Note 1 - Organization and Basis of Presentation Organization and Line of Business Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc. (Novo Integrated) was incorporated in Delaware on November 27, 2000, under the name Turbine Truck Engines, Inc. On February 20, 2008, the Company was re-domiciled to the State of Nevada. Effective July 12, 2017, the Companys name was changed to Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc. When used herein, the terms the Company, we, us and our refer to Novo Integrated and its consolidated subsidiaries. The Company delivers multi-disciplinary primary healthcare through our 16 corporate-owned clinics and a contracted network of 103 affiliate clinics and 226 eldercare centric homes located across Canada. Our team of practitioners and staff are trained for assessment, diagnosis, treatment, pain management, rehabilitation and primary prevention. Our specialized services and products include physiotherapy, chiropractic care, occupational therapy, eldercare, laser therapeutics, massage therapy, acupuncture, chiropody, neurological functions, kinesiology, concussion management and baseline testing, womens pelvic health, sports medicine therapy, assistive devices and private personal training. We do not provide primary care medical services, none of our employees practice primary care medicine, and our services do not require a medical or nursing license. Since inception and through May 9, 2017, our activities and business operations were limited to raising capital, organizational matters and the implementation of our business plan related to research, development, testing and commercialization of various alternative energy technologies. On April 25, 2017 (the Effective Date), we entered into a Share Exchange Agreement (the Share Exchange Agreement) by and between (i) Novo Integrated; (ii) Novo Healthnet Limited (NHL), (iii) ALMC-ASAP Holdings Inc. (ALMC); (iv) Michael Gaynor Family Trust (the MGFT); (v) 1218814 Ontario Inc. (1218814) and (vi) Michael Gaynor Physiotherapy Professional Corp. (MGPP, and together with ALMC, MGFT and 1218814, the NHL Shareholders). Pursuant to the terms of the Share Exchange Agreement, Novo Integrated agreed to acquire from the NHL Shareholders all of the shares of both common and preferred stock of NHL, held by the NHL Shareholders, in exchange for the issuance, by Novo Integrated, to the NHL Shareholders of shares of Novo Integrated common stock, such that following the closing of the Share Exchange Agreement, the NHL Shareholders would own 167,797,406 restricted shares Novo Integrated common stock, representing 85% of the issued and outstanding Novo Integrated common stock, calculated including all granted and issued options or warrants to acquire Novo Integrated common stock as of the Effective Date, but to exclude shares of Novo Integrated common stock that are subject to a then-current Regulation S offering that was undertaken by Novo Integrated (the Exchange). On May 9, 2017, the Exchange closed and, as a result, NHL became a wholly owned subsidiary of Novo Integrated. The Exchange was accounted for as a reverse acquisition under the purchase method of accounting since NHL obtained control of Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc. Accordingly, the Exchange was recorded as a recapitalization of NHL, with NHL being treated as the continuing entity. The historical financial statements presented are the financial statements of NHL. The Share Exchange Agreement was treated as a recapitalization and not as a business combination; therefore, no pro forma information is disclosed. At the closing date of the Exchange, the net assets of the legal acquirer, Novo Integrated Sciences, Inc., were $6,904. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared by the Company, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Organization and Basis of Presentation Organization Liberty Oilfield Services Inc. (the Company) was incorporated as a Delaware corporation on December 21, 2016, to become a holding corporation for Liberty Oilfield Services New HoldCo LLC (Liberty LLC) and its subsidiaries upon completion of a corporate reorganization (as detailed below, the Corporate Reorganization) and planned initial public offering of the Company (IPO). The Company has no material assets other than its ownership in Liberty LLC. Prior to the Corporate Reorganization, Liberty Oilfield Services Holdings LLC (Liberty Holdings) wholly owned Liberty Oilfield Services LLC (LOS) and LOS Acquisition CO I LLC (ACQI and, together with LOS, the Predecessor), which includes the assets and liabilities of LOS Odessa RE Investments, LLC (Odessa) and LOS Cibolo RE Investments, LLC (Cibolo). Following the Corporate Reorganization, Liberty LLC wholly owns the Predecessor. Effective March 22, 2018, the assets of ACQI were contributed into LOS and ACQI was dissolved. The Company, together with its subsidiaries, is a multi-basin provider of hydraulic fracturing services and goods, with a focus on deploying the latest technologies in the technically demanding oil and gas reservoirs in which it operates, principally in North Dakota, Colorado, Wyoming and Texas. Corporate Reorganization In connection with the IPO, the Company completed the Corporate Reorganization, including the following series of transactions: Liberty Holdings contributed all of its assets to Liberty LLC in exchange for Liberty LLC Units (as defined below); Liberty Holdings liquidated and distributed to its then-existing owners (the Legacy Owners) Liberty LLC Units pursuant to the terms of the limited liability company agreement of Liberty Holdings and the Master Reorganization Agreement dated as of January 11, 2018, by and among the Company, Liberty Holdings, Liberty LLC, and the other parties named therein (the Master Reorganization Agreement); Certain of the Legacy Owners directly or indirectly contributed all or a portion of their Liberty LLC Units to the Company in exchange for 55,685,027 shares of our Class A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the Class A Common Stock), and 1,258,514 restricted shares of Class A Common Stock. Subsequent to the initial exchange, 1,609,122 shares of Class A Common Stock were redeemed for an aggregate price of $25.9 million, upon the exercise of the underwriters overallotment option; the Company issued, at par, the Legacy Owners that continued to own Liberty LLC Units (the Liberty Unit Holders) an aggregate amount of 48,207,372 shares of our Class B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the Class B Common Stock); and the Company contributed the net proceeds it received from the IPO to Liberty LLC in exchange for additional Liberty LLC Units such that the Company held a total number of Liberty LLC Units equal to the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding immediately following the IPO. Initial Public Offering On January 17, 2018, the Company completed its IPO of 14,640,755 shares of Class A Common Stock at a public offering price of $17.00 per share, of which 14,340,214 shares were offered by the Company and 300,541 were offered by the selling shareholder. The Company received $220.0 million net proceeds from the IPO, after deducting approximately $13.4 million in underwriting discounts and commissions and $10.4 million in other offering costs. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the sale of the shares of Class A Common Stock by the selling shareholder. The Company used $25.9 million of net proceeds to redeem ownership interests in Liberty LLC from the Legacy Owners. The Company contributed the remaining net proceeds to Liberty LLC in exchange for units in Liberty LLC (the Liberty LLC Units). Liberty LLC used a portion of these net proceeds (i) to repay outstanding borrowings and accrued interest under the Predecessors ABL Facility (as defined herein), totaling approximately $30.1 million, (ii) to repay 35% of the Predecessors outstanding borrowings, accrued interest and prepayment premium under the Term Loan Facility (as defined herein), totaling approximately $62.5 million and (iii) for general corporate purposes, including repayment of additional indebtedness and funding capital expenditures. As of December 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company owned 72.8%, and 60.2% of Liberty LLC, respectively. Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated and combined financial statements were prepared using generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (GAAP) and the instructions to Form 10-K, Regulation S-X and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The accompanying consolidated and combined financial statements and related notes present the consolidated financial position, results of operations, cash flows, and equity of the Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, and the combined results of operations and cash flows of the Predecessor for the year ended December 31, 2017. All intercompany amounts have been eliminated in the presentation of the consolidated financial statements of the Company and the combined financial statements of the Predecessor. Comprehensive income is not reported due to the absence of items of other comprehensive income or loss during the periods presented. The consolidated and combined financial statements include financial data at historical cost as the contribution of assets is considered to be a reorganization of entities under common control. The consolidated and combined financial statements may not be indicative of the actual level of assets, liabilities and costs that would have been incurred by the Predecessor if it had operated as an independent, publicly-traded company during the periods prior to the IPO or of the costs expected to be incurred in the future. The consolidated and combined financial statements for periods prior to January 17, 2018, reflect the historical results of the Predecessor. The consolidated financial statements include the amounts of the Company and all majority owned subsidiaries where the Company has the ability to exercise control. The Companys operations are organized into a single reportable segment, which consists of hydraulic fracturing services and goods.

Note 11 Commitments and Contingencies Participation and Revenue Share Agreements In addition to the space agreements described above in Note 10, Leases , the Company also enters into slot placement contracts in the form of revenue share and participation agreements. Under revenue share agreements, the Company pays the business location a percentage of the gaming revenue generated from the Companys slots placed at the location, rather than a fixed monthly rental fee. Under participation agreements, the business location holds the applicable gaming license and retains a percentage of the gaming revenue that it generates from the Companys slots. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the aggregate contingent payments recognized by the Company as gaming expenses under revenue share and participation agreements were $35.5 million and $110.1 million, respectively, including $0.2 million and $0.7 million, respectively, under revenue share and participation agreements with related parties, as described in Note 13, Related Party Transactions . During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the aggregate contingent payments recognized by the Company as gaming expenses under revenue share and participation agreements were $35.4 million and $107.0 million, respectively, including $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively, under revenue share and participation agreements with related parties . The Company also enters into amusement device and ATM placement contracts in the form of revenue share agreements. Under these revenue share agreements, the Company pays the business location a percentage of the non-gaming revenue generated from the Companys amusement devices and ATMs placed at the location. During the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the total contingent payments recognized by the Company as other operating expenses for amusement devices and ATMs under such agreements were $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the total contingent payments recognized by the Company as other operating expenses for amusement devices and ATMs under such agreements were $1.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively. Capital Lease Financing Agreement In June 2018 the Company entered into a capital lease financing arrangement for external and internal lighting and renovations at the Stratosphere. Construction commenced in the third quarter of 2018 and is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2019. The total amount to be paid is $9.6 million, of which $8.5 million will be financed over a 36-month period. Miscellaneous Legal Matters From time to time, the Company is involved in a variety of lawsuits, claims, investigations and other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business, including proceedings concerning labor and employment matters, personal injury claims, breach of contract claims, commercial disputes, business practices, intellectual property, tax and other matters for which the Company has recorded reserves of $1.7 million for claims as of September 30, 2018. Although lawsuits, claims, investigations and other legal proceedings are inherently uncertain and their results cannot be predicted with certainty, the Company believes that the resolution of its currently pending matters should not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity. Regardless of the outcome, legal proceedings can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense costs, diversion of management resources and other factors. In addition, it is possible that an unfavorable resolution of one or more such proceedings could in the future materially and adversely affect the Companys business, financial condition, results of operations or liquidity in a particular period. In February and April 2017, several former employees filed two separate purported class action lawsuits against the Company in the District Court of Clark County, Nevada, and on behalf of similarly situated individuals employed by the Company in the State of Nevada. The lawsuits allege that the Company violated certain Nevada labor laws including payment of an hourly wage below the statutory minimum wage without providing a qualified health insurance plan and an associated failure to pay proper overtime compensation. The complaints seek, on behalf of the plaintiffs and members of the putative class, an unspecified amount of damages (including punitive damages), injunctive and equitable relief, and an award of attorneys fees, interest and costs. The Company agreed to settle the first of these cases in the fourth quarter of 2017 and the second of these cases in the third quarter of 2018. Both settlements are subject to court approval and are included in the Companys recorded reserves of $1.7 million at September 30, 2018. On August 31, 2018, prior guests of the Stratosphere filed a purported class action complaint against the Company in the District Court, Clark County, Nevada, on behalf of similarly situated individuals and entities that paid the Clark County Combined Transient Lodging Tax (Tax) on the portion of a resort fee that constitutes charges for Internet access, during the period of February 6, 2014 through the date the alleged conduct ceases. The lawsuit alleges that the Tax was charged in violation of the federal Internet Tax Freedom Act, which imposes a national moratorium on the taxation of Internet access by states and their political subdivisions, and seeks, on behalf of the plaintiff and the putative class, damages equal to the amount of the Tax collected on the Internet access component of the resort fee, injunctive relief, disgorgement, interest, fees and costs. The Company has not yet been served on this complaint. While legal proceedings are inherently unpredictable and no assurance can be given as to the ultimate outcome of any of the above matters, based on managements current understanding of the relevant facts and circumstances, the Company believes that these proceedings should not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

10. Segment Information The Company s chief operating decision maker, together with other senior management personnel, currently focus their review of consolidated financial information and the allocation of resources based on reporting of operating results, including revenues and operating income (loss), for the geographic regions of the Americas, EMEA and Asia/Pacific and the Corporate line item. The Company s products are sold and supported through distribution networks covering these three geographic regions, with each distribution network having its own sales force. The Company supplements its distribution networks with independent reseller and/or distributor arrangements. All administrative costs that are not directly attributable or reasonably allocable to a geographic segment are tracked in the Corporate line item. As such, the Company has concluded that its three geographic regions are its reportable segments. The Company allocates segment support expenses such as global product development, business operations, and product management based upon percentage of revenue per segment. Depreciation and amortization costs are allocated as a percentage of the headcount by segment. The Corporate line item consists of the corporate overhead costs that are not allocated to reportable segments. Corporate overhead costs relate to human resources, finance, legal, accounting, merger and acquisition activity and amortization of acquisition-related intangibles and other costs that are not considered when management evaluates segment performance. The following is selected segment financial data for the periods indicated: Three Months Ended March 31, (in thousands) 2014 2013 Revenues: Americas $ 154,769 $ 94,313 EMEA 47,461 47,571 Asia/Pacific 19,243 20,113 $ 221,473 $ 161,997 Income (loss) before income taxes: Americas $ 16,281 $ 12,967 EMEA 17,510 15,055 Asia/Pacific 5,579 5,840 Corporate (49,112 ) (38,472 ) $ (9,742 ) $ (4,610 ) March 31, December 31, (in thousands) 2014 2013 Total assets: Americas United States $ 1,091

He was born in the 1330s in the Chaghatayid Khanate formerly the Mongol Empire in Central Asia. On the unforgiving steppe, he rose from a lowly sheep thief to become one of history’s greatest conquerors, uniting nearly all of Central Asia, Afghanistan, and Iran under his rule. But was he a great state builder or a bloodthirsty tyrant? Order! Order! Who do we have on the stand today? Tamer...lane? That wasn’t his name, your Honor. The great Timur— meaning iron— was nicknamed “Timur the lame” by enemies who mocked permanent injuries to his leg and arm. Injuries he sustained raiding a rival tribe’s sheep herd— he was a thief and a scoundrel from the start! Maybe— we actually don’t know for sure— but even if that’s true, raiding rivals was just part of nomadic life at the time. Timur was not born into a ruling family, so he had to prove his worth through daring and horsemanship. He was hardly a commoner. Timur’s family was minor nobility. His uncle and brother-in-law were high-ranking officials. And when they trusted Timur on a diplomatic mission, he defected to a rival khan! Strategic maneuvering! He reconciled with his uncle and brother-in-law soon after. Only for long enough to consolidate his own power. Then he went to battle against his brother-in-law— supposedly his closest ally. He was assassinated, and Timur seized power! They may have been friends, but he was a corrupt man who alienated a lot of people. Timur was right to oust him. Afterward, he managed to reunite most of the khanate’s territories and put an end to decades of bloody infighting. Okay, so where are we? I can hardly keep up. 1370, your honor. And he’s khan now? Well, not quite. Timur was not a direct descendant of Genghis Khan, so he couldn’t claim the title. Instead, he appointed figurehead khans and referred to himself as amir, or commander, and later as güregen, or son-in-law, after he married a woman who was descended from Genghis Khan. He claimed to be a divinely ordained protector of the Mongol and Muslim worlds, yet he undermined both Mongol and Muslim power by relentlessly waging war against his neighbors, weakening them so much that Christian Europe romanticized him as an ally. His campaigns killed as many as 17 million people! Propaganda. Timur’s official biographies deliberately exaggerated the number of deaths to deter rebellions. Like the Mongols, Timur offered cities the chance to surrender and only ordered massacres if they revolted. He rebuilt irrigation canals to support agriculture, and regularly distributed food to the poor. Just in his hometown of Kesh, he paid for the meat of 20 sheep to be given to the poor every day. His campaigns were brutal, but by unifying Central Asia, Afghanistan, and Iran, he was also able to reinvigorate the Silk Road. Much of Eurasia benefited from the revival of long-distance trade, and Central Asian cities, such as Samarkand and Herat, became thriving commercial hubs under his rule. And meanwhile, other cities like Baghdad, Aleppo, and Delhi were plundered and burned and took decades to recover. This illiterate warlord destroyed centuries’ worth of cultural heritage, leaving nothing but pyramids of skulls in his wake. Timur may have been illiterate, but he was also an active patron of culture and the arts. During his conquests, he spared artisans and scholars, sending them to work on public projects like schools and mosques. Unlike many women in the world at the time, his wives, daughters, and daughters-in-law were highly educated and politically active. Timur also personally met with— and impressed— the famed Arab historian Ibn Khaldun in Damascus, and he so thoroughly mastered chess that he is said to have enjoyed a more complex variant that was named for him. So what happened after that? Timur died from an illness in 1405, when he was likely in his early 70s. The empire he founded lasted another hundred years, ushering in an architectural, artistic, literary and scientific renaissance across Central Asia. In Samarkand, Timur’s grandson, Ulugh Beg, built the largest astronomical observatory in the world at the time. Even after the fall of Timur's empire, his descendant Babur re-established himself in India, founding the Mughal Empire, which would become home to nearly a quarter of the world’s population and which built such splendors as the Red Fort and Taj Mahal. Timur's legacy is still celebrated in monuments across Central Asia, where he is remembered as “Buyuk Babamiz” or “our great forefather.” And yet today in Europe, India, and much of the Middle East, he's remembered as a butcher. That’s more reflection of the success of his own propaganda than of the man himself. Hold on now, I think I’ve almost got the king cornered! Emerging from relative obscurity, Timur’s conquests formed a legacy lasting nearly 500 years that remains on trial even today.

Small and Medium Enterprises (SME’s) embrace a wide range of information systems and technology that range from basic bookkeeping and general purpose office packages, through to advanced E-Business Web portals and Electronic Data Interchange (EDI). A survey, based on SABS ISO/IEC 17799 was administered to a select number of SME’s in the services sector, in the Eastern Cape. The results of the survey revealed that the level of information security awareness amongst SME leadership is as diverse as the state of practice of their information systems and technology. Although a minority of SME’s do embrace security frameworks such as SABS ISO/IEC 17799 or the International equivalent, BS7799, most SME leaders have not heard of security standards, and see information security as a technical intervention designed to address virus threats and data backups. Furthermore, there are several “stripped-down” standards and guidelines for SME’s, based mostly on SABS ISO/IEC 17799, but designed as streamlined, more easily implemented options. Again, these “lighter” frameworks are scarcely used and largely unknown by SME’s. Far from blaming SME leadership for not understanding the critical issues surrounding information security, the research concludes that SME leadership need to engage, understand and implement formal information security processes, failing which their organisations may be severely impacted by inadvertent threats / deliberate attacks on their information systems which could ultimately lead to business failure.

I built an acoustic LEVITATOR! Making liquid float on air So, I am just learning about standing waves and sound in my physics class. From my understanding, sound waves are actually longitudinal waves that travel through a medium. The description of standing waves uses transverse waves to explain it, but the idea is still the same. Correct me if I'm wrong please, but the nodes in which the material sits in are considered displacement nodes, where the particles of the medium do not move. This is related to pressure, as a place with displacement equals zero is effected by a max or min amount of pressure change. At displacement nodes, it is said to also be a pressure antinode, where delta P is max or min. To explain this concept, imagine the reason why displacement at this point is zero; you either have P_max, where all the particles around it are squeezing the node at both sides; or you have P_min, where the particles around it are being drawn away. You can see this idea at work at 5:05, where the maximum change in pressure causes the particle to be "squeezed" back into the displacement node. Let me know if I got it wrong!

The BIGGEST problem with clean energy The US has dozens of Pumped Hydro Storage plants. Yet no new PHS has been built in 30 yrs. There are good reasons for this, both geographical end economic. Why can’t PG investigate these instead? PG talks of H2 and is driving around in an FC. Yet after decades there are only concept FC cars for sale; there are not FC cars in mass production anywhere in the world. Why? There is no system for mass production of H2, again for good reason as H2 is difficult to transport. Indeed in the continental US there are only a handful of H2 fueling stations only in CA, and thus no FC cars for sale elsewhere. The useful storage conversation is not a list of possibilities, but a comparison with the king which is liquid fuels. That 9000gal gasoline tanker truck delivers an hour of Hoover Dam size energy to every other street corner in minutes. Nothing else comes close.

I am a software engineer(had been desk junkie for too long), introvert and English is not my first language. But I have given few presentations in my career to somewhere around 5 to 50 people. And I am not that good at general communication and presentation.I have lot of ideas that pop-up in my head. I want to do a startup with one of these ideas. I try to implement them and then realise that I lack three other very important skill-sets that a startup founder requires: marketing, sales and finance(at least in the initial stages of the startup). It is not important to just build things. One should be able to market it, sell it and manage the finances. Finance I will be able to manage, but marketing and sales requires going out(or even online) and talking to people, negotiating etc. These are the skills that I lack to some extent.So here is what I was thinking. I should take an entry-level job at an organisation that requires talking to people on a regular basis. And recently I stumbled across an entry-level job that requires talking to people(from various companies, labs and R&D divisions) across the world and collecting information from them and then presenting it to internal and external stakeholders for business viability.If I take this job, my whole career trajectory will change. Also, as this job is entry level the salary is very low(more than 50% pay cut).I am thinking of going for it(I have not yet applied). But what do you think, does this strategy make sense?

These eight ferocious notes open one of the most explosive pieces of music ever composed. Ludwig van Beethoven’s Symphony Number Five premiered in 1808, on a blisteringly cold Vienna night. The piece was just one small part of a lengthy program, and the orchestra had been hastily assembled and under-rehearsed. But despite this inauspicious premiere, the symphony quickly won acclaim. One critic likened the piece to “glowing beams of light, piercing through the darkness.” This intensity persists throughout the composition, and its dramatic musicality continues to move listeners today. So what exactly makes Beethoven’s Fifth so captivating? When the symphony premiered, Beethoven already had a formidable reputation. While his peers produced music exclusively for religious functions or private events held by their wealthy patrons, Beethoven was one of the first freelance composers. He made his living composing and selling his music to publishers in multiple countries and showcasing his compositions to an adoring public. This career choice gave him the flexibility to compose for self-expression and Beethoven was always pursuing new ways to translate his powerful emotions into music. At the time, most composers worked within the Classical style, which offered limited options for a piece’s overarching structure and instrumentation. Beethoven composed most of his earlier pieces in this tradition, following in the footsteps of role models like Mozart and Haydn. But with his Fifth Symphony, he experimented with elements of Romanticism. This blossoming mode of composition was known for its expressive melodies, extended forms and surprising instrumentations. The first movement of Beethoven’s Fifth uses a Classical sonata form, in which a central musical idea is explored, developed, and repeated in an altered manner. Within these parameters, he explores a simple idea with incredible depth. A single rhythmic motif serves as the building block for most of the movement: three short notes, followed by a lingering fourth. One of Beethoven’s biographers would later call this pattern the “fate motif,” because it suggests the figure of fate knocking at the door. While it's not clear if Beethoven composed the motif with fate in mind, these notes certainly create a gripping hook. The rhythmic pattern creates forward movement, while the prolonged fourth note signals doom. This motif haunts the symphony, including its accompanying parts and rhythmic flourishes. Beethoven experiments with dozens of variations, playing out across different instruments and pitches. Throughout the piece, this motif is passed around the orchestra like a whisper, gradually reaching more and more instruments until it becomes a roar. The motif’s inventive repetition is a large part of what makes this piece so memorable, but it’s not the only innovation on display. This was the first major orchestral composition to use trombones, and Beethoven also employs a high-pitched piccolo and a low-pitched contrabassoon to give the orchestra a wider range than most classical compositions. Exaggerated musical dynamics further heighten the drama. And harmonically, the piece has a clear emotional arc— beginning in a somber C minor and ending in a triumphant C major. This progression, from ominous unease to majestic resolution, is a testament to Beethoven’s ability to inject raw emotionality into his music. He wrote this symphony while battling with hearing loss, and his anguish can be heard in the composition’s thunderous and repeating musical phrases. Beethoven continued to compose even after he became completely deaf, producing innovative music until his death in 1827. And the Fifth Symphony’s central motif has continued to resound through the ages. Outside of concert halls, the piece has become a symbol for suspense, revelation, and triumph. The fate motif sounds out the letter V in Morse code, and during World War II, the Fifth Symphony became a code for victory amongst the Allies. The iconic composition can be found in film scores, and it’s even been explored through musical reinterpretations and visual art. But whatever the context, Beethoven’s Fifth takes its listeners through a dark world, then guides them into the light.

The use of student group working has become prevalent within higher education, and is often adopted within the discipline of Business and Management where it has been recommended as an effective vehicle for the sharing and development of students' tacit and explicit knowledge.\ud Within this thesis it is contended that a greater understanding of students' experiences and perceptions of knowledge sharing during group work will assist educators in designing pedagogic activities that enhance knowledge sharing, potentially increasing students' learning and attainment.\ud Few scholars have investigated knowledge sharing amongst students during group work within the United Kingdom. Within this thesis, the field of knowledge management is adopted as a theoretical lens to explore knowledge sharing during group work amongst business and management students enrolled on taught programmes within Bangor Business School, Bangor University.\ud The first study presents the results of a quantitative survey that explores the relationship between undergraduate and postgraduate students' interpersonal trust relationships and their willingness to share and use tacit knowledge during group work.\ud The second study presents the results of focus groups undertaken with undergraduate and postgraduate students. The study focuses on exploring students' experiences and perceptions of interpersonal trust relationships, tacit knowledge sharing and group allocation methods during group work.\ud The third study presents an action research project concerned with influencing explicit knowledge sharing and use amongst undergraduate students enrolled on a third year undergraduate Human Resource Management module. It presents the design, implementation and evaluation of a pedagogic activity intended to influence electronically mediated inter-group explicit knowledge sharing.\ud Individually and as a composite, these three studies present insights into students' experiences and perceptions of knowledge sharing during group work. Based on the findings, a number of recommendations for educators, and the wider business and management community are offered, and opportunities for future research are highlighted

Yeah, no. Servers in restaurants want to think they are in some kind of special contractor role. Servers want to think that their service quality is on a sliding scale with tip amounts. But in reality, servers at restaurants get paid to do their job, which is to *serve* customers. If they are a shitty server with a shitty attitude towards people who don't tip they will be disciplined. Restaurant owners care much more about things like Yelp reviews than the lamentations of their entitled servers. Also, what exactly do you think it is servers do that warrants such generous tips? Patrons don't need their drinks checked every thirty seconds. Nor do they need idle chit chat or super duper special wine recommendations. All a server has to do is take orders, bring food, take away dishes, and answer patron's questions about the menu choices. That is the extent of the interactions between servers and patrons that need to happen.

Written by Klarity Editorial Team Published: May 20, 2024 Medically Reviewed by Dr. Zoe Russell Share!Table of contents Share Organization and time management can be challenging, especially if you have attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Children and adults with ADHD often struggle with working memory, which makes it difficult to complete tasks, pay attention, organize activities, stay on track, and more. But the 9 ADHD organization tools for time management and more this article covers can help. If ADHD causes you to struggle with organization and time management, a provider on Klarity Health can help. Schedule an initial virtual today. Appointments are often available in as little as 24 hours.\* **Treatment for ADHD symptoms is a click away.** ## ADHD organization tools for general organization ADHD affects the functions of the brain that help you organize and plan. And that can make organizing your day difficult if you struggle with ADHD. But there are ways to make it easier. Here are 9 ADHD organization tools to help make organizing your life and tasks more manageable. ### 1. A paper calendar as an ADHD organization tool A calendar is a great tool for keeping track of appointments, meetings, and other obligations. While electronic calendars work for some people, paper calendars are often a better choice for someone with ADHD because they’re a physical reminder that’s always visible. Hang a paper calendar on the wall or place it on your desk so you see it frequently. ### 2. Sticky notes as a tool In addition to using a calendar to keep track of important dates and events, sticky notes can serve as another physical reminder for short-term tasks. This includes reminders to pay bills, complete homework, or . Like a paper calendar, sticky notes can go a long way to ensure you don’t lose track of important tasks. Put sticky notes in places you frequently look at, like your laptop, mirror, or desk. ### 3. Labels to get organized with ADHD Placing labels on bins or shelves is a great way to keep items together and avoid clutter in your home or at the office. Having designated areas for things can save you the time it takes to find where it goes and keep your space from filling up with miscellaneous items. Labels are a great way to make it easier for you to keep your home, office, or room organized. ### 4. Clear bins to make organization “transparent” Clear storage bins make it easier to find items quickly and let you create a designated spot for smaller items. Instead of scouring your room for a pen or makeup brush, which can hinder your ability to stay on task, clear bins remove the extra time it takes to find an item. Use clear bins can effectively organize your desk, closet, pantry, or refrigerator. ### 5. Apps as ADHD organization tool If physical calendars or planners feel like a chore, there are a number of ways to stay organized using just your phone. ADHD organization apps like Evernote, Asana, and Todoist can help you create lists and set reminders to manage your time and stay on top of chores, appointments, and meetings. If you’re someone who prefers not to clutter their phone with additional apps, your smartphone has several built-in features to help you get organized as well. Calendar, reminder, and clock apps can help you create to-do lists, set alarms, and track your upcoming events. With widget features becoming more popular for smartphones, you can see a list of exactly what you need to do every time you open your phone. ## ADHD organization tools for time management People with ADHD often struggle with time management as a result of executive dysfunction. Executive dysfunction makes it difficult for people with ADHD to manage and regulate their thoughts, emotions, and actions. Ultimately, this affects your ability to plan and remember and distorts your understanding of time. However, there are ADHD you can use to stay organized and build good habits. ### 6. A paper planner for ADHD time management A paper planner can be an effective ADHD tool for organization and time management. The goal of agenda notebooks is to take the memory aspect out of managing your time. This physical reminder lets you plan your day — from big events and important meetings down to little tasks and chores. If writing major due dates or meeting deadlines in a planner feels stressful, try breaking them down into smaller tasks. Scheduling time throughout your week to complete portions of a task let you make sure you get work done on time, rather than writing something down 2 months in advance and forgetting about it until the week it’s due. ### 7. A timer as a time management tool People with ADHD can experience time blindness, which affects their ability to keep track of time. If you frequently underestimate how long it takes to finish a task, timers can help you conceptualize how long you spend on each task and break down more overwhelming tasks into smaller time frames. Try using the *Pomodoro Technique* to break your time into smaller intervals. Set a 25-minute timer and try to focus on one task for that entire time without any distractions. Once the timer is up, take a 5-minute break and reflect on how much you were able to realistically accomplish in that time. This helps you understand how long it takes you to finish an assignment or project. ### 8. Time management apps for people with ADHD Smartphones have built-in reminder apps, to-do lists, and timers to help us easily keep track of our time. If you are someone who gets easily distracted, there are also features like Do Not Disturb and App Limits to help minimize notifications and keep you from endlessly scrolling rather than focusing on the task at hand. ### 9. Professional ADHD treatment Even if you try to implement all of the other ADHD organization tools included here, adult ADHD symptoms might still make it difficult or even impossible to stay focused and organized. If you feel that’s the case for you, consider a personalized ADHD treatment plan or prescription medication.

Please assist On the 9th of February 2022 at 11:02am I received a call from a Mondo agent, I believe her name was Samkelisiwe. The call lasted 52m 19 seconds. I was offered a Vodacom data deal. The deal comprises a Router that can connect up to 32 devices, a data SIM card and uncapped mobile data access for a monthly fee of R499. The reason for the length of the call was my initial hesitation to tie myself to a long term commitment but the agent allayed my fears by informing me of the R350 cancellation fee available within the first 12 months of having taken the deal. I would also be afforded the opportunity to return the router and SIM card within 14 days of receiving the package from Ram couriers, free of charge, should I not be satisfied with the product. We spoke about my current data costs and coverage in my area as well as this is a big concern for me. It was also established that I would pay for my subscription from the 15th of March. Once was assured that I would be able to use the router and SIM card in my area I agreed for us to proceed with the sale. I answered some questions and gave my banking information. I initially wanted to have the debit order deduct from my sole proprietorships bank account but it wasn't possible. I gave my personal account details instead. I was then informed of the process to follow. That delivery would take 3-5 working days, I was due to travel and requested the delivery be made after Monday the 14th. The agent said she would make a note of it. The courier company would need me to present proof of identification and address to receive my package. The SIM card can be activated immediately and can take 48 hours to activate following which a pro rata rate will be debited to cover usage until my first monthly subscription is deducted on the 15th. I asked if this pro rata deduction can be set off on the 15th with my monthly subscription and this was also to be noted by the agent. I was satisfied with my purchase and told the agent as much. The next day I received an SMS informing me that the email details on record at Vodacom had been amended to *********** . Today almost two weeks later I have not received any correspondence regarding the deal. Please assist me in fulfilling the sale so that I can receive the product I purchased and start using the service I was sold. My name is Phemelo Sello. My ID number is **********084. I don't have a reference number for the call only the number that was used to contact me +**********4. Thank you.

Financial statements communicate crucial information about the financial health of a company. Financial statements must be made available to stakeholders in time so that they can use the information to make important decisions. However, the timely release of a financial report can be impeded by a range of factors. This study is concerned with audit delay or the delay caused in financial reporting due to the time taken by auditors to review and approve financial statements submitted by companies in Libya

Title: Impact of Surgical Factors on Robotic Partial Nephrectomy Outcomes: Comprehensive Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis. Abstract: Utilization of robotic partial nephrectomy has increased significantly. We report a literature wide systematic review and cumulative meta-analysis to critically evaluate the impact of surgical factors on the operative, perioperative, functional, oncologic and survival outcomes in patients undergoing robotic partial nephrectomy. All English language publications on robotic partial nephrectomy comparing various surgical approaches were evaluated. We followed the PRISMA (Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses) statement and AHRQ (Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality) guidelines to evaluate PubMed®, Scopus® and Web of Science™ databases (January 1, 2000 to October 31, 2016, updated June 2017). Weighted mean difference and odds ratio were used to compare continuous and dichotomous variables, respectively. Sensitivity analyses were performed as needed. To condense the sheer volume of analyses, for the first time data are presented using novel summary forest plots. The study was registered at PROSPERO (https://www.crd.york.ac.uk/prospero/, ID CRD42017062712). Our meta-analysis included 20,282 patients. When open partial nephrectomy was compared to robotic partial nephrectomy, the latter was superior for blood loss (weighted mean difference 85.01, p  <0.00001), transfusions (OR 1.81, p <0.001), complications (OR 1.87, p <0.00001), hospital stay (weighted mean difference 2.26, p = 0.001), readmissions (OR 2.58, p = 0.005), percentage reduction of latest estimated glomerular filtration rate (weighted mean difference 0.37, p = 0.04), overall mortality (OR 4.45, p <0.0001) and recurrence rate (OR 5.14, p <0.00001). Sensitivity analyses adjusting for baseline disparities revealed similar findings. When robotic partial nephrectomy was compared to laparoscopic partial nephrectomy, the former was superior for ischemia time (weighted mean difference 4.21, p <0.0001), conversion rate (OR 2.61, p = 0.002), intraoperative (OR 2.05, p >0.0001) and postoperative complications (OR 1.27, p = 0.0003), positive margins (OR 2.01, p <0.0001), percentage decrease of latest estimated glomerular filtration rate (weighted mean difference -1.97, p = 0.02) and overall mortality (OR 2.98, p = 0.04). Hilar control techniques, selective and unclamped, are effective alternatives to clamped robotic partial nephrectomy. An important limitation is the overall suboptimal level of evidence of publications in the field of robotic partial nephrectomy. No level I prospective randomized data are available. Oxford level of evidence was level II, III and IV in 5%, 74% and 21% of publications, respectively. No study has indexed functional outcomes against volume of parenchyma preserved. Based on the contemporary literature, our comprehensive meta-analysis indicates that robotic partial nephrectomy delivers mostly superior, and at a minimum equivalent, outcomes compared to open and laparoscopic partial nephrectomy. Robotics has now matured into an excellent approach for performing partial nephrectomy for renal masses.

Title: [Effect of shufeng xuanfei recipe and jiebiao qingli recipe on mRNA and protein expressions of TLR7, MyD88, and NF-kappaB in mice infected with influenza virus]. Abstract: To observe effect of Shufeng Xuanfei Recipe (SXR) and Jiebiao Qingli Recipe (JQR) on mRNA and protein expressions of Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7), myeloid differentiation factor 88 (MyD88), and nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) in mice infected with influenza virus FM1. One hundred and eight mice were randomly divided into nine groups, i.e., the normal control group, the model group, the Oseltamivir group (at the daily dose of 2.5 g/mL), the high dose SXR group (at the daily dose of 3.762 g/kg), the middle dose SXR group (at the daily dose of 1.881 g/kg), the low dose SXR group (at the daily dose of 0.941 g/kg), the high dose JQR group (at the daily dose of 4.368 g/kg), the middle dose JQR group (at the daily dose of 2.184 g/kg), and the low dose JQR group (at the daily dose of 1.092 g/kg), 12 in each group. All mice were mildly anesthetized by ether. Mice in the normal control group were treated by nasal drop of 0.05 mL normal saline, while mice in the rest groups were infected by nasal drop of 0.05 mL influenza virus strain FM1 (LD50). The successful modeling rate was 100%. All medication was performed by gastrogavage 2 h after infection. Distilled water was given by gastrogavage to mice in the normal control group and the model group at the daily dose of 0.2 mL, each time per day for 4 successive days. mRNA expressions of TLR7, MyD88, and NF-kappaB in the lung tissue were determined by Western blot. Compared with the normal control group, mRNA expressions of TLR7, MyD88, and NF-kappaB increased in the model group (P < 0.01). Compared with the model group, mRNA and protein expressions of TLR7, MyD88, and NF-kappaB decreased in the Oseltamivir group, the high, middle, and low dose SXR groups (P < 0.05, P < 0.01); mRNA and protein expressions of TLR7 and NF-kappaB decreased in the high and middle dose JQR groups (P < 0.05, P < 0.01); mRNA expressions of MyD88 decreased in the high and middle dose JQR groups (P < 0.05); protein expressions of MyD88 decreased in the middle dose JQR group (P < 0.05); protein expressions of TLR7 and NF-kappaB decreased in the low dose JQR group (P < 0.05). Compared with the Oseltamivir group, protein expressions of MyD88 decreased in the low dose SXR group (P < 0.05); protein expressions of NF-kappaB decreased in the middle and low dose SXR groups (P < 0.01); mRNA and protein expressions of TLR7 (P < 0.05, P < 0.01), and protein expressions of MyD88 (P < 0.01) decreased in the high, middle, and low dose JQR groups; mRNA and protein expressions of NF-kappaB decreased in the low dose JQR group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). Each dose SXR and middle dose JQR could down-regulating the activity of NF-kappaB through adjusting MyD88 dependent TLR signal pathway, thus fighting against influenza virus. SXR was more effective than JQR.

Much research work has been conducted on industrial districts all over the world and this thesis adds the first such study in Ireland. It is shown that the wooden furniture industry in Monaghan constitutes an industrial district. Many different regions and industries have been classified as industrial districts and the questions of whether they are all the same and if not should they be classified as such is addressed A taxonomy of industrial districts is developed, which serves to distinguish between different types of industrial district and therefore contributes to the theoretical development of this research area, as well as allowing future case study analysis to be more precise.\ud \ud The term industrial district is often used inter-changeably with that of industrial cluster. The issue of whether this is appropriate is addressed by comparing the differences between these types of agglomeration and studying examples of each in Ireland. It is concluded that while there are similarities between both the differences are enough to warrant distinction. Industrial districts and industrial clusters are different categories of agglomeration which are similar by virtue of the fact that they expound the importance of local factors in national and international industrial success respectively

Title: Deorphanization and target validation of cross-tick species conserved novel Amblyomma americanum tick saliva protein. Abstract: We previously identified a cross-tick species conserved tick feeding stimuli responsive Amblyomma americanum (Aam) AV422 gene. This study demonstrates that AamAV422 belongs to a novel group of arthropod proteins that is characterized by 14 cysteine amino acid residues: C(23)-X7/9-C(33)-X23/24-C(58)-X8-C(67)-X7-C(75)-X23-C(99)-X15-C(115)-X10-C(126)-X24/25/33-C(150)C(151)-X7-C(159)-X8-C(168)-X23/24-C(192)-X9/10-C(202) predicted to form seven disulfide bonds. We show that AamAV422 protein is a ubiquitously expressed protein that is injected into the host within the first 24h of the tick attaching onto the host as revealed by Western blotting analyses of recombinant (r)AamAV422, tick saliva and dissected tick organ protein extracts using antibodies to 24 and 48 h tick saliva proteins. Native AamAV422 is apparently involved with mediating tick anti-hemostasis and anti-complement functions in that rAamAV422 delayed plasma clotting time in a dose responsive manner by up to ≈ 160 s, prevented platelet aggregation by up to ≈ 16% and caused ≈ 24% reduction in production of terminal complement complexes. Target validation analysis revealed that rAamAV422 is a potential candidate for a cocktail or multivalent tick vaccine preparation in that RNA interference (RNAi)-mediated silencing of AamAV422 mRNA caused a statistically significant (≈ 44%) reduction in tick engorgement weights, which is proxy for amounts of ingested blood. We speculate that AamAV422 is a potential target antigen for development of the highly desired universal tick vaccine in that consistent with high conservation among ticks, antibodies to 24h Ixodes scapularis tick saliva proteins specifically bound rAamAV422. We discuss data in this study in the context of advancing the biology of tick feeding physiology and discovery of potential target antigens for tick vaccine development.

Can you guess this science riddle? The rock does not displace its own weight in water, that is why it sinks. A cubic foot of steel could only displace a cubic foot of water, 62 pounds. But the same cubic of steel would push the boat down to displace another 500 pounds of water, coming to equilibrium and floating.

9. Commitments and Contingencies Purchase Obligations The Company had outstanding contracts and purchase orders for capital projects totaling $13.7 million at September 26, 2015. Amounts due under these contracts were not included on the Company s consolidated balance sheet as of September 26, 2015. Withdrawn Multiemployer Pension Plans Until May 2013, Performance Food Group, Inc. participated in the Central States Southeast and Southwest Areas Pension Fund ( Central States Pension Fund ), a multiemployer pension plan administered by the Teamsters Union, pursuant to which Performance Food Group, Inc. was required to make contributions on behalf of certain union employees. The Central States Pension Fund is underfunded and is in critical status. In connection with the recent renegotiation of the collective bargaining agreement that had previously required the Company s participation in the Central States Pension Fund, the Company negotiated the termination of its participation in the Central States Pension Fund and the Company has withdrawn. The withdrawal liability was increased by $2.8 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2015 to the Company s total estimated withdrawal liability of $6.9 million. The Company has made total payments for voluntary withdrawal of this plan in the amount of $0.8 million. As of September 26, 2015, the estimated outstanding withdrawal liability totaled $6.1 million. Guarantees Subsidiaries of the Company have entered into numerous operating leases, including leases of buildings, equipment, tractors, and trailers. Certain of the leases for tractors, trailers, and other vehicles and equipment provide for residual value guarantees to the lessors. Circumstances that would require the subsidiary to perform under the guarantees include either (1) default on the leases with the leased assets being sold for less than the specified residual values in the lease agreements, or (2) decisions not to purchase the assets at the end of the lease terms combined with the sale of the assets, with

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Litigation. On June 17, 2014, a purported shareholder filed a derivative complaint against all of the then-current members of our board of directors and one of our former directors, as defendants, and our company, as nominal defendant, in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware. Through the complaint, the plaintiff is asserting, on behalf of our company, actions for breach of fiduciary duties and unjust enrichment in connection with prior determinations of our board of directors relating to nonexecutive director compensation. The plaintiff is seeking relief including disgorgement of payments made to the defendants, an award of unspecified damages and an award for attorneys fees and other costs. We and the defendants have filed a motion to dismiss the complaint and a supporting brief on which the Court has not yet ruled. In any event, our company is only a nominal defendant in this litigation, and we do not expect the resolution of this matter to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position. In the ordinary course of business, we are subject to actions for damages alleging personal injury under the general maritime laws of the United States, including the Jones Act, for alleged negligence. We report actions for personal injury to our insurance carriers and believe that the settlement or disposition of those claims will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. Various other actions and claims are pending against us, most of which are covered by insurance. Although we cannot predict the ultimate outcome of these matters, we believe that our ultimate liability, if any, that may result from these other actions and claims will not materially affect our results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

The picture is clear enough from a few feet away, though it looked blurry when I first opened it. It looks nice enough when the light shines through it (it dies little to block light).<br><br>I have only two complaints. One is the material; instead of being a normal fabric, it's the same stuff as my shower curtain and dome tent. Not pleasant to touch and looks a little odd and shiny. It would be more attractive if it was actually fabric. My other complaint is the sizing. My window is less than 60 inches wide, so a 108 inch curtain is pretty folded, which does distort the image some.

I love these curtains so much.<br /><br />The Ambesonne Beach Curtains, Palm Leaves in Catalina Island Dominic are beautiful. I feel like I am at the beach 24 hours a day. They are NOT blackout curtains which allows the sun to shine through the curtains and you are able to see through the back ground. My only issues is I wish I had ordered the 108 x 96 instead of 108 x 84.<br /><br />It is well with the money.

Thank you for your efforts, assistance, support, availability, legal oversight and attention to my goals throughout the process.” ~*L.N. . Daniel Maschi is a practicing attorney licensed in Pennsylvania, whose background in real estate, wills and estate planning, and business law provides him with the unique skills and insight necessary to address many complex issues which can arise during the divorce process. Issues involving real estate, family-owned businesses, and inheritances often come up during the equitable distribution of marital assets, and therefore, having an attorney with a deep understanding of these areas is critical to getting a positive result. Daniel was raised in Bedminster Township, located in the heart of Bucks County, and obtained his Bachelor of Arts in Political Science from West Chester University. During college, Dan founded a chapter of a grass-roots non-profit dedicated to teaching students about their civil liberties, and worked for Pennsylvania State Representative Marguerite Quinn, representing Pennsylvania’s 143rd legislative district, which encompasses a large portion of Bucks County, including Doylestown. After graduating from West Chester University, Daniel worked as a licensed real estate agent, was the recipient of multiple full scholarships, and ultimately attended Villanova University Charles Widger School of Law where he earned his Juris Doctor. As a law student, Daniel published an article for the Jeffrey S. Moorad Sports Law Journal, which is a national legal periodical published and edited by a staff of students chosen for membership based on their performance in a writing competition. Daniel’s publication analyzed antitrust issues in the sports of boxing and mixed martial arts, and his work earned him the editorial position of Managing Editor of Student Works. In addition to his editorial roles and publications, during his time at Villanova Daniel served as Vice President of the Real Estate Law Society, worked for a personal injury and family law firm, and held an internship clerking for the Honorable Thomas C. Branca of the Montgomery County Court of Common Pleas. Before joining the team at Zlock & Grisillo, Daniel worked as a general practice attorney at a local law firm, working in the areas of real estate and zoning, wills and estate planning, business law, and family law. His wide-ranging experience allows Daniel to effectively counsel clients on a diverse array of issues that can be implicated in divorce, as well as provide the legal services necessary to plan for the future, whether it be through handling real estate, drafting a will, or forming a business entity. On the weekends, Daniel coaches Muay Thai kickboxing and women’s self-defense classes at a local mixed martial arts academy. His experience coaching and kickboxing directly translates to how Daniel practices law, as he is capable of both guiding clients through difficult negotiations, and, if necessary, fighting in court to achieve the best result possible. ! #### Family Law, Divorce, Custody, Wills and Estate Planning Phone: 215-968-1800 Fax: 215-504-1313 Email: [email protected] * Follow { # Montgomery County Divorce Lawyer Helps Client in a Support Matter Working with Dan has been a great overall experience. He stepped into my case last minute as the attorney handling my case had an emergency. He pulled over in his car to make sure he was able to fully pay attention and get me the results I needed. He was patient with me and my many questions and my anxiety. My case is ongoing but I’m glad I have Dan on my side. 5 Amanda { # Bucks County Child Custody and Support Matter Everyone who works in the Zlock-Grisillo law firm are top notch from the staff to the lawyers, but during my custody case Dan went above and beyond in every way through almost 10 months of litigation. My case one of the longest in Bucks County history. From the start, Dan understood the challenges that I faced in trying to keep custody of my children and also fighting for their medical freedom. We quickly formed a game plan and worked together to find evidence and eventually a medical expert to testify on my behalf. Things did not always go our way in court, but that did not deter Dan, who reassessed our situation and together we worked to prepare for the next hearing. Dan knows PA law extremely well, but if there was something he was not familiar with, he and all his colleagues would work together to find the best legal path forward, because they care about all their clients. Dan always took the time to answer all my questions and explain the law. I learned so much about the legal process and was able to use that knowledge to help us as well. Dan treated me like a team member not just a client; often we had to work weekends and after hours to prepare but Dan always made himself available. He never gave up and together we persevered and got the right result for myself and my children. I won my case because he believed I was right, worked tirelessly, and was a very effective litigator. I don’t think I would have won with anyone else! I am very grateful that he was my lawyer. 5 Shannon { # Bucks County Child Custody Lawyer “Daniel Maschi is a Winner!” There came a time in my life where I felt like no one understood me. Daniel Maschi changed that he took me under his wing and provided me the knowledge and protection I needed. Dan is Always on Call, Always returning phone calls or emails and most importantly Preparing YOU! It is important to know that without a good lawyer Like Daniel Maschi for custody or support you are not prepared. Daniel Maschi wears all the hats and the most important one is being a Father which means Daniel Maschi understands your situation and how important it is in the big picture. I would Suggest Hiring this intelligent stud who will fight your battle with Diplomacy. He defines the meaning Float like a Butterfly Sting like a Bee. We are in some emotional times and having someone that can both resolve issues outside of court and in court when time is limited and all that matters is your time with your kids.

Title: Impact of advance directives and a health care proxy on doctors' decisions: a randomized trial. Abstract: Advance directives or proxy designations are widely recommended, but how they affect doctors' decision making is not well known. The aim of this study was to quantify the influence of advance directives and proxy opinions on doctors' decisions. We mailed to all the generalists and internists in French-speaking Switzerland (N = 1962) three vignettes describing difficult decisions involving incapacitated patients. In each case, the advance directive requested that further care be withheld. One vignette tested the impact of a written advance directive vs. a proxy. Another compared the impact of a handwritten directive vs. a formalized document. The third vignette compared the impact of a family member vs. a doctor as a proxy. Each vignette was prepared in three or four versions, including a control version in which no directive or proxy was present. Vignettes were randomly allocated to respondents. We used logistic regression to predict the decision to forgo a medical intervention. Compared with the control condition, the odds of forgoing a medical intervention were increased by the written advance directive (odds ratio [OR] 7.3; P < 0.001), the proxy (OR 7.9; P < 0.001), and the combination of the two (OR 35.7; P < 0.001). The handwritten directive had the same impact (OR 13.3) as the formalized directive (OR 13.8). The effect of proxy opinion was slightly stronger when provided by a doctor (OR 11.3) rather than by family (OR 7.8). Advance directives and proxy opinions are equally effective in influencing doctors' decisions, but having both has the strongest effect. The format of the advance directive and the identity of the proxy have little influence on decisions.

Hi HN!We’re Arthur and Sydney (cosydney). We’re building Axolo ( a bidirectional Github-Slack integration to help tech teams reduce pull request time and improve code review’s feedback.Sydney and I met in 42, a software engineering school in Paris, and started working together on different tech projects last year. While working on our last business, a SaaS management platform for SMEs, we were in a squad of 4 to 5 people and often found ourselves writing direct messages in Slack about pull requests. We were telling each other things like ‘Hey Arthur, I’ve updated my last pull request feature/zoom_integration, do you have time to check it out soon?’ or “it’s been two days, do you have time to review feature/user_settings today, here is the link: github/axolo-co/api.axolo.co/pull/381?”. It was messy, took time and mental load to contextualize each pull request to each other.We talked to over 100 companies about how they ship code. Here is the most common pattern: An engineer creates a pull request and asks someone or a dedicated team to review it. Notifications are poorly handled and people often ping again directly. Then, comments are made on Github and if a disagreement appears, the conversation goes on a voice call or in Slack.This approach has two major problems. (1) Dangling pull requests are waste of time and a source of frustration for developers. They cause the code development process to slow down and prevent developers from focusing on a new task ahead. It’s difficult to dive back into a pull request you submitted two days ago. (2) Feedback on code is hard to convey between one developer to another. It can be misinterpreted or even worse: not given at all.The ideal solution doesn’t need a new tool in our daily routine. Having in mind that most of the friction was in context-switching between Github and Slack, we decided to build a bridge between those two.So we developed Axolo as a bi-directional Github-Slack integration. Each pull request creates a temporary Slack channel where Github notifications are sent (comments, reviews, actions & deployments). The creator, reviewers, and assignees are invited to that channel. Then when the pull request is either closed or merged, we save the conversation as documentation in the Github pull request and archive the channel.We're not only a code review notification center. We consider each pull request as a small independent project where all people that take a part in it will be invited. Here’s a demo video ( of how it works, if you want to take a glance at our main features.Our public beta started three weeks ago. To sign up on Axolo, you need to install our Github app on your organization (we do not have access to your code) and our Slack app. Most of our features are free for everyone, but if you’re looking for specific settings & analytics, the professional plan is 8$/ engineer / month that you can try (you don't have to enter a credit card upfront).We know the Hacker News community is full of many engineers with deep experiences in code reviewing (and code shipping!) and we look forward to receiving your feedback on our work. Thank you!

I had very high hopes for this place, after the very good reviews Fate got and that Sens has been getting, but I was terribly disappointed. The mango papaya spring rolls were dominated by the flavor of anise/licorice. The shu mai dumplings were so hard, even hard-core Italians would have said they were too al dente. The black dragon chicken was good, but not great. After we left, we noticed the dinner menu was much more extensive, especially without the tapas. Maybe dinner here is a much better experience, but I'm not sure I'd even be willing to give it a try after the lunch I had here. As for the atmosphere and decor - don't even get me started. Talk about trying too hard to be hip. The Vegas-y blue lighting in the bar area, the Northwest coffehouse style old-looking couch in the back, the Asian influence...I'm not a proponent of "matchy-matchy" decor, but this was all over the place. Service was just okay, too. I won't be back any time soon.

The thesis focuses on ‘criminal entrepreneurs,’ i.e. those individuals who behave in an entrepreneurial manner who have chosen a life of crime to obtain an income or create wealth rather than setting up and running their own legitimate businesses. The research is based on male prisoners, predominantly fraudsters and drug dealers, and was motivated by the assertion that by understanding why they have chosen this way of life it may be possible to encourage such people to use their entrepreneurial skills in a legitimate context thereby reducing recidivism. Based on an epistemological constructivist approach, the methodology used was a phenomenological one and included a moral dilemma, an ethics questionnaire and personal construct psychology linked with case studies. This is a novel approach in that it uses Kelly’s (1955) personal construct theories and repertory grid techniques in order to identify the criminal entrepreneurs’ constructs and the moral stances that they adopt when making sense of their world. The findings showed that moral reasoning theories with respect to offenders do not offer a reliable guide to moral or ethical behaviour and ignore relationships which were an important feature of the criminal entrepreneur’s life. For instance a strong bond was found to exist between some of the respondents and their parents, particularly the mother, and role models were important in their lives

Hi HN - Hassaan, Quinn & Rishabh here and we're the founders of Tavus ( We generate personalized videos that realistically imitate your gestures and voice. See a short demo at and play with it at like Loom and Vidyard have proven the value of personalized videos for sales, onboarding, marketing, and more. The problem is the time it takes to create a video for each prospect. We make it scalable by generating thousands of personalized videos of you in the time it would take to record one. Our users get the benefits of personalized videos, like large increases in open and reply rates, without having to invest all that time.We struggled with LinkedIn outreach and email marketing at every company we all worked at. It took too many emails and felt spammy. The best responses we got were from emails that we wrote specifically for clients we were particularly interested in. We then tried our hand at video marketing, with generic videos sent to each lead over LinkedIn, which ultimately performed much better than any traditional campaigns we ran.What if we personalized the videos like we personalize emails at scale? We decided to test that, and the results were incredible. People loved the fact that we sent natural videos with our own voices and faces, and we achieved massive increases in demos booked (250% spike). The sales industry is seeing this shift towards more individualized video content as well; companies like Loom are growing rapidly and seeing validating results such as 4x meetings booked. We also found that these videos perform well outside of sales and marketing, specifically in recruiting, onboarding, and customer success.To get started with Tavus, users train an AI model with their voice and face, by submitting a 15 minute video recording. Next they set up a base video template(s) that includes the pitch that they will be giving in the video, along with the associated branded landing page and video background. Once that is set up, videos can be generated at the click of a button. One-off videos can be generated in the Tavus portal, or a CSV can be uploaded to process videos in bulk. Videos can also be generated programmatically through the Tavus API. Each video is automatically personalized in the user’s voice for each unique prospect, and can even automatically generate unique backgrounds, such as a prospects LinkedIn profile or website.People don’t notice imperfections if the content is interesting to them, and unless you are specifically looking for artifacts, Tavus videos are practically indiscernible from a manually recorded video. Therefore our focus is not on generating the most advanced voice-cloning or lip syncing—plenty of great researchers can do that way better than we ever could. Instead it is to provide many immersive personalization options that cater to the customers' leads. A recruiting company can use video outreach very differently than a sales company, and so on. Our core effort is supporting each of those use cases in depth.Also, people don’t trust videos that have professional green-screen backgrounds, perfect lighting and a voice actor recording for you. They want to see you, see that you are real, they want to hear your voice. In our experience, slight imperfections in your video can actually lead to better outcomes as long as you get the content right, as they make for a more engaging experience. The point is not to fool people into thinking that a recording is fully ‘natural’ but to provide them an immersive experience that is personally relevant to them.Our revenue is generated from a subscription model. These subscriptions typically include things like video strategy consulting, branded landing pages, and a quota of videos that can be generated per month,We would love to get your feedback on Tavus, and in particular, hear any ideas you have! We’re super excited about this product, and we’ve got a lot of work ahead of us :) Thank you!

Note 3 . Business Combinations OCO Holdings, Inc . On November 5, 2014, the Company completed the acquisition of OCO Holdings, Inc. (which includes other entities such as Olson + Co., Inc., and collectively, Olson ), a leading provider of marketing technology and digital services based in Minneapolis, Minnesota. As a result of the acquisition, Olson became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. The aggregate purchase price of approximately $298.2 million in cash was funded by the Company s Credit Facility (as defined in Note 6 Long-Term Debt below). The acquisition expanded the Company s existing digital technology and strategic communications work and strengthened its ability to bring more integrated solutions to an expanded client base, including multi-channel marketing initiatives across web, mobile, email, social, print, broadcast and off-premise platforms. For further discussion of the Olson acquisition, refer to Note F Business Combinations of the Company s Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, filed with the SEC on February 27, 2015. The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method. The allocation of the total purchase price to the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities of Olson is based on management s estimate of fair value as of the acquisition date and was completed in the third quarter of 2015. The Company engaged an independent valuation firm to assist management in the allocation of the purchase price to goodwill and to other acquired intangible assets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recorded an increase to goodwill of $5.8 million related to measurement-period adjustments to the preliminary purchase price allocation. The measurement-period adjustments include reductions of $7.3 million and $5.9 million to the valuation of fixed assets and accrued expenses and other liabilities, respectively, and increases of $0.2 million and $2.4 million to accrued

Title: Data-driven interactive 3D medical image segmentation based on structured patch model. Abstract: In this paper, we present a novel three dimensional interactive medical image segmentation method based on high level knowledge of training set. Since the interactive system should provide intermediate results to an user quickly, insufficient low level models are used for most of previous methods. To exploit the high level knowledge within a short time, we construct a structured patch model that consists of multiple corresponding patch sets. The structured patch model includes the spatial relationships between neighboring patch sets and the prior knowledge of the corresponding patch set on each local region. The spatial relationships accelerate the search of corresponding patch in test time, while the prior knowledge improves the segmentation accuracy. The proposed framework provides not only fast editing tool, but the incremental learning system through adding the segmentation result to the training set. Experiments demonstrate that the proposed method is useful for fast and accurate segmentation of target objects from the multiple medical images.

Bad Telkom customer service and retention. A BIG BOO BOO on Telkoms part on this one!!!Telkom, ran a special last month 40G + 40G and router for R369 in August. my Mom who is a pensioner (78 yrs old and only gets a govt grant), tried to change her package which is the same just the 20G + 20G one to this one, she pays nearly R480 a month for this. AS it is only a year old they refused, what a load of bull on Telkoms part, no wonder they loose customers all the time and she wont be renewing when the time comes, thats for sure.

I’m currently the CTO of a fairly rapidly growing startup. I am a decent software developer but not a great engineer. I’ve managed to scale the app pretty successfully until now but I feel like I’m am constantly stressed thinking about the next phase. I handle all things technical while the VP of engineering handles the people and process aspects of the team. Lately I have been thinking about stepping down and letting a better CTO come in and run things in the hope that I will be happier day to day. Have you done something similar to this and if so what was the outcome? Were you happier in your personal life?

This thesis examines China’s contemporary global cultural footprints through its recent development of cultural diplomacy and its global expansion of the Confucius Institute, whose prominent features are investigated by exploring the four specific research questions of ‘why’ China wants to launch cultural diplomacy and the CI, ‘what’ is the vehicle, ‘who’ is the agent, and ‘how’ it is carried out in the field. The thesis challenges the adequacy of the mainstream concepts of ‘soft power’ and ‘nation branding’ that are most commonly cited in the current literature, and argued for an alternative analytical framework that goes beyond and beneath these Western-defined concepts. After deciphering the multiple contexts, Gramsci’s concepts of cultural hegemony and ideology and Said’s critique of Orientalism are adopted to frame a different understanding of the historical and international contexts, while the double-edged role played by nationalism is analysed to deepen our understanding of the domestic context. \ud \ud The proposed new perspectives are then applied to chart the global cultural terrain of struggle, where the cultural encounters in the shifting global power relations between China’s long-held image as the “cultural other” and the ‘ideological other’ and its self-representations are examined. A comparative case study of the CIs, one of the most visible and controversial manifestations of China’s cultural diplomacy, is carried out to answer the main research question of why China’s similar efforts in promoting its culture were perceived and received differently to other Western countries and encountered unexpected controversies. The answers outline the unique challenges faced by China’s cultural diplomacy in both the cultural encounters and the interactions between its internal articulations and external communications. Primary data were collected from 25 interviews with staff from nine CIs in five different countries and one Goethe Institute in Beijing. The dynamics between these interweaving contexts elaborate the complexity of China’s cultural diplomacy and the CI project, whose prominent features are presented as the major research findings of this thesis, while what will make it a truly ‘great leap outward’ is also discussed

i adore this place! cute little shop, sweet owners, delish cookies - what more could you want?!?!? the urban was made for me. dark chocolate, coconut, and some nuts. uhhhhhh, hello, did i just wake up in heaven? their ice cream sandwiches are good - but i really wish they would make them on the spot, so you could get whatever cookies you wanted - right now it's all just standard chocolate cookies. a bit toooo sweet sometimes. i also had a special chocolate mint cookie sandwich, which was pretty good, but i had some serious chocolate overdose afterwards. not a huuuge fan of the cupcakes; i tried the brown velvet (i think that's what they called it). doesn't taste like red velvet, even though it's supposed to. but i mean, the place IS called urban COOKIES. yes, they are pricey, but what organic thing isn't?

When in the mood for bagels I go to Einstein's with my several year old yellow Einstein Brothers stainless coffee mug. I pick up an AZ Republic and order a toasted good grains bagel with garden veggie. I usually have the bagel in a basket by the time I get to check out or at worst when I am filling the coffee mug. The coffee is mellower than my usual Starbucks but compliments the bagel. Einstein's draws both the young and mature and I enjoy the ability to read the paper at my leisure either inside or outside in the morning shade.

Bad Costumer Service and lack of Knowledge Awful experience. Been waiting for a refund since October 2020. Rebooked a flight due to Covid. I didn't require a return ticket as I was immigrating and practicing EU Treaty Rights. (yes I was on SA passport but husband and daughter on EU passports) The rather brash lady in the Westcoast office was adamant I needed a return flight as "SHE" had a client stopped for not having a return flight... But when I asked was he practicing his EU Treaty Rights she couldn't answer me. My agent (Nathan October) complied and I was forced to buy a return which I couldn't afford really. My daughter mind you had a one - way ticket as did my husband. On arrival in Europe in October 2020 I sent a mail to cancel my flight back to SA as my passport was stamped saying I needn't return.... As I told Flight Centre. 16months later and after numerous ignored mails etc I get a mail saying I am owed ONLY R606... SERIOUSLY!!!! Shouldn't that agent be held liable for her hearsay and pay me back the full amount. Obviously she doesn't understand EU Treaty Rights and was out to make a quick buck and make the store look good when travel resumed... So ANGRY!! The sad thing is... She will deny everything.

Nature of the Business Surface Oncology, Inc. (the Company or Surface) is a clinical-stage immuno-oncology company focused on using its specialized knowledge of the biological pathways critical to the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME) for the development of next-generation cancer therapies. Surface was incorporated in April 2014 under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company is subject to risks common to early-stage companies in the biotechnology industry including, but not limited to, development by competitors of new technological innovations, protection of proprietary technology, dependence on key personnel, compliance with government regulations and the ability to obtain additional financing to fund operations. Product candidates currently under development will require significant additional research and development efforts, including extensive preclinical and clinical testing and regulatory approval, prior to commercialization. These efforts require significant amounts of additional capital, adequate personnel infrastructure and extensive compliance-reporting capabilities. Even if the Companys development efforts are successful, it is uncertain when, if ever, the Company will realize significant revenue from product sales. On May 1, 2019, the Company entered into a Capital on Demand Sales Agreement (the 2019 Sales Agreement) with JonesTrading Institutional Services LLC (JonesTrading) to issue and sell shares of the Companys common stock of up to $30,000 in gross proceeds, from time to time during the term of the 2019 Sales Agreement, through an at-the-market equity offering program under which JonesTrading acted as the Companys agent and/or principal (the 2019 ATM Facility). The 2019 ATM Facility provided that JonesTrading was entitled to compensation for its services in an amount of up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds of any shares sold under the 2019 ATM Facility. The Company had no obligation to sell any shares under the 2019 ATM Facility and could, at any time, suspend solicitation and offers under the 2019 Sales Agreement. In the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company sold 11,127,590 and 11,218,593 shares of common stock at-the-market under the 2019 Sales Agreement, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $28,766 and $29,086, respectively. Through June 30, 2020, the Company sold 11,229,174 shares of common stock at-the-market under the 2019 Sales Agreement, resulting in net proceeds of $29,110. As of June 30, 2020, the Company has fully utilized and closed the 2019 ATM Facility. On May 22, 2020, the Company entered into a Capital on Demand Sales Agreement (the 2020 Sales Agreement) with JonesTrading to issue and sell shares of the Companys common stock of up to $50,000 in gross proceeds, from time to time during the term of the 2020 Sales Agreement, through an at-the-market equity offering program under which JonesTrading will act as the Companys agent and/or principal (the 2020 ATM Facility). The 2020 ATM Facility provides that JonesTrading will be entitled to compensation for its services in an amount of up to 3.0% of the gross proceeds of any shares sold under the 2020 ATM Facility. The Company has no obligation to sell any shares under the 2020 ATM Facility and may, at any time, suspend solicitation and offers under the 2020 Sales Agreement. Through June 30, 2020, the Company has not sold any shares of common stock at-the-market under the 2020 Sales Agreement. The Companys financial statements have been prepared on the basis of continuity of operations, realization of assets and the satisfaction of liabilities and commitments in the ordinary course of business. The Company has primarily funded its operations with proceeds from the sales of redeemable convertible preferred stock, proceeds from a collaboration agreement with Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research, Inc. (Novartis), issuance of a debt facility with K2 Health Ventures LLC and proceeds from the Companys initial public offering of common stock. The Company has incurred losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $113,832. The Company expects that its operating losses and negative cash flows will continue for the foreseeable future. As of August 11, 2020, the issuance date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company expects that its cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $112,539, will be sufficient to fund its operating expenses, debt service obligations and capital expenditure requirements for at least the next 12 months. The future viability of the Company beyond that date is dependent on its ability to raise additional capital to finance its operations. The Company will seek additional funding through public financings, debt financings, collaboration agreements, strategic alliances and licensing arrangements. The Company may not be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms, or at all, and the Company may not be able to enter into collaborations or other arrangements. The terms of any financing may adversely affect the holdings or the rights of the Companys stockholders. If the Company is unable to obtain funding, the Company could be required to delay, reduce, or eliminate research and development programs, product portfolio expansion, or future commercialization efforts, which could adversely affect its business prospects. Although management continues to pursue these plans, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining sufficient funding on terms acceptable to the Company to fund continuing operations, if at all. The ongoing global outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has resulted in significant governmental measures being implemented to control the spread of the virus and while the Company cannot predict their scope or the severity of the outbreak, these developments and measures could materially and adversely affect the Company's business, the Company's results of operations and financial condition. The Company is closely monitoring the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of its business and have taken steps to minimize its impact on the Company's business. Although COVID-19 has not yet had a material adverse impact on our operations and our clinical and preclinical programs, the extent to which COVID-19 ultimately impacts the Company's business, results of operations or financial condition will depend on future developments which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, such as the duration of the outbreak, new information that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 or the effectiveness of actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, among others. Furthermore, for the safety of its employees, the Company has reduced the presence of its scientists in the Company's labs and is relying on third parties to conduct many of the experiments and studies for its research programs. Certain of the Company's third-party service providers have also experienced shutdowns or other business disruptions. As a result, the Company's ability to conduct its business in the manner and on the timelines presently planned could be materially or negatively affected, which could have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition.

The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis & Malaria (GF) offers new approaches and challenges in international aid for health. Little research is available exploring the experiences of individuals and communities working within the confines of GF policies in Latin America. The study fills this gap through a qualitative exploration of local experiences with tuberculosis (TB) services and the GF in Nicaragua. This study sought to examine local stakeholders’ (administrators, health personnel and persons affected by TB) experiences related to GF policies relevant to TB services in Nicaragua. The study drew from a population health perspective and was informed by an ethnomethodological approach. Key themes focused on TB control, health systems and health rights. Data collection involved contextual analysis, participant observation, in-depth interviews and focus groups. The study involved 6 months of fieldwork in Nicaragua from November 2005-April 2006. Fieldwork was conducted with the support, participation and assistance of the Centre for Health Research and Studies, the Damian Foundation and the National Tuberculosis Control Program. Analysis of findings shows various internal and external challenges in communication/procedural and disbursement/execution aspects of the GF grant. In TB control, participants identified private sector participation, case detection & reduced abandonment as improvements resulting from the GF project, though sustainability was a key concern. In health systems, concerns of efficiency and efficacy in the use of funds were commonly expressed. The focus on human resource development via the GF was considered a strength of the project. Community participation and the reduction of stigma, two facets of health rights, were perceived to have improved through the GF grant; however, remain identified as key issues for improving the context of TB in Nicaragua. The experiences of people working to implement or receiving TB services and GF activities in Nicaragua offer valuable insight into the strengths and challenges of this country-driven approach to aid for health. The GF needs to give more attention to such experiences a resource for improving flexibility and assuring sustainability in program strengthening and human resource development

NOTE 9 COMMITMENT AND CONTINGENCIES Litigation: On April 25, 2019, ECPower (HK) Company Limited (EC Power), a subsidiary of SEII, filed a claim against The Dairy Farm Limited (Dairy Farm) in respect of the cooperation agreement between the two parties for the battery rental business at 7-Eleven outlets in Hong Kong during the period from September 2017 to February 2018. The claim is for a total compensation of HK$1,395,000 (approximately $178,846) which comprises of (i) HK$45,000 (approximately $5,769) as compensation for interest and administration cost incurred as a result of Dairy Farms delay in payment of EC Powers share of the rental income, and (ii) HK$1,350,000 (approximately $173,077) as compensation for Dairy Farms early termination of the cooperation agreement without any valid proof of fault on the part of EC Power. Legal proceedings: On June 10, 2020, the Companys subsidiary, Ecrent Worldwide Company Limited (Ecrent Worldwide), a wholly owned subsidiary of Universal Sharing Limited (formerly known as Ecrent Holdings Limited), received a writ of summon (the Summon) issued by Messrs Wilkinson &amp; Grist on behalf of Mr. Michael Andrew BERMAN and Mr. Eric Hans ISRAEL, who were the former Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer of Ecrent (America) Company Limited (Ecrent America) and Ecrent (USA) Company Limited (Ecrent USA). Both Ecrent America and Ecrent USA were the former subsidiaries of Universal Sharing Limited. On the same day, the Summon also delivered to Mr. Chan Tin Chi, the major shareholder of SEII and his spouse, Ms. Deborah Yuen Wai Ming. Pursuant to the US Judgement dated on September 25, 2019 issued by the Supreme Court of the State of New York County of Nassau, the Summon demands Ecrent Worldwide, Mr. Chan Tin Chi, and Ms. Deborah Yuen Wai Ming to fully settle an amount of approximately $241,706 and $103,841 to Mr. Berman and Mr. Israel, respectively representing the unpaid salary, benefits, expenses and incentive bonus. SEII intends to dispute these proceedings that the US Judgement is not enforceable under the Hong Kong jurisdiction. In accordance with applicable accounting guidance, the Company records accruals for certain of its outstanding legal proceedings, investigations or claims when it is probable that a liability will be incurred, and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company evaluates, on a quarterly basis, developments in legal proceedings, investigations or claims that could affect the amount of any accrual, as well as any developments that would make a loss contingency both probable and reasonably estimable. The Company discloses the amount of the accrual if the financial statements would be otherwise misleading. When a loss contingency is not both probable and estimable, the Company does not establish an accrued liability. However, if the loss (or an additional loss in excess of the accrual) is at least a reasonable possibility and material, then the Company discloses an estimate of the possible loss or range of loss, if such estimate can be made or discloses that an estimate cannot be made.

Title: Associations between cognitive performance and cortisol reaction to the DEX/CRH test in patients recovered from depression. Abstract: Hyperactivity of the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in major depression (MDD) is one of the most reliably reported neurobiological characteristics of affective disorders. Whether these alterations in HPA axis regulation are limited to the acute stage of MDD or whether they persist after recovery, remains ambiguous. A relationship between hypercortisolemia and cognitive dysfunction in acutely depressed patients has been repeatedly observed and it was also demonstrated in a number of studies that a discrete cognitive impairment often persists in the remitted state of depression. In the present study we were interested, whether these subtle impairments in cognitive functioning observed in patients recovered from depression compared to healthy control subjects are associated with HPA axis feedback sensitivity. In 20 recovered patients and 20 matched healthy controls we assessed HPA axis feedback sensitivity with the combined dexamethasone suppression/corticotropin-releasing-hormone (DEX/CRH) challenge test. Furthermore cognitive performance was investigated with respect to the following domains: verbal memory (Auditory Verbal Learning Test, VLMT), attention and executive control (Trail Making Test, TMT-A/B) as well as verbal fluency (Controlled Oral Word Association Test, COWAT). Recovered patients showed a significantly poorer cognitive performance compared to healthy controls (all p<.05). With regard to HPA-axis activity, no overall difference was observed in the DEX/CRH test between recovered patients and controls. In recovered patients however, a significant association was observed between cortisol response and verbal memory (main effect VLMT trial 1-5: p=.046), attention (main effect TMT-A: p=.015) and executive functioning in terms of set shifting (interaction samples*TMT-B: p=.018). Poorer test performance was related to increased cortisol levels in response to challenge. The present findings suggest that patients recovered from MDD are especially vulnerable toward detrimental effects of subtle HPA axis disturbances on cognitive performance.

BONITAS BONCAP SUSPENSION OF BENEFITS BONITAS ATTITUDE STINKS AND ARE JUST GREEDY FOR MONEY.The reason I say that is based on my own experience and looking at all the various complaints on hellopeter which are similar to mine.i am a member since 2011,my benefits have been suspended,i have complied with the income verification process which was handed in timeously and dated 28jan2015,the bank account was debited with the normal premiuim and additional R2096 on the 1st march upon quering this with the broker and numerous emails to bonitas my broker,confirmed that the bank returned the additional premiuim.WHAT DOES BONITAS DO?they suspended my benefits which places me and my dependants at high risk,Bonitas insists I pay the R2096 to restore my benefits I don't see any justifiable reason to pay that amount since I complied with there income verification process on time.Since becoming a member of Bonitas there has never been a debit returned ,your premiums have always been collected on time.Is this the way Bonitas treats its loyal members?JOE

Imagine we want to build a new space port at one of four recently settled Martian bases, and are holding a vote to determine its location. Of the hundred colonists on Mars, 42 live on West Base, 26 on North Base, 15 on South Base, and 17 on East Base. For our purposes, let’s assume that everyone prefers the space port to be as close to their base as possible, and will vote accordingly. What is the fairest way to conduct that vote? The most straightforward solution would be to just let each individual cast a single ballot, and choose the location with the most votes. This is known as plurality voting, or "first past the post." In this case, West Base wins easily, since it has more residents than any other. And yet, most colonists would consider this the worst result, given how far it is from everyone else. So is plurality vote really the fairest method? What if we tried a system like instant runoff voting, which accounts for the full range of people’s preferences rather than just their top choices? Here’s how it would work. First, voters rank each of the options from 1 to 4, and we compare their top picks. South receives the fewest votes for first place, so it’s eliminated. Its 15 votes get allocated to those voters’ second choice— East Base— giving it a total of 32. We then compare top preferences and cut the last place option again. This time North Base is eliminated. Its residents’ second choice would’ve been South Base, but since that’s already gone, the votes go to their third choice. That gives East 58 votes over West’s 42, making it the winner. But this doesn’t seem fair either. Not only did East start out in second-to-last place, but a majority ranked it among their two least preferred options. Instead of using rankings, we could try voting in multiple rounds, with the top two winners proceeding to a separate runoff. Normally, this would mean West and North winning the first round, and North winning the second. But the residents of East Base realize that while they don’t have the votes to win, they can still skew the results in their favor. In the first round, they vote for South Base instead of their own, successfully keeping North from advancing. Thanks to this "tactical voting" by East Base residents, South wins the second round easily, despite being the least populated. Can a system be called fair and good if it incentivizes lying about your preferences? Maybe what we need to do is let voters express a preference in every possible head-to-head matchup. This is known as the Condorcet method. Consider one matchup: West versus North. All 100 colonists vote on their preference between the two. So that's West's 42 versus the 58 from North, South, and East, who would all prefer North. Now do the same for the other five matchups. The victor will be whichever base wins the most times. Here, North wins three and South wins two. These are indeed the two most central locations, and North has the advantage of not being anyone’s least preferred choice. So does that make the Condorcet method an ideal voting system in general? Not necessarily. Consider an election with three candidates. If voters prefer A over B, and B over C, but prefer C over A, this method fails to select a winner. Over the decades, researchers and statisticians have come up with dozens of intricate ways of conducting and counting votes, and some have even been put into practice. But whichever one you choose, it's possible to imagine it delivering an unfair result. It turns out that our intuitive concept of fairness actually contains a number of assumptions that may contradict each other. It doesn’t seem fair for some voters to have more influence than others. But nor does it seem fair to simply ignore minority preferences, or encourage people to game the system. In fact, mathematical proofs have shown that for any election with more than two options, it’s impossible to design a voting system that doesn’t violate at least some theoretically desirable criteria. So while we often think of democracy as a simple matter of counting votes, it’s also worth considering who benefits from the different ways of counting them.

ACQUISITIONS Results of acquired dealerships are included in our accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income commencing on the date of acquisition. Our acquisitions are accounted for such that the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized at their acquisition date fair values, with any excess of the consideration transferred over the estimated fair values of the identifiable net assets acquired recorded as goodwill. Goodwill is an asset representing operational synergies and future economic benefits arising from other assets acquired in a business combination that are not individually identified and separately recognized. The fair value of our manufacturer franchise rights are determined at the acquisition date, by discounting the projected cash flows specific to each franchise. Included in this analysis are market participant assumptions, at a dealership level, regarding the cash flows directly attributable to the franchise rights, revenue growth rates, future gross margins and future SG&amp;A expenses. Using an estimated WACC, estimated residual values at the end of the forecast period and estimated future capital expenditure requirements, the Company calculates the fair value of the franchise rights. During the three months ended March 31, 2017 , we acquired the assets of two franchises ( two dealership locations) and one collision center in the Indianapolis, Indiana market for a purchase price of $80.1 million . We financed these acquisitions with $55.0 million of cash and $25.1 million of floor plan borrowings for the purchase of the related new vehicle inventory. Below is the preliminary allocation of purchase price for the acquisitions completed during the three months ended March 31, 2017 . We have not finished our final assessments of third party real estate appraisals and our internal valuation of manufacturer franchise rights and the assignment of goodwill to reporting units. The $38.9 million of goodwill and manufacturer rights associated with our acquisitions will be deducti
