Saudi Arabian King Abdallah died this weekend placing his half-brother Crown Prince Salman into the position as Saudi Arabia's new King Salman and elevated his brother to the role of Crown Prince Muqrin. The new King Salman was born on December 31, 1935 making his age to be seventy-nine with less than optimal conditions of health as are all those who are in the immediate line to the throne. The new Saudi Crown Prince Muqrin was born September 15, 1945 making his age to be sixty-nine. Reports on both of the Saudi Royals' health are poor or worse making one of their chief immediate duties to soberly choose from amongst the children and grandchildren and seek out which ones are to be groomed further and placed, once their attributes and attitudes have been referenced, cross-referenced, thoroughly parsed, dissected, itemized, examined and everything verified are they to be placed in line for grooming to be the next rulers of the kingdom. This will take a matter of years despite the evident necessity to find the likely path the leadership will take so as to make such explained and verified by the religious hierarchy and all others whose input will have been sought and those whose positions make their acceptance more important and necessary. The next generations of monarchs will need training in governing, budgeting, foreign policy, Koranic knowledge and the other necessities of ruling. They will be required to prove their worth and will likely be thrown into position to rule provinces or cities, be placed in liaison positions with the religious leaders of Saudi Arabia with an emphasis on the leading Wahhabi Imams, proper military training and service, and knowledge of the ins and outs of the oil industry and its use in international diplomacy. All of these are items which will have many in the nation concerned and a select few outside of Saudi Arabia. Still, there will be some ramifications which many will find affecting their daily lives and others which Middle East experts will dwell upon for hours if permitted the time during interviews. We will try to hit some of the immediate ramifications and hope we are sufficiently accurate or at the least no more inaccurate than the average expert despite being amateurs by comparison.
We can expect to expect little if any changes initially, especially the price per barrel of oil as the new monarchs were likely included in many of the planning, diplomatic events, implementation and OPEC preparations as well as the reasoning and diplomatic and foreign reasoning for keeping their production at such a high rate driving the price down below fifty dollars a barrel. We will probably witness a more conservative series of actions initially as the change in the Saudi Arabian leadership will force the new leadership to be security conscious and very concerned with intra-national as well as extra-national security with both having heavy dependence on the military. There will be the potential that Saudi Arabia will intervene should the continuing situation in Yemen threatens their southern border or should Iran move to impose their influence or should either the al-Qaeda or the Houthis take control and threaten the shipping lanes to and from the Red Sea and threaten the shipping lanes into and out of the Red Sea as well as the Suez Canal and its access with the Mediterranean Sea, Europe and the Atlantic Ocean. Thus, Saudi Arabia will become more introverted and keep much of the rulings of the new Royal Family members addressing exactly what their expectations within their lands, especially concerning women and other matters which can be tied to Islam and the interpretations of the Quran and how it will affect their rule. So, what can be expected is for those outside of Saudi Arabia are similar to what the world has witnessed for the past year or so when Saudi Arabia was ruled by King Abdallah as the new monarch will not be straying far from his policies and giving some time to pass before stepping out on their own paths.
Formerly King Abdallah had taken a path not previously traveled and was very slowly but inexorably liberalizing the Islamic strict restrictions against women. He permitted women to leave the house and shop unescorted and to vote in some local elections provided they were escorted by a male family member. These relaxed societal laws may not be considered to be lessening restrictions for women under Western societal standards but they were very extreme for anywhere under the strict Sharia interpretations by the Saudi government. We can pretty much forget the idea of permitting women to drive in Saudi Arabia in the foreseeable future. New King Salman is considered to be quite more security conscious and libel to use force of arms rather than the subtle force of diplomacy or the using of the price of oil to bring adversaries to their knees or even play a part if bringing the Soviet Union to its timely end and thus assist in liberating all of Western Europe. Using a similar low pricing of a barrel of oil is strangling Russia and bringing many of the fracking and other costly methods from pumping because it has temporarily become unprofitable in the United States. Still, there is one more target which is being affected by this low oil price, and that entity is Iran as it is being forced to sell oil at next to no profit over taking it out of the oil fields, whether refining it or shipping it out as crude. This lowering of the price for oil by Saudi Arabia has been their only real weapon they have by which they are able to drive any competition out of business or deny an adversarial threat such as Iran of the funds to continue any development of arms or to end any adventures such a threat may have planned. This use of driving the price of oil down through production at capacity by Saudi Arabia was necessitated by the lack of resolve by the Europeans and the United States to prevent Iran from attaining nuclear weapons or stepping up efforts to curtail ISIS as well as al-Qaeda on their northern and southern borders respectively. It will remain to be seen if the new leadership will continue this assault by way of oil prices as it also has required the Saudi Royal Family to utilize their reserves of funds to sustain efforts within Saudi Arabia to maintain funding which prevents the population from becoming unstable as well as funding the Wahhabi institutions worldwide.
The change of leadership through succession has been fortuitous as Iranian adventurism has not been stamped out as of yet by the Saudi Arabian oil war which has been their use of monetary sanctions by another means which they have utilized to replace the sanctions lifted by United States President Barack Obama. Iran was still capable of arming the Houthis in Yemen which just this week completed their push to topple the government. One might have expected that the United States would have been more proactive in preventing this blatant coup by the Iranian armed rebels as Yemen is one of the United States allies and refueling ports for the United States Navy despite the incident of the attack by al-Qaeda on the USS Cole in October 2000. Yemen has now become another failed state where the main governing forces are rebel groups or terrorist entities. This adds Yemen to the list of Lebanon, Somalia, and Libya.
Additionally there are the nations in north and central Africa which are currently fighting for their survival against terrorist entities which include but not limited to Nigeria, Mali, Kenya, South Sudan, Chad, Cameroon and Central African Republic. A number of these nations are facing threats from Boko Haram which is an entity similar to ISIS and one that had identified with al-Qaeda but has recently claimed allegiance with ISIS. ISIS is another threat which has Saudi Arabia concerned especially since recently there have been fighting between ISIS forces and the military of Saudi Arabia in the northwestern province. These assaults have been more of a test of resolve and with the recent death of King Abdallah and the ascension of Crown Prince Salman into the ruling role, his somewhat more militant attitude could be exactly what may be necessary in Saudi Arabia considering the threats on its northern and southern borders as well as the reassertion of the Muslim Brotherhood in the Sinai Peninsula and their threat against Egypt, a crucial and necessary ally of the Saudis and a traditional supporter of the Royal Family. The changes in Saudi rulers will still require a period of time to fully understand the coming changes and will need to be watched before coming to any lasting and necessary changes in policies. This was something which was expected though it still happened fairly rapidly which often makes such changes problematic but the Saudis have handled such changes in their ruling structure better than others. For the meantime any of the changes which may have been in the planning will likely be terminated until the changeover is complete and then all will see. Until then the world will need to necessarily simply wait and see and be lenient though in trying times as the present lenience is a luxury which one may not have the necessary time to wait.

Our 1st Symposium took place on 24th & 25th May 2017. If you were there, you'll know what a fantastic event it was. If you missed it, the information below - published in advance of the event - sets out what it was all about.
The aim of the symposium is to bring together experts in sensor networks, data analytics, interactive visualisation, human computer interaction, online citizen engagement, behaviour change, sports and exercise with the aim of transforming health through enabling mobility.
The meeting is sponsored by the EPSRC-funded GetAMoveOn Network+.
While we understand the potential technologies, we do not yet know how to leverage the technology effectively to support transformative health. Current approaches in ehealth generally only reach a small part of the population that is already interested in fitness, personal data capture, or both. Their uptake is, furthermore, of dubious effect as two recent medical reviews have shown. To have a national impact on health and wellbeing, to reduce the crippling burden of long term health conditions and to move healthcare from the clinic to the community, we need to reach everyone, across a range of abilities and aspirations. We need to connect the potential of the technology with the potential of people and realise the benefits of a healthy, brilliant, population.
Realising this potential requires research on novel technical solutions. These need to be supported by theories from a range of disciplines - from sports and health sciences on blending appropriate movement strategies for particular performance aspirations, to behavioural and cognitive sciences on ways to engage people to make effective and meaningful progress. We need to understand what measures are appropriate not just to evaluate progress, but to guide it and adapt to it. To have meaningful impact across these dimensions we need to combine a range of expertise including sensor networks, data analytics, interactive visualisation, human computer interaction, online citizen engagement, behaviour change, sports, exercise.
Registration, early evening drinks reception and symposium dinner.
We propose a mix of activities: some invited talks, panels, poster sessions, and presentations from both GetAMoveOn Network+ members and others working on related topics.
You can download the symposium booklet with details of the agenda, speaker biographies and abstracts of presentations.
The symposium will be held at the Holiday Inn London - Wembley. For more information, see the venue website.
Registration for the symposium has now closed.

When I compile main.tex I get the following error (twice; the other one is in line 61):

See the LaTeX manual or LaTeX Companion for explanation.
Type  H <return>  for immediate help.

?

I noticed that if I don't reset AB@authlist and AB@affillist, the problem with the line ending doesn't appear. If I uncomment \preauthor{} and \postauthor{}, the problem is also gone but all authors and affiliations are aligned to the left. Putting \centering or \begin{center} \end{center} into \pre and \postauthor{} doesn't solve the alignment problem.
Does anyone know if there is another way to reset the content of AB@authlist and AB@affillist or what else might be causing the line ending problem?
I wouldn't have to use titling package if I could use \maketitle several times. Is it possible to modify \maketitle without titling package in such a way that it could be used multiple times?

A: I'm not sure if this is how it is meant to look. This basically loads titling first and tweaks the redefinition of \maketitle by authblk. I've also defined some new commands for convenience so that \myinput{greatpaper} will input greatpaper.tex, issue \maketitle, \@Content and clean up ready for the next file.
Note that I've switched from the obsolete 2.09 syntax for font switches to the current 2e syntax. The obsolete switches (e.g. \rm, \sl and other two-letter switches) ought not to be used in LaTeX documents and have been deprecated for over two decades. This is not just a question of different commands: the new font commands (e.g. \rmfamily, \slshape, \textsl{} and similar) behave differently and, in particular, are designed to do what you would expect in various cases where the two-letter switches do not. There is a question on site which explains the issue in all its gory glory. Just search if you are interested in the lurid details.
Here's the code:
\begin{filecontents}{FirstFile.tex}

ENUGU APC REPLIES PDP, FINGERS PAT ASADU, WE SHALL MEET IN COURT
Soul 2 Soul Mates Blog 11/25/2017 04:12:00 pm news, politics,
The last is yet to be heard on the alleged attack on the 2015 governorship candidate of the All Progressives Congress,
APC, in Enugu State, Barr. Okey Ezea.
The leadership of the APC in the State raised the alarm through its chairman, Barr. Ben Nwoye who called for the immediate arrest of the Enugu State Commissioner for transport, Hon. Vitus Okechi and the vice-chairman elect of Igbo-Eze South Council Area, Hon. Sunday Ajogwu for allegedly masterminding the said attack.
However, PDP leaders in Igbo-Eze South not only dismissed Nwoye's allegations, but warned that it would drag the party to court over defamation of character. They went further to state that Ezea had over the years involved himself in election violence.
Consequently, the APC has expressed its readiness to meet the PDP in court.
The APC equally accused Hon. Pat Asadu representing Nsukka/Igbo-Eze South federal constituency as one of those behind the said attack.
Leaders of the APC in Enugu North Senatorial zone, at a press briefing in Enugu on Saturday, said it was not afraid of being dragged to court over the matter, stressing that it would afford it the opportunity to expose all those involved in the alleged attack on Ezea.
Those at the press briefing included: the Enugu North zonal secretary of the APC, Mr. Sylvester Eze, the assistant state youth leader, Idoko Emmanuel, the local government chairmanship candidate of the party in the November LG election, Okenyi Jonas and the party's secretary in Igbo-Eze South, Ubah Uthman Onah.
Eze said it was shocking when they read the PDP's denial of the attack.
According to him, "We are not here to join issues with the PDP but to state the facts; I think the PDP are afraid of their shadows; how can they say they did not attack Okey Ezea; who took Okey Ezea to the local government headquarters where he was beaten thoroughly?
"Why are they running away from the truth? I thought they are bold people. It is obvious they want to intimidate everybody in Igbo-Eze South.
"We want to restate that this incident happened in the full glare of the public; there were gun-carrying youths, more than 70 of them, under the command of the commissioner.
"They were chasing us out of the local government that day as if we are not indigenes of the local government; that place belongs to all of us.
"They said Ezea came in and started slapping people. Who did he slap? Let them tell us one. Who did he matchet? Let them tell us one.
"They abducted Okey Ezea and took him away. We know what happened. It is just that the police are not doing their work; otherwise they are supposed to have arrested these people before now. They are talking because they have the mouth to talk.
"I heard they are threatening to go to court; can they do it? If they want to go to court, we are ready. Which defamation are they talking about? Let them go to court and we will expose everything."
Also speaking, Idoko, who is also the zonal youth leader of the party, said he witnessed the attack.
He alleged that Ezea escaped death by the whiskers.
He claimed that "They were all carrying guns and my greatest shock is that even policemen that were there could not rescue Ezea. He was discussing with about five policemen before he was abducted. They were shooting here and there.
"I was the one that called the APC State chairman, Barr. Ben Nwoye and so many others. At the end, he came back alive but we was seriously tortured. It was Emeka Madu that stopped them from killing him.
"Even the Hon. Pat Asadu, the Reps member from our area was there. When they brought him into the local government, Asadu left. He was behind the entire plot.
"Quote me, Idoko Emmanuel, Hon. Pat Asadu plotted the entire episode; it is all about 2019. He wants to be the only leader in Igbo-Eze South. So, he wants to take Okey Ezea away. If he succeeds, who talks again in Igbo-Eze South?
"We are calling on the police not to sweep this under the carpet. They should look into this because we wonder what 2019 election will look like.
"Our lives are now at stake; very much at stake. Even if I die tomorrow, I know those to be held responsible. I can't even go to my village again. Somebody called me that election day, that I'm the next target.
"So, we are calling on the police to stop paying lip-service to this issue. It should be given the serious attention it deserves."
When contacted, an aide to Asadu, Mr. Chineme Onyeke said it was out of place for anyone to link the lawmaker with the reported attack.
While dismissing the reported attack he said, "Hon. Asadu is not in the country at the moment; but I can tell you that no such thing happened. Asadu was not a candidate in the local government election. He was just a voter.
"He never ordered attack on anybody and never witnessed any such attack. He does not involve himself in such things. Of what gain will it be to him? The local government election was held over two weeks ago, and some people just woke up now and started bringing up stories.
"Why have they not reported it to the police or any other security agency. The public should just ignore these allegations."

Queens Lawmakers On The Move Aug. 20, 2018
Addabbo To Bring Metrocard Van To Maspeth & Middle Village
Senator Joseph Addabbo Jr.
State Sen. Joseph P. Addabbo, Jr. (D- Howard Beach, Ozone Park, Woodhaven, Glendale, Middle Village, Maspeth, parts of South Ozone Park, Ridgewood, Woodside and The Rockaways) is once again bringing the MetroCard Van to two locations in his district at the end of August.
The MetroCard Van allows constituents to purchase new cards and refill their old ones right in their own community. The staff on board will be selling unlimited and pay-per-ride MetroCards and will also be equipped to add money to regular or reduced fare cards.
Many neighborhoods within Addabbo's large Senate district are not serviced by train stations, where MetroCard vending machines are primarily located. This leaves residents without an easily accessible location where they can easily refill or purchase new MetroCards. By bringing the MetroCard Van into these areas, Addabbo is making it easier for those constituents — especially those with mobility issues — to access this service.
"Unfortunately, many areas of my district are known as transportation deserts, meaning there are very little public transportation options for residents," Addabbo said. "Without a train station in close proximity, it can be difficult for people to find a place to refill their MetroCard or purchase a new one. The MetroCard Van offers my constituents a convenient location to take care of all of the MetroCard needs."
The MetroCard van is slated to be in the district from 10 a.m. to 12 noon, Wednesday, Aug. 29 at the Maspeth Federal Savings Bank main branch, l56-18 69th Street in Maspeth. Then, the van will makes its way to Middle Village and from 1-3 p.m. be stationed outside of the St. Margaret's Senior Center, 66-05 77th Street.
For more information about this event, and future MetroCard Van locations within the Senator's district, contact Addabbo's office at 718-738-1111.
Avella Explains Proposed Legislation Requiring Traffic Study Prior to Daycare Center Application Approval
Sen. Tony Avella
State Sen. Tony Avella (D-College Point, Whitestone, Bayside, Flushing, Jamaica Estates, Fresh Meadows, Bellerose, Floral Park, Jamaica, Douglaston, Little Neck, Auburndale, Kissena Park, Briarwood) on Friday stood with Queens Civic Congress President Kevin Forrestal and other community leaders affected by newly licensed daycare centers to explain his new legislation requiring a traffic study be performed prior to New York State approving a license.
Avella explained he has been contacted on numerous occasions by residents affected by traffic problems caused by picking up and dropping off of children at new daycare centers. His legislation would require the State Department of Transportation to perform a traffic study within 90 days of the application. This way, daycare centers in unsafe locations, or those locations that will be unsuitable for traffic flow, may not be approved.
Among the factors the traffic study will review are traffic flow, whether a safe location for drop-off and pickup for children is available, traffic flow at certain times of day, and the crime rate – especially the frequency of speeding.
"This legislation is aimed to address two issues, safety of the children at daycare centers and the quality of life of residents near new daycare centers,"said Avella. "The negative safety and quality of life impacts of traffic and congestion due to some of the centers in unbelievable. There is one such location in my district where the police have to be called for traffic control, and they have much better things to do. This legislation would help everybody, the children, the residents, the facility owners and drivers using these streets."
Electeds from Southeast Queens Endorse Tish James for Attorney General
Public Advocate Letitia James
Public Advocate and Attorney General Candidate Letitia James (D) on Friday received the endorsements of a number of lawmakers from Southeast Queens including State Senators Leroy Comrie and James Sanders, Jr.; Assemblymembers Alicia Hyndman and Clyde Vanel; and City Council Members I. Daneek Miller and Donovan Richards, Jr.
Throughout the day, these elected officials held grassroots campaign events with James, introducing her to voters, highlighting her qualifications, and outlining how she will fight for New Yorkers.
"Tish James has served as a public defender, an Assistant Attorney General, a City Council Member, and as Public Advocate — she's the most qualified candidate, hands down. I've worked with Tish for over a decade and I know firsthand that she will be a champion for families in Queens and across our state. I'm proud to endorse her for Attorney General," said Comrie.
"I had the opportunity to serve alongside Tish James in the City Council — and I know that she has the vision, the experience, and the grit to stand up for New York's families. Whether she's fighting back against the Trump Administration, suing over housing discrimination, or protecting workers' rights, Tish is the Attorney General New Yorkers need. I'm proud to strongly endorse her candidacy," said Sanders, Jr.
"Throughout her career, Tish James has given a voice to the voiceless. Time and time again, she's spoken out on behalf of students and parents to make sure our children receive the education they deserve. I know that as Attorney General she will continue and expand her work to support families — and I'm proud to endorse her," said Hyndman.
"Queens residents need an Attorney General who will serve as their lawyer — advocating, investigating, and litigating on their behalf. As Public Advocate, Tish James has fought both in and out of court for New Yorkers, and I know she will do the same for families across the state as Attorney General. I'm proud to endorse Tish for Attorney General — and I look forward to working with her for years to come," said Vanel.
"Tish James has spent her career defending New York's families, fighting for union workers, and advocating for our students. She's lead the way on progressive issues — from the Fight For $15 to ensuring our children have the resources they need. I have been happy to work alongside Tish for years, and I am proud to endorse her today," said Miller.
"Tish James has served the public for decades — and she has always fought for affordable housing, worked to prevent gun violence, and helped protect our environment. As our next Attorney General, Tish will double down on these efforts and expand the ways she fights for our families. I'm proud to endorse Tish's campaign for Attorney General — and look forward to all of the good work she will accomplish," said Richards, Jr.

Queens Officials Urge Solar Energy For New York Residents


We're heading into the hottest part of the year here in Orange County. During these warm summer days and nights it's tempting to crank up the AC and seek refuge inside from the rising temperatures. Our lawns also require more water to stay green, which can be a losing game considering our current drought conditions. If you've been thinking about upgrading features of your home to be more eco-friendly, now could not be a better time. Here are some ideas that will help your home save both energy and water.
Consider installing a central environmental management system to control all aspects of your home including lighting and temperature. Not only do these systems give you the ultimate control over your surroundings, they can also save you big money on your utility bills – as much as 20 to 40 percent. The system gives you the ability to customize every area of your home from an interactive touchpad. These sophisticated systems track sunrise and sunset and can dim lights based on available sunlight and change the internal temperature of the home. Going away on vacation? No problem. The system can shut down lights and adjust temperatures, which can be controlled remotely from a smartphone or tablet computer.
Many Laguna homeowners have begun installing solar panels in order to produce energy. While some homeowners prefer to rely on battery reserves for solar power, there is now a way to tie your panels directly to the local power grid through a power inverter. These inverters convert the direct current generated from the panels into the alternate current that your house needs. In fact during times of need, some municipalities even buy excess energy that the solar panels create. Solar power systems with grid-tied inverters can be installed professionally and are a great energy-saving upgrade for luxury homes.
Recent mandatory water restrictions in California mean that your green lawn might not get all the water it needs to stay looking healthy. Why not remove that water-hungry grass and replace it with California friendly drought tolerant plant species? The Municipal Water District of Orange County offers financial incentives of $2 or more per square foot to homeowners who remove their grass and replace it with drought resistant varieties. With our state experiencing record drought conditions, finding ways to conserve our precious water supply has become a priority. There are many professional landscaping companies who specialize in drought resistant designs, and they can be quite stunning while being much less taxing on our water supplies.
More and more homeowners are beginning to look for ways to make their homes friendlier to the environment. Potential homeowners also rank energy efficiency and so-called "green homes" as a high priority. Why not consider one – or all – of the above suggestions to turn your luxury Laguna home into an eco-friendly oasis. It's a win-win situation for everybody!


Right now when you buy Rock Band 2 for the Xbox 360 from Amazon, they'll throw in a 1600 Live Points card. That means you can download another 10 songs in addition to the 84 songs that come with the game.
That's like having your cake and eating it, too. And then getting a free slice of delicious pie. You know… and then eating that. Anyway. It's a lot of sweetness, and a pretty good deal for an awesome game that currently has a score of 93/100 on Metacritic.
Plus! For today only, Amazon has knocked down the price of Guitar Hero: On Tour for the Nintendo DS from $47.99 to $29.99. My electronical abacus tells me that's about 38% off!
I forgot to tell you, I have this. Let me know if you ever want to play.

Rainfall-driven cycling of intertidal salt marsh and mud flat sediment represents a nonpoint source of material that typically is not accounted for in coastal biogeochemical models. This sediment store represents a substantial source of nutrients, organic carbon, and contaminants that may be reintroduced into the water column by low tide rainfall events. Rainfall-entrained sediment is particularly important given that tidal and shallow water wave currents do not produce the shear stress needed to initiate cohesive sediment transport. Given that climate changes expected in the southern and eastern United States point to more intense and frequent rainfall, rainfall-driven sediment cycling will have unknown, but potentially vital or deleterious, effects on coastal ocean ecosystems. Indeed, few studies have addressed the erosive capability of low tide rainfall events, despite the potentially large effect on the remobilization of stored sediment. Uncertainty in rainfall effects on sediment cycling also presents an important consideration for the successful representation and management of intertidal zone sediment dynamics, particularly considering ecosystem vulnerability from the cycling of adhered contaminants. The objective of this research is to augment the current understanding of these processes by further expanding and quantifying the cycling of sediment mobilized by low tide rainfall episodes.
What is the frequency and significance of low tide rainfall events?
What is the quantity of sediment (and adsorbed particulates) entrained, and what is the geochemistry of this entrained sediment, with a focus on trace metals, organic carbon, and radionuclides?
Does the transport, redistribution, and fate of this sediment pose an environmental or ecotoxicological issue?
How does this flux change over spatial and temporal scale variations?
Can the GeoWEPP numerical model effectively simulate and predict rainfall driven mobilization, redistribution, and fate of low tide rainfall eroded sediment for intertidal marshes, or if not, what code adjustments are necessary?
How do/will these issues affect decision making and management of coastal zones?
Because of the interrelated feedbacks that occur in the highly productive and sensitive intertidal zone, it is imperative to both terrestrial and marine processes that we assess rainfall induced sediment flux on a timely and systematic basis.

CSS utilities for rapidly laying out custom designs.

Material-UIには、コアに数十の **今すぐ使用できる** コンポーネントが付属しています。 These components are an incredible starting point but when it comes to making your site stand out with a custom design, it can be simpler to start from an unstyled state. Introducing the system:

The **system** lets you quickly build custom UI components leveraging the values defined in your theme.

## Demo

_(Resize the window to see the responsive breakpoints)_

{{"demo": "pages/system/basics/Demo.js", "bg": true, "defaultCodeOpen": true}}

## インストール

```jsx
// with npm
npm install @material-ui/system@next @emotion/react @emotion/styled

// with yarn
yarn add @material-ui/system@next @emotion/react @emotion/styled
```

Or if you want to use `styled-components` as a styling engine:

```sh
// with npm
npm install @material-ui/system@next @material-ui/styled-engine-sc@next styled-components

// with yarn
yarn add @material-ui/system@next @material-ui/styled-engine-sc@next styled-components
```

Take a look at the [Styled Engine guide](/guides/styled-engine/) for more information about how to configure `styled-components` as the style engine.

## Why use the system?

Compare how the same stat component can be built with two different APIs.

{{"demo": "pages/system/basics/Why.js", "bg": true, "defaultCodeOpen": false}}

1. ❌ using the styled-components's API:

```jsx
const StatWrapper = styled('div')(
  ({ theme }) => `
  background-color: ${theme.palette.background.paper};
  box-shadow: ${theme.shadows[1]};
  border-radius: ${theme.shape.borderRadius}px;
  padding: ${theme.spacing(2)};
  min-width: 300px;
`,
);

const StatHeader = styled('div')(
  ({ theme }) => `
  color: ${theme.palette.text.secondary};
`,
);

const StyledTrend = styled(TrendingUpIcon)(
  ({ theme }) => `
  color: ${theme.palette.success.dark};
  font-size: 16px;
  vertical-alignment: sub;
`,
);

const StatValue = styled('div')(
  ({ theme }) => `
  color: ${theme.palette.text.primary};
  font-size: 34px;
  font-weight: ${theme.typography.fontWeightMedium};
`,
);

const StatDiff = styled('div')(
  ({ theme }) => `
  color: ${theme.palette.success.dark};
  display: inline;
  font-weight: ${theme.typography.fontWeightMedium};
  margin-left: ${theme.spacing(0.5)};
  margin-right: ${theme.spacing(0.5)};
`,
);

const StatPrevious = styled('div')(
  ({ theme }) => `
  color: ${theme.palette.text.secondary};
  display: inline;
  font-size: 12px;
`,
);

return (
  <StatWrapper>
    <StatHeader>Sessions</StatHeader>
    <StatValue>98.3 K</StatValue>
    <StyledTrend />
    <StatDiff>18.77%</StatDiff>
    <StatPrevious>vs last week</StatPrevious>
  </StatWrapper>
);
```

2. ✅ using the system:

```jsx
<Box
  sx={{
    bgcolor: 'background.paper',
    boxShadow: 1,
    borderRadius: 1,
    p: 2,
    minWidth: 300,
  }}
>
  <Box sx={{ color: 'text.secondary' }}>Sessions</Box>
  <Box sx={{ color: 'text.primary', fontSize: 34, fontWeight: 'medium' }}>
    98.3 K
  </Box>
  <Box
    component={TrendingUpIcon}
    sx={{ color: 'success.dark', fontSize: 16, verticalAlign: 'sub' }}
  />
  <Box
    sx={{
      color: 'success.dark',
      display: 'inline',
      fontWeight: 'medium',
      mx: 0.5,
    }}
  >
    18.77%
  </Box>
  <Box sx={{ color: 'text.secondary', display: 'inline', fontSize: 12 }}>
    vs. last week
  </Box>
</Box>
```

### Problem solved

The system focus on solving 3 main problems:

**1. Switching context wastes time.**

There's no need to constantly jump between the usage of the styled components and where they are defined. With the system, those descriptions are right where you need them.

**2. Naming things is hard.**

Have you ever found yourself struggling to find a good name for a styled component? The system maps the styles directly to the element. All you have to do is worry about actual style properties.

**3. Enforcing consistency in UIs is hard.**

This is especially true when more than one person is building the application, as there has to be some coordination amongst members of the team regarding the choice of design tokens and how they are used, what parts of the theme structure should be used with what CSS properties, and so on.

The system provides direct access to the value in the theme. It makes it easier to design with constraints.

## The `sx` prop

The `sx` prop, as the main part of the system, solves these problems by providing a fast & simple way of applying the correct design tokens for specific CSS properties directly to a React element. The [demo above](#demo) shows how it can be used to create a one-off design.

This prop provides a superset of CSS (contains all CSS properties/selectors in addition to custom ones) that maps values directly from the theme, depending on the CSS property used. Also, it allows a simple way of defining responsive values that correspond to the breakpoints defined in the theme.

### When to use it?

- **styled-components**: the API is great to build components that need to support a wide variety of contexts. These components are used in many different parts of the application and support different combinations of props.
- **`sx` prop**: the API is great to apply one-off styles. It's called "utility" for this reason.

### Performance tradeoff

The system relies on CSS-in-JS. It works with both emotion and styled-components.

Pros:

- 📚 It allows a lot of flexibility in the API. The `sx` prop supports a superset of CSS. There is **no need to learn CSS twice**. You are set once you have learn the standardized CSS syntax, it's safe, it hasn't changed for a decade. Then, you can **optionally** learn the shorthands if you value the save of time they bring.
- 📦 Auto-purge. Only the used CSS on the page is sent to the client. The initial bundle size cost is **fixed**. It's not growing with the number of used CSS properties. You pay the cost of [@emotion/react](https://bundlephobia.com/result?p=@emotion/react) and [@material-ui/system](https://bundlephobia.com/result?p=@material-ui/system). It cost around ~15 kB gzipped. If you are already using the core components, it comes with no extra overhead.

Cons:

- The runtime performance takes a hit.

  | Benchmark case                    | Code snippet                | Time normalized |
  |:--------------------------------- |:--------------------------- | --------------- |
  | a. Render 1,000 primitives        | `<div className="…">` | 100ms           |
  | b. Render 1,000 components        | `<Div>`               | 120ms           |
  | c. Render 1,000 styled components | `<StyledDiv>`         | 160ms           |
  | d. Render 1,000 Box               | `<Box sx={…}>`        | 370ms           |

  _Head to the [benchmark folder](https://github.com/mui-org/material-ui/tree/next/benchmark/browser) for a reproduction of these metrics._

  We believe that for most uses it's **fast enough**, but there are simple workarounds when performance becomes critical. For instance, when rendering a list with many items, you can use a CSS child selector to have a single "style injection" point (using d. for the wrapper and a. for each item).

### API tradeoff

Having the system under one prop (`sx`) helps to differentiate props defined for the sole purpose of CSS utilities, vs. those for component business logic. It's important for the **separation of concerns**. For instance, a `color` prop on a button impacts multiple states (hover, focus, etc.), not to be confused with the color CSS property.

Only the `Box`, `Stack`, `Typography`, and `Grid` components accept the system properties as _props_ for the above reason. These components are designed to solve CSS problems, they are CSS component utilities.

## 使い方

### Design tokens in the theme

You can explore the [System properties](/system/properties/) page to discover how the different CSS (and custom) properties are mapped to the theme keys.

### Shorthands

There are lots of shorthands available for the CSS properties. These are documented in the next pages, for instance, [the spacing](/system/spacing/). Here is an example leveraging them:

```jsx
<Box
  sx={{
    boxShadow: 1, // theme.shadows[1]
    color: 'primary.main', // theme.palette.primary.main
    m: 1, // margin: theme.spacing(1)
    p: {
      xs: 1, // [theme.breakpoints.up('xs')]: { padding: theme.spacing(1) }
    },
    zIndex: 'tooltip', // theme.zIndex.tooltip
  }}
>
```

These shorthands are **optional**, they are great to save time when writing styles but it can be overwhelming to learn new custom APIs. You might want to skip this part and bet on CSS, it has been standardized for decades, head to the [next section](#superset-of-css).

### Superset of CSS

As part of the prop, you can use any regular CSS too: child or pseudo-selectors, media queries, raw CSS values, etc. Here are a few examples:

- Using pseudo selectors:

  ```jsx
  <Box
    sx={{
      // some styles
      ":hover": {
        boxShadow: 6,
      },
    }}
  >
  ```

- Using media queries:

  ```jsx
  <Box
    sx={{
      // some styles
      '@media print': {
        width: 300,
      },
    }}
  >
  ```

- Using nested selector:

  ```jsx
  <Box
    sx={{
      // some styles
      '& .ChildSelector': {
        bgcolor: 'primary.main',
      },
    }}
  >
  ```

### Responsive values

If you would like to have responsive values for a CSS property, you can use the breakpoints shorthand syntax. There are two ways of defining the breakpoints:

#### 1. Breakpoints as an object

The first option for defining breakpoints is to define them as an object, using the breakpoints as keys. Note that each breakpoint property matches the breakpoint and every larger breakpoint. For example, `width: { lg: 100 }` is equivalent to `theme.breakpoints.up('lg')`. Here is the previous example again, using the object syntax.

{{"demo": "pages/system/basics/BreakpointsAsObject.js"}}

#### 2. Breakpoints as an array

The second option is to define your breakpoints as an array, from the smallest to the largest breakpoint.

{{"demo": "pages/system/basics/BreakpointsAsArray.js"}}

> ⚠ This option is only recommended when the theme has a limited number of breakpoints, e.g. 3.
 Prefer the object API if you have more breakpoints. For instance, the default theme of Material-UI has 5.

You can skip breakpoints with the `null` value:

```jsx
<Box sx={{ width: [null, null, 300] }}>This box has a responsive width.</Box>
```

### Custom breakpoints

You can also specify your own custom breakpoints, and use them as keys when defining the breakpoints object. Here is an example of how to do that.

```jsx
import * as React from 'react';
import Box from '@material-ui/core/Box';
import { createTheme, ThemeProvider } from '@material-ui/core/styles';

const theme = createTheme({
  breakpoints: {
    values: {
      mobile: 0,
      tablet: 640,
      laptop: 1024,
      desktop: 1280,
    },
  },
});

export default function CustomBreakpoints() {
  return (
    <ThemeProvider theme={theme}>
      <Box
        sx={{
          width: {
            mobile: 100,
            laptop: 300,
          },
        }}
      >
        This box has a responsive width
      </Box>
    </ThemeProvider>
  );
}
```

If you are using TypeScript, you will also need to use [module augmentation](/guides/typescript/#customization-of-theme) for the theme to accept the above values.

```ts
declare module "@material-ui/core/styles/createBreakpoints" {
  interface BreakpointOverrides {
    xs: false; // removes the `xs` breakpoint
    sm: false;
    md: false;
    lg: false;
    xl: false;
    tablet: true; // adds the `tablet` breakpoint
    laptop: true;
    desktop: true;
  }
}
```

### Theme getter

If you wish to use the theme for a CSS property that is not supported natively by the system, you can use a function as the value, in which you can access the theme object.

{{"demo": "pages/system/basics/ValueAsFunction.js"}}

## 実装

The `sx` prop can be used in four different locations:

### 1. Core components

All core Material-UI components will support the `sx` prop.

### 2. Box

[`Box`](/components/box/) is a lightweight component that gives access to the `sx` prop, and can be used as a utility component, and as a wrapper for other components. It renders a `<div>` element by default.

### 3. Custom components

In addition to Material-UI components, you can add the `sx` prop to your custom components too, by using the `styled` utility from `@material-ui/core/styles`.

```jsx
import { styled } from '@material-ui/core/styles';

const Div = styled('div')``;
```

### 4. Any element with the babel plugin

This workshop was brought to Cal State Fullerton in collaboration with the 5 Gyres exhibition being hosted in the Titan Student Union Galleries and hosted by Day Job Projects. For the project, invited artist Heather Bowling used the art of printmaking to comment on the mass production of the plastic materials that are now clogging our waterways and causing disastrous effects on the environment.
More of a creative environment than a structured classroom, the event included two interactive elements in which attendees learned the art of relief printmaking while navigating the treacherous waters of the issue of pollution in our oceans. First, viewers were invited to assist in creating a life-sized replica of a trash gyre. Participants were taught how to both carve and print linoleum blocks with imagery of plastic trash found in the oceans; which, once printed, were added to a mural of a trash gyre. The second activity allowed visitors to learn how to use a printing press and left them with a memento of the event - a print to take home with them, as a reminder to use and consume less plastic goods.

Objective: To assess awareness of sports players regarding the emergency management of sports injuries in oro facial region.
Methods: A self-administered, validated online questionnaire consisting of 10 questions based on knowledge of sports players regarding the emergency management of traumatized teeth was distributed among 90 (30 boxers, 30 mixed martial arts,30 Tae kwon do) players of National Sports University, Imphal. The data obtained were tabulated and statistically analyzed.
Results: In our study majority of players (86.7%-96.7%) encountered trauma while playing and 70%-93% of participants among them has previous experience in managing those trauma cases. Majority of participants reported that soft tissue injuries (70%-80%) are more common than hard tissue injuries (20%-30%) while playing. Only 13% -36% participants knew that tetanus toxoid injection is necessary in dental trauma cases while 33%-60% of participants has no idea about such measure. On knowledge regarding management of these soft tissue tears 10%-33.3% reported they wipe the area neatly and apply turmeric over it, 30%-33% participants apply an ointment /dettol /spirit and 33.3%-60% prefer to visit a dentist. Only 30%-33.3% participants of our study reported to seek professional help immediately if a permanent tooth has been knocked out, and 23-26.6% reported to seek help within 30 minutes.
Conclusion: The level of knowledge, in dental emergency procedures was satisfactory among all participants. Further, rigorous training on Dental Emergency management measures need to be given.

Main article text
Dental trauma during sports is the major associated factor which links dentistry and sports. This is one of the most recent and evolving dental sectors. Sports dentistry is the treatment of sporting oral / facial injuries and associated oral disorders and manifestations. It has two main components: First to treat orofacial injuries and second to avoid sport-related orofacial injuries [1].
Sports dentistry is the branch of dental sciences include prevention, protection and clinical management of oral and maxillofacial region of athletes and sports active members, it also deals with the safety precautions towards orofacial region and its disorders. Hence precaution, prevention and safety measures are the key factors in avoiding oral and maxillofacial injuries [2]. For all sports, particularly contact, it is normal for children to get injured, with face being the principal area of injury. As dentists, we have different types of dental and facial bone fractures to deal with [3].
The face is the body's most defenseless area, and is often the least protected area. About 11–40 per cent of all sport injuries involve the face. Such injuries most frequently occur by clashing with impacts from a ball or surface or from player to player. A blow to the face may not only inflict damage to the tooth or soft tissue, but can also lead to fractures of the jaw or facial bones, or even head injury. The complex facial anatomy poses a challenge for the physicians to diagnose and treat these injuries [4].
Contact sports are described as those sports in which players communicate physically with each other in an effort to prevent the opposing team or person from winning [5]. The National Youth Sports Foundation for the Prevention of Athletic Injuries has identified the most common form of dental / orofacial injuries suffered during sports participation, which include lacerations of the soft tissue, abrasions and contusions, intrusions of the dents or avulsions, fracturing of the crown or / and the root, loss of one or more teeth of maxillary incisors most often [6].
Andersson and Bodin [7] stated that the determining factors for a favorable prognosis of replantation of avulsed tooth are minimal time of the avulsed tooth outside the socket, the storage and transportation medium of the avulsed tooth, and also minimal handling of the root surface and the periodontal ligament. They also stated that prognosis of reimplanted tooth is largely determined in the first 15 min after avulsion. This states that immediate reimplantation is a necessity to achieve a better prognosis on reimplanted tooth [7]. According to the study conducted by Andreasen and Hjorting-Hansen [8], teeth that were reimplanted within 30 min gave a success rate of 90%, while only 5% chances of retention to those that were reimplanted after 2h.
The less common trauma involves zygoma fractures, mandibular fractures, alveolar fractures and temporomandibular joint trauma. Temporomandibular sport injuries and disorders may be caused by direct blows to the temporomandibular region, and indirectly by blows to the chin or laterally to the lower jaw where the force is transferred to one or both jaws. At the same time, the surrounding muscles, articular and extra-articular ligaments, articular disks and capsules, teeth can dissipate and modify the pathogenic effect of force [6].
Orofacial injuries have common consequences and are troublesome. These injuries can affect aspects of life physically, mentally, socially, and economically. Physically, orofacial injuries can lead to abnormal primary teeth exfoliation, permanent teeth eruption failure, unfavorable color changes in the teeth, painful abscesses and dental loss resulting in the injured victim's mouth unesthetic gaps [9]. Protection from sport-related orofacial injuries currently comes in the form of three shielding equipments: mouth guards, facemasks, and helmets [10].
Therefore, this study was conducted to assess the knowledge regarding prevention of traumatic injuries among contact sports players of National Sports University.
Our study population consisted of players of National Sports University. The players consent to participate in the study (inclusion criteria) was implied when they clicked on the 'next' button to answer the questionnaire, and they had complete freedom either to decline or answer the questionnaire. Only the principal investigator had access to the data and no personal details (e-mail address, phone number, name, etc.) were required. Responses were sought from only those players who are involved contact sports like boxing, Tae kwon do and mixed martial arts (MMA) and a submission was considered only when the 'submit' button was clicked at the end of the questionnaire (inclusion criteria). Among total submissions, if a sportsperson failed to answer ≥1 question, it was excluded from the analysis.
The study duration was from 1st August 2020 to 25th august, 2020, and both convenience sampling (researchers themselves contacted players to participate in the study) and snowball sampling (the participating players were asked to forward the questionnaire to their colleagues) were used so that maximal participation could be ensured. The questionnaire was distributed personally via a quick response (QR) code as well as posted on social media platform like WhatsApp. The questionnaire was divided into 2 sections and had a total of 10 questions. The 1st section contained personal information whereas the 2nd section assessed the knowledge of the participants regarding sports injuries. Data was collected and descriptive statistics were computed for each question's responses. Statistical analysis was done using SPSS version 22. Kruskal Wallis ANOVA was used to compare the responses among the three groups.
Out of 90 participants 30 each were boxers, mixed martial arts, and taek- wondo players who filled the questionnaire. Differences in their responses were noted among the three groups (Table 1).

In our study majority of players (86.7%-96.7%) encountered trauma while playing and 70%-93% of participants among them has previous experience in managing those trauma cases. Majority of participants reported that soft tissue injuries (70%-80%) are more common than hard tissue injuries (20%-30%) while playing. Only 13.3% -40% participants knew that tetanus toxoid injection is necessary in dental trauma cases while 33%-60% of participants has no idea about such measure. On knowledge regarding management of these soft tissue tears 10%-33.3% reported they wipe the area neatly and apply turmeric over it, 30%-33% participants apply an ointment /dettol /spirit and 33.3%-60% prefer to visit a dentist. Only 30%-33.3% participants of our study reported to seek professional help immediately if a permanent tooth has been knocked out, and 23-26.6% reported to seek help within 30 minutes. Majority (30%-66.7%) participants of our study do not knew the concept of replant ( put back) the tooth into the socket from which it came in case of trauma, and only 6% -16% of players were aware of this concept and rest participants has no idea. Only 13.3%-50.3% players reported that they will Scrub the tooth gently with a tooth brush to replant a tooth back it the socket if it has fallen into the ground and was covered in dirt, 6%-23.3% reported that they will prefer to rinse the tooth under the tap water and 80% of taek-wondo players reported that they will put the tooth straight back into the socket without doing anything.
Majority (53.3%-73.3%) participants prefer to transport the avulsed tooth in their hand to the dentist, 23.3% Tae kwon do players reported that they will chose their mouth as transport media, 3.3%-23.3% partcipants chosen water for transportation and 23.3% of boxers and 23.3% MMA players do not know about such concept of transportation of avulsed tooth.
Through results we arrived at the conclusion that Tae kwon do players has more (facial) injuries as compared to MMA and boxing as the difference between taekwondo and MMA / boxing statistically significant.
Sports can be fun time or a moment of competition. But such fun or competitions can be marred by the unwanted injuries inflicted during sports activities [11].
In our study 96.7% of Tae kwon do and 86.7% of MMA and boxers encountered trauma whilst playing amongst which 93.3% of the taek-wondo players, 70% of MMA and boxers had previous experience in managing trauma cases. This is found in disparity to the study performed by Zazryn TR, McCrory PR, Cameron PA among Australian professional boxers was found to be 23.3% [12] and at the same time 23.6%. in study conducted by Ngai KM, Levy F, Hsu EB among American mixed martial arts competitors [13].
In present study the greatest numbers of participant with dental injuries (96.7%) are of Tae kwon do, which is in a contrast to a study conducted by conducted by Jehad Ajarmah et al (30%) [14].
In present study participants most often came across soft tissue injuries (lip, tongue, cheek etc) which was found similar to the results of the study by Chan, et al. [15] In this study, 36.7% boxers, 40% MMA athletes and 13.3% Tae kwon do players agreed that tetanus toxoid injection is necessary in cases of dental trauma. According to research conducted by Fujita Y, Shiono Y, Maki K thorough attempt must be made to determine whether a patient has completed primary immunization. Children with unknown or uncertain previous immunization histories should be considered to have no previous tetanus toxoid doses [16].
With regard to the management of soft tissue tears 60% Tae kwon do players, 33.3% boxing, 10% MMA knew about the importance of emergency visit to nearby dentist and at the same time few chose to clean the wound and apply turmeric over it (33.3% Boxers, 33.3% MMA and 10% Tae kwon do athletes). Majority of players in research carried out by Chada Pujita, Sivakumar Nuvvula, G Shilpa, SVSG Nirmala, V Yamini when it came to the management of the same, participants belonged to rural areas initially preferred managing themselves with traditional household remedies i.e. application of turmeric rather than consulting a dentist, and in the urban areas there was divided opinion in the choice of management of such injuries. None of them preferred to manage such injuries using antiseptics, spirit or ointment and it was surprising to know that urban participants preferred the traditional method of managing injuries like application of turmeric in spite of readily available modern medicaments [17].
In our study majority of players believed to take immediate action in case of avulsed tooth which was found similar to the study conducted by Andersson and Bodin who have further stated that the prognosis of reimplanted tooth is largely determined in the first 15 min after avulsion. This states that immediate reimplantation is a necessity to achieve a better prognosis on reimplanted tooth.7 According to the study conducted by Andreasen and Hjorting-Hansen [8], teeth that were reimplanted within 30 min gave a success rate of 90%, while only 5% chances of retention to those that were reimplanted after 2h [18].
The determining factors for a favorable prognosis of replantation of avulsed tooth are minimal time of the avulsed tooth outside the socket, the storage and transportation medium of the avulsed tooth, and also minimal handling of the root surface and the periodontal ligament. The present study corroborates findings as majority of athletes reported that if tooth has fallen into the ground and was covered in dirt they will scrub the tooth gently with a tooth brush (13.3-53.3%), it demonstrates that there is need of more information on this subject. In study conducted by Caglar E, Ferreira LP, Kargul B total of 84.3% of participants said that they would pick up an avulsed tooth from the ground. However, they revealed a lack of awareness regarding the best form of cleaning the tooth, as 67.8% stated they would clean it with 'water or other liquid,' 10.0% said they would use 'cloth or paper,' and 22.2% 'would not clean the tooth [19].
Awareness of possibility of replanting avulsed or knocked out tooth in the survey conducted by Fakhruddin et al., Correa et al. and Perunski et al., was recorded in only 44% of athletes, and only a small percentage of athletes in this survey (16%) were familiar with the tooth rescue kit while in our study 6.7% boxers, 16.7% MMA athletes and 16.7 % Tae kwon do athletes were aware of replanting avulsed or knocked out tooth which was comparatively low [20]. Different storage media can be used for an avulsed tooth: Milk, saliva, saline solution, and water (in order of preference). Although water is the most readily available, it should be the last option because it causes lysis of vital periodontal cells.21 In present study 23.3% boxing and MMA players and 3.3% of the Tae kwon do athletes reported that they will carry avulsed tooth in water medium in case of avulsion.
While contact sports pose a relatively high risk for dental and orofacial trauma, proper treatment can improve outcomes. Prompt referral for complicated crown fractures and temporomandibular joint dislocations is paramount. A tooth-saving kit is useful on the sideline. If not available, an avulsed tooth can be transported in milk or saliva. Mouth guards can reduce or eliminate dental injury in most cases.
The level of knowledge in Dental Emergency Procedures was satisfactory among all participants. Further, rigorous training on Dental Emergency management measures need to be given.

The true meaning of our name lies in a Greek story. Soldiers in ancient Greece were faced with many grim and tough situations when fighting it out on the battlefield. To combat the harsh state of affairs, they decided to mark their helmets with the alphabet 'T', which stood for the word Terentia that means guardian or protector. They believed that this would shield them from adversities that could strike them as they ventured into unknown lands.
Just as the 'T' brought the soldiers peace and security, we at Terentia intend to do the same for our clients. Wars still take place, only now the scene has shifted to the boardroom and courts of law. Lengthy succession battles are not new or unheard of. But they can be avoided if one adopts a cautious approach.
Meticulously building a business empire is one part of a successful vision. Passing on the precious legacy in a systematic manner to your heirs is the second, and perhaps more critical part of it. Our job at Terentia is to help you formulate and execute a succession plan that will ensure seamless passing on of legacy from one generation to another.
As a dedicated estate planning firm, it is our endeavour to provide you with the best of global practices and traditional values. With an aim to help you develop a holistic succession plan that enables your family to carry on your legacy successfully after you, we offer tailor-made services that will complete the efforts you have put in to build the fortune.
However, a holistic succession plan is incomplete without our Family Business Advisory service depending on the family structure. As a part of our service, we will help you to define the key family policies that will govern the way the family's relationship with the business. We will further assist you in defining each family member's role and decision-making power in the business.
With our expertise, you can develop the perfect succession plan that addresses each and every family business-related issue.

Building assets for your loved ones could be a long cherished dream it entails lot of sacrifices and efforts to transform them into reality. Whilst the process of creation one would always want the beneficial interest of their loved ones to be taken care of either during the lifetime or post the lifetime.
Wouldn't it be sad if your loved ones have to struggle to claim their deserving right? It could be in the court or out of court. Can this be avoided? The answer is a simple YES. Being prudent and responsible can help you avoid ugly legal hassles. Simply leave a Will, which will help your family inherit the wealth seamlessly.
A Will is an instrument that allows you to put down on paper your final wish of how your wealth is to be distributed to the people who matter to you. While the drawing of a Will is considered a simple process, it may not be so. From using the correct language to draft it, to ensuring that none of your property has been missed out on, making of a Will becomes a more complex process than it seems. One tiny error can defeat the very purpose of drawing the Will. We believe precaution is better than cure.
We would conduct meetings with you to understand your needs, on the basis of which we will draft your will.
We will video-record the entire process so that challenging the Will later become a near-impossibility.
We also offer to safe-keep the Will with us.
Your responsibility does not end with just drawing up the Will. The more significant part of the exercise is executing the document correctly. Of the several steps involved in executing a Will, the key are attesting and registering the Will. Moreover, you also need to appoint the right person to execute the Will after you are no more i.e. someone who can ensure property is distributed exactly as mentioned in the Will.
The fact that the Supreme Court has held Wills not executed duly to be invalid indicates the importance of proper execution. Why leave your family to solve the legal jigsaw when experts like us can do it meticulously.
Leave all the Will-related hassles to us.
It is our job to identify the assets of the deceased and procure the Grant, Letter of Administration to enable smooth transfer of assets.
We would also help in settling debts and other pending dues of the deceased.
Other additional paperwork like tax returns or business interests will also be taken care of by us.
We are also willing to be appointed as executors of the Will i.e. distribute assets to beneficiaries as per the directions mentioned in the Will.
Your business may suffer a loss but the asset put in the trust will be insulated from any potential legal claims and/or litigations. By adopting this process you can avoid probate process and court legalities.
A trust is a private instrument that is substantially less challengeable than a Will. In fact, with an expert drafting the trust deed, the chances of it being challenged in court can be nil.
Apart from protection that a trust offers, it also allows you to leave behind a detailed investment mandate for the beneficiaries.
We would indulge in intense counselling sessions with you to ensure that the final trust deed that is drafted is legally sound and serves your intention.
Apart from drafting the deed, we will also deal with regulatory authorities to register the deed.
Assistance in procuring Pan card & Bank account for the Trust.
We also offer to safe-keep the Trust Deed with us.
Creating a Trust structure is one part but the job does not end with the drafting and registering of the trust deed. Instead, it is only the beginning as the management of the trust is a continuous process. We are willing to assist you in this as well.
We will manage your trust and ensure that your instructions are carried out.
To make sure there is complete transparency in the management of the trust, we would keep records of each transaction of the Trust.
It will be our job to assist in the smooth transfer of assets to the beneficiaries as well as maintaining all the paperwork related to tax-filing, liabilities and other financial obligations.
More than 85% of business are family-owned businesses. The journey beings with the dream of a visionary entrepreneur who builds a business on the foundation of values and principles that develops into an established enterprise which is governed by set systems and processes.
The visionary sows the entrepreneurial seed and it blossoms into a tree bearing fruits that the whole family enjoys. But despite the inherent strength of a family business, it is always exposed to certain vulnerabilities such as discord between family members, generational transitions, leadership appointments and the like. Such potential threats may eventually cause the blossomed tree to wither away.
For the next generation to be able to enjoy the fruits that you have sown, you must identify factors that establish and propagate the co-existence of several family members, which in turn, will ensure your legacy is carried forward.
Research into Asian family businesses indicates that the majority of the Asian businesses fail because of internal factors rather than external. These internal factors include failure to plan for succession and family conflicts. The surprising fact is that these conflicts are predictable and can be planned for.
We are here to understand your family's distinct arrangement so that a future plan can be designed to help avoid possible conflicts and eventual threats to the business. For instance, the sudden demise of a business leader can leave the strongest of empires vulnerable if one doesn't know who is to take over. This is exactly where we come into the picture.
We work with families to identify effective solutions that would help them in long term. Our role is more of a facilitator who will help you develop a well-crafted family business succession plan(FBSP).

Frederick George Duligal
JANUARY 21, 1930 – MARCH 7, 2015
Jazz-lovers will be deeply saddened at the passing last Saturday of beloved saxophonist FRED DULIGAL. In recent years, he performed often as the headlining featured guest with the resident Canadian Jazz Quartet at Kama on King, and Quotes before that, during the long-running 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. weekly live jazz showcase. Fred was, in fact, the featured guest artist for "Fridays at Five" on October 6, 2006, just three weeks after the incomparable early evening jazz feature was first launched, and throughout the years since, when he wasn't performing, he and his wife Margaret have been there to take in the music almost every week until just recently.
FRED DULIGAL (tenor saxophonist, bassist, clarinetist, flutist, piccolo-player) was born in 1930 in Edinburgh, Scotland. He immigrated to Toronto in 1957, quickly becoming a familiar sight—and sound—in jazz bands featured at clubs and hotels all over the city. An alumnus of the Oscar Peterson Advanced School of Contemporary Music, Duligal led his own group at The Cellar (Toronto) for several years.
He played string bass with the Ian Bargh Trio for nearly two years, and as a tenor saxophonist, has played at jazz festivals all over the world. He was a frequently-featured player with Jim Galloway's Toronto Alive! band which broadcast on CKFM from the Traders Lounge at the downtown Toronto Sheraton Centre throughout the '80s, a gig which saw him working with a lengthy list of jazz legends including Sweets Edison, Zoot Sims, and Jimmy Knepper.
Fred was a member of Guido Basso's Big Band for 11 years, and played with The Spitfire Band since 1985. Just last August, he led his own Trio (with guitarist Lorne Lofsky and bassist Neil Swainson) in a "Year 'Round Jazz Festival" appearance at the Old Mill Toronto's Home Smith Jazz Bar.

On the Ice: NHL Weekly Roundup
It's getting easier to see who might end the season with Stanley Cup glory as we move past the quarter season point in the NHL this year. The weekend was action-packed as always, and we have got news on those results, and our view on how that will impact the games to come.
Let's jump straight into the most significant results and look ahead at what's coming next for those teams.
Arizona Coyotes 3-4 Edmonton Oilers
The Coyotes failed to make ground on the NHL Pacific leaders, and they stay in the second spot. They led this game until the last period before a slip in concentration allowed the Oilers back into it, forcing the game into overtime. The Coyotes need to pick themselves up fast and get a win in the next game against the Ducks, and we are backing them to do it.
Our prediction
Arizona Coyotes to turn things around against the Anaheim Ducks
The Oilers needed that victory to keep their lead at the top of the standings, and they left it late. It looked like the odds were against them even as they forced the game into overtime. This was the first shootout defeat the Coyotes have suffered all season long. In the end, they managed it, and now they need a much more assured performance in their next appearance against the Avalanche. We can't decide who will win that one but are edging towards the Oilers to come out on top.
Edmonton Oilers to win again next time out against the Colorado Avalanche
Florida Panthers 2-5 Buffalo Sabres
This was a game full of disappointment for the Panthers as they were outplayed and undone by the better team on the night. It was a chance for the Panthers to pile pressure on the Bruins, above them in the NHL Atlantic, but it now goes down as their second loss in a row. At this point in the NHL season, a 12-7-5 record is still way better than average. There is added pressure on them to win next time out when they play the Capitals. It's a tall order, and we are betting on a third straight defeat for Florida.
Another defeat on the cards for the Florida Panthers against the Washington Capitals
This result was not supposed to be on the cards for the Sabres, who are around the middle of the same division. Before the game started, we backed the Panthers to win again, but the Sabres had other ideas as they completed their eleventh successful outing this season. It was effectively a non-contest after they scored four goals in the first two periods, and expectations are also high for the next game against the Lightning. We predict another win for the Sabres in that matchup.
Buffalo Sabres to take the win against Tampa Bay Lightning
Detroit Red Wings 0-2 Carolina Hurricanes
The season keeps going from bad to worse for the Red Wings, and this was another game they barely showed up for. They never looked like getting anything out of this one, capitulating to the Hurricanes to lose their sixth in a row. Detroit is now rock bottom of the NHL Atlantic, and we can't see that changing meaningfully this season. Next up is a game they could win against the Maple Leafs, but we aren't touching it.
Yet another loss in store for Detroit Red Wings against Toronto Maple Leafs
San Jose Sharks 2-1 New York Islanders
This on was the surprise of the round thanks to the Sharks, and the Islanders have to go home and lick their wounds before coming back to fight again. It was the second win in two games for the Sharks, and that makes their season look better than it has been. Can they complete another impressive victory in the next game when they play the Kings? We're having a cheeky punt on them doing just that.
San Jose Sharks set for another win against Los Angeles Kings
It's time for the Islanders to take stock and try to put this blip behind them. Their general performance has been far better than this, and they are still in contention for the Stanley Cup, despite not winning against the Sharks here. It should be business as usual next time out against the Kings, and we are on them to win that matchup.
New York Islanders to get back to winning ways against the Los Angeles Kings
Make sure you come back and check in with us again later for more updates on everything happening in the NHL. We will have our weekly predictions for you, so don't miss out on those insights that could make you money.
The NHL this year is turning out to be one of the best we have seen. It would take a brave Hockey fan to look away now, so keep your eyes peeled for more from us, and enjoy the NHL season while it lasts. It will be a long summer, as always!

There are a lot of different ways to get started.
If you belong to a local church you can see about renting space from them to start your program. They may even allow you to tell the church members about your program (free advertising).
You could also visit a local gym or health club and see if they are willing to rent space to you. this type of space is usually limited and can cost a lot depending on the club environment. I have stared organizations both ways. The church route was much easier and the church actually helped to promote our program. We have since moved from the church and are in our own 4000 sqare foot facility.
Finding a space is just one thing to take into consideration. You also need to think about insurance, forming a corporation or other legal entity , advirtsing and a great deal more. Far too often a good teacher will start a school and fail because they don't understand everything that goes into the business side of running a school. Find a mentor or someone who can help you think through your plans and give you advice. This way you can learn from their mistakes and not make them on your own.
thanks for the advise. I used to take martial arts through my church when I was a kid before I switched to the school I am at now. Maybe that is the best rought for me.
how much money can I expect to make in the first year?
should I supply epuiptment or have them by their own?
I'm just curious, what's your Rank?
I have been training for about 10 years and have reached the 2nd degree in tae kwon do. I also have some training in chinees martial arts and Brazilian Ju Jitsu as well as weapons.
I ran a part-time program through a YMCA for about 5 years and had a great experience doing it. The issue of insurance and also liability waivers for students are very important on the "business" side. Also, I think you have to actively recruit students and raise awareness about your program.


Classic chocolate truffles are sinfully indulgent, melt-in-your-mouth, bite-sized confections made from ganache (an emulsion of chocolate and heavy cream). Truffles sometimes include butter, as well as spices, coffee or tea, liqueurs, nuts, and even fruit purées for flavor.
Vegan Bittersweet Chocolate Truffles, also based on ganache, are just as luxurious, velvety smooth, and indulgent—but not sinful. A variety of nondairy milks replace the heavy cream and no butter is added. And here is the best part: After making and tasting hundreds of truffles made with nondairy milks, I am convinced they taste more intensely chocolaty than their heavy cream–based cousins.
Roll in the truffles in cocoa powder. Add a pinch of flaked sea salt if desired.
Alternatively, coat the truffles in chopped nuts or cacao nibs, seeds, coconut.

You can only use SurveyMonkey to send emails to lists of people that gave you permission to email them. If you don't have proof that each recipient on your list opted in for your emails, don't import them into SurveyMonkey.
We prohibit the use of harvested mailing lists. SurveyMonkey will terminate accounts violating this prohibition.
We prohibit the use of third-party, purchased, or rented mailing lists unless you are able to provide proof that individuals on the list have opted-in to receiving emails of the type you will be sending them.
You must not send unsolicited mail to newsgroups, message boards, distribution lists, or email addresses.
You must not utilize a survey to send any commercial electronic mail messages (as defined in the CAN-SPAM Act of 2003) to any recipient who has opted out, unsubscribed, or otherwise objected to receiving such messages from you or another party on whose behalf you may be commissioned. If you intend on sending commercial emails, you should familiarize yourself with the CAN-SPAM Act, which outlines requirements under United States law for sending out such emails, and any other applicable anti-spam laws.
You must not use SurveyMonkey to send emails with deceptive subject lines or false or misleading header information.

Christy-Anne is welcoming her baby into this world & will be on maternity leave until May.
Christy made me a beautiful necklace, following my daughter's design wonderfully. I am absolutely delighted with it and hope to buy more beautiful designs, despite living thousands of miles away.
I visited her studio while on holiday from Australia and couldn't resist buying one of her beautiful pieces!! I contacted Christy-Anne when back home and she went out of her way to organise a special delivery to family in Durban for me! Thanks so much!
Christy-Anne made my order to very high specification and in a very short time frame...and she made it perfectly!
Incredible service, and what amazing jewellery!
