aristocrats owned the Company's shares. The government owned no shares and had only indirect control. The company eventually came to rule large areas of India with its own private armies, exercising military power and assuming administrative functions. Company rule in India effectively began in 1757 after the Battle of Plassey and lasted until 1858 when, following the Indian Rebellion of 1857, the Government of India Act 1858 led to the British Crown assuming direct control of India in the form of the new British Raj.
Despite frequent government intervention, the company had recurring problems with its finances. The company was dissolved in 1874 as a result of the East India Stock Dividend Redemption Act passed one year earlier, as the Government of India Act had by then rendered it vestigial, powerless, and obsolete. The official government machinery of British India had assumed its governmental functions and absorbed its armies.

Entertainium's top games of 2022 are…
December 21, 2022 December 29, 2022 Entertainium Staff Articles
2022 has been the definition of a fantastic year for videogames, a complete 180 from the chaos that the world as a whole went through with the lingering effects of the pandemic. However, COVID-19 did not deter developers, and some of the best games to come out have been entirely developed during these trying times, a true achievement for all those involved in their making. With that in mind, the staff decided to do something different this time, and we have all chipped in our favorite games that we played in 2022, holding a vote in order to find out the very best of them in order to award them.
So, without further rambling, here are Entertainium's top games of 2022!
– Entertainium Staff
#4: It's a three-way tie!
With Sniper Elite 5, Rebellion have continued to iterate on a series they've been working on for 17 years. At this point, they've got the Sniper Elite formula honed almost to perfection. With beautiful and expansive mission settings in 1944 France, SE5 isn't just a superb sniping simulator. It's also one of the best stealth games in years. Crucially, it is a great value product. There is a long and replayable campaign, full co-op, a survival mode, competitive multiplayer, and a brilliantly tense invasion feature. Rebellion have done all of this as a fully independent company, self-publishing their own game and using their own proprietary technology. That's a rare thing in 2022, and deserves to be celebrated.
– Andy
It's easy to mark this as a safe sequel, after all the premise of the original game, Innocence, was already quite good, but Asobo managed to go beyond merely following up on what happened before and just phone it in. Everything in Requiem is a step above it, most importantly in terms of character development. Loving every second I'm getting to spend with the two protagonists as they get further and further into more dangerous situations. Technically, it's also a masterpiece that's even more impressive due the fact that the entire technology behind it is proprietary to Asobo. It looks awesome and positively gross!

Few games embody a sense of place better than Norco. The way it deftly establishes and communicates the mountains of history this city has and the weight of the many hardships thrust upon it and its citizens is impeccable. I wouldn't say that good writing is a rarity in videogames, but Norco's writing is some fucking Writing on a level few games achieve.

#3: Nintendo's single biggest JRPG of 2022!
Much in the way Elden Ring hooked me in, Xenoblade Chronicles 3 also has me going due to its scope, but in a way it's doing so in a much more gripping manner thanks to its incredible, amazing story with some of the best characters I've got to interact with this year. It's something to behold, really. The combat is also a whole lot of fun, and even though I'm not finished with it yet, this is one I'll keep coming back to when I have time so I can chip away at it.
#2: This couldn't be more opposite of a tie even if we tried!
When I think about Citizen Sleeper, the parts that come to mind are the small, quiet moments. Swapping stories over a meal with the chef of a food stand. Celebrating the successful repair of a still at the bar a friend of yours runs. Finally finishing repairs on an abandoned apartment, allowing you to move into a space of your own. It's a game full of triumphant and exciting moments, but one that is consistently at its best in the more mundane scenes. It's a game full of many wonderful moments of community, of finding a place to belong. In a year full of incredible stories in videogames, Citizen Sleeper's is one that continues to stay at the forefront of my mind.
What a game Elden Ring is. It's crazy to think we're in December but this one is still fresh on everyone's mind. Sure, it's more of the same when it comes to all the Souslike trappings in combat and character building, but what's most impressive about it is its scope. It's simply huge and there's so much to do right away when you start it's very daunting to be sure. Then again, that absurd amount of content does result in a bit of reused material, especially some from other From games, but the overall package is amazing and I was positively floored by it overall.
And Entertainium's #1 pick for Game of the Year goes to…
Video games and movies in many ways have always overlapped, going back to the 1990s FMV boom. Immortality is a video game which absolutely loves movies and the making of movies in particular; the nitty-gritty details of casting, read throughs, rehearsals and then filming. Indeed, it loves movies so much, it created three separate ones of its own, from scratch.
If it was possible to nominate Immortality for the "best film" of 2022, it would probably deserve that title as well. However, the interactive element of the player is central to your experience, so it is definitely a game at the end of the day. As an evolution of Sam Barlow's Her Story, the amount of technical skill that has gone into crafting this experience is almost unparalleled.
Immortality has created three separate motion pictures, from 3 separate eras of movie-making (late 1960s, early 1970s and late 1990s), and chopped them up into individual, unedited scenes including clapper boards and the directors yelling cut. It is your task to reassemble these films piece by piece, scene by scene, through clicking on items in each scene to initiate a "jump cut" to a random other scene with a similar item. For example if you click on an actor's face, you'll be jumped to other scenes featuring that actor; click on a piece of fruit, and you should be warped to another scene featuring fruit.
Immortality has potentially the most multilayered narrative I've ever experienced; not only trying to work out the plots of the individual films, but also following the story of the principal actors and crew, and then furthermore exploring a third hidden narrative. It is this hidden narrative that I don't wish to spoil which really upends what the entire game is about on the surface, and has very heavy David Lynch-inspired overtones. Immortality left me feeling bewildered, awed and unnerved and for that, I love it.

Q: How to keep attribute after reduce? Using below code I'm attempting to output the name and the sum of the ages for each person :
import akka.actor.ActorSystem
import akka.stream.scaladsl.{Sink, Source}

object CalculateMeanInStream extends App {

  implicit val actorSystem = ActorSystem()

  case class Person(name: String, age: Double)
  val personSource = Source(List(Person("1", 30),Person("1", 20),Person("1", 20),Person("1", 30),Person("2", 2)))
  val meanPrintSink = Sink.foreach[Double](println)
  val printSink = Sink.foreach[Double](println)

  def calculateMean(values: List[Double]): Double = {
    values.sum / values.size
  }

  personSource.groupBy(maxSubstreams = 2 , s  => s.name)
    .map(m => m.age)
    .reduce(_ + _ )
    .mergeSubstreams
    .runForeach(println)

}

The output is :
2.0
100.0

Is there a way to keep the persons name as part of the reduce so that the following is produced in the output :
(2.0 , 2)
(100.0 , 1)

I've tried :
  personSource.groupBy(maxSubstreams = 2 , s  => s.name)
    .reduce((x , y) => x.age + y.age)
    .mergeSubstreams
    .runForeach(println)

but throws compiler error :
type mismatch;
 found   : Double
 required: CalculateMeanInStream.Person
    .reduce((x , y) => x.age + y.age)

A: personSource
    .groupBy(maxSubstreams = 2, s => s.name)
    .reduce((person1, person2) => Person(person1.name, person1.age + person2.age))
    .mergeSubstreams
    .runForeach(println)

A: There might be a more elegant way but I'd do it like this:
personSource
    .groupBy(maxSubstreams = 2, s => s.name)
    .map(x => x.name -> x.age)
    .reduce { case ((a, b) , (_, d)) => (a, b + d) }
    .mergeSubstreams
    .runForeach(println)

A: You can use fold(), which would let you skip the map. Instead of the map and reduce lines.
Just write as follows:
import akka.actor.ActorSystem
import akka.stream.scaladsl.{Sink, Source}

object CalculateMeanInStream extends App {

  implicit val actorSystem: ActorSystem = ActorSystem()

  case class Person(name: String, age: Double)
  val personSource = Source(List(Person("1", 30),Person("1", 20),Person("1", 20),Person("1", 30),Person("2", 2)))
  val meanPrintSink = Sink.foreach[Double](println)
  val printSink = Sink.foreach[Double](println)

  def calculateMean(values: List[Double]): Double = {
    values.sum / values.size
  }

  val reducer: ((String, Double), (String, Double)) => (String, Double) =
    (person, accPerson) => (person._1, person._2 + accPerson._2)

  personSource.groupBy(maxSubstreams = 2 , s  => s.name)
    .fold((0D, "")){ case ((sum, _), x) => (sum + x.age, x.name )}
    .mergeSubstreams
    .runForeach(println)
    .onComplete(_ => actorSystem.terminate())(actorSystem.dispatcher)

}

Your output will be:
(2.0, 2)
(100.0, 1)

as you need per requirements.

Dental fillings are treatment for cavities. In some cases, a filling will successfully relieve sensitivity in the tooth caused by the damage. Other times the dentist may combine the filling with other treatments for the best result.
The main cause of cavities is tooth decay. There are other ways to have a cavity, because a cavity is a hole and there are other ways for you to get a hole in your tooth. You can get a hole in your tooth because you're grinding one tooth against another and wearing one away, so that would be a cavity also.
If you have a cavity, your dentist is going to treat it in different ways depending upon the size of the cavity, the depth of the cavity, and how much tooth structure has been lost because of this cavity. So the resolution for this cavity may be a small filling, it may be a large filling, it may be an inlay which is a large filling made in a laboratory, or it may be a crown which covers the entire tooth and is also made in a laboratory. Treatment will vary depending upon the severity of the cavity.
The length of time that your dental filling will last will vary depending upon the size of the filling and the material used. If you use a filling material that is designed to be a small filling and you use it as a large filling, it's not going to last as long.

Cruise News Costa Cruises Returns to Port Everglades
Costa Cruises Returns to Port Everglades
Costa Cruises returned to Broward County's Port Everglades earlier this week with a first call by the 2,260-passenger Costa Deliziosa. An Italian cruise line owned by Carnival Corporation, Costa Cruises has sailed from Port Everglades since the 1960s and is returning for the winter season following a four-year hiatus.
Scott Knutson, vice president of sales and marketing for Costa Cruises North America, gave the following statement:
"Thank you to everyone at Port Everglades for an incredible welcome, both to Costa Cruises and Costa Deliziosa. Costa Deliziosa is the newest Costa ship to homeport in the United States, and we are excited for North American guests to see firsthand what makes Costa Europe's most popular cruise line."
Steven Cerna, Port Everglades Chief Executive and Port Director said "Costa Deliziosa is a good fit for Port Everglades because it gives our cruise guests the option to cruise aboard a vessel that has a distinct Italian style. Costa Cruises has a long tradition in South Florida, and we are delighted to have Costa Deliziosa join our fleet this season."
Costa Deliziosa entered service in 2010 and features stylish Italian décor such as various types of marbles, granite, mother-of-pearl, and Murano glass. The 92,600-gross-ton ship has four restaurants, three pools, 11 bars, the Samsara Spa and a 4-D cinema.
Port Everglades is one of the busiest three cruise ports in the world serving more than 3.7 million passengers in 2015 on nine different cruise lines and more than 40 cruise ships.
