EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW | VCNS
'Atmanirbharta' in Maritime Security
Fully supporting self-reliance in defence manufacturing, Indian Navy continues to propel the domestic industry's growth, something that has far-reaching strategic consequences. In Part 1 of an extensive interview with Jayant Baranwal, Editor-in-Chief, SP's ShowNews, Vice Admiral S.N. Ghormade, Vice Chief of Naval Staff, gave a comprehensive overview of the current and future plans of the Indian Navy.
Show: DefExpo 2022 - Day 1
Jayant Baranwal (Baranwal): Aircraft Carrier
Now that INS Vikrant is commissioned, where do you see the status of IAC-2?
Vice Admiral S.N. Ghormade (Ghormade): India's aspiration as a regional power to safeguard its interests and those of friendly countries, can be effected through a near continuous presence in the Indian Ocean Region (IOR). Indian Navy is seen as a force that provides regional stability and peace in the region. A three Carrier force would be essential to provide Sea Control in the vast Indian Ocean region. Needless to say, the flexibility, mobility, combat potential and resilience of an Aircraft Carrier are unmatched in conflict and has a deterrence effect during peace time. Further, the 24th report of the Standing Committee on Defence on Demand of Grants of the Ministry of Defence for the year 2021-22, has also brought out that Indian Navy (IN) requires a third Aircraft Carrier, so that at any given occasion, two aircraft carriers are operational in either seaboard for the Maritime Security of country. Indian Navy's necessity to acquire and operate a third aircraft carrier is well known and acknowledged at higher level.
(b) Particularly when such a project can help:
Self-Reliance, strengthening & supporting Industrial ecosystem engaging SMEs, MSMEs
Ghormade: In charting a course into the future, visionary guidance has been enunciated by our National Leadership. The Nation has set itself a clear goal for India in 2047- that of being a developed nation.
Be it the Prime Minister's articulation of 'पाँच प्‌रण', or the single minded focus on Atmanirbhar Bharat, or transformational initiatives such as Digital India, Skill India, etc, - the aspirational national direction is absolutely clear. And therefore, the Navy in 2047 must be a fully 'Atmanirbhar' force that is 'combat-ready, credible, cohesive, and future-proof' in service of the Nation. Similarly, on July 18, 2022 during NIIO Seminar, Prime Minister has directed Navy to achieve unprecedented heights when India celebrates 100 years of its independence.
Self-reliance in defence manufacturing is one of the key thrust areas of Government of India (GoI). Commissioning of INS Vikrant was an outcome of years of hard work and perseverance by a team encompassing the Government, the Navy, Cochin Shipyard, the Indian Defence Industry, MSMEs, innovators and the workforce working together for a common purpose. Aptly showcasing that 'the whole is always greater than sum of its part'. Considerable expertise has been gained through design & construction of INS Vikrant, this needs consolidation & continuity which will enhance affordability of Aircraft Carriers. A substantial part of Naval budget is ploughed back into the Indian shipbuilding eco system, including a large number of MSMEs.
Naval shipbuilding offers immense opportunity for development of dual use technologies for both military and civilian agencies. A large number of military solutions can be adapted to commercial/civilian usage. Such dual use avenues include Hull equipment (Valves, Davits, Winches, Cranes), Air Conditioning, RO Plant, Refrigeration, Robotics, Unmanned Systems, Autonomous solutions, Composites, Communication and Networking, Sewage Treatment Plant, Garbage disposal, Cabling, Optical Fibre, Fire Fighting and Damage Control etc.
We aim to collectively produce these products that are Made in India - Made for India - and Make for the World - Something that has far-reaching strategic consequences.
Going ahead, the 43 out of 45 warships that are under construction in India, and existing 55 AoNs for ships and submarines that will be built in India, would continue to propel the domestic industry's growth.
(ii) Skill development & Employment generation
Ghormade: Construction of IAC-1 project at Cochin Shipyard (CSL) has immensely contributed towards considerable skill development in design, development of welder qualification and weld processes, integration of ship systems, etc. Towards augmenting the strength of personnel in shipbuilding industry, skill development of associated personnel is a given and such employable youth shall remain an asset to the country for the coming years. This would translate into availability of niche products for the Navy. The fact that a warship is like a township at sea which brings in technology that is required essentially in a smart city.
Indian Navy's necessity to acquire and operate a third aircraft carrier is well known and acknowledged at higher level
With Vikrant, 76 per cent was ploughed back into the Indian ship-building ecosystem, encompassing 90 OEMs, over 100 MSMEs and 500 ancillaries, 2,000 direct and 13,000 indirect employment. In addition, items have been sourced from 18 States and Union Territories signifying the whole of nation effort.
I will reiterate here that the shipbuilding industry is manpower intensive and therefore, efforts of IN towards indigenous shipbuilding aid in generation of job opportunities and enable skilling of workforce. As per KPMG, the multiplier for employment in ancillary industry for ship building is 1:6.4. For example, the total shipyard manpower for Project 17A frigate is 4,000 personnel per annum. Thus, approximately 28,000 personnel are employed in ancillary industry for Project 17A frigate alone.
Indigenous construction of IAC-2 in an Indian Shipyard will provide impetus to the ongoing Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative of the Government, while also providing a huge employment opportunity to the Indian populace.
The number of captive personnel employed for the IAC-1 project on a continuous basis by CSL is 2000. Indigenous Aircraft Carrier programme provides a boost to employment generation not only in shipbuilding industry but also in ancillary industries wherein approx. 13,000 personnel have been employed.
More than 500 Indian firms are registered with CSL towards providing various services for construction of IAC-1. As per data provided by CSL, orders of almost 300 crore have been placed on MSMEs during the last ten years. Therefore, the shipyard has generated significant business opportunities for SMEs/ MSMEs.
(c) Chinese Fujian - 3rd Aircraft Carrier
The programme has been reported as a 'message to its rivals'. How do you perceive this programme of China - an unpredictable neighbourhood?
Ghormade: The Chinese Aircraft Carrier programme is an extension of the Chinese Maritime Capability expansion and it is part of a natural progression. The Indian Navy has already put in place a force accretion programme to meet our maritime security needs and maintain its primacy in the Indian Ocean Region.
Baranwal: Carrier borne Fighter
(a) When can we get to see the finalisation of this requirement?
Ghormade: In order to meet the Indian Navy's long term requirement of a next generation deck based fighter, Navy is pursuing the Twin Engine Deck Based Fighter (TEDBF) programme with DRDO. The TEDBF is an indigenous effort to meet future requirements and envisaged as a replacement of the MiG-29K/KuB which will strengthen our resolve for 'Atmanirbhar Bharat'. The existing inventory of MIG-29K aircraft are inadequate to meet the total number of fighters required to operate from both the aircraft carriers. Thus, it is extremely important for the Navy to procure additional multirole carrier borne fighters as an interim augmentation of fighter aircraft till fructification of TEDBF Project.
(b) Can you remind us as to what are the key features/key expectations out of this particular requirement?
Ghormade: TEDBF would be a Twin Engine Deck Based Fighter which would operate from IN Aircraft Carriers. TEDBF would be developed by ADA, a DRDO agency, and is intended to perform multitude of mission with indigenous Weapons, Avionics and Sensors.
(c) Any plan for 5th Generation Fighter programme?
Ghormade: TEDBF is designed to meet the requirement of 5th Generation fighter specific to IN operations.

Canada's Foreign Transaction Reporting Rules
Posted: Thursday, January 25th, 2018
Offshore income & assets
Canada's Foreign Transaction Reporting Rules—A Canadian Tax Lawyer Analysis
The Canadian Income Tax Act contains five basic rules requiring a Canadian resident to report either a transaction involving a foreign party or an interest in foreign property:
Section 233.1 requires a Canadian resident to file a T106 if the resident entered a business transaction with a related non-resident.
Section 233.2 requires a Canadian resident to file a T1141 if the resident transferred or loaned property to a non-resident trust or similar entity.
Section 233.3 requires a Canadian resident to file a T1135 if the resident owns or has an interest in "specified foreign property."
Section 233.4 requires a Canadian resident to file a T1134 if the resident has a "foreign affiliate."
Section 233.6 requires a Canadian resident to file a T1142 if the resident is a beneficiary of—and receives a distribution from—a non-resident trust.
These reporting rules do not hinge upon tax liability. That is, these rules obligate a Canadian taxpayer to report a foreign interest regardless of whether that interest generates income that is taxable in Canada.
The Canadian government enacted these reporting rules as a means of gathering information. Before these rules came into existence, a Canadian taxpayer was not required to divulge his or her offshore holdings or transactions unless they resulted in a tax payable. As a result, Canada Revenue Agency had no means of auditing foreign assets or transactions to discern whether Canadian tax was indeed not payable. In short, these reporting rules alert the CRA to offshore assets or transactions that warrant a closer inspection.
In addition, section 233.6 exempts certain first-year resident individuals from the reporting requirements of sections 233.2, 233.3, 233.4, and 233.6.
Section 233.1—T106: Information Return of Non-Arm's Length Transactions with Non-Residents
Section 233.1 requires certain persons and partnerships to file a T106 if that person or partnership enters a business transaction with a related non-resident. In particular, the reporting requirement under section 233.1 applies to the following entities:
a Canadian-resident person
a non-resident person carrying on business in Canada
a partnership with a Canadian-resident partner
a partnership carrying on business in Canada
A non-resident must file a T106 for a transaction that involved both (1) another related non-resident and (2) a business that the non-resident carried on in Canada.
A Canadian resident, on the other hand, must file a T106 for a transaction that involved both (1) a related non-resident and (2) the resident's business—regardless of whether carried on in Canada.
Section 233.1 does not apply, however, if the total value of an otherwise reportable transaction is equal to or less than $1 million.
Section 233.2—T1141: Information Return in Respect of Contributions to Non-Resident Trusts, Arrangements, or Entities
Generally, section 233.2 requires a Canadian-resident individual to file a T1141 if that individual makes a non-arm's length transfer or loan to a non-resident trust. Subsection 233.2(4.1) effectively extends this general rule to include a non-arm's length transfer or loan from a Canadian resident to a foreign arrangement akin to a trust.
In particular, under 233.2(4.1), a Canadian-resident individual must file a T1141 if:
[the individual] at any time, directly or indirectly, transferred or loaned... property to be held under [an] arrangement and the arrangement is governed by the laws of a country or a political subdivision of a country other than Canada...; and
the transfer or loan is not an arm's length transfer.
But subparagraph 233.2(4.1)(e)(ii) exempts a individual from filing a T1141 if "the arrangement or entity [is] a foreign affiliate in respect of which the [individual] is a reporting entity (within the meaning assigned by subsection 233.4(1))." In other words, if section 233.4 requires the individual to report a foreign affiliate, the 233.2 reporting rule does not apply.
Section 233.3—T1135: Foreign Information Verification Statement
Generally, section 233.3 requires a Canadian-resident person or partnership to file a T1135 if that person or partnership owns "specified foreign property" with a total cost exceeding $100,000.
"Specified foreign property" includes "an interest in, or for civil law a right in, or a right—under a contract in equity or otherwise either immediately or in the future and either absolutely or contingently—to... a share of the capital stock of a non-resident corporation."
But "specified foreign property" excludes "an interest in, or for civil law a right in, or a right to acquire, a property that is... a share of the capital stock... of a non-resident corporation that is a foreign affiliate of [the owner]... for the purpose of section 233.4."
For more on the T1135 reporting requirement, see here.
Section 233.4—T1134: Information Return Relating to Controlled and Non-Controlled Foreign Affiliates
Generally, section 233.4 requires a Canadian-resident individual, of which a non-resident corporation is a foreign affiliate at any time in the year, to file a T1134.
At bottom, a non-resident corporation is a taxpayer's "foreign affiliate" if the taxpayer owns at least 10% of that corporation's shares, regardless of class or series.
Section 233.6—T1142 Information Return in Respect of Distributions from and Indebtedness to a Non-Resident Trust
Section 233.6 requires a Canadian-resident taxpayer to file a T1142 if that taxpayer receives a distribution or loan from a non-resident trust in which the taxpayer has a beneficial interest. This reporting requirement still applies even if the taxpayer need not include the distribution in income—such as distributions from the trust capital.
Section 233.6 doesn't apply if the non-resident trust is either a deceased individual's estate or an "excluded trust." A non-resident trust is an "excluded trust" if, for instance, the trust is exempt from tax in its resident country. In addition, a Canadian resident need not file a T1142 if the resident must already file a T1141, T1135, or T1134.
Section 233.7—Exception for First-Year-Canadian-Resident Individuals
Section 233.7 of the Income Tax Act exempts a first-year resident individual who would otherwise need to file under sections 233.2, 233.3, 233.4, or 233.6.
This filing exception does not apply to the reporting obligation under section 233.1. So, first-year residents must still file a T106 for a non-arm's length business transaction with a non-resident.
In addition, the Canada Revenue Agency insists that the filing exception doesn't apply to an individual who was previously resident in Canada (see CRA document no. 2009-0315911E5, July 20, 2009).
Tax Tips - Foreign Transaction Reporting
Because these reporting requirements don't hinge upon tax liability, many taxpayers consider them to be unimportant. But the Income Tax Act imposes steep penalties on taxpayers who fail to file an information return per the foreign-reporting rules. For example, a simple failure to file can result in a penalty of up to $2,500 plus interest. But if the failure to file constitutes gross negligence, the maximum penalty can reach $12,000. Moreover, an additional 5% penalty may apply if a T106, T1141, or T1135 is over 24-months late.
Similarly, a false statement or omission on a filed information return can also draw hefty penalties. A $24,000 penalty may apply as a result of a false statement or omission on a T106. If the false statement or omission is made on a T1141, T1135, or T1134, the penalty is the greater of $24,000 and 5% of the reported amount.
An application under the Voluntary Disclosures Program (VDP) may allow you to avoid these penalties. Contact one of our expert Canadian tax lawyers to discuss whether a voluntary disclosure is a viable option.

Vedanta Resources Plc's Zambian unit plans to cut 24 percent of its workforce after costs rose and the copper price dropped. Konkola Copper Mines Plc will reduce the total number of employees at its operations in Africa's biggest producer of the metal by 2,000 from 8,263, the Chingola, Zambia-based company said in an e-mailed statement.
Copper for three-month delivery has slumped 8.3 percent to $7,273 a metric ton over the past 12 months in London trading. KCM says labor and electricity, its two key costs, have been "increasing constantly and substantially. It says "KCM needs to make business changes to remain economically viable..Regrettably, this means reducing staff numbers as many of the upgrade and expansion projects come to an end.".
I have previously discussed the Zambia's vulnerability to the slow down in China here and here.
On a more positive note, First Quantum Minerals (FQM) has revealed that it has so far employed around 2000 Zambians at its Sentinel Mine at Kalumbila, 120 kilometres west of Solwezi. A further 400 Zambians are expected to be hired when the construction of a smelter in Solwezi starts soon. Sentinel Mine is the first of the three mines at the largest mineral project ever undertaken in Zambia known as 'Trident'. FQM is expected to boost its copper production to 700,000 tonnes per annum by 2015 with the completion of Sentinel Mine and increased output from expansion of Kansanshi Mine.
Separately, Berkeley Minerals Resources Plc (BMR) plans to reopen the Kabwe lead and zinc mine, which was closed in 1996. BMR also owns Bwana Mkubwa Copper Mines and several other mineral assets in Zambia. It appears the environmental issues have been sorted out with GRZ. The mining operations in Kabwe are expected to start before the end of 2013. BMR plans to employ "former ZCCM Kabwe mine workers".

Artificial Intelligence: What it is and why you should embrace it
TW Workshop
It's no secret that Artificial Intelligence has seen a great resurgence over the past few years. From Netflix to self-driving cars, it's clear that AI is not only here to stay, but it's bound to make our lives a whole lot easier.
Without knowing it, we are using Artificial Intelligence more and more in our everyday lives. In a typical household, everything from smart assistants in the form of smart speakers, vacuum cleaners and streaming services are all powered by AI.
While there are still a lot of sceptics out there, AI seems to be gaining popularity at an immense rate, but we can't help wondering, how much do we really know about it?
Let's start with the basics, shall we?
In a nutshell, Artificial Intelligence (AI), is based on the idea that machines can be built to think and execute tasks as humans do. The goals of artificial intelligence therefore include learning, reasoning, and awareness.
When was it discovered?
Artificial Intelligence can be traced back to the pre-20th century.
The most notable dates in more recent times, however, was in 1950 and 1956 respectively.
In 1950, Alan Turing published "Computing Machinery and Intelligence" in which he proposed "the imitation game". This was later known as the "Turing Test" which is a test of a machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behaviour equivalent to that of a human.
But, it is was in 1956, at a workshop held on the campus of Dartmouth College that AI research was ultimately founded.
The conference was organised by John McCarthy with the main objective being to clarify and develop ideas about thinking machines. It lasted about six to eight weeks and it is believed that McCarthy coined the term artificial intelligence specifically for the conference.
For a more detailed timeline on AI, click here.
The categorisation of Artificial Intelligence
According to Investopedia, artificial intelligence can be divided into two different categories: weak and strong.
Weak artificial intelligence embodies a system designed to carry out one particular job. Weak AI systems include video games and personal assistants like Amazon's Alexa and Apple's Siri.
Strong artificial intelligence systems are systems that carry out tasks considered to be human-like. These tend to be more complex and complicated systems. The machines are programmed to solve a problem without the assistance or intervention of a human. Examples of these applications are self-driving cars or hospital operating rooms.
What is it Artificial Intelligence used for?
AI is continuously evolving and benefits many different industries.
Below are just a few examples of how AI has infiltrated our everyday lives.
Search engines learn from the vast input of data from users to provide relevant and matched search results.
Artificial Intelligence provides personalised recommendations to people, based on their previous searches and purchases, or other online behaviours.
Forward-thinking marketers are all introducing AI to their strategies for its ability to increase revenue, save time and reduce costs. AI can process your ad spend and targeting data, look at your results, then learn what actions (spending changes, targeting changes, etc.) will drive better performance.

Automated Translation Tools
AI translators are digital tools that use advanced artificial intelligence to translate written or spoken words. They can also translate the meaning (and sometimes the sentiment) of the message. This results in greater accuracy and fewer misunderstandings than when using simple machine translation.
Here are a few examples of how AI is set to change our lives.
AI can improve Health
Technology applications and apps encourage healthier behaviour in individuals and help with the day to day management of a healthy lifestyle.
It puts consumers in control of health and well-being. Additionally, AI increases the ability for healthcare professionals to better understand the day-to-day patterns and needs of the people they care for, and with that understanding, they are able to provide better feedback, guidance and support for staying healthy.

Autonomous delivery bots can ensure the delivery of vitally important goods to those in need. They can also be used to ensure that vulnerable people like senior citizens get their essentials on time, especially during a crisis like COVID-19.
Can help farmers
AI-powered drones can help farmers gather critical information on their crops in record time. Drones can quickly fly over a farm and take pictures and videos that highlight potential threats to crops.
The technology can help farmers make decisions about what to plant and when, how to irrigate more effectively, how to deploy fertilizers and supplements, and when to harvest. (Source: prnewswire)
It offers Dynamic Insights
AI's ability to analyse large quantities of data at speed and scale allows it to deliver actionable insights in real-time.
In pulling data from customer demographics, past transactional data, and external sources, AI helps workflows make better business decisions. (Source: Businesstech)
Combining the best of human ability with the best of machine automation can enable us to lead more efficient, productive and even healthier lives.

DO I HAVE TO SHARE THE YACHT?
No – it is possible to book by the cabin but most people prefer to charter the whole yacht. We will help you select the right yacht to suit you and your party from a honeymoon for two up to larger yachts for five couples.
WHAT TYPE OF YACHTS ARE AVAILABLE?
A whole range of yachts, catamarans, monohulls and powerboats, to suit all budgets and requirements are available. Just contact us for further information or click here to search for available yachts.
WHAT IS A NORMAL CREWED YACHT CHARTER?
Depending on the location you select for your charter, we will happily send you a sample itinerary to give you a flavour of a typical week in that particular area.
WHAT WILL OUR CREW BE RESPONSIBLE FOR?
Your crew will be responsible for every aspect of ensuring you have a safe and fun holiday. Your chef will prepare all meals and snacks and keep the boat clean and tidy. Your captain will be responsible for running the yacht and your well being.
WHO DECIDES THE SAILING ITINERARY?
This can be jointly decided between yourself and the captain, or you can let the Captain recommend the best route given your preferred activities. This will also, of course, be influenced by local weather conditions.
Typically prices run between US$1500 and US$2500 per person for a week. In the Caribbean, costs are normally all inclusive, including all meals, an open bar and watersports. The rate is determined by the size of the yacht, the area in which you're chartering, time of year and number of guests. As a guide, sailing boats tend to be priced on a sliding scale depending on number of guests whereas motorboats you charter the entire yacht. As prices are frequently revised and special offers become available we recommend that that you contact us for the latest price information and yacht availability.
Whilst the yacht will be fully insured we recommend that you do take out standard holiday insurance together with a cancellation policy. This ensures that in the unfortunate event of you having to cancel your trip due to no fault of your own, you will be entitled to a re-fund.
DO WE SAIL ALL DAY?
This will depend on the area in which you're sailing and the selected itinerary. If you are looking to sail for just a couple of hours each day, but mainly enjoy your time at anchor or ashore and are looking for a holiday in the Caribbean, then we recommend the British Virgin Islands.
WILL WE BE ABLE TO ORDER SPECIAL DIET MENUS OR REQUEST FAVOURITE BEVERAGES?
Absolutely!! Your crew will endeavour to make sure that all special requests are met.
DO YOU HAVE ANY YACHTS THAT TAKE TWO GUESTS FOR A HONEYMOON OR SPECIAL ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION?
Yes – it is becoming increasingly popular to either get married or just honeymoon onboard a yacht.
WILL THIS BE A GOOD FAMILY HOLIDAY?
A crewed yacht vacation really is the perfect family sailing holiday. A great way to make sure that the kids are entertained, have fun and are in a safe environment.
WILL I BE ABLE TO MAKE AND RECEIVE PERSONAL PHONE CALLS FROM THE YACHT?
Most yachts have the facility to set up personal telephone accounts for their guests. This should be checked when you book.
CAN I SCUBA DIVE FROM THE YACHT?
Several yachts offer diving with one of the crew being a dive master. Where this isn't the case, there are several rendez vous diving companies who will be happy to come out to your yacht.
In the Caribbean yacht crews work on the American system whereby a gratuity is received for hard work and good service. This is not mandatory and is up to the individual, but is generally between 10-20% of the charter price.
HOW DO I REACH THE BVI AND WHERE DO I BOARD THE BOAT?
You need to fly to Beef Island (code EIS) which is accessible via either San Juan (Puerto Rico), St Thomas or Antigua. Crewed yachts are generally boarded at Village Cay Marina, but we can give you more advice when we know which boat you're chartering and where you're coming from.
WHAT HAPPENS ONCE I DECIDE TO GO AHEAD?
Once we've found you the perfect yacht we'll send you a contract to sign. This is then forwarded to the Captain of the boat for his signature and a copy sent back to you. At this point a 50% deposit is required to secure the booking.

Currently Viewing The Future of Marriage $25.95
By David Blankenhorn
AVAILABLE:7/16/2006
With precision and passion, David Blankenhorn offers a bold new argument in the debate over same-sex marriage: that it would essentially deny all children, not just the children of same-sex couples, their birthright to their own mother and father. If we change marriage, we change parenthood—for all families. Altering marriage to accommodate same-sex couples would mean weakening in culture and eliminating in law the idea that children need both their mother and their father.
The Future of Marriage analyzes recent survey data from 35 countries, offering the first scientific evidence that support for marriage is weakest in those nations where support for gay marriage is strongest. Blankenhorn explains how same-sex marriage would transform our most pro-child social institution into a purely private relationship ("an expression of love") between adults, defined by each couple as they wish. Chang-ing marriage laws to include same-sex couples, he argues, would require us to "deinstitutionalize" marriage, "amputating from the institution one after another of its core ideas, until the institution itself is like a room with all the furniture removed and everything stripped from the walls."
For Blankenhorn, the main question concerning the future of marriage in the United States is not whether we will adopt gay marriage. The main question is whether the social institution of marriage will become stronger or weaker. If we wish to strengthen marriage on behalf of children, there is no shortage of ideas for doing so. What matters is whether we as a society regard this as a worthy and urgent goal.
David Blankenhorn is the founder and president of the Institute for American Values, a nonpartisan organization whose mission is to study and strengthen civil society. He is the author of Fatherless America (1995), The Future of Marriage (2007), Thrift: A Cyclopedia (2008), and New York's Promise (2013).

I don't know if this is relevant but i notice in the original file the words (Sync, Vendor, Block) i know that from .Net, in the .NET platform, a sync block structure Returns the object's hashcode.
Can confirm this. We had this problem with drawings. Switched to Adobe Acrobat Reader solved this for us.
Cannot reproduce in Microsoft Edge 40.15063.0.0 Microsoft EdgeHTML 15.15063 (Win10 1703).
I just checked a system with Edge 40.15063, EdgeHTML 15.15063.
Can repro with Edge 40.15063.0.0 with the sample file provided above.
Furthermore, note that this bug also appears when printing the file to a PCL 6 printer (HP LaserJet 4250). The result is similarly wrong but with different numbers in the affected boxes.
Printed your original file from Chrome to a Sharp and Lexmark MFP with no issue.
Also printed fine to Lexmark and Sharp MFP's using Adobe Reader. The problem is the Edge Browser and your solution is to stop using that cruddy piece of trash.
Updating title to describe the problem more broadly. It appears that more is changed than just the digits in the first few cells.
Can also be reproduced on both virtual machines for Edge testing "Microsoft Edge on Win10 (x64) Stable (14.14393)" and "Microsoft Edge on Win10 (x64) Preview (15.15063)".
There is no use of JBIG2 (was the reason for the problems with Xerox printers) in both files so that shouldn't be the reason for this issue.
I also could reproduce this with an PCL6 output generated by the printer driver for the HP LaserJet M425 so the Printer "Microsoft Print to PDF" is also not the cause. To be sure I printed the original file with Acrobat Reader DC - with no failures in the resulting PDF.
The error appears randomly on different positions with every print.
There are no failures in the rows with single-lined text (Tile 16 - 31, 48 - 63 and 112 - 127). The numbers in these tiles are still affected.
Do you know when this fix will be released? I'm hoping it will fix another issue I am having with pdfs not working as expected.
Print preview looks good, printing, and the headers/titles/Hx are scrambled.

Q: Is there any way to designate content off-limits to browser's built-in text searching? I've got a page that I want easily searchable using the browser's built-in search function (command/control-F). I've got some text in a textarea that I don't want the in-browser search function to get hung up on. How can I designate this content as not searchable by the browser's in-page search? Is there perhaps a CSS attribute I can set?
NB: I also looked at this question, but pseudo-elements are not possible solutions.

NASA Telescope Reveals Batch of Earth-size, Habitable-zone Planets around Single Star
February 23, 2017 / CSA Executive Director
NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope has revealed a new exoplanet discovery: the first known system of seven Earth-size planets around a single star. Three of these planets are firmly located in the habitable zone, the area around the parent star where a rocky planet is most likely to have liquid water.
Still Cooling after All These Years
Fifteen years is a long time for any high-tech cryogenic device to continue working, but that is just what an M77 cryocooler aboard NASA's RHESSI satellite has accomplished. Designed by Sunpower, Inc. (CSA CSM), the unit's piston has cycled over 26 billion times over this period. And, as periodic oil changes can't happen in space, the M77 has done so without oil to provide lubrication between the piston and piston wall. Instead, it relies on gas bearings to provide a thin protective layer of gas to prevent collisions.
Cornell Professor Takes Home 2017 Lee Osheroff Richardson Science Prize
Oxford Instruments has awarded Dr. Brad Ramshaw, assistant professor at Cornell University, its 2017 LOR Science Prize. The Lee Osheroff Richardson (LOR) Science Prize promotes and recognizes the novel work of young scientists working in the fields of low temperatures or high magnetic fields in the Americas. The trophy and $8,000 prize will be awarded at the Association for Physical Society's meeting in March in New Orleans.
CSA Remembers Peter Gifford 1947 – 2017
We regret to report that Peter Gifford, longtime leader of Cryomech, Inc., passed away in January 2017, surrounded by family and friends at his Syracuse home. He was 68. Gifford was a leader in the cryogenic community, a dedicated member of CSA and one of the second-generation industry leaders affectionately dubbed the "Cryomafia."
CUORE Reaches Its Operating Temperature
The Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events experiment (CUORE) reached a new milestone in late January when its detector reached its operating temperature of 10 mk. The detector has 19 towers formed from 988 Tellurium oxide crystals, and it weighs nearly 1,650 lbs. Engineers finished installing the detector into the experiment's cryostat in August 2016 and have been cooling the system over the last five months.
Improving LED Screens with Scotch Tape and Laser Beams
Researchers at the Ultrafast Laser Lab at the University of Kansas have created a new bilayer material that someday could lead to more efficient and versatile light emission. Each layer, formed by combining atomically thin layers of molybdenum disulfide and rhenium disulfide, measures less than one nanometer in thickness.
New Report Details Communication Best Practices for Science Labs and Facilities
The InterAction Collaboration, a group of science communicators from 18 laboratories and institutions from 11 countries, has issued a new report summarizing communication best practices. It covers more than a dozen categories of communication and outreach activities, including managing reputational risks through communications, strategic approaches to communications and outreach, traditional media (newspapers, television and radio), social media, local community engagement and internal communications.
ISRO Successfully Tests the GSLV MkIII Cryogenic Upper Stage
The Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO) completed a flight duration test for the cryogenic upper stage of its GSLV MkIII in mid-February. The move marked a significant milestone, according to ISRO, as the 640-second test was the last in series of engine and stage development hot tests before the launch vehicle's first development flight.
Industry Team Developing High-Efficiency Hydrogen Compressor
Sustainable Innovations, Inc., Greenway Energy and Savannah River National Laboratory have announced a partnership designed to maximize the benefits of two cutting edge hydrogen compressor technologies by combining them into one hybrid compressor with both high reliability and efficiency.
Highview Expands LAES Offerings in NYC
Highview Power Storage, a designer and developer of large-scale energy storage solutions for utility and distributed power systems, has agreed to enter ACRE, New York City's business incubator for smart cities, smart grid and clean energy at the Urban Future Lab (UFL) located at the NYU Tandon School of Engineering.
ITER Completes Niobium-Tin Procurement
The ITER community is celebrating a significant milestone: the end of a nine-year campaign to procure 88 km of niobium-tin superconductor for ITER's toroidal field coils. The total represents some 825 tons of material with an estimated market value of 350 million euros. Six ITER Members—China, Europe, Japan, Korea, Russia and the United States—participated in the process, ITER's longest running procurement effort.
CERN Events Encourage Next Generation of Women in Science
In physics, as in many other branches of science, there is often a huge gap between the number of men and women. At CERN, for example, only 20 percent of the community are women. In an attempt to encourage and attract more women to choose science—and particularly physics—as a career, CERN recently held events supporting both Gender in Physics Day and the International Day of Women and Girls in Science.

Let a Dad Mansplain His Theory about the Meaning of Tom King's Eisner-Nominated Mister Miracle
by Omar L. Gallaga/
Last weekend, the 12-issue limited comic Mister Miracle by Tom King and Mitch Gerads was nominated for an Eisner Award (aka comics' version of the Oscars) for Best Limited Series; King and Gerads also received individual nods for their writing and art, respectively, and the series received an additional nod for a cover by artist Nick Derington.
Mister Miracle (B&N Exclusive Edition)
Paperback $22.49 | $24.99
See All Formats & Editions ›
None of this is at all surprising. The duo of King and Gerads picked up wins for the series last year too, and the quality of the book only improved, all the way up to the final panel. It ranks right up there with King's other recent high-profile, self-contained series, The Vision and The Sheriff of Babylon. It's the story of Scott Free, an escape artist originally created by the '70s-era pen of Jack Kirby. Reinvented for our current anxiety-ridden age, he is an anxious, quiet, modern White Guy With Problems. He just also happens to be a god who was tortured as a child on the DC Comics planet of Apokolips. He's married to another god named Big Barda, who was raised under similarly hellish circumstances. They're fighting a war back home while also living here on Earth and dealing with their laughably small L.A. apartment, bad traffic, and, most notably, the fallout from Scott's suicide attempt in the first issue's opening panels.
(Spoilers follow.)
Hardcover $35.99 | $39.99
It's a moment that informs and haunts every nine-paneled page of every issue that follows, centering the book around a central mystery: did Scott's most ambitious escape—an escape from the pain of his life—succeed? Or did he actually kill himself, leaving us with an Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge-style narrative of what's flashing through his mind at the moment of death? Or by opening Death's door, did he also open up an alternate timeline that his life must now follow? Is he infected by the Anti-Life Equation?
There are visual cues throughout the comic, right up to the end, that suggest it's all either a hallucination, a glitch in whatever reality we're being presented, or some kind of broadcast or test. Ultimately, it doesn't matter on a narrative level; it's truly a metaphor for depression and trauma. Can Scott be convinced to stop trying to escape his own life's joys and sorrows? How can anyone, Scott and Barda included, go on living when in a universe full of genocide, war, and so much darkness? Who wouldn't want to break free of it all?

But I come today to suggest that as a dad—a card-carrying, joke-making, yelling-to-knock-that-racket-off-in-there Dad of two—that I have a very simple theory to explain what's happening, or at least eliminate some of the possibilities that King acknowledges he has left open to interpretation via the story's ambiguous conclusion.
As a reader and as a dad (have I mentioned we have a club for Dads? We meet once a month at Red Lobster and always ask for extra cheesy biscuits), I was profoundly impacted by Mister Miracle. The themes of bringing life into a world you have serious misgivings about resonated, as did the detailed documenting of what the post-birth period is like—its stretches of incredible tedium butting up against otherworldly happiness. The moments of awkward waiting and family drama at the hospital during childbirth, the struggle to get reliable childcare, using a stroller to cleverly smuggle goods you might need into a place they're not allowed—King knows of which he writes here.
These are not the concerns of or the details known to a person who's never had a baby.
And to me, a Dad (we don't carry cards, but we have matching bowling shirts), it's clear that the only way Scott Free would truly know these things—the reality of what it feels like, and looks like, and smells like, and how it preys on the mind—would be to experience those moments for himself. They are not the constructs the mind of a non-dad could conjure up in his last gasps of life. They are not the kinds of Dadtails (a term we coined that means "details concerning Dads!") that an invasive computer program could come up with on the fly. Darkseid Is a lot of things, but he's not an expert on newborn crib safety and onesie sizes.
My Dad Theory™ is simply this: Scott Free wouldn't, can't, and will never know Dadness in his bones like that unless he has experienced fatherhood for himself, entering the Brotherhood of Dads Who Are Not Necessarily Brothers (we all have Xbox Live accounts). Scott Free, therefore, is alive throughout Mister Miracle. Something weird is certainly going on; Scott Free is not right a lot of the time, and he's got a lot to deal with. He's talking to dead people. His panels sometimes look like they're inside a microwave oven that's about to catch fire. Maybe there's a glitch in his brain or in the world around him.
But the one thing Scott Free doesn't have to deal with is the question of whether he's already dead.
We may be Dads, but we're still alive, dammit. Picking kids up from Robotics Club. Telling bad jokes on Twitter. Losing money at fantasy football.
Scott Free, alive and well, is one of us. A Dad.
And yes, we do call this living.
Mister Miracle is available now in an exclusive Barnes & Noble edition featuring a variant cover, a special introduction, and the complete script of issue #1.

These stairs at an apartment complex were sinking and pulling away from the structure. Our crew used our Polylevel foam to lift them back into place. The "exposed" foam was then sprayed with waterproof gray paint so that it looked like concrete.
This large patio was cracked and broken. It was unusable to the homeowner.
In one day, we lifted and leveled the concrete and sealed all the joints.
The homeowner was so happy that he could now use his patio again to host parties!
The front porch of this home was sinking and allowing water to drain back underneath the home.

How The Points System Works In Every State: Part Seven
So far in this series, we've gone over how the points systems, or other programs like them, work in Alabama, all the way through to Minnesota to keep drivers who endanger other drivers off the road as much as possible.
If you're new here and don't know the rules behind these programs, it's simple: Traffic violations, such as speeding and driving under the influence, earn those who commit them a certain number of points – or a specific consequence, such as paying a fine – on their driving record.
Too many points or occurrences accumulated on your record earn you a more hefty consequence, such as suspension of your driver's license, and eventually could lead to you losing your license altogether.
Here, we'll be going over the way these systems work from where we left off in the last one – Mississippi.
In the state of Mississippi, no point system penalizes drivers based on the points accrued from traffic violations.
However, while there is no system like there is in most other states, there are still records and consequences for those who do commit these infractions.
Each ticket issued to a driver for offenses of the road will go on their driving record and is easily accessible by insurance companies and potential employers, and if you fail to pay the traffic ticket within the required amount of time, your driver's license will be suspended.
This will result in taking the necessary actions to reinstate your driver's license, and this process is extremely time-consuming and costly for the individual.

In Missouri, you will earn points on your driving record after being found guilty of disobeying the traffic laws.
The number of points earned and the length of time which they remain on your record depend entirely on the severity of the offense. If you accrue too many points on your record within a certain amount of time, certain events will occur:
4 or more points in 1 year: The Missouri Department of Revenue will issue a warning letter which will inform you of your status, and the danger of you losing your driving privileges;
8 or more points within 18 months: Your driver's license will be suspended for 30 days for the first suspension, 60 days for the second, and 90 for any suspension after.
12 or more points in 1 year, 18 or more in 2 years, or 24 or more in 3 years: Your license will be revoked for 1 year.
If your license gets suspended, you will not be permitted to drive unless you have applied for a limited driving privilege permit, which allows an individual to drive to and from school, work, doctor's appointments, or other essential activities.
This is not available to all drivers, however, so the best thing for you to do is just obey the traffic laws.

Where other states allow you to work to get a point removed or reduced from your record or allow points to disappear after several years, the state of Montana doesn't make it so easy.
The points are on your record indefinitely, and getting them removed is time-consuming and expensive to do.
This state issue points based on the following system:
Vehicular homicide: 15 points;
Negligent homicide: 12 points;
Negligent vehicular assault: 12 points;
Vehicular felonies: 12 points;
DUI: 10 points;
BAC of 0.08% or higher: 10 points;
Driving with a suspended or revoked license: 6 points;
Reckless driving: 5 points;
Racing/Speed contests: 5 points;
Insurance violations: 4 points;
No driver's license: 2 points;
All other moving violations: 2 points.
If you have had your license suspended or revoked in the state of Montana, all is not necessarily lost; they give you the option of applying for a probationary license if you meet all eligibility requirements…however, if you are caught driving with a revoked license, you could be facing jail time, heavy fines, or additional time added to your revocation period.

In Nebraska, the points system works much like a few others; the number of points is based on the severity of the offense.
The offenses which will earn you points in this state include:
DUI (Driving under the influence) of drugs or alcohol;
Speeding – this depends on where the offense occurred and how many miles per hour you were going over the legal limit;
Willful reckless driving;
Failure to yield to a pedestrian resulting in bodily injury, and;
Failure to yield to a pedestrian does not result in bodily injury.
If you receive a certain number of points within a specific period, your license will be revoked.
This limit is 12 points within 2 years, and reinstating a revoked license has more stringent process requirements than reinstating a suspended license.

All ribbon buttons inherit their context menu from the ribbon. Is there a way to stop this?
but this did no good.
Is there a way to override the button's context menu?
Please take a look at the "Customizing Context Menus" topic in the "Controls" section of the Ribbon documentation. That tells you how you can customize context menus.
I don't what to custimize it. I want to turn it off. Allowing ribbion minimize in in the content of a popup makes no sense. The ribbon minimizie command should only apper in the ribbon tabs. Not on every button.
Sorry but that's the only way you can hide it, by doing the customization.


This paper contributes to the debate being conducted in academic and public policy-making circles concerning the promotion of work and self-employment opportunities from people facing social exclusion. Using data gathered from semi-structured interviews conducted in a West Midlands ethnic business support agency, the paper explores the nature and effectiveness of the support that it offers to members of the local Asian business community. The paper's findings point tentatively towards the strengths and weaknesses of the Agency's provision and the main environmental constraints upon its work. Tentative recommendations are also made for the future development of support for Asian businesses in the locality, focusing on the advantages of improved collaboration between locally-based business support providers.

MILT GABLER APPROVES: RAY SKJELBRED, MARC CAPARONE, JIM BUCHMANN, KATIE CAVERA, BEAU SAMPLE, HAL SMITH at SAN DIEGO (Nov. 4, 2014)
Few readers of JAZZ LIVES were actually enjoying the music on Fifty-Second Street, or at a Jimmy Ryan's jam session, or were in the audience after-hours in Harlem, Chicago, or Kansas City. What we have now are reminiscences, photographs, and the very rare live recording. We have to rely on issued recordings for evocations of those times and places, and — infrequently — live performances in this century. Every so often, I am sitting in front of a band whose musical energy is so wise, so deep, and so intense, that I say to myself, "That's what it might have sounded like at the Lincoln Gardens," or "uptown in 1941," or "at the Reno Club."
This performance — recorded on November 4, 2014, at the San Diego Jazz Fest — made me think, "This is an unissued Commodore session . . . rejected because it ran too long." I don't have higher praise than that, and since I think the dead know, I believe that Milt Gabler is feeling the good spirits too.
Milt Gabler
The musicians (or wizards of feeling?) are Ray Skjelbred, piano and inspiration; Marc Caparone, cornet; Jim Buchmann, clarinet; Katie Cavera, guitar; Beau Sample, string bass; Hal Smith, drums.
The song chosen is really a layer-cake of three. First, DIGA DIGA DOO (by Jimmy McHugh and Dorothy Fields) — a song made for romping, even though its people-of-color-are-so-hedonistic lyrics are now hard to sing. It's overlaid by KRAZY KAPERS, a riff created at the 1933 "Chocolate Dandies" session overseen by John Hammond (the awful band title aside, it was a hot mixed group), and then the song that Ray murmurs about — the one that went too long at Carnegie Hall — Louis Prima's SING SING SING, with or without commas, which gives Ray a chance to evoke Jess Stacy, always welcome.
When I was busily setting up the video on YouTube — writing a title, description, and creating tags, one of the suggested tabs that the YT machinery came up with was
My feelings exactly.
It's in moments like this — nearly seven minutes of moments — that I feel I'm doing the important work of my life (with no offense meant to the students I teach) . . . attempting to make the evanescent permanent, attempting to make the local heroes world-famous. It makes the knapsack with cameras and tripod feel feathery, not burdensome.
And — quite relevant to this music — I just read that Mosaic Records has completed an eight-CD set of the complete Commodore and Decca recordings of Eddie Condon and Bud Freeman, which will be available in mid-April. Need I say more?

STATEWIDE — A beautiful morning inspires you to head to your marina, board your boat, and sail out into the Pacific Ocean for a short fishing trip, visit to another marina or multi-day trip to Catalina Island. But, before you head out on a sail, should you file a float plan?
Why have a float plan?
Ramon "Ray" Evans of the U.S. Coast Guard Auxiliary in Orange County said a float plan is integral to boating safety.
He added a float plan often comes in handy when a vessel goes missing and harbor patrol or Coast Guard needs to do a search-and-rescue.
A BoatUS blog states float plans help provide peace of mind and arms first responders with clues of where your vessel might be if something goes wrong.
"A float plan lets your family and friends know your whereabouts and, should a trip come to grief, the plan will give the searchers a valuable head start locating your boat," the BoatUS blog stated.
Arv Larson, a liveaboard at Sunroad Marina in San Diego, said communication with a responsible party on land is an important element of a float plan.
Float plans, Larson explained, serve as a backup measure for whenever a boater is lost or loses communication.
A story in The Log described one instance when a float plan proved lifesaving in the most interesting of ways.
Santa Barbara resident Scott Burns was on his boat just off Santa Cruz Island in May 2015 when he was picked up by Harbor Patrol and brought back to the mainland. Burns, once ashore, was taken to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Beverly Hills, where he would receive the new pair of kidneys he had sought since 2012. No one was able to communicate with Burns when the kidneys became available after a three-year wait. However he did leave a float plan with his wife, detailing his schedule and location.
Burns' wife was informed of her husband's turn in line. She informed harbor officials her husband's request for a kidney transplant was granted and shared with them his float plan. The Harbor Patrol was able to use the float plan to find Burns at Santa Cruz Island and ensure he would be on his way to receive his kidney transplant.
Float plan forms are readily available online via Coast Guard Auxiliary or California's Division of Boating and Waterways (Cal Boating). The federal float plan is three pages long and includes a guide to instruct the landside holder of the plan of how to respond should a boater not return to port as stated in the paperwork. California's form is significantly shorter.
Boaters can download a float plan form from the Coast Guard Auxiliary's website (floatplancentral.cgaux.org). The form asks boaters to fill out key information about vessel identification and propulsion, communication and navigation equipment, distress signals, gear, and information about the vessel operator and passengers aboard.
The Coast Guard Auxiliary recommends the boater and holder to periodically check in with each other as prescribed in the float plan, if anything changes while at sea, and when the journey is completed. Vessel operators are also instructed to share the "Boater Emergency Guide" with the holder to outline what to do if the boat does not return home and begin the search and rescue process if the vessel does not return as planned.
Cal Boating also offers a float plan form (dbw.ca.gov/PDF/FloatPlanForm.pdf). At the top of the form is a checklist where the boat operator must verify whether the vessel is in good condition, properly loaded, and has an ample fuel supply. Boaters can verify whether they have several items onboard, such as tools, life jackets, throw-able devices, fire extinguishers, visual distress signals, oars/paddles, good anchoring equipment, bailing device, VHF radio, flashlight, a first aid kit and an extra starting battery.
Below the checklist is an area where the boat operator provides greater details of the float plan, such as who is operating the boat and where he or she lives and can be contacted. The vessel operator is also asked to include the contact information of someone on land, specific details about the boat, how many people are aboard, radio frequency, and the planned journey.
Cal Boating's form informs boaters to cancel a submitted float plan upon returning to the home marina or harbor.
Boaters are suggested to fill out each form before each trip.
The BoatUS form is one-page long and requires the vessel operator to fill in as much information as possible about the boat, contact, and journey.
Agencies and boating groups regularly advise boaters to file any and all float plans with a trusted contact on land, such as a significant other, family member or friend. Boaters can also leave a float plan with the harbormaster at their respective marina.
Only reach out to the Coast Guard in the event the vessel does not make a safe return as detailed in the float plan.
Evans said a responsible friend or family members should be aware of any water outings.
Boaters should inform marina staff of longer excursions.
Cal Boating explicitly instructs boaters to cancel the float plan upon safe return to port.
Evans said failing to cancel a float plan "could result in a costly and unnecessary search." He was unsure whether a boater would face fines or other penalties for a search-and-rescue attempt despite arriving safely at port.
Filing a float plan is not a formal requirement. A float plan is only as valuable as the person with whose stead it is trusted, Larson pointed out.
Larson said he often leaves a float plan with his harbormaster.
One boater, Bryan Hull, told The Log he has never filed a formal float plan but has kept someone on land in the loop whenever he takes the high seas for a prolonged trip.


I strap the belt of my shoulder bag around my waist, hunkering down for the steep, seven-kilometer hike to the top of the thickly forested mountain.
The trail starts as a paved road winding up a narrow canyon, foot traffic only. I pass young couples pushing babies in strollers with older children in tow. I pass senior couples, strolling hand-in-hand, taking in the fresh mountain air. I pass youths with tattoos and funky hairdos, chatting and laughing as they climb. Sometimes the hikers pass me, as I rest on a broad wooden bench by the wayside. They all offer friendly greetings.
At one point, I veer off the pedestrian road onto a wooden boardwalk that parallels the road for half a mile, pausing to read interpretative signs about the trees I might find here – fir, spruce, pine, poplar, birch – and the creatures that inhabit these dense forests – bears, wolves, lynx, badgers, chipmunks, deer.

Khabib Nurmagomedov claims Dan Hooker can only beat Islam Makhachev with a 'lucky punch'
By Thomas Ward
Published: 06 Oct 2021, 13:17
Khabib Nurmagomedov believes Dan Hooker's only chance of beating his protégé Islam Makhachev is with a 'lucky' sucker-punch.
Former UFC lightweight champion Nurmagomedov expects Makhachev will be too much for Hooker - and the UFC 267 main card bout stopped.
But he accepts it is going to be a 'very big challenge' for Makhachev after watching the New Zealander put in one of the most impressive performances of his career in his last outing against Nasrat Haqparast.
Nurmagomedov - who trains with Makhachev at American Kickboxing Academy in California - revealed: "Islam vs. Dan Hooker is gonna be a very big challenge for Islam.
"It's gonna be a good challenge. He's No. 6 in the rankings, but I think Hooker never fought someone like Islam.
"All his fights have been against striker. I don't know what he's going to do with Islam's wrestling, pressure, dominance on the ground, how he's gonna stop him.
"Only one thing he has is a lucky punch. Without this, 99 percent Islam mauls him."
Earlier this year, UFC president Dana White met with Nurmagomedov in a failed attempt to persuade him to come out of retirement.
But Nurmagomedov, 33, claims he 'does not think anything' could tempt him back to the UFC after revealing he had agreed with his mother to retire following the death of his father Abdulmanap.
The Dagestani wrestler, who boasts a record of 29 wins and no defeats, said to BBC Sport in London: "It was very tough. it was a tough time in my life because I just lost my father in July and fought in October.
"When my father died, my mother and I made the decision that it was going to be the last fight. I fought for a legacy and only came into sport to make history and to give motivation to the younger generations.
"If you are from the mountain, are from a poor part of the world, if you have a dream you can do whatever you want. I defended my title twice with my father but I wondered why I need to follow this path without my father?
"One day everything will come to an end anyway and it was a perfect time to finish. I think this was the right decision to retire, even after a year it was a good decision."
The ultimate Khabib Nurmagomedov quiz: Where was he born?
Nurmagomedov, 33, has known Makhachev since early childhood and started wrestling at the age of eight under the tutelage of his father Abdulmanap.
And Nurmagomedov believes his father 'sacrificed his life to invest in me and my brothers' - and shared an insight into a typical day in the life for both fighters growing up together in the mountain regions of Dagestan.
He said: "All my life, my father never had a business. I don't know how he made money; all his life he spent investing in people.
"I remember when we were kids, he took me, my brother and cousins from the village and moved to the city. There were not too many opportunities and we lived in one house for 10 years. Some went to school but we trained together morning and night.
"It was like an army life. All day he tried to teach us good manners, push us in education, push us in the gym and he sacrificed his life to invest in me and my brothers. From this house there have been seven world UFC champions and all these guys have helped a lot of people."
