North Yorkshire seemed like such a random place for a pre-wedding shoot, but Brimham Rocks is somewhere that Laura used to go as a child. She mentioned the rock structures and the moors, and how it would be a cool place to shoot. As I had never been before, I saw this as an amazing opportunity to explore creativity in a new environment.
We arrived to a dreary grey sky, but with all the shades of autumn. This place is a photographer's dream. Colours, shapes and awesome little passageways carved our journey through the terrain. Once we had a bit of a wander, we started to take some portraits. It was lovely to talk to Laura and Adam throughout taking the pictures, finding out things they love about each other, their music and movie tastes, and what makes them who they are!
We did get caught in the rain, but we were 10 minutes away from the car, and already a little wet, so they decided to roll with it! For me, this captured the emotion between the pair, the smiles, their eyes, and the way they like to hold each other. I don't like to force intimacy on a couple, rather view the evolution of the shoot and record who they both are when distractions are stripped back and we cut ourselves off from the outside world a little bit.
It was awesome to see the connection in front of the camera between the couple, and the love they share. This duo was so much fun to capture, and a pleasure to spend the day with.

More than half of the world population lives in urban areas, and this percentage is expected to rise to 66% in 2050. And not necessarily by the existence of millions of cities, but because the cities that exist are getting bigger. A clear example is Spain, where over 70% of stocks are considered peoples, while most of the population lives in a city. According to the UN, in 2019 there were in the world a total of 28 'megacities' totalling 453 million people. It is also expected that more than 40 cities with over 10 million inhabitants in 2030. Of the nearly thirty 'megacities' there at present, 16 are in Asia, four in Latin America, three in Africa, three in Europe and two in North America. Tokyo is the most populous city in the world, though its population is expected to fall, continue to hold the top spot for many years, while New Delhi is growing. Here is a list of the 10 most populated cities in the world:
10. New York with 18.5 million residents

07. Osaka with 21 million inhabitants
With a population of about 16 million 800 thousand inhabitants, one of the main challenges facing Osaka is transportation. The train is the required medium, representing 31 percent of total trips; followed shipments walk (27 percent) and cycling (23 percent); while the mobilization cars represents only 15 percent and two percent buses. The issue of water is also a priority, despite the development of policies for their care, including pipes for recycling gray water and rain, an estimated seven percent of drinking water is lost through leakage.
06. Sao Paulo with 21 million residents

02. New Delhi has 28.5 million people
A housing shortage also adds the water, since in Delhi there is a 24% gap between demand and actual supply of this commodity, according to government data. In fact, experts estimate that between 1950 and 2050 water availability in India will fall from 5,177 cubic meters per person in 1140 due to the ever increasing population.

The OneClickRoot program is not a scam. It is a rooting tool that does it all for you in a single click. While it is a great way to root your Android phone, you don't need to be an expert to do it. In fact, you can even hire an expert to root your device for you. Whether it is an adware or a rooted app, OneClickRoot has the features you need to root your Android device.

If you are wondering, "Is rooting device harmful?" you should know that rooting your Android device will make it vulnerable to hacking and malware. While many people use rooting to improve their phone's battery life, speed, and functionality, it also opens up the system to unwanted applications. As a result, your phone's security model is compromised. While rooting your device may be a good idea for certain situations, it's not a good idea for everyone.

To root a device, you will need to install a program called a ROM called "SuperSU". It will allow you to gain elevated privileges on the phone. This application is called a ROM, and it will have the capability to run malicious code on the device. The process can take a few minutes, depending on the device and Android version. If you make a mistake, your phone will be bricked, so follow the instructions carefully.
Jailbreaking your device is legal. While it may be beneficial to unlock the device's features, it can also be dangerous. If you root your device, your warranty will be void, and the manufacturer has the right to refuse service. To avoid this, back up your device before rooting. And make sure you have an anti-malware program before you start. If you're not sure, download Malwarebytes or Kingo Root.
While rooting an Android device may seem like a necessity, it can also be a huge risk. While it will allow you to remove preinstalled apps, block ads, and flash custom ROMs, rooting also puts you at risk. The key is to select a safe root app that will prevent your device from getting rooted or corrupted. This article will discuss the different types of root tools available and which are the safest.
The most popular root app is SuperSU. It will root your device and introduce a set of codes into your Android subsystem. It will also save your preferences and allow you to set a timer for root requests. You should also consider using an unroot tool if you want to protect your phone against malware. The safest root apps will also allow you to remove built-in apps, so you can avoid them later.
SuperSU is another popular Android root app. It is heavier than other apps, but it is free and has a slick interface. It also allows you to root your device without installing any third-party software or connecting it to a PC. It is also free and has multi-user support for Android 4.2. The good news about this app is that it doesn't have an unroot option.
The legality of rooting your phone depends on the country's laws. In many countries, bypassing digital rights management (DRM) is not a crime, as long as it's done for legitimate purposes and isn't to circumvent copyrights. However, in the USA, it is still illegal to root your phone. You must seek permission from your carrier before attempting to root your phone.
While the Free Software Foundation of Europe argues that rooting android devices is legal, the Computer Programs Directive defines it as a copyright infringement. However, the directive also permits the use of rooted devices for interoperability. Users of rooted devices must only install apps that have been legally purchased. New Zealand, India, and the United States have similar laws regarding rooting your phone. The law in the UK does not restrict the use of a Rooted device for copyright reasons.
In the US, it is illegal to import and sell tools and utilities for hacking a mobile device. This is due to the copyright violations that occur when importing these tools and utilities. In Canada, the use of a Rooted phone requires a jailbreak. But, the law does not prohibit rooting smartphones or other handheld devices. This means that jailbreaking is not a crime, so long as the developer of the device doesn't intend to distribute the software to third parties.

There are many advantages to using the Magisk manager for Android devices. You can disable modules and remove them without causing any harm to your device. In recovery mode, the app will prompt you to install Magisk Root. It also protects your device from being hacked by granting access to the root system. To avoid any risks, you can choose to give Magisk Root permission to only certain apps. In this way, you will not have to worry about the security of your system or the safety of your personal data.
Another benefit of using Magisk manager for Android is that it is developer friendly out of the box. This means that you can create modified versions of your own applications. It is also available over the internet and can be installed through an online link. Furthermore, it is free to use, and works in a systemless interface. Moreover, you can root your device without any worry about it messing with your system files or partition.
However, you must be careful when installing Magisk on your device. Not only does this software unlock the bootloader, but it also modifies the operating system, which makes your device less secure. Besides, many apps will not work properly with a rooted device unless they have been modified. If you want to use Magisk, you must hide it with a free app called "MagiskHide."
The first question many Android users have is, "Are rooting apps legit?" This is a big question, especially since the process is not as simple as it might sound. While rooting a device allows you to remove preinstalled software, it also has a few disadvantages. The biggest issue is that it ruins your phone's security. You're left with no control over the system and can make changes to its files without permission. You may also lose access to OTA updates, which are often critical to your phone's functioning.
While the process of rooting a phone is quite simple, it's important to keep in mind the risks. While there are no official safety standards, it's wise to use the latest and greatest antivirus software for your device. Then, use the Google Play Store to search for rooting apps. You'll be able to find a plethora of legitimate rooting apps in the Play Store.
The main difference between rooting and unlocking a phone is that unlocking a phone requires superuser permissions. While rooting is a great way to gain access to your phone's system, it's not advisable for most people. While you might think that it is safe, you can lose your data if you don't do it right. In addition, some apps won't work if you've rooted your phone.
While many people think that rooting their smartphones is illegal, it is not illegal in India. However, most manufacturers discourage their users from tinkering with root access. The tinkering may create critical vulnerabilities in the operating system, and will invalidate the warranty of the device. Besides, it's risky to make any alterations to the device's hardware or software, and will damage it.

Android phones can be rooted in India. Some manufacturers have made it easy to root these phones. For instance, some manufacturers allow users to use developer tools, but this is not illegal. Aside from that, rooting your phone requires special software. If you want to perform a complex procedure, you'll need a computer and specialised software. In this article, we'll look at the legality of rooting.
In most countries, you'll need to have root access on your device. This will allow you to modify and customize your operating system. Unlike with iOS devices, though, Apple's rules about tinkering with the operating system will not prevent you from using your phone. While most manufacturers discourage the use of root access on their products, tinkering with it could lead to critical flaws in the system.
Although rooting is illegal in some countries, it is legal in other countries. Manufacturers do not like users who root their devices because it allows them to make changes that otherwise would be impossible. Often, these actions will void the warranty of the device. In other countries, such as the US, rooting is prohibited. Therefore, it is best to check with the manufacturer before you perform a rooting operation.
The first question you might ask is "is rooting a tablet illegal?" Depending on which country you live in, the answer to this question is yes. Although it is not strictly forbidden, there are some countries where it is against the law to root an Android device. This is done for the purpose of bypassing copyright protection and digital rights management. In the US, however, this method is considered legal since 2013, which makes it more difficult to get a court to void a device's warranty.
In theory, rooting a tablet could be against the law, but the likelihood is extremely low. It's a good idea to refrain from rooting your tablet until the manufacturer decides to sue you. Apple, for example, has already sued several people, so they don't want to risk losing its reputation. Moreover, many Android users aren't worried about losing their warranty, and rooting a tablet is not a crime in most cases.
Similarly, the DMCA prohibits unlocking a phone or tablet without the permission of its carrier. Luckily, if you're thinking about rooting your tablet, you'll be relieved to know that it's completely legal. In the UK, the DMCA is not nearly as restrictive. The UK's copyright act also allows circumventing TPM for legal purposes.

Diana Shipping continues to offload its oldest panamax bulkers and repurchase shares.
The New York-listed company has signed an agreement to sell the 74,400-dwt Erato (built 2004) by 10 June.
The ship will be sold for $7m, just shy of its market value of $7.21m, according to VesselsValue. Its demolition value is $5.73m.
Diana in mid-February announced plans to sell the 75,100-dwt Danae and 75,200-dwt Dione (both built 2001) for $7.2m each.
During last year's fourth quarter, the company sold the 75,200-dwt Alcyon and 75,366-dwt Triton (both built 2001) for $7.45m and $7.35m, respectively.
Once the last two ships are sold, the company's fleet will consist of 25 panamaxes built from 2001 through until 2013.
It will also have 18 capesizes with an average age of eight years and three post-panamaxes averaging seven years old.
Diana Shipping will continue to manage its fleet in a responsible manner to reach a balance of time charter maturities and produce a predictable revenue stream, chief executive Simeon Palios said in late February during a fourth-quarter earnings call.
"As we look ahead in 2019, we will continue the prudent management of our financial position and our fleet and we'll maintain our focus on delivering value to our shareholders," Palios said.
To that end, the company is using the proceeds from the vessel sales to buy back shares, announcing its third buyback in under a year.
Diana today began a tender offer for up to 3.13 million shares, or about 3.1%, of its outstanding common stock at $3.20 per share.
"The board of directors determined that it is in the company's best interest to repurchase shares at this time given Diana Shipping's cash position and stock price," Diana said in a statement.
Shares climbed 2% to $3.10 by late morning today in New York.
Almost three weeks ago, the company snapped up three-quarters of more than five million shares through a late February tender offer.
Shareholders sold 3.89 million units out of 5.18 million units offered on 27 February at $2.80 each, resulting in a $10.9m self-reinvestment with hopes of recapturing $14.5m.
On the last day of 2018, the company confirmed making $15m from a self-tender offer of 4.17 million shares that commenced in late November.

Sunnyvale Woman Says Kaiser Denied Her Prescription Amid Pandemic-Related Shortage
By Emanuel Lee @EmanuelLee4 / March 30, 2020 4
Sunnyvale resident Mara Capio dreads what the next month will bring.
Mara Capio tries not to think about how her body will feel in a month when her hydroxychloroquine prescription runs out. But unless something drastic happens, the 47-year-old Sunnyvale resident will have no choice but to deal with the full force of Sjogren's syndrome—an autoimmune disorder she was diagnosed with 16 years ago.
A shortage of hydroxychloroquine, which sells under the brand name Plaquenil, is one of the many unforeseen consequences of the ever-advancing coronavirus pandemic.
Though evidence is scant for the drug's effectiveness against COVID-19, the nation has seen widespread shortages of the drug ever since President Trump called it a "game changer" at a press conference earlier this month. Last weekend, he tweeted that, "HYDROXYCHLOROQUINE & AZITHROMYCIN, taken together, have a real chance to be one of the biggest game changers in the history of medicine."
A derivative of an antimalarial treatment, chloroquine has been used to treat COVID-19 in China and South Korea and is undergoing clinical trials here in the U.S.
Capio, a social worker at the Palo Alto Veteran's Administration Hospital for 19 years, received the bad news about the rationing early last week, during a one-hour visit at the Kaiser Permanente pharmacy in Mountain View.
"They told me they were only able to get me two weeks worth [of Plaquenil] and I'd have to come back in another week to get another two weeks' [supply]," she said. "I stumbled across the medical director there and was told that they had plenty of Plaquenil and they weren't restricting it. I went back to the pharmacy to see what was taking so long and was told they had to talk to my insurance provider to get approval for medication."
The mixed messages confused her.
"I told them, 'But I don't understand—Kaiser is my insurance,'" she recounted. "'What approval do you need? I've been on Plaquenil for 16 years. Why do you need approval?'"
On March 25, Capio said she got an email from her rheumatologist, who reportedly told her they were unable to prescribe any more of the medication for people with autoimmune diseases because they're saving it for people with COVID-19.
Despite a paucity of evidence that Plaquenil can safely treat the novel coronavirus, demand for the drug has spiked—especially since Trump's vocal endorsements.
Multiple reports have surfaced that doctors across the country are writing Plaquenil prescriptions for their family and friends while some hospitals hoard the treatment to prepare for the worst. Yet increased demand for the once-obscure drug comes at the expense of Capio and millions of other Americans with autoimmune diseases.
"That really upsets me because they don't have COVID-19, and they don't have an autoimmune disease," Capio said. "There is no reason for them to be having it. If Plaquenil was the big cure and it helped everyone with COVID-19, I don't mind suffering and I would be more understanding."
When asked for comment, Kaiser responded with a written statement, saying, how "there is a global shortage of Plaquenil," and that the company is "actively converting patients from Plaquenil to other medications, especially for many patients with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and dermatomyositis, where very good alternative medications exist." A hospital spokesman added: "Physicians are individually contacting their patients to explain this process and discuss their medications."
Capio said she has either talked or exchanged email messages with several different healthcare officials about her situation, including Kaiser's supervisor of patient services at the Mountain View facility and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
The FDA drug shortages department emailed her back to say there's no shortage of Plaquenil, and that she should be able to get it, according to Capio.
"So everywhere I go there is a different story," she said, "and all I know is I need the medication so I can function and go to work."
Capio said she's scared about the potential health issues she faces once her current prescription runs dry in late April.
"My body is not going to have that extra defense," she laments. "I'll be more prone to any illness. I have three kids and usually I am the one getting sick first, not the kids. I'm more likely to get sick from anything, and if it's COVID-19, I'm more likely to have symptoms from it. It really scares me. I'm not sure what I'm going to do at that point."

I have Kaiser also and have a 3 month supply. When I emailed them (they are not reaching out to us) I was told to immediately start taking half doses to make my prescription last longer. There is no other medicine for my Lupus. What they said they could treat is a flare that I may get going off of it. Which means treatment with steroids that I do not want to take. This medicine also protects our organs from damage from lupus. This is a nightmare.
Toni Arden May 1, 2020 @ 4:49 pm
I just received a letter from kaiser stating that I cannot get hydroxychloroquine for sjogrens. I have been on it for 6 yrs. This is going to be a nightmare. I will be in the hospital.
Cathy H May 2, 2020 @ 9:23 am
Toni. I filed a grievance with Kaiser and now they say they can fill my prescription and I can take full dose. The have to document the grievances to the state. I would recommend that to you also. Member services can file it for you

Greece Crisis Is Really About the Future of the European Union
Greece has a choice to make -- and it could affect the future of the European Union.
NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Should Greece leave the eurozone?
Former French president Valery Giscard d'Estaing thinks so. In an interview this week, he suggested that Greece's economy can't thrive with such a strong currency and that its problems aren't just about its debt, which is the focus of the current crisis gripping the nation of 11 million.
Others seem to think that Greece needs to impose flows on capital to keep funds locked up within the country. Still, others argue that the Greek voters elected the current government to express their will that Greece doesn't want to continue with the austerity programs that were begun by the previously elected government to satisfy the wishes of the European Union.
The real problem for Greece and the future of the European Union isn't the country's debt or the euro or even that Greece's fate is tethered so closely to the wishes of the leadership in Germany and Brussels -- it's that you can't have it all. Let me explain.
Greece is a classic example of the issues elucidated by the Economic Trilemma.
The Trilemma contends that a country can achieve only two of the following three things: a fixed exchange rate; a free international flow of capital; and an independent economics policy, generally stated in terms of an independent monetary policy. Greece is trying to have all three.
First, being a member of the eurozone means that Greece is subject to a fixed exchange rate. That is the essence of the currency union. Second, Europe has prospered because it has allowed a free flow of capital through international markets. The free flow of capital internationally has been a major elements in modern global economic advancement. Third, Greece is trying to decouple its economic policy from that of Germany and the other member states by not adhering to the general rules of the eurozone. It's Greece's desire for an independent economic policy that could be the undoing of the European Union.
First option: Giscard d'Estaing, the former French president, has suggested that Greece needs to work with a weaker currency. If Greece left the currency union to work with its own currency while it gets its act together, it would also have access international flows of capital. It would be able to follow the wishes of its citizens who elected the new government and would be able to pursue its own independent economic policies. Under that scenario, Greece would leave the currency union until it was able to re-apply for membership again.
Second option: If capital flows were stopped, then Greece could continue with a fixed exchange rate because it would still be a member of the currency union and could continue to conduct an independent economic policy. It could then reform itself and bring itself up to the standards set by the members of the European Union. If that were accomplished, it could then open up capital markets and be a fully participating member. The question here is whether Greece could reform itself and perform well economically if international capital were not available.
Third option: This is the difficult one for the European Union: To let Greece stay in the eurozone, continue to give it access to international capital but allow it to set its own economic policy. The European Union is working to eventually become a political union, which is one reason that it sets standards and requires member nations to meet those standards. Maintaining the standards is the reason Germany and other members are taking such a hard line against the current Greek government.
If the members of the eurozone allow that kind of freedom of choice to be the standard of conduct within the union, then the European Union won't survive. If every nation within the eurozone can decide that it doesn't like what is going on within the body and can vote to follow a different path and do whatever it wants, then there really is no European Union.
The single currency, right now, is the driving force behind the formation, execution and future of the European Union, and the free flow of capital internationally is a necessary reality of the modern global economy.
The political union is the only thing that is missing from this picture and has been one of the major problem areas experienced by the European Union over the years, especially during the past four or five years. The failure to achieve a political union may be the one thing that keeps the eurozone from achieving its full potential.
This current battle may be a major stepping stone to what might be achieved in the future. That is something Yanis Varoufakis, the Greek finance minister, should be able to explain as an economist and as an alleged game theory expert. Perhaps his gamesmanship has taken into account the true stakes of the negotiations: the future of the European Union.

President Donald Trump and House GOP tax writers discussed "Tax Cuts 2.0" in a July 17 meeting at the White House. The next round of tax cuts will focus primarily on the individual side of the tax code, both Trump and House Ways and Means Chair Kevin Brady, R-Tex., reiterated to reporters at the White House before the meeting.
The discussion between Trump and several top House GOP tax writers was set to focus, in particular, on how to further strengthen the economy post-tax reform, Brady said. "We think the best place to start is with America's middle class families and our small businesses," he added. Brady has said that making permanent the individual tax cuts that are set to expire in 2026 under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) ( P.L. 115-97) is a top priority for Republicans.
Trump is also calling for lowering the corporate tax rate to 20 percent. The corporate tax rate was lowered last December from 35 percent to 21 percent by the TCJA.
Brady told reporters earlier in the week of July 16 that discussions between House GOP tax writers and the White House were continuing on the possible proposal. While Brady did not openly commit to the notion of further lowering the corporate tax rate, he did tell reporters that he thinks the president is right that global competitors will likely respond in kind to last year's tax reform.
Brady's estimated timeline for votes on the tax cuts package is in line with his statements in June that House GOP members will receive a legislative outline of the proposal this month. Further, a draft of the tax package is expected to be released publicly in August.
At this time, the Tax Cuts 2.0 package is not expected on Capitol Hill to fare well in the Senate. The package would need at least nine Democratic votes to clear the chamber.
"The GOP tax scam was a huge tax break for big corporations," Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., said in a July 17 tweet. "We should reward work, not just wealth," she added. While Democrats remain outspoken against the TCJA for primarily benefiting corporations, Republicans are hopeful for Democratic support, just prior to midterm elections, on a measure that focuses on individual tax cuts.

At halftime, it would have seemed like nonsense to believe that Game 4 would come down to a Marcus Morris jump shot.
The Boston Celtics trailed 51-35 at the half to Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday, ultimately falling behind by as many as 20 in the third quarter. But they mounted a ridiculous comeback, which allowed for the game to come down to the final play.
With 5.1 seconds on the clock, Morris got the ball crosscourt about 15 feet from the basket from a Jayson Tatum inbound. After putting the ball on the floor a few times, he shot a fadeaway jumper, which clanked off the iron. The 104-102 loss at BMO Harris Bradley Center resulted in the series coming back to Boston even at two games apiece.
With speculation being that the play was not drawn up for Morris, it turns out that what the forward did wasn't exactly wrong, it was just Plan B.
Celtics head coach Brad Stevens explained after the game that the play originally was for Morris to get the ball, but to kick it out to point guard Terry Rozier for a would-be game-winning 3-pointer off a misdirection. Rozier successfully lost his man, but Bucks guard Malcolm Brogdon had a good read on the play and switched to cover Rozier, forcing Morris into taking the shot.
"Yeah that was something that (Rozier) did a great job of, cutting, misdirecting, lost his guy," Stevens said, via the NBA. "Brogdon jumped out and switched. Morris read it right. Morris got up a really good look, I feel really good about that with five seconds left in the game.
— For the second game in a row, horrid first-half shooting essentially wiped the Celtics' chances of victory before the second half began.
Through the first 24 minutes, Boston was shooting at a 30-percent clip, and if not for some contributions from Jaylen Brown, it would have been trailing far worse than 51-35. Putting itself in that spot has been its downfall in both losses.
In Friday's blowout defeat, the Celtics shot 30.8 percent from the field in the first half. While they didn't improve at all throughout the game — as opposed to Sunday's 20-point comeback — it gave them quite the uphill battle even if they had begun to shoot better.
— Brown continues his impressive postseason, this time posting a game-high 34 points in the Game 4 loss.
The second-year swingman has tallied at least 20 points in three of the four games, with two such instances being at least 30-point performances. Without a prolific scorer like Kyrie Irving available due to injury, the Celtics have needed someone to step up and be that scorer, and suffice to say Brown mostly has done just that.
— Prior to the game, Marcus Smart gave an encouraging update on the health of his thumb. He is going to be reevaluated in New York on Tuesday, and if given the OK, he will be able to go for a now-necessary Game 6.

Storm Stella: North-eastern US states hit by huge snowstorms
InterSpaceReporter
A man walks through the snow in New York City on Tuesday
The north-eastern US states of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Virginia have declared states of emergency as a huge winter storm sweeps in, bringing heavy snow.
The US National Weather Service issued blizzard warnings from eastern Pennsylvania to south-west Maine.
Schools are closed and thousands of flights have been cancelled.
The conditions caused German Chancellor Angela Merkel to postpone a trip to Washington to meet President Trump.
It has now been rescheduled for Friday.
With winds of up to 60mph (100km/h), the storm is expected to cause severe disruption for commuters across many parts of the north-east.
In all, about 50 million people across the country have been warned about the severe weather.
There has also been heavy snow in other parts of the country. In the state of Wisconsin, four people aged over 60 died in separate incidents while shovelling snow, according US media.
Why do so many people die shovelling snow?

Less snow than anticipated is now expected to fall in New York City, with the forecast downgraded to between 4 and 8 inches (10-20cm) by the US National Weather Service.
However, up to two feet of snow was still expected other parts of New York state, the service said.
Media captionBBC Weather's John Hammond looks at where the storm is headed
"During its height we could see snowfall rates of 1-3 inches (2.5-7.6cm), even up to four inches per hour," said Alan Dunham, a meteorologist based in Taunton, Massachusetts.
More than 6,800 flights have been cancelled, tracking service FlightAware reported, with airports in New York, Washington, Boston, Baltimore and Philadelphia worst hit.
Many schools have closed in New York and Rhode Island, and in some towns across Massachusetts and Connecticut.
New York city is experiencing freezing conditions
Declaring a state of emergency, New York Governor Andrew Cuomo said commuters should expect road closures, delays and cancellations.
"I strongly urge everyone to limit unnecessary travel on Tuesday and if you must drive, please plan ahead, be careful, and stay safe," he said in a statement.
Last night, Mr Cuomo advised New Yorkers to prepare food supplies for seven to 10 days, and an emergency supply of bottled water.
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie also declared a state of emergency and ordered all state employees not involved in the response to stay at home.
Wall Street's bull-and-girl statue, covered in snow in New York City
In Canada, Ontario, Quebec and the Maritime provinces are also bracing for the storm, and numerous flights have already been cancelled and delayed.
The winter storm follows a spell of unusually mild weather in the north-eastern US, with last month being the second warmest February since record-keeping began in 1895.
President Trump said he had spoken to Homeland Security and that the Federal Emergency Management Agency was ready to provide assistance where needed.
"Everybody in government is fully prepared and ready," he said. "Let's hope it's not going to be as bad as some people are predicting. Usually it isn't."
In 2016 New York experienced the biggest snowstorm in the city's history, with a record 27.3 inches falling on Central Park in 24 hours.
The blizzard brought parts of the north-eastern states to a standstill, and left 18 people dead.

Are Dogs Allowed in National Parks?
Scattered around the world are thousands of national parks. And given that most of these parks have been declared with the intention of conserving and protecting the area, which is often relative "wilderness", not surprisingly pets including dogs are not always allowed inside.
However, the rules and attitudes to pets being permitted inside national parks varies greatly around the world. While there are some countries that prohibit pets in basically all national parks, many countries are more welcoming to pets. Read on to find out more about whether your dog is allowed in national parks in various parts of the world.
Are Dogs Allowed in National Parks in the United States?
The United States has a very balanced approach to pets in national parks. In general, pets including dogs are permitted inside most (but not all) national parks, but with restrictions.
Pets are most commonly allowed in developed areas (including inside your car and on paved walking paths), on some trails (especially popular, longer hiking trails), and in many campgrounds and lodging facilities. Pets are not permitted inside public buildings, in public transportation vehicles (including shuttle buses used in more popular parks) and at designated swimming beaches.
Dogs aren't allowed on this trail in the Redwood National and State Parks
Pets must also always be on a leash, not exceeding 6 feet in length, or else crated. For more information, click here.
The US National Park Service website has a great map showing which parks and monuments do and don't allow pets. There are some red dots showing parks that don't allow pets, but the majority of dots are green, denoting parks that allow pets, although you should click on the link for each individual park's pet policy.
I also recommend clicking on further details for parks showing as a red dot: strangely Joshua Tree National Park is shown with a red dot, but dogs are permitted in this park, at least in your car and no further than 30m from any road, picnic area or campground.
Many popular parks that restrict access to pets either have on-site kennels or can direct you to other nearby kennels, where your dog can spend the day while you're off on an adventure. For instance, this is the case at the Grand Canyon National Park, where your dog can board at the South Rim Kennel, if you're wanting to hike below the rim of the canyon.
Dogs are allowed in the Grand Canyon National Park, but not below the rim
For some parks, it may also be better to visit the park with your dog outside of peak periods. Many of the more popular parks, such as Zion National Park, run shuttle buses during the peak season, with no private vehicles allowed. As pets are not permitted on these buses, it's better to visit during the off-peak season, when you can still drive around the park with your dog in your car.
Are Dogs Allowed in National Parks in UK and Europe?
National parks are a bit different in Europe, with many parks not being areas of natural wilderness like they are in many other parts of the world, and often including villages and farms. For this reason, there are many less restrictions on pets including dogs in these national parks.
A surprisingly example of a European national park is the Cinque Terre National Park in Italy. Yes, this popular tourist attraction with its five villages and traditional terraces is a national park to help conserve it! While there are restrictions on visitors, especially in the peak period, there are little to no rules aimed at dogs, other than the usual guideline to keep dogs on leashes and pick up after them.
Does this look like a national park to you?
In the United Kingdom, there are 15 national parks and all allow dogs, encouraging responsible dog-walkers to visit them! However, there are regulations to follow. In particular, your dog should be kept close by, within sight, and under your control. Leashes are required around farm animals, from March to July when many ground-nesting birds lay eggs on the ground, plus on open access land. See the previous link for the full rules.
Hiking with Schnitzel in Snowdonia National Park in the UK
However, just because dogs are allowed in most national parks, with little to no rules except for requirements for leashes in some areas, doesn't mean there aren't ever exceptions.
A country with tighter regulations of dogs is Poland, home to 23 national parks. Unless otherwise signposted, walking dogs is strictly controlled, with dogs required to be muzzled and on a lead. In particular, the popular Tatra National Park – Tatrzański Park Narodowy (Zakopane) has a full ban on dog walking, except for in the Chocholowska Valley. The Tatra National Park across the border in Slovakia has less restrictions.
Are Dogs Allowed in National Parks in Australia?
Whenever I hear complaints from people about restrictions on dogs in national parks in the USA and Europe, I tend to be somewhat amused. That's because my home country of Australia has some of the strictest rules on pets in national parks in the world.
Forget about hiking with your dog in national parks in Australia. Even forget about visiting national parks with your pet at all. In Australia, generally pets are forbidden from all national parks, even if they remain in your car, except for cases where you need to drive through a national park, during which time you can't stop at all in the national park. And there's no shortage of national parks in Australia – nearly 700, with more being added.
No dogs allowed in this national park in Australia
There are a handful of exceptions in some states of Australia. For instance, in Victoria dogs are permitted at Johanna Beach in the Great Otways National Park. There are also some parks near Adelaide in South Australia that permit dogs (on a leash, of course), including Belair, Onkaparinga River and Para Wirra. In my home state of NSW, there are unfortunately no exceptions.
The reasons given for the strict ban on pets in national parks in Australia are multiple, as listed here. As well as the possible impact on Australia's native wildlife, which can be stressed out just from foreign scents, there is also the risk to pets themselves, due to the common use of baiting for foxes and other feral animals. Unfortunately, one of other reasons is that they don't trust people would abide by the rules if pets were allowed, including keeping them on a leash and picking up after them, which is a pity.
Are Dogs Allowed in National Parks in New Zealand?
Just as Australia and New Zealand have similarly strict quarantine laws for pets arriving in the countries, the rules regarding pets in national parks in New Zealand are similar to the rules in Australia.
Pets are also strictly not allowed in the 13 national parks in New Zealand, along with the country's nature reserves and wildlife sanctuaries, not even in your car. I recently saw a photo on Facebook of someone next to a sign stating this, along with a possible fine of up to $100,000. This is classified as an offence under the National Parks Act.
Dogs are not permitted inside national parks in New Zealand
Dogs are however allowed in some areas managed by the NZ Department of Conservation. For more information, head to this page.
Back in 2018, there was a proposal to allow dogs inside one national park in New Zealand, due to limited places for local residents of one town to walk their dogs. However, this was quickly shot down.

Q: Can't click on the table created with jquery I'm creating a table with images using jQuery. My js code looks like this:
$(document).ready(function() {
    var korpusArray = new Array();
    $.getJSON("file.js", function(data) {
        var korpusId;
        var korpusChooseTable = "

";
        $.each(data, function(i, value) {
            korpusArray.push(value.text);
            strRemove = value.filename.replace("korpus/", "");
            korpusChooseTable += '
'+value.title+'

'+value.id+'

	';
        });
        korpusChooseTable += '

';
        $("#korpusChoose").html(korpusChooseTable);
        console.log(korpusArray.length);
        console.log(data.length);
    });
    // after this I wanna click on table cell and do some function but
    // it doesnt work. Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong?
    $("#korpusChoose #TableKorpusGaleria tbody td").click(function() {
        alert();
    });
});

A: Use delegation for dynamically created items - if the element does not exist at the time of binding... which is usually at dom ready - then no event handlers will be attached
jQuery 1.7 and up http://api.jquery.com/on/
$("#korpusChoose ").on('click','#TableKorpusGaleria tbody td',function(){
       alert();
});

or jQuery 1.6 down to jQuery 1.4.3 http://api.jquery.com/delegate/
$("#korpusChoose ").delegate('#TableKorpusGaleria tbody td','click',function(){
       alert();
});

Rewriting the .live() method in terms of its successors is straightforward; these are templates for equivalent calls for all three event attachment methods:
$(selector).live(events, data, handler);                // jQuery 1.3+
$(document).delegate(selector, events, data, handler);  // jQuery 1.4.3+
$(document).on(events, selector, data, handler);        // jQuery 1.7+

Another way would be to add right after you add it to the dom
$("#korpusChoose").html(korpusChooseTable);

then right after
$("#korpusChoose #TableKorpusGaleria tbody td").click(function(){
     alert();
});

Though the latter is less efficient since you would be binding an event handler to every td element in the table - using delegation you only bind it to a parent element which exists in the dom and will handle the event when it bubbles up

A: Because the table is created dynamically, you will need to use event delegation, using jquery's on.  This will allow you to attach a handler before the element exists.
$("#korpusChoose #TableKorpusGaleria tbody td").click(function(e){

would instead be
$("container").on("focus", "#korpusChoose #TableKorpusGaleria tbody td",function(e){

where container is a selector for some static ancestor element which is not dynamically loaded.  If no such container exists, document can be used, though this is to be avoided where possible.

A: Because the table is generated dynamically you could use:
$('#mytable').live('click', function() {
    // Click event handler action here...
});

Using the live() method to bind event handlers they will also be triggered on elements created dynamically by AJAX calls or similar.
Update: Since .live() is deprecated since JQuery 1.7, thanks to Andrew, consider using .on() for event delegation.

A: Use jquery $("table").live("click",function(){
}); Attach an event handler for all elements which match the current selector, now and in the future. Jquery click only binds the click event for present elements in the document .

MEP Interest Group on Brain, Mind and Pain – Meeting report
On 29th November 2022, the MEP Interest Group on Brain Mind and Pain (BMP), under the patronage of the European Parliament and the Czech Presidency of the Council of the EU, hosted a hybrid event entitled 'Addressing Gender related issues and bias in the Prevention and Treatment of Neurological Conditions'.
The event's main objective was to discuss how the Interest Group can advance meaningful policies and interventions to address the drivers of gender health inequity. The event was attended by EU policymakers, healthcare professionals, patient organisations and industry representatives.
EFNA President, Joke Jaarsma with MEP Sirpa Pietikäinen (FI, EPP)
The participants were welcomed by Ms Joke Jaarsma (President EFNA) and Ms Dierdre Ryan (President Pain Alliance Europe), who called for a change in the approach to how female patients with neurological conditions and chronic pain are perceived and the importance of collaborating with stakeholders to address this issue. MEP Patrizia Toia (IT, S&D) shared her message through a video highlighting the EU initiatives where the gender dimension should be further emphasised to ensure equal treatment, access, and conditions for women in this field.
Ms Richelle Flanagan (Co-founder My Moves Matter) and Ms Lucía Montón (Member of European Migraine & Headache Alliance), shared their inspiring stories of living with neurological conditions. There were followed by Ms Peggy Maguire (Director General European Institute of Women's Health), who set the scene for the event noting the EU progress in addressing gender bias in the treatment of neurological conditions, but emphasised the need for a more robust plan of action for national health systems to respond to the needs of women.
The panel discussion, which included an impressive line-up of experts on the topic, including Ms Joke Jaarsma, Dr Anne Pépin (Senior Policy Officer, DG Research and Innovation – European Commission), Prof Elena Moro (President-Elect, European Academy of Neurology), Ms Richelle Flanagan (Co-founder, My Moves Matter) and Ms Anna Dé (Policy Advisor, Women's Brain Project), focused on a variety of topics including the inclusion of women in research, the importance of gender education among healthcare professionals, the need for more action to prioritise neurology and a call for patients to be heard more prominently at an institutional level.
Mr Tadeusz Hawrot (Senior Policy Advisory, EFNA), discussed the neurological and gender equity revolution, where female empowerment should be a public health priority. MEP Sirpa Pietikäinen (FI, EPP) followed with an inspiring closing statement, highlighting not only the importance of including women in research but acknowledging gender differences when conducting research. The event was closed by Ms Joke Jaarsma (President EFNA), who further noted the urgency for health system to respond to the consequences of gender issues related to neurological conditions.
Stay tuned to the website of the MEP Interest Group on Brain, Mind and Pain where over the coming weeks we will share a detailed report and video recording of the event.

Empty Stocking Fund: Agassiz mom of five helped with open arms returns the favour
Cheryl Chan More from Cheryl Chan
The woman at the front desk welcomed Haines with open arms and loads of compassion.
Ingrid Haines remembers the shame she felt walking into Agassiz-Harrison Community Services for the first time over the holidays.
It was winter 2009. A pregnant Haines and her husband, Robert, a licensed practical nurse, had just moved back to Agassiz from Abbotsford. Money was tight and they had young mouths to feed.
"As I was walking in the door, I felt ashamed and uncomfortable asking for a food hamper," said Haines.
But the woman at the front desk welcomed Haines with open arms and loads of compassion. She gave her a couple big bags of food. Then, because they didn't have any Christmas hampers available, the woman phoned the Salvation Army in Chilliwack, which set aside a hamper for Haines.
Since then, Haines, now 50, a full-time mom with five children aged eight to 17, has utilized the food bank and Christmas hamper program when she needs it.
She also volunteers at the food bank and Better Beginnings, a program that provides support for pregnant women and new moms — enabling her to pass on to others the kindness and generosity shown to her in her time of need.
It gives me such joy to be able to help them because I am one of them
"It gives me such joy to be able to help them because I am one of them," she said. "I get to give food hampers and Christmas hampers with a big smile to try to take away from what they may be feeling that, 'I have no money and feel so ashamed to be here asking for food.' "
Brianne Messenger, the food bank co-ordinator, said Agassiz-Harrison Community Services is a small food bank that allows them to get to know their clients better. Some people may feel uncomfortable asking for help, but that is what they're there for, she said. "We are a low-barrier food bank. We will help anybody who comes into the door so long as they live in the area."
As one of the recipients of The Province's Empty Stocking Fund, the organization uses the money to buy groceries for its hampers, which are distributed to more than 150 households or roughly 400 people.
The fund, now in its 101st year, is dedicated to supporting families throughout the province by raising funds during the holiday season.
On the same day as the hamper pickup, families get to pick out donated gifts and toys. They can also access toques, scarves and clothes from a donated winter-clothes closet.
Haines said the hamper helps her family, big Christmas fans one and all, maintain one of its cherished traditions — the "Christmas morning lifesaver," a savoury baked dish made with torn-up bread, eggs, sausage, vegetables and topped with cheese.
The hamper is "a huge help," she said. "That just means the world to me and my family. I feel really blessed I am given that."

EMPTY STOCKING FUND: Nygard steps up for less fortunate
Five things to know about Ukrainian Christmas


MORGAN CITY, La., May 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Conrad Industries, Inc. (OTC Pink Sheets: CNRD) announced today its first quarter 2017 results.
For the quarter ended March 31, 2017, Conrad's net income was $119,000 and earnings per diluted share was $0.02 compared to net income of $2.6 million and earnings per diluted share of $0.49 during the first quarter of 2016. Results for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 included research and development tax credits of $579,000. No research and development tax credits are included in the results for the quarter ended March 31, 2017. The Company's financial reports are available at www.otcmarkets.com.
Conrad's backlog was $183.0 million at March 31, 2017 compared to $216.5 million at December 31, 2016 and $189.9 million at March 31, 2016.
Johnny Conrad, President and CEO stated, "Our results reflect a continued difficult operating environment and we expect 2017 to be another challenging year. Although our bid activity has been good and we see some opportunities, our new construction segment was adversely affected by a soft market for energy transportation, increased pricing pressure, and customer delays on large project orders. Our repair and conversion segment continues to be impacted by low crude oil prices and there continues to be little visibility due to the short-term nature of this work."
Mr. Conrad continued, "In addition, our first quarter operating results were affected by losses on the LNG Barge. Despite the losses we have incurred on the construction of the LNG Barge, the first vessel of its kind ever constructed in North America, we believe that we have developed the resources to establish ourselves as a leader in LNG marine-related construction in North America. Management continues to focus on effectively executing our backlog, adding new contracts, improving efficiencies, and controlling costs."
Conrad Industries, Inc., established in 1948 and headquartered in Morgan City, Louisiana, designs, builds and overhauls tugboats, ferries, liftboats, barges, offshore supply vessels and other steel and aluminum products for both the commercial and government markets. The company provides both repair and new construction services at its five shipyards located in southern Louisiana and Texas.

How Detention and Deportation Inflict Psychological Trauma on Latino Citizen Children: Study
Jan 31, 2017 12:14 PM EST Comment
Immigration is a contentious political debate, but what are the psychological effects on families when deportations occur? U.S. citizen children of immigrants, a large segment of the U.S. child population, have diverse mental health needs. How these needs are met - or ignored - by current public policies and practices can have long-term consequences for the development and well-being of this vulnerable population.

PASADENA, Calif., January 30, 2016 - Immigration is a contentious political debate, but what are the psychological effects on families when deportations occur? U.S. citizen children of immigrants, a large segment of the U.S. child population, have diverse mental health needs. How these needs are met - or ignored - by current public policies and practices can have long-term consequences for the development and well-being of this vulnerable population.
With funding provided by the Foundation for Child Development Young Scholars Program, Dr. Lisseth Rojas-Flores of Fuller Theological Seminary's School of Psychology evaluated the role detention or deportation of a parent has on the mental health of citizen children. Results from her study are in "Trauma and Psychological Distress in Latino Citizen Children Following Parental Detention and Deportation," a peer-reviewed article recently published in the American Psychological Association's journal Psychological Trauma: Theory, Research, Practice, and Policy.
Citing proposed immigration legislation currently being discussed by the newly elected Trump administration, Dr. Rojas-Flores, associate professor of marital and family therapy at Fuller Seminary, says that highlighting this topic is necessary because of the potential trauma that will be inflicted upon millions of U.S. children if mass deportation takes effect. Trauma has debilitating effects across all aspects of a child's functioning and is a costly public health issue. President Trump recently signed an executive order calling for an expanded effort to identify and remove immigrants who are in the country illegally. According to the executive order, he intends to revive programs that will allow the federal government to work with local and state law enforcement agencies to arrest and detain unauthorized immigrants and to share information to help track and apprehend them. The Trump administration is expected to restore factory raids, carried out during the George W. Bush administration and partly through the Obama administration, in which Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers raid factories and apprehend unauthorized immigrant workers whose children are often left behind.
"Nearly a third of children of immigrants in the United States-that is, about 5.5 million children-have an undocumented parent who is at risk of being detained a deported, and most of these children are U.S.-born citizens," Dr. Rojas-Flores said. "This generation of young Americans-at constant risk of losing a parent, of having their families torn apart by immigration enforcement-are an important segment of our society and must be considered in the reformulation of immigration policies." Detention and/or deportation of a parent often creates great challenges for children and families at home, school, and in their communities.
Dr. Rojas-Flores conducted the study from 2013 to 2015 in which she researched U.S. citizen children of undocumented and legal permanent resident parents born in Mexico or Central America (e.g., Nicaragua, Honduras, El Salvador, Guatemala). Specifically, this study investigated mixed-status Latino families with U.S.-born citizen children between ages 6 and 12 living in the Southwest region of the U.S.
At the outset of the study, Dr. Rojas-Flores and the co-authors note the extensive body of research that demonstrates how potentially traumatic events (PTEs) in childhood (e.g., losing a parent, experiencing forced parent-child separations, and the incarceration [by extension detention] of a parent) are important social determinants that pose serious risks for lifelong mental and medical illnesses. Increased PTEs experienced by children were related to increased vulnerability to Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD). PTSD has debilitating effects on child development and functioning and is a costly public health issue. Moreover, the study notes that, to the best of the researchers' knowledge, no studies have systematically assessed PTSD symptoms and overall psychological distress among citizen children of immigrant parents with precarious legal status using extrafamilial informants (e.g., teacher, clinician, etc.) and well-established measures of child functioning (e.g., standardized and normed).
The findings of the study indicate that:
Having an unauthorized parent creates a risk to children's mental health above and beyond socioeconomic risk. Though there is a well-recognized understanding to the challenges of poverty, children whose parent is unauthorized are susceptible to mental health risks even exceeding those of impoverishment.
Citizen children of detained and deported parents experience more psychological distress (e.g., anxiety and depression symptoms) compared to peers whose parents had no involvement with immigration enforcement.
Citizen children of detained and deported parents fare much worse in terms of trauma symptoms (PTSD) compared to peers whose parents had no involvement with immigration enforcement, and peers whose parents were legal permanent residents
The study concludes that "the current and heightened enforcement of immigration laws poses a serious public health challenge to U.S.-born children of undocumented parents. Not only is PTSD recognized as a high priority public health issue, but child PTEs, such as losing a parent, pose serious risks for lifelong mental and medical illnesses." The study goes on to note that children experiencing more PTEs were rated by parents and teachers as exhibiting more externalized symptoms and were at greater risk of misdiagnosis (e.g., with attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder or conduct issues).
The researchers advocate for "a call for action to prevent forced parental separation and constant threat of potential loss of a parent due to immigration enforcement." Furthermore, the authors recommend affordable and culturally relevant services for children of detained or deported parents and for citizen children of parents living in the shadows. "A reevaluation of immigration policies that have significant effects on access to health services is also extremely relevant to the well-being of Latino citizen children."
One such policy that could provide support for these vulnerable young citizens may come in the form of trauma-informed mental health services; a policy analogous to Assembly Bill 1644 instituted by the State of California and then-California Attorney General Kamala Harris. AB 1644 is a four-year pilot program that assists elementary schools in providing mental health services to students with high levels of childhood trauma and adversity, including abuse, neglect, and community violence. "Childhood trauma can have a devastating and lasting impact not only on our children but also on our families and our communities," said now-Senator Harris.
Dr. Rojas-Flores's teaching, research, and scholarship are deeply informed by culture and context, and she takes a special interest in addressing the interrelationships between family, mental health, and social justice. Her primary research has focused on trauma, youth violence prevention, and the quality of parent-child relationships and overall well-being of children and parents living in low-income immigrant families in the U.S. In an international context, she is conducting collaborative research looking at the impact of community violence and trauma on adolescents, parents, and teachers living in El Salvador. Most recently, Dr. Rojas-Flores has been researching displaced communities in Colombia and the role that faith leaders play in supporting their reintegration and flourishing. As a bilingual/bicultural clinical psychologist, she also provides clinical assessments to Central American unaccompanied minors. Her work has been published in journals such as Psychological Trauma, International Perspectives of Psychology, and Anxiety, Stress, & Coping: An International Journal.

The new Bontrager XR3 Team Issue Tires and TLR Sealant are designed to be used together.
Just into Mtbr test HQ this week are the new Bontrager XR3 Team Issue tires and Bontrager TLR Sealant. We haven't had a chance to play around with either yet, but did manage to slap the tires on our house scale. The Bontrager XR3 Team Issue 29×2.4 has a claimed weight of 755g; we measured them at 774g. Meanwhile, the 27.5×2.8 model has an 833g claimed weight, and came in at 844g (sorry it's a little hard to see in photo below).
The Bontrager XR3Team Issue 29×2.4 tires came in at 774g.
According to Bontrager, they completely revamped the tread, taking design cues from two of their most popular mountain bike tires, the XR2 and XR4. The idea with the 120tpi Bontrager XR3 Team Issue is that you get the fast rolling center tread of an XR2, and the hard biting side knobs of the XR4. The result, says Bontrager, is a raceable XC tire that can also handle some reasonably aggressive trail riding.
Read the Mtbr Review of the Bontrager XR4 TLR Tires.
The Bontrager XR3Team Issue 27.5×2.8 tires came in at 844g.
The Bontrager XR3 Team Issue tire is designed to offer riders traction and speed in a variety of trail conditions.
Like all Bontrager XR Series Team Issue tires, the XR3 features a lighter Inner Strength casing for additional sidewall reinforcement, and is Tubeless Ready for easy tubeless setup. It's also worth mentioning that for every Bontrager mountain bike tire that Trek sells in North America, they donate $1 to support NICA, the national high school XC racing league. Pricing for the Bontrager XR3 Team Issue tires is $55 for the 29×2.4 model and $95 for the 27.5×2.8s.
These new tires are 120tpi with a 62a/60a durometer.
To keep air in its new tires Bontrager has also updated their tubeless ready (TLR) Sealant. The new blue-colored formulation is billed as providing a non-corrosive and ammonia free tubeless solution, that also now offers improved air retention and resists drying giving it an overall better tubeless experience with lasting performance. The new TLR Sealant comes in 3oz bottles for $4, as well as quart bottles for $28.
Bontrager says the ammonia-free formula won't corrode rims or degrade tire rubber, and it provides permanent repair for punctures up to 6.5mm.
To learn more head over to www.trekbikes.com.
This new tire has a fast-rolling center tread and aggressive side knobs to keep you rolling fast and confident around corners.
Bontrager's latest TLR sealant is claimed to seal faster, lasts longer, and provides better air retention.

Switzerland Approves Tax Reform
Contribution by Ernst & Young.
On 19 May 2019, in a popular vote, Switzerland approved the Federal Act on Tax Reform and AHV (Old-Age and Survivors Insurance) Financing (TRAF) as adopted by the Federal Parliament last fall. The tax reform's objectives include: (i) securing the long-term tax attractiveness of Switzerland as a business location; (ii) restoring international acceptance of the Swiss tax system; and (iii) securing an appropriate level of tax revenue. The tax reform brings the replacement of certain preferential tax regimes with a new set of internationally accepted measures. The legislative changes align with the broad reduction of the cantonal corporate tax rates.
The last proposed tax reform with the same aim – Corporate Tax Reform III – was rejected by the Swiss voters at the beginning of 2017. Since the need for tax reform was undisputed, the Federal Council immediately drew up a new proposal. Based on the rejection of Corporate Tax Reform III, TRAF was combined with additional AHV financing as a form of socio-political compensation.
Core tax measures
Abolishment of preferential tax regimes
At the cantonal level, tax privileges for holding companies, domicile companies and mixed companies are terminated. At the federal level, the profit allocation rules for principal companies and Swiss finance branches no longer apply.
Tax-free disclosure of hidden reserves
Hidden reserves including any self-created goodwill at the point in time of transition from privileged to ordinary taxation or migration to Switzerland are confirmed by the tax authorities. In the case of a migration to Switzerland, the so called step-up system is applied. The tax-free disclosed hidden reserves are to be depreciated annually at the rate applied for tax purposes to the respective assets. In the case of a transition, the so-called two-rate system is applied. Profits relating to the realization of hidden reserves that were generated under a (now abolished) privileged tax regime are subject to a separate tax rate. The cantons are free to determine the amount of this special tax rate. The two-rate system ensures a competitive income tax burden during a five-year transition period. It should be noted that taxpayers may revoke voluntarily their tax privileged status before the reform enters into force (so-called early transition). Depending on the transitional regulations offered by the cantons, this may be a beneficial option.
Patent box with a maximum relief of 90%, mandatory at the cantonal level
A core element of the reform is the introduction of a patent box regime in accordance with the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development standard. In the box, net profits from domestic and foreign patents and similar rights are to be taxed separately with a maximum reduction of 90% (rate at cantonal discretion).
R&D super deduction of maximum 50%, optional at cantonal level
The introduction of this super deduction for domestic R&D is Switzerland's commitment to be recognized as an attractive location for R&D. The maximum deduction of 50% (rate at cantonal discretion) is limited to personnel expenses for R&D plus a flat-rate surcharge of 35% for other costs and 80% of expenses for domestic R&D carried out by third parties or group companies.
Notional interest deduction (NID), optional at cantonal level
So-called high-tax cantons have the possibility of introducing a NID on excess capital. According to the currently published intentions of the cantonal governments regarding tax rate developments, only the canton of Zurich meets the requirements.
Overall tax relief of 70%, mandatory at the cantonal level
The patent box, R&D super deduction, and NID as well as possible depreciations from the early transition from privileged to ordinary taxation are subject to the overall tax relief of 70%.
Additional measures
Adjustments in taxation of dividend income from qualifying participations
Dividend income of individuals from qualifying participations is currently partially exempt from taxation to mitigate double taxation at the shareholder level. At the federal level, the taxation rate increases from 50% (business investments) and 60% (private investments) respectively to a standard rate of 70%. At the cantonal level, there is a harmonization of the relief method and an introduction of a minimum taxation rate of 50% (rate at discretion of cantons).
Capital tax relief, optional at the cantonal level
Privileged taxed companies usually benefit from a low capital tax rate. To compensate for the loss of this tax advantage, the cantons are given the possibility to reduce the taxable capital on patents and similar rights, qualifying participations and intra-group loans to also remain competitive from this angle.
Adjustments of the capital contribution principle
Swiss-listed companies may only pay tax-free capital contribution reserves if they pay taxable dividends in the same amount. Intra-group dividends and capital contribution reserves from assets transferred from abroad after 24 February 2008 and in the case of a liquidation are not affected by this scheme. The above rules shall also apply to the issue of bonus shares and nominal value increases from capital contribution reserves.
Extension of the flat-rate tax credits on foreign companies' permanent establishments
To prevent international double taxation, Swiss permanent establishments of foreign companies should be able to claim withholding taxes on income from third countries with a flat-rate tax credit.
Social compensation via the AHV (Old-Age and Survivors Insurance)
It is assumed that the loss of tax receipts due to the tax reform will amount to CHF2b (in a static view). This shortfall will be compensated through the AHV: (i) 0.3% increase in salary contributions (employers and employees one half each); (ii) allocation of the federal share of the demographic percentage of value added tax to the AHV; (iii) increase in the federal contribution to the AHV from currently 19.55% to 20.2%.
Reduction of cantonal profit tax rates
The reduction of cantonal profit tax rates is not directly covered by TRAF but is necessary to remain attractive from a tax perspective for former tax privileged companies and thus a key part of the proposed tax reform. The increase of the canton's share of the federal direct tax from 17% to 21.2% enables the cantons to reduce their tax rates.
Based on official announcements made by the cantonal governments, it is expected that the majority of the Swiss cantons will provide attractive tax rates on pre-tax income between 12% and 14% (including federal tax).
The tax reform measures will enter into force as of 1 January 2020. The tax reform achieves its main goal of retaining Switzerland's international attractiveness while having an internationally accepted tax system. The tight time frame requires prompt planning from taxpayers regarding the transition to the new regulations.
The reform represents the greatest change in the Swiss corporate tax system in decades and affects essentially all enterprises in Switzerland. Analysis has to be undertaken within the next few months to properly adjust to the new tax landscape and to avoid a competitive disadvantage.
