Life in the slow lane on N. Shore until June
By Joe Day - Special to The Garden Island | Wednesday, April 11, 2012, 11:15 p.m.
PRINCEVILLE — North Shore motorists were affected more than any others on Kaua'i by last month's deluge when it came to mudslides, flooding and highway closings.
They still are.
In March, the two-lane highway connecting the North Shore with the rest of Kaua'i was closed at times in Kilauea, at the Kalihiwai bridge and in Hanalei and points beyond.
Now the highway between Princeville and Hanalei is down to one lane as workers rebuild half of the roadway that was badly cracked, just feet from the cliff overlooking Hanalei Valley, up the hill from the Hanalei Bridge.
Work began at the site on March 6 and is expected to be finished sometime in June, according to state highway officials.
Meanwhile, thousands of cars are moving through the area, one lane at a time, directed by flaggers on either end of the work area.
State officials estimate that 10,000 cars a day use the one lane that is open — 5,000 each way. The wait usually is not more than a few minutes, but longer during the morning and evening rush hours.
So far, no complaints have been filed with the highway department, according to Dan Meisenzahl, spokesman for the Hawai'i Department of Transportation.
"I think people understand what's happening. If we wanted to make major changes in the road, there would be hell to pay. After all, this is next to one of the wettest spots in the world," he said.
A business owner in Hanalei said that a June completion date would not impact businesses as much as would one in July and August. "I think everyone's pretty accepting of the situation. They're working hard there to finish the job," said the woman, who declined to give her name.
Raymond McCormack, Kaua'i district engineer for the department, said "that side of the island is a moving target" for erosion and mudslides.
The project is expected to cost about $2 million. The state Transportation Department is applying for federal emergency funds to cover most, if not all, of that amount.
The work is being done by two private firms contracted by the state transportation department.
The workers are driving what are called soil nails deep into the ground to stabilize the area prior to actually rebuilding the pavement.

Web Shelter

**School** conjuration (creation); **Level** cleric 2, druid 2, ranger 2, sorcerer/wizard 2, summoner 2, witch 2

**Components** V, S, DF

**Casting Time** 1 minute

**Range** close (25 ft. + 5 ft./two levels)

**Effect** 5 ft.–10 ft. diameter web sphere or 5 ft.–20 ft. hemisphere

**Duration** 1 hour/level (D)

**Saving Throw** none; **Spell Resistance** no

You create a shelter of slightly sticky webbing. The shelter has a hinged door large enough to accommodate a Medium creature. The opaque walls of the shelter measure 1 inch thick and provide total cover to anyone within it.

Only Fine creatures with negligible Strength can be caught in the webbing (including swarms); all other creatures can pull themselves free without making a Strength check or taking an action. The webbing is sticky enough to hold twigs, leaves, dirt, and other light items, allowing you to conceal the shelter. The shelter is watertight and insulated when the door is closed. Its surface has a hardness of 0 and 2 hit points for every 5-foot square of web surface area. It takes normal damage from fire and burns as easily as wood. When the spell ends, the webbing decays rapidly and disappears.

Biaggi targets another Miller double
Ollie Barstow
Max Biaggi looks to repeat his Miller Motorsports Park double victory in an effort to get his 2011 title dreams back on track.
Max Biaggi heads to the fifth round of the 2011 World Superbike Championship at Miller Motorsports Park looking to repeat his double victory at the circuit last season.
The Italian took a crucial step towards the 2010 crown with victory in both races, even if the wins could be considered somewhat fortuitous following Carlos Checa's retirement from the lead on each occasion.
Keen to get his 2011 title campaign back on track after a frustrating race day last time out at Monza, Biaggi is hoping for a repeat performance in the United States this year.
"I have very good memories of the Miller track," the Aprilia Alitalia rider said. "The double win last year took us to the top of the standings and was probably the first important step toward bringing home the title. I've always enjoyed racing in the United States. There are a lot of fans and they make their welcome presence known.
"On top of that the track is very technical, with guided sections where it is very important to find the right compromise in the bike's set-up. For this reason we need to start off right away on the right foot: from the first practice session to the last race, we need to be 100 per cent focused."
Biaggi is currently third in the overall standings, 28 points off series leader Checa.

So, got to HR Five. Where's my offline High Rank Gore Magala quest?
If you go to Val Habar (Is that what it's called?), the Ace Commander should have a request for you where you'll then get the quest to fight the HR Gore Magala.
Well, he's in Dondruma right now so that's probably not gonna happen. Ah well.
Have you tried speaking to everyone? Sometimes there are perquisite quests that need to be finished first. Also, try talking to the Ace Cadet as well, as he's key to that quest's story.
I also have a question. Regarding guild quests, what happens if I level one up past my current rank? Say, I level a high rank yian garuga quest to the point where it becomes G rank - can I still go on the quest, or does it just stop levelling?
Guild Quests only have the restriction set upon it at the moment you GOT the quest. So if you got a quest with no HR restrictions, it will stay that way all the way to whatever the Guild Quest Cap is. If you got a quest while being HR1, but it is HR2, then you will never be able to join it until you get to HR2, even if you are High Ranked in solo quests.
I had a "Hunt a Basarios" quest that required me to be HR 2. I leveled it up to level 31 and it then required me to be HR 5 to post/join it.
Well that is odd... None of mine have changed HR requirements... is it possible that ONLY if it had no HR to begin with, will it not level?
Let me try to level some no HR required quests really high and see if they get an HR requirement attached.
I just got a guild quest that had no requirements starting out, to require me to be HR 4 once I got it to level 31.
EDIT - I just thought of a question.
Is it possible to get a Seasoned Weapon/Armor from mining in high rank expeditions/guild quests? I've never gotten any Seasoned Armors or weapons except in the rewards in high rank guild quests.
Seasoned weapon? The relic weapons and gear? And yes you can get those from mining and as rewards.
I think he really does mean seasoned. I guess it would depend if seasoned means High Rank, or G Ranked.
As for the Guild Quests. I bow out, and apologize for putting what I read and assumed as fact. I will make sure to fully test whatever responses I put down for accuracy, and not just take what others have said as fact.
Yeah, I was talking about actual Seasoned Armor/Weapons, Not Battered.
I'm currently only high rank, so I'm not sure what G rank, Super G rank, and Ultra G rank have.
I've gotten Battered Weapons/Armors from mining, but I've never gotten Seasoned ones.
EDIT - Does anyone know how to get that ??? sword that's at Sasnug Island?
Not sure if it was the seasend ones (not playing the english version) but i mined other than battered weapons/armor in expeditions. only know from G-Rank expeditions, never really did any High Rank expeditions.
The way that Guild Quests work is that every time that you beat them, they level up.
Also, according to the Internet, you need to beat the Cowardly Felyne quest chain to pull the sword out.
I would also like to point out that I got a Great Sword from a high rank Guild quest that, when upgraded using Heavy Armor Spheres, had over 1000 raw damage. Plus it had a good amount of blue sharpness, and it had a ton of blue sharpness with Sharpness +1.
So for those of you who use GS, you know that that's a pretty good GS for high rank.
So you can get pretty nice weapons from guild quests, in case you didn't already know. That GS I got also glows neon green. So that's cool.
Anyone know the requirements for the Funky Felyne quests?
I meet the funky feline for the first time last night, he just talked about wanting new do's then walked out. Good laugh.
Figured it out. He gave me a quest after I beat the offline Molten Tigrex.
Ok so in the past Capture was preferable to kill for rare parts.
Looking at wiki/kiranico, and experience so far, it does not seem to give any better chances. In some cases it looks like wors chances with a cap.
Am I wrong in thinking they have switched up the dynamics so it is not ALWAYS better to capture?
Even in MH3U, capturing wasn't always preferred over killing. So no, you're not wrong in thinking they changed the dynamics so you don't always want to capture.
They made capturing better for if you're trying to get monster parts like medulla's and stuff like that though for the most part.
Also, is the Loc Lac+ Armor set in the game, and if so, what unlocks it?
Zenith Wyvern Gems. Can I get those from any Apex high rank monsters aside from the one time you get to fight the Apex Seregios? Or do I have to get to G3?
There are a few Apex monsters in G-Rank. The one I can recall off the bat is Apex Rajang on G1's Desert Seltas - and it spawns about 5 minutes in, in area 5.
I still haven't encountered any other Apex monsters. Hopefully my Aged Text* will reveal one once deciphered.
*Aged Texts are unlocked at G-Special.
What do I have to do to upgrade my G-Special crown?
I am doing the 5 start caravan quests currently. I am almost finished with an armor set with sharpness 1 and I plan on using the Gore GS with it. It goes from green to white and has some affinity. The damage should be about the same as my Tetsucabra GS right now but I am looking for a change.
Are there any other low rank great swords that would benefit from sharpness +1? More so than the Gore GS? I can't seem to find any so far.

The practice of refurbishing used steel pipe is a type of recycling that most people don't think about. There are thousands of miles of underground pipe in place all across the U.S. A big part of Alpha Pipe's business is partnering with pipeline contractors to take up pipelines which are not being used. When the pipe is dug up out of the ground, Alpha Pipe is on site to cut, clean and sort the pipe. This pipe is then resold for various uses: pipe piling, casing pipe, trestle, falsework, drainage, culvert pipe, irrigation - just to name a few.
This pipe has usually been in service for a number of years and needs to be replaced for various reasons. The fact that it might not be a good fit for it's original intention doesn't mean that the pipe cannot be used for many different applications. The pipe is still strong and Alpha Pipe sorts their used pipe to make sure that any pipe that is damaged or aged beyond use is scrapped.
Does this make Alpha Pipe Co a "green" company - YES we think it does. Alpha Pipe is here to help you understand how to consider used steel pipe as an alternate for all of your steel pipe needs.
What do you think of using used steel pipe as an alternate to new pipe in order to not only be "Green" but save money?

Q: Populate table in java using spring mvc I have three entities: Account, Partner, and Referral.
The Partner table is already full and has a link to the Account table.
When registering a user, the Account table is filled out.
Then I need to fill out the Referral table in which there are links to the Account and the Partner.
In this case, I need to check if there is a Referral link in the request, I need to check that it is in the Partner table and write to the ID Referral table of the Partner. And also take the ID from the table Account and also write it to the Referral table.
I have entity and controller
@Entity
@Table(name = "partner")
public class Partner implements Serializable {

@Id
@Column(name = "id", unique = true, nullable = false)
private Long id;

@OneToOne
@JoinColumn(name = "account_id")
private Account account;

@Column(name = "referral_link", nullable = false, unique = true)
@NotEmpty
private String referralLink;

Getter, Setter, and Constructor

@Entity
@Table(name = "referral")
public class Referral implements Serializable {

@Id
@Column(name = "id", unique = true, nullable = false)
private Long id;

@OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.LAZY, mappedBy = "partner", cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
@JoinColumn(name = "partner_id")
private Set<Partner> partnerId = new HashSet<>();

@OneToOne
@JoinColumn(name = "account_id", nullable = false, unique = true)
private Account accountId;

@Column(name = "device_id")
private String deviceId;

@Column(name = "setup_date", nullable = false)
private Date setupDate;

Getter, Setter, and Constructor

In the Controller, I wrote this code:
    Long defaultId = 6L;
    if (referralLink == null) {
        referral = new Referral(defaultId, account.getId();
        referralService.create(referral);
    } else {
        List<Partner> partnerList = partnerService.getAll();
        if (partnerList.contains(referralLink)) {
            // How to get partnerId?
            referral = new Referral(partnerId, account.getId();
        } else {
            referral = new Referral(defaultId, account.getId();
            referralService.create(referral);
        }
        referralService.create(referral);
    }

Many questions turned out:

*

*How to get the element's id on the sheet that the referralLink belongs to?

*How to add a default ID if the referralLink is empty?

*When creating a Referral, he asks me for an entity Account instead of my Long and Set partners, what am I doing wrong?

A: You have many problems,
First in your Refferal class
@OneToMany(fetch = FetchType.LAZY, mappedBy = "partner", cascade = CascadeType.ALL)
@JoinColumn(name = "partner_id")
private Set<Partner> partnerId = new HashSet<>();

you cannot have JoinColumn at the two sides of the relationship, since this is a bidirectional relation you should have joincolumn in one side and mappedBy in the other side.
In your persistence logic you should have a reference of each side of the relation in the other side since the relation is bidirectional, I am talking about the Refferal and Partner.

How to get the element's id on the sheet that the referralLink belongs
  to?

I am not sure what you mean by element's id but I suppose It is entity which has association with Partner, in this case you only need to find the Partner for a specific referralLink and use normal simple getters

How to add a default ID if the referralLink is empty?

simply check if the referralLink is empty and add an id, if you are talking about the autogeneratedId then why would u need to add such thing and even if you do it will be just ignored, if you are talking about id of another entity (foreign key) set the entity you need if the referralLink.

When creating a Referral, he asks me for an entity Account instead of
  my Long and Set partners, what am I doing wrong?

In your referral entity you are specifying not null constraint on the account
 @OneToOne
 @JoinColumn(name = "account_id", nullable = false, unique = true)
 private Account accountId;

so just remove "nullable = false"

The enjoyable task that's good for your health and self-esteem
By: Andrea Karr
Regardless of your age or gender, putting life experiences into words can have a multitude of social, mental and emotional benefits.
Like many women with sick or aging parents, Debby Bitticks found herself in the position of caregiver—first, when her mother developed breast cancer in her 50s, and later when her father and father-in-law moved into her house in their twilight years. Her father had started to experience the first side effects of Alzheimer's disease, and as Debby saw his memory fade, she realized that she didn't truly feel like she understood her dad despite knowing him for her entire life. With the help of her social worker daughter, Lynn, she crafted a binder filled with interview questions divided into subsections (My Teen Years, Values and Philosophies and Family Tree, for example) to use as a jumping off point to capture her father's life story. It later became the Cherished Memories: The Story of My Life binder, which sold out on QVC—the American version of The Shopping Channel. More than the success of the book, Debby was astounded by the benefits her dad saw with recording his memories.
Here's why it's worth helping an aging parent record his/her life story:
1. The parent will show feelings of appreciation.
Elderly family members may think that their life stories don't have value, or that younger generations have no interest in learning about their parents and grandparents. But when Debby asked her father if she could record his memories, he lit up. "He couldn't believe that people cared enough or wanted to know," she says. The same scenario occurred when she asked to interview her father-in-law, who was a quiet, reserved man. By the first page of questions, he'd already started sharing stories that even his son (Debby's husband) didn't know.
2. It'll allow for greater understanding and forgiveness.
"Though I love my dad, I never could quite understand certain things," she says. "When I was 16 years old, I signed a record contract. The record was a hit. But my father made me give up singing and I couldn't understand why. He broke my heart. During the interview, I told him how I felt and he said, 'Debby, let me tell you what I felt.' He came from Germany during the Holocaust and he was very afraid to let me go out into the world of Hollywood. In his mind, he was loving me and protecting me. He had no concept of what he took." By working through her father's thought process, Debby was able to better understand and forgive him. She wishes she had talked to him about these events sooner because she carried pointless anger for many years.
3. It can help prevent diseases.
Debby recorded her father's health history and also took him for genetic testing, leading to the discovery that her family carries a BRCA1 mutation (which greatly increases breast cancer risk). She believes that the information she gathered—and later shared with her extended family around the world—will save countless lives. In fact, recording your family history is one of the simplest and most affordable genomic tools for disease prevention because it helps your doctor pinpoint the screening tests that you require.
Since interviewing her dad in the final years of his life, Debby's written and shared her own life story and her daughters and their children have started to do the same. Whether you're 25 or 80, documenting your life can have several benefits—even if no one ever reads your writing.
But, you can benefit from writing down your own memories, too:
1. It can help you heal from a traumatic experience.
A study published in March 2018 JAMA Psychiatry revealed writing about a traumatic memory can be just as effective at treating posttraumatic stress disorder as a longer course of the standard cognitive processing therapy.
2. It's a form of cognitive fitness—your body isn't the only thing that can benefit from exercise.
If you choose to record your memories in cursive, you'll actually improve your capacity for thinking, language and memory because the process stimulates brain synapses and synchronicity between the right and left sides of the brain.
Don't worry about recording everything at once. Simply get started—on a specific chapter of your life (childhood, teen years, university, starting a family) or important moment. All you need is paper and a pen, so there's no excuse not to give it a whirl.

Title: Genomics, transcriptomics, and beyond: the fifteen years of cacao's witches' broom disease genome project
Author: Mondego, J.M.C.
De Toledo Thomazella, D.P.
Teixeira, P.J.P.L.
Pereira, G.A.G.
Abstract: Cacao production in Brazil was severely affected by the outbreak of witches' broom disease (WBD) in the late 1980s. WBD is caused by the basidiomycete fungus Moniliophthora perniciosa, a hemibiotrophic pathogen that displays an uncommonly long-lasting biotrophic stage during which the host cacao suffers intense morphologic alterations in the infected shoots, giving rise to "green brooms." Two months after infection, the fungus becomes necrotrophic resulting in the necrosis and destruction of the infected tissues that turn into a "dry broom." During the last 15 years, the knowledge of this devastating and intriguing disease has been growing due to initiatives such as the WBD genome project. By using genomics and transcriptomics as tools to obtain insights about this disease, the WBD project has been elucidating the biochemistry and physiology of both plant host and pathogen, paving the way for practical applications to combat the fungus. In this chapter we present an overview of progress in the understanding of M. perniciosa genetics and the molecular mechanisms governing WBD, provide a model for the M. perniciosa–cacao interaction, and point to new directions to fight this disease.

There are several observations that can be made from the various threads followed in this investigation. Within the content of the films, we see that while much of Western scientific thinking is dismissive of dreams, there is clearly a huge element in Western society that feels the need to make meaning out of the cryptic imagery of dreams. Ultimately chances are, if dreams are included as part of a film, they are there to suggest meaning. How that meaning works – whether it speaks to the past, the present or to sci-fi woven illusions, depends largely on genre, and on the underlying philosophy of the piece. Although there is a strong tendency within modern mainstream culture to see dreams as essentially commenting on the individual's past, the dreams in these films are often dreams of anxiety, dreams expressing concern about possible futures, possible interpretations of the present, possible windows into a concurrent reality. These kinds of dreams allow for a role of increasing the tension of the central conflict, building towards a crisis, rather than being static expository elements. Many are versions of Jungian ideas, assisting in character growth and development.
While the first laying out of ideas in this paper may have appeared to lead towards a simple correlation between cultures with regressive dream theories having film narratives in which dreams serve simply as exposition or back story, and where cultures with progressive dream theories are making films where dreams further the narrative, ultimately the examples lead us to somewhat more complex conclusions. We have seen a wide range of variations on the way the dream or vision functions within the story and ultimately, a rich range of cultural ideas about dreams.
Although Western psychological theory focuses on dreams as addressing the past, the influence of teams of story editors, producers and screenwriting gurus, are also significant determining factors in the North American, classical Hollywood context, in ensuring the dream in film stays away from the realm of too much back story. Further off the Hollywood grid, European cinema has always allowed for more exploration within subjective and experimental types of narrative, both Buñuel and Ruiz being examples of this freedom from narrative imperatives. In art cinema, narratives can be looser, and paratactic clauses are allowed for; and not all elements of the story need to be firmly attached to the central conflict and feed the building tension around it. But the observations and concerns of the technicians of drama have no doubt been a strong influence required dreams to be a source of action and intrigue one way or another, across all cultural tendencies within North American. Whether dreams are in some way an incentive to action, or a mystery to be investigated, the examples we have seen are all in some way beyond a tedious function of character exposition. Within the range of cultural and genre variations we have observed, they all work in a way that is ultimately dramatic, that in one way or another can be seen to be furthering the action.
Within the aboriginal productions, we see some stories, such as Dreamkeeper's Eagle Boy and Quillwork Girl, and Shelley Niro's Mars Thunderchild, clearly having a completely different kind of dream experience – one that shapes the future. On the other hand, in both Journals of Knud Rasmussen and Kissed by Lightning, while the dreams are a kind of exposition of lost loves, giving some back story to the character's current dilemma, these dreams also have a kind of presence in the present. The dreams, or what takes place in the dreams, also serve as mini-narratives, creating their own obstacles for characters to overcome – the dead in the dreams create conflicts with the living. The dreams in Journals exist in a way that is public, frankly embarrassing and disappointing for the community. The dreams in Kissed by Lightning, while showing the ongoing grief of the main character, and essentially asking the question of how she will heal, then go on to also remember or re-teach the condolence ceremony given to the Iroquois by the Peacemaker, effectively offering her an active way out of her grief. In this way, the dreams remain somehow active and alive in the present, as though they are also an alternate space where things go on that speak to the character in their journey. This is quite different than From Hell, in which the dreams reveal not an alternate reality, but are simply a portal into concurrent events, or sometimes a picture of the future – but this is not an alternate space with a heightened reality; it is simply a window. In Wild Strawberries, Professor Borg's dreams suggest an anxiety and a crisis – they do not offer direction or solutions, nor are they community events. Similarly, Nate's dream about Life and Death in Six Feet Under reveals his own anxiety, his own questions, and his own psyche's search for answers on how to live from within the known elements of his father and a few words from the Bhagavita. In a production such as Thunderheart, we see perhaps the most tightly interwoven influences of a classical whodunit film structure meshed with a strong visionary culture, where dreams or visions work as both exposition and as goal establishment. Although it is Plains culture being portrayed in Thunderheart and in the main story of Dreamkeeper, suggesting a narrative style that might be looser, nonetheless, these films have a tight structuring around cause and effect. Thunderheart is powerfully driven by the detective genre, the need to find the bad guy and right the wrong. This is very different from productions such as Kissed by Lightning and Journals of Knud Rasmussen, which are much more meandering stories not shaped by uni-focal narrative drives – they are films in which not all elements of the story have strong causal links to the essential narrative arc. While these films were made within the North American context, as Canadian and as primarily First Nations productions, they are much further off the Hollywood grid, and while both are purposeful journeys with significant character transformation, they have been able to maintain a highly unique narrative space for dream sequences. This range of examples hints at some the degree to which culture may in fact have quite a complex influence on narrative structure.

While design work is every bit as much a part of our business as shooting, I admit to treating it unfairly when it comes to blog spots. No more: with a new blog, I am turning over a new leaf (ha, HA… that was an inside joke for you album makers out there). I'm going to begin photographing books as they come in so you can better understand how a two dimensional design becomes a three dimensional object.
So let's start with a tale of two recent coffee table books. Coffee table books are our least traditional album option and certainly our least pretentious one as well, they just seem to say, "I don't belong on a shelf, how 'bout a coffee table instead? I promise I can handle all the handling". They can indeed handle the love so we hope you will leave them out to be enjoyed worry-free. Printed with archival glossy pages, luscious color and contemporary designs, they deserve to be picked up again and again.

Q: Moving Vehicle Path Distance Calculation Using Android Device and LocationManager Any good and gives accurate traveled distance example are welcomed. I tried by calculating the Latitude and Longitude. Storing previous and current points data and get the distance and adding for every 5 seconds when vehicle speed != 0 I checked with many rounds of moving vehicle, Every time I am getting different KMs distance. Not accurate. Any accuracy solution for moving vehicle path distance calculation.
private double journeyPathDistance(double currentLat, double currentLng) {
    if (isFirstTime && vehicleSpeedValue != 0) {
        Location loc1 = new Location("");
        loc1.setLatitude(currentLat);
        loc1.setLongitude(currentLng);
        Location loc2 = new Location("");
        loc2.setLatitude(currentLat);
        loc2.setLongitude(currentLng);
        isFirstTime = false;
        prevLat = currentLat;
        prevLng = currentLng;
        distanceKms = loc1.distanceTo(loc2) / 1000;
    } else {
        if (vehicleSpeedValue != 0) {

A: You're going to have to add a lot of intelligence on top of that to get anything near accurate.  Lets assume you're using GPS (if you're using network you're in huge trouble just from that).  GPS on a phone is really only accurate to within 10 meters or so.  So every data point you may be off by 10 meters.  Add up a lot of 10 meter inaccuracies, and you're adding in a lot of extra distance.  And you'll also get the occasional point that's just way off.  There is no way to make that algorithm work by just adding all the deltas.
What you need to do is filter it.  Ignore short distance changes, only add long ones where you have multiple confirmed readings (to ensure a random wrong location doesn't throw off your readings).  The idea that immediately comes to mind is trying to detect turns by finding long lasting changes in heading, and figuring out where each straightaway begins and ends to find its length.
Of course the most accurate way to know that is just to read the odometer.  But I presume you have a reason not to do things the easy way.

A: The question is not clear.  However, if you're looking for the formula to calculate distance that can be found here: Calculate distance between Latitude/Longitude points.  It includes Javascript code fragments that you can easily convert to Java.


Stewart Associates Shrewsbury Accountants - Comprehensive Accountancy and Auditing Services and Business Advice - Chartered Accountants and Registered Auditors.
A number of years ago an employed salesman asked us to complete his tax return and expenses claim. Of course we duly obliged and obtained income tax repayments.
After two years our client had a business idea and asked us to prepare cash flow projections and budgets and to provide advice on the most appropriate method of trading.
When the business started we initially undertook the book-keeping, payroll and VAT returns until the business could afford an in-house book-keeper.
We continued to be actively involved in the preparation of management accounts.
The business expanded and incorporated and we prepared the statutory accounts and audit.
As several divisions evolved, we provided advice on the group structure.
The business suffered a downturn and we were engaged to prepare a business viability report.
The business then grew healthily and received a multi million pound offer it could not refuse. We advised on the Business Valuation and Capital Gains Tax implications and the residency status of the vendor.
Subsequently our role once again was to attend to the tax compliance affairs of the vendor until he recommenced in business and so the circle starts again.
Our philosophy is to undertake whatever work the client does not wish, or is unable, to undertake themselves which at different times of the business life cycle will vary.

Campaigners slam aviation emissions trading
Protestors interrupted a summit on aviation emissions trading to protest that the scheme will allow the aviation industry to continue emitting carbon while claiming they are being green.

Members of campaign group London Rising Tide made an impromptu speech to delegates at Emissions Trading Aviation 2007 at Selfridges Hotel, in London, on Wednesday, to highlight their fears that emissions trading will not have a significant impact on curbing aviation emissions.
The conference had been organised to help the carbon trading and aviation industries to understand more about plans to include aviation in the European Union's Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) from 2011.
However, London Rising Tide argued that airport expansion needed to be stopped and the number of flights needed to be reduced to significantly cut aviation's impact on climate change.
A London Rising Tide spokesman – who did not want to be identified – told Edie: "The EU Emissions Trading Scheme and any carbon trading scheme is just something to enable business as usual to continue and that is not good enough.
"We are certainly not going to get out of the mess we are in if business continues as usual."
The conference followed a vote in the European Parliament earlier this month which saw MEPs overwhelmingly back the Commission's plan to include the aviation sector in the ETS.
However, MEPs have introduced significant changes to the draft law, including capping ETS allowances for carbon emissions at 90% of average levels during 2004-06, instead of the proposed 100%.
Speakers at the conference had urged the aviation and tourism sectors to get on board as soon as possible, help to develop the scheme and ensure they were preparing for the impact to their businesses when it is introduced from 2011.
Niels Ladefoged, policy officer for the Clean Air and Transport Unit in the European Commission's Environment Directorate, said: "I would strongly recommend you to work with us to get these guidelines right."

How much more slicing and dicing can hotels do with fees and surcharges? Actually, they can and will find more, according to Bjorn Hanson, Ph.D., clinical professor at the NYU School of Professional Studies Jonathan M. Tisch Center for Hospitality and Tourism, who recently released his annual report on the U.S. lodging industry's fees and surcharges.
U.S. hotels brought in $2.45 billion in fees and surcharges in 2015, and Hanson projects that will rise to $2.55 billion in 2016. However, the percentage increase will be the lowest since 2009 (when U.S. hotels were in the throes of the Great Recession). That is partly due to a notable change in how hotels charge for high-speed Internet access, he noted. Still, these fees and surcharges remain "highly profitable," at 80 to 90 percent of amounts collected.
The list of standard fees and surcharges has indeed continued to grow — from resort or amenity fees to early departure fees, reservation cancellation, Internet fees, telephone call surcharges, business center fees, room service delivery surcharges, mini-bar restocking fees, charges for in-room safes, baggage holding fees, and charges for unattended parking. Meeting groups are seeing increased charges for bartenders and other staff, special charges for set-up and breakdown of meeting rooms, and administrative fees for master folio billing. Newer fees and surcharges showing up include a "guarantee" of a specific room type or a room on a high floor and early check-in.
Sellers still in charge. If a turning of the sustained seller's market of the past six years is imminent, it's not enough to make an appreciable dent in negotiations between meeting planners and venues. Occupancy last year was at its highest since 1984, Hanson cited. And while occupancy might finish 2016 slightly lower, that "balance of power" will remain with hotels. Meeting planners "will not have the negotiating strength for concessions and other accommodations," he said.
A few months ago, STR and Tourism Economics projected flat occupancy — no growth — in 2017 for the U.S. hotel industry, just a small uptick in demand (+1.9%), and average daily rate (ADR) growth of +3.8% that is considerably more modest than previous years. Its newest outlook (released Sept. 7) further lowered next year's forecast for occupancy (-0.3%), demand (+1.6%) and ADR (+3.1%). Meanwhile, CBRE Hotels' Americas Research is tracking slowing revenue growth and significantly rising expenses for hotels. And PwC US is forecasting slower demand growth as supply increases, declining occupancy levels that are still near peak levels, and a slower pace to average daily rate increases.

Bob Pepper (October 23, 1938—January 16, 2019) was an American illustrator whose work included record and paperback covers, greeting cards, magazine illustrations and game artwork, between the 1960s and 1980s.

Life and work

Pepper was born in 1938 in Los Angeles to Peggy and Rueben Pepper. He attended the Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California, studying illustration and advertising. It was here he met his future wife, Brenda Soderquist. The couple moved to New York in the early 1960s, where Pepper established himself as a commercial artist.

From the mid-sixties to the early seventies Pepper created sleeve art for fifty-odd RCA and Elektra Records releases, including the latter's Nonesuch and Checkmate labels. Perhaps his most enduring work is the cover of Love's 1967 Forever Changes album (though this was altered by the designer, Bill Harvey, who added the foremost face's smile).

Pepper also produced paperback cover artwork, including for the Ballantine Adult Fantasy series (his covers including A Voyage to Arcturus by David Lindsay, and books by Lord Dunsany, James Branch Cabell, Joy Chant, Evangeline Walton and Mervyn Peake's Gormenghast trilogy), and a series of Philip K. Dick covers for DAW Books in the 1980s.

In 1981, he created the artwork for the Milton Bradley card game Dragonmaster, and their electronic board game, Dark Tower.

Style

Pepper's cited influences include Renaissance art, Art Nouveau, Art Deco, and psychedelic art, as well as the work of specific illustrators such as James Hill (for his Pocket Books covers) and Roger Dean (for his Yes album covers).

When working, he would normally produce artwork at twice the intended reproduction size, using gouache and dyes on charcoal paper, sometimes drawing on acetate.

Religion: A Crash Course
Become An Instant Expert
Author: Adam Ford
Publisher: Ivy Press
Series: Crash Course
Religions flourish everywhere around the planet, shaping people's lives, providing meaning and spiritual guidance in a perplexing world, giving comfort in times of distress. Divided into 52 sections and grouped into four chapters Religion: A Crash Course takes a geographical approach. It covers the ancient religions that emanate from the Indian subcontinent, such as Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism through to the Abrahamic faiths of the Jews, Christians, and Muslims of Arabia and Europe. The third section looks at the way Indian religions found their way to China and Japan, mingling Taoism, Confucianism, and Shinto. Finally, the less well-documented tribal religions of Africa, Australasia, and the Americas are explored as well as recent phenomena in the New World: the Mormons, Rastafarians, and Pentecostalists.
Adam Ford is an ordained Anglican priest, now retired. He has an MA in Indian religions and regularly lectures on Buddhism and Hinduism. He is the author of The Art of Mindful Walking (2011), Seeking Silence in a Noisy World (2011), Mindfulness & the Art of Urban Living (2013), and Galileo & The Art of Ageing Mindfully (2015).
