a. When AC Speed purchases merchandise (inventory only) from a supplier or vendor on account, they receive credit terms of 2/15, net 30.
b. When AC Speed sells merchandise to a customer on account, they offer that customer credit terms of 2/30, net 45.
c. AC Speed accounts for the specific types of merchandise in their inventory with a set of subsidiary ledgers (inventory control cards). The balances in these subsidiary ledger records, in total, must equal the balance in the Merchandise Inventory account in the general ledger.
d. AC Speed uses a perpetual inventory accounting system and a last-in, first-out (LIFO) inventory costing method.
e. Subsidiary ledger records are kept for each customer and for each vendor. The balances in the customer subsidiary ledger records, in total, must equal the Accounts Receivable account balance in the general ledger. The balances in the vendor subsidiary ledger records, in total, must equal the Accounts Payable account balance in the general ledger.
1. Record each business transaction, in sequence by date, in the appropriate special journal or the general journal. Also, immediately record any transaction involving inventory, a customer, or a vendor in the appropriate subsidiary ledger record.
2. At the end of the month, post each entry in the general journal to the general ledger.
3. At the end of the month, total each column in each special journal and post that total to the general ledger. EXCEPT for entries in the "Other" columns, which must be posted individually to the general ledger.
4. When posting is completed, bring the balance in each general ledger account up to date.
5. When posting is completed, bring the balance in each subsidiary ledger account up to date.
6. At this point in the closing process, the balances of all subsidiary ledger accounts would be totaled and that total compared to the balance of the corresponding control account in the general ledger. That is, the total of inventory control cards would be compared to the Merchandise Inventory balance; the customer subsidiary ledger total to the Accounts Receivable balance; and the vendor subsidiary ledger total to the Accounts Payable balance. Any discrepancies would be investigated and corrected. Given the limited scope of this project scenario, reconciliation between subsidiary ledgers and control accounts is not possible.
7. List all general ledger account balances in the unadjusted trial balance columns of the worksheet. Use the sum function in Excel to total the debit and credit columns. These totals should be equal.
8. Prepare the end-of-month adjusting entries. Record these entries in the general journal and post them to the general ledger. Also record the adjusting entries in the designated columns in the worksheet and total the debit and credit columns. These totals should be equal.
9. Update general ledger account balances after posting adjusting journal entries.
10. Complete the unadjusted trial balance columns on the worksheet. Use Excel formulas to carry balances from the unadjusted trial balance columns, adjusting as necessary by entries in the adjustments columns. Check your results against the balances recorded in the general ledger.
11. Sort the dollars recorded in the adjusted trial balance columns into either the income statement or the balance sheet columns. Total these columns. The entry of net income should cause the debit and credit columns to equal one another.
12. Use the income statement information on the worksheet to prepare a multi-step income statement in good form. .
13. Prepare a statement of retained earnings in good form. Remember that net income from your just-completed income statement is a necessary component of this statement.
14. Use the balance sheet information on the worksheet to prepare a classified balance sheet. Remember that the ending retained earnings balance from the just-completed statement is a necessary component of the equity section of the balance sheet.
15. Prepare the end-of-month closing entries. Record these entries in the general journal and post them to the general ledger. Update balances in the general ledger accounts.
16. List the general ledger accounts that have balances other than zero on the post-closing trial balance. The totals of the debit column and the credit column should be equal.


Hi Larry, could you go over the tactical options you have against half-long backspin balls, either from a serve or a push? My coach feels that the extra distance may make it more difficult to flip, and since it only just goes off the end, I think that makes it hard to take a strong loop since you don't have room to swing. Trying to push it short also seems tricky. What to do..
First, sorry about the delay in responding - as I noted in my blog this morning, the software that's supposed to notify me when someone comments stopped working, and suddenly this morning I received floods of notifications of comments (and spam) that came over the last ten days or so.
Mark has covered the topic rather well, so I don't have much more to add. Here are a few comments.
It is correct that the longer a short serve or push is (i.e. the closer the second bounce gets to the edge without actually going long), the harder it is to flip. Also, a flip off a shorter ball gives you more angle and rushes the opponent more, so off the longer ball it is less effective. That's why top players often try to serve and push so that the second ball is near the edge.
It's a good idea to do a drill where your opponent serves or pushes these "tweeny" serves (that's what many call them, as well as "half-long"), and you try to judge if they are long or short. The most important thing about them is being able to recognize them early.
If they are slightly long, you can loop them, as long as you recognize them as long quickly. Then you can set up right up against the table, so you are looking down at the table edge, with the racket below the edge, and just lift the ball up and forward.
Note that you can loop a short ball if the second bounce is too near the edge by going over the table, especially against a sidepsin or topspin serve. (It's harder against a heavy backspin, since it's harder to lift the ball if you are going over the table.) It's probably easier to do this with the backhand. Fan Yiyong and Han Xiao are two USA players who are excellent at this.
A half-long ball that goes to a corner can be angled right back with a quick, angled push. A half-long ball that goes to the middle is more troublesome as you can't really angle it very wide. However, you can hold back on your direction until the last second, and then quick push to a corner.
Some players learn to return nearly all half-long serves with their forehand, so they can either forehand loop or push, and the opponent doesn't know until the last second which it will be. However, if you have a good backhand loop, then you can do the same on the backhand.
Note that you can loop a short ball if the second bounce is too near the edge by going over the table, especially against a sidepsin or topspin serve. (It's harder against a heavy backspin, since it's harder to lift the ball if you are going over the table.) It's probably easier to do this with the backhand.
That is a good tip !
I wonder why it is easier with the BH to lift the ball up while it is not possible with the FH (assuming right handed players). I thought the BH stance does not offer anything extra for this situation over the FH stance.
It's generally easier to loop over the table with the backhand against a short serve or push because it's easier to use the wrist on the backhand when looping over the table. You can do it on the forehand as well, but most find this more awkward.

I don't have to worry any more about winning a tournament or reaching 2000. I have reached the pinnacle of all my TT dreams. I am going to print this out, frame it, and put it up on the wall next to my USATT U1500 Finalist (fancy way of saying finals loser) medal.
Seriously, tonight at the club I tried to use a little bit of what I wrote above and I did have some success. I still really need to work a lot more on my deception.
That gives me a lot of good ideas to work with.
Quality of a shot can be thought of as consisting of speed, spin, placement, quickness (giving opponent less time to hit) and deception. In the case of the half-long serve you describe, the serve limits your ability to hit higher quality speed and spin. It also does limit short placement. So what you have left to work with is quickness, placement (deep and left/right) and deception.
In terms of quickness on the serve return think more about timing disruption. Simply push deep but take one ball very early off the bounce, others at the top, and others as the ball is falling. Taking it early off the bounce is a pure example of increasing quality by quickness. Varying where you take it (early, top, falling) is actually more in the vein of deception.
Since you are not going to hit as hard or spinny your placement has to be much better to get a qualilty shot. Focus on high accuracy to the elbow area with the return to limit the opponents power on his return and perhaps get him out of position if he steps around but does not get back into position. Hit balls (flip or push) really deep wherever you place them Fh/Bh/or El or go really wide cutting the corner if the serve location gives you a good angle to do this. Try to learn the ability to place each type of service return to multiple locations for each of the various service spins you normally get.
On the deception side you can push with different amounts of spin. Use a little lift to hit a dead push. Push normal, but add a little fake wrist motion after contact to make it look like heavy spin. If flipping make sure you have the ability to flip down-the-line as well as cross-court. Try to start both strokes the same and only make the change at the last moment. Even weak down-the-line flips are often so unexpected that they win points.
Your opponent has hit a good quality shot that keeps you from attacking him effectively with a winning (or even forcing) shot off that kind of serve. You need to respond with high quality placement, deception, and variability of shot so that you put them in the same situation where they have great difficulty in hitting the kind of attacking shot that will be a winner.
At the higher levels I think you really have to learn to hit these half-long serves short or flip them very aggressively since the attacks against any long balls are so strong. Even then, using the things listed above, can provide variability that can affect your opponent just enough that he does not get to hit his strongest shot.
All this is so easy to say and so very difficult to do. I am pretty good at placement to the elbow with a deep push and am beginning to learn to vary the timing (early,top,falling) on my pushes. My deception is just about zero and trying any usually results in totally missing the shot. I do not even have a flip. Your post reminds me I need to think more about what I am trying to do with each serve return before I get in my ready position. Good luck.

TODAY'S DEBATE
Defund the GOP: The Republican Party needs saving, and Mitt Romney knows how
Utah senator is defying President Trump, unlike other GOP senators not facing reelection. Three are retiring, but they also have remained silent: Our view
Mitt Romney has been showing the kind of political courage and independent thinking that is rare in an era of hyperpartisanship, particularly within the Republican Party.
He was the only Republican in either chamber to vote against President Donald Trump on impeachment. He has joined former Secretary of State Colin Powell in refusing to back Trump for reelection. And he appears to be the only GOP member of Congress to take part in one of the many anti-racism protests sweeping the country.
While we have no special insight into Romney's motivations, we'd be very surprised if this were some effort to rebrand himself as a moderate. The Utah senator, and former GOP presidential candidate, is a conservative — opposed to abortion and supportive of free enterprise, robust trade, a strong national defense and social policies that generally reflect traditional values.,
Shrinking GOP, growing resentment
Romney is not a politician departing the Republican Party but one trying to save it. He is saying and doing things that other Republicans would like to join in on, but can't without risking the wrath of Trump supporters in their next primary election.
Romney knows that today's GOP is on an unsustainable path, built on a base shrinking in numbers while increasing in resentment. The Republican Party has become three things, none of them good:
►A cult of personality in which lifelong public servants are forced to pay obeisance to a lawless, petty and incompetent leader; where principled dissent isn't allowed, and where it is all but impossible for lawmakers to forge an identity beyond that of loyal acolyte.
►An organization dedicated to the airing of white grievances as it pushes counterproductive and often cruel immigration policies and tacitly supports racist and white supremacist causes. (In some cases, such as the recent tweets of Texas party leaders, the support for racist conspiracy theories has been explicit.)
►An institution perfectly willing to cling to power against popular sentiment through the grotesque gerrymandering of legislative districts and blatant voter suppression laws and policies.
OTHER VIEWS:Where is Ronald Reagan's American beacon on the hill?
President Reagan's final speech
Needless to say, this a long way from the ideas espoused by the GOP's last great president, Ronald Reagan. He so adulated the entrepreneurial-minded, religiously conservative immigrant that he made his final comment of his final speech from the Oval Office a recommendation that America open its doors to "anyone with the will and the heart to get here."
Reagan also firmly believed — not without considerable evidence — that Republican candidates would win fair and free elections simply by communicating their highly appealing ideas.
Today, Republicans claim to revere Reagan while disavowing much of what he stood for, including political views grounded in reality and open to productive compromise.
Except Romney. He is willing to endure presidential tweetstorms, grassroots tantrums and broadsides from conservative pundits because he sees a party with little to be proud of as it hurtles toward oblivion.
One easy explanation for Romney's behavior is that he has the luxury of not facing voters until 2024, and might not even run then anyway. But nine other Republican senators won't be up till then either, yet they have remained silent. Three could speak up because they are retiring, but they also haven't.
When the Republican Party is ready to abandon its destructive dalliance with attempted despotism, Romney will have earned a leading voice in rebuilding it.

These rodents had been produced in cooperation with the Transgenic Mouse Service at UTMB (movie director Dr. Meters. Wakamiya). For genotyping, genomic DNA was singled out from end biopsy examples and broken down with rodents by intraperitoneal shot of tamoxifen (20 mg/ml, 100 m/mouse), once daily for 5 times (40).

Home Canadian History The Tale of Flowerpot Island: A Native Legend
The Tale of Flowerpot Island: A Native Legend
The tale of Flowerpot Island evokes thoughts of mystery and intrigue on an island that possesses rich natural and human history.
The tale of Flowerpot Island is one of the many colorful tales that dots the historic landscape of the Bruce Peninsula region of the Province of Ontario.
Flowerpot Island is located in Georgian Bay a few miles east of the village of Tobermory at the tip of the Bruce Peninsula. Flowerpot Island features not only unique landforms and vegetation, but also a mysterious tale of romance.
Arriving at the island, one is overcome by the beauty of the scenery. Perhaps the most unique of all the plants are the gnarled tiny trees that dot the landscape, especially along the shoreline. At first glance one thinks that these are young plants waiting to grow to full maturity. But, most are many centuries old. The growth has been limited by the lack of soil between the cracks and crevices of the rocky outcrops along the shoreline.
The island's eastern shore possesses an even more astounding sight. There standing on the shoreline, like two majestic sentinels warning passersby of the presence of the island, stand two stone structures, carved over time by the wind, rain, and the waves to look like large flower pots.
Although early sailors likened the structures to ancient Roman wine jars, there is another story behind the flowerpots that probably predates the earliest visitations by Europeans to the region. It is a native legend that is not dissimilar to Shakespeare's tale of Romeo and Juliet.
Many years ago, there were two native tribes who lived on the Bruce Peninsula. Unfortunately, these two communities spent more time fighting each other than they did working as allies. At one point in history, a young man from one of the tribes fell in love with the daughter of the chief of the rival clan.
After many clandestine meetings the young couple decided to get married. Knowing that neither of their families would favor such a union, the two decided to elope. Late one night the two lovers met near the princess' encampment. It was not long before the chief's daughter's absence was discovered. Realizing that an elopement had probably occurred, the men of the tribe took off after the couple.
The lovers made their way to the shoreline, where they boarded a canoe. With the young woman's tribe in hot pursuit they paddled frantically towards the island on the horizon. When their pursuers arrived at Flowerpot Island, an extensive search failed to produce the couple. It was if they had been swallowed up in the night.
Native legend suggested that the island was the realm of evil spirits and consequently, it had never been inhabited. It was believed that the evil forces had engulfed the couple and they were never seen again.
What became of the young lovers will never be known. But, if you look carefully at the top of the largest flowerpot, you will see what appears to be the profile of a native warrior carved in the stone.

"When It's Springtime in Alaska (It's Forty Below)" is a 1959 single by Johnny Horton, written by Tillman Franks and released through Columbia Records. The single was Johnny Horton's sixth release on the country chart and the first of three number ones on the country chart.  The single spent twenty-three weeks on the chart. The song was a marginally successful crossover, reaching #85 on the Music Vendor Pop Top 100.

The song takes place in Fairbanks, Alaska in the springtime. The narrator/singer is a prospector making a trip to Fairbanks after two years in the wilderness; he decides to visit a saloon and hears "redheaded Lil" singing the title words. He and Lil spend the evening dancing, but the singer is unaware that Lil is "Big Ed's wife-to-be." Big Ed discovers the two dancing and throws his knife at the singer, who predicts that he will not survive his wound: "When it's springtime in Alaska, I'll be six feet below."

The lyrics say the temperature outside is . While it is very rare for the temperature to actually be that low in the springtime in Fairbanks, it has happened. A low temperature of  was recorded at the Fairbanks International Airport on March 30, 1970. The coldest time of the year in Fairbanks is around January 13 of each year, with night-time low temperatures at this time averaging around  and daytime high temperatures averaging around . The coldest-ever low temperature recorded there was , on December 28 and 29, 1961.  A temperature of  was recorded in Fairbanks on January 14, 1934.

Q: Linear Mapping using the range being contained in the kernel Suppose V is vector space and S,T ∈ L(V,V) are such that
range(S) ⊂ ker(T).
Prove (ST)(ST) = 0
Now, I know that this means that if you apply the linear transformation S to any v in V, then you get S(v) = 0. Apart from that, I am a little stuck as to how I should solve this problem... Any help would be appreciated!

Jamaica to include nuclear power in its energy mix
The Jamaican Government is looking to incorporate nuclear power in the country's energy mix according to Minister of Science, Energy & Technology, Daryl Vaz. He added that it will be used as a medium to long-term option. "It is something that we believe that any country, like Jamaica, would have to think of for energy security, especially because it is [renewable]," Vaz said during a Heads of Science Round Table Discussion at the Ministry's office in Kingston. He said the government "recognises the importance of science to nation building", and that "it must become a way of life in Jamaica".
Professor Charles Grant, Director General of the International Centre for Environmental & Nuclear Sciences (ICENS), welcomed the news and noted that newer and smaller nuclear reactors were safe for generating electricity."I am looking towards a bright future… having nuclear power here. Jamaica is a regional leader for nuclear technology and having a nuclear reactor here for the past 40 years that we have run safely and securely, is the foundation for this big step."
ICENS, at the University of West Indies in Kingston, uses the Jamaican Safe Low Power Critical Experiment (SLOWPOKE-2) nuclear reactor to aid in research and national development initiatives.
The 20kW, Canadian-designed reactor is used for neutron activation analysis research, which has applications in environmental, agricultural and health-related studies. Jamaica also earlier this year launched its first public nuclear medicine centre in the University Hospital of the West Indies in Kingston.

Feel tired, bloated and guilty after consuming too much sugar, carbs, alcohol and salts? It might be time for body detox.
While our body is designed to detox naturally, sometimes, it can use a little help. In this blog post, we'll give you some simple ways to cleanse your body without going hungry or depriving yourself of essential nutrients. Read on to find a cleansing method that works for you.
We all know that exercise can help us shed some pounds and is an essential part of a healthy lifestyle. But it is also a great option to turn to if you want to clear your body of toxins.
Our skin is a major eliminative organ. The more you sweat, the more efficient your body becomes at circulating and flushing out toxins. Start your day with physical activity. Go for a walk, do yoga exercises or hit the treadmill. You can also go the sauna once a week so your body can eliminate waste through perspiration.
Green tea is a much better choice if you need caffeine to get going in the morning. Coffee contains toxins that can impair kidney and liver function. Plus, it can contribute to dehydration.
An occasional cup of coffee is fine. But if you want to cleanse your body, you might want to replace coffee with green tea. Green tea contains a small amount of caffeine, which is enough to help you jumpstart your day. Add to that, it also offers antioxidants that our body needs.
Stock your home with healthy and delicious foods such as fruits, vegetables and taking a good quality probiotic such as coconut or water kefir. Don't forget to add foods that are rich in Omega 3 fatty acids like flax seeds, olive oil, walnuts, tuna and salmon. High fiber, high water fruits such as avocado, olives, cantaloupe, pears, grapefruit and berries will help keep your digestive system active and clean out your gut.
As a way to eat healthier, try incorporating organic foods into your diet in addition to increasing fruits and vegetables. Eating organic can have a drastic effect on keeping your digestive system active and your body healthy.
Since excess salt, sugar and alcohol can dehydrate our body, you need to increase your fluid intake. Make sure, however, that the water you drink is filtered to remove toxins such as Fluoride, chlorine, and other chemicals and pathogens.
How much water should you drink every day? Experts suggest 11 cups (2.7 liters) for the average female adult and 15 cups (3.7 liters) for the average adult male. Proper hydration can contribute to properly functioning organs, healthier skin and a more effective metabolism. It's also one of the easiest ways to detox your body.

Haw Par Villa is a former amusement park that is now free for the public to visit. It displays a number of Chinese tales about good and evil with puppets. Part of the park is a tunnel with the 10 stages of hell a bad person has to go through.
The characters are completely random and vary between rabbits, people and bears.
The park is really strange and most parts are badly maintained.
Fortunately they started restoring the park by re-painting all the displays.
After the park we headed back to the subway to go to Sentosa Island.
This the entertainment island with Universal studios, beaches, water parks and pretty much every other form of entertainment you can imagine.
We settled with just visiting the beach. In the background you can see hundreds of ships anchored, waiting for a job. On the other side of the cable car is Mount Faber. It offers a nice view of the city.
The evening was setting in, it was time for our final evening in Singapore. We headed to the Gardens at the Bay, a giant park near the waterfront. One of the attractions is an indoor "Cloud walk" where you walk down a giant mountain covered with plants.
Outside are the most know features of the park, Giant towers covered in plants and emitting lights. You can take a skywalk between the towers, but we got there too late to buy tickets. Fortunatley a nice man approached us and gave his tickets so we were the last to take the walk that day.
We ended the day in our home-base, Chinatown, with a nice drink.

About Gwalior
Gwalior is a major city in the India states of Madhya pradesh Known for its rich cultural heritage, the city of Gwalior has played an integral role in Indian history from ancient times,through the medieval era, and later during the Moghul and British colonial rule. The bustling city atop a hill, is dominated by the Gwalior fort which has been the battleground for many struggles for power. It is having a good historical and architectural significance.Gwalior according to ancient history was Gopalkash, said to be the same place where Bhima from the epic Mahabharata attained victory. Archeological excavations reveal that the city dates back to the middle Stone ages and Iron Age. The actual city was founded back in the 8th A.D. by Suraj Sen, the head of the Kachwaha clan. Legend has it, that a sage called Gwalipa, cured him of leprosy and thus the king named his city Gwalior. The city became the seat of power for many dynasties to come. From the 11th - 15th century, the medieval era saw the rule of Rajputs. This was followed by intervention by the Mughals, who were dethroned by the Rajput ruler Raja Man Singh, but only for a short
while.

Water for Elephants Love
Love is a driving force in Water for Elephants, and it's not limited to the love one human feels for another. People also love animals, and animals love them back. It shouldn't be a surprise that in the prologue we can't tell whether Jacob is talking about Marlena or Rosie when he uses the word "she" – he loves them both and thinks of them both as individuals.
Human love can be found inside or outside of marriage in this novel; the two don't necessarily go together. Jacob and Marlena fall in love while she's bound to someone else, and they make their emotional and physical pledges to one another in spite of that. Do you think the author, Sara Gruen, makes a judgment call on this? Or does she let the readers decide for themselves?
In both cases, the love we see in Water for Elephants is far from traditional.
Questions About Love
Do you think August really loves Marlena? Why or why not?
Which is the most loving relationship described in the book? Why do you think so?
Is it right for Jacob and Marlena to commit adultery? Can they justify their actions?
Do you think the events of the book support the idea that love can conquer all?
Without her love for Jacob, Marlena might never have been able to get away from August.
If Jacob really loved Marlena, he wouldn't have kept Rosie's secret from her.

Oshin, the stellar debut album by Brooklyn band DIIV answers a question that none of us knew we wanted to answer: Is it possible to make a great album where every song sounds like it should soundtrack a beer commercial? The answer, it turns out, is a resounding "yes."
Allow me to clarify when I say that this album sounds like a beer commercial. When you watch a commercial, the advertisers can't explicitly show the people in the ad drinking beer. Instead, they're forced to foster association -- to time, to place, to certain feelings. Often, the beer isn't really the focus at all. It's a feeling they're selling you, a yearning for something else. DIIV sells you this feeling better than Budweiser ever could.
Formed last year by Brooklynite Zachary Cole Smith, a Nirvana obsessive who'd done time in fellow BK outfit Beach Fossils, DIIV -- originally known as "Dive" after the Nirvana track, natch -- was originally meant as a pet project for Smith, who, back from tour with Beach Fossils, had found himself feeling isolated in the city. In this way, Oshin captures a sensation that's quintessentially "New York" -- that of feeling alone in a sea of people.
The vocals are a big part of this effect -- it feels as if Smith is singing perfectly clearly, but it's nearly impossible to make out what he's saying. It's a cunning use of the fuzzy haze that permeates much of contemporary indie guitar-rock, but instead of employing reverb for the sake of pure sonic aesthetics, Smith uses it to erect a wall.
On the whole, Oshin creates an appealing synthesis. There is the Nirvana influence that informs more of Smith's being than perhaps even he would like to admit (watch the band live, and the kid looks like he's channeling Kurt Cobain effortlessly), but it's filtered through a sheen of shoegaze, with the ad infinitum repetition of Krautrock icons Kraftwerk thrown in there for good measure.
It's a guitar-driven record, one that could have been released at any point in the past forty years or so. It's not an album of hooks, though you'd be hard-pressed to find more memorable guitar lines than the ones that crop up in "Earthboy" and "Druun." Bushels of indie-rock records get released every year, all taking the meat-and-potatoes of the guitar/bass/drums setup and trying to hit paydirt. Many fail, but DIIV has succeeded. They realized it wasn't about the instruments -- it's about feelings.

I love a good reason to swap out the mom clothes and ponytails for high heels and lipstick and this evening was no exception. Tonight I attended my fourth Vancouver Mom blogging celebration and it was especially fun as the blogger I nominated took home the winning prize as this years top Vancouver Mom blogger. Congratulations to my friend Mitzi of EastVanBaby for her big win this year!
From reading Twitter there were some Vancouver Mom's who bought new frocks and had their hair done (I wish I was so organized, truly), I stood in front of my closet in my Spanx and fancy bra an hour I needed to be there and tried to figure out what to throw together to attend this years Glam event. I pulled out a black dress that I had made way back when Ben was 5 weeks old and I was a bridesmaid in my sisters wedding. It turns out that picking black for your bridesmaids really does help them wear the dress again! Yes, I totally wore a bridesmaids dress to this event. I chose some sparkly gold heels from 2007 and accessorized appropriately with some jewels circa 2006. What's old is new again, now thats true glam!
Last year when I attended this event, I left behind a little baby in tiny pyjamas who was used to me putting her to sleep and I ran home to get to her. This year I cuddled my girl in her toddler jams and left her to go to bed with her dad (our new normal). I did love her movie star smooches before I went out the door and know that next year she will probably walk me to the front door.
I really loved meeting so many lovely Vancouver bloggers tonight. It was particularly awesome to see some of the previous years Top Vancouver Mom bloggers and be able to feel so totally comfortable chatting with them.

Home/Science/India is the fifth weakest country out of 181 countries with the highest risk of climate change.
India is the fifth weakest country out of 181 countries with the highest risk of climate change.
Sachin Gill December 6, 2019
Facebook Twitter LinkedIn Tumblr Pinterest Reddit WhatsApp Telegram Share via Email
According to a new report commissioned on December 4, 2019, India is the fifth weakest country out of 181 countries most at risk of climate change impact. Japan is the weakest, followed by the Philippines, Germany, and Madagascar.
India has the highest (2,081) deaths in 2018 due to extreme weather events due to climate change – cyclone, heavy rainfall, floods and landslides – found 15th edition of the Global Climate Risk Index 2020 prepared by Bonn-based think-tank Germanwatch . .
Overall, India's economic loss due to climate change was the second highest in the world with 2.7 lakh crore rupees ($ 37 billion) – nearly as much as its defense budget in 2018. This translates to losing about 0.36 percent per unit of GDP.
COP25: India is fifth weakest among 181 countries due to climate change

The report comes as representatives of 197 countries around the world in Spain's capital Madrid, for the annual climate discussion at the 25th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP25).
The Global Climate Risk Index is based on an analysis of worldwide data on extreme weather events provided by the German reinstatement Munichrek Nächtasserweis – a comprehensive database of natural disasters. The index does not take into account rising sea levels, glacier melting or slower processes of more acidic and warmer seas due to climate change.
More extreme weather events in 2018
India's overall ranking on the index slipped from 14 points to nine points in 2017 to 5th in 2018 due to extreme weather events.
The report said, "The monsoon season, which runs from June to September, severely affects India in 2018." A landslide caused by floods in Kerala has left 324 dead, 220,000 dead. More people had to leave their homes, 20,000 houses and 80 dams were destroyed, causing a loss of 20,000 crore rupees ($ 2.8 billion). The report states.
The eastern coast of India hit two cyclones, Titli and Gaza, in October and November 2018 respectively. The report said that with a wind speed of 150 kmph, Cyclone Titley killed at least eight people and left no electricity around 450,000.
India also had one of the longest recorded heatwaves in 2018, with temperatures soaring to 48 degrees Celsius, resulting in hundreds of deaths. This, mixed with a water shortage, led to prolonged droughts, widespread crop failure, violent riots, and increased migration. The report said that the most affected areas in the central, northern and western parts of the country were among the poorest areas in India.
Image of cyclone Titli in Odisha
The report states that India has experienced 11 of its 15 hottest years since 2004 (record-keeping began in 1901) and an estimated 25,000 Indians have died since 1992.
India is under extreme heat due to low per capita income, social inequality and heavy dependence on agriculture. By 2050, India will lose 5.8 percent of its working hours due to heat stress, which is equivalent to 34 million full-time jobs out of a total of 80 million worldwide. In India, agriculture and construction, the two largest employers, will bear the brunt of this loss in productivity, the report said.
India's overall ranking on the index has fluctuated over the past five years. But it has always been one of the five biggest economic losses due to climate change. This is also the highest number of deaths due to extreme weather events in four to five years.
The poorest countries with the worst losses are unable to bear the loss
GermanWatch also created a long-term index of climate change vulnerability, based on data on climate change impacts in the 20 years between 1999 and 2018. India was ranked 17th among the weakest countries. Puerto Rico was the weakest after Myanmar, Haiti, the Philippines, and Pakistan.
Seven of the 10 most-affected countries and regions in the long-term index are low-income or low-middle-income, two are upper-middle-income (Thailand and Dominica), and one (Puerto Rico) is a high-income country. .
The Germanwatch report states that low-income countries are most affected by climate change, but have little potential.
As IndiaSpend reported on December 2, 2019, in a more recent report by more than 100 civil society organizations, the United States and the 27-country European Union were blamed for the bulk of historic carbon emissions.
It is a daily reality for millions of people in the global South who are on the crisis front. These are communities in India whose lives and livelihoods were devastated by two severe cyclones this year.

Erandagi is a village in Basavakalyana taluk, Bidar District. The Manager of Krishna Grameena Bank visited the village to have a meeting with the Panchayat members and village leaders to open a Bank Branch in Erandagi. The SHG women were called for the meeting and the issue was raised at the meeting. 120 women took part in the meeting. During the discussion the manager enquired about the NGOs working in the particular area. The Panchayat leaders in loud voice called out ORBIT the best NGO in the area working for the empowerment of women. He earnestly requested the cooperation from the SHG women and promised them that very soon they will have a bank in Erandagi.
Today, one of the SHG members' sons is working in the Bank. More than 100 women have opened their personal bank accounts. Since ORBIT and the SHG women are recognized by the bank, even the villagers primarily because of the women's participation and economic empowerment benefiting from the bank facilities. The women are very grateful to ORBIT, for the constant support and handholding given to them. This has boosted their morale to work for the wellbeing of the society.

Singapore – Response To Feedback From Public Consultation On Amendments To The Exchange Of Information Regime.
Legal News & Analysis – Asia Pacific – Singapore – Tax
On 18 July 2013, the Ministry of Finance ("MOF") had issued a consultation paper on proposed legislative amendments to be made to the Income Tax Act ("Act") in order to give effect to a revised Exchange of Information ("EOI") framework intended to enhance cross-border cooperation in tax cases. Please click here to view Drew & Napier LLC's update on this.
MOF has now responded to public feedback on the consultation paper and this update discusses MOF's responses.
KEY RESPONSES TO THE PUBLIC CONSULTATION
Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act
Earlier on, MOF had announced that Singapore would be concluding with the United States, an Inter-Governmental Agreement ("IGA") that will facilitate financial institutions in Singapore in complying with the United States' Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act ("FATCA").
The draft Income Tax (Amendment) Bill, which was annexed to the consultation paper, had contained a proposed new section 105K that was worded to enable the Minister to make an order to implement the IGA. The IGA itself was described in section 105K as an agreement between Singapore and the United States to implement FATCA.
Following public feedback, MOF will be revising the wording of section 105K so that the IGA will not be described as an agreement to implement a law of the United States (since it is not for Singapore as a sovereign state to implement the laws of another state). Instead, the IGA will be described as an agreement to facilitate compliance by financial institutions in Singapore with FATCA.
Allowing IRAS to obtain bank and trust information from financial institutions without having to seek a Court Order
In the public consultation, MOF had also proposed that the Act be amended to allow the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore ("IRAS") to obtain for the purposes of EOI, information otherwise protected by secrecy requirements, without having to apply for a Court Order.
It seems there were substantial concerns on this and feedback was given to MOF, that for IRAS to directly obtain information without first applying for a Court Order might undermine the robustness of Singapore's EOI regime.
However, MOF has rejected this feedback. In its response, MOF reiterated that doing away with the Court Order process was part of the process of streamlining Singapore's EOI regime in accordance with the internationally agreed standard for EOI developed by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development ("OECD").
MOF emphasised that there would be no change to the safeguards currently imposed on EOI requests by Singapore from foreign jurisdictions. This would include ensuring that EOI requests are clear, legitimate and foreseeably relevant to the enforcement of the requesting jurisdiction's tax laws.
Given that IRAS already had substantial experience in handling EOI requests, MOF felt that IRAS is sufficiently well positioned to assess whether these requests are made in accordance with the OECD standard for EOI.
Taxpayer's right of appeal on EOI matters
MOF also received feedback that the Act should provide an express right for taxpayers to appeal against any decision by IRAS on EOI matters.
This feedback has also been rejected. In its response, MOF felt that providing for a right of appeal was unnecessary, given that, as with other tax matters, taxpayers were already able to make representations to IRAS regarding its request for information to fulfil an EOI request.
MOF also pointed out that judicial review of the decision of IRAS in relation to EOI requests would still be available.
Just as the feedback against the abolition of the Court Order procedure, and the feedback to provide for a right of appeal is not unexpected, so the decision by MOF to reject both of them should not really come as a surprise.
While one might continue to question the true motivations of the OECD in developing its new streamlined model for EOI and seeking to impose this new standard on the rest of the world, for Singapore this is now water under the bridge. Having already committed to abide by the OECD standards, if Singapore is to continue to retain credibility in international legal circles, there can be no doubt that our EOI regime must be amended to bring it fully in line with the OECD standard. Those who are concerned with the potential loss of privacy may understandably be concerned that the courts no longer have a role to independently moderate the EOI process.
However, even if Singapore had bucked the trend and retained the Court Order process, it is not entirely clear that this would really give truly meaningful assurance.
Whether or not to accede to an EOI request is ultimately an administrative decision which only IRAS can make. Just as a court in judicial review proceedings will not substitute its decision for the executive's, it is hard to imagine that a court that is called upon to endorse an IRAS decision to cooperate with its foreign tax counterparty will approach the matter differently.
At the end of the day, one may be left with no practical alternative but to trust in the good judgment and good sense, of our tax officials to distinguish between legitimate EOI requests and questionable ones.

http://careers.canning.wa.gov.au/Vacancies/
The City of Canning is a local government area in the southeastern suburbs of the Western Australian capital city of Perth, about 10 kilometres (6 mi) southeast of Perth's central business district. The City covers an area of 64.8 square kilometres (25.0 sq mi) and had a population of approximately 90,000 as at the 2016 Census. In 1871, the Canning Road District was established under the District Roads Act 1871, covering a very wide area to the southeast of Perth. On 1 July 1907, it was abolished and split into the Queen's Park Municipal District and Gosnells Road District (later to become the City of Gosnells). In 1921, Queen's Park was renamed to Canning Road District, and two years later received a large amount of land from Jandakot Road District when that entity was abolished.

These 11 Epic Mountains In Hawaii Will Drop Your Jaw
Mauka: a word in the Hawaiian language, meaning "toward the mountain," and most commonly used in giving directions. Mountains are an integral part of the Hawaiian landscape, and while there are countless mountain ranges, peaks, and valleys across the islands, some are more well-known than others. Each of these eleven summits has a topographic prominence of at least 500 meters, or 1,640 feet, and are collectively classified as the highest mountains in Hawaii.
1. Mauna Kea, Big Island
Wolfram Burner/Flickr
Standing at 13,796 feet above sea level, Mauna Kea, a dormant volcano, is the highest point in the state of Hawaii. Much of the mountain, however, is underwater, and if measured from its oceanic base, it would be 33,000 feet tall — which would be higher than Mount Everest!
2. Mauna Loa, Big Island
Joe Parks/Flickr
Mauna Loa has historically been considered the largest volcano on earth, and has been erupting for an estimated 700,000 years. The nearby city of Hilo was partially built on lava flows from the late 19th century.
3. Haleakala, Maui
Bill Devlin/Flickr
This massive shield volcano forms approximately 75 percent of the Hawaiian Island of Maui. The active volcano has erupted in the last 500 years or so, and is designated to be in a non-eruptive phase by the United States Geological Survey.
4. Hualalai, Big Island
Rosa Say/Flickr
Another volcano in Hawaii? Yep. There are five major volcanoes that form the Hawaiian Islands, and Hualalai is considered to be the third most active. It has not erupted since 1801, but it is expected to erupt within the next century.
5. Pu'u Kukui, Maui
Buck/Flickr
Considered one of the wettest spots on earth, the mountain receives an average of 385 inches of rain each year. Rainwater that is unable to drain away floats into a nearby bog, making the soil dense, deep, and acidic.
6. Kawaikini, Kauai
Brad Hagan/Flickr
The highest point on the island of Kauai is — you guessed it — another volcano! Though the summit is only 1,600 feet in elevation, it is a difficult climb due to the extensive rain in the area.
7. Kamakou, Molokai
Bogumil Kozera/Flickr
Part of the extinct East Molokai Shield Volcano, Kamakou is home to the Molokai Forest Preserve, estimated to contain more than 250 rare native Hawaiian plants.
8. Ka'ala, Oahu
Leonard S Jacobs/Flickr
Part of the Waianae Range on Oahu's west side, this eroded volcano is home to an FAA-maintained active tracking station at the summit, closed to the general public and secured by the United States Army.
9. Lanaihale, Lanai
Mayumi Pavy/Flickr
Lanaihale is the highest point on the small island of Lanai, which is only 142 square miles. The island, and is 98 percent owned by Larry Ellison, founder and chairman of Oracle.
10. Konahuanui, Oahu
Part of the Ko'olau Mountain Range in east Oahu, the 3,000-foot summit is a popular hiking destination for experienced outdoors enthusiasts. I can only hope that I will gain the strength to complete this tough hike in the next few years.
11. Haupu, Kauai
tyarab77/Flickr
Seen from the east and south side of the island is Haupu, which is apparently best experienced via an ATV tour.

What is the tallest mountain in Hawaii?
The highest point in the entire Aloha State is Mauna Kea, which measures in at 13,796 feet above sea level. When measured from its oceanic base deep in the vast Pacific, however, the mountain measures in at more than 33,000 feet tall — higher than Mount Everest! In Hawaiian mythology, the peaks of Hawaii Island are sacred, and Mauna Kea is considered to be the most sacred; an ancient law mandated that only high ranking ali'i could visit the summit. Luckily, today, anyone can — and should — visit the summit of Mauna Kea. Did you also know that Mauna Kea is one of the few places in Hawaii where it actually snows?
What is the most beautiful mountain range in Hawaii?
While the answer to this question is highly subjective, we'd have to say that our favorite mountain range is the Ko'olau Mountain Range on the island of Oahu. Designated as a National Natural Landmark in 1972, the Ko'olau Mountain Range is located on Oahu's windward coast and is what remains of the island's eastern shield volcano. The volcano became dormant approximately 1.7 million years ago, and steady erosion resulted in the mountains as we know them today — tall, majestic wonders that tower over the Hawaiian landscape.
What are the best mountain trails in Hawaii?
From the lush, green mountains of Kauai to the stark volcanic landscapes of Hawaii Island, there is little more awe-inspiring than Hawaii's mountain ranges. While you can experience these mountains from afar, there's little better than embarking on a hike in the mountains. Not all trails are created equal, and though many of Hawaii's hiking trails are reserved for those with plenty of experience, these 11 mountain hikes are ideal for beginners.

My home is surrounded by woods. We have a slight hill on the side of the house that was landscaped beautifully 16 years ago by the original owners. In the 4 years I have lived there, it has become increasingly more difficult to control Mother Nature from taking over. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
You may need to take out some of the woods. Over time trees and shrubs, as well as other plantings, can outgrow their surroundings. A landscape makeover may be necessary.

Two suspects have been arrested in a November robbery of a 7-Eleven, according to the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office.
Anthony Pedonzi (Photo: Provided photo)
At 3:30 a.m. Nov. 16, six males entered the store at 1875 Soquel Drive wearing dark clothing and covering their faces. One with a baseball bat chased the clerk to the rear of the store where the clerk hid in a storage room and called 9-11.
Video provided by the Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office of a November 2014 robbery of a 7-Eleven on Soquel Drive.
Another suspect was seen carrying a gun in his waistband. The suspects raided the beverage cooler and fled with approximately 10 cases of beer. A pastry cabinet of donuts was smashed with the baseball bat before the suspects fled on foot. They were seen loading the beer into a black SUV and a black compact car before driving away. The incident was caught on surveillance cameras.
On Dec. 4, Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Detectives identified and arrested Salinas Cristian Melgar, 19, for the robbery. Melgar was booked into the Santa Cruz County jail and his bail was set at $50,000.
On Wednesday, Jan. 21, detectives arrested Anthony Pedonzi, 19, of Scotts Valley, at his home on suspicion of the robbery and participating in a criminal street gang. Deponzi was booked into the Santa Cruz County jail and his bail was set at $100,000.
Physical evidence, including clothing worn by the suspects, as well as a baseball bat matching the baseball bat seen in the surveillance footage has been recovered. The investigation is still ongoing.
The Santa Cruz County Sheriff's Office is requesting that anyone with information regarding the robbery or the identity of the additional suspects to contact sheriff's office dispatch at 831-471-1121.

Country Music Hall of Fame member Harold Bradley died this morning at the age of 93.
He and his late brother, Owen Bradley, helped create the "Nashville Sound." As a studio rhythm guitarist, Harold played on thousands of recordings including Eddy Arnold's "Make The World Go Away," Don Gibson's "Oh Lonesome Me," Brenda Lee's "I'm Sorry" and Roger Miller's "King Of The Road." Bradley was the first president of Nashville's chapter of NARAS. In 1991 he became president of Nashville's chapter of the American Federation of Musicians, later becoming its international VP. Bradley was inducted into the CMHoF in 2006. Arrangements are pending.
RIP Harold. Thank you for all you did to make this a great genre.


HOUMA -- Police aren't sure what happened to a man who was sent to the hospital with critical head injuries after he was pulled over during a traffic stop about 10 Friday night.
But when officers stopped a red Toyota Camry for an alleged seatbelt violation on Main Street near Terrebonne High, they found him bleeding heavily from the head and his windshield broken, Terrebonne Sheriff's Maj. Malcolm Wolfe said.
The man, who is from Houma and in his 40s, remained unconscious at TGMC this afternoon with critical injuries, authorities said. They have not released his name pending notification of family members.
The man wasn't able to tell police what happened.
If you know anything about what happened, call the Terrebonne Sheriff's Office at 876-2500 or Crimestoppers at 800-743-7433.
