A SMSF is a type of superannuation fund which is managed by the members of the fund who are also its trustees or directors of a trustee company. SMSF's differ from larger commercial or industry superannuation funds which are typically managed by professional trustees in return for a management fee.
Why should I have a SMSF?
SMSF's offer a number of benefits over other types of superannuation funds including greater control over investments; wider range of investment opportunities; ability to borrow to buy direct property; greater tax planning control; greater estate planning opportunities; more flexible pension planning.
Is an SMSF the right thing for me?
An SMSF will take more of your time to look after compared with a retail, employer or industry fund. As trustee you will be fully responsible for ensuring your fund is operated within the law and that all regulatory matters are attended to on a timely basis. You must ensure at all times that your fund is maintained for the sole purpose of providing death or retirement benefits to your members or the members' dependants. This is called the sole purpose test.
However with a best-in-class SMSF administrator such as ITP SMSF we will make running your fund as easy as possible and to help ensure your fund remains compliant at all times.
Is an SMSF going to save me money?
This will largely depend on your super fund balance. Market consensus shows that a SMSF with less than $200,000 may end up costing your more than a retail or industry fund. You would then need to decide whether the additional cost compared to other superannuation options is worth the additional benefits such as great investment choice and control. Generally, the larger the balance of your SMSF the less your fund will cost to run as a % of the fund balance.
Another factor weigh up is the cost of life insurance which will generally cheaper in an employer sponsored or industry fund due to the combined bargaining power of a large number of members. However it is worth checking this out as life insurance rates for SMSF members are trending lower.
How much super do I need before setting one up?
The general consensus is that members should have at least $200,000 in super before establishing a SMSF to be cost effective, however this also depends on investment choice. If your strategy is to use $100,000 of your super as a deposit to buy an investment property within your SMSF, you could end up with an asset value within your fund of much greater than $200,000 and this could make establishing a SMSF well worthwhile.
Who can I speak to for advice before setting up a SMSF?
We advise all clients intending on establishing an SMSF to seek financial planning and legal advice before going ahead to ensure you are making the right decision in terms of your overall circumstances. ITP SMSF can put you in touch with a financial planner if you choose who will be able to provide you with an overall strategy taking into account of your current circumstances and your future goals and objectives. This strategy may or may not include a recommendation to establish a SMSF.
However if you are comfortable with how the idea of a SMSF would sit within your own financial strategy, have conducted your own research and have already made the decision to establish a SMSF, we will be happy to assist you with the setup and ongoing administration of your SMSF.
How much does it cost to set one up?
Whether or not your fund has borrowings.
Setup of the fund structure itself will range from $760 for a new SMSF with individual trustees to $3,170 for a new SMSF which will allow borrowing via a bank loan.
It's possible to commence your fund with a more simple cost and cost effective structure and then modify the structure later to suit your needs, for example, if you decide to borrow to buy a property within your SMSF. However if you have made the decision to, for example, borrow to buy a property at a later stage, it is best practice and more cost effective to set your fund up with the right structure now, rather than make changes later on.
Can I get a tax deduction for the setup fee?
Members are not able to claim a tax deduction for the initial setup as it is considered a capital cost.
What are the ongoing fees and costs?
Other services, fees and costs: where required, your fund may incur additional costs for services such a trust deed update; pension setup; actuarial certificates for allocated, account based and market linked pensions; Limited Recourse Borrowing Arrangement for buying a property with borrowed funds; Business Activity Statements; financial advisor fees; investment strategy updates; change of trustees; amendment to death benefit agreements or nominations; pension reviews; lump sum withdrawals; commercial property and other asset valuation fees; and rectification of compliance breaches.
How do I know my money will be invested wisely?
As trustee of your SMSF you have control over where you invest your super as long as funds are invested in line with what the law allows. There are certain restrictions on where you can invest super within a SMSF and every super must have a regularly review investment strategy. The investment strategy can be formulated by the trustees or with the help of a licenced financial planner.
If you formulate your own strategy we provide a standard document for you to complete which is then adopted as your fund's investment strategy.
ITP SMSF is also able to arrange a financial planner to assist you with formulating and implementing an investment strategy for your SMSF in line with an overall financial plan.
What investments can my SMSF have?
Your SMSF is able to invest in a wide range of investments including direct residential and commercial property; local and international shares; bonds; managed funds; exchange traded funds; term deposits; derivatives and cash.
There are some exceptions, however generally you are not able to buy assets from or lend money to fund members or other related parties and relatives. All investments must be done at arms' length. In house investments which are owned by fund members and relatives are very restricted.
SMSF's cannot invest in a residential property which is occupied or used in any way by fund members or related parties as members are not permitted to gain present day benefits from fund investments.
If your SMSF buys a commercial property, in some cases you are able to lease the property to a related party such as a business owned by a member however again there are restrictions such as the lease being at arms-length and on market terms.
As part of our ongoing administration services, ITP SMSF is able to advise you on whether a particular investment is allowed under the law or subject to any restrictions, however we also recommend you should obtain independent advice from a licensed financial planner before making any investment decisions.
Can I borrow to buy a property through my SMSF?
You can use what is called a limited recourse borrowing arrangement to borrow to buy an investment property through your SMSF. If you decide this fits within your investment strategy ITP SMSF can establish the structure you need to borrow through your SMSF.
A lender can obtain a guarantee from another related entity, however thr rights of the guarantor are also limited to that asset.
How many members can an SMSF have?
A SMSF can have between one and four members.
Where a fund has only member, there must be two individual trustees being the member and one other individual who is not an employee of the other person unless the other person is a relative. Alternatively, a fund can have one member who is also the sole director of the trustee company, or one of two directors of the trustee company.
Can I be paid for my role as trustee of a SMSF or director of trustee company?
No, the law states that a SMSF trustee or director of SMSF trustee company cannot receive any remuneration for their services.
Can I live overseas with an SMSF?
Not for an extended period. For an SMSF to be a 'complying fund' and receive concessional tax treatment, the SMSF must be an Australian resident fund. SMSFs are at risk of losing their complying status, if their members spend time working overseas. This is because the residency rules require trustees and the majority of contributing members to reside in Australia.
Can a member be under 18 years old?
Yes, a SMSF member can be under 18, however if the under-age member does not have a nominated legal personal representative, a parent or guardian must act as trustee of the fund on their behalf. Where the SMSF has a corporate trustee, a parent or guardian is allowed to be a director of the trustee company in place of the underage member.
Should I have individual trustees or a company trustee?
What information do I need to provide to set up a new SMSF with ITP?
Individual Trustees or Company Trustee?
Administration option: Silver, Gold or Platinum?
Why should I choose ITP SMSF over other SMSF administrators?
The ITP difference: Best possible service at the best possible price. We strive to provide you with a high level of service and value. You'll have access to expert advice from a team of qualified accountants, financial planners and lending consultants at your disposal.

Great flags designed by school children for Antarctica Day 2015!
IPF President Alain Hubert displaying the flags at Novo station
Antarctica Day on December 1st was celebrated by people around the world to recognize the peaceful protection of Antarctica as an international space. More than 50 countries work together to protect the Antarctic environment and share their scientific research using a peaceful agreement called the Antarctic Treaty System.
Schools were invited by the International Polar Foundation to design flags for Antarctica and teachers sent a selection of flags which had been made by their students. The IPF received a total of 38 wonderful flags from schools in the United Kingdom, the United States and South Africa. Children from France and Slovakia who had learned about the project from Professor Sneeze also participated in the initiative.
The flags were sent to Antarctica where they were photographed at Novolazarevskaya station located at 70°46'S, 11°50'E, Dronning Maud Land, in East Antarctica. Two photographs of the flags in Antarctica and a signed certificate were sent to the participating schools and children.
Year 4 pupils at Darley Dale Primary School in the United Kingdom greatly enjoyed Antarctica Day as they participated in a workshop with Executive Secretary for IPF UK, Dr. Liz Pasteur. During the workshop, they dressed up in polar clothing and learned a lot about Antarctica as well as sea level rise and ocean acidification by doing science experiments.
This activity is organized in collaboration with Our Spaces and the UK Polar Network.
We would like to thank everyone who has contributed to making Antarctica Day a wonderful experience for all the participants!

A small firework shaped like an animal, vehicle or other structure. Novelties emit small sprays of sparks, crackle, whistle, and often move around the ground on wheels. Certain novelty devices you may find at a fireworks store have been deregulated by DOT as non-explosives, including: bang snaps, party poppers, some smoke items, most sparklers, snakes, and some other items.
Novelties are small fireworks devices with limited amounts of pyrotechnic material and many of them are some of the most fun and interesting of all fireworks items. These are great for kid's birthday parties.

Geothermal well performances depend primarily on four factors: reservoir pressure, permeability, temperature and wellbore size. The ability to predict both the quantity of fluid that can be produced and its thermodynamic state (pressure, temperature, enthalpy, gas content, salinity, etc.) is essential for estimating the total usable energy of a geothermal resource. Numerical reservoir simulators can be utilized to calculate the thermodynamic state of the fluid in the reservoir when it enters the wellbore. To compute the fluid properties as it travels up the wellbore to the well-head given certain reservoir conditions the use of a wellbore simulator is needed. This report contains new correlations for flowing geothermal wells to accurately estimate produced fluid properties.

Is your business's website built using WordPress? If so, is properly secured? All a hacker has to do to enter your WordPress site is figure out your username and password. With increasingly sophisticated tools available to crack these codes, it is easier than ever for your site to be hacked.
This could pose a big problem to your business. Not only can hackers send emails to your customers pretending to be you, they can also gain access to sensitive information about your business and your customers. This information could be used to steal your or your customers' identities, and to break into your customers' credit card and bank accounts.
You want your customers to be sure their information is secure when they are using your site. Potential customers are less likely to interact with sites they do not feel are secure. Unless you can assure your visitors that your site is secure, you could be missing out on a lot of valuable business. WordPress-dedicated hosts like WP Engine offer extra security and data backup perks (and some industry experts like us to help you get there). Not only are secure sites safer for you and your customers, they are also faster. This is because fake traffic from hackers is fended off so they don't use your site's resources. WP Engine's security features are so strong that they are used by the largest, and best known companies that have websites that are set up on WordPress.
Some of the excellent security features of WP Engine include automatic updates to new versions of WordPress. Each time a new version of WordPress is issued, it patches up security holes in previous versions. You don't have to manually upgrade when you use WP Engine. The system automatically does it for you, so your business can continue to run seamlessly while being kept secure and safe for all users.
Further, WP Engine is set up to block potential hacks as they occur, and it does it millions of times a day all over the world. The company has a proprietary and adaptable system that detects and prevents security threats to all WordPress sites hosted with this platform. Preventing hacks is much better than dealing with them after they occur. WP Engine has the technology to block even the most sophisticated hacks, so your site remains safe all the time.
Every WP Engine customer, regardless of size, gets high performance secure technology stacks. If your plan is a shared one, your account is separated from the accounts of other customers at the kernel level and at the file system level. Enterprise customers have sites that run on dedicated servers that are not shared with any other customers. In addition, WP Engine has a combination of firewalls that protect all customer sites from outside hacking attempts. There is also network analysis in place that continually monitors all customer sites to make sure they are protected from any malicious behavior inside the network.
As an added bonus for customers, WP Engine conducts periodic security audits and code reviews. The company partners with independent, outside security businesses to ensure WP Engine is always using the best security measures in the industry. WP Engine is so proud of its enhanced security that it will fix any customer site for free if it gets hacked. Other companies charge thousands of dollars for this. WP Engine is so confident that its security is the best and its customers will not get hacked, it is willing to put its money where its mouth is in this regard.

'Avatar: The Way Of Water' Swims Past $2B Worldwide; Chinese New Year Kicks Off & 'Puss 2' Nears $300M Global – International Box Office
Refresh for latest…: It's now official, James Cameron's Avatar: The Way of Water has become the sixth movie ever to cross the $2B mark worldwide. It is also the filmmaker's third to hit the milestone, alongside Titanic and the original Avatar.
The mega-achievement was presaged ahead of the weekend with the global gross on the 20th Century Studios/Disney sequel now $2.024B through Sunday. That includes $1.426B from overseas turnstiles. This means that offshore, Way of Water has become the No. 4 title of all time, jumping past Avengers: Infinity War and behind only Avatar, Avengers: Endgame and Titanic. This gives Cameron bragging rights to three of the top four movies ever at the international box office.
On a worldwide basis, Way of Water remains the No. 6 film ever, with the Na'vi next set on leap-frogging Infinity War and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. When that happens later this week, the epic sci-fi adventure will become the No. 4 movie of all time globally – and give Cameron three of the top four.
Also globally, Avatar: The Way of Water has grossed $227M from IMAX, overtaking Star Wars: The Force Awakens to become the 2nd highest grossing movie in the format's history.
This sixth weekend overall saw a 38% drop overseas, bringing in a further $56.3M. Owing to the opening of several titles for Lunar New Year (see below), Avatar 2 had a 56% drop in China, however it has reached $229.7M there and stands as the highest grossing studio film of the pandemic era in the market, also having passed the original release of the first Avatar.
The Top 10 overseas markets to date are: China ($229.7M), France ($129.8M), Germany ($117M), Korea ($96.9M), the UK ($81.9M), India ($57.9M), Australia ($55.1M), Mexico ($51.4M), Spain ($47M) and Italy ($45.3M).
Internationally, WoW remains the No. 1 non-local film save in Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, Central America and Vietnam. Regionally overseas, Europe has grossed an estimated $667M to date (72% 3D/Premium formats), Asia-Pacific has done an estimated $598M (75% 3D/PLFs) and Latin America has brought in an estimated $161M to date (54% 3D/PLFs).
The film is now the top-grosser ever in Austria, Lithuania, Bulgaria, Hungary, Lebanon, Romania, Slovakia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Mongolia and Colombia. In terms of studio films, it is the biggest ever in India, Serbia, Turkey and Armenia.
While Avatar 2 has been enjoying a strong (and now extended) run in China, the focus there this weekend was the start of the Lunar New Year festival period. Frant Gwo's sci-fi sequel The Wandering Earth II starring Wu Jing and Andy Lau was the top earner with RMB 472.4M ($69.7M) through Sunday, per Maoyan. It was followed by Zhang Yimou's suspense comedy Full Red River at RMB 402.4M ($59.4M) and the Tony Leung Chiu-Wai-starring historical drama Hidden Blade at RMB 136.5M ($20.1M). Each of the films received high social scores at 9.4, 9.6 and 9.1, respectively according to Maoyan.
Anecdotally, we hear that this New Year period is the most anticipated by the local industry of the past decade. And, contrary to previous years, there were no midnight shows for the new titles, while all screenings were effective from 9 AM local time today. Presales were estimated to have come in lower than last year since the local movies started marketing campaigns later than usual, while we also hear that audiences and theater managers griped about the length of the titles during a holiday that is focused on family reunions — which is interesting given the top three films actually run far shorter than Avatar 2.
IMAX is deep in on the three CNY movies listed above as well as animated fantasy Deep Sea. The four titles grossed $7.2M across IMAX's China network for the 2nd biggest opening day of New Year ever. The Wandering Earth II led play at $5.7M, double its predecessor in 2019.
In other encouraging studio news, Universal/DreamWorks Animation's Puss In Boots: The Last Wish is closing in on $300M global. It saw a tiny drop of 19% internationally this frame to add $17.8M in 78 markets for an offshore cume of $171M and a worldwide total of $297.5M. The international performance (ex-China, where the movie has also been extended), is 39% above Sing 2 at the same point.
Puss is notably scoring in Latin America. In Mexico it overtook Avatar 2 this session for the No. 1 spot and has reached $16.6M to surpass the lifetimes of both Sing movies. In Brazil, the swashbuckler had more admissions than Way of Water and has cumed $9.6M. In Germany, Puss 2 has topped the lifetime of Sing 2 with $12.5M to date. The lead market is France at $18.3M, followed by Mexico, Germany, Australia ($10.9M) and Brazil. The UK and Japan are yet to open.
Damien Chazelle's Babylon was new overseas this weekend in 53 markets with $13.2M. The expansive/expensive proposition was almost naturally tops in France, which is a fan of the filmmaker, landing No. 2 with $3.4M. The UK was soft at $1.8M, followed by Australia with $1M. Korea and Japan bow in February.
Universal/Blumhouse's M3GAN danced to a drop of 43% in 66 offshore markets this weekend, adding $10.9M for a $51.3M international cume to date and $124.6M global. The AI doll is in line with Smile, and above Invisible Man, The Black Phone and Halloween Ends at the same point in the same markets.
Brazil, which leans into scary stuff, was a highlight with the Thursday bow notching the 2nd biggest opening day for a pandemic horror film, only beaten by The Conjuring 3, and the biggest non-sequel horror opening day since Happy Death Day in 2017. As of Saturday it ranked ahead of Avatar 2 in admissions, delivering the strongest performance in popular and mixed theaters. The full frame was good for $1.4M to make it the best non-sequel horror launch weekend since It in 2017. The performance across the film's first three days was almost double Black Phone at the same point – an outstanding result considering that Black Phone opened over holidays and is currently the biggest Blumhouse film in Brazil.
The Top 5 markets to date are Mexico ($7.7M), UK ($5.7M), France ($3.5M), Spain ($2.9M) and Australia ($2.86M).

Thinking of settling in South Africa? Here's information on immigration categories, requirements and application procedures, and the answers to some frequently asked questions.
To immigrate and live in South Africa, you need a permanent residence permit. This permit grants the holder all the rights, privileges, duties and obligations of a citizen, except for those which are explicitly ascribed to citizenship.
This article is currently under review as the regulations covering immigration and visas have been changed. In the meantime, please visit the Department of Home Affairs at www.dha.gov.za for more information.
This information is a guide only. Requirements for immigration to South Africa are subject to change, and each application is treated as an individual case. Always make enquiries before travelling to South Africa.
Where can I make enquiries about immigration?
See Department of Home Affairs website for information on permanent residence permits.
Find out where to apply in your own country from this list of South African offices abroad.
South Africa's immigration policy is embodied in the Immigration Act, which prescribes the requirements which are to be met by an applicant who wishes to immigrate to the country permanently.
Who can immigrate to South Africa?
South African immigration law aims to protect the health and security of South Africans, as well as their rights to employment opportunities in the country.
South Africa has a vast reserve of unskilled and semi-skilled workers. Generally, a prospective immigrant to South Africa should not follow an occupation for which there are already sufficient people available to meet the country's needs. Unskilled and semi-skilled workers, in particular, will not usually be accepted as immigrant workers in South Africa.
Conversely, immigrants who are in a position to contribute to the broadening of South Africa's economic base will be welcomed. Applications by skilled workers in occupations for which there is a shortage in the country are encouraged – particularly applications by industrialists and other entrepreneurs who wish to relocate their existing businesses or establish new concerns in South Africa.
What are the requirements for immigration?
Because of the need to create job opportunities for South African workers, prospective immigrants should be seriously committed to investing their assets, skills and experience for the benefit of themselves and the people of South Africa.
If you wish to immigrate permanently to South Africa, you should be of "good and sound character" and not follow an occupation in which there are already sufficient people available to meet the country's needs.
All applications for permanent residence are considered individually on merit by an autonomous statutory body, the Immigrants Selection Board.
Direct residence (Section 26): This is issued to foreigners who have been on a work permit for five years and who have received a permanent offer of employment. In general, if a foreigner meets all the requirements, their spouse and children under 21 will likewise qualify for permanent residence.
All immigration applicants older than 21 must submit to a personal interview.
In general, you should apply for immigration to South Africa while in your country of residence, and await the outcome of your application before proceeding to South Africa. You should apply at your nearest South African office abroad.
Once you have been granted permanent residence, you need never to apply again. However, you must take up residence in South Africa within a year of being granted permanent residence.


This year's Tour de France started with a quick run of 188 km from Mont Saint Michel, ending at Utah Beach in Normandy. Mark Cavendish took stage one with panache, to take the opening stage and the yellow jersey. It has been one of his long standing ambitions to stand on the podium holding the little gold lion. Nicknamed the Manx Missile, this is his 27th stage win in the Tour.
One hundred-ninety eight riders began the tour which will take them through France to the Pyrenees and over to the Alps before ridings into Paris for the ritual ride in the heart of the city. When they finish three weeks from now, they will have pedalled 3519 km.
Alberto Contador, Tinkoff, crashed with about 80 km to the finish. He was making a tight right hand turn when he failed to notice a traffic island and brushed it. Several other riders crashed as well but Contador was the most injured. He finished the stage with a jersey that was mostly in tatters. He was quite bloodied but stated that nothing was broken and he would be carrying on.
There was another spectacular pile up with only about 100 metres to go. All of those riders finished the stage. If a rider crashes within the last three kilometres(usually), he will be awarded the same time as the group that he was riding with, but he must finish the stage.
Different coloured jerseys are worn by the competitors to denote top place in different categories. The TDF is a complicated race.
The wearers of the jerseys can change during the three week marathon. Points, jerseys and finishing all garner different amounts of money for the team.
Stage 2: Saint-Lo to Cherbourg-en-Cotentin, a distance of 183 km will test the legs with a steep uphill finish.
Champs d'Elysees turns into a racetrack tomorrow.
July 25, 2015: Chris Froome, Sky, takes top spot in this year's Tour de France. He was challenged but a combination of superb skills and a powerhouse team saw him dominate. He will also take the jersey for most points and for King of the Mountain points in addition to his yellow jersey.
Stage 20 ended on the legendary Alp d'Huez, a killer of a climb. There were only two climbs today, both of them classed HC. On the first climb of the day Froome was challenged. The high pace isolated the race winner and he was in trouble just before the apex. On the long descent, his teammates rejoined him and piloted him through the rest of the race until the upper reaches of the Alp d'Huez.
The French were stars today. Alexander Geniez, FDJ, rode off the front for most of the stage until being overtaken by his teammate Thibaut Pinot who claimed the stage win on the alp.
Canadians got to cheer their countryman, Ryder Hesjedal, Garmin, who made a late break and came in third after Movistar captain, Nairo Quintana.
The combination of Alejandro Valverde and Quintana made the day difficult for the Sky cohort.
Quintana rode away from the big GC contenders at the 5 km to go mark and was never caught by Froome who crossed the finish today 1'20" behind Quintana.
It is traditional that the GC riders do not attack each other on the 21st day. The sprinters will be fighting it out for the stage victory in Paris.
Quintana will be taking the white, best young rider, second place on the podium and the yellow helmet for his part in the best team competition.
In order to claim the final prizes, the riders must complete the ride tomorrow.
The grande finale is a flat stage for the sprinters from Sevres to Paris with the dramatic circuit on the Champs d'Elysees.

// 'bar', 'foo-bar', './foo', './foo-bar'
// against the framework module, and then the callingcode module

fm.use('bar')
```

# Install

```bash
npm install use-plugin
```

There's an [npm module page for use-plugin](https://www.npmjs.org/package/use-plugin).

# Usage

The module provides a builder function that you call with your desired options.
In particular, you should always set your module, as above.

The builder function returns a plugin loader function that you can use
inside your framework.  Calling the loader function returns an object
with properties that describe the plugin.

In particular, the point of this module is to resolve (via require),
the init function of the plugin, so that you can call it in your
framework.

Plugins can be loaded in the following ways:

   * By name: `fm.use('bar')`
   * By name with options: `fm.use('bar', {color:'red'})`
   * As a function: `fm.use(function(){...})`
   * As a named function: `fm.use(function bar(){...})`
   * As a (named) function with options: `fm.use(function bar(){...}, {color:'red'})`
   * As an object: `fm.use({name:'bar', init:function(){...}})`
   * As a _require_: `fm.use( require('./bar.js' ) )`

When loaded as an Object, you must provide at least the _name_ and
_init_ function. When loaded as a _require_ note that the returned
value can be any of string, function or object, to which the same
rules apply. In particular, you need to explicitly provide a _name_
property if you want an explicit name.

# Plugin Name Resolution

The name of the plugin is determined by the following procedure:

   * Plugin specified as string: the given string.
   * Plugin specified as function: the Function object name, otherwise generate a name.
   * Plugin specifed as object: the _name_ property (which is required)

The plugin may also have a _tag_. This is a separate string that
allows multiple plugins with the same name to be loaded, depending on
your use-case. To provide a tag, use the name format: _name$tag_, or
provide a _tag_ property on the plugin object or function specification.

# Options

When calling the builder function, you can pass:

   * _module_: The _module_ variable of your framework.
   * _prefix_: An optional prefix for plugin names. Aallows your users to drop the prefix and use abbreviated plugin names.
   * _builtin_: Load builtin plugins first from this sub-folder of your framework.
   * _errmsgprefix_: Prefix string for error messages.

# Plugin Description Object

If found, an object is returned describing your plugin:

   * _name_ : The resolved name of the plugin.
   * _tag_ : The resolved tag of the plugin.
   * _init_ : The resolved initialization function of the plugin.
   * _options_ : Any user-supplied plugin options provided as the second parameter to the created _use_ function.
   * _callback_ : Optional user-supplied callback provided as the third parameter to the created _use_ function. You'll have to call this yourself.
   * _history_ : The actual _require_ search history. Array of _{module:module-path, name:require-path}_.
   * _search_ : The _require_ paths to search for.
   * _modulepath_ : Module path where found.
   * _requirepath_ : Require path where found.
   * _err_ : Error object, if any.
   * _found_ : Internal search entry details.

Meditations on reading the transcript of Donald John Trump's meeting with the Washington Post
By davenoon
Donald Trump is that kid who shows up in your basement and wants to play your electric guitar even though he doesn't know a single chord. He insists that he's awesome and can totally rock out better than anyone ever, "better than Jimmy Hendrix, even" — and when he says the name you know he's thinking "Jimmy" and not "Jimi," because that's how goddamn dumb he is. But he won't shut up about your guitar — seriously, he goes on about it for, like, two hours.
Finally, you roll your eyes and placate the mulleted intruder, because he's eating all your cereal right out of the box with his gross little hands, and you have no idea where they've been (but really you do, you just can't think about it anymore), and you realize it's only a matter of time before he gets bored and tries to fuck your sister again or your mom or something worse. So you give him the guitar, show him a couple of power chords, and tell him to "take it easy" as you plug him into the amp.
He ignores you, of course, and attacks the guitar like it owes him $20 and a handjob. The breakfast sausages that pass for fingers bend the strings unreasonably, and he's got that white guy Blues Face going on, and his hair is bobbing like a worn 7-11 mop, and you can't even look because you're suddenly embarrassed for the entire human race. Meanwhile, your amp is spitting out black clots of noise that sound like what self-loathing would sound like, or like the audio track to a crush fetish video. You don't know it yet, but upstairs, your dog is shitting on the kitchen floor.
Trump, the stupid dicknose, actually does a windmill and totally misses the strings, and the pick goes flying across the room, but he's like, "Nah, fuck it, I meant to do that," so he drops down to his knees and shoves his fist in the air and screams "Yeah!" like he's that guy from Metallica and not the absolute worst person in the world at that moment and most moments bracketing either end of that moment. The feedback scrapes the basement walls for another ten seconds or so, and upstairs, another dog turd drops.
Trump stands up as you're reaching for the bleach bottle, swoops his pig knuckles through his hair, and grunts, "Heh. Fucking awesome, I've gotta get one of these," as you drop the cap and take your first swig.

And no fucking way is he gonna let you play it, even after you sit there listening to him for two hours.

ah, the genesis of Marvin
Alex.S
Is this the thread for posting random snippets of the transcript? Because that seems like "fun". Or a cure for sanity.
For example-
HIATT: This theory of unpredictability, I want to push a little bit, I mean – there are many people who think that North Korea invaded South Korea precisely because Acheson wasn't clear that we would defend South Korea. So I'm curious, does ambiguity sometimes have dangers?
TRUMP: Well I'll give you, I'll give you an example. President Obama, when he left Iraq, gave a specific date – we're going to be out. I thought that was a terrible thing to do. And the enemy pulled back, because they don't want die. Despite what you read, you know, they don't want to die — and they just pulled back, and after we left, all hell broke out, right? And I'll give you another example that I think was terrible: when they sent, a few months ago, they sent fifty troops in. You know, fifty elite troops. Now, why do we have to have a news conference to announce that we're sending fifty troops? So those troops now have targets on their back. And…you shouldn't do it. We're so predictable: "Ladies and gentlemen, we're sending fifty troops into Iraq or Syria. And these are our elite troops. And they're going to do this and that and that and this." And those troops now are being hunted. If you didn't send them, they wouldn't – if you didn't say that, they wouldn't know. I mean, there are times when you just can't be… You talk too much. We talk too much. I guess they thought that was good politically, to say we're sending fifty troops? I don't think it was good.
It's noticeable in the interview that whenever Trump is asked a foreign policy question, he pivots to a completely different answer.
On foreign policy, he bounces from NATO to China to Iraq, with the only consistency being that he doesn't answer the question being asked.
CaptainBringdown
RYAN: You [MUFFLED] mentioned a few minutes earlier here that you would knock ISIS. You've mentioned it many times. You've also mentioned the risk of putting American troop in a danger area. If you could substantially reduce the risk of harm to ground troops, would you use a battlefield nuclear weapon to take out ISIS?
TRUMP: I don't want to use, I don't want to start the process of nuclear. Remember the one thing that everybody has said, I'm a counterpuncher. Rubio hit me. Bush hit me. When I said low energy, he's a low-energy individual, he hit me first. I spent, by the way he spent 18 million dollars' worth of negative ads on me. That's putting [MUFFLED]…
RYAN: This is about ISIS. You would not use a tactical nuclear weapon against ISIS?
[CROSSTALK]
TRUMP: I'll tell you one thing, this is a very good looking group of people here. Could I just go around so I know who the hell I'm talking to?

Yes, Jimi had huge hands. Watching him on video, I am struck by how casual his playing looks, while in fact it is perfect.
Now I gotta go play my guitar. Gardening will have to wait.
So basically he's a dickish kid (usually the offspring of a dickish parent) that your parents directed you to be nice to because…….
And his dickishness challenges the parental directive at every opportunity…
And then your mother tells you that it's not the dicky kid's fault "how could he be any different," between arranging a trip to the dentist to get the damage from clenching her teeth fixed, and your father complains that she made him put up with them…..
This is why there needs to be more noon posts.
yeah, I feel kind of bummed that I only get these very occasional flashes of lightning that you longer-term people got on a regular basis
Man, I haven't heard "dicknose" in a good quarter century.

Now that we can officially call it SPRING, I wanted to share an old favorite of mine. It's no surprise I love color so why not welcome in spring with bright pink and yellow hues? This luncheon tablescape is full of inspiration for bridal showers, baby showers, birthday parties, and lots of different celebrations. Read through my tips and details below to recreate the look. So usher in spring with blooms, a spring lunch, and lots of pink!
While I was recently browsing the aisles of a craft store, I came across corsage boxes in the wedding aisle. They were just simple plastic containers that closed at the top. Hello! Cute lunch boxes for outdoor parties! If you're worried about using breakable plates and china outside and are looking for an alternative to paper plates, these corsage boxes are fabulous when repurposed for lunch containers. I jazzed them up in a few steps!
Line plastic corsage boxes with fun parchment paper liners. I chose a yellow + white check.
Fill with a delicious lunch! Serve salads in clear plastic cups and cookies in cupcake liners.
Close box and tie with a yellow and white striped ribbon, flower detail, and simple white fork!
When looking for a tablecloth, skip the vinyl as it never looks fully smooth. Visit your fabric store and grab some simple cotton, iron, and it's ready to go! I chose a hot pink to usher in the cheery, spring season! The fabric is easily washable and reusable for parties to come. Keep your color scheme simple-two colors (pink and yellow) with touches of white.
A simple cake stand topped with a vase of pink peonies makes an easy centerpiece. Use extra greenery under the corsage boxes. Spring is all about the flowers so don't be afraid to let them shine!
My favorite detail from the party was the drink stirrers! Top a bamboo skewer with a silk flower (use hot glue to keep in place if necessary). Slide on berries for a delicious twist to your drink of choice!
Pick and choose from these simple party ideas to create a gorgeous and colorful spring party or recreate the look for your own celebration!
LOVE the drink stirrers! Thanks for the great ideas!
These colors are PERF. On point. Amazing.
Love the corsage boxes. Haven't seen that before.

Sainsburys used a 'slave costume' to sell DVDs of '12 Years A Slave'. Oh dear.
Sainsburys have issued an apology after furious customers complained about the shop's use of a 'slave costume' to sell DVDs.
A shocked shopper tweeted the first image of the mannequin alongside a tweet saying that it was "in very poor taste". The mannequin was dressed in black trousers and a beige shirt to mirror the outfit worn by Solomon Northup in the film, and had been placed next to a rack of DVDs.
Tweeters were not pleased that Sainsburys thought the costume was an appropriate way to promote a disturbing film about slavery, understandably. One tweeter asked: "How is this EVER ok? Appropriating black struggle as a look, nice #racism."
Luckily, Sainsburys responded reasonably quickly to the complaints. The mannequin has been removed from the store in Heyford Hill, Oxford, with Sainsburys stating that it "should have never gone up in the first place." They've also responded to every twitter complaint with an apology. Good.

Looking for life-rafts in cyberspace
THE oldies who refused to use automatic teller machines and personal computers could be having the last laugh nowadays.
The eager brains behind the computing culture once labelled as a "Luddite" anyone who dared to question their passion for technology, with the term inferring a primitive attitude and rejection of change.
The original Luddites in England in the 1800s went on rampages destroying machinery during the Industrial Revolution. But through the entire march of technology at least some fear and suspicion is justified.
As time has passed, technology has bred maybe millions of evil geniuses who devise schemes such as the latest fake ATM card reader to milk accounts, viruses that destroy the intellectual property of countless computer users and other scams, or 'techno-tricks'.
Add the crashes that turn the dreams of computing into nightmares and many must feel the world without computers wasn't so bad.
But there's no going back, and we can be grateful that at least on the PC front help is available from the Classifieds' Computer column, where Jenny and Peter Sharp, of A Class PC Service, Cleveland, are long-time regulars.
Peter started working on computers 20 years ago as a hobby. Friends turned to him to fix their breakdowns and about five years later he had a part-time business, which led to fulltime trading as A Class PC Service since January 1997.
Jenny, with a business degree specialising in information technology, worked in the IT sector and spent four years in management with an international software development company before she joined Peter full time in 2003.
"Within six months of this, we moved our business, originally from our home, to our current business premises at South Street – and we have not looked back since," Jenny says.
"In addition we now have two other technicians. Our business is built on a high level of service and honesty."
She says the couple has advertised each week in the Classifieds for almost 13 years."We always have a fantastic response rate with our local paper advertising, and find that around 30pc of all our new customers come from the local paper, around 30pc from customer referrals and the remainder from various other advertising sources," she says.
The firm has been busy helping victims of one of the latest techno-tricks, scareware, which Jenny says has been disrupting and even paralysing internet browsing. She will email a fact sheet on request (Jenny@aclasspc.com.au).

Seasonal variation in the incidence of spontaneous pneumothorax and its association with climate: A nationwide population-based study
Chao Hung Chen, Yu Ru Kou, Chin Shyan Chen, Herng Ching Lin
Background and objective: While links between meteorological conditions and the incidence of spontaneous pneumothorax (SP) have been postulated, the findings are controversial. In this first large-scale, nationwide, population-based study, seasonal variation in the incidence of SP among young adults aged 15-44 years was investigated, in order to identify possible associations with meteorological parameters (rainfall, ambient temperature, relative humidity, atmospheric pressure, hours of sunshine) in a subtropical Asian climate. Methods: Data (2001-2005) from the National Health Insurance Research Database were used to identify a total of 8575 patients who had been hospitalized with a principal diagnosis of SP. The autoregressive integrated moving average method was used to evaluate the effects of seasonality and monthly climatic factors on the incidence of SP. Results: The incidence of SP was not significantly associated with either particular months of the year or seasons. After adjusting for seasonality, month and time trends, relative humidity was positively associated with the monthly incidence of SP among men, while ambient temperature and rainfall were significantly associated with SP events among women. However, changes in monthly atmospheric pressure did not appear to influence the monthly risk of SP. Conclusions: These results do not support the premise that seasonal factors are involved in precipitating SP, although certain climatic parameters showed weak associations with the incidence of SP. Future studies should investigate other combinations of weather phenomena and potential triggering factors, in order to shed light on the occurrence of SP in various regions and climatic conditions, and among both men and women.

«Уэстерн Форс» ( — «западная сила») — австралийский регбийный клуб, выступающий в чемпионате . Команда выступала в сильнейшем чемпионате Южного полушария — Супер Регби — с сезона 2006 года и в дебютном розыгрыше выиграла всего один матч. Через год команда стала седьмой, а в 2008 году игроки «Форс» финишировали на восьмом месте. Клуб, представляющий Западную Австралию, стал четвёртой командой страны в турнире. В первых пяти сезонах с регбистам работал тренер Джон Митчелл, выполнявший аналогичные функции и в сборной Новой Зеландии.

В 2017 году руководство SANZAAR и ARU исключило «Уэстерн Форс» из Супер Регби, нанеся серьёзный удар по самолюбию клуба. Во избежание потери игровой практики руководство клуба организовало чемпионат , розыгрыш которого начался в 2018 году.

История

Заявка
Проект «Форс» появился в начале 2000-х годов. В 2002 году была сформирована рабочая группа, которая наблюдала за процессом развития проекта. Специалисты должны были удостовериться, что регбийные институты Западной Австралии подготовят инфраструктуру, если руководство SANZAR примет решение о запуске четвёртой австралийской команды. Регбийный союз Западной Австралии получил разрешение на формальное составление заявки, которая впоследствии была одобрена властями штата. Правительство предоставило ссудило союзу один миллион долларов на развитие команды, а также выделило 25 миллионов на обновление арены «Перт Овал» (другие названия — «Мемберс Экуити Стэдиум», nib Stadium). В декабре 2004 года стало известно, что заявка Западной Австралии оказалась сильнее, нежели проект штата Виктория.

Первый сезон
10 февраля клуб дебютировал в чемпионате, сыграв с «Брамбиз» на почти заполненном «Субиако Овал» в Перте. Команда проиграла со счётом 10:25, и в следующих турах ситуация стала ещё более сложной. Во втором и третьем турах «Форс» однозначно уступили «Харрикейнз» и без каких-либо шансов проиграли в домашнем матче «Чифс». Многие болельщики были разочарованы стартом команды, и за игрой с «Буллз» наблюдали всего около 23 тысяч любителей игры. 31 марта, в присутствии 24 тысяч зрителей, команда максимально приблизилась к первой победе, но всё же проиргала «Стормерз» с разницей в одно очко (25:26). Тот домашний матч игроки «Форс» начали оптимистично, и в начале игры вели со счётом 10:0. Тем не менее, на незначительное отставание в счёте команда получила первое турнирное очко. Австралийская команда ожидала первого балла дольше, чем какой-либо другой участник чемпионата: для того, чтобы открыть счёт, «Форс» потребовалось 8 раундов (7 матчей).

21 апреля команда сыграла вничью (23:23) с действующим чемпионом, ещё не проигрывавшим в сезоне, — «Крусейдерс». На стадионе присутствовал 32 231 зритель. После нескольких минут игры австралийцы вели в счёте (7:0), затем новозеландцы сократили разрыв (7:5). Подобная разница ставила под сомнение какой-либо успех «Форс» в матче, однако затем игроки команды—аутсайдера резко вырвались вперёд (17:5). К перерыву команда вела со счётом 20:8, но всё же новичкам чемпионата не хватило опыта для того, чтобы удержать требуемый результат. «Крестоносцы» провели две попытки и реализовали пенальти, сравняв счёт. На последних секундах игры австралийцы пересекли зачётную линию соперника, но телевизионный инспектор матча отменил это результативное действие.

Два дня спустя команда подписала восходящую звезду «Брамбиз» Мэтта Жито. Игрок, чей контракт с «лошадьми» истёк после сезона-2006, подписал трёхлетний договор с «Форс». Сообщалось, что по условиям контракта игрок получит 4,5 млн. австралийских долларов, что сделало бы его самым высокооплачиваемым игроком в истории всех австралийских лиг во всех видах спорта, произошедших от футбола.

6 мая команда объявила о присоединении к клубу ещё одного игрока, Дрю Митчелла из «Редс». В этот день команда одержала первую и, как оказалось, единственную победу в сезоне: австралийцы обыграли другого новичка — «Сентрал Читаз» — со счётом 16:14. На той же неделе клуб был оштрафован на 110 тысяч долларов за то, что представители «Форс» нарушили порядок проведения переговоров, с нарушением начав обсуждение условий контракта игрока Эла Канаара.

Глобал Рапид Регби
SANZAAR в 2018 году сократила число участников Супер Регби: среди вылетевших оттуда стал и «Уэстерн Форс», который в августе 2017 года Австралийский регбийный союз (ныне ) постановил исключить из розыгрыша. Пертский бизнесмен Эндрю Форрест, владелец «Форс», был очень недоволен решением, однако решил сохранить игровую практику для своей команды, учредив чемпионат Индо-Тихоокеанской области, куда были бы заявлены несколько команд. В сезоне 2018 состоялась Мировая серия регби из семи показательных матчей, в которой выступили сборные Гонконга, Самоа и Тонга, а также клубы «Крусейдерс», «Мельбурн Ребелс», «Панасоник Уайлд Найтс» и вторая сборная Фиджи («Фиджи Уорриорз»). Следующий розыгрыш состоялся через год с участием четырёх клубов.

Бренд
Представление бренда и логотипа публике состоялось 19 апреля в Burswood International Resort (Перт). Название команды стало продуктом долгой работы с регбийным сообществом Западной Австралии. По мнению авторов концепции клуба, избранный вариант отражал как географическую принадлежность команды, так и категории «силы, энергии и атмосферы сообщества». На логотипе изображён чёрный лебедь, являющийся одним из символов штата. Ниже присутствует надпись Western Force в оранжевом цвете. Ранее на эмблеме клуба присутствовали синий и золотой цвета, символизировавшие небо, побережье и пляжи, солнечный свет соответственно.

В июле состоялась презентация игровой формы клуба. В качестве модели выступил Брендан Кэннон, облачённый в синюю регбийку с изображением чёрного лебедя. Лэклан Маккей представил гостям запасной комплект формы, включавший золотую регбийку с лебедем. Чёрный и золотой являются традиционными спортивными цветами Западной Австралии. Оба комплекта были проданы с аукциона. Цена каждого набора составила 30 тысяч долларов.

Стадион
В прошлом команда проводила все домашние матчи на арене «Субиако Овал». Стадион, выполненный в овальной форме для игры в австралийский футбол, способен вместить 43 500 зрителей.

В феврале 2008 года Правительство штата сообщило о планах построить новую многофункциональную арену в районе Kitchener Park, неподалёку от «Субиако». Предполагалось, что стадион будет строиться в 2011—2016 годах, при этом большая часть работ будет завершена в 2014 году. В проекте была заявлена шестидесятитысячная вместимость. Объект должен был использоваться как для матчей австралийского футбола, так и для домашних игр «Форс». Следовательно, конструкция арены предусматривает использование полей как овальной, так и прямоугольной формы.

Однако проигрыш кабинета лейбористов в 2008 году стал причиной отмены проекта. Вместо этого клуб занял стадион «Перт Овал», способный принять 18 тысяч болельщиков. Команда играет на «Овале» с 2010 года. Причиной переезда стал тот факт, что трибуны «Субиако» предназначены в первую очередь для наблюдения за игрой в австралийский футбол, и боление на регбийных матчах затрудняется из-за плохой видимости на задних рядах. Представители «Форс» и футбольного клуба «Перт Глори» выступили за расширение трибун стадиона до 20 500 мест и модернизацию инфраструктуры арены. В результате «Форс» стали обладателями правительственного гранта, который должен быть использован для реконструкции.

В 2010—2011 годах правительство разрабатывало план реконструкции. Первая стадия работ была оценена в 88 миллионов долларов. Первый этап подразумевал сооружение новой постоянной восточной трибуны, установку новых осветительных приборов, двух экранов, светодиодных рекламных вывесок на уровне поля, замену покрытия и замену части южной трибуны. Затем в проект были добавлены 48 корпоративных лож и настил на 250 мест близ новой восточной трибуны, которые были оценены ещё в 7,14 миллиона.

В июне 2012 года тендер на реконструкцию выиграла компания BGC. 7 июня министр спорта и отдыха Терри Уолдрон сообщил, что план работ по южной трибуне изменился, и вместо подмостков там появится новая постоянная конструкция. Работы начались в июле, и предполагается что план будет осуществлён в марте 2013 года.

«Уэстерн Форс Голд»

«Уэстерн Форс Голд» — команда, представляющая штат в играх, которые проходят по окончании сезона в Супер Регби. Регбисты «Голд» играли со сборной Самоа, южноафриканскими командами «Блю Буллз» и «Голден Лайонз». Кроме того, австралийцы провели матчи с японскими командами «Тосиба» и «Ямаха». Сборную Сингапура игроки «Голд» разгромили со счётом 113:7.

A position exists, for a Research Assistant/Associate in the Department of Engineering, to work on the EPSRC funded project "Achieving Urban flood resilience in an uncertain future", which will be delivered by a consortium of 9 UK Universities.
The post holder will be located in Central Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, UK.
The Cambridge University researcher will lead the development of a GIS-based tool to support comparative evaluation of the costs and benefits of alternative Urban Flood Risk Management solutions and will examine the potential for integrated "Blue/Green" and "Grey" systems to deliver affordable urban flood resilience and capture the resource potential of urban stormwater, using techniques such as a real options appraisal. The work will focus on Case Study locations in Newcastle and Ebbsfleet to apply the techniques developed.
The key responsibilities and duties are to examine a wider typology of urban stormwater reuse to establish how stormwater resources can be cascaded through the urban system, leading to practical solutions for stormwater recovery, recycling and reuse and to develop a real options appraisal to determine location specific mixes of "blue green" and "grey" assets for the management of urban flooding. The successful applicant will attend quarterly project steering meetings and Local Action Alliance meetings and present results of the scientific research at international conferences and local and national stakeholders.
The skills, qualifications and experience required to perform the role are having obtained or is close to obtaining a PhD in an Engineering or related scientific discipline (eg Maths, Geography) and knowledge of UK urban water management practice. Experience of using GIS tools will be an advantage.
Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 36 months in the first instance.

The Manistee North Pierhead Light is a tapering steel cylindrical tower, 38 feet tall with a nine sided eight foot lantern atop that was constructed on the north pier in 1927. The light is atop a U.S. Corps of Engineers 1,300 foot concrete pier approximately a quarter mile from the shoreline. The pier originates on the shoreline immediately adjacent to a public parking lot reached by Fifth Avenue and Lakeshore Drive. The U.S. Coast Guard Station is adjacent to the public parking lot. The adjacent shoreline is a municipal beach (Fifth Avenue Beach) and park.
The Manistee North Pierhead Light is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places. The Lighthouse has one of the four remaining catwalks on Lake Michigan. This catwalk is already owned and maintained by the City of Manistee. This preservation effort began in 1990. Due to safety concerns the Catwalk is not accessible to the public.The Manistee North Pierhead Light is on the National Register period of significance has been determined to be Ca. 1925-1940. This is the sixth structure in a 58 year period of continual modernization of the Manistee Lighthouse.
On June 30, 2011 the Manistee North Pierhead Light was transferred from the Department of the Interior to the City of Manistee and the Manistee County Historical Museum in a ceremony at Fifth Avenue Beach. In November 2009, the City of Manistee made application to the United States Department of the Interior National Park Service to transfer the decommissioned lighthouse to the City. A component of the application was a Concession Agreement with the Manistee County Historical Museum. The Museum will act as stewards for the Lighthouse and will be in charge of the Restoration Project.
The summer of 2016 saw the Manistee North Pierhead Lighthouse painted with a new sheen of white paint where it will continue to be a beacon for vessels in and out of the harbor as well as for residents and visitors of the City of Manistee. Currently, we are collecting donations for the painting of the interior of the lighthouse.
Please help us preserve the lighthouse! The museum is a 501(c)(3) and all donations to the lighthouse are tax deductible. You can click the DONATE button below or send a check or money order to:
Please note in the memo that the check or money order is for the "Lighthouse".
The museum also stamps U.S. Lighthouse Passports with a Manistee North Pierhead Lighthouse stamp. For more information please contact the museum.
