Devoted to You Love
He was sent to guard her body . . . he didn't expect her to steal his heart.
Devoted to Love, an all-new sexy romantic suspense standalone from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Shayla Black is available now!
Her sister's wedding was hardly the place to find a hook up, but after one look at friend-of-the-groom and special operative Josiah Grant, small-town Texas beauty Magnolia West immediately fell in lust. After a stunningly sensual night together, Maggie is prepared for the two of them to go their separate ways. After all, she's not a happily-ever-after kind of girl. But Josiah—and danger—change her plans.
Josiah isn't looking for love…but Maggie rouses his body and stirs his heart like no other woman. She's got a rocky romantic past, and a smart man would steer clear. But when the murder quotient in Kendall County rises and all signs point to a mysterious group nearby who have been harassing Maggie's family, he can't leave her unprotected—especially when he realizes he's fallen hard for her.
As tension mounts and the menace closes in, Josiah will do anything to prove to Maggie that their love is real…but can they stay alive long enough to share it?

One of the problems involved in producing a magazine that is published bi-monthly is that while the news items we include are hot at the time that I'm putting pages together, they can be quite tepid by the time SHERLOCK plops through your letter box. The publishers and I have been conscious of this dilemma for some time and now we have resolved it. Our intention is to keep the dedicated reader up to date and entertained at the same time.
WAS SHERLOCK HOLMES A WOMAN?
If you liked Issue 62, or indeed if it's not quite what you're looking for, then you might find the following products of interest.


Easily identifiable from afar, as much by its volume as by its lovely curved lines, this new watch in the CARROUSEL collection is a veritable work of art. Entirely crafted by hand using invisible settings, the curved case is bathed in a crystalline cape of 161 baguette diamonds totalling 10.86 carats.
Stone setting is already a technical prowess, but it is taken to a new level in the forms of FANTASIA. The gold disappears in favour of a cloak of diamonds that sparkle with maximum fire to illuminate the amazingly original dial. Surrounded by diamonds, seven rivers of colours – 14 blue sapphires, 14 emeralds, and 20 rubies – flow harmoniously to the heart of the dial as if by magic.
Two hands with four faces tell the time, a concept that is unique in the world of Haute Horlogerie and Fine Jewellery. The carrousel is composed of seven distinct rings set with 32 emeralds, 32 blue sapphires, and 48 rubies. These seven rings turn at their own rhythm and differently one from the other, while echoing their counterparts on the dial. On demand, they illuminate the world that surrounds them with superb multicoloured brilliance.
With its magic "rings," FANTASIA comes out of the ateliers of the thousand and one nights of PETER TANISMAN. An ode to beauty, only fifty of these remarkable pieces will be made.


The 2008 Olympics are history and we will have to wait and see which prognosticators from our recent San Francisco Money Show win the toss-up as to China's post-Olympics fortunes—a continued pullback or a resumption to a bullish trend.
This week has been mostly positive for many world exchanges. Both China and Toronto saw financials make some gains, due to some healthier earnings reports. And in Europe, the Euro's recovery from a six-month low against the dollar seemed to boost investor sentiment.
In the US, we are all consumed with the Democratic National Convention and its accompanying psychodramas. The Republicans have their turn next week in St. Paul, Minnesota, as investors wonder who will win the election and how it will affect the markets.
As I write this, commodities are up, mostly across the board, with oil having edged a bit higher this week, to around $117 a barrel. In a bet that the commodity cycle is not finished, mutual fund company Invesco this week announced that it will debut four new commodity-focused ETFs next month, specializing in metals, coal, steel, and agriculture. Are they late to the party? We'll see.
And speaking of agriculture, one commodity that has seen its shares climb more than $600 a ton—more than 150%—since early 2007, is potash. Gordon Pape, editor of the Canada Report and Internet Wealth Builder, discusses just that subject in our strategies section this week, recommending a company that is benefiting from the surge in fertilizer demand.
Paul Goodwin, editor of Cabot China and Emerging Markets Report joined us for a Q&A on emerging markets, urging caution for investors in frontier markets while recommending a conservative strategy to take advantage of the potential in less-developed countries.
Elaborating on the emerging BRIC regions, Vivian Lewis, editor of the Global Investing and Right Side Alerts blogs makes some interesting observations about the future of housing in those markets. And Vahan Janjigian of Forbes Growth Investor sees an opportunity with a Chinese business devoting itself to natural healing products.
This week, in the US, we await economic reports on auto sales, construction spending, and the current unemployment rate. Recent economic numbers on smaller foreclosures, as well as the rise in mortgage applications and durable goods sent a wave of goodwill through the markets.
And amidst all the bad news we've heard lately, I've noticed an interesting phenomenon. Instead of the doldrums and naysaying that have been the common thread among commentators, the folks I'm regularly speaking with—professional colleagues, as well as individual investors—seem to be avidly reaching for good news in the markets and economy—almost trying by force of will—to bring about a recovery.
Who knows? Should the Republican convention generate the optimism that we've seen with the Democrats this week, we may just be in for a nice little boost in the markets. Let's hope so!


Purpose: This Informational Publication describes the annual Connecticut sales and use tax exclusion during a one-week period in August for clothing and footwear. Legislation enacted in 2015 reduced the exemption to clothing and footwear costing less than $100 per item. The "sales tax holiday" occurs the third Sunday in August through the following Saturday.
Effective Date: Effective for sales occurring the week starting with the third Sunday in August 2015 through the following Saturday, and applicable to that week in following years.
Statutory Authority: 2015 Conn. Pub. Acts 244, §§ 71, 222; Conn. Gen. Stat §12-407e; and Conn. Agencies Regs. §12-426-30.
Definitions: This informational publication uses the following terms as defined below.
Pay in full means the customer pays or is charged the full purchase price of the item.
Delivery means when the customer takes possession of the clothing item at the retail location, or when the retailer delivers or places the clothing item in shipment to the customer.
Nontaxable Sales of Clothing or Footwear During the "Sales Tax Holiday": Sales or purchases of clothing or footwear costing less than $100 per item are not subject to Connecticut sales and use taxes during the exclusion week.
This one-week exclusion applies to clothing sales made by Connecticut and out-of-state retailers to Connecticut customers.
Exclusion applies to each item sold. The exclusion applies to each item of clothing or footwear sold, regardless of how many items are sold to a customer on the same invoice. However, for any item that costs $100 or more, sales tax applies to the entire price of that item.
Articles normally sold as a unit. Articles that are normally sold as a unit (for example, a pair of shoes) must continue to be sold in that manner; they cannot be separated and sold as individual items to qualify for the exclusion.
Example: A suit normally sells for $150. The retailer cannot sell the pants for $75 and the suit coat for $75 in order to qualify the suit for the exclusion. However, if the pants and the coat are normally sold as separate items with separate price tags, the exclusion may apply to each item sold.
Clothing and Footwear Defined: The exemption during the "sales tax holiday" week for articles of clothing and footwear, as described in Conn. Agencies Regs. § 12-426-30, includes most articles of clothing and footwear intended to be worn on or about the body. However, certain items are excluded.
Any special clothing or footwear primarily designed for athletic activity or protective use that is not normally worn except when used for the athletic activity or protective use for which it was designed.
Articles of clothing considered safety apparel are fully exempt under a separate exemption in Conn. Gen. Stat. §12-412(91). (See Policy Statement 2004(4), Sales and Use Tax Exemption for Safety Apparel).
See the DRS website's frequently asked questions (FAQs) for more details about what is considered exempt clothing and footwear during the exclusion week.
Cash Discounts, Coupon Sales, and Rebates: Cash discounts are price reductions that a store offers its customers, such as back-to-school sales. Tax is calculated on the final sales price (after all reductions have been taken). To determine if an item of clothing or footwear will be taxed during the exclusion week, the retailer should use the reduced sales price after the cash discount is deducted from the full or original sales price.
Example: A retailer sells a coat for $115. The retailer offers a 20% discount on the coat during the exclusion week. The sales price of the coat is reduced to $92 after the discount is taken. The coat is not taxable because it costs less than $100 during the exclusion week.
Coupons result in an immediate reduction of the sales price of an item when the coupon is presented to the retailer. Tax is calculated on the final sales price of the item after all coupons and other reductions have been applied. A retailer, a manufacturer, or another third party may issue coupons. To determine whether an item of clothing or footwear costs less than $100, the retailer should use the sales price after the face value of the coupon (or any higher value given to the coupon by the retailer) is deducted from the original sales price.
Example: A retailer sells a coat for $120. The retailer has a 25% off coupon in its advertising flyer, which the customer presents when buying the coat during the exclusion week. The sales price after the coupon is used is $90.00. The coat is not taxable because it costs less than $100.
"Buy one, get one free" and similar offers. If a retailer offers "buy one, get one free" or "two for the price of one" on items of clothing or footwear during the exclusion week, the exemption applies as long as the total sales price for each item is less than $100.
Example: A retailer sells a suit for $130 and offers a second suit for half price when bought with the first suit. The first suit costs $130 and does not qualify for the exemption. The second suit costs $65 (half price) and does qualify for the exemption. Together the two suits cost $195. The retailer cannot average the price of the two suits, to $97.50 apiece, to qualify both suits for the exemption.
Rebates, unlike discounts and coupons, do not reduce the sales price of an item. The tax applies to the sales price of an item before the customer obtains a rebate from a manufacturer or third party. The customer gets a rebate separately after the retail sale of the item.
Rain Checks: An article of clothing or footwear costing less than $100 that is purchased during the exclusion week using a rain check is not taxable. If a retailer issues a rain check to a customer during the exclusion week for an article of clothing or footwear costing less than $100 and the customer purchases the item after the exclusion week has ended using the rain check, the item is taxable.
Determining When a Sale Takes Place: The following rules determine whether a sale takes place during the exclusion week.
Retail Store Sales: If a customer purchases an article of clothing or footwear costing less than $100 during the exclusion week and the customer pays in full or is fully charged for the item, the clothing exclusion applies even if delivery is made after the exclusion week. If a customer pays a deposit to the retailer for an article of clothing or footwear costing less than $100 during the exclusion week that is not currently in stock, the exclusion will not apply if delivery is made to the customer after the exclusion week. Delivery is made to the customer when the retailer delivers the item to the customer at the retailer's establishment or at the customer's location, or ships the item to the customer.
If a customer puts an article of clothing or footwear that costs less than $100 on layaway during the exclusion week, the item qualifies for the tax exclusion, and none of the customer's payments on the item are taxable even if they are made after the exclusion week. The item will not be taxable when the customer takes delivery or possession of it.
The selling price of an article of clothing or footwear plus any additional charges a retailer imposes or will impose for a layaway sale are combined to determine whether the item costs less than $100.
If an article of clothing or footwear was put on layaway prior to the exclusion week and the customer takes possession of the item during the exclusion week, the item does not qualify for the exclusion, even if its total cost is less than $100.
Mail Order, Telephone, and Internet Sales: Tax does not apply to the sale of an article of clothing or footwear costing less than $100 sold during the exclusion week by mail, telephone, or over the Internet.
An article of clothing or footwear that costs less than $100 is sold during the exclusion week by mail, phone, or Internet when the customer pays the full purchase price or is fully charged for the item regardless of when the item is delivered. If an order for an article of clothing or footwear that costs less than $100 is placed prior to the exclusion week and the customer pays the full purchase price or is fully charged for the item during the exclusion week, the exclusion applies. If an order for an article of clothing or footwear that costs less than $100 is placed during the exclusion week and the article is not currently in stock, the exclusion does not apply unless the customer pays the full purchase price or is fully charged for the item during that week.
Custom Orders: If the customer places a custom order for an article of clothing or footwear costing less than $100 during the exclusion week and pays for the clothing item in full at the time the order is placed, the customer will receive the benefit of the exclusion even if the item is delivered to the customer after the exclusion week. If the customer places a custom order for an article of clothing or footwear costing less than $100 during the exclusion week, and the customer does not pay in full for the item until it is delivered to the customer, the exclusion does not apply if the article of clothing is delivered after the exclusion week.
Shipping and Handling Charges: Generally, tax applies to any charges by the retailer to the purchaser for shipping or delivery. See Conn. Gen. Stat. §12-407(a)(8) and (9). However, no tax is due on shipping and delivery charges in connection with any sale that is not taxable before adding the shipping and delivery charges.
Adding shipping and delivery charges to an item of clothing or footwear costing less than $100 does not make the item taxable, even if the price of the item exceeds $100 after the shipping and delivery charges are added.
Example: An item of clothing costs $95. The customer is charged an additional $15 shipping and handling fee, bringing the total to $110. The $95 sales price of the clothing item is not subject to tax. The $15 shipping and handling charge also is not taxable.
Example: An item of clothing costs $95. The customer is charged an additional $15 handling fee, but no shipping or delivery fee. The sales price of the clothing item is $110 and the entire amount is taxable.
Clothing or Footwear Rentals: The rental of an article of clothing or footwear costing less than $100 during the exclusion week is not taxable. The date the customer takes possession of the rented clothing or footwear determines if the rental is made during the exclusion week, even if the customer returns the item to the retailer after the exclusion week.
If the rental period begins before the exclusion week, the exclusion does not apply even if the item is returned to the retailer during the exclusion week.
Example: A customer rents a tuxedo for $75 from a formalwear rental shop. The customer picks up the tuxedo from the shop on the Friday before the exclusion week begins and returns the tuxedo to the shop on the Monday during the exclusion week. The tuxedo rental is taxable.
Example: A customer rents a tuxedo for $75 from a formalwear rental shop. The customer picks up the tuxedo from the shop on the Friday during the exclusion week and returns it to the shop on the Monday after the exclusion week. The tuxedo rental is not taxable.
Exchanges: When a customer purchases an article of clothing or footwear costing less than $100 during the exclusion week and the customer exchanges the item for a like item after the exclusion week, the exchange is not taxable provided the sales price of the like item is also less than $100. A like item is the same item with a different style, different size, or different color (such as a shirt for a shirt).
If the article of clothing or footwear costing less than $100 is exchanged after the exclusion week for a different type of clothing item (not a like item), the exclusion does not apply, even if the original purchase was made during the exclusion week and cost less than $100.
If a customer purchases an article of clothing or footwear costing less than $100 during the exclusion week, then returns it during the exclusion week for a refund or credit toward another item costing more than $100, the customer may not use the refund or credit to reduce the price of the second item, even if the customer purchases the second item during the exclusion week. The second item is taxable.
Example: A customer purchases a short sleeve cotton blend dress during the exclusion week for $65 and exchanges it after the exclusion week for a short sleeve silk dress costing $98. The second dress is not taxable because the customer exchanged like items and both items cost less than $100.
Example: A customer purchases a suit for $98 during the exclusion week. Later in the exclusion week, the customer returns the suit and receives full credit toward the purchase of another suit, costing $150. The second suit is taxable.
Repeal of the Year-Round Exemption for Clothing and Footwear: The exemption for clothing or footwear costing less than $50 was repealed for sales occurring on and after July 1, 2011. Legislation passed in 2014 that was to have made such items exempt for sales made on and after July 1, 2015, was repealed before the exemption became effective. Therefore, all sales of clothing and footwear are taxable, except for sales made during the tax holiday week described in this publication.
Effect on Other Documents: Special Notice 2012(12), One-Week Sales and Use Tax Exclusion in August for Clothing and Footwear Under $300, is modified and superseded.
Effect of This Document: An Informational Publication issued by the Department of Revenue Services (DRS) addresses frequently-asked questions about a current position, policy, or practice.


Chick-fil-A is testing a new side powered by the superfood kale at select locations in Texas, Iowa and Florida.

STOPS is a research group in Australia whose mission is to optimise patient outcomes for physical therapists treating low back pain.
The STOPS trial was completed in 2012 with the recruitment of 300 participants. It is the first randomised controlled trial showing moderate to large effect sizes (particularly on back and leg pain) favouring specific Physical Therapy compared to evidence-based advice in subacute non-compensable low back disorders (LBD). A range of secondary outcome measures (global perceived effect, satisfaction with the treatment) also showed clinically meaningful effects. The evidence from the STOPS trial is clear; specific Physical Therapy for subacute LBD works!
The STOPS results prove that specific Physical Therapy works provided it adheres to certain quality requirements. Please visit STOPS Clinical Education for more informations.
The STOPS team has been collaboratibg with Physiopedia since October 2012. They were an instrumental part of the blogging team at IFOMPT 2012 and since then have set up a STOPS Project in Physiopedia.


A discretization algorithm for the numerical solution of a nonlinear integrodifferential equation modeling the temporal variation of the mean number density a(t) in the single-species annihilation reaction A + A → 0 is discussed. The proposed solution for the two-dimensional case (where the integral entering the equation is divergent) uses regularization and then finite differences for the approximation of the differential operator together with a piecewise linear approximation of a(t) under the integral. The presented numerical results point to basic features of the behavior of the number density function a(t) and suggest further improvement of the proposed algorithm.

1. What is Triple talaq?
Triple Talaq, is a form of Islamic divorce which has been used by Muslims in India, especially adherents of Hanafi Sunni Islamic schools of jurisprudence. It allows any Muslim man to legally divorce his wife by stating the word talaq (the Arabic word for "divorce") three times in oral, written, or more recently, electronic form.
