Sara Smilansky
Developmental psychologist Dr. Sara Smilansky (1922-2006) was a professor at Tel Aviv University in Israel and a senior researcher for The Henrietta Szold Institute – The National Institute for Research in the Behavioral Sciences for the Ruth Bressler Center for Educational Research in Jerusalem. She is best known for her work on play training and its effects on children. She was a visiting professor in several U.S. universities, including the University of Maryland, College Park, and authored several books on children's play, the effect of divorce and death on children, and the development of twins.1
Having studied Jean Piaget's theories on play, Smilansky expanded on Piaget's categories of play and proposed four types of play, which contribute to a child's development and learning: functional play, constructive play, games with rules, and dramatic or pretend play. Functional play involves learning about the physical characteristics of objects by very young children as they learn how things feel, taste, smell, and sound, and what they do. As children gain more experience playing with objects, they begin to construct things and engage in constructive play. When children are mature enough to engage in social play, they are able to enjoy games with rules. Pretend or dramatic play emerges in the toddler years initially as imitation and eventually as make-believe.2
Piaget defined a type of play as symbolic play, where a child would use an object other than what it actually was in a symbolic way during pretend play. It was also called dramatic play, which could be enjoyed alone. When children played together in a make-believe situation, the play took on the most highly developed form of symbolic play called sociodramatic play.3
Smilansky's first book published in 1968, The Effects of Sociodramatic Play on Disadvantaged Preschool Children, was the result of a pilot study while working as a researcher for The Henrietta Szold Institute. The study was an experiment to develop sociodramatic play in preschool children aged three to six years from underprivileged families. It had been observed that children from underprivileged homes did not sustain a line of thought, activity, or feeling, and tended to shift rapidly from thought to thought, activity to activity, and feeling to feeling. The study concluded that from observing the child-rearing practices in the homes of children from different socio-cultural backgrounds, that this behavior was the result of direct environmental influence. Culturally advantaged children were taught at home to collect facts and to weave them together into new concepts, while disadvantaged children did not have this training. It was hypothesized that one way to help preschool children integrate various facts into meaningful whole concepts was through the encouragement of sociodramatic play.4
Three conclusions resulted from the study: lower-class children engage in less and poorer-quality sociodramatic play than middle-class children; children who have deficits in sociodramatic play are the result of parents' child-rearing attitudes and practices regarding their child's sociodramatic play; and training in sociodramatic play can improve the deficits described.5 The following six criteria for well-developed sociodramatic play were proposed in her book that resulted from the study:
Imitative role play - The child undertakes a make-believe role and expresses it in an imitative action and/or verbalization. Example: "I am the teacher, and you are my students."
Make-believe with regard to objects - Actions or verbal descriptions and/or materials or toys that are not replicas of the object itself are substituted for real objects. Example: "I am riding my pony" when the child is sitting on a barrel.
Verbal make-believe with regard to actions and situations - Verbal dialog takes the place of body movements. Example: "Let's pretend I cooked the dinner, and now I am setting the table" when only the last activity is actually imitated.
Persistence in role play - The pretend play episode lasts for at least 10 minutes.
Interaction - At least two players interact within the context of a play episode.
Verbal communication - There is some verbal interaction with others related to the play episode.6
In 1987 Smilansky studied the effects of children's understanding of death after the loss of their parents. She developed the Smilansky Death Concept Questionnaire based on the concepts related to children's understanding of irreversibility, finality, causality, inevitability, and old age. Her questionnaire contained open-ended questions with half of them relating to the death of humans and half to the death of animals. Questioning 948 children ranging in age from 4 to 12 years of age, 476 of them were orphans. Intelligence testing and demographic data were also collected. The results showed insignificant differences between the orphans and the control group for both human losses and deaths of animals. Not finding that orphans had a better understanding of death, she concluded that the experience of a death of a parent in the conceptualization of death only was found in those children who had adults help with the process of understanding it.7

Christopher L. Musmanno, Esq., Chair of the Personal Injury Department and Certified Civil Trial Attorney with the law firm of Einhorn, Harris, Ascher, Barbarito & Frost, PC in Denville, NJ, announces a $240,000.00 settlement for a pedestrian accident resulting in death.
In December 2015, the decedent was attempting to cross a street in Bayonne when he was struck by a vehicle doing an illegal u-turn. As a result of the accident, he sustained an acute left lateral tibial plateau fracture extending laterally to the to the proximal tibia and medially to the medial tibial plateau. Approximately two weeks after the accident, the decedent was transferred to another hospital for surgery. A procedure was performed to utilize a tibia plate secured by multiple locking screws to remediate the tibial plateau fracture. Unfortunately, post-surgically, the decedent suffered from bradycardia and hypertension while being extubated, suffered cardiac arrest and died.
The decedent's brother was appointed as Executor of his Estate and despite the fact that the decedent was jaywalking at the time of the incident and was not within a crosswalk, and the fact that there were no living dependents such that a pecuniary claim could be established, the case was settled for $240,000 within four months of the decedent's death.

IS Christmas bomb plot: Munir Mohammed and Rowaida el Hassan jailed
Mohammed, who volunteered for a "lone wolf" mission in the UK, tried to make the same explosives the Manchester Arena bomber used.
Friday 23 February 2018 04:14, UK
Image: Munir Mohammed (R) and Rowaida el Hassan (L) plotted a Christmas bomb attack directed by IS
A couple who plotted an Islamic State-inspired bomb or poison attack over the Christmas holidays after meeting on a dating website have been jailed.
Sudanese asylum seeker Munir Mohammed was sentenced to life with a minimum of 14 years and his partner, pharmacist Rowaida el Hassan, was jailed for 12 years, plus five years on extended licence.
A court at the Old Bailey heard Mohammed, 36, from Derby, met Hassan, 33, of Willesden, north London on dating website SingleMuslim.com.
Mohammed, who volunteered for a "lone wolf" mission in the UK in a Facebook chat with an IS commander, enlisted "strong-willed" mother-of-two Hassan, who became his "wiling" partner.
The pair were found guilty of preparing terrorist acts between November 2015 and December 2016.
Mohammed, who arrived in Britain in the back of a lorry and claimed asylum in February 2014, had ricin and bomb-making manuals when he was arrested in December 2016.

Officers also found hydrogen peroxide in a wardrobe and hydrochloric acid in a freezer - two of the three ingredients needed to make TATP explosives.

Afghanistan: At least 46 killed in bomb attack at Kunduz mosque
Just days before he had failed to acquire acetone, the final component, after buying acetone-free nail varnish by mistake at an Asda store.
TATP, or acetone peroxide, was used by Manchester Arena suicide bomber Salman Abedi last May in an attack that killed 22 children and adults.
Judge Michael Topolski QC highlighted Mohammed's "vast store" of IS propaganda, including nearly 26,000 images on his phone, some depicting "abhorrent" acts of murder.
Some of the videos were sent to Hassan, the judge said.

Judge Topolski told Mohammed: "You decided that yours would be a lone wolf attack. You decided the means of your attack would involve you making an IED.
"You had not decided whether that would be made with an ordinary bomb or whether you could do more damage and instil more terror by exploding a device containing ricin."
DCI Paul Greenwood, from Counter Terrorism Policing North East, said: "Our investigation never revealed the full detail of their plans or their target.
"Only they know what their true intentions really were. Nevertheless, they were clearly conspiring to commit an attack in the UK."
Pauline Latham, Mid Derbyshire MP, criticised the leniency of Mohammed's sentence. She said: "He should have been looking at a minimum of 30 years, not a minimum of 14. This was somebody who was close to causing absolute carnage."

Seamlessness in the Analogue and Digital
Sigune Hamann will discuss work on representation of movement, time and narrative structure through image manipulation with a focus on her process of capturing and reading the dynamics of urban environments in panoramic film-strips.
Sigune Hamann
As consumers and producers of contemporary visual culture, we are in an era of high-resolution photographic realism. Continuous hardware and software development simulate close up sharpness in images and hyper-real movement through zoom and panning-actions and enhanced playback technology. In counterpoint to this, I develop analogue film-strip imagery using a still camera in the manner of a movie camera that offers a different representation and a deconstruction of the way we see rather than the objects to be seen.
Reflecting on ideas of data disinformation, this paper will look at the representation of movement, time and narrative structure in film-strips, and examine shifts of information and overlapping, repetition and blurring of images as part of the analogue and digital process of production. It will reflect on ideas of seamlessness and continuity at a time dominated by fragmentation and layering.
Film-strips
In photographic film-strips I capture the energy of urban environments and the movement of people. This process of 'tracing' in film-strips involves using an analogue photographic camera like a movie camera. A whole roll of 35mm film is exposed in a continuous rewinding movement while I am also moving in relation to the subject. The celluloid moves past the lens in a cinematic movement, although unlike film exposed in a cine camera, time is not separated frame by frame but flows in a continuous exposure over minutes to produce one long panoramic image. Although the images are static, they contain the indexical traces of movement – of the film, the camera and myself moving within the optical field.
The hand held camera as an extension of my body and the performative process allow for elements of chance within the work. I intuitively respond to each situation, varying the speed of my own movement and of rewinding the film. Moving elements such as people register more clearly than static backgrounds, which dissolve into ambiguity. The movement of the camera parallel to the movement of the objects let them appear in repetition.
The speed of the rewind is un-even. Moments of slowing reveal the analogue photographic process; vertical lines due to momentary framing become visible. Accelerating the turning results in extensive movement blur. However the level of layering, abstraction and focus cannot be planned, only performed.
Digital technology allows the film to be scanned and seamlessly printed in large segments. Viewers can re-enact the time sequences chronologically in video animations or by moving along the images of large-scale photographs, from segments to 360-degree installations relating to the situation in which they were taken. Like fleeting mental images they are at the same time linked and freed from the event, the environment and action that they record.
The film-strip showing at this year's ISEA exhibition Uncontainable: Broken Stillness is a segment of a photograph taken in Whitehall in London last year, during a protest march against the increased student tuition fees. As a demonstrator at the march I captured the dynamics of students and fellow staff moving through Whitehall, chanting and waving banners and flags in a unified expression of protest. For the duration of the exposure the film is rewound past the lens in the hand-held camera, following the movement of the crowd. This process abstracts and compresses the action revealing both chaos and order, yet details are enough to fix the image as an indexical record of the actual event.
The imagery captures the moment described by Götz Großklaus referring to Elias Canetti, when multi directional movement becomes homogenous and when a common goal directs crowds in a common movement, physical and psychological — the moment when we are no longer in a crowd of strangers but in a crowd of 'equals': The movement of the crowd appears in short time stops and starts, in stagnation and continuation. [1] These rhythms and the compression and expansion in transit find their correspondence in the mechanical process of rewinding the film, hesitating and accelerating, and by the fluid density of the resulting imagery.
Seeing and reading images
Film-strips are a result of a direct, perhaps pre-cognitive form of seeing and an experience of the duration of time, produced through mechanical and chemical processing. The images are referential and real with a clear pictorial definition within them while showing a general degree of motion blur.
An absence of language is suggested, while objects are present that refer to something apparently quite concrete. As conventional ways of seeing and reading images become less applicable, the representation of visual information in the film-strips becomes closer to the physiological process of seeing than the information itself.
We have learned to see and to understand visual data, to make sense of images in a subconscious process. It is part of an evolutionary development, processing visual input to concentrate on what's vital to us and builds images in our minds. The brain constructs images and seeks order to establish correlations, consistency and continuity. Images change with rapid technical developments, and our perception tries to adjust correspondingly. I think however that the discrepancy between reading an image as a form as it used to be and now experiencing it as an event, fragmented, layered and changing over time needs to be addressed, and that the change of conventions of processing this information is not quite as fluid as it might seem.
The construction of movement and seamless images in the brain depends on our sense of space. According to Wolf Singer the clarity of inner spatial images stems from an evolutional development, defining the long-term memory mainly as a memory of places and their relationships. [2]
Time and continuity
The length of time represented in the film-strips is determined by its physical length. In terms of mathematical, continuously moving time a couple of minutes of an event are captured. Film-strips don't have beginnings and ends in terms of narrative; they are segments of an ongoing experienced time, the long format suggesting continuity before and after. These segments become like fragmented memories that represent situations or narratives within them.
Film-strips represent a unique sequence of time, but there is a sense of eternity also through repetition of movement, one film-strip written in panning movement over another, images and activities being replaced by others continuing an ongoing narrative. "In life we are accidental witnesses of certain events and images, whose duration in time we cannot control. That's why all art begins with the wish to fix a moment, and to make it last for a long or even infinite time. Only then will the viewers have endless time, that they need to determine duration and rhythm of their observation autonomously." [3] Time is embedded in the film-strips in a curious way relating equally to sequential moving images, sequential still images and single photographs. Although time is stopped, a moment is extended. As Andy Warhol described it in connection with his 8-hour projection Empire one can "see time go by."
The film-strips are loops, particularly in panning animations or 360 degree installations. Loops create new meaning through fragmentation and seamless repetition of original data. As with patterns or a motif in music, the brain registers repeated elements. Loops are generators of form; they offer the possibility of infinite extension, continuity and the evasion of an ending.
"The art of today seems to have discovered a new endlessness. However we are not dealing with a renewal of a romantic aesthetic of the sublime, but the endlessness of the continuation of the always similar in small variations, the endlessness of a project of Continued-Life, that cannot be completed, but only left behind."

Asp.Net, C#.Net, Angularjs, Entity Framework, JQuery, MVC, Interview Question: Difference between Delegate, Func, Action and Predicate.
Difference between Delegate, Func, Action and Predicate.
Lets first see what is delegate.
If you will say delegate always one thing is come into our mind, a function pointer calling as an argument.
But it's no sense with this Definition its showing the concept of use of delegate it won't say why we need it and when we need this delegate.
For this we need to check with the English meaning of delegate, a representative. e.g Indian delegate go to US to deal something.
So this representative will give the time to time details of the operation and this delegate is the wrapper for our India which we hide but to present to the US also.
So the below things come us into find if delegate.
What is difference between Delegate, Func, Action and Predicate.
Func : it is delegate for a function which will may or may not take the argument and return a value.
Action : it is delegate for a function which may or may not take parametrs and doesnot returen value.
Predicate : It is specialized version of Func that take an argument eveluate a value againt some criteria and always return as bool value.


Today I worked on trying to figure out what could have made my error rates from last week so awful. I re-did the Skyline DIA protocol many times and ended up realizing that some of my samples only had a few files listed in the protein, while others had all four. Asked Yaamini for clarification. I was told by Emma to make sure that I have four tabs in Skyline. Each tab represents a sample, and each sample has 4 files associated with it.
Here's the post where Emma shared new info with me: here.
Will revisit this issue when I'm back at SAFS on Tuesday. Tomorrow and Thursday I'm volunteering at Highline StormFest in Des Moines, WA, where I and other volunteers will teach 6th graders about stormwater and pollution!
topGO and GOstats look promising. This blog has some code for how to use these packages, but it's a little unclear. Overall consensus on this forum is that DAVID is heavily-used, but should not be used anymore since it hasn't been updated in several years. Would also be nice to have something in a script instead of a website.
The mRNA track includes exon and introns. The exon track just has exons. See the issue.
Enrichment analysis of mRNA genomic regions. Need to find specific package?
mRNA: The things that make proteins!
I also found and counted overlaps between CG motifs and exons, introns, and mRNAs! The reason I did this was because if most of the CG motifs are in the exon regions, then we'd expect to find most of the methylation in the exons. All of my .txt files that weren't too big for Github can be found in this folder.
One thing I noticed is that I found more overlaps than Steven did for all categories. My guess is that the default score_min option I used lead to more overlaps. It will be interesting to look into the differences. Another important thing to mention is that there are more exon overlaps than mRNA overlaps. This does not make sense to me, since exons are what code for mRNA. I'll post an issue with this question.
I think my next step has to do with gene ontology, but I'm not entirely sure what that entails. Guess I'll post another issue.

Sean John Combs? Fashion Business Articles | January 7 T.J. Warren Suns Jersey , 2009
Sean John Combs has been in the fashion industry since the time that hip-hop fashion gave rise to new and profound clothing lines. And Sean John is there at the turning point of hip-hop fashion.
Hip-hop fashion is a distinctive style of dress originating with African-American youth in The 5 Boroughs (New York City), and later influenced by the hip-hop scenes of Los Angeles, Chicago, Philadelphia, East Bay (San Francisco Bay Area), Detroit, and The Dirty South among others. But hip-hop fashion wouldn?t be the fashion known today without the helping hand of a man called ?The Shiny Suit Man?.
The rise of hip-pop in the late-1990s, primarily the work of Sean "Diddy" Combs Kelly Oubre Jr. Suns Jersey , known locally around New York at that time as the "Shiny Suit Man" brought elements such as loud, flashy PVC aviator inspired suits and platinum jewelry to the forefront of hip hop in an effort to add a new vivid dimension of color and flash to the videos produced as a marketing tool.
Combs, who started his own sean john clothing line, and clothing manufacturers such as Karl Kani and FUBU brought hip hop fashion to the mainstream, resulting in a multi-million dollar hip hop fashion industry. But who is Sean John Combs? And what was his contribution to the ever growing hip-hop fashion?
Sean John Combs
Sean John Combs, also known by his stage names such as Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, and now known as Diddy Devin Booker Suns Jersey , is an American rapper, record producer, actor, dancer, entrepreneur, and men?s fashion designer. His popularity in the industry brought him three Grammy Awards and two MTV Video Music Awards.
Combs was also the founder of the every growing recording company, Bad Boy Records that produced famous hip-hop artists and personalities including The Notorious B.I.G, Craig Mack Dragan Bender Womens Jersey , Dream, Carl Thomas, Faith Evans, Father MC, 112 and Total. As well as producing for Jodeci, Mary J. Blige, Usher, Lil' Kim Ray Spalding Womens Jersey , TLC, Mariah Carey, Boyz II Men, SWV, Aretha Franklin, and others, and forming The Hitmen, an in-house production team.
In 1997 Mikal Bridges Womens Jersey , Combs recorded his first commercial vocal as a rapper under the name "Puff Daddy." His debut single, "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down" spent six weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. His debut album, No Way Out was a #1 album and won the 1998 Grammy Award for best rap album.
In 2002, he was featured on Fortune magazine's "40 Richest People Under 40" list and was placed number one in the list of the top ten richest people in hip-hop.
Business Ventures and Sean John
His business interests under the umbrella of Bad Boy Entertainment Worldwide include Bad Boy Records, the clothing lines sean john and Sean by Sean Combs, a movie production company, and two restaurants.
In 1998, Combs started a clothing line Richaun Holmes Womens Jersey , sean john. It was nominated for the Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA) Award for Menswear Designer of the Year in 2000, and another in 2004. Sean John is a clothing founded by hip-hop mogul Sean John Combs in which the name was taken from Combs' first and middle given names.
Part of what made sean john clothing popular in the streets of the urban community is the people that represents the brand. These people includes rappers such as T.I., Fabolous, The Game, Daddy Yankee, basketball stars including Dwayne Wade and Tristan Sooklal, plus models Tyson Beckford and Kevin Navayne, and Combs himself.
"I always had the idea that I would start my own apparel line Josh Jackson Womens Jersey , but I wanted to make sure the timing was right and that I had the time to devote to it," said Combs in an interview. Since its launch, Sean John has recieved critical and commercial success. Through the support of both the fashion community and retailers, sean john has quickly grown from an urban label to an international brand.
Sean John has often appeared at the award ceremony for the Council of Fashion Designers of America held annually in New York. For five consecutive years since 2000, Sean John has been nominated for its excellence in design. In 2004, Sean John was awarded the CFDA Men's Designer of the Year award.
In November 2008, Combs launched his latest men's perfume under the Sean John brand called "I Am King." On November 24th, 2008 Tyler Johnson Womens Jersey , he unveiled a new Times Square billboard for the "I Am King," line to replace his iconic Sean John ad. The giant billboard is currently the largest print ad in Times Square.
In addition to his clothing line, Combs owns an upscale restaurant chain called Justin's, named after his son. The current restaurant is in Atlanta; the original New York location was closed in September 2007. Combs is also the designer of the green Dallas Mavericks alternate jersey.
Controversies Within the Sean John
The clothing line became controversial in 2003 when it was discovered that factories producing the clothing in Honduras were violating Honduran labor law. Among the accusations put forth were that workers were subjected to body searches and paid sweatshop wages. Charles Kernaghan of the National Labor Committee, who first exposed the factory, is quoted in the New York Times as saying, "Sean Puff Daddy obviously has a lot of clout, he can literally do a lot overnight to help these workers."
In late 2006 Jamal Crawford Womens Jersey , MSNBC reported, "Macy's has pulled from its shelves and its Web site two styles of Sean John hooded jackets, originally advertised as If you are looking for a holiday that offers you a un.

и действует с 01.01.1984 года по 31.12.2018 год,
введён в действие для применения на территории Российской Федерации приказом Минфина России от 25.11.2011 № 160н, заменен на IFRS 16.

Определения
МСФО (IAS) 17 не применяется в отношении:
 соглашений об аренде, связанных с добычей и использованием минералов, нефти и иных невозобнавляемых ресурсов
 лицензионных соглашений в отношении таких объектов, как кинофильмы, рукописи, патенты и авторские права
 арендаторами инвестиционной недвижимости по договорам финансовой аренды
 арендодателями инвестиционной недвижимости по договорам операционной аренды
 биологических активов.

Аренда — соглашение, по которому арендодатель в обмен на плату или серию платежей передаёт арендатору право пользования активом в течение установленного периода времени.

Минимальные арендные платежи — платежи, которые арендатор обязан или может быть обязан совершить в течение срока аренды, а также:
 для арендатора — суммы, гарантированные арендатором
 для арендодателя -ликвидационная стоимость, гарантированная арендодателю:
 арендатором
 третьим лицом, не связанным с арендодателем и имеющим финансовую возможность выполнить обязательства по гарантии.

Финансовая аренда — аренда, по условиям которой происходит передача основных рисков и выгод, связанных с владением активом. При этом право собственности может передаваться, а может не передаваться.

Операционная аренда — любая аренда, которая не является финансовой.

Учёт финансовой аренды
Признаки финансовой аренды:
 к концу срока аренды право собственности на объект аренды переходит к арендатору
 арендатор получает право купить объект аренды по цене ниже справедливой стоимости на дату реализации этого права, и в начале срока аренды использование им этого права достаточно вероятно
 срок аренды составляет значительную часть срока экономической службы актива
 на момент заключения договора аренды дисконтированная стоимость минимальных арендных платежей составляет существенную долю всей справедливой стоимости объекта аренды
 арендованные активы носят специализированный характер, который только арендатор может пользоваться ими без существенных модификаций
 при расторжении арендатором договора аренды на него ложатся все связанные с этим убытки
 прибыли и убытки от колебания справедливой стоимости ликвидационной суммы причитаются арендатору
 арендатор имеет возможность продолжить аренду на последующий период, причём арендная плата будет значительно ниже рыночной.

Учёт финансовой аренды у арендатора
В начале срока аренды активов и соответствующее обязательство по финансовой аренде отражаются в отчёте о финансовом положении арендатора в одинаковом размере, равном сумме, наименьшей из двух величин:
 справедливой стоимости арендуемого имущества — сумма, на которую можно обменять актив или урегулировать обязательство при совершении сделки между хорошо осведомлёнными, желающими совершить такую сделку и независимыми друг от друга сторонами
 дисконтированной стоимости минимальных арендных платежей — сумма, дисконтированная на ставку, подразумеваемая в договоре аренды.

Ставка процента, подразумевая в договоре аренды — ставка дисконтирования, в результате применения которой на момент начала арендных отношений совокупная дисконтированная стоимость минимальных арендных платежей и негарантированной ликвидационной стоимости равняется сумме справедливой стоимости арендованного актива и всех первоначальных прямых затрат арендодателя.

Негарантированная ликвидационная стоимость — часть ликвидационной стоимости арендуемого актива, получение которой арендодателем не гарантировано или гарантировано только стороной, связанной с арендодателем.

Первоначальные прямые затраты — дополнительные издержки, связанные с подготовкой и заключением договора аренды, за исключением случаев, когда такие затраты несут арендаторы в лице производителей или дилеров.

Актив амортизируется (если нет перехода право собственности) по наименьшему из сроков:
 срока аренды
 срока полезного использования — расчётный оставшийся период с начала срока аренды, не ограничиваемый сроком аренды, на протяжении которого компания предполагает получать экономические выгоды, заключённые в активе.

Арендные платежи разделяются на:
 затраты на финансирование (процентная ставка по непогашенному обязательству постоянна в течение срока аренды), отражается в отчёт о совокупном доходе
 погашение обязательства, отражается в отчёте о финансовом положении.

Учёт финансовой аренды у арендодателя
У арендодателя отражаются в отчете о финансовом положении активы, сданные в финансовую аренду, как дебиторская задолженность в размере, равном чистым инвестициям в аренду.

Валовые инвестиции арендодателя в аренду — совокупность:
 минимальных арендных платежей, которые будут получены арендодателем по договору финансовой аренде и
 негарантированная ликвидационная стоимость, на которую арендодатель имеет право.

Чистые инвестиции в аренду — сумма валовых инвестиций, дисконтированная с использованием ставки процента, подразумеваемой в договоре аренды. Чистые инвестиции в аренду в каждый момент времени равны сумме валовых инвестиций за вычетом валовой прибыли, отнесённой на будущие отчётные периоды.

Неполученный финансовый доход — разница между валовыми инвестициями в аренду и чистой инвестицией в аренду, и равняется валовому доходу от финансирования, который распределён на срок аренды.

Арендные платежи, полученные от арендатора, — это погашение основной суммы долга и финансовый доход.

Учёт операционной аренды
Актив при операционной аренде учитывается в отчёте о финансовом положении арендодателя, так как не происходит переход рисков и выгод от владения актива от арендодателя к арендатору.

Амортизация не отличается от аналогичных активов, которые не являются предметом договора аренды.

Арендные платежи по договору операционной аренды за исключением стоимости страхования и технического обслуживания отражаются в отчёте о совокупном доходе.

В том случае, когда арендодатель производит выплату арендатору в качестве стимулирования, то выплаченная сумма уменьшает общую сумму расходов по операционной аренде в течение срока договора аренды.

Срок полезного использования земли неограничен, право собственности по окончании срока аренды не переходит арендатору, арендатор не получает основные риски и выгоды, связанные с владением, то аренда классифицируется операционной.

Премия, выплачиваемая за арендное право на землю, является предоплатой арендных платежей, которые списываются в течение срока аренды, и не является основным средством, и в отчёте о финансовом положении отражается в краткосрочных или долгосрочных активах.

Если происходит передача права собственности и на землю, и на здания, оба элемента классифицируются как финансовая аренда.
Если передача право собственности на землю не происходит, а срок её использования неограничен, аренда земли классифицируется как операционная, а аренда здания может быть финансовой или операционной.
Если одна или обе части договора аренды являются финансовой арендой, то минимальные арендные платежи распределяются между землёй и зданиями пропорционально их справедливой стоимости на дату начала арендных отношений, причём в минимальные арендные платежи входят любые авансовые платежи.
Если распределить платежи между землёй и зданиями невозможно, то договор аренды в целом классифицируется как финансовая аренда.

Сделки с обратной арендой
В ходе таких сделок первоначальный владелец актива продаёт его стороне, предоставляющей финансирование, и сразу же берёт его обратно в аренду.
Сделка продажи с обратной арендой является операционной, когда арендатор передаёт все риски и преимущества владения активом и признает прибыль/убыток от продажи, который отражается в отчётности, если сделка совершена по справедливой стоимости:
 Если цена продажи выше справедливой стоимости, то превышение над справедливой стоимостью признаётся доходом в течение ожидаемого периода использования актива для того, чтобы уменьшить арендные платежи до справедливой стоимости
 Если цена продажи ниже справедливой стоимости, сделка невыгодная, то прибыль/убыток сразу отражается в отчётности
 Если цена продажи искусственно занижена для того, чтобы компенсировать её будущими арендными платежами по цене ниже рыночной, то такой убыток амортизируется пропорционально арендным платежам в течение ожидаемого периода использования актива.

При сделки продажи с обратной финансовой аренды используется два подхода:
 Арендованный актив отражается по предыдущей балансовой стоимости, а затем учитывается в том же порядке, что и раньше, полученные денежные средства учитываются как обязательства.
 Актив, полученный по договору обратной финансовой аренде, переоценивается до справедливой стоимости (или до дисконтированной стоимости минимальных арендных платежей, если она ниже), признаётся обязательство по финансовой аренде на ту же сумму.

Historical Dictionary of the Reformed Churches
Robert Benedetto and Donald K. McKim
As its name implies, the Reformed tradition grew out of the 16th century Protestant Reformation. The Reformed churches consider themselves to be the Catholic Church reformed. The movement originated in the reform efforts of Huldrych Zwingli (1484-1531) of Zurich and John Calvin (1509-1564) of Geneva. Although the Reformed movement was dependent upon many Protestant leaders, it was Calvin's tireless work as a writer, preacher, teacher, and social and ecclesiastical reformer that provided a substantial body of literature and an ethos from which the Reformed tradition grew. Today, the Reformed churches are a multicultural, multiethnic, and multinational phenomenon.
The second edition of the Historical Dictionary of the Reformed Churches contains information on the major personalities, events, facts, movements, and beliefs of the Reformed churches. This is done through a list of acronyms and abbreviations, a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, a bibliography, and over 800 cross-referenced dictionary entries on leaders, personalities, events, facts, movements, and beliefs of the Reformed churches.

Ка́рлос Умбе́рто Кассе́ли Гарри́до (; 5 июля 1950, Сантьяго) — чилийский футболист, инсайд.

По мнению официального сайта клуба «Коло-Коло», является идолом болельщиков и одним из величайших футболистов в истории своей страны. Участник двух чемпионатов мира: 1974 и 1982. Кассели является первым футболистом, получившим красную карточку в матче чемпионата мира. 5-кратный чемпион Чили в составе «Коло-Коло». Лучший футболист Кубка Америки 1979 года.

Карьера

Клубная
Карлос Кассели дебютировал в составе «Коло-Коло» в 1967 году в матче против уругвайского «Пеньяроля». 30 июля того же года он дебютировал в чемпионате Чили в матче против «Сантьяго Морнинг». Цвета «Коло-Коло» Кассели защищал в общей сложности на протяжении 15 сезонов. В составе «Коло-Коло» Кассели провёл 324 официальных матча, из них 288 в чемпионате, стал 5-кратным чемпионом Чили, 3-кратным обладателем Кубка Чили, а также финалистом Кубка Либертадорес 1973 года. Помимо этого Кассели является 3-кратным лучшим бомбардиром чемпионата Чили, и лучшим бомбардиром Кубка Либертадорес 1973. После военного переворота в Чили Кассели, не скрывающий своих левых политических взглядов, принял предложение президента испанского клуба второго дивизиона «Леванте» Мануэля Грау Торральбы и перебрался в Испанию. В своём дебютном сезоне 1973/74 Кассели забил 15 мячей, что однако не спасло «Леванте», который занял 19-е место и вылетел в третий дивизион. Сезон 1974/75 Леванте закончил на втором месте, что не давало права подняться обратно во второй дивизион, однако Кассели заметили в «Эспаньоле». В каталонском клубе Кассели провёл 3 сезона, проведя в общей сложности в высшем дивизионе 46 матчей и забив 20 голов. Закончил карьеру Кассели в 1986 году в эквадорском клубе «Барселона» из города Гуаякиль.

В сборной
В сборной Чили Кассели дебютировал 28 мая 1969 года в товарищеском матче со сборной Аргентины, завершившимся со счётом 1:1, после чего на протяжении 16 лет являлся её ключевым игроком. В составе сборной Кассели принял участие в двух чемпионатах мира 1974 и 1982 годов и стал финалистом Кубка Америки 1979 года, на том же турнире его признали лучшим игроком. Кассели является первым футболистом, получившим красную карточку в матче чемпионата мира, это удаление произошло на чемпионате 1974 года в матче против сборной ФРГ. Свой последний матч за сборную Кассели сыграл против сборной Бразилии 21 мая 1985 года, тот матч чилийцы выиграли со счётом 2:1, а сам Кассели отметился забитым голом. Всего же за сборную Кассели сыграл 47 официальных матчей, в которых забил 27 голов.

Итого: 47 матчей / 27 голов; 20 побед, 12 ничьих, 15 поражений.

Foster Mom Shares Wisdom On "Raising Cultures" After Adopting 3 Multiracial Children.
What makes a family a family is subjective, but one thing is more powerful than any definition, and that's love.
After Rick Baldwin and his wife Keia Jones-Baldwin of Kernersville, North Carolina got married, they did everything they could to have a baby together. But after multiple miscarriages and failed fertility treatments, they came to the difficult realization that a biological baby wasn't in the cards for their family.
The couple went through a mourning period with Keia's daughter Zariyah, who was just as eager to become a big sister. They weren't sure what to do next — until Keia heard an advertisement on the radio. The ad offered free information about becoming a foster parent, and for Keia at least, it brought an epiphany. With a little encouragement from her own mother, she and Rick decided to test the fostering waters.
In 2015 the Jones-Baldwin family started opening their doors to children who may never have experienced real parental love. They've since welcomed six kids and even went on to adopt some of them.
Their first adoptee was Ayden, a biracial 3-year-old who lived with them for two years before they officially made him a Jones-Baldwin. 16-year-old Karleigh, who is also biracial, came next.
The proud parents didn't stop there! Princeton, a white newborn, was only supposed to be with them for a couple months but also ended up staying for two years before he joined the excited family.
To announce Princeton's adoption, Keia released a video with the theme "No Bump Still Pumped." Everyone wore related T-shirts and prepared to celebrate.
The video starts with a fun dance among the older family members and transitions into a "Baby Shark" dance party when Princeton enters the room.
The first half of the video is funny, and then Keia takes time to touch on a subject that is near and dear to her heart: raising a multi-cultural family. To Keia's surprise, the video and pictures of Princeton's sweet adoption day went viral, inspiring her to take on a project she's dreamed of since she became a foster mom.
She had a series of recurring dreams in which she repeatedly heard the words "raising cultures," and explained it was "as if God was talking to me." So with her mother's encouragement, Keia started a platform called Raising Cultures, where she shares her experiences as a mom through videos, photos, and other resources.
Being an African American mother to multiracial children isn't always easy. Keia says she's been interrogated by strangers who think she might have kidnapped Princeton, and she's often asked if she's his babysitter or Uber driver. She's even had the cops called on her, which is ironic since Rick is a police officer himself.
Keia's father once told her, "What starts at home goes abroad," an expression that has stuck with her throughout her family's journey. She and Rick are determined to give their children all the love and support they need. On a larger scale, Keia's work with Raising Cultures serves as a reminder to world that when it comes to family, "love is color-blind."
Watch the adorable adoption video below, and share this story to spread Keia's message even further.

MO 406.30 JUSTIFICATION: USE OF DEADLY FORCE IN SELF-DEFENSE — BATTERED SPOUSE
Missouri Approved Instructions–Criminal (MAI-CR) 4th
406.30 JUSTIFICATION: USE OF DEADLY FORCE IN SELF-DEFENSE — BATTERED SPOUSE
PART A – GENERAL STATEMENT OF THE LAW
One of the issues (as to Count _____) (in this case) is whether the use of force by the defendant against [name of victim] was lawful. In this state, the use of force, including the use of deadly force, to protect oneself is lawful in certain situations.
[Use the material in [1] unless there is no evidence the defendant was the "initial aggressor." Omit brackets and number.]
[1] A person can lawfully use force to protect herself against an unlawful attack. However, an initial aggressor, that is, one who first (attacks) (or) (threatens to attack) another, is not justified in using force to protect herself from the counter-attack that she provoked.
(A person who is the initial aggressor in an encounter can regain the privilege of using force in lawful self-defense if she withdraws from the original encounter and clearly indicates to the other person her desire to end the encounter. Then, if the other person persists in continuing the incident by threatening to use or by using force, the first person is no longer the initial aggressor, and she can then lawfully use force to protect herself.)
[Use the material in [2] in ALL cases. The selection made in [2] of part A of the instruction must be consistent with the selection made in [2] of part B. Omit brackets and number.]
[2] In order for a person lawfully to use force in self-defense, she must reasonably believe such force is necessary to defend herself from what she reasonably believes to be the ((imminent) use of unlawful force by another person) ((imminent) commission of a forcible felony).
But (, under this instruction,) a person is not permitted to use deadly force unless she reasonably believes that the use of deadly force is necessary to protect herself against (death or serious physical injury) (the commission of a forcible felony).
As used in this instruction, "deadly force" means physical force which is used with the purpose of causing or which a person knows to create a substantial risk of causing death or serious physical injury.
[Use the material in [3] in ALL cases. Omit brackets and number.]
[3] As used in this instruction, the term "reasonably believe" means a belief based on reasonable grounds, that is, grounds that could lead a reasonable person in the same situation to the same belief. Evidence has been introduced that the defendant, as a result of [name of victim]'s prior conduct, was suffering from "battered spouse syndrome." If you believe that defendant was suffering from such syndrome, you must consider how the situation would appear to a person suffering from such syndrome. Thus, in determining whether the defendant's beliefs as to her situation were reasonable, that determination should be based on what an otherwise reasonable person who is suffering from battered spouse syndrome would believe. It does not depend upon whether the belief turned out to be true or false.
[Use the material in [4] only if the term "forcible felony" is used. Omit brackets and number.]
[4] A forcible felony includes [Insert name(s) of any forcible felony used in this instruction.].
PART B – CASE-SPECIFIC STATEMENT OF THE LAW
On the issue of self-defense (as to Count _____) (in this case), you are instructed as follows: [Select the appropriate paragraphs. Omit brackets and number.]
[The material in [1] should be used unless there is no evidence the defendant was the initial aggressor. Use the appropriate portions of the paragraph. If there is no evidence that the defendant was the initial aggressor, skip the material in [1] and go to the material in [2].]
[1] First, if the defendant was not the initial aggressor in the encounter with [name of victim], (or if she was the initial aggressor and clearly indicated to [name of victim] her withdrawal from the encounter, [See Notes on Use 3(a).]), and
[2] (First) (Second), if the defendant reasonably believed that the use of force was necessary to defend herself from what she reasonably believed to be the ((imminent) use of unlawful force) ((imminent) commission of [Insert name(s) of forcible felony.]) by [name of victim], and
(Second) (Third), the defendant reasonably believed that the use of deadly force was necessary to protect herself from (death or serious physical injury from the acts of) (the commission of [Insert name(s) of forcible felony.] by) [name of victim], then her use of deadly force is justifiable and she acted in lawful self-defense.
[The material in [3] must be used in ALL cases. Omit brackets and number.]
[3] If you believe that the defendant was suffering from battered spouse syndrome, then in determining whether defendant was reasonable in believing the use of deadly force was necessary to protect herself from (death or serious physical injury) (the commission of [Insert name of forcible felony.]), your determination must be based on what an otherwise reasonable person who is suffering from battered spouse syndrome would believe under the situation as it appeared to the defendant.
The state has the burden of proving beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant did not act in lawful self-defense. Unless you find beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant did not act in lawful self-defense, you must find the defendant not guilty (under Count _______).
[If the name of a forcible felony is used in this instruction, the material in [4] will be used. Omit brackets and number. In defining the felony, use MAI-CR 4th 433.00 if applicable, the statute defining the offense, or the applicable verdict directing instruction. See Notes on Use 6.]
[4] As used in this instruction, the term [Insert name of forcible felony within quotation marks.] means [Insert definition of the forcible felony. See Notes on Use 6.]
[If the term "serious physical injury" is used in this instruction, then the following paragraph defining that term must be used. Omit brackets and number.]
[5] As used in this instruction, the term "serious physical injury" means physical injury that creates a substantial risk of death or that causes serious disfigurement or protracted loss or impairment of the function of any part of the body.
PART C – EVIDENTIARY MATTERS
[Insert any of the following numbered paragraphs that are supported by the evidence and requested in writing in proper form by either party. Omit brackets and number.]
[1] [Use either or both paragraphs as supported by the evidence.]
Evidence has been introduced (of the reputation of the defendant for being [Insert trait or traits, such as "peaceful and law-abiding" or "violent and turbulent."]) (and) (of the reputation of [name of victim] for being [Insert trait or traits.]). You may consider this evidence in determining who was the initial aggressor in the encounter (and for no other purpose).
Evidence has been introduced that defendant was suffering from battered spouse syndrome. If you believe that defendant was suffering from battered spouse syndrome, then you must consider that in determining who was the initial aggressor in the encounter.
[2] Evidence has been introduced that [name of victim] had a reputation for being (violent) (violent and turbulent) ([other trait or traits indicating aggressiveness]), and that the defendant was aware of that reputation. You may consider this evidence in determining whether the defendant reasonably believed that the use of force was necessary to defend herself from the ((imminent) use of unlawful force) (or) (the commission of [Insert name of forcible felony.]) by [name of victim].
[3] Evidence has been introduced of the prior relationship between defendant and [name of victim] (including evidence of (arguments) (and) (acts of violence)). You may consider this evidence in determining who was the initial aggressor in the encounter and you may also consider it in determining whether the defendant reasonably believed that the use of force was necessary to defend herself from the ((imminent) use of unlawful force) (or) (the commission of [Insert name of forcible felony.]) by [name of victim], and you may also consider it in determining whether the defendant was suffering from battered spouse syndrome.
[4] Evidence has been introduced of acts of violence not involving the defendant committed by [name of victim] and that the defendant was aware of these acts. You may consider this evidence in determining whether the defendant reasonably believed that the use of force was necessary to defend herself from the ((use) (imminent use) of (unlawful force)) (or) (the commission of [Insert name of forcible felony.]). You may not consider this evidence in determining who was the initial aggressor in the encounter or for any other reason.
[5] Evidence has been introduced (of threats made by [name of victim] against defendant) (and) (evidence of threats made by defendant against [name of victim]). You may consider this evidence in determining who was the initial aggressor in the encounter.
[6] If any threats against defendant were made by [name of victim] and were known by or had been communicated to the defendant, you may consider this evidence in determining whether the defendant reasonably believed that the use of force was necessary to defend herself from the ((use) (imminent use) of (unlawful force)) (or) (commission of [Insert name of forcible felony.]), and you may consider it in determining whether the defendant was suffering from battered spouse syndrome.
[If any of the numbered paragraphs above are used, the following sentence will be used at the end of part C.]
You, however, should consider all of the evidence in the case in determining whether the defendant acted in lawful self-defense.

ASUS announces two new ZenBooks – UX430 and UX530 – compact yet powerful
LaptopMedia.comNewsASUS announces two new ZenBooks - UX430 and UX530 - compact yet powerful
From: Miroslav Bozhkov 20 January 2017 / 00:04	 | 0
ASUS is launching the third generation of ZenBooks. Yesterday we told you about the ZenBook 3 Deluxe UX490UA, and now it is time for two new installments of the ZenBook series. The UX430 and UX530 are two thin, almost bezel-less notebooks with powerful hardware inside. They both offer discrete graphics cards and 7th generation Intel Core processors.
Meanwhile, you can check all available ASUS notebook here: http://amzn.to/2iMapwA
The ZenBook UX430 has a 14-inch screen that fits into a 13-inch chassis making it ultra-portable while giving you a bigger screen. The LED backlit display has a Full HD (1920 x 1080p) resolution with 178 degrees viewing angles and 100% sRGB coverage. This will allow some great visuals with bright and vivid colors. The screen is also surrounded by an ultra-thin bezel that is just 7.18 mm thick. This makes the screen-to-body ratio the impressive 80%. To make it even more portable ASUS has designed the UX430 to be just 15.9 mm thick and just 1.25 kg in weight.
Let's say a few words about the internal components. The UX430 can be equipped with up to i7 CPU from the latest Kaby Lake generation. RAM is up to 16GB DDR4 2133MHz while storage options are up to 512GB SSD. What is most interesting is that there is a discrete graphics card in such a thin and lightweight notebook. ASUS has implemented the NVIDIA GeForce 940MX to ensure high performance in day to day tasks. There will also be a model with an integrated Intel HD Graphics 620 graphics card.
The notebook also features a 50Wh battery that is said to last up to 9 hours. Wi-Fi 802.11ac and Bluetooth 4.1 are present for high-speed connection while you have all the necessary ports including a micro HDMI, USB Type-C and USB 3.1 Gen 1. However, no Thunderbolt 3 port here.
Now the ZenBook UX530 is a bit larger 15.6-inch notebook but it still has a compact design. Unfortunately, there are fewer details available about the big brother of the UX430. However, what we know is that they are going to be practically the same in terms of internals. Again we will find configurations with up to i7 processor, up to 16GB DDR4 SDRAM, up to 512 GB SATA3 SSD and the usual ports. But this time in the UX530 we will have the option to find the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 950 discrete graphics card. This means that you can even play some graphically intense games on this little bad boy.
Information about availability and pricing is scarce. What we know is that both notebooks should launch somewhere in Q2 in the UK.

Popular dog food brands facing recall for potentially 'toxic levels' of vitamin D, FDA warns
(Photo by Ulet Ifansasti/Getty Images)
Posted Dec 04 2018 02:59PM MST
Updated Dec 05 2018 07:00AM MST
FOX NEWS - Multiple dry dog food brands are being recalled after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) said they contain "toxic" levels of vitamin D, which can be deadly to dogs.
The brands include Nutrisca, Natural Life, Sportsman's Pride and Evolve, among others. Many of the affected brands were made by the same manufacturer. Various sizes and flavors — which include chicken, lamb and rice — are subject to the recall. A full list can be found on the FDA's website.
Additional recalls could be announced.
While vitamin D is "an essential nutrient for dogs ... very high amounts can cause serious health problems like kidney failure or death," the FDA said in a statement. The recalls were issued after pet owners contacted the food and drug agency with reports of vitamin D toxicity in their dogs after they consumed food from one of these brands.
"FDA scientists have evaluated samples of some of these products, and State and private lab test results indicate that the food contained as much as approximately 70 times the intended amount of vitamin D," the FDA added.
In severe cases, vitamin D toxicity can lead to kidney failure or even death in dogs. Those who survive may have "long-term impairments," including kidney or heart disease, which require "life-long management," according to VCA Animal Hospitals.
If your dog eats one of the affected brands, be on the lookout for vomiting, loss of appetite, increased thirst, weight loss, increased urination and excessive drooling — all of which are signs of vitamin D toxicity, according to the FDA.
"Pet owners should discontinue feeding these recalled products," the FDA said, noting "the only pet products that have been impacted are food made for dogs" at this time.

'The Rise of Skywalker' is title for next 'Star Wars' film
Updated Apr 12 2019 05:11PM MST
"No one is ever really gone," says the voice of Luke Skywalker in the first teaser trailer for "Star Wars: Episode IX," which audiences finally learned will be called "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker" Friday at a fan event in Chicago.
The closely guarded film from director J.J. Abrams will put an end to the Skywalker saga that began over 40 years ago, but even as characters and actors have passed on, the footage shown at Star Wars Celebration suggests that as with all "Star Wars" films, death is just a technicality a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.
Mark Hamill's Skywalker may have died at the end of the most recent installment but his voice dominates the teaser trailer, telling someone, possibly Daisy Ridley's Rey, that, "this is your fight now." And audiences got a tantalizing tease from another figure from the past: Emperor Palpatine from the original and prequel trilogies, whose ominous laugh closes out the promotional spot.


Scientists are discovering new biomaterials for use in bones, tissues, and other locations throughout the human body. We are following recent advances in corneal technology with interest.
Currently, one of the best treatments for keratoconus is through the use of intacs to help strengthen and support the cornea. While this is not a cure for keratoconus it has helped many patients with keratoconus to see more clearly and perhaps avoid the worst of this often debiltating condition.
It is likely that future technologies will follow a similar method to intacs in providing a support structure for the cornea that can help withstand the weakening effects of this collagen disorder. It can be expected that newer biomaterials will be developed that are smaller and stronger. Future advances in nanotechnology might build strong support structures within the cornea that can help delay or counteract the effects of keratoconus.
Currently, patients with keratoconus will often be advised that intacs can provide a level of relief and perhaps slow the effects of keratoconus. Some studies have shown that contact lenses might hasten the onset of keratoconus so many surgeons are suggesting that keratoconus patients using contact lenses should undergo intacs treatment before vision is substantially affected.
