Malaysia is nearly upon us and managers have until 23:00 Thursday 26th to finalise their teams.
So what have you done, made changes to your line up, worked on setup and development or decided to go for the money? It's a hard choice but here are a few things to consider.
Last year it was nip and tuck between Hamilton and Rosberg, but in 2014 Lewis ruled here. I wouldn't bet against Hamilton taking the win again.
Alonso should be back and we have seen from the past that no matter what car he is in, he's fast. But McLaren looked woeful in Australia and with it having been just two weeks I can't see him turning things around.
Renault engines had a tough weekend in the first round, with one car failing to start. Their reliability hit some managers hard affecting drivers from both Red Bull and Toro Rosso. However the Toro Rosso is looking good value for money and seems to be almost a match for the vastly more expensive Red Bulls.
With any luck Manor should be racing this weekend, with their software issues resolved. They are running with last years Ferrari engine and this could turn out one of two ways. It's reliable and they could pick up points benefiting from others misfortune or it could be just too slow. If the latter is the case will we see issues with the 107% rule and neither being allowed to start the race?
The weather in Malaysia often plays a factor and the 2015 GP will be no exception. Rain is forecast and when it rains in Malaysia, it really rains. These could be conditions that really mix up the field and allow for the likes of Button to put the McLaren in a position it really doesn't warrant.
Remember, if you didn't get your team in for Round 1, not all is lost. You can play from Round 2 and there will be an overall league for scores from then, but you must pick a team before 23:00 tomorrow.


"Don't practice yoga to get better at yoga; practice yoga to get better at living."
Rebel Yoga is a local, family owned boutique studio located in Broken Arrow, OK. Classes are taught by Brent and Amanda, a husband and wife team that founded Rebel Yoga with the belief that yoga is much more than a set of poses. It's what you learn about yourself, both mentally and physically, while getting to that pose. Then taking the insight that was gained 'on the mat' into your life 'off the mat'. This is where real change occurs and the true practice of yoga happens.
With these intentions in mind, Brent and Amanda have created a boutique studio that is an intimate setting for participants. With no more than 8 students in a class at a time, there is opportunity for personal attention and connection to others in the room. Classes are designed to mentally and physically awaken, strengthen, and empower. Incorporated in each class are thought-provoking messages, meditation, and personal inquiry that lead practitioners to powerful insights. Practitioners focus on what is happening in their body, what is going through their mind, and taking place in their heart. Then, they take that knowledge off the mat and into their lives, creating powerful, lasting changes.
Whether you are new to yoga or have a regular practice, there is a class for you. Remember: you don't have to be experienced at yoga. You don't have to be thin. Or fit. Or young. You only need an open mind, a big smile, and the willingness to begin right where you are. It is a perfect place to be.

I travel a ton through the San Francisco airport where there is an American Express Centurion lounge. This particular lounge has a wine tasting machine that includes some very delectable offerings such as this lovely Carneros Pinot Noir. Sorry about the poor image quality but I had to shoot through the glass of the vending machine.
Very opaque, on the lighter side of purple. The nose is very much New World- strawberries, nutmeg and a touch of anise. The initial taste is very easygoing, delicate and fruity with framboise, strawberry and barely a trace of acidity or tannins at this stage. The mid palate has a slightly green edge to it and this is where I detect some tannic components as well as a balancing acidity- both of which are very mild. This wine has elegance and seduction, is very understated yet somewhat complex and nicely crafted. The finish has a decent length to it and comprises of more strawberry and now a touch of bing cherry. Tannins are present till the very end. 90 points, $20 make this a 4 star wine to drink from now till 2022 with grilled salmon, veal scallopini or just some good cheese and meat cuts. Salut….

Tax Tip: In Uncertain Times, Don't Be Scared of Tax Extensions
Earlier this year, our Insights and Commentary team asked what tax practitioners needed to know—from tax tips to topics to watch out for—to start the new year off right. This week, we're publishing some of the best submissions.
This tip was submitted by Adam Markowitz of Howard L. Markowitz PA CPA.
Most tax professionals don't want to think about a third consecutive extended tax season. However, with Build Back Better on the horizon and lessons learned from last year's surprises from the American Rescue Plan Act, the best tools that tax preparers have this year may be Forms 4868 and 7004.
The House-passed Build Back Better Act does not include all of the sweeping tax changes that many in the tax profession were expecting. Higher tax brackets, corporate tax rates, and capital gains rates? None are in the bill. But that doesn't mean that any or all of those won't find their way into a potential final bill.
As a result, options like SEP IRA funding or waiting on the election for accelerated depreciation may be in order for 2021.
There's nothing wrong with making a payment with an extension and waiting. Tax pros would benefit from having the final text from Build Back Better in place if it does become law. They will also have an idea of how 2022 will be playing out for their clients to determine how they want to handle potential facets of 2021 tax returns that will affect future tax years.

Daniel Crane (guest article): Democracy and Monopoly in Governments, Markets, and Firms
As previously announced, I am incredibly happy and honored to publish guest articles authored by some of the world's most renowned antitrust scholars every month of the year 2020. The one for February has been written by Daniel A. Crane, Frederick Paul Furth Sr. Professor of Law at the University of Michigan, and it explores the topic of "Democracy and Monopoly in Governments, Markets, and Firms." I am confident that you will enjoy reading it as much as I did. It opens up new perspectives. Dan, thank you very much!
All the best, Thibault Schrepel
Democracy and Monopoly in Governments, Markets, and Firms
My ongoing research on democracy and monopoly has me thinking about the relationship between concentrated economic power across organizational boundaries, particularly governments, markets, and firms. This thought started as I researched the relationship between highly concentrated economic power (through cartels and monopolies) in Weimar and Nazi Germany and the rise of the Third Reich (see my forthcoming article Fascism and Monopoly). I was looking for, and found, abundant evidence that highly concentrated economic power facilitated the extreme concentration of political power in the Nazi Party and the person of Adolf Hitler. But what I also found, at first tangentially and then because I began to look for it, was evidence that, as power consolidated dramatically in government and markets, it also consolidated dramatically within the boundaries of the firm. Two examples:
First, the IG Farben chemical conglomerate formed as a tight cartel between the major German chemical companies in the early twentieth century and then, in 1925, merged into a single corporate firm. However, for the remainder of the Weimar period and into the early Third Reich, the power remained relatively decentralized within the firm. The company's 46 distinct subsidiaries continued to have significant autonomy; there were numbers managing and supervisory boards; records, reports and audits were widely circulated and available. But, as the firm first threw its support behind the rising Nazi regime and then became intertwined in the regime, it moved to consolidate power in the company. By 1937-38, the company reorganized to centralize power in a few senior managers: the 46 once distinct subsidiaries were absorbed into the main enterprise, the number of managing and supervising board members was reduced, the governing powers of the firm's Central Committee were largely transferred to the company's president, company minutes and records ceased to be widely circulated, and board members were denied access to financial reports.
Similarly, before the Third Reich, the Krupp armaments firm had been family owned and controlled for centuries, but its corporate form allowed for some degree of influence by external directors. After managerial conflicts arose during the war, Alfried Krupp made a personal appeal to Hitler for the firm to be reorganized by state decree, arguing that "the concentration of responsibility in a single head, especially in critical times . . . cannot be valued highly enough." On November 12, 1943, a Fuhrer decree that became known as "Lex Krupp" specified that "the owner of the Krupp family wealth is empowered to create a family enterprise with a particular regulation of succession." The decree resulted in a complete centralization of corporate power in the Krupp family.
From the economic history of late nineteenth and early twentieth-century Germany, a pattern seems to emerge of cascading effects of concentrating power. Farben and Krupp were very different firms in terms of corporate structure (one was widely held, the other family-owned) and they arrived a market dominance through very different paths (Farben through cartelization and merger, Krupp through economic cronyism with the German military, a willingness to buck the Treaty of Versailles and lead re-armament, and unilateral exclusionary conduct). But, in both cases, their achievement of market dominance put them in a position to enable to consolidation of political power by aiding the Nazi regime, and that in turn contributed to a concentration of power within the firm. The progression seems to be Concentration of Market Power → Concentration of Political Power → Concentration of Intra-Firm Power.
But then I wonder whether there is anything special to this order of progression, or whether market power, political power, and intra-firm power are generally complementary and mutually reinforcing. In the usual way of things economically, an increase in price of one thing reduces the demand for its complements, but the converse is true as well. If extreme concentrations of power within markets, governments, and firms are interrelated necessities to the extreme concentration of power over society as a whole, it stands to reason that, as dominance is achieved in any one of these quarters, it becomes easier to consolidate power in the other quarters as well.
To be clear, I am very far from being able to make any sort of a strong empirical claim about these relationships. For now, I am pondering a potential set of relationships which could prove consequential to better understanding the interplay between economic power and democracy.

Derek Damian
Official Biography (courtesy of Derek Damian)
R&B artist Derek Damian is a singer, songwriter with multiple talents and gifts. He has had a love for music since he was 7 years old. He started singing in plays when he was in school, but it wasn't until the 90's when he moved to California from Iowa when his singing career began. He has sung with an R&B music group called Phaze 3. He also had a compilation album thru an entertainment company / RCA records, It was called "Phuture Flava" and it featured such artist as Rome, Christopher Williams, and Chante Savage. He writes, produces R&B and hip-hop as well as record. He has worked with such artist as Sean Rivera from the group AZ YET, Sean Kristopher, and many other talented producers. His singing background comes from his father Harry Elston which was part of an old school group called the "Friends of Distinction" whose hits included the original "Going In Circles", and "Grazing in the Grass", which has been used in many movies and commercials. He is constantly producing new R&B songs and hip hop tracks. Music is Derek Damian's life, passion, and heart.

"I feel the industry of music is in need of that deep stylish baritone voice with swag that can bring the love back to the music." With the passing of some of the great artist mentioned he definitely feels that's what God brought him here to do.

Learn about ADHD and Improving Focus
DiscoverHealth & WellbeingLearn about ADHD and Improving Focus
In this episode, I discuss ADHD (Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder): what it is, the common myths, and the biology and psychology of ADHD.
I discuss both behavioral and pharmacologic treatments for ADHD, and brain-machine interface tools. I also discuss behavioral training protocols that can improve focus in people with ADHD and those without ADHD, and for people of different ages. I discuss the role of dopamine in coordinating 'default-mode' and 'task-related' neural networks, attentional "blinks" (lapses of attention) and how to overcome them, and the role of actual blinks in time perception and attention. Finally, I review some of the prescription and over-the-counter compounds for increasing focus such as Adderall, Ritalin, Modafinil and Armodafinil, the racetams, Alpha-GPC and phosphatidylserine and the role of diet for managing ADHD (and the controversies of diet for ADHD). The role of cell phones/technology in ADHD and ADHD-like challenges with focus are also discussed. Throughout, both basic science and clinical scenarios, as well as applicable tools and resources are covered.

Women First Appear on the English Stage Summary
Since the Middle Ages, women were banned from the stage in England. That tradition was broken when women appeared in Ben Jonson and Inigo Jones's court masque Chloridia. Indeed, Henrietta Maria, queen consort of England, performed in the masque as Chloris. England thus joined in the reintroduction of actresses into the theater that had been taking place across Europe throughout the seventeenth century.
An English court masque was a special theatrical event usually produced at court for a holiday or some other festive occasion. Inigo Jones, Jones, Inigo who had studied in Italy, was a theatrical producer and visual designer who teamed with the playwright Ben Jonson Jonson, Ben to produce some thirty court masques between 1608 and 1631. It was in their final effort, Chloridia Chloridia (Jonson) (pr., pb. 1631), that a woman first appeared on the English stage in the role of Chloris. That woman was none other than Henrietta Maria Henrietta Maria , queen consort of England and the sister of King Louis XIII Louis XIII of France. According to the first edition's title page, Chloris and her nymphs were "personated in a masque, at Court, by the Queenes Majesty and her ladies, at Shrove-Tide, 1630." (Because the Julian year began on March 25 rather than January 1, Shrovetide, or February 14-16, 1630, in the Julian calendar took place February 24-26, 1631, according to the modern Gregorian calendar.) [kw]Women First Appear on the English Stage (Feb. 24, 1631) [kw]Stage, Women First Appear on the English (Feb. 24, 1631) [kw]English Stage, Women First Appear on the (Feb. 24, 1631) Theater;Feb. 24, 1631: Women First Appear on the English Stage[1140] Cultural and intellectual history;Feb. 24, 1631: Women First Appear on the English Stage[1140] England;Feb. 24, 1631: Women First Appear on the English Stage[1140] Theater;England Theater;women in Women;theater and
The first performance of Chloridia thus ended a centuries-long tradition of banning women from the stage under stricture from the Church. England thus joined other European countries, such as Italy, Spain, and France, that had allowed actresses in professional companies for many years. Indeed, throughout Europe in the seventeenth century, women were slowly becoming not only professional actresses but important leaders of major acting troupes as well. Despite the importance of Queen Henrietta Maria's theatrical performance as a first step in this direction, however, the tradition of men performing in women's roles would not change in England until after the Restoration in 1660.
It is difficult to say exactly when the first actresses appeared on the European continent, but women were prominent members of Italian commedia dell'arte companies as early as the latter half of the sixteenth century. One of the most important commedia actresses was Isabella Andreini, Andreini, Isabella who debuted on stage in 1577. Theater;Italy Andreini and her husband, Francesco Andreini, Andreini, Francesco jointly managed the famous Gelosi Company Gelosi Company , which toured throughout Italy and France. When Francesco died, Isabella took over as manager of the company until her death in 1604. She thus set the standard for actresses to measure up to in the seventeenth century.
In 1587, a license was issued by the Church in Spain making it legal for women to appear on stage. Many women took advantage of this new freedom, including Jusepa Vaca, Vaca, Jusepa the leading lady of the great Spanish playwright Lope de Vega Carpio Vega Carpio, Lope de , who is considered the "Spanish Shakespeare." Perhaps the most famous actress of seventeenth century Spain Theater;Spain Spain;theater was Maria Calderon Calderon, Maria , known as La Calderona. Maria Calderon ultimately became mistress to the king and mother of the famous Don Juan of Austria Don Juan of Austria .
It was French actresses, however, who would have the most important influence on English theater, and there is some evidence that as early as 1629 women appeared in a French acting company that was touring England. Among the earliest of the French seventeenth century actresses was Marie Venier Venier, Marie (fl. 1590-1619), who was featured at the Hotel D'Argent Theater, but it was Armande Béjart, Béjart, Armande wife of the great actor-playwright Molière Molière , who would become the most influential of the French actresses. Theater;France Upon Molière's death in 1673, Béjart became the virtual head of his acting company and remained in that position until the creation of the Comédie Française Comédie Française in 1680. Thereafter and for most of the rest of the century, Marie Champmeslé Champmeslé, Marie became the greatest star on the French stage.
During the Puritan Commonwealth in England, Prince Charles had taken refuge in France. When the Stuart monarchy was restored in 1660, the newly crowned King Charles II Charles II (king of England);theater and imported several French conventions, including allowing female theatrical performers. The innovation made in 1631 by the former Queen Henrietta Maria, herself a member of the French nobility, was almost immediately renewed and expanded. When William Davenant Davenant, William formed the first professional acting company of Restoration England, he hired Mary Saunderson as his leading actress, so that it is possible that the distinction of being the first professional English actress may fall to her. Davenant's leading man was Thomas Betterton, Betterton, Thomas now thought to be the greatest actor of his day. Saunderson and Betterton soon married, and Mary Betterton Betterton, Mary played all the major roles opposite her husband, in addition to assuming the co-management of his theatrical troupe, the United Company United Company . She was most applauded for her Lady Macbeth to Betterton's Macbeth.
Soon, Mary Betterton acquired several important rivals, the most renowned of whom was Elizabeth Barry Barry, Elizabeth . Considered among the greatest actresses of her day, Barry performed both serious roles, in plays such as John Dryden's All for Love: Or, The World Well Lost (pr. 1677, pb. 1678), and roles in Restoration comedies by writers such as Aphra Behn, Behn, Aphra England's first professional woman playwright. Barry also performed in so-called breeches roles, that is, male roles played by women performers, so that the actresses could reveal their legs. (Men's breeches at the time typically ended at the knee and revealed the lower leg, while women's legs were always hidden under long skirts.)
Two other actresses were known for breeches roles, Nell Gwyn Gwyn, Nell and Mrs. Anne Bracegirdle Bracegirdle, Mrs. Anne . Gwyn began her career selling oranges to theater audiences. When she finally obtained a breeches role in 1665 at the age of fifteen, she was immediately hailed for her beauty and comic timing. Before long, she became the mistress of King Charles II and bore him a son, who was created duke of St. Albans.
It was Bracegirdle, however, who was to become the most praised actress of her generation and who was to bring the seventeenth century to its close. She flourished as an actress from 1688 to 1707. Like her contemporaries, Bracegirdle played some breeches roles, but she was mainly known for her "good woman" creations, such as William Shakespeare's Shakespeare, William Ophelia in Hamlet, Prince of Denmark Hamlet, Prince of Denmark (Shakespeare) (pr. c. 1600-1601) and Desdemona, in Othello, the Moor of Venice Othello, the Moor of Venice (Shakespeare) (pr. 1604, revised 1623). By the time Bracegirdle retired from the stage, at least one hundred women had acted professionally in England.
When Henrietta Maria decided to appear in a court masque, she broke a long-standing taboo in English society. In doing so, the queen consort most likely saw herself merely as following the precedent of female performers already prevalent in her home country of France. Her boldness, however, planted the seeds for the English ban on female performers to be shattered in the second half of the seventeenth century, as female performers instead of boys began to play women's parts.
Indeed, in seventeenth century continental Europe, women not only performed on stage but also managed several of the major acting companies. When Charles II returned from exile in France, he followed Queen Henrietta Maria's lead and insisted that women be allowed on stage. There followed in England a great blossoming of female theatrical talent, led by Mary Betterton. Although no actresses were performing in England in 1660, the next forty years saw almost one hundred actresses at work on the London stage, and, indeed, this wealth of female talent helped to establish the career of Aphra Behn, the first professional female playwright in England, and to open the door for women in other related professional pursuits.

UPDATE 3-Valeant goes hostile, to launch Allergan exchange offer this week
(Adds Allergan comment)
By Rod Nickel
June 17 (Reuters) - Valeant Pharmaceuticals Inc said on Tuesday it will launch an exchange offer for Allergan Inc this week, allowing it to eventually take the unsolicited bid directly to shareholders.
Botox-maker Allergan has rejected Valeant's offer of cash and shares, but Valeant Chief Executive Officer Mike Pearson said he sees no reason to adjust the bid a third time. Valeant shares have lost ground for 10 straight sessions through Monday, reducing the value of its Allergan bid to about $50.8 billion from $53.8 billion on May 30.
"Hostile is not our preferred approach," Pearson said. "But this deal was so strategic and financially compelling that it really makes sense."
Valeant's stock is "artificially depressed," Pearson said, after weeks of criticism by Allergan and some analysts.
Shares of Valeant rose 0.2 percent at $118 on the New York Stock Exchange in early trading. Allergan stock was up 0.5 percent at $160.12.
Valeant held a webcast to rebut Allergan's latest criticism and clarify steps toward a hostile takeover, which could drag into 2015.
Allergan's biggest shareholder, Pershing Square Capital Management, intends to mail proxy materials as early as this month to seek a special meeting later this year to change most of Allergan's board, Valeant said.
At the same time, Pershing is suing Allergan to confirm its special meeting would not trigger the company's poison pill takeover defense.
To trigger a special meeting, Pershing needs to gain additional support of shareholders representing 15.3 percent of Allergan's ownership, topping up its own 9.7 percent stake for a total of 25 percent.
Valeant Chief Financial Officer Howard Schiller said the company is confident enough Allergan shareholders will support calling the meeting, noting that more than half of Allergan's shares have traded since word of Valeant's initial offer leaked on April 21. Hedge funds and arbitrageurs who are interested in a deal now own a large percentage of Allergan, Schiller said.
In a statement, Allergan spokeswoman Bonnie Jacobs said;"We are confident Allergan can create significantly more value for stockholders than Valeant's proposal, which substantially undervalues the company, creates significant risks and uncertainties for Allergan's stockholders and is not in the best interests of the company and its stockholders."
Assuming Allergan shareholders remove most of the board at the meeting by the end of 2014, Valeant said holders of at least 10 percent of Allergan shares can then apply to court for another meeting to elect replacement directors, a process that could take another two months.
The new Allergan board could then negotiate a deal with Valeant and close its exchange offer.
The battle of words and presentation slides between the two companies has ranged from Valeant's acquisition-focused business model and accounting methods to Allergan's research and development costs. On Monday, the saga took a surprising twist when Allergan released private email comments it received from Morgan Stanley. The investment bank, which was pitching to advise Allergan before Valeant hired it, was quoted by Allergan calling Valeant a "house of cards."
Pearson said Allergan's move was "just a little bit of noise" and Morgan Stanley continues to advise Valeant.

I know the ruse when it comes to writing a book. It's a long process and it's by far not the easiest thing to do. Couple writing with life which consists of a dreaded (and often stupid) day job, housekeeping, and anything else life throws at us and we're lucky to have time to write a paragraph a day if that. Because of this, we might feel handing out a free series starter or e-books means writing is more of a love of the labor these days than helping means make an end.
But I'm here to tell you it's not the case.
What if I told you that your freebies will lead to something greater over time, especially if you've written a series?
On my Lord of Columbia Series Site, you can clearly see I've done this with the Neo Skyehawk Series being set to permanently free, mainly on Prolific Works, but also anywhere not named Amazon, but only because you have to fight with Amazon to set a book for free and that takes a while.
My Neo Skyehawk Series is nothing more than a set of free novelettes/novellas related to the parent Lord of Columbia Series. It serves as a bit of a history lesson, which connects the two series.
As I mentioned above, freebies lead to something greater over time.
People will pay for something so they can binge, but if you're an author who's independent or a no-name why would anyone in their right mind buy your books if there are zero reviews and have only sold a few copies?
Sure, your cover and description might be captivating but what am I getting if I open the book?
I don't know because no one in the review section told me anything. I couldn't trust the book, and most people won't.
There's nothing wrong with people as to why they aren't buying your book.
They WILL buy your book, or books and yes, you can and will make a living on being an indie-author, but will likely take two to four years to get to that point, which is why most indie-authors give up on making a living off their writing.
Think about it: traditionally published authors go through the same ruse and torment, as once a book is accepted for publication, it usually takes about two years before it's on store shelves.
Indies aren't getting charged extra. We just upload our books onto Amazon and other platforms without editorial or any kind of reviews. At least if we're just starting out and haven't taken the last three years to build an author platform. Some indies sell a lot of copies of their first book early on, yes, but bear in mind it's highly likely they spent years building a platform first. Again, it evens out.
Is there a connection between platform building and freebies?
Or, you can do like me and upload a couple paid works to Amazon, then create your freebies as freebies are excellent platform-building methods.
Lord of Columbia Series is also a great way to build a platform in addition to this site.
And social media will freaking love you as well.
Because if I'm on Twitter and scrolling down my newsfeed I'm much more likely to download a freebie e-book Author X has uploaded to Prolific Works or wherever and more likely to stop following that annoying Author Y who keeps dishing out their Amazon buy link every three hours.
So, if I download, read, and like the book, Author X gained a fan and probably an email address to add to their ever-growing list of email addresses that they can then send a mass email to any time a new book is released.
Prolific Works lets you connect your email provider as well, so this works in a smooth manner.
Notice how I barely mentioned social media except as a means to dish out free offerings to your followers. Sure, it's important and all, but having a couple blogs plus a digital item to hand out is going to take your platform so much further than talking about writing on social media.
Google is a powerful tool, so if you get indexed in Google, think about how many searches for your article's keywords that happen every single day.
For instance, 'free series starter' is a keyword here. If you have the right keyword tool, you can find how many people search for your chosen keyword on a monthly basis. If 400 people search for it, that's 400 possible eyes on this article per month, and this doesn't count the other articles I've written.
When this blog matures and I have over one-thousand articles, and say my keyword searches average 200 searches each, that's 200,000 possible eyes per month, and 2,400,000 possible eyes per year. If even one percent of that number clicked through to my site, it's 2,000 visitors per month. Not a great number, but definitely 2,000 possible fans per month.
Now imagine if I have something for them.
While an actual book or books can go a long way, if you're still uncomfortable with handing them out, your freebie can still be something else. Perhaps you created a world and you have notes that you used to build the world. You can use it as a freebie.
Maybe you want to create something to give readers a behind-the-scenes look at your work.
There are so many possibilities here it's endless. Even exclusive inside looks to your books, or the making of your book. You might even hand them deleted scenes or earlier drafts of your book.
I like handing out the Neo Skyehawk novelettes because while they're still challenging to make, they're far easier than actual novels. Also, Neo, Seneca, and many others from the series are mentioned in Lord of Columbia when the parent series' important plot points intersect with it, so to tell the actual story piques a reader's interest, but that's my preference. Yours can be anything.


E-Tron GT coming in 2020 together with a new electric compact car.
Audi previewed the road-going E-Tron with a namesake concept back in September 2015 at the Frankfurt Motor Show and then introduced the prototype pictured here in March this year in Geneva. Now, the four-ring company is getting ready to unveil the final version. It will happen on August 30 on the occasion of the Audi Summit in Brussels, Belgium where the model will also be produced. The fully electric E-Tron crossover will usher in the company's new ambitious EV plan to sell around 800,000 electrified cars per year by the middle of the next decade.
We already know a great deal about the model, including probably the most important fact: range. A couple of weeks ago, Audi announced the production version of the E-Tron will cover 248.5 miles (400 kilometers) in the upcoming Worldwide harmonized Light vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP), which will be significantly closer to reality than the optimistic NEDC.
It will be possible thanks to a large 95-kWh lithium-ion battery pack mounted within the vehicle's floor and rechargeable in just 30 minutes by using a high-power charging station. Audi promises that by the end of the year, there are going to be almost 200 high-power charging (HPC) stations with six charging points each in Europe. These are part of a greater scheme to have 400 stations at intervals of 74 miles (120 km) on highways and important transport routes on the old continent by 2020.
When connected to a 400 volt three-phase outlet with a power of up to 11 kW, completely recharging the battery pack is going to take eight and a half hours. Audi will sell an optional connect charging system to double the charging power to 22 kW.
In 2019, the sleeker E-Tron Sportback will be added to Audi's EV portfolio and it will be built at the same factory in Brussels. Looking into the company's future, Audi Sport will roll out a stylish E-Tron GT in 2020 when Audi is going to introduce a new "electric model in the premium compact segment." While the identity of the latter hasn't been disclosed, one could speculate it will be an EV version of the next-generation A3.
Meanwhile, Audi has reiterated that later this year we will also get to see a hot SQ2, a China-only Q2 L, and the Q8 flagship SUV.
As the brand's first fully electric volume model, the Audi e-tron SUV will have its world premiere at the Audi Summit in Brussels on August 30. With the rapid expansion of the portfolio of fully electric cars and plug-in hybrids in each model range, the company aims to sell approximately 800,000 electrified automobiles per annum by 2025. For the production version of the Audi e-tron prototype, customers will for the first time be able to book various functions flexibly online. In total, the brand aims to generate an annual contribution to operating profit of €1 billion with digital services via the myAudi customer portal by the year 2025.
Audi is also developing an integrated IT platform for vehicle connectivity and digital services. By means of a shared high-performance backend, the models from Audi and the other brands of the Volkswagen Group will be usable compatibly; this means for example that customers' settings and content will be smoothly transferred between the automobiles of the various Group brands.
With its successfully started Action and Transformation Plan, Audi aims to achieve positive earnings effects totaling €10 billion by 2022 through reduced costs and new sources of revenue. Audi is systematically prioritizing the resources gained from efficiency progress for innovations with high customer relevance as well as Vorsprung durch Technik in the competitive arena.
In the current financial year, Audi is rejuvenating and expanding its model portfolio with more than 20 new market launches. The new Audi design language and the new, fully digital operating concept in the interior will be introduced in all segments, starting with the premium full-size class. Following the launch of the new A8 in late 2017 and the A7 in March 2018 in first markets, a new top model will come onto the market as of the middle of this year: the new generation of the A6. By 2020, Audi plans to increase its unit sales in the brand-defining full-size segment by about 50 percent. Before the end of this year, the two high-end SUVs, the Q8 and the Audi e-tron, will extend the Four Rings' product offering in this prestigious segment.
Audi will launch new sporty SUVs also in the compact and midsize segments in 2018, thus significantly strengthening its market position for premium SUVs, for which demand is strong all over the world. In addition to the new Q3 generation, the sporty SQ2* will have its premiere in the coming months. In China, Audi SUVs will be available for the first time as long-wheelbase versions: the Q2 L and the Q5 L. By the end of 2019, Audi will launch a total of eleven new SUVs, including further models without predecessors such as the Audi Q4, which is to be launched next year.
At Lamborghini, this year features the market launch of the world's first super SUV: The Lamborghini Urus (Combined fuel consumption in l/100 km: 12.3; Combined CO2-emissions in g/km: 279**) will be delivered to the first customers this summer. Before it is even in the showrooms, advance orders have been received for the model in just one month in the volume of the total production in 2018. Ducati is continuing the expansion of its portfolio this year with five new motorcycles, including two without any predecessors. The Ducati Panigale V4 is the first bike to put racetrack technology on the road in the form of a four-cylinder series-produced engine, and the Scrambler 1100 extends the scrambler series, which is particularly popular with younger customers.
The large number of model launches and phase-outs in the context of the Audi model initiative, which will be particularly intensive in the second half of the year, will at first have a negative impact this year. Further challenges will result in 2018 from industry-wide homologation requirements in connection with the changeover to the Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure (WLTP).
In the first quarter of 2018, the Audi Group achieved revenue of €15,320 million (2017: €14,378 million) and operating profit of €1,300 million (2017: €1,244 million). The first-time adoption of new IFRS accounting standards led to a negative impact of approximately €0.1 billion on operating profit. The operating return on sales for the period of January through March was 8.5 percent (2017: 8.7 percent). Despite high upfront expenditures for new models, technologies and production equipment, the net cash flow amounted to €1,919 million (2017: €1,487 million).
For full-year 2018, AUDI AG maintains its target of an operating return on sales within the strategic target corridor of 8 to 10 percent, despite its ambitious agenda and challenging conditions. The company anticipates deliveries of Audi automobiles at the record level of 2017, when 1,878,105 automobiles were handed over to customers. Revenue at the Audi Group should rise slightly from last year's level of €60,128 million. As forecast in the current annual report, there may be considerable fluctuations in deliveries and financial key figures during the year.

8 Comments on "Audi E-Tron Electric SUV To Make Production-Form Debut In August"
I want that exact paint scheme. Super cool.
Agreed. They should offer this as option.
Wonder how the e-Tron, the iX3 and the i-Pace position themselves price wise. It is starting to look like the iX3 might be significantly cheaper than the other two just by looking at the battery sizes.
iPace starts at 77000EUR in NL, price is from their website.
E-Tron is supposed to start at around 80000EUR, iX3 my guess is around 60000EUR. prices including Netherlands VAT.
Interesting. The US price of the i-Pace is $70,000. That would likely put the e-Tron a little above that in the 75k range and potentially the iX3 in the 55k+ Range.
Miles per kwh not so good on that e-tron. Range 248.5 is stupid to say especially the 0.5. Maybe people actually believe these numbers; better to say rang is 200 to 300 miles depending on driving speed/style and less in cold or very hot weather.
If Audi, et al, ever dump fun cars, for "eyes on screens" revenues, just give me the poison hemlock.

I know I know my plan was to build up cash and stay away from investing for the next few months. But I just couldn't help myself since I hadn't made any purchases since back in November 2014. I was sitting on about $5k cash in my brokerage account and had targeted some companies trading near price levels that I feel are good long-term entry points and went ahead and set some limit orders. Don't worry I still have an ample emergency fund and now that I have income coming in again I'll be able to build it up a bit quicker. I'd been trying to find some higher yielding companies that also have clear runways to continue increasing the dividend at a solid rate.
On Wednesday, March 4th I initiated a new position in Ventas, Inc. (VTR). Ventas is a real estate investment trust that leases out properties in the healthcare industry. There's a lot of worry about what will happen to REITs once interest rates start to rise but long-term investors shouldn't worry and a slow rise should be easily managed by management. There's no doubt that the healthcare industry has a huge tailwind with the aging population of baby boomers. With life expectancy creeping up year after year that brings along higher healthcare costs for those same boomers. Ventas is diversified in their properties with 1,500 properties spanning senior housing communities (746), medical office buildings (275), skilled nursing (365), and hospitals (47). They're even diversified globally owning properties in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.
I purchased 22 shares of VTR for $72.9699 per share. After commission my per share cost basis comes to $73.33. Based on the current annual dividend of $3.16 these shares will provide $69.52 in annual dividends and carry a YOC of 4.31%. I actually ended up setting my limit order last week and missed the purchase a few days ago. I was hoping to get shares before the shares went ex-div but forgot my purchase order was still in place and purchased shares on the ex-div date. Oh well, what's one quarter in a potential life long holding?
Historically, Ventas has provided owners with excellent dividend growth. The 5 year dividend growth rate is at 8.11% and the 10 year growth rate is 8.18%. Ventas doesn't have a great streak of dividend increases because they held it constant during the financial crisis. However, they have gotten back to regular annual increases since then and prior to the financial crisis had a 9 year streak. Since 1999 Ventas has increased distributions every year except for one, and the lone outlier was in a very troublesome economic environment in which they maintained the payout level. I take that as a very prudent sign from management and am much more tolerable of a management erring on the side of caution.
Running Ventas through a Gordon Growth Model valuation with a 10% discount rate and a 5% growth rate gives a fair value of $66.36. A 9% discount rate with 5% growth works out to a fair value of $82.95. Reordering the calculation and solving for the required growth rate shows that Ventas needs to grow their dividend at 5.46% per year to justify my initial price of $73.33. At a 9% discount rate the required growth rate drops to 4.50%. Considering all of the growth rates are well below VTR's historical growth rates I'm pretty happy with my purchase price.
Ventas paid out $2.965 in dividends last year and had $4.48 in normalized FFO. That gives a payout based on nFFO of just 66.2% and leaves plenty of room to continue growing the dividend. Management is guiding for $4.63 to $4.71 in nFFO for 2015 which means the current quarterly dividend of $0.79 would only eat up 68.3% to 67.1% of nFFO. I purchased shares for 16.4 times nFFO and between 15.8 and 15.6 times forward nFFO.
Overall I think the current price of Ventas represents a decent value. I wouldn't say it's at a point where you should be backing up the truck but it's a relatively stable company with consistent growth that should fare well even in an economic slowdown. We can't exactly just do without health care. For a starter position I'm okay with paying around fair value for a high quality company that should continue to provide consistent dividend growth. Especially since the starting yield is solid at 4.31%.
My forward 12-month dividends for my FI Portfolio increased to $5,279.34 and total taxable accounts, Loyal3 and my FI Portfolio, forward dividends now sit at $5,334.52.
What companies are high on your watch list for potential buy candidates? What do you think of Ventas, Inc. as a dividend growth investment?
*Well looks like I was a bit early on this buy based off the early morning market. That's why you buy for long term value and look for opportunities to buy on the dips. I won't be adding on this dip just yet because capital is a bit light at the moment. But somewhere between $66-68 would get me interested in adding shares given my current available capital forecasts for the next few months.
Really like this purchase, JC. Ive been keeping an eye on it too and found that mid to high 60s to be the fair price. I think I saw Brad Thomas also do an analysis in the recent weeks and came up with $66 fair/buy price. While it was in the mid to high 70s, I decided to leave it out of my watchlist, but if it drops anymore...I might have to consider it seriously. I really like their diversification - both in the type of facilities owned and geography - and it would be a great complementary fit in my portfolio with OHI.
I know it isn't the best price right here but I was comfortable with the value to initiate a position here and look to buy on dips to lower prices. Would love to see the mid-$60s and hopefully we get some overreaction whenever the Fed does decide to increase the rates. I'm looking to do the same with OHI if the price can come down just a bit.
After selling 95% of my VTR position around the 80 level, I just started buying some of it back here today. I expect VTR to continue falling to the 66 level where I plan to add back my full exposure. But otherwise a great buy PIP. Thanks for the commentary.
Congrats on another great company! I've been eying this one and OHI for ages and would love to own both with you. When I was researching them, I liked the little videos they had on their site and wish more company's would do something like that. Take it easy!
Nice purchase PIP. I don't know much about this stock, but with ARCP eliminating the dividends, I am looking for some REIT stock to replace my ARCP holdings. Need to look at this one closely.
I just started my portfolio. Thanks for bring my attention to VTR. This company looks solid. I just added it to my watch list. Thanks for sharing.
That looks like a solid long-term investment. The population will only increase so there will always be a higher demand for medical services and the buildings to house them. Likewise for senior living properties.

Molecular Mechanisms Underlying Phosphatidylinositol-Specific Phospholipase C Mediated Regulation Of Lipid Metabolism
Rupwate, Sunny Dinkar
Phosphoinositide-specific phospholipase C (PLC) is involved in Ca2+ mediated signalling events that lead to altered cellular status. PLC activation causes hydrolysis of phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) and generates two second messengers, inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate (IP3) and 1,2-diacylglycerol. Each has distinct role in depending on the cell type in mammalian cells, IP3 binds to intracellular receptors, stimulating the release of sequestered Ca2+. DAG remains in the membrane, where it can activate members of the protein kinase C (PKC) family. In plant absence of PKC keeps the question open as to what is the role of DAG in plants. The role of IP3 apart form triggering calcium release is not known, although the phosphorylated product of IP3 by groups of kinases has been implicated in certain nuclear signalling pathway. Using various sequence-analysis methods on plant PLC sequences, we identified two conserved motifs in known PLC sequences. The identified motifs are located in the C2 domain of plant PLCs and are not found in any other protein. These motifs are specifically found in the Ca2+ binding loops and form adjoining beta strands. Further, we identified certain conserved residues that are highly distinct from corresponding residues of animal PLCs. The motifs reported here could be used to annotate plant-specific phospholipase C sequences. Furthermore, we demonstrated that the C2 domain alone is capable of targeting PLC to the membrane in response to a Ca2+ signal. We also showed that the binding event results from a change in the hydrophobicity of the C2 domain upon Ca2+ binding. Bioinformatic analyses revealed that all PLCs from Arabidopsis and rice lack a transmembrane domain, myristoylation and GPI-anchor protein modifications. Our bioinformatic study indicates that plant PLCs are located in the cytoplasm, the nucleus and the mitochondria. Our results suggest that there are no distinct isoforms of plant PLCs, as have been proposed to exist in the soluble and membrane associated fractions. The same isoform could potentially be present in both subcellular fractions, depending on the calcium level of the cytosol. we have used Saccharomyces cerevisiae as a model system to investigate physiological function of PLC in regulation of lipid metabolism. S. cerevisiae synthesizes membrane phospholipids via a pathway which appears to be similar to that of higher eukaryotes. The synthesis of glycerolipid begins with the formation of phosphatidic acid which is quantitatively a minor lipid but is responsible for the repression of UNAINO-containing phospholipid biosynthetic gene by governing localization of Opi1. When the levels of phosphatidic acid are lowered which causes translocation of Opi1 from endoplasmic reticulum membrane to nucleus, where it binds to INO2 of the INO2-INO4 activator complex thereby attenuating transcriptional activation. The expression of phospholipid biosynthetic gene is affected by many conditions which include carbon source, nutrient availability, growth stage, pH and temperature. The well studied conditions which regulate phospholipid biosynthetic genes transcription are through exogenous supplementation of inositol, which is achieved by lowering of phosphatidic acid levels by its utilization for the synthesis of phosphatidylinositol. Since inositol was able to change regulates phospholipid biosynthetic gene we proposed to investigate inositol triphosphate role in such regulation. We overexpressed a plant phospholipase C in yeast to study its effect on lipid biosynthesis. The overexpressed yeast cells were subjected to microarray analysis and the result were confirmed by Q-PCR. The result obtained indicated that there was decrease in the expression of UNAINO-containing genes. To further validate our observation we carried out an in vivo assay to determined activity of enzyme involved in phospholipid biosynthesis. These results were in accordance with our expression analysis further supporting our hypothesis. Our study indicates that phospholipase c regulates phospholipid biosynthesis at transcription level in response to various stimuli. Overall, these data suggest that the C2 domain of plant PLC plays a vital role in calcium signalling. Further it can be inferred from this study that PI-PLC regulates lipid metabolism in S. cerevisiae.

We've all had them. The claim that lands on your desk and, from the very first read through, promises to live up to its colloquial name: a nuisance.
I recently dealt with one that had me laughing aloud in my office, so ridiculous was the claim. Although ostensibly an action for medical malpractice against a single physician, it included allegations of false arrest and narcotics trafficking (by the prime minister). I'm fairly sure most people would have found this claim to be absurd on its face. Nonetheless, it took me several months of jumping through procedural hoops before I finally succeeded in having it dismissed.
So-called nuisance claims are a headache for many reasons. Despite their dubious legal merits, they frequently require a fair amount of time and energy to resolve.
Although counsel can bring various motions in an attempt to get the claim dismissed at an early stage — including, in Ontario, a motion to have an action dismissed on the grounds that it is "frivolous or vexatious or is otherwise an abuse of process" — the motion process is often time consuming and expensive. In the interim, you may have to deal with a client who is unhappy at having to invest time and money in order to make something that is clearly without merit go away.
Focused on the litigation rather than the litigant, the rule empowers the court to summarily throw out certain proceedings via a three-step process. Unlike dismissal motions under Rule 21.01(3)(d), which involve a full hearing, with evidence, before a judge, no evidence is filed and the parties never attend in court.
First, the allegedly vexatious proceeding is to be brought to the attention of the court, either by the registrar or by one of the parties. The rule requires that requests be made in writing and recent caselaw has made it clear that they are to be submitted without argument. As the vexatious nature of the proceeding should be "patently obvious" to the court, the requesting party should move under another rule if they feel submissions are necessary to make their case.
Notably, there is no requirement at this stage that the subject party be copied on the request, although the court has observed this to be good practice, and no parameters around when such a request can be made. Thus, although it would make the most sense to seek recourse to this rule at the outset of the proceeding, there is nothing to prevent counsel from making a request at a later stage.
Second, the court will review the pleading and decide whether to initiate the summary procedure set out in the rule. In essence, this requires the court to make a preliminary determination that the pleading is, in fact, vexatious or an abuse of process.
Third, if the court is satisfied that the pleading is prima facie vexatious, the party that filed it is invited to file written submissions (of no more than 10 pages) to make their case for why it should not be summarily dismissed. The onus has effectively shifted to that party to convince the court that their proceeding should not be thrown out.
There is no opportunity for them to file any evidence. Whether or not the other parties are provided with a copy of these submissions and given an opportunity to respond is entirely within the court's discretion. Given the requirement that the proceeding be prima facie vexatious, one wonders whether the full exchange of written materials could ever be necessary and/or justified.
Once this process is complete, the court can issue an order dismissing the proceeding. If successfully invoked at the outset, the responding party may have rid themselves of a nuisance proceeding without having filed a single pleading or spent a single day in court.
The intent of the rule is sound: to minimize the burden of ostensibly vexatious litigation on the responding parties and the justice system while still affording the plaintiff/applicant/moving party a modicum of procedural fairness. However, it is easy to envision a scenario in which an aggrieved party without legal representation runs afoul of this rule simply by filing an overly angry or emotional pleading (as we have all seen self-represented litigants do). Concerns in this vein prompted Watson and McGowan to critique the rule as "flawed" and call for its repeal in the 2015 edition of Ontario Civil Practice.
The small body of caselaw that has already developed under the rule makes it clear the court is keen to prevent such abuses and to ensure fairness of process. Recognizing the rule as a "powerful weapon", the court has repeatedly said that it is not to be used in "close calls" or as a short form of summary judgment.
Among the roughly 25 proceedings that have been considered via this process to date, at least seven have survived and been allowed to proceed. .So if you have a real nuisance pleading on your hands, you might want to take a look. As the party requesting the review, you have nothing to lose.
If the court agrees that a claim is 'nuisance', does the have to pay for the legal fees incurred by the defendant? If not, then wouldn't it be better to go to court and file a counter-claim?

Both Madson and Yost categorized the condition as "dead arm," which involves a general, unspecific soreness wrought by fatigue. The condition saps the life of a pitcher's arsenal. When Madson tried to throw a bullpen session on Thursday, he could not throw anything low in the strike zone. Even his trademark changeup floated up in disconcerting fashion.
Madson underwent Tommy John surgery in 2012. He missed all of 2013 and 2014 due to complications from the procedure. He insisted his elbow was not the source of his current discomfort. Yost has said the organization does not believe Madson requires an MRI to investigate the injury.
With uncertainty surrounding Madson, the depth of Kansas City's bullpen takes a hit. Yost seeks to keep his relievers fresh for October, and is excited for September call-ups to arrive on Tuesday. But the team still must manage Madson's condition, in addition to the condition of closer Greg Holland, who has been one of their less reliable relievers this season.
Madson expressed his regret that his unavailability put extra stress on fellow relievers like Luke Hochevar and Franklin Morales. Otherwise, he explained, he is not worried, and believes he can contribute for the Royals in the playoffs.

Former Arsenal player slams Arsene Wenger after contract terminated
Drew Farmer @DrewMFarmer
Former Arsenal player Mathieu Debuchy has slammed manager Arsene Wenger after a failed transfer move to Manchester United. Wenger blocked the French defender from joining the Red Devils two seasons ago and prevented him from joining a direct rival. Arsenal terminated Debuchy's contract in January which finally allowed the want away full-back to leave the Emirates.
Debuchy joined French Ligue 1 outfit Saint-Etienne on a free transfer on transfer deadline day in January. He only made 29 appearances for the Gunners as his career at the Emirates was blighted by injuries.
According to the Express, Debuchy had the opportunity to join Manchester United in 2016. However, Wenger prevented a move from occuring and loaned the full-back to France's Bordeaux instead.
In a recent interview with RMC Sport, Debuchy expressed his anger at Wenger.
"I would have liked to have left Arsenal earlier and to have played for a different club," Debuchy said.
"There were moments when I was angry with the manager. There was an approach from Manchester United and he did not want me to leave."
Debuchy made seven appearances for the Gunners in all competitions this term.
The 32-year-old initially joined Arsenal from Newcastle for £13.5 million. Debuchy was a regular at St. James' Park. Prior to joining the Magpies, Debuchy had been one of Ligue 1's top full-backs. he was a member of Lille's title winning side in 2011.
The former Arsenal player made his Saint-Etienne debut over the weekend and scored in the club's 2-0 win over Amiens.
