A couple of months ago I was researching neutral density filters for long exposure landscape photography when I came across a forum post describing an alternative. I learned that Nikon's DSLRs will add a number of exposures together (the maximum depends on the body) into a NEF RAW file with what they call "Multiple Exposure" mode. The summation of the set of images into a single file has an effect similar to a long exposure. In some cases it has an even bigger effect because you can control the delay between each exposure, something useful when blurring moving clouds, for example. The advantage of doing this in camera is that the output is a RAW file, making it much more editable (or so I'd expected).
I first tried out the mode in Elora, Ontario in the gorge where the Irvine Creek meets the Grand River. I brought water sandals so that I could stand in the river and my tripod with ball head for quick and easy framing. I mainly used the AF-S 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5g on the D810. I added a circular polarizer to cut down on glare, remove reflections from the water and slow down the shutter speed by a couple of stops.
I shot at in aperture priority, f/11 to f/16 at ISO Low 1 (ISO 31). Shutter speeds varied from 0.5 to 1.6 seconds. After framing and taking a test image I set the camera to sum 10 shots with auto gain on. With auto gain the camera takes 10 shots, each at 1/10th of the total exposure (I assume shutter speed) and then adds them together to match the total exposure as if it had been one shot. In fact, the EXIF data reports the conditions as if it had been one photo. I was pretty happy with the way the photos looked! The water was blurred but the non-moving scenery was nice and sharp. After downloading the images to my computer and trying some edits in Lightroom my happiness faded.
Above is the NEF using just Lightroom's default import settings. Below is the image after some normal edits.
Here are a couple of crops, showing clipping at the top left and posterization on the bottom left.
I had a hunch. I checked the image settings and confirmed that I was shooting in 12 bits. The D810 is capable of generating 14 bit files but I don't use them because I've honestly never needed to. However, in multiple exposure mode each of the images that make up the final image is shot underexposed.
In 12 bits images there are 4096 DN (digital numbers, or signal levels). Let's say a very dark object uses 10 DN in a 12 bit image. Now, when shooting in multiple exposure mode with 10 images, that 10 DN object is only going to be 1 DN in each of the images because the exposure is 1/10th of normal. 1 DN is well into the noise floor and could even show up as 0 DN (i.e. clipped). When adding the 10 images together, all those noise-limited pixels remain clipped or at least heavily affected by noise. 14 bit images have 16384 DN worth of information. The same dark object that was 10 DN in 12 bit mode would be 40 DN in 14 bit mode. At 1/10th of the exposure you'd have 4 DN of signal, which is much less likely to clip.
Likewise, smoothly varying features like water and sky lose a lot of data when underexposed and can become posterized.
The 12 bit image is horrible! The 14 bit image is pretty good. Looking closely it's still not perfect compared to the single 14 bit image but still passable. I haven't found any discussion of this condition online which is why I'm writing this post.
With my newfound knowledge, I returned to Elora a few weeks later and this time shot entirely in 14 bit mode. I think the outcome was much better!

Comment: re MB's description: the original uploader was me: Freddyfly. I uploaded what I had... no junk pages. Yes, scans were originally by 'bhcomics', with whom I trade scans, but he's not interested in uploading or credit. MB has added most of the junk pages, and my upload had been removed, so he now gets credit for the upload.
Comment: I applaud anyone who adds missing pages back to a scanned comic. I wouldn't buy a comic with ads or text pages cut out nor will I download one except to fix it.
Comment: Big 3 are Blue Beetle, The Flame (twice) with his fire gun, and super strong Samson (who is also a regular Goldilocks). There is also a Cosmic Carson story, but the most interesting by far is Dr. Doom, a mad scientist working with aliens, by Richard Crater. It has some strange and genuinely different art that would be worthy of someone like Fletcher Hanks. Weird story.
Synopsis: The Blue Beetle and Joan go after a vicious criminal mastermind, who seeks to murder the James brothers, a group of scientists who once fired him for stealing radium.
Synopsis: Samson has to battle the vicious Dr. Blood and his "Inner Crime Ring, which, because it needs capital, goes on a robbery spree, killing anyone who gets in their way.
Synopsis: The Flame battles a ruthless gang of jewel smugglers, saving a girl several times in the process, whose intent was to squeal to the District Attorney about the gang's activities.
Synopsis: The Flame battles a murdering gang of money lenders, who are trying to bleed dry people who borrowed money from them.
Synopsis: German U-Boat U-134 found a likely target and rose to the surface to attack. But none of the shells had any impact on the ship, which they discovered, to their horror, to be The Flying Dutchman!

"Global Sleep Apnea Devices Market" Report of Market Research Future explores Scope of the Study as Research Objective, Assumptions and Limitations in-depth. The report gives Market Dynamics by Drivers, Restraints, Opportunities, Challenges, Macroeconomic Indicators and Technology Trends & Assessment.
The global sleep apnea device market is expected to reach an approximate CAGR of 7.8% during the forecast period. Globally the market for sleep apnea devices is increasing rapidly due to growth in the increasing number of patients for sleep apnea on account of increasing obesity problems globally and also due to the increasing number of Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) patients along with the increasing aging population. The factors that influence the growth of the sleep apnea device market are the increasing demand for devices instead of surgeries to cure sleep disorders and increasing advanced technologies in the sleep apnea device market.
However, high cost of sleep devices and availability of alternate methods for sleep apnea are restraining the growth of the global sleep apnea devices market.
ResMed (U.S), Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Limited (New Zealand), Koninklijke Philips N.V. (Netherlands), GE Healthcare U.S), Braebon Medical Corporation (Canada), ImThera Medical Inc. (U.s), Cadwell Industries, Inc(U.S), Invacare Corporation (U.s), BMC Medical Co, Ltd (China), Curative Medical (U.S) and others.
Some of the key players in the global sleep apnea device market are Cadwell Laboratories Inc, MedTech, Fisher & Paykel Healthcare Limited, Consumer Sleep Solution LLC, Invacare Corporation, Natus Medical Incorporated, Nihon Kohden Corporation, Philips Healthcare, Resmed Inc, Koninklijke Philips, SomnoMed, Compumedics, Lowenstein Medical, Drive Devilbiss Healthcare, BMC Medical, and Braebon Medical Corporation.
The global sleep apnea device market is segmented on the basis of type and end-user. By type, the sleep apnea device market is segmented into therapeutic and diagnostic sleep apnea devices. Based on therapeutic device, the sleep apnea device market is further sub-segment into Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP), Positive Airway Pressure (PAP) devices, facial interfaces (mask), accessories, oral appliances, Adaptive Servo-Ventilators (ASV), and other therapeutic devices such as oxygen concentrators and airway clearance systems. The therapeutic device segment accounted for the largest share of the global sleep apnea device market in 2016. Moreover, the PAP device segment accounted for the largest growth of the therapeutic device market in 2017 owing to technological advancements that made these devices compact, comfortable, and easy to use to ensure better patient compliance. The diagnostic device segment has been further sub-segmented into Polysomnographs (PSG) and oximeter.
Based on end-user, the sleep apnea device market is further segmented into sleep laboratories, hospitals, home care. The home care/individual segment is estimated to grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period.
The sleep apnea device market is divided into four major regions, namely, – North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and the rest of the world. North America has the largest share in the sleep apnea device market. Major factors contributing to the large share of this segment include the high growth of home sleep testing devices, increasing prevalence of sleep apnea, and increasing funds by private and government institutions to promote the awareness of sleep apnea as well as launch novel and technologically-advanced products in this market.
Asia-Pacific is expected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period. Factors influencing the growth of this region include increasing prevalence of sleep apnea disorders, undiagnosed pool in countries such as India, and initiatives by the government and other private organizations to raise awareness regarding sleep disorder.
The European region is projected to register the highest CAGR during the forecast period due to use of non-invasive and painless cardiorespiratory monitors that are used to assess the oxygen saturation level of arterial blood.
The Middle East and Africa holds the least share in the global sleep apnea device market due to the presence of stringent government policies and poor economies.


From January until March 2016, European based record label Music On Vinyl will reissue three Death Cab For Cutie albums, originally released by Atlantic Records / Warner Music Group. All albums will be pressed on 180 gram audiophile vinyl. The albums intended for release are Plans (2005), Narrow Stairs (2008) and Codes And Keys (2011).
Plans (MOVLP1314 / 2LP) is the band's fifth studio album, containing three singles: "Soul Meets Body", "Crooked Teeth", and "I Will Follow You into the Dark", with all three songs charting. The latter became Death Cab for Cutie's best-selling single to-date, and gained the band a nomination for a Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals the following year.
Narrow Stairs (MOVLP1376 / 1LP) is the band's sixth studio album, containing four singles: "I Will Possess Your Heart", "Cath...", "No Sunlight", and "Grapevine Fires". Narrow Stairs debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, making it Death Cab for Cutie's highest charting album to-date.
The album was nominated for the "Best Alternative Music Album" award at the 51st Grammy Awards. In addition, "I Will Possess Your Heart" was nominated for "Best Rock Song", and named iTunes UK song of the year 2008.
Codes And Keys (MOVLP1477 / 2LP)is the band's seventh studio album, originally released in 2011. A much less guitar-centric album than the band ever made before, the band surprised the world with their compelling venture to new horizons.
The album received a Nomination in the 54th Grammy Awards for Best Alternative Music Album.

NHS 111 In Complete Chaos Thanks To Conservative Government
Most of the current Conservative Cabinet and other Tory MPs
NHS Direct was launched in 1998 after the former Labour government identified a need for a telephone health advice line staffed by nurses as part of its plans to modernise the NHS.
NHS Direct's core service was the provision of health advice to the public through the national telephone service or through digital channels including the website 24 hours per day 365 days per year.
In 2010 before the Coalition government changed NHS Direct it was there to:
Make a difference to the lives of people in England, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year
NHS Direct was used by 27000 people a day and cost £123 million per year to run
NHS Direct was a service "currently" there for people whenever they had health worries
NHS Direct had the knowledge and experience to give the public real help and reassurance.
NHS Direct's vision was to be the national healthline, providing expert health advice, information and reassurance, using their world class telephone service and website, and to be the NHS' provider of choice for telephone and digitally delivered health services.
NHS Direct was NOT just a telephone healthline. They also offer commissioned services to other parts of the NHS to help them meet their patients' needs.
NHS Direct also offered *out of hours support for GPs and dental services; *telephone support for patients with long-term conditions; *pre and post operative support for patients; *24 hour response to health scares, and *remote clinics via telephone.
NHS Direct evidence suggests that the expert advice of nurses has kept one and a half million people out of A & E, and saved the NHS £213 million pounds a year. (Dr Peter Carter, RCN Chief Executive & General Secretary)
Now the NHS Direct service has been totally ruined by an incompetent Conservative and Liberal Democrat government who took an efficiently functioning service and for no apparent reason decided to change it (simply because they could). The government has introduced mayhem and the once extremely well functioning NHS Direct service is in chaos with serious risk to life.
Just as the government were warned repeatedly back in 2010, all this has come to pass since the new NHS 111 service went live.
NHS Direct to be replaced by cut price health service

British Medical Association (BMA) Implore Government to delay NHS 111
NHS 111 Delayed in 24 regions after BMA warning
GPs want greater transparency in the way NHS 111 is being run as external review is launched
BMA Calls to halt NHS 111 (March 2013)
Health Minister Threatened with ejection from Royal College [for dishonesty]
Video: NHS 111 Puts patients at risk says BMA (Compulsive viewing)
22 NHS 111 serious untoward incidents reported, including three deaths
The Tory government sacked trained nurses and reduced the number of doctors in each call centre replacing them with telephone operators with a maximum of 60 hours training placing them in a position to deal with the nation's health care. That's telephone operators with approximately one week's training who are now currently advising you on your health care, your children's healthcare and your elderly relatives healthcare!
Back in 2010 when this news first broke the immediate questions were:
How can untrained staff cope with the volume of calls requiring urgent medical advice?
How would Accident and Emergency departments cope with sudden influx of people who were not being adequately advised by the government's new NHS 111 service?
Which private sector companies were going to benefit from the destruction and dismantling of NHS Direct?
How much are the contracts worth and crucially are there any Tory backing financial donors among them?
What has actually happened is:
Telephone operators who have been unable and not confident to advise people on health problems and have had no qualified medical professional available to ask, have sent people straight to A&E departments
People dissatisfied with the new service and have been incorrectly advised by undertrained telephone operators has led to serious risk to health have also gone to A&E
Others generally dissatisfied with their advice have stopped phoning NHS 111 and gone straight to their Accident & Emergency departments.
This has put a tremendous strain on hospitals emergency departments across the country and they have been unable to cope with the influx.
The government simply cannot say they were not warned and neither can they try to blame the previous Labour government as the current Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt has tried to do. It will not wash as NHS Direct was working extremely well and waiting times and attendees to A&E Departments were down and completely under control before this current government decided to meddle with the system. To try to blame Labour for this is deeply dishonest. This is solely a problem caused by the current government, who were warned repeatedly what their unnecessary policy changes would cause, but chose to ignore the warnings of health care professionals.
In 2010, the Royal College of Nursing Union (RCN - not known for militancy) spoke out against the Conservative government's decision to change the NHS Direct service.
RCN comments on NHS Direct
The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) today commented on media reports that telephone advice service NHS Direct is to be scrapped.
Dr Peter Carter, RCN Chief Executive & General Secretary, said:
"NHS Direct has developed over recent years into a service that many patients really value. Nurses have led the way in making this a service which can offer reassurance and advice as well as identifying when people are in need of urgent care. The evidence suggests that the expert advice of nurses has kept one and a half million people out of A & E, and saved the NHS £213 million pounds a year. It would be shortsighted to cut back on the experts who deliver these long term savings.
"We would be extremely concerned if the expertise it offers is indeed under threat. We urge the government to consult fully and look at all the evidence before enacting changes which could leave people without expert advice from trained nurses."
Royal College of Nursing (RCN) is the voice of nursing across the UK and is the largest professional union of nursing staff in the world. The RCN promotes the interest of nurses and patients on a wide range of issues and helps shape healthcare policy by working closely with the UK Government and other national and international institutions, trade unions, professional bodies and voluntary organisations.
RCN; Royal College Nursing - RCN
The government ignored all warnings about not only NHS Direct/NHS111, they have ignored all warnings about the effects their Health and Special Care reforms Act of 2012 will have on the NHS coming from approximately 98% of medical professionals.
The problems experienced by NHS 111 will not be confined to that service, they will, and are spreading to other parts of the NHS as profit takes precedence of patient care.
As a former health care professional of many years standing, I warned about these dangers right from the word go, this blog is littered with warnings not just from me but from right across the NHS and have all been ignored and are still being ignored and the right wing Tory supporting press and broadcast media (BBC and Sky News, ITV, Ch 4) are largely allowing these warnings and problems to go unreported in a bid to keep the public from knowing what the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats are doing to the NHS and the *fact* that it is being slowly privatised right under the public's noses by a deceitful dishonest lying Tory government and in doing so they are risking the health of this nation, that is YOU and YOUR family.

Our NHS is being privatised by stealth and the man who said "the NHS was safe in his hands" and "there will be no more reorganisation of the NHS" - prime minister, David Cameron is responsible - he lied to you and now he has blood on his hands - just as we warned!
Footnote: Any Future Labour government has promised to repeal the Conservatives Health and Social Care Reforms Act of 2012.
Lets hope they get the chance before any more lasting and unnecessary damage is done to our NHS!

I used xampp several times before and it worked very well. It didn't work since I deleted the xampp folder without stoping any servces.
I am not sure what the problem is, please help!
I had the 2-3 second startThenStop with Apache the other day. It was because of an error in httpd-vhosts.conf due to some tweak I'd messed up.
I don't know if that's your issue.
Passing from windows 7 beta to windows 7 RC and now Windows 7 N I could no more start apache.
The solution anywhere from the net was this, but it works only for xamp 1.7.1.,not for 1.7.2. o r 1.7.3 is on the end of this message.
I there anywhere someone how could say why we cannot easily expect a xampp distribution for windows 7 and / or what kind of issues are probably individual issues and what is the general issue on windows 7.
I wonder why I can read here on this forum from a member that his installation xampp 1.7.3 is workin gfine under windows 7 ?
You should now find that Apache will start on port 80!

Q: DbDataReader causing OutOfMemoryException I'm reading data from an Oracle database using the DbDataReader (OracleDataReader) class. I'm running the program in Visual Studio 2010, with a 64-bit Windows 10 Enterprise laptop with 32GB RAM (20GB free), using .NET 3.5 (upgrading to a newer .NET version isn't an option. The application itself is a 32-bit application (not by choice).
The code looks something like this:
//...some code to setup database connection, command, etc.
DbDataReader reader = null;
int count = 0;

try {
    reader = command.ExecuteReader();
    if(reader.HasRows) {
        while(reader.Read()) {
            count++;
        }
    }
}
finally {
    if(reader != null) { reader.Close(); }
}

Stack trace:
System.OutOfMemoryException was unhandled
    Message=Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown.
    Source=Oracle.DataAccess
    StackTrace:
    at Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleDataReader.Dispose(Boolean disposing)
    at Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleDataReader.Close()
    at Test.Program.Main(String[] args)
    at System.AppDomain._nExecuteAssembly(Assembly assembly, String[] args)

    at System.Threading.ThreadHelper.ThreadStart_Context(Object state)
    at System.Threading.ExecutionContext.Run(ExecutionContext executionContext, ContextCallback callback, Object state)
    at System.Threading.ThreadHelper.ThreadStart()

I've also had this stack trace a number of times:
System.OutOfMemoryException was caught
    Message=Exception of type 'System.OutOfMemoryException' was thrown.
    Source=Oracle.DataAccess
    StackTrace:
        at Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException.HandleErrorHelper(Int32 errCode, OracleConnection conn, IntPtr opsErrCtx, OpoSqlValCtx* pOpoSqlValCtx, Object src, String procedure, Boolean bCheck)
        at Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleException.HandleError(Int32 errCode, OracleConnection conn, IntPtr opsErrCtx, Object src, Boolean bCheck)
        at Oracle.DataAccess.Client.OracleDataReader.Read()
        at Test.Program.Main(String[] args)

I am not allocating any memory myself in this test case, I'm just incrementing an integer, yet I still run out of memory, which tells me that the DbDataReader is allocating memory and probably not deallocating it properly (or in a timely manner). I've tried manually doing garbage collection to see if that helps, but it doesn't. I've also looked into whether the rows it crashes on contain too much data and thus fill up remaining memory, but that doesn't add up either since much larger amounts of data are read from other rows (and discarded) prior to it crashing.
Any ideas/help are greatly appreciated, thank you!

A: After tinkering around a bit with various settings on the OracleCommand and the OracleDataReader, the problem turned out to be that the FetchSize was initially too high on the OracleDataReader.
Setting the FetchSize on the OracleDataReader after the command is executed resolves the problem and allows the application to run without any memory errors.

Rectors and Curates #GOONSblogchallenge – Post 2
As genealogists we spend a lot of time exploring the parishes our families or those we are researching have lived in. I have been very lucky to have ancestors who resided in two parishes where either the Rector or the Curate kept detailed notes, journals or manuscripts of the people who resided in the parish.
Charles Kerry, in later years – From the Puttenham Collection – Julie Goucher
Curate, Rev Charles Kerry was from Derbyshire originally. He spent around 7 years in the rural Surrey parish of Puttenham before moving to Topcliffe in Yorkshire. He eventually returned home to his home County, where he passed away on 1913.
Kerry kept a multitude of notebooks about the people of Puttenham and I was introduced to Kerry by a chap who lived in Puttenham and was active in the local history society there. Kerry's notebooks can be found at Derby city library, with copies of the notebooks on microfilm at the Surrey History Centre, Puttenham and Wanborough history society and Surrey Archaeological Society.
By the time I was introduced to Kerry I had already researched my family who had lived in the village from the early 1700's. The moment I mentioned that my several times great Grandfather was Henry Budd I was quickly told of Kerry and in particular vol 10 of his manuscripts. Volume 10 contains a pedigree tree, drawn by Kerry following his conversations with the people of Puttenham. The tree was substantiated by the parish records and other material that I had already located. On the pedigree, aligned with Henry it says "first of the Budd's". That small statement confirmed what I had already established, that Henry was from elsewhere. He had moved to Puttenham and began raising his family with his wife Martha. It was to take me another 8 years in total before I actually located the marriage, which was in Surrey but a town in the opposite direction from where I had looked, having systematically worked through every parish from Guildford to the border with Hampshire, then Guildford to the border with Sussex.
Manuscript – Vol 10 Charles Kerry
My own direct line stems from Henry, through to his son and grandson, both called Richard. This part of family links downwards to my maternal Grandfather, but the fascination did not step there. What I especially love about this, is the incidental details, the point that Richard could sing, and had a "fine tenor voice". This is just one example of the manuscripts value to local and family historians.
The pedigree sat within my only family lines and I switched across to research my maternal Grandmother's family, which by coincidence descends from the second Richard Budd's sister, Mary the wife of Richard Bridger. The family connects to the families associated with the paper mills of Hampshire and Sussex owned by the Elstone, Pim and Bridger families who resided in Headley Hampshire.
The Rector of Headley, Wallis Hay Laverty was a character similar to Kerry. He kept and made copious notes of the lives of those who lived in Headley and the neighbouring parishes of Bramshott and Frensham, of which the latter is in Surrey, just over the border. The notebooks are online are again, a true value to local and family historians. My maternal Grandfather's family through the descendants of the Budd and Ellis families which join with the Harris families and finally into the Butcher's and are linked, with some featured on this page. A family in true style that gives me a headache as the Harris, Earle (Earl) and Woods families intermarry and then again for good measure!
It was only after I was able to view the scans a few years ago that I was able to spot another genealogical headache and I plan to cover that in a future week of this challenge and thus remove the item from my to do list!
The question of why these men spent hours and hours recording the lives and pedigrees of families they spiritually looked after is worth contemplating. Perhaps this something they found therapeutic, in much the same way we do, in creating these pedigrees. Without the invention of television, nights were likely long, especially in the winter. Perhaps it was also a way of retaining the snippets of information, who married to whom and when etc. Whatever the reason, I am very grateful that the notebooks were kept and they have stood the test of time.

Aurora Police Chief Nick Metz announces retirement, to leave department at end of 2019
Aurora Police Department
Aurora Police Chief Nick Metz announced his retirement from the department on Friday night after 4 ½ years as chief, saying he plans to work at his wife's counseling company and pursue finishing his master's degree in counseling for first responders and military members.
By: Blair Miller
AURORA, Colo. – Aurora Police Chief Nick Metz announced his retirement from the department on Friday night after 4 ½ years as chief, saying he plans to work at his wife's counseling company and pursue finishing his master's degree in counseling for first responders and military members.
"After weeks of soul searching and getting through a successfully unified and pride-filled weekend of addressing protests in our city, I felt this was the optimal time to notify city management of my decision to retire," Metz wrote in a message posted to the Aurora Police Department's Facebook page. "After 36 story-filled years in law enforcement, making the decision to retire was incredibly difficult."
Metz was picked as Aurora's new chief in early 2015 and became the first African-American police chief in Aurora. He was an assistant police chief in the Seattle Police Department prior to that.
"Upon my arrival I was fortunate to be embraced and supported by a wonderfully diverse community. A community that loves its APD. A community that gave me this ultimatum upon my arrival, 'take care of our cops.' Not many major cities throughout the country enjoy that level of community support, from all neighborhoods, like APD," he wrote Friday.
He said his next plans involve counseling for first responders and that he will be working for his wife at Code-4 Counseling.
Metz said he would be enrolling at Colorado State University-Global to help create training programs and to finish a Master's degree in counseling for first responders and the military. He said the program would be the first of its kind in the country. He said he also planned to train and handle a therapy dog.
He said he would remain in his position "till the end of the year" and would work with the department and city during the transition period. And he asked his officers to continue working for the community, celebrating themselves when they can and to get home safe after each shift. He also thanked city management and the city council.
"Thank you to everyone else for helping to make this lifelong dream come true…making it fun (most times anyway) along the way," Metz wrote. "With the leadership of an incredibly capable, caring, and dedicated command staff, I am excited to watch from the sidelines the great things in store for APD."
"Thank you for your leadership, dedication and service to our community," the department tweeted at Metz Friday night. "While we are excited for your next chapter in life, we are saddened to see you go."

How to Find out if You Qualify for the ERC
For over 18 months, the world was held on a standstill by a pandemic that threatened how we conduct business. At the height of the menace, some firms struggled with staying afloat and had to close up shop. However, other companies adapted hybrid offices to remain in operation.
Now, with the world gradually tilting towards normalcy, it is essential to note that Congress is introducing new business taxes, and you should prepare your business for them. More so, it is necessary to note that the government has introduced tax credits that will benefit your business.
In this article, we will explore everything you need to know about the Employee Retention Credit (ERC) and how to see if you qualify for it.
The Employee Retention Credit is one of the few tax credits introduced by the Department of Treasury and Internal Revenue Service to help small businesses bounce back. It is a refundable tax credit reimbursing business owners for the qualified wages paid to their employees during the pandemic.
This tax credit is from the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) to help employers in the private sector. If you were not opportune to claim other tax credits before, this could be an opportunity for you.
If your business was in operation or kept your employees on the payroll, you should claim the ERC.
ERC Deconstructed
One of the primary aims of the ERC is to encourage small business owners to keep their workers on the payroll – even if the business was not in operation due to COVID lockdown protocols. In a previous article, we discussed the ERC and how you can benefit from it. We also addressed how small business owners who were denied the PPP loans could also apply for the ERC seamlessly.
There has been an update since then. The 2020 Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act, part of the Consolidated Appropriations Act signed at the end of 2020, extended the ERC's scope for eligibility for the whole of 2021.
There is another tax credit called the Paid Leave Tax Credit. This credit reimburses business owners for paid medical and family leave due to COVID-related issues. If any of your workers were on the payroll while being vaccinated, quarantining, or waiting for the COVID test results, you qualify for this tax credit.
How Much Is the ERC?
Initially, the ERC was calculated up to 50% of qualified wages of up to $10,000 paid to employees between March and December 2020. It was meant for small businesses with 100 or fewer employees. Notably, the ERC was limited to $5,000 per employee. Therefore, all wages paid to your workers during the qualification make you eligible for the credit.
However, some amendments have been made this year. The ERC increased its provisions for qualified wages from 50% to 70%. The limit was also increased from $5,000 for the whole year to $7,000 per quarter. This development means you can claim up to $21,000 per employee for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd quarters of 2021 – as opposed to the previous $5,000. The employee limit was also increased from 100 to 500 employees. These changes allow more businesses to qualify for the ERC.
What Qualifies You for the ERC?
If you own a small business with 500 or fewer employees on the payroll but were not working for some parts of 2021, you qualify for the ERC.
If your gross receipts faced a decline of more than 20% in 2021 compared to the previous year, you are eligible for the credit. Additionally, you qualify for the ERC if your business had a full or partial suspension of operations during any calendar quarter because of governmental orders limiting commerce, travel or group meetings due to COVID-19.
Let us break it down:
To qualify for the ERC in 2020, your gross receipts decline must be more than 20% compared to 2019. Thus, you get to claim 50% of your qualified employee wages of up to $5,000. Now, in 2021, if the decline of the gross receipt is more than 20% compared to 2020, you can claim 70% (quarterly) of your employee wages of up to $21,000.
If your business had not been established in 2019, there is no cause for alarm. You can simply compare your quarterly gross receipts with your 2020 gross receipts for eligibility status.
As long as your business
Was fully or partially suspended due to COVID lockdown protocols
Placed workers on the payroll during this period.
Experience a decline in gross receipts compared to the previous year.
Then you can apply for the credit.
How Do You Apply for the ERC?
The following information is needed to claim the Employee Retention Credit:
Rundown of quarterly revenue
Quarterly payroll tax returns
Location of business and number of employees
Rundown of lines of business, including products and services.
Details of wages that were paid to employees for the time not working.
To see if you qualify or if you have any further questions head over to EvolvedERC.
You can also reach out to us to see how we can help your business reduce expenses while boosting your profits.

Comments : we love everyone at Eastside Animal Clinic! their care of our sweet corgi ami rose, and of our beloved corgi tony soprano who passed away 2 years ago, is impeccable. how lucky we are to have such a wonderful practice here for our "babies"! many thanks!
Comments : Thank you for your wonderful care of our labradoodle Archie who got into some pills -- you were great when I brought him in, called me the next day to see how he was doing and then sent me a thank you note -- we felt very well cared for! You were recommended by a friend who went to vet school with Dr.Angstrom, who was off last Wednesday, but Dr. jOhnson was great as was the whole staff!
Comments : We were so impressed by the cleanliness of the entire facility. The staff was very friendly and efficient. Dr. Johnson gave Bentley a boarding exam which was extremely thorough. He was so patient with us in explaining allergies and diet. Bentley was then boarded for three nights. His experience was awesome. I am so thankful to the Caregivers, Maggie and Raven. Eastside Animal Clinic was recommended to us by friends and now we will not hesitate to recommend them to others.
Comments : Thank you to the Eastside Animal Hospital staff and Dr. Johnson for helping me let go of my awesome cat Oscar. Compassionate, caring, understanding, friendly. Thank you all. Also thank you for the sympathy card it meant a lot to me.
Comments : Our cat Gus has been a patient of Dr. Angstrom's and Eastside Animal Clinic for seven years and he is wonderful with her (yes, her). He always answers my questions, allays my fears and I know she is in the best hands. Thank you for all of the great work you and your staff do.
Comments : When our Golden Retriever showed signs of ear problems, I asked friends at Pellican Lake RV Resort where I should take him. They suggested East Side Animal Clinic and I'm so glad they did! The staff was knowledgeable and pleasant. Dr. Carl took time to explain my dog's problem and answered all my questions. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this clinic to anyone with an animal in need of treatment!
Comments : Everyone was incredible...thank you so much for making my emergency visit less stressful. I expected a huge bill because of the emergency nature of my visit. I was pleasantly surprised how reasonable it was..I would highly recommend your clinic. Thank you for your kind attention to my baby....and to me.
Comments : For anyone viewing our testimonials, we want to let you know that we DO NOT have a Dr Bowers here at Eastside Animal Clinic in Naples. Please rest assured that we have only positive remarks from our wonderful client family about our Doctors. We are blessed to have such a great staff. Thank you for all your support & love. We love your four- footed family too!
Comments : I have had a long relationship with Karl, Dr. Johnson and most of the staff for many years now. From taking care of my two quite elderly cats to now my 'three' adoptees. Besides being extremely professional they are also personable, kind and understanding. They know that our pets are part of our family. I wouldn't trade Eastside's team for any other veterinary team in SWFL. I have recommended them to others and have been thanked once they have taken their own pet in. This IS the place to go. Feel free to email me if you have any questions regarding the terrific care my kitties have had.
Comments : I have been a client of the Eastside Animal Clinic since I moved from NY State. Dr. Johnson and Dr Angstrom have always treated my dogs well and I have raved about the care the entire staff provide.
Comments : I sure do miss that lovely assistant, what was her name....?? Judy, JuJu, or Julio? I can't remember. Short in stature but large in work ethics! Love you guys!

If we thought Toy Story 3 was going to be sad, well Toy Story 4 is definitely gonna make us cry since it's reportedly the last one. The teaser trailer premiered this morning and it's just a quick clip of the characters and saying it will be out Summer 2019. Sad to think Don Rickles won't be doing Mr. Potato Head anymore but seems like Alan Tudyk will be taking over the duties. The teaser features a new character called "Forky" as well. Pixar and Toy Story = I'll be seeing this in theaters for sure next summer!
The movie stars Tom Hanks, Tim Allen, Joan Cusack, Annie Potts, Blake Clark, Wallace Shawn, John Ratzenberger and more.

E. Remington and Sons était une entreprise nord-américaine de production industrielle d'armes à feu et de machines à écrire, fondée en 1816 dans l'État de New York par le forgeron Eliphalet Remington II (1793-1861).

Historique

En 1816, Eliphalet Remington II, alors âgé de 22 ans, conçoit et fabrique avec succès son premier fusil, de conception révolutionnaire. Son entreprise connaît un essor remarquable et il transfère sa fabrique (forge et fonderie) en 1828 à Ilion, dans l'État de New York.

Eliphalet Remington II est rejoint en 1839 par son fils aîné, Philo Remington (l'entreprise prend alors le nom « E. Remington & Fils »), puis en 1845 par son second fils, Samuel Remington, et enfin en 1856 par son troisième fils, Eliphalet Remington III.

Au milieu du  leurs armes sont très populaires et font partie de celles les plus utilisées durant la conquête de l'Ouest.

En 1856 l'entreprise s'agrandit et fabrique également des machines agricoles, des équipements sportifs, des bicyclettes et des machines à coudre (fabriquées entre 1870 et 1894 et présentées à l'Exposition universelle de 1876, à Philadelphie).

Production

Machines à écrire
Le  la société commence la fabrication de machines à écrire sous le nom « The "Type-Writer." » en rachetant pour  le brevet d'invention de 1868 de la machine à écrire Sholes et Glidden, de l'inventeur Christopher Latham Sholes. En 1886, E. Remington and Sons revend la partie fabrication de ses machines à écrire, avec le droit d'utiliser le nom Remington, à la société Standard Typewriter Manufacturing Company, rebaptisée Remington Typewriter Company en 1902 et fusionnée avec Rand Kardex Bureau en 1927 pour devenir Remington Rand (fabricant d'ordinateurs pionnier, plus tard Unisys).

Armes à feu légères
La société E. Remington and Sons (dont la partie armement est cédée et rebaptisée Remington Arms en 1888) devient un des plus importants fabricants d'armes du monde en fournissant au gouvernement fédéral des États-Unis une grande partie des armes légères durant la conquête de l'Ouest au , la guerre américano-mexicaine (1846-1848, annexion du Texas), la guerre de Sécession (1861-1865), la participation des États-Unis à la première Guerre mondiale entre 1917 et 1918, et enfin la participation des États-Unis à la seconde Guerre mondiale entre 1941 et 1945. En 1917, lors de la révolution russe, une énorme commande d'armes et de munitions reste impayée par l'Empire russe du tsar Nicolas II, à la suite de son abdication puis son exécution en 1918 et la proclamation de la nouvelle République socialiste fédérative soviétique de Russie, ce qui donne un « coup de grâce » à l'entreprise rachetée durant la Grande Dépression par la firme DuPont, alors un des plus importants fabricants de poudre à canon.

Our boundary dispute solicitors can help you traverse the minefield of these types of disputes. If you have a boundary dispute then whatever the nature of the land, it is desirable to obtain legal advice from a boundary dispute solicitor as soon as possible.
Boundary disputes are commonplace and can arise in relation to all types of land whether commercial, residential or agricultural land. As boundary dispute solicitors we are often involved in boundary wall disputes, or with issues relating to boundary fence ownership. Residential boundary disputes are the most common and can receive a lot of publicity. Property owners can often be very emotive about their boundaries and therefore careful and calm consideration should be given to the best way to resolve a dispute at the outset.
Boundary disputes are an extremely complex area of law. Many people seem to think that the boundary between theirs and the neighbouring property runs in a straight line down the middle of the land. However, this mostly is not the case.
Further difficulties arise when people rely on Land Registry plans. These plans are drawn generally and are not intended to determine boundaries. They are also drawn with thick lines separating the properties and therefore the boundary cannot be ascertained correctly. A width of a line on a plan can equate to several metres on the ground.
Legal advise from a specialist is essential and it will probably be necessary for us to instruct a specialist surveyor with experience of boundary disputes. We are able to make recommendations and have good contacts in the industry.
Where a disputed boundary has been in place for many years the dispute usually turns into an adverse possession case.
Litigation through the Courts should always be a last resort. Particularly in residential situations, property line disputes can be extremely stressful. Often even after the dispute has been resolved, the parties will need to continue residing next to each other.


North: The boundary starts from Thenmala ridge in the north behind the Divisional Forest Office and it passes towards east to Periyamaruthimalai.
East: The boundary passes between the state boundary of Kerala and Tamil Nadu through Periyamaruthimalai and Karimalai.
South: From Karimalai the boundary runs along the Southern boundary of the Division up to 5 kms and then the boundary between natural forests and plantation till it reaches the Kallada Reservoir up to the dam site.
West: Here the boundary passes along the limits of the Reserve forests between Kallada Dam and Thenmala Divisional forest office.
The Inter state boundary length is 21.8 kms.
The boundary of the sanctuary roughly coincides with the watershed boundary of Kallada reservoir in North, East and South thus making it easy for demarcation and management. The outer boundary of the Sanctuary, eastern boundary, is the interstate boundary between Kerala and Tamil Nadu, which is surveyed and demarcated.
There are three private enclosures namely Rosemala, Kallar estate and part of Rockwood estate situated well inside the sanctuary. These private enclosures lie within the notified boundary.

Cuba up next for United States national team in the CONCACAF Gold Cup
By Steve DavisJul 13, 2013, 7:30 AM EDT
Cuba is likely to pose a little more threat today than little Belize could to the United States' stab at dominance in the CONCACAF Gold Cup group stage – but only a little bit more.
There are definitely tougher tasks ahead in the three-week tournament to crown a regional champion in North and Central America and the Caribbean, they are just slow to arrive for Jurgen Klinsmann's men, who made quick work of its first match, a 6-1 win in Portland.
The team relocated south to Salt Lake City for today's contest against Cuba, which had its own troubles in a 3-0 loss to Costa Rica to open the Gold Cup.
It did take the Ticos of Costa Rica 51 minutes to break through on Tuesday, finally bettering the Cuban back line and beating Cuban goalkeeper Odelin Molina, who looked suspect on more than one of the goals.
"We got a little bit disorganized in the second half, which cost us the result," Cuban manager Walter Benitez said.
More of the same will surely cost Cuba goals Saturday when the teams line up at Rio Tinto Stadium just outside of Salt Lake City. (Kickoff is set for 3:30 p.m. ET, Fox Soccer Channel.) That's because fate has intervened to stockpile the U.S. lineup with two or three attackers who might not be around otherwise.
Klinsmann has a "B" team for this tournament, giving some of the top men in the U.S. player pool a few weeks off before they get back into league play in Europe. More accurately, he "mostly" has a "B" team.
Turns out, the national team's all-time leader in goals and assists, Landon Donovan, needed re-introduction into the national team after his well-documented time away from pro soccer. So he was around to strike twice in a 6-0 rout of Guatemala eight days ago, and then to chip in a goal and two assists in an equally dominant 6-1 win over Belize to open the Americans' Gold Cup account
With the two assists, Donovan became the first national team man record 50 career goals and 50 assists. Not bad for a "B" team type, eh?
Then there's Stuart Holden, who would definitely be among the first 16-18 players in the U.S. pool but for those career-threatening injuries that stripped away almost two years from the versatile midfielder. The Gold Cup is also Holden's re-introduction.
(MORE: Player ratings from the win over Guatemala)
(MORE: Player ratings from the 6-0 win over Belize)
Even if the opposition is decidedly of the lightweight variety, Holden's first two extensive runs in the national team shirt have been wonderfully encouraging for all.
"For me now it's not a matter of being back, it's a matter of getting better than that," Holden said after playing 45 minutes against Belize. "I want to be better than I was before. I want to reach new heights that I didn't before my injury. In terms of being back, that word is overplayed. I'm there. It's just a matter of fine tuning and taking it to the next level."
Brek Shea has also appeared threatening along the U.S. left side in the matches of the last eight days. He was a first-choice type when Klinsmann took the U.S. post almost two years ago, but lost his way amid a string of injuries and a move to Stoke City that has yet to pay dividends.
Klinsmann has personnel choices, like whether to bring Oguchi Onyewu back into the central defense. And whether to get Herculez Gomez back into the starting lineup, which could come at the expense of Chris Wondolowski, who had three goals in a hige night in Portland against Belize.
With a tougher match coming up against Costa Rica, Klinsmann also has the option of using the match to rest some of the starters and introduce some younger types, like MLS scoring sensation Jack McInerney, who is in his first camp with the senior national team.
"The decisions for Gooch (Onyewu) and Herc (Gomez) were based on the fact that they've had knee issues in the past and we didn't want to risk anything on the turf field," Klinsmann said in explaining some of Tuesday's lineup choices. "The same thing with Stuart Holden was that if we need you, you'll come off the bench when things open up a little bit. There are always situations when it's not that kind of style in the game and others have the opportunity. Wondo realizes every minute he's on the field that he has an opportunity, and he better take it, and he did very well."

Valoir Report: Third-Party Support Goes Mainstream
Adoption of third-party support for enterprise software is now mainstream. In a report sponsored by Rimini Street, industry research firm Valoir analyzed the growing acceptance of third-party support, finding that demand is widespread — from cost-cutters to innovators to a variety of companies in-between. Valoir found that in some instances, even ERP vendors reluctantly acknowledge the utility of third-party support as they focus efforts on the cloud. Third-party support has evolved into a strategic portfolio management tool for enterprise applications, gaining broader strategic acceptance from its origins as a cost containment tactic. Valoir found that its versatility facilitates: Innovation around the edges of a mature, highly functional ERP system Maximizing value from existing investments Taking a measured approach to cloud evolution Digital transformation Tactically, independent, third-party software support helps CIOs save resources and keep IT teams engaged with new initiatives rather than routine support. Strategically, it helps CIOs meet business objectives, demonstrate value, and move to a Business-Driven Roadmap from one dictated by an ERP vendor. In its report, Valoir specifically recognized Rimini Street for its: Breadth of knowledge and depth of support, featuring a dedicated engineer model Pure focus on independent, third-party support versus other IT or consulting services Track record of strong client relationships Value, service, price

News Release Details
Rimini Street Announces $90 Million Commercial Bank Financing to Fully Redeem Remaining Series A Preferred Stock
Capital One, National Association provides capital at LIBOR + 1.75% - 2.50% to replace Company's more expensive Series A Preferred stock dividends and costs
LAS VEGAS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul. 8, 2021-- Rimini Street, Inc. (Nasdaq: RMNI), a global provider of enterprise software products and services, the leading third-party support provider for Oracle and SAP software products and a Salesforce partner, today announced it has entered into a definitive agreement for a $90 million senior secured credit facility with approximately $88 million of the borrowings to be used for the full redemption of the remaining Series A Preferred stock and the remainder of the borrowings for related transaction costs and other general corporate purposes. Loan funding and redemption of the Series A Preferred stock are currently expected to occur on July 20, 2021, subject to customary funding conditions.
"Capital One is pleased to lead the recently closed $90 million term loan with Rimini Street, an industry leading technology services provider that is a valued solutions partner to Capital One," said Tom King, managing director, Capital One Technology, Media and Telecom Banking. "The new financing bolsters Rimini Street's capital structure and supports the company's strategic plans. The expanded relationship through Capital One's Technology, Media and Telecom corporate banking group builds upon several years of a successful partnership between the two organizations."
Key Financing Terms
Loans made under the five-year term loan will bear interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.75% to 2.50%. The margin for the credit facility is subject to leverage-based step downs. The credit facility contains certain financial covenants, including maintenance of a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio, a total leverage ratio below a threshold and a minimum liquidity of $20 million in U.S. cash. Annual minimum principal amortization payments across the five-year term will be 5%, 5%, 7.5%, 7.5%, 10%, with the remaining balance due at the end of the term. The loans under the credit facility contain affirmative and negative covenants customary for transactions of this type and there is no prepayment premium during the term of the loan.
For more information on the terms of the credit agreement please see the Company's Current Report on SEC Form 8-K, filed July 8, 2021.
Transaction Benefits
When combining the financial impacts of this new $90 million bank loan financing, the March 2021 Common stock offering, the previous Series A Preferred stock buybacks totaling $75 million completed from October 2020 – April 2021 and the planned buyback of the remaining Series A Preferred stock of approximately $88 million, the Company expects the first year interest and accretion of discount to be approximately $3 million compared to the 2020 full year cost of the Series A Preferred stock of $27 million, yielding a savings of approximately $24 million.
Additionally, the buyback of the remaining Series A Preferred stock will reduce the Company's fully diluted shares of Common stock outstanding by approximately 9%, or 8.8 million Common shares.
The combination of cash savings and a reduction in fully diluted shares of Common stock outstanding should yield a meaningful increase in earnings per share.
"This transaction significantly reduces our cost of capital and is accretive to earnings per share," said Seth A. Ravin, CEO and chairman of the board. "This $90 million commercial bank financing achieves our long-stated goals of obtaining competitive market rates for capital, reducing financing costs and dividend obligations and providing operational flexibility that supports accelerating growth and capital return options. We want to thank our Series A Preferred stockholders for their partnership and we are pleased to be working with our new financial partner, Capital One bank."
Transaction Advisors
Capital One, National Association acted as sole lead arranger and bookrunner and Cowen served as exclusive financial advisor. Baker McKenzie LLP acted as legal counsel to Rimini Street, and Paul Hastings LLP acted as legal counsel to Capital One, National Association.
