Colegio de la muerte, El (1975)
...aka: School of Death
Pedro Luis Ramírez
Spanish production, set in turn-of-the-century 1899 London, is fairly well-made, but too tame, slow-going and bland to hold much interest. At the Saint Elizabeth Refuge, a home for orphaned teenage girls, the young ladies are being whipped into shape by ruthless directress Miss Wilkins (Norma Kastel) and her yardstick/lash-wielding assistant Miss Colton, who want to prepare the girls for employ as loyal servants to wealthy local families. School president Mr. Granfield (Tito García) demands "silence, discipline and obedience," but they're been having trouble with a few of their more independent-minded students - Leonor Johnson (Sandra Mozarowsky) and her best friend Sylvia Smith (Victoria Vera). For talking back, Leonor gets lashed and has to spend some alone time in a sound-proof room, while Sylvia is shipped off to a home to begin work as a maid. Her first night there, Sylvia is accosted in her bedroom by a mysterious, facially-disfigured doctor, who promptly takes her downstairs, ties her to a table and jabs a scalpel into her temple. Local Dr. Edward Brown (dull Dean Selmier), who also does routine examinations at the Saint Elizabeth's, chalks the death up to heart paralysis during a brief and not-too-thorough autopsy and Sylvia is quickly buried.
Later, Leonor spots a still-living but seemingly entraced Sylvia being shipped off somewhere in a carriage. When she lets the authorities - led by Inspector Michael Coleman (Ángel Menéndez) - know, they exhume the coffin and find a very dead Sylvia still inside. So what's going on? Well, it has something to do with using brain surgery to lobotomize schoolgirls into a cataleptic states and then selling them off as high-priced hookers! Other than the evil doctor and his accomplice Miss Chambers (Elisenda Ribas), Miss Wilkins and an unseen master criminal named Bob Wilcox are all involved in the scheme. Other characters thrown into the mix include George Allen (Carlos Mendy), a reporter, Lord Ferguson ("Chris Huertas"/Cris Huerta), a wealthy, rotund "client" who ends up getting stabbed to death and Inspector Collins (Estanis González), Coleman's assistant. Not everyone is who they claim to be.
Despite the lurid premise, the film itself is very tame. There's very little blood and no nudity. I'd almost refer to it as being old-fashioned. There's some visual style present. Outdoor scenes, whether taking place in the day or night, are all shot through with large amounts of fog. The night scenes are also colorfully lit and the cinematography in general is very good. Most of the performances are decent enough, and the dubbing isn't too bad either. Unfortunately, after a good opening 20 minutes or so, the rest of the film drags and it doesn't really pick up again until the last 10 minutes or so. It's then the film offers a few twists; one of which totally caught me off guard, so I'll give it props for at least offering one surprise. Also interesting is the mad doctor character, whose face apparently was disfigured in a fire. His name? Dr. Krueger!
Sadly, pretty leading lady Mozarowsky (who also appeared in DEVIL'S POSSESSED, NIGHT OF THE SEAGULLS and a few other Euro-horrors) committed suicide two years after this was made. She was only 18 years old. The cast also includes Ana Farra (from LEGEND OF BLOOD CASTLE, THE WITCHES MOUNTAIN and others). The original American VHS release came in 1984 through All-American/Mogul Video. Sinister Cinema also offers a decent print on either VHS or DVD-R. As far as run-times go, the version I saw certainly seems complete and runs 90 minutes, though I've seen this listed elsewhere as running 110 minutes.

Fright Show (1985)
...aka: Cinemagic
Jeffrey Baker
Frank Kerr
Jonathan Mostow
Damon Santostefano
In an attempt to cash in on the 80s/90s video boom era, several genre magazines branched out to give us horror releases on their very own video labels. Of course, there's Fangoria Films, who'd produce three rather unsuccessful original films themselves in the early 90s, starting with the vampire movie CHILDREN OF THE NIGHT (1991), before deciding they'd be better off just releasing other people's movies. Before them, the sci-fi rag Starlog tried their hand with this release and the documentary FANGORIA'S WEEKEND OF HORRORS (1986). Judging by the fact those were their only two releases, I'd say their video distribution division didn't fair too well. FRIGHT SHOW (aka CINEMAGIC) is comprised of four independent short subjects; three of which were done by people who surprisingly went on to have pretty successful careers. The combined run time of the four shorts falls well short of an hour, so unfortunately Starlog decided to pad this tape out with worthless "comic" linking segments directed by Damon Santostefano and hosted by a pair of unfunny dimwits, played by Chris Phillips and stand-up comdian Eddie Brill, who basically sit around making lame jokes, making shadow puppets on the walls and eating stale popcorn. Santostefano would go on to work for Fangoria himself, making two SCREAM GREAT documentaries and one of their ill-fated original productions (1992's SEVERED TIES), before switching to more wholesome stuff like the TV series The Adventures of Pete & Peter, and such teen-oriented drivel as BRING IT ON AGAIN (2004) and ANOTHER CINDERELLA STORY (2008).
The first story "Dr. Dobermind," is about a young girl who meets deranged, gap-toothed taxidermist Dr. Dobermind while on a school tour of a natural history museum. She's then haunted by visions of Dobermind, who squashes her ice cream cone at Häagen-Dazs and materializes in ghoulish ways in her home later that night. Directed by Jonathan Mostow, who'd go on to make the very good thriller BREAKDOWN (1997), U-571 (2000) and the upcoming Bruce Willis film DUPLICATES (2009). The cinematographer was Peter Rader, who'd go on to direct GRANDMA'S HOUSE (1989) and the 1995 made-for-TV remake of RETURN TO WITCH MOUNTAIN. Next up is Jeffrey Baker's "Illegal Alien," which is easily the best segment. It's a surprisingly successful parody of ALIEN, which squeezes in a high number of amusing and knowing gags in a short time before ending rather abruptly. The third tale is "Night Fright," a kind-of-cute short about a horror movie loving little kid who discovers there's a literal monster in his closet. Directed by Frank Kerr, who has made several low-budget films over the years, included the recent horror effort JACK IN THE BOX (2008). Finally, the comic "Thing In the Basement" involves a bald-domed alien with laser beam eyes that crash landing near the home of three poker-playing yahoos. The make-up is by John Carl Buechler, who also appears in this segment.
Overall, there ain't much to really get excited about here. Four homemade shorts; one of which is pretty good and the other three just so-so; with awful linking segments you'll probably just want to fast-forward through.

Phantom from 10,000 Leagues, The (1955)
Dan Milner
Lots of monster movies understandably used their creature sfx as "money shots" for later in the film. They'll get either a "Hey, that's kinda cool..." or a "I waited around just to see that?!" type of response, but at least the anticipation of seeing what the monster actually looks like builds up some intrigue over the course of the film and helps viewers make it through the obligatory talky passages, which are usually centered around scientific discussions that are - more often than not - basically just jibbberish. Here, the filmmakers make the major mistake of unleashing their awkward-looking man-in-a-suit papier-mâché sea menace in the opening scene as it kills a fisherman after tipping over his rowboat. And after you see it doing its thing at such an early stage in the film, and see what a silly-looking beast it is, you might not even bother sitting through the rest of the film. And I can't say I'd blame anyone for wanting to bail out early. Or never taking the plunge at all. This one's pretty dull overall. It's woodenly-acted, slow-moving and nothing surprising or interesting ever happens. It's also a little longer than usual for a 50s B sci-fi/horror flick, clocking in at around 80 minutes.
Dead bodies charred with radiation burns are being found lying around the beach at Baker's Cove, California. Our government sends out two operatives; oceanographer Dr. Ted Stevens (Kent Taylor) and federal agent William S. Grant (Rodney Bell) to investigate. Meanwhile, Prof. King (Michael Whalen), who teaches at "The Pacific College of Oceanography," has discovered a giant, glowing uranium deposit/rock underwater and decides to see what kind of effect it may have on ocean life, which results in... Well, we already know since we saw "it" in the opening sequence. Cathy Downs co-stars as the professor's daughter Lois, who's basically around to show some 50s-style skin in a bathing suit and silhouette shower scene, plus take part in a dull, cliche romance with Ted. Other characters include George Thomas (Phillip Pine), the professor's murderous and treasonous assistant, who's in cohorts with a sexy blonde foreign spy named Wanda (Helene Stanton), and Ethel Hall (Vivi Janiss), the professor's secretary, who ends up getting shot in the back with a spear gun for being too nosy.
The fact the monster is usually spotted clear as day from various rowboats and is always seen bobbing around in shallow water near the shore (the same location of the atomic rock), the title makes absolutely no sense. Apparently 1 league is equal to 3 miles, which would imply that the creature comes from 30,000 miles (!) under the surface! Maybe they should have called it The Phantom from 100 Inches instead. The title actually was most likely an attempt to cash in on Disney's bit hit 20,000 LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA, released the previous year.
The Russian-born director (who is best known as an editor) also made FROM HELL IT CAME (1957). Screenwriter Lou Rusoff would go on to write films for Roger Corman, including DAY THE WORLD ENDED (1955) and IT CONQUERED THE WORLD (1956), and composer Ronald Stein would also go on to work for Corman. It was "presented by" Samuel Z. Arkoff and James H. Nicholson.

Dead Ringer (1963)
...aka: Dead Image
...aka: Who Is Buried in My Grave?
Paul Henreid
In my estimation, this isn't really a horror film (it's more of a suspenseful drama), but since it's a title included in several of my horror reference books, I'm including it here. It's also often listed as an entry in that subgenre of terror films spurned by the success of WHAT EVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE? (1962); which cast "over the hill" or "washed up" former female film stars in lead roles as killers of varying degrees of psychosis. I've seen this cycle of films referred to under many titles, including "Gothic moderne," "Hag Horror" or "Grand-Dame Guignol." Whatever the name, the common link are the female leads, each of whom enjoyed a career revival of sorts through these films. The subgenre as a whole is an extremely enjoyable one primarily because of these veteran actresses, who brought a stamp of professionalism, class and often overwrought, but always sincere, campy humor to some otherwise seedy films, as well as those intangibles that only come from experience. In DEAD RINGER, we get a double dose of Bette Davis, playing identical twin sisters... neither of whom is really all that right in the head.
Edith (Davis) was in love with a successful and very wealthy businessman, who ended up leaving her after succumbing to the charms of her identical twin sister Margaret (Davis again), who he'd apparently knocked up after an affair and thus felt obligated to marry. That was eighteen years earlier, but Edith has never forgiven her sister for it. In fact, she hasn't even seen or spoken to her since the incident. The man both women fought over has recently died of a heart attack and the sisters are reunited at the funeral. Margaret invites Edith back to her sprawling mansion home, bad memories come to the surface and Edith leaves enraged. After finding out through Margaret's chauffeur Henry (Cyril Delevanti) that her sister really never was pregnant and then learning she's about to lose her nightclub to a debt, Edith decides to get revenge. She lures Margaret to her home, shoots her in the head and then tries to take on her sister's appearance and demeanor and swap places with her. Margaret is now Edith - who'd just committed suicide, while Edith gets to walk in Margaret's shoes and live a lavish and worry-free lifestyle with plenty of money at her disposal. At first, things seem to be working without a hitch, but one man in each ladies life - Edith's dedicated detective boyfriend Jim Hobbson (Karl Malden) and Margaret's sleazy, materialistic playboy lover Tony Collins (Peter Lawford) - threaten to uncover what's really going on.
Based on the story "Dead Pigeon" by Rian James, the script for this one (written by Albert Beich and Oscar Millard) was actually penned way back in 1944 and had been sitting around collecting dust at Warner Brothers for around 20 years before finally being filmed. And it's definitely a good thing they finally did produce this one because it's a worthy suspense-drama with excellent acting, nicely-drawn characters and several last reel twists that really throw you for a loop. The score (by André Previn) and b/w cinematography (by Ernest Haller) are both excellent, and the mansion interiors were filmed at the amazingly ornate Greystone Park & Mansion in Beverly Hills. Davis (who also got to play twin sisters in 1946's A STOLEN LIFE) is great, as usual, and the supporting performances are all fine, with Malden and Delevanti adding especially nice touches to the film via their supporting roles. The cast also includes Philip Carey as a police sergeant, Jean Hagen (in her final role) as one of Margaret's uppity friends, George Macready, Estelle Winwood, Bert Remsen as a bartender and Monika Henreid (the director's daughter) as a maid.
I'd like to dedicate this review to Mr. Malden, who'd just passed away a few weeks ago after a long and distinguished career. An Emmy and Oscar-winning actor best known for his performances in A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE (1952) and ON THE WATERFRONT (1954), as well as his role as Detective Mike Stone on TV's The Streets of San Francisco (1972-1977), Malden also lent his talents to the genre films PHANTOM OF THE RUE MORGUE (1954) and CAT O' NINE TAILS (1971).

Monster from the Ocean Floor (1954)
...aka: It Stalked the Ocean Floor
...aka: Monster Maker
Wyott Ordung
A light, talky, mildly enjoyable 66-minute-long sea monster quickie that's most notable for being the very first film produced by Roger Corman, aka my hero. Filmed in California on a paltry 12,000 budget, it would become the modest hit that helped to launch the career of one of the - if not the - most important people working in the horror genre during the next fifty years. Unlike most other monster movies from this decade, the film is also notable for centering its action around a female protagonist and, as played by Anne Kimbell, she's the kind of brave, likable and assertive heroine that major studio productions seemed to frown upon using at the time and were usually relegated to independent films (note Corman's novel use of Beverly Garland in several sci-fi/ horror productions just a few years after this one). Though there are some romantic elements thrown in (including a silly beach serenade), Kimbell's character - Julie Blair; a "merchandise illustrator" vacationing in Mexico - is more interested in investigating claims of a legendary "devil" rumored to have red, glowing eyes (or is that, eye) that lurks beneath the waters and strikes fear in the hearts of the natives. Instead of letting herself get swept off her feet by the the obligatory handsome young scientist stationed nearby; Stanford marine biologist Steve Dunning (Stuart Wade), or simply tagging along with Steve and his superior Dr. Baldwin (Dick Pinner) on their boat, Julie is too busy charting her own adventure and taking solo diving expeditions to search for the creature. At one point she even courageously battles a shark with a pocket knife!
Other than Kimbell's character and performance, there's not much else to recommend here aside from some fun use of a pedal-powered mini-submarine, decent underwater photography (by Floyd Crosby) and nice Channel Islands/Catalina shooting locations. The male performances are uniformly wooden, there's next to no action and those expecting more monster or horror-oriented scenes are going to be sorely disappointed when they discover the one-eyed, tentacled monster doesn't even make an appearance until the final minutes of the picture. On the plus side, the monster design by Bob Baker really isn't too bad for its day and the creature at least gets a good death scene!
Director Ordung (who plays a supporting role here as well) had previously earned his Z-movie stripes by scripting the notoriously awful ROBOT MONSTER and would go on to write TARGET EARTH (1954) and FIRST MAN INTO SPACE (1959). Future LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS star Jonathan Haze (billed as "Jack Hayes") makes his film debut in a minor role, and Corman also has a brief cameo as Baldwin's "one man crew."

Case Studies - Dr Lynda Shaw
Lynda has worked with dozens of businesses enabling them to increase business success through using the insights of neuroscience and business psychology. These case studies demonstrate how these businesses have benefited.
Contact Lynda's office to discuss your current challenge.
Keeping staff engaged during significant change
A business founder contacted Lynda with mixed emotions. On the one hand he was ecstatic because he had succeeded in selling his company to a large group. On the other he was anxious at having to stay for a transition period whilst he watched his staff tackle the turmoil of new ways of doing things. They were updating their CVs preparing to leave. He knew to lose good people en masse would damage the hard-earned reputation that the new company had bought into. He and Lynda worked together and came up with a strategy that all parties were happy with. Basically, he was worried his people would think badly of him, so he kept his office door tightly closed and hardly went out into the corridors. Lack of communication and no transparency meant that the staff filled in the gaps. You see the brain doesn't like gaps, so it makes up what it doesn't know based on its own perceptions. This meant that everyone was working on totally wrong information and coming to the wrong conclusions. The first big step to improving the situation was for the business founder to call a meeting and give a heart-felt honest update. The result was the staff felt trusted and respected. They relaxed a little and were then open to embracing further suggestions he and Lynda put together and were able to move forward. It worked. The business continued to flourish.
Insights into emotion leads to increased morale and business performance
An MD of a medium sized company wanted to promote six members of staff to become team leaders. He employed specialists HR advisors who ran various psychometric tests, conducted interviews and between them they decided they had chosen the best six. One year later he contacted Lynda to say things were going desperately wrong, with much discontent rippling through the company. Lynda spent a day interviewing the six team leaders, middle management and senior management. She then ran an analysis on the interviews and discovered recurring themes that were damaging morale and the business as a whole. Reviewing her analysis, the MD decided that some training was need on communication skills and emotional intelligence. This was carried out and things got better, but there was more to be done. After a few sensitive conversations, it was clear that some of the team leaders, although brilliant at what they did, simply were unable to 'read' emotional signals from their people. So Lynda worked with each person individually to give a template as to what the expressions and words truly meant. This was highly successful. Morale improved significantly leading to increased business performance.
Ensuring unconscious bias isn't limiting promotion of women
A large firm needed to work on more women becoming partners. But the numbers of women being promoted was disappointingly low. Lynda spent a few days with the board, observing the language they used across and downline, as well as unconscious biases that the senior people were unaware of. It transpired that they had unwittingly been eroding confidence in some of the female candidates and also had been showing strong gender bias as to how stereotypically a woman 'should' behave in business, which was not how a partner 'should' act. Once these habits were identified, Lynda was keen to show that this did not make the seniors bad people, it was simply old conditioning that gets locked away below conscious awareness and drives our behaviour. Lynda's analysis and insights brought about positive change and subsequently more women became partner that year. Being bias-conscious was the way forward.

Q: HABTM and has_one model error I have two classes: Restream and Channel. Channel could have many restreams and restream can belong to many channels. However, I need Restream also to store active_channel -- id of a channel that is using it now.

I found out, that it fails on statement SELECT  "channels".* FROM "channels" WHERE "channels"."restream_id" = $1  ORDER BY "channels"."name" ASC LIMIT 1
What am I doing wrong? Thanx

A: The problem here is that the column name should be restream_id not restreams.
And that you added a column and foreign reference to Restream for Channel, but has one would mean that Channel belongs to Restream, which is the other way around from your code.
I think you could easily fix this by saying that a Restream belongs to a Channel.
class Restream < ActiveRecord::Base
  belongs_to :active_channel, class_name: 'Channel'
  has_and_belongs_to_many :channels
  ...
end

class Channel < ActiveRecord::Base
  has_and_belongs_to_many :restreams
  ...
end

This solution assumes you want to store the "active" channel on the restream, meaning a channel can have many/one restream(s).
If you want the other way around, you will have to switch around all the code, rollback your DB change your migration, then everything should work.

A: You messed up the column name. In ActiveRecord conventions foreign key columns should end with _id.
If you have not yet committed the bad migration you can simply roll it back with rake db:rollback and fix the migration.
add_column :restreams, :active_channel_id, :integer, index: true
add_foreign_key :restreams, :channels, column: :active_channel_id

Otherwise you need to create a new migration that renames the column.
remove_foreign_key(:restreams, :channels, column: :active_channel)
remove_index(:restreams, :active_channel_id)
rename_column(:restreams, :active_channel, :active_channel_id)
add_foreign_key(:restreams, :channels, column: :active_channel_id)
add_index(:restreams, :active_channel_id)

And you should be using a belongs_to and not a has_one relationship as the latter puts the foreign key column on the other side of the relationship.
class Restream < ActiveRecord::Base
  # stores the relation as `restreams.active_channel_id`
  belongs_to :active_channel, class_name: 'Channel',
                              optional: true

  has_and_belongs_to_many :channels
  ...
end

class Channel < ActiveRecord::Base
  # or has_one
  has_many :active_restreams, class_name: 'Restream',
                              foreign_key: 'active_channel_id'
  has_and_belongs_to_many :restreams
  ...

end

        }
    }
    float mean = 0.0f;
    for (int i = 0; i < calibration_values.size(); i++) {
        mean += calibration_values.get(i);
    }
    mean = mean / calibration_values.size();
    Message message = handler.obtainMessage(1);
    Bundle bundle = new Bundle();
    bundle.putFloat("y_offset", mean);
    message.setData(bundle);
    handler.sendMessage(message);
}

}
Now I implemented a calibrate() function to measure the mean offset when the phone is lying still on a table for example. The problem is, when I call this function from my main thread, it blocks the UI.
sensorThread.calibrate(); is called from my main thread on my instance of sensorThread which was created when the main activity started.
How do I properly call this function to not block my UI?

A: As zapl correctly stated:

A method is executed in the thread it was called from, not in which class it's source is.

So I used a message to let my Thread now I require a new calibration. This works fine for me.

The Band of the Hawk Rock "Princely Robes" for Black Friday
The Band of the Hawk gives thanks to all the Hawks worldwide with a brand new album from their lead lyricist, Yeaux Majesty. PRINCELY ROBES, produced entirely by Noah Archangel, is the first solo project from Yeaux Majesty since he changed his name from KING in 2017. The project features 10 new tracks with a couple features from fellow Hawks Juskwam and Spear Chukka. Unlike the previous releases, PRINCELY ROBES has a unique sound, dubbed "Southern Fried Boom Bap". They keep the nitty gritty 90's sounds, but overlay it with some futuristic sounds and that southern 808 bass. Songs like "God's Children" & "King Midas" give you that classic New York feel. Then comes tracks like "Turds" and "Hueston Gospel" sound new but still restore the feeling of something real. Plus the usual BOHUP skit rounds off the record. This project fulfills the status quo for any BOHUP fan, but surely will attract new fans alike that were missing that extra touch. #BOHUP
Fan Tip: If you listen to 'A DIFFERENT CLOTH" first, then stream PRINCELY ROBES, it makes for a flavorful experience.

# --description--

Create a new `const` named `pieGraph` and set it equal to `rightDashboard.append('svg')`. This will add an SVG element for the pie graph as a child of the div you just added. The pie graph will have three slices, one for each platform. It will display a percentage of how many followers each platform has for the displayed year.

Use of debt to increase the expected return on equity. Financial leverage is measured by
the ratio of debt to debt plus equity.
The equity (ownership) capital of a business can serve
as the basis for securing debt capital (borrowing money). In this way, a
business increases the total capital available to invest in its assets and
can make more sales and more profit. The strategy is to earn operating
profit, or earnings before interest and income tax (EBIT), on the capital
supplied from debt that is more than the interest paid on the debt capital.
A Financial leverage gain equals the EBIT earned on debt capital
minus the interest on the debt. A Financial leverage gain augments earnings
on equity capital. A business must earn a rate of return on its assets
(ROA) that is greater than the interest rate on its debt to make a Financial
leverage gain. If the spread between its ROA and interest rate is unfavorable,
a business suffers a Financial leverage loss.
Debt financing amplifies the effects of changes in operating income on the returns to stockholders.

The use of creative accounting practices to alter a Financial statement
reader's impression of a firm's business performance.
Objectives of a Financial nature that the firm will strive to accomplish during the period
covered by its Financial plan.
A Financial blueprint for the Financial future of a firm.
The process of evaluating the investing and financing options available to a firm. It
includes attempting to make optimal decisions, projecting the consequences of these decisions for the firm in
the form of a Financial plan, and then comparing future performance against that plan.
Status of a firm's assets, liabilities, and equity accounts as of a certain time, as shown in its Financial statement.
That portion of the media devoted to reporting Financial news.
The result of dividing one Financial statement item by another. Ratios help analysts interpret
Financial statements by focussing on specific relationships.
financial reports and statements
Financial means having to do with
money and economic wealth. Statement means a formal presentation.
Financial reports are printed and a copy is sent to each owner and each
major lender of the business. Most public corporations make their Financial
reports available on a web site, so all or part of the Financial report
can be downloaded by anyone. Businesses prepare three primary Financial
statements: the statement of Financial condition, or balance sheet;
the statement of cash flows; and the income statement. These three key
Financial statements constitute the core of the periodic Financial reports
that are distributed outside a business to its shareowners and lenders.
Financial reports also include footnotes to the Financial statements and
much other information. Financial statements are prepared according to
generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), which are the authoritative
rules that govern the measurement of net income and the reporting
of profit-making activities, Financial condition, and cash flows.
Internal Financial statements, although based on the same profit
accounting methods, report more information to managers for decision
making and control. Sometimes, Financial statements are called simply
Financials.
Financial reports or statements
The Profit and Loss account, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow statement of a business.
The risk that the cash flow of an issuer will not be adequate to meet its Financial obligations.
Also referred to as the additional risk that a firm's stockholder bears when the firm utilizes debt and equity.
Risk to shareholders resulting from the use of debt.
financial slack
Ready access to cash or debt financing.
Financial Trend Analysis
Process of analyzing Financial statements of a company for any continuing relationship.
The accounting period adopted by a business for the production of its Financial statements.
Finished goods Inventory that is ready for sale, either having been purchased as such or the result of a conversion from raw materials through a manufacturing process.
Fraudulent Financial Reporting
Intentional misstatements or omissions of amounts or disclosures
in Financial statements done to deceive Financial statement users. The term is used interchangeably
with accounting irregularities. A technical difference exists in that with fraud, it
must be shown that a reader of Financial statements that contain intentional and material misstatements
must have used those Financial statements to his or her detriment. In this book, accounting
practices are not alleged to be fraudulent until done so by an administrative, civil, or
criminal proceeding, such as that of the securities and Exchange Commission, or a court.
Future-Oriented Financial Information
Information about prospective results of operations, Financial position and/or changes in Financial position, based on assumptions about future economic conditions and courses of action. Future-oriented Financial information is presented as either a forecast or a projection.
Negotiable U.S. Treasury securities.
Holder-of-record date
The date on which holders of record in a firm's stock ledger are designated as the
recipients of either dividends or stock rights. Also called date of record.
A corporation that owns enough voting stock in another firm to control management and
operations by influencing or electing its board of directors.
Organizations that invest, including insurance companies, depository institutions,
pension funds, investment companies, mutual funds, and endowment funds.
The gradual domination of Financial markets by institutional investors, as opposed to
individual investors. This process has occurred throughout the industrialized world.
Institutionally Induced Unemployment

The collections' production series follow a similar system used by the studio. For the most part, artwork such as drawings, color models, storyboards, backgrounds, and cels, are found under the series for the production that originated them. Occasionally, the production series contain administrative papers. However, most documents relating to office management and administration, promotion and publicity, contracts, legal matters, and other matters of a more general nature, are found in topical series. If the material in one of the topical series relate to a particular production or project, that is noted in the folder title. If not, or the material was related in a more general way to the studio, it has been described as general. The series reflecting artworks from a particular production are arranged by production. Production series are organized chronologically by release date. After those, series are named for the type of materials they contain.

On Wednesday morning, 338 young women filled the seats of the House of Commons and spoke about their concerns for Canada and hopes for the future. This is the second time that Equal Voice has hosted Daughters of the Vote, bringing a diverse group of women aged 18 to 23 to Ottawa to meet with parliamentarians, attend leadership workshops and help make the connections that will hopefully propel many of them into public office.
Organizers couldn't have predicted the heightened tension on Parliament Hill this week with the expulsion of former Ministers Jody Wilson-Raybould and Jane Philpott from the Liberal caucus Tuesday night, the latest turn in the ongoing SNC-Lavalin scandal. The damning imagery of ejecting two of the Liberal's most celebrated feminist elected representatives was lost on no one.
The voices of thousands of Ontario high school and middle school students, on the other hand, echoed loudly yesterday as they walked out of class to protest proposed government cuts to education. A viral post by Natalie Moore, a Grade 12 student at Listowel District Secondary School, started the movement, building on a provincewide action in September when students protested the planned rollback of the 2015 Health and Phys Ed curriculum. In the space of a few weeks, thousands of students were organizing, conducting outreach, preparing communication materials, and fielding media calls. There are currently over 50,000 signatures on their online petition, and counting.
In Quebec, more than 150,000 students walked out of school last month and took to the streets across the province as part of climate marches around the world, inspired by 16-year-old Swedish activist Greta Thunberg, who began holding solitary demonstrations outside the Swedish parliament last year.
It was a stark display of the alarm of a generation and the anger directed at older generations who are not taking climate change seriously enough. The 20 warmest years on record have all come in the past 22 years, essentially the lifetime of today's children and young adults.
Daughters of the Vote delegates also spoke about climate change and other pressing issues in House of Commons and at various Committees.
Hannah Martin, a Mi'kmaq delegate from We'kopekwitk (Millbrook First Nation), challenged Justin Trudeau about the controversial Alton Gas project in Nova Scotia and the government's failure to protect the river and traditional fisheries from devastation and uphold Indigenous rights.
Immaculee Kalimurhima spoke of her years living in refugee camps and how difficult it was for her family to establish themselves when they arrived in Canada. Her highly skilled parents couldn't find work; their education and experience "counted for nothing," she said. They have been forced to take additional training at considerable cost, while she herself has had to care for her younger sibling, juggling school and work to support the family. Foreign credential recognition is a huge barrier for new immigrants, consigning many to years of poverty.
Megan Linton, a disability rights activist and student from Winnipeg, spoke of the damaging impact of institutionalization for people with disabilities, a practice that continues to this day. The continuing lack of community supports undermines the fundamental rights of people with disability and their quality of life. "Warehousing people is not feminist," Linton concluded.
Phoenix Nakagawa, also from Winnipeg, spoke about the profound transphobia she has experienced in her efforts to participate and compete in rowing. While her own club has supported her dreams, she has been humiliated time and again at provincial and national competitions. "Where is the government's accountability?" she asks.
But no more. Daughters of the Vote, Ontario students, and young climate activists across the country and around the globe are speaking out, reclaiming their right to a sustainable, supported and empowering future. And it is about time we listened.

You will have an initial consultation with Dr. Hunsicker to discuss the most appropriate technique for your earlobe repair surgery. On the day of your surgery, Dr. Hunsicker will perform your in-office procedure using local anesthesia. Most torn earlobes can be effectively and safely corrected using delicate surgical repair techniques. After planning and marking, you will have a lidocaine numbing solution injected into your earlobe. In order to rebuild the earlobe, the healed and scarred areas of the tear are removed and fine suture threads are used to stitch the ear. This will support the repair and minimize scarring.
How is a split earlobe repaired?
The doctor performs small incisions on each side of the split earlobe, creating a clean edge. The earlobe is then stitched back together.
What should I expect after earlobe repair?
After your earlobe surgery, some discomfort can be expected. Small amounts of antibiotic ointment are applied at home for a few days ensuring cleanliness, but there is usually no downtime.
The recovery process varies, so follow Dr. Hunsicker's specific instructions regarding the post-operative routine. Restrictions commonly include no earrings for 3 months post-operatively. Stitches are removed on Day 4 on the front of the earlobe, and on Day 7 in the back of the earlobe.
Earlobe repair is a simple procedure at our South Denver plastic surgery office. Dr. Hunsicker would be happy to discuss the benefits of this surgery with you. Contact us online or call 720-283-2500 to schedule a consultation at Revalla Plastic Surgery in the Denver area.

PART 1: Baracksdubs' Fadi Saleh started at UT in pre-med
on April 12 th, 2016
(EDITOR'S NOTE: This is the first article in a two-part series on local entrepreneur Fadi Saleh, the creative genius behind Baracksdubs.)
By Tom Ballard, Chief Alliance Officer, PYA
Fadi Saleh is one of those people you meet with whom you could have fun sitting around drinking an adult beverage or having a very intense, introspective discussion about one's purpose in life.
The charismatic Ohio native who grew-up in Memphis is the creative genius behind Baracksdubs, a YouTube channel that Saleh launched as a freshman at the University of Tennessee (UT) in 2012. The concept, which has drawn considerable national visibility, combines video clips of speeches by President Barack Obama with popular songs.
Many of our readers will recall Saleh from his pitch during demo day for the inaugural "MediaWorks" accelerator last August. Baracksdubs' tagline says it all: "Putting words in people's mouths."
For Saleh, Baracksdubs is a manifestation of a short but active life exploring a variety of passions and educational pursuits as he charts the right path for himself both personally and professionally.
"I was a high-achieving kid, the first born in a family of eight – four brothers, a sister and my parents," he says about his background. "I always wanted to go to medical school."
So, it was only natural that Saleh, who was selected as a Haslam Scholar at UT, elected pre-med as his major when he came to campus in the fall of 2011. Today, he is finishing his thesis in the Haslam College of Business with a focus on social entrepreneurship. That's a very different educational path, something that Saleh explains in his characteristic transparent manner.
"I always liked to make things," he said of his pre-college years that included interests in drawing, doing animated video editing, and producing flash games.
Fast forward to the fall of 2011, and Saleh has enrolled as a at UT. He's pursuing his pre-med goal, taking honors organic chemistry that he describes as a course to weed-out students quickly. One of those was Saleh.
"I left biochemistry kicking and screaming," he says. "I loved the material but bombed the tests."
As he went back home to Memphis for the winter break, Saleh says he felt "mental and emotional anguish. I questioned my future."
It was that fateful trip that led to the launch of Baracksdubs. At the time, Saleh was making lip-sync videos.
"I was singing Rihanna's song 'Cheers (Drink to That)' one day in the shower," Saleh says when the idea of linking her song with a video of President Obama came to him. He spent the balance of the break – roughly non-stop work around the clock for two weeks – finalizing the YouTube video that was first posted on January 4, 2012, garnered 150,000 views in its first week, and is now approaching 3 million views.
About the same time, Saleh found a video clip of the President talking about Lady Gaga.
"It inspired me to come out with a second video," he said. This one was "Barack Obama Singing Born This Way by Lady Gaga," a video that has generated nearly 10.5 million views since its posting just six days after the first Baracksdubs.
Today, there are 35 videos on YouTube with President Obama linked to singers ranging from Justin Timberlake to Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber, MC Hammer, Michael Jackson, and Taylor Swift.
The YouTube video with the most views is "Barack Obama Singing Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen." It has been viewed 47 million times.
"Over the last four years, I have realized the place of Baracksdubs in my life mission," Saleh says.

Card Technology Magazine Recognizes GlobalPlatform Card Specification v2.2 In Annual Breakthrough Award
15 May, 2007 – The GlobalPlatform Card Specification v2.2 has been voted a finalist in the Innovation category of the annual Card Technology Breakthrough Awards, presented today by Card Technology Chief Editor, Dan Balaban, at CardTech SecurTech 2007 in San Francisco.
GlobalPlatform Card Specification v2.2, which was published by the international specifications body in response to industry feedback in March 2006, was recognized in the Innovation category which acknowledged the biggest advance in smart card technology in 2006. Judges gave credit to nominees which were successful in advancing technology in a way not done before and for the commercial feasibility of solutions.
This prestigious industry accolade for GlobalPlatform's Card Specification closely follows its recent recognition by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which incorporated GlobalPlatform technology, based on the GlobalPlatform Card Specification, in the ISO/IEC 7816-13 international standard: commands for application management in a multi-application environment, in March 2007. GlobalPlatform is now implementing ISO 7816-13 within the GlobalPlatform Card Specification v2.2 and as the first specification body to be fully compliant, can provide card management systems with a simple migration path from the existing GlobalPlatform Specifications to the new ISO standard.
Gil Bernabeu, GlobalPlatform's Technical Director and Technical Advisor for the Standardization and Technology Department at Gemalto, comments: "For GlobalPlatform to be recognized at this level for the work that is very much driven by its membership speaks volumes about the importance and influence of industry collaboration.
"By listening to the demands of various smart card markets and responding to their needs, the GlobalPlatform membership, through their participation on GlobalPlatform's technical committees, ensure that the organization and its technology constantly evolves in line with, even ahead of, market requirements. This in turn, ensures that all GlobalPlatform members and other implementers of GlobalPlatform technology remain at the forefront of the market through their ability to offer products and solutions which are flexible, interoperable, scaleable, secure and cost-effective.
"On behalf of GlobalPlatform I'd like to offer sincere thanks, and congratulations, to all member organizations and individuals involved with the development of GlobalPlatform Card Specification v2.2."
Available for public download from the GlobalPlatform website (www.globalplatform.org), the GlobalPlatform Card Specification v2.2 has succeeded in extending the relevance and capabilities of GlobalPlatform's interoperable smart card specification to the government eID / ePassport and the mobile telecommunications smart card sectors by addressing key functionality and security requests received from these industries. Updates from the previous version of the GlobalPlatform Card Specification v2.1, include:
Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) functionality
Over the Air (OTA) Card Content Management capabilities
Support for dual-interface contact / contactless smart cards
An extension of the Application Programming Interface (API) providing the card management framework with the vocabulary and parameters required to support both Multos and Java Card
A trust structure required to enable dynamic post-issuance management
There are approximately 150 million GlobalPlatform smart cards in circulation that can now migrate to this latest specification and benefit from its increased functionality.
Separately, GlobalPlatform is reacting to the Personal Identity Verification (PIV) of Federal Employees and Contractors initiative, HSPD12-mandate, which aims to specify the architecture and technical requirements for a common identification standard for Federal employees. By working with various US Government departments, GlobalPlatform aims to assist with Part 2 of the program which will detail specifications that support technical interoperability among PIV systems of Federal departments and agencies. The work will produce a defined instruction set on how to apply GlobalPlatform Messaging to PIV that complies with the US Federal Pre-Issuance Requirements (PIR) specifications.
-ENDS –For further media information on GlobalPlatform, please contact Lee'ann Kaufman / Sarah Jones at iseepr: leeann@iseepr.co.uk / sarah@iseepr.co.uk / +44 (0) 113 274 5252
GlobalPlatform is the global leader in smart card infrastructure development and its proven, technical specifications for cards, devices and systems are known as the standard for smart card infrastructure. GlobalPlatform is a member driven association with cross-industry representation from all world continents. For more information about GlobalPlatform, visit: www.globalplatform.org
