The Turn of the Key (Kobo eBook)
By Ruth Ware
INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER
From the #1 New York Times bestselling author of In a Dark, Dark Wood, The Woman in Cabin 10, The Lying Game, and The Death of Mrs. Westaway comes Ruth Ware's highly anticipated fifth novel.
When she stumbles across the ad, she's looking for something else completely. But it seems like too good an opportunity to miss—a live-in nannying post, with a staggeringly generous salary. And when Rowan Caine arrives at Heatherbrae House, she is smitten—by the luxurious "smart" home fitted out with all modern conveniences, by the beautiful Scottish Highlands, and by this picture-perfect family.
What she doesn't know is that she's stepping into a nightmare—one that will end with a child dead and herself in prison awaiting trial for murder.
Writing to her lawyer from prison, she struggles to explain the unravelling events that led to her incarceration. It wasn't just the constant surveillance from the cameras installed around the house, or the malfunctioning technology that woke the household with booming music, or turned the lights off at the worst possible time. It wasn't just the girls, who turned out to be a far cry from the immaculately behaved model children she met at her interview. It wasn't even the way she was left alone for weeks at a time, with no adults around apart from the enigmatic handyman, Jack Grant.
It was everything.
She knows she's made mistakes. She admits that she lied to obtain the post, and that her behavior toward the children wasn't always ideal. She's not innocent, by any means. But, she maintains, she's not guilty—at least not of murder. Which means someone else is.
Full of spellbinding menace and told in Ruth Ware's signature suspenseful style, The Turn of the Key is an unputdownable thriller from the Agatha Christie of our time.

Q: How Do I Work Out Tax On Company Profits?
how do I account for paying corporate tax – I see VAT and P30 but not tax that we need to pay based on a small profit we made last year.
Two thing for you here.
1) To record it you'll need to enter it as a manual journal entry (My Company > Manual Journal Entries), we don't have a workflow for corporation tax. If your not familiar with journal entries then it's best to get an accountant to do it. We can recommend a tax accountant if you like.
2) To calculate it, you'll need an accountant to do that.

← The Best Hash Brown Casserole Ever!
Combining bananas, walnuts, raisins and throwing in a little cinnamon with vanilla is sheer perfection. And what makes these little bundles of flavor even better is they freeze well. So you know what that means enjoyment every morning without cooking and cleaning. You could not ask for anything any better, except maybe winning the lottery. Enjoy your win for today!
Soak for 6 minutes 1 cup bran buds in 1 cup of very warm buttermilk.
Mix 1/2 cup sugar and 1/2 cup brown sugar.
Puree 2 large bananas that will equal 1 cup puree.
Measure 1/2 cup oil, add 1 large egg, and 2 teaspoons vanilla.
Measure 1 1/2 cups of flour and add 2 1/2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon soda, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon.
Measure 1 cup raisins and 1 cup chopped walnuts.
Line muffins pans with paper liners.
Heat buttermilk in the microwave for about 40 seconds. The time will vary depending on the temperature of the buttermilk. It may separate, but will work fine.
Place bran buds in a large bowl stir in warm milk. Let it stand about 6 minutes.
Mix sugars together in a small bowl.
Sift together flour, salt, baking powder, baking soda, and cinnamon.
After about 6 minutes add pureed bananas to bran cereal and buttermilk.
Add the two sugars along with the egg, oil, and vanilla. Blend well.
Gently mix in flour mixture being careful not to overmix.
Fold in raisins and walnuts.
These freeze well if you have any left over!
These look yummy! And you are right about frozen bananas. I freeze them to use in smoothies, and they are great!
Wanda, I never knew this trick for saving overripe bananas! I will freeze the next bunch that ripens in the bowl and will make this recipe for sure. Thanks.
I will definitely try this! And for sure will use the frozen banana trick. I bet they would be good in a smoothie too!
Great recipe! It even pleased the particular ten year old in my family! You can cut the sugar down to just a half cup, and it's still delicious. Another tip: I didn't have buttermilk, so I whisked together about a half cup of Greek yogurt, maybe a bit more, and enough regular milk to make a cup total.

Furnace re-liner ignored vibration and silicosis risks
Open-access content Friday 23rd November 2018
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) launched an investigation after Calderys UK reported in early 2017 that two employees had contracted HAVS at its Leeds production plant.
It found that since 2006 there had been no control measures in place to reduce workers' exposure to vibration when using pneumatic tools. In addition, a health surveillance programme was not in place to help them identify the first symptoms of HAVS.
The investigation also revealed that, between April 2004 and December 2017, Calderys had failed to limit respirable crystalline silica (RCS) exposure for employees tasked with stripping and replacing furnace linings.
Calderys pleaded guilty to breaching regs 6(1) and 7(1) of the Control of Vibration at Work Regulations, and regs 7(1) and 11(1) of the Control of Substances Hazardous to Health Regulation. It was fined £60,000 and ordered to pay £4,864 at Leeds Magistrates Court.
Calderys "has a strong commitment to workplace health because our employees are potentially exposed to mineral dust, noise and vibrations", according to its website. "We have implemented a number of health programs, both on production sites and offices, aiming to improve the overall wellness of our employees and their families."
The company closed its factory in Leeds in October 2015. In 2016 it reported turnover of £6.4m, down from £10m the previous year.
HSE inspector Julian Franklin said: "Exposure to silica can cause silicosis, leading to impaired lung function, lung cancer and death. It can also lead to chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD)."

Denver, CO – P2Binvestor (P2Bi) announced that cofounder Bruce Morgan stepped down as CEO at the Denver-based financial technology company to take the position of executive vice chairman on its board. Cofounder and former President G. Krista Morgan was elected by the P2Bi Board of Directors to become the next CEO effective January 5, 2015. The father-daughter team cofounded P2Bi in 2012, developed a crowdfunding platform to deliver working capital to growing businesses, and started lending in early 2014.
By combining technology with crowdsourcing, P2Bi simplifies lending and provides efficient and competitively priced growth capital to small and midsize businesses. The company offers receivables financing, an asset-backed line of credit, working capital secured by contractual future revenue (designed especially for SaaS companies), and purchase order financing.
P2Bi has the capacity to consider multi-million dollar credit lines and lends to U.S. companies in various industries including technology, energy, personnel services, natural foods and beverages, manufacturing, and more. P2Bi's investor crowd is limited to accredited investor participation. Learn more at P2Bi.com.
Krista is a proven executive in alternative finance while also being one of the youngest women in a leadership position in the industry. She left an agency career in digital marketing in London to cofound P2Bi in Colorado in 2012. Since signing the company's first client in May 2014, she has grown P2Bi's commercial loan portfolio to $12.5 million, representing 30% month-over-month growth. P2Bi uses invoices to secure most credit lines and in just seven months' time purchased more than $37 million in invoices.
Krista was a key driver in establishing P2Bi's customer-friendly policies, such as eliminating monthly minimums, minimizing transaction costs for clients, and implementing daily clearing of client accounts to improve their cash flow. She also created a rate-guarantee policy that allows clients to cancel their contracts with P2Bi without penalty if they find less-expensive financing. Krista felt policies like the rate guarantee would make it easier for P2Bi to build mutually beneficial alignment with its banking partners while meeting the needs of its fast-growing business clients.
Under Krista's operational leadership, P2Bi transformed from a startup into a revenue-producing player in the alternative-lending and crowdfunding industries. With news of the recent Lending Club IPO, P2Bi is attracting more interest from businesses, investors, and others in the industry.
As executive vice chairman, outgoing CEO Bruce Morgan will remain an active part of the management team and will be responsible for managing relationships with fund managers and leading the company's credit underwriting function.

This library gathers the latest thinking and analysis related to resilience policy, science, strategy, management, implementation, and the range of threats faced by communities around the world in order to help inform and educate students, practitioners, and policymakers.
GRI's Resource Library is grouped into five categories: 'Affiliate' contains publications published by our Faculty Affiliates; 'GRI Publications' contains our published reports; 'Partner Publications' can include works published by organizations, institutes, companies and universities with whom we collaborate; and 'Seed Grant Publications' are works authored by Northeastern faculty who have been awarded a GRI seed grant.
Although natural and man-made disruptions often cascade across multiple infrastructure sectors – and these sectors are inherently interdependent – for ease of navigation this library is divided into 15 of the most critical sectors dealt with by resilience researchers, practitioners and policymakers on a daily basis. Based on the material's scope, some items may be categorized under multiple sectors.
This collection is not exhaustive and is being continually expanded to include information on developing global and domestic security challenges and the latest research on the political, economic and scientific landscape in which 21st century challenges and solutions develop and evolve.
Additions, suggestions, or questions can be sent to globalresilienceinstitute@northeastern.edu.

The Pretenders Ender
April 18, 2018 | 12 Comments
Who is X? Read at your own risk to discover the truth…
Actually, there's no risk of spoilers because I never published the ending of this series and I never will. I know, it's unthinkable. It's also not my fault. My 2014 series Pretenders was supposed to be four books. I wrote and released two. As I was outlining the third I got the dreaded call. My editor was leaving my publisher to start her own imprint. There was more to the conversation but my ears were ringing so loudly I couldn't hear it. The bottom line: The series was over. I fought for a chance to write the conclusion but was shut down. My agent didn't think it was a big deal. He didn't think anyone would care. I did. Guess who was right. Over the years I've answered countless messages from unsatisfied readers by promising to reveal the mysterious identity of X. This is me delivering on that promise.
First a quick premise recap:
Nominated by the students and faculty, the Phoenix Five are Noble High Schools' best-at-everything freshmen – or are they? One of the five students broke into the safe in the teachers' lounge, stole all of the Phoenix Five students' private journals, and then published them in a book. The Phoenix Five return to Noble High as sophomores, excited about new clothes and high goals, to discover that their secrets are out, and their private journals exposed; now everyone will know the five of them are pretenders. The five students are, for all appearances, normal with a twist: Jagger's parents are in jail, so he lives in the back room of a pet store; Lily has been homeschooled all her life and doesn't want anything normal ever again; Sheridan is beautiful but channels celebrities because she has no confidence; Duffy is a jock who will do anything to make the varsity basketball team, and Vanessa is an overachiever striving for perfection while trying to keep her family together. As the lives of the Phoenix Five intersect and interweave, each character creates his/her own view of their interactions – and the possible answer to the question on everyone's mind – who stole the journals and WHY? The ramifications of all the illegal activities, lies, crushes, friendships, and honest feelings – that remains to be seen.
By the end of book two, the character's lives were pretty messed up.
Vanessa: Hacked into the school's computers and changed her grades. She also improved Lily's grades and Lily has no idea.
Lily: Bad grades are important now that she's speaking out about the pressure student face. How will it look when she gets people to underachieve and she has straight As?
Duffy: He's finally paid off his debt to Anton and can enjoy all the attention he's getting from the girls. He's such a ladies man that he's a legend to the guys on his basketball team. What he doesn't know is that those "girls" were hired by Anton to help him sell clothes and cologne. But he'll find out soon enough. And it won't be pretty.
Sheridan: Publically embarrassed when her dress splits during a school performance. Can you say fat shamed?
Jagger: After lying to everyone about having no parents and living off the streets, he catches his rich father having an affair with his girlfriend's mother.
Book 3 was going to be called Fake It To The Limit and the above stories would continue to unfold. The question was, which story would lead a character to a place where exposing these journals made sense? To be honest, I had no idea who it was going to be when I wrote the first two. It was only after I outlined the third that it became clear.
Who would you choose and why? Post your ideas in the comments section and I'll reveal the answer, along with the playlists I made for each character, next Wednesday.
xoxo Lisi

I think it's Jagger because what does he really have to hide anyway and who cares if they find out he was lying he was writing embarrassing things in his journal now was he but then again it could be Lily and because what does she have to hide except the fact that she was taking Duffy's stuff and hide them in her closet and Vanessa would do that to her family and her grades and Duffy's doesn't want anyone to find out that his family has gone bankrupt and Sheridan well I think it could be her because she also has nothing to hide and well she is just self-conscious so out of all five of them it could be Lily Bader-Huffman, Sheridan Spencer and Jagger
Aww I've recently just read both the books and it's so intriguing and now I'm really desperate to know what's gonna happen next. And yes I agree that he was wrong and you were right cause leaving readers hooked up isn't very healthy for us it it?! Honestly I think it could be anyone of them but maybe yea Lily or Vanessa probably for me…xxx
I'm so sad to hear we won't get the other two books in the future but thank you for these blog posts! i can't wait until next wednesday 🙂

Moon Stream at AnimeNEXT 2013
ali August 5, 2013
Featured Articles0 Comments 0
It may have been raining outside in Somerset, New Jersey on June 7t, but inside the crowd couldnt have been more energized as vocalist Satsuki once again took the stage at AnimeNEXT — this time with his new band Moon Stream.
Satsuki previously preformed at AnimeNEXT in 2008 with his former band Rentrer en Soi, as well as making an appearance as a guest at the convention in 2012. This time, he appeared as the vocalist of Moon Stream, a new musical unit, combining forces with guitarist Tomo (echostream). Moon Stream merges the talents of both musicians, producing an elegant yet hard rock sound.
The band wasted no time in riling the audience up. Attached to the stage was a short runway which Satsuki and Tomo both took advantage of, visiting it frequently to interact with the audience. Having no permanent bassist or drummer, Moon Stream had bassist Poel and drummer Takaya (ex. Romance for~) perform with them. Although only support members, they're skill and cooperation created a harmonious stage presence, completing the band.
The audience was entranced as Satsuki spent about half of the duration of the show out on the runway, directly in front of and above the audience. Satsuki gave all his MCs in English, helping him connect with the audience. His English has dramatically improved within the past few years, compared to when he was in the States with Rentrer en Soi.
He maintained a good attitude about the language barrier: When he asked everyone to shout, and the audience did not understand him, he imitated the crowd in a high pitch voice, saying, "We love you Satsuki," bringing a laugh to both performers and audience.
Satsuki, Tomo and Poel all constantly moved around the stage, giving each person a chance to see them up close. The band members teased the audience with fan service, with Satsuki hugging and then acting as if he was about to kiss Tomo before pulling away — the screams only encouraging them on further. Tomo and Poel would often play side by side on the main stage, even plucking the strings on each other's instruments. Takaya wasn't left out either, as Poel would frequently play near the drums.
For the song "Afterglow" Satsuki asked, "Will you dance with me?" and taught the audience the furi to go along with the song so that the crowd could dance with the gestures that the as Japanese audiences typically do.
As Satsuki announced, "This next song is the last song," and the audience groaned. He laughed and replied, "So sad!"
The band primarily performed songs published under Satsuki's solo name, however, AnimeNEXT was in for a real treat — Moon Stream debuted one of their own songs, titled "D/E" (D slash E). Satsuki announced, "This is the first time we play this new song. So headbanging and rawr rawr is ok! Ready?" While most of Satsuki's songs are in Japanese, D/E is in English, and headbanging and screaming did in fact occur throughout the song.
The band couldn't leave the stage without throwing guitar picks, water bottles, flowers scattered around the stage and even the tour shirts off their very own backs into the audience. Satsuki threw his shirt first towards the end of the song, showing off his multiple tattoos, and the other three followed after they finished playing. The guys lingered on stage, smiles plastered to their faces before they finally had to depart.
It appears Satsuki is targeting a more global audience post-Rentrer en Soi, playing solo and with Moon Stream in various American and European cities. Future stops include Los Angeles, Atlanta, Montreal, Oklahoma City and Paris. Moon Stream may be a newer band, but it's evident the musicians certainly aren't new to this scene. AnimeNEXT attendees were happy to welcome back Satsuki and many more hope Moon Stream will return to the area again.

Q: Debugging a Dynamics CRM Plug-in I'm having trouble debugging a Dynamics CRM Online (2015) plug-in (C#). I'm following the instructions on this MSDN article to attach to a process. In the Attach To Process window, I select "Show processes from all users" and refresh. However, I don't see any of the four service processes listed (I think the plug-in type is "online" in my case).

*

*w3wp.exe (while having the CRM Online instance open in IE)

*Microsoft.Crm.Application.Hoster.exe

*CrmAsyncService.exe

*Microsoft.Crm.Sandbox.WorkerProcess.exe

I've already deployed and registered the plugin using the plugin registration tool. I've never done this before so I may be going about it the wrong way. Any ideas?

A: Per the link you referenced, if you are working with Dynamics CRM Online you cannot attach to any of the CRM processes, since they are not running locally.
The first paragraph states (emphasis added by me):

The following steps describe how to debug a plug-in executing on
  Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2015 on-premises. To debug a plug-in that
  executes in the sandbox on Microsoft Dynamics CRM Online, you must
  using [sic] tracing as described later in this topic.

You will need to use the Plugin Profiler to Debug plugins executing in CRM Online.
From Analyze plug-in performance:

*

*Run the Plug-in Registration tool. You can find the tool's executable file in the Tools\PluginRegistration folder of the SDK.
  Download the Microsoft Dynamics CRM SDK package.

*Click or tap CREATE NEW CONNECTION to connect to a Microsoft Dynamics CRM server and organization. For more information on
  connecting to a server and organization, refer to the SDK topic:
  Walkthrough: Register a plug-in using the plug-in registration
  tool.

*Register a plug-in and step on the Microsoft Dynamics CRM server. Keep a copy of the debug compiled plug-in assembly on the computer
  where you are running the tool.

*In the toolbar for the target organization, select Install Profiler. You will now see a Plug-in Profiler node in the list.

*Select a plug-in step and click Start Profiling in the toolbar to begin profiling. You can choose how the profiler executes in the
  displayed Profiler Settings dialog.

*Perform the operation in Microsoft Dynamics CRM that causes the plug-in to run. For example, if the step is configured for an update
  to an account, then update an account.

*If you have selected the Exception option in the Profiler Settings dialog, after the plug-in throws an exception and the Business Process
  Error dialog is displayed, click Download Log File and save this file.
  Alternately, if the plug-in does not throw an exception, click Stop
  Profiling.

*In the Plug-in Registration tool, click Debug.

*In the Debug an Existing Plug-in dialog box, provide the requested information in the Setup tab. Enter the location of the previously
  saved log file in the Profile field. Enter or choose the location of
  the plug-in assembly and the class name of the plug-in that was
  executed.

*Launch Microsoft Visual Studio and attach the debugger to the PluginRegistration.exe process.

*Set a breakpoint in the plug-in code.

*Click Start Execution in the Debug an Existing Plug-in dialog box.

*After a slight delay, the plug-in will execute using the same execution context that was passed to it by the Microsoft Dynamics CRM
  server and the debugger will stop execution on the breakpoint that you
  previously set.

*Continue debugging the plug-in as you would normally do. Any traces that the plug-in outputs are shown in the Debug an Existing Plug-in
  dialog box.

  At this point you can alter the plug-in code, build it, re-attach the
  debugger to the PluginRegistration.exe process, and click Start
  Execution to continue with your debugging session. While performing
  these operations, you do not need to close the Debug an Existing
  Plug-in form.
You do not need to re-deploy the plug-in to the Microsoft Dynamics CRM
  server until after you have fixed the code problem. This debugging
  scenario works even if you have an optimized version of the plug-in on
  the server and a debug version of the plug-in on the computer where
  you are debugging.


Before a few months, I was working on some mysterious issue regarding some SQL statements, it was something like this.
Ok for those 11223 records the condition_a was true, from the second statement I could tell that condition_b was false, so NOT condition_b should be true, but it was also false from the third statement.
After breaking up the two conditions, I found that I was comparing one of the values in condition_b with NULL, so in BOTH cases the result would be FALSE (or actually UNKNOWN which is casted to NULL), I've always assumed that NULL would be casted to 0, but the fact that it's not.
So this was just a thing that you might want to take care of when you write your SQL statements.

Q: jenkins build latest pushed tag from a specific release branch I'm looking to trigger an automatic build of my multi-branch pipeline whenever a new tag gets pushed to the origin. Right now I'm using release/* wildcard to build the release branches.
I'm currently following the git-flow branching strategy where I have multiple release branches for QA environment but I want to use a tag based deployment approach to cater to multiple code revisions/fixes in the same release branch. So, let's say if I have a tag v1.0.0-rc1 in the release/v1.0.0 branch and I push it to origin, then the pipeline should trigger automatically and the jenkinsfile should only execute the stages/steps based on the suffix of the tag, i.e *-rc* and checkout/build the code only upto that tag's hash/commit.
Now after doing bug fixing the same release/v1.0.0 branch and creating and pushing a new tag v1.0.0-rc2, jenkins should only build the code upto that tag.

Les Portes de la création (titre original : Gates of creation) est un roman de Philip José Farmer. C'est le deuxième volume de la Saga des Hommes-Dieux, publié aux États-Unis en 1966 puis en France en 1970.

Résumé
Après avoir compris qu'il est Jadawin, Robert Wolff découvre l'étendue de ses pouvoirs. Il est piégé par un membre de sa famille sur un monde chaotique en compagnie de nombre de ses frères et sœurs. Jadawin a changé. Il n'est plus le Seigneur vindicatif qu'il était avant de perdre sa mémoire et de devenir Robert Wolff.

La Saga des Hommes-Dieux permet à Philip José Farmer de développer le concept des univers adjacents, dans lequel notre monde et beaucoup d'autres ne sont que des « bulles » de cosmos imbriquées les unes dans les autres.

Maennerchor looks to expand
GARY SEMAN JR. THISWEEKNEWS.COM @ThisWeekGary
Jan 29, 2018 at 6:05 PM Jan 29, 2018 at 7:51 PM
With a recent legal victory under its belt, the Columbus Maennerchor is looking down the road by looking a little north up High Street.
Officials of the German singing society, which recently was on the winning end of a 10-year-old lawsuit, said they want to expand by adding roughly 2,000 square feet adjacent to the German Heritage House, formerly called the Dutch House, which it now calls home.
That proposal is partly the result of a recent decision by the Ohio Supreme Court, which essentially upheld a jury's earlier decision to award the Maennerchor $756,000 in punitive damages and $225,000 for attorney fees.
Werner Niehaus, president of the Maennerchor, said the money will be used to pay off outstanding debt.
"What I say in general is we will be debt free with a small amount left over," he said.
The Maennerchor would like to buy back a portion of its old headquarters, 966 S. High St., adjacent to the Heritage House. It would be part of an overall plan to redevelopment the vacant Maennerchor site.
Galbreath Properties of Dublin wants to build a new 3 1/2-story, 18-unit residential development on the Brewery District property.
Maennerchor officials said they hope to construct an addition to their building on the sliver of land between the proposed condos and Heritage House to be used for a larger rehearsal space, and storage for the music library and historical documents, Niehaus said.
Still in the planning phase, the development would open up the opportunity for the Maennerchor's expansion, which is necessary to accommodate the club's growth, said Harry Woith, membership secretary for the organization.
"We have a problem. We've outgrown this space," Woith said. "That's a good problem."
The Maennerchor has 136 social members and 90 members in its singing groups -- roughly 30 each men, women and children.
"The growing itself is really in the choirs," Niehaus said. "And we get young people in and that is the most important issue."
Shortly after moving into its new space, the Maennerchor hired Valter Veliu to lease a restaurant -- called Valter's at Maennerchor -- inside the Heritage House. Membership is not required to dine at the restaurant, which has introduced the singing groups to a wider audience.
"When we sing Tuesday nights, people can see what we do," Niehaus said.
The lawsuit resulted when former Maennerchor board member and real-estate developer Walter Reiner was trying to purchase the Maennerchor building for half of what another company was willing to pay, and the deal fell through.
The Maennerchor's leadership argued that Reiner's "... continued and consistent interference ..." cost them the sale, which led to a lawsuit.
A jury subsequently awarded the Maennerchor $756,000 in punitive damages and $225,000 for attorney fees.
On Dec. 16, the state Supreme Court refused to hear an appeal of the jury's decision -- also upheld by a previous appellate court ruling -- essentially ending the dispute.

Aben Resources to Begin Forrest Kerr Drill Program in BC's Golden Triangle Region
Vancouver, BC -- Aben Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: ABN) (OTC PINK: ABNAF) (Frankfurt: E2L2) (the "Company") is pleased to announce plans for the upcoming summer drill program at the Forrest Kerr Gold Property located in Northwestern British Columbia's Golden Triangle region. The Company is planning a 5000 metre diamond drill program commencing in mid-June.
The initial focus for the drill program will be to expand the high-grade precious metal mineralization discovered in 2017 at the Boundary North Zone, located near the center of the Forrest Kerr Property. Three separate drill holes, collared from the same drill pad, pierced a near-surface high-grade zone of gold-silver-copper mineralization, in addition to broad intercepts containing gold bearing quartz veins. Select results from those holes include 6.7 grams per tonne (g/T) Au, 6.4 g/T Ag and 0.9% Cu over 10 metres, including 18.9 g/T Au, 16.6 g/T Ag and 2.2% Cu over 3.0 metres in hole FK17-04 which contributed to an average grade of 0.26 g/T Au over 387 metres. Hole FK17-05 returned 21.5 g/T Au, 28.5 g/T Ag and 3.1% Cu over 6 metres from the same zone at a slightly greater depth.
The Company believes the 2017 discovery demonstrates that the Boundary Zone has additional discovery potential for significant precious metal mineralization. This area of the Forrest Kerr Property hosts gold-silver-copper in rock and soil anomalies that span in excess of 2 km by 4km and remain relatively under-explored.
The Company's President and CEO, Jim Pettit, stated: "Notable regionaldiscoveries by Pretium, GT Gold, Garibaldi Resources and others have illustrated the significant discovery upside remaining in the district and we are confident in the potential at Forrest Kerr given the newly discovered and historic high grade mineralization there as well as the numerous untested gold-in-soil anomalies present". Aben currently owns certain mineral tenures outright and has agreements in place with various third-parties whereby it has the exclusive right to a 100% interest in the 23,000 hectare property area.

How to Identify the Constellation of Cygnus in the Night Sky
By: Dr. Bryan Katz
Dr. Bryan Katz's image for:
"How to Identify the Constellation of Cygnus in the Night Sky"
The constellation Cygnus, the Swan, is located in the northern sky between the constellations Lyra (the Harp), Draco (the Dragon), Cepheus (the King), Lacerta (the Lizard), and Vulpecula (the Little Fox). Cygnus is one of the few constellations that bears some resemblance to its name. Its brightest stars form an asterism, or pattern, better known as the Northern Cross. In Greek mythology, Cygnus corresponds to the swan in the story of Zeus and Leda, in which Zeus disguised himself as a swan, seduced the queen, and became the father of Pollux and Helen of Troy.
This article will discuss the easiest ways for sky watchers to find Cygnus then explore some of the stars and deep sky objects located in this constellation.
When and Where to Look
Cygnus is visible at some time of night nearly all year long to observers in the Northern Hemisphere. Cygnus rises in the northeast after midnight during spring. It can be seen overhead during the summer months in the early evening and in the northwestern sky throughout autumn. By late December, Cygnus sets a couple of hours after sunset. For most of winter, Cygnus can be seen shortly before sunrise then after midnight by early spring.
Two of the most noticeable stars in Cygnus are Deneb and Albireo. Deneb, which means tail in Arabic, is a blue supergiant star that marks the tail of the swan or upright of the Northern Cross. Deneb is the only first magnitude star in Cygnus, and is 19th among the 20 brightest stars visible in the night sky. In terms of absolute brightness, however, Deneb is one of the brightest stars in our galaxy, shining over 60,000 times brighter than our sun. Deneb is so massive that it radiates as much light in a single day as our sun does in a century.
The reason Deneb does not appear brighter is due to its immense distance from Earth, estimated at 1,600 light years. A light year is the distance light travels in one year, or approximately 5.8 trillion miles. In other words, Deneb is so far away that the light reaching your eyes left the star not long after the Visigoths sacked Rome in the year 410 AD.
Albireo, meaning the hen's beak, marks the head of the swan or base of the Northern Cross. To the naked eye, Albireo is a third magnitude star, somewhat dimmer than the three stars marking the Swan's body. A small telescope reveals Albireo to be a blue and gold double star. Astronomers estimate these two stars to be 380 light years from Earth. Albireo is a physical double, meaning its component stars are locked into orbit around each other by mutual gravitational attraction.
Several deep sky objects in Cygnus are visible through a telescope. They include the Veil Nebula, a supernova remnant; three emission nebulae, the Crescent Nebula, North America Nebula, and Pelican Nebula; as well as the Messier objects M29 and M39, both of which are open star clusters. The Milky Way runs directly through Cygnus and is easily visible through binoculars or a small telescope.

Credit: Photo courtesy Ross WellsFrank and Karen Gallant wanted to live close to their son and his family — but not under the same roof.
First there were in-law apartments. Then came "Granny pods" — backyard structures tricked out with medical devices for frail elders who might otherwise be in a nursing home. Now, boomers have more attractive living options for sharing households, whether it's to provide housing for their parents or to move in with their grown children and grandkids.
The idea of multigenerational housing is as old as humanity. But mostly that has entailed sharing the same living space. According to W. Andrew Achenbaum, professor of social work at University of Houston and a historian of aging, one of the earliest examples of families living in separate spaces on the same property is the "dowager house" in England, where the widow of the estate owner would move into a smaller abode on the grounds.
"This allows for independence without sacrificing intergenerational family involvement," wrote John A. Hostetler in his book Amish Society.
A similar impulse, along with Western cultural preferences for privacy, led many families in the 20th century to add an in-law apartment or "granny flat" (usually in the basement or atop the garage) or to share a duplex. That trend continues.
According to a 2010 Pew Research report, 20 percent of people 65 and older live in a multigenerational household, and the numbers are growing.
Valerie Dolenga, spokesperson for the Atlanta-based Pulte Group homebuilder, says a company survey of adults with living parents found that 15 percent already have an aging family member living with them and 32 percent expect to eventually share a home with a parent.
In response, major developers are getting into the multigenerational act.
Pulte is building homes with more flexible spaces that can be converted as family needs change. "In Florida, we offer the Grand Retreat option — a living room/bedroom addition above the garage," said Dolenga in an email. "In the Greater Chicago area, we offer a first floor in-law suite option that converts the den into a bedroom with a full bath." Lennar, a Miami-based developer, offers a line of homes with "NextGen" suites that include a private entrance, living room, eat-in kitchenette, bedroom and bath.
A new generation of architects is also designing backyard cottages that are aesthetically pleasing and environmentally friendly — although often pricey.
In Mountain View, Calif., Rosan Gomperts and Kim Gaumer invited Gomperts' parents to move in with them when the elder Gomperts were unable to continue living on their own in their large home in Richmond, Va. Noting that her parents had lived near Mountain View before, Gomperts says, "It made sense for them to come here. They're very familiar with it and they had a lot of friends." Had they not come, the choice would have been assisted living, which her mother "flatly refused" to consider.
With two teenagers and three dogs, though, Gomperts and Gaumer didn't have room in their house. The solution: build a cottage in the backyard, custom designed for the parents.
"I'm very happy with the space," says Robert Gomperts, 92, "in part when considering the alternative, which is living with a bunch of old people. We find it very engaging to live among younger people, including our grandchildren." The move also allowed them to keep their large dog.
The cottage was designed by Carrie Shores, principal in Larson Shores, an architectural firm in Oakland, Calif. Shores says she and her business partner initially began looking into multigenerational housing as a way for young families to break into the exorbitant real estate market in the Bay Area.
She came up with a design that is attractive, safe and environmentally friendly. The 500-square-foot cottage includes a living-dining area with an induction cooktop and an in-drawer microwave; a bath with a zero-threshold, wheelchair-accessible shower and one bedroom. The cottage is energy efficient with lots of natural light. Windows overlook the flower garden and private patio.
Shores even factored in the dimensions of the couple's favorite artwork and planned the wall space accordingly. "When you're downsizing, you want to keep things that are meaningful to you," she says.
The cost of the cottage, which the senior Gomperts bore, was $175,000.
Although the price tag is high considering the structure's tiny size, Emory Baldwin, principal architect with Seattle-based FabCab, says if, like the Gomperts, the alternative is assisted living at $6,000 a month, then the cost of such dwellings isn't so bad. It also adds long-term value to the home. FabCab has a new line of $200,000 ModCabs, as small as 800-square-feet, designed to be backyard living structures.
"We're thinking of all ages," says Baldwin, including boomers who want to share a household with either aging parents or adult children. A cottage could also be used as separate space for grandparents whose home is elsewhere but who enjoy coming for long visits. "Others could use them as rental units for extra income. Some people are doing it just as a way to have a starter house, and as family size increases they can take over the main house," he adds.
So far, FabCab's products have only been bought as vacation cottages — not as "accessory dwelling units" (ADUs) for multigenerational living. But Baldwin is confident that ADUs will be in demand, based on the aging population.
Although some jurisdictions, such as Portland, Ore., welcome ADUs as a way to increase the affordable housing stock, many local zoning laws prohibit them. When they are allowed, the size and style of ADUs are typically strictly regulated.
Families are coming up with other creative ways to be close — but not under the same roof.
For instance, two generations of the Gallant family bought a two-acre plot of land and small house in Soquel, Calif. The senior Gallants, Frank and Karen, in their 60s, built a new, small energy-efficient home for themselves, adjacent to the existing house, where their son, daughter-in-law and grandson live. With the adult children in busy careers and another baby on the way, the senior Gallants devote considerable time to babysitting, gardening and other chores.

CORPORATIONS & SHAREHOLDERS
IRS Releases Final Schedule UTP, Incorporates Changes
In two announcements on September 24, the IRS unveiled a number of significant changes to its plan to require certain business taxpayers to report uncertain tax positions on their tax returns (Announcements 2010-75 and 2010-76). The changes come in response to numerous comments received on the proposal and on the draft form (Schedule UTP) and instructions, which were released in April. Along with the announcements, the IRS released a final Schedule UTP, Uncertain Tax Position Statement, and instructions.
As originally proposed (Announcement 2010-9), the schedule would require:
(1) A concise description of each uncertain tax position for which the taxpayer or a related entity has recorded a reserve in its financial statements, and
(2) The maximum amount of potential federal tax liability attributable to each uncertain tax position (determined without regard to the taxpayer's risk analysis regarding its likelihood of prevailing on the merits).
According to the IRS, many commentators expressed concerns about how the IRS would use the reported information, about how the new reporting requirement would affect the IRS' existing policy of restraint, about the reporting requirement's burden on affected corporations, and about how the reporting requirement would affect the relationship between corporations and the IRS or between corporations and their advisers or independent auditors. Some commentators questioned the IRS' authority to require reporting of uncertain tax positions with the corporation's tax return.
The AICPA previously raised numerous concerns and made many specific recommendations regarding the IRS's original proposal in a comment letter on June 1, 2010. The AICPA urged the IRS to improve the use and management of the significant amount of disclosed information it already possesses. If the IRS went forward with the proposal, the AICPA recommended that the filing threshold be significantly elevated in order to exempt many small businesses. The AICPA also recommended that the IRS pilot the proposed uncertain tax position program and reserve judgment about its expansion until it could evaluate the consequences.
The major changes the IRS made in response to the comments received from the AICPA and others were:
A five-year phase-in of the reporting requirement based on a corporation's asset size;
No reporting of a maximum tax adjustment;
No reporting of the rationale and nature of uncertainty in the concise description of the position; and
No reporting of administrative practice tax positions.
The IRS also made numerous other changes and clarifications.
The draft release of Schedule UTP narrowed the initial filing requirement to corporations that issued audited financial statements and file Form 1120, U.S. Corporation Income Tax Return; Form 1120-F, U.S. Income Tax Return of a Foreign Corporation; Form 1120-L, U.S. Life Insurance Company Income Tax Return; or Form 1120-PC, U.S. Property and Casualty Insurance Company Income Tax Return.
Five-Year Phase-In
In Announcement 2010-75, the IRS retains the filing requirement for taxpayers required to file the previously identified list of federal tax forms, but institutes a five-year phase-in of the requirement for corporations with assets under $100 million. Corporations with total assets of $100 million or more must file Schedule UTP starting with 2010 tax years. Starting with 2012 tax years, the total asset threshold will be reduced to $50 million. Starting with 2014 tax years, it will be reduced to $10 million.
The IRS stated that it will consider whether to extend the Schedule UTP reporting requirement to other taxpayers—such as passthrough entities or tax-exempt organizations—for 2011 or later tax years.
No Reporting of a Maximum Tax Adjustment
The draft schedule and instructions proposed that the corporation report a maximum tax adjustment for each tax position listed on the schedule, other than transfer pricing and other valuation positions. Many commentators expressed concern that computing the maximum tax adjustment for each uncertain tax position would be unduly burdensome, would provide the IRS with misleading information about the riskiness of the position and its magnitude, or would not provide a meaningful basis for determining the issues or returns to examine.
Based on the commentary, the IRS removed the proposed requirement to report the maximum tax adjustment. Instead, corporations will be required to rank their reported tax positions (including transfer pricing and other valuation positions) based on the federal income tax reserve (including interest and penalties) recorded for the position taken in the return, and to designate those tax positions for which the reserve exceeds 10% of the aggregate amount of the reserves for all of the tax positions reported on the schedule.
The IRS expects that this ranking method will allow it to more accurately evaluate the materiality of the issues reported on the schedule and that the ranking method will impose less burden on corporations. This method relies on the reserve computations that corporations perform for audited financial statement purposes, but does not require disclosure of the actual amounts of the tax reserves.
No Reporting of the Rationale and Nature of Uncertainty
Commentators also expressed concern about the requirement that the rationale for an uncertain tax position, as well the nature of the uncertainty, be disclosed as part of the concise description. They noted that these disclosures are not required by FASB Interpretation No. 48 (FIN 48), Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, and that they conflict with both the IRS's policy of restraint and its objective not to require taxpayers to disclose their assessment of their positions' strengths and weaknesses. In response to these comments, the IRS has eliminated the proposed requirement to include the rationale and nature of the uncertainty in the concise description.
No Reporting of Administrative Practice Tax Positions
The proposal also required corporations to report tax positions for which the corporation recorded no reserve because it determined that it is the IRS's administrative practice not to raise the issue during an examination. Many commentators said it would be unduly burdensome for corporations to identify, describe and quantify these positions, and would provide the IRS very little useful information. The IRS has agreed that these concerns about the administrability of the requirement outweigh the value of the information and thus eliminated the proposed requirement. However, the IRS stated it will continue to explore ways to assess the impact of these tax positions on overall tax compliance.
Consistency Between Schedule UTP Reporting and Financial Statement Reserve Decisions
Corporations filing Schedule UTP must report tax positions taken in a return for which reserves were created under applicable financial accounting standards or for which no reserve was created because of an expectation to litigate. The final instructions clarify that Schedule UTP seeks the reporting of tax positions consistent with the reserve decisions made by the corporation for audited financial statements purposes. Corporations are not required to report tax positions that are either immaterial under applicable financial accounting standards or are sufficiently certain so that no reserve is required under those standards. The IRS stated that a tax position that a corporation would litigate, if challenged, but that is clear and unambiguous or is immaterial is therefore not required to be reported on Schedule UTP.
The proposal required a corporation to report a tax position taken in a return for which no reserve was recorded based on the corporation's expectation to litigate the position. Commentators suggested eliminating this requirement, either because it would be unduly burdensome to identify, describe and quantify these positions, or because requiring reporting of these positions on Schedule UTP departs from the IRS' stated objective of consistency with financial accounting standards. However, the final schedule and instructions retain the requirement to report tax positions taken in a return for which no reserve was recorded because of an expectation to litigate the position and incorporate revised instructions to clarify the meaning of expectation to litigate. The final instructions clarify that a corporation may rely on the reserve decisions it made for financial statement purposes to complete Schedule UTP and thus the corporation is not expected to reassess at the time the schedule is completed those reserve decisions previously made for financial statement purposes. The final instructions do not provide guidance on how a corporation documents an expectation to litigate a position. However, the IRS states in Announcement 2010-75 that it expects that a corporation would continue to document its decision in the same way as it substantiates any decision not to record a reserve in its financial statements.
Other Changes and Clarifications
Schedule UTP requires the reporting of U.S. federal income tax positions but not foreign or state tax positions. Under the general reporting instructions, however, a corporation is required to report a U.S. federal income tax position taken in a return that arises out of uncertainty with regard to a foreign tax position (for example, foreign tax credits) if a reserve for U.S. federal income tax was recorded to reflect that uncertainty.
The final instructions clarify that:
A tax position is reported on Schedule UTP once (1) a reserve for a tax position is recorded and (2) a tax position is taken on a return regardless of the order in which those two events occur.
Corporations report their own tax positions on Schedule UTP and do not report the tax positions of a related party.
Tax positions taken in years before 2010 need not be reported in 2010 or a later year even if a reserve is recorded in audited financial statements issued in 2010 or later.
Schedule UTP need not be filed for short tax years ending in 2010.
Worldwide assets are used to determine whether a corporation that files a Form 1120-F (including a protective return) must file Schedule UTP.
The IRS revised the definition of audited financial statement to clarify that an audited financial statement is one on which an independent auditor expresses an opinion. Compiled or reviewed financial statements are excluded from the definition of audited financial statement.
The definition of "record a reserve" was revised to clarify that it includes the recording of a reserve for U.S. federal income tax, interest or penalties, and to reinforce that temporary differences must be reported on Schedule UTP.
For corporations included in multiple audited financial statements, the instructions clarify that recording a reserve in any audited financial statement in which the corporation is included triggers reporting of the tax position if the tax position is taken on a return filed by the reporting corporation.
The IRS has also issued a directive concerning the use of Schedule UTP by IRS personnel. The directive outlines the various uses for the information reported on the schedule and indicates that initial processing of Schedule UTP information will be centralized to ensure appropriate review to identify trends and areas requiring further guidance to address uncertainty in the law.
The final instructions do not provide specific instructions regarding penalties. The IRS stated it intends to review Schedule UTP compliance and will take appropriate enforcement action in those instances in which there appears to be a failure to complete the schedule or a failure to report whether the corporation is required to complete the schedule.
The IRS stated it recognizes that today's announcements do not address all comments or concerns that were raised, and it stated it will continue to consider these issues and how best to provide further guidance.
Policy of Restraint
In Announcement 2010-76, the IRS said that it is expanding its policy of restraint in connection with its decision to require certain corporations to file Schedule UTP and it will forgo seeking particular documents that relate to uncertain tax positions and the workpapers that document the completion of Schedule UTP. It stated that other than requiring the disclosure of the information on the schedule, the requirement to file Schedule UTP does not affect the policy of restraint.
Under the IRS's policy of restraint, if a document is otherwise privileged under the attorney-client privilege, the tax advice privilege in Sec. 7525, or the work product doctrine, and the document was provided to an independent auditor as part of an audit of the taxpayer's financial statements, the IRS will not assert during an examination that privilege has been waived by such disclosure.
In its announcement, the IRS stated that taxpayers may redact the following information from any copies of tax reconciliation workpapers relating to the preparation of Schedule UTP that they are asked to produce during an examination:
(a) Working drafts, revisions or comments concerning the concise description of tax positions reported on Schedule UTP;
(b) The amount of any reserve related to a tax position reported on Schedule UTP; and
(c) Computations determining the ranking of tax positions to be reported on Schedule UTP or the designation of a tax position as a major tax position.
AICPA Concerns
The AICPA appreciates the efforts of the IRS to revise and clarify its original proposal and to reduce the burden the disclosure of uncertain tax positions will place on taxpayers. The IRS has listened to commentators, including recommendations included in the AICPA's comment letter of June 1, 2010. This is reflected in the many changes throughout the latest IRS announcements and final 2010 Schedule UTP and instructions.
However, the AICPA is still concerned regarding:
The burden this will place on smaller taxpayers when it is fully phased-in in 2014 because the threshold was not increased;
The potential burden this may place in future years on passthrough entities and tax-exempt organizations;
Duplicative reporting and the ultimate benefit to the government of the information received.
The AICPA will continue to raise appropriate issues with the IRS on this matter and push for a study period as outlined in its initial comment letter. It will continue to communicate the concerns and advocate for its members regarding the disclosure of uncertain tax positions.

Scripps Florida Scientists Pinpoint How Genetic Mutation Causes Early Brain Damage
Complete the form below and we will email you a PDF version of "Scripps Florida Scientists Pinpoint How Genetic Mutation Causes Early Brain Damage"
Scientists from the Florida campus of The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) have shed light on how a specific kind of genetic mutation can cause damage during early brain development that results in lifelong learning and behavioral disabilities. The work suggests new possibilities for therapeutic intervention.
The study, which focuses on the role of a gene known as Syngap1, was published June 18, 2014, online ahead of print by the journal Neuron. In humans, mutations in Syngap1 are known to cause devastating forms of intellectual disability and epilepsy.
"We found a sensitive cell type that is both necessary and sufficient to account for the bulk of the behavioral problems resulting from this mutation," said TSRI Associate Professor Gavin Rumbaugh, who led the study. "Because we found the root biological cause of this genetic brain disorder, we can now shift our research toward developing tailor-made therapies for people affected by Syngap1 mutations."
In the study, Rumbaugh and his colleagues used a mouse model to show that mutations in Syngap1 damage the development of a kind of neuron known as glutamatergic neurons in the young forebrain, leading to intellectual disability. Higher cognitive processes, such as language, reasoning and memory arise in children as the forebrain develops.
Repairing damaging Syngap1 mutations in these specific neurons during development prevented cognitive abnormalities, while repairing the gene in other kinds of neurons and in other locations had no effect.
Rumbaugh noted prenatal diagnosis of some infant genetic disorders is on the horizon. Technological advances in genetic sequencing allow for individual genomes to be scanned for damaging mutations; it is possible to scan the entire genome of a child still in the womb. "Our research suggests that if Syngap1 function can be fixed very early in development, this should protect the brain from damage and permanently improve cognitive function," said TSRI Research Associate Emin Ozkan, a first author of the study, along with TSRI Research Associate Thomas Creson. "In theory, patients then wouldn't have to be subjected to a lifetime of therapies and worry that the drugs might stop working or have side effects from chronic use."
Mutations to Syngap1 are a leading cause of "sporadic intellectual disability," resulting from new, random mutations arising spontaneously in genes, rather than faulty genes inherited from parents. Intellectual disability affects approximately one to three percent of the population worldwide.
Rumbaugh and his colleagues are continuing to investigate. "Our findings have also identified exciting potential biomarkers in the brain of cognitive failure, allowing us to test new therapeutic strategies in our Syngap1 animal model," said Creson.

Interior designers reinvents home by adopting an out of the box thinking and creativity. While preparing the blue print for interiors, they guide you in selecting the materials, space distribution, and furnishing arrangements. Finding a reliable independent designer may be a difficult task. Thus, approaching an interior designing firm of good reputation is the best alternative. Companies are now able to be of crucial guidance not only for design but for the entire home furnishing process. Let us explore on how an interior design company take up the responsibility and perform.
The role of an Interior designer working in a company is to steer and make the best suitable use of available space. They start the home interior design process in consultation and discuss in detail about the budget, and requirements. After the initial discussion, interior designer present the space layout for approval. Thereafter, sketches and drawings as a concept will be then presented for discussion and improvement.
Once they finalize the 2D drawings, client can ask for 3D visuals for better understanding. The use of 3D drawings helps to depict how the interior space would look like. 3D modeling improves drawing efficiency and accuracy. This makes the designers and clients visualize the design and suitability. Thus an expert interior designing company helps to make design and specifications in detail. They develop design concepts as per site-specific requirement and suggest materials for effective implementation.
Small-scale fabricators or contractors make furniture at site, which makes it uncomfortable for the homeowners. This not only creates a vast residue of dust particles, it also results in compromising on privacy. Giving the furnishing works to a professional interior design company is the best away to avoid prolonged works at site. An interior design firm does production at their own factory or workshop. With production at factories, there is more room for large-scale production with better precision and finishing.
A professional interior designing firm can not only create the core furniture items but also source soft furnishings and other decor items. There exist extensive notions that consulting an interior design company is expensive. However, they can actually save money and save time as they become responsible as a one stop shop. One will not only be able to source quality, matching materials and furnishing but also avoid costly mistakes. Established Interior designing companies has the benefit of huge furnishing showrooms. This allows you to find a wide range of products and accessories.
