Corporations: Pros and Cons
If you are thinking of starting a new business and are considering forming a corporation, it is important that you consider both the pros and cons of a corporation as a business entity. On the plus side, a corporation is a legal entity in itself with its own taxation, liability and the ability to exist in perpetuity. On the negative side, however, there are strict rules on how a corporation should be formed and function and your income from a corporation would be subject to double taxation.
What Is a Corporation?
Simply speaking, a corporation is a business entity that is independent of its owners, that is a corporation in legal terms is its own person and does not pass on either its taxes on income or its liability to its owners. A corporation is also a legal entity that sells parts of itself to its owner through stocks or shares for the contribution of the current share price of that stock.
A corporation and its management have what is called a "Fiduciary responsibility", that is the corporation and its management must function for the best interest of its shareholders. In essence, a corporation whether public or private one is a group of people collectively acting as a single legal entity and its primary goal is to get the highest net return for its investors or shareholders.
Let's now discuss some of the advantages of having a corporation.
Talk to a Corporation lawyer
Pros of a Corporation:
Limited Liability:
One of the best features any legal business entity can offer is the limited liability for its owners, which in terms of a corporation happen to be its shareholders. In a well-structured corporation, shareholders cannot be held personally liable for the debts or other legal obligations of the corporation. This prohibits creditors from being able to pursue the personal assets of owners, or in the case of a corporation, its shareholders for the relief of corporate debts.
As opposed to a corporation, in case of a sole proprietorship or partnership, the creditors can pursue relief against the owners' personal assets for debt borrowed by the business. However, since the corporation is considered its own person (or a legal entity in its own right) separating it from its owners. This separation, however, may not be true if that owner was a board member and also had the fiduciary responsibilities of the corporation, in some cases. Fiduciary responsibility opens ups board members in some cases to be held liable in case they are accused of failing to meet such responsibilities due to financial or other misappropriations. In such a case, board members can carry insurance to protect themselves against such exposure.
Flexible Taxation:
Depending on how you look, having to file taxes as an independent entity from its owners can be a real advantage for corporations. One of the biggest advantage that taxation provides to a corporation is its ability to shed capital losses. Unlike a sole proprietor, a corporation can carry back its losses for up to three years and carry them forward up to 15 years.
Because its management and board are often independent of the ownership and the fiduciary responsibility of its management exists with financial penalties, tax filings by a corporation are more trustworthy in the eyes of IRS and they are less frequently audited.
One of the greater tax advantages of a corporation is its ability to deduct 100% of its healthcare and life insurance and not being subjected to Social Security, workers compensation, and Medicare taxes; and the shareholder's ability to skip on paying self-employment taxes.
Perpetual Life:
Because of a corporation being an independent legal entity of its owners, a corporation, unlike a sole proprietorship or a partnership can continue to exist forever regardless of whether its owners are alive or dead. This provides much-needed credibility of investors for a business venture and attracts more investment and funding knowing that they are investing in an entity that is independent of who owns or runs it.
Transferability of Ownership:
Because for a corporation, the owner is not tied to its management and it is an independent legal entity, its ownership, that is its shares of stock are readily transferable from one investor to another. It must be noted that this is not true for all corporations. Recently formulated corporate bodies like the S corporation restricts the transfer of shares from one owner to another.
Ease of Raising Capital:
Because a corporation is its own legal entity, banks, investors and other sources of finance trust it to put the borrowed capital to good use and thus it is easier to raise capital or get investors to invest in a business venture that is a corporation.
Cons of a Corporation:
Double Taxation:
Although corporations are provided with lots of ways to deduct costs, losses and borrowing expenditure that are not easily deductible for a sole proprietorship or a partnership, it can't be argued that the income of a corporation is subjected to double taxation. What that means is that since a corporation is a legal person or entity in its own right, it is taxed independently first and then the shareholders that receive the income from owning the shares of a corporation are taxed again for the same income as their investment income.
This feature is applied in a different manner when it comes to different kinds of corporations, such as an S-corp or a C-corp. But the idea is the same that the price of having an independent legal entity is that the entity is taxed separately from its owners or shareholders.
There's a lot of Paperwork:
Since a corporation is its own legal entity in addition to being chartered by the state where it is located, a large amount of paperwork, reports, and filings are necessary both in the forming of a corporation and in running and maintaining it.
This includes not only additional reports and publicly disclosed facts about the inner workings and financial details but also regular filing of taxes and other regulatory reports on often a monthly or quarterly basis.
In addition to the regular filings, a corporation is also required to maintain things such as:
Business accounts that are distinct from personal accounts
Records of director and shareholders meetings
Adherence to Corporate Formalities and Functions:
Unlike a sole proprietorship, corporations are required to follow established formalities that vary from state to state where the corporation is chartered. This can impact the very existence of a corporation. You'll need to write bylaws for the corporation as well as keep corporate minutes. Corporations are also required to hold annual meetings of shareholders and directors and seek approval of the directors before taking the most significant actions.
In addition to that nominating and electing board members, not only holding them accountable for their fiduciary responsibility, but also insuring their actions against any legal actions arising from failure to do so and many other legal impediments and formalities that are not part of the day-to-day life of running a sole proprietorship or a partnership.
In conclusion, having a corporation and various hybrid forms of it such as an S-Corp or a C-Corp does have its share of advantages, but it can definitely have its drawbacks if the legal procedures and customs are not followed that are required for its existence by the state that charters the corporation.

Trump says 'no one loves Hispanics more.' Looks like unrequited love, according to polls.
Most surveys show at least 7-in-10 Latinos are not embracing the president with open arms.

By Carmen Sesin
President Donald Trump said "nobody loves Hispanics more" at a rally Monday in New Mexico, but his overtures to Latinos didn't get much of this electorate to swipe right in 2016 and polls suggest they won't again in 2020.
While the president assured the crowd that "we love our Hispanics," Latinos appear to be rejecting the "amor," according to polls taken in the last few months.
Seventy-three percent of Latinos nationwide plan to vote or are leaning toward voting for a Democrat in the 2020 presidential election, according to Univision poll released last week.
A Washington Post-ABC News poll, from this month indicates his approval rating among Hispanics is at 25 percent.
And 79 percent of Hispanics across the United States disapprove of the way Trump is handling his job as president, according to a Pew Research Center poll in August.
Will New Mexico Latinos love him back?
New Mexico is 49 percent Latino — the largest concentration of any state.
Trump would need about 40 percent of the Latino vote in New Mexico to win the state, said University of New Mexico political scientist Gabriel Sanchez, a principal at the polling firm Latino Decisions.
This is what Republican Susana Martínez received when she was elected the first Latina governor of the state in 2010.
Repeating that history in 2020 looks doubtful, Sanchez said.
"It would be a great showing for him if he got 25 percent of Hispanics," he said.
Trump's "most effective arguments for Latino voters are around the economy," said Sanchez, and Trump touted that on Monday night, saying unemployment was at a record low.
But he cautioned the president from getting too excited about New Mexico's Latino Trump supporters, who are very vocal and aggressive in their support, though they're still a minority, Sanchez said.
Trump: 'We love our Hispanics'
Sept. 17, 201901:51
New Mexico has a swath of conservative voters, including Latinos, according to Lonna Rae Atkeson, director for the Study of Voting, Elections, and Democracy at the University of New Mexico.
Hispanic voters are more conservative in the state, she said, but she found it hard to imagine the president picking up many "committed" Democratic partisans.
"You would have to pick up all the independent vote and some of the Democratic vote, and it's just hard to imagine that happening," she said. Trump has the most support in the southern part of the state, but "I can't imagine him picking up Hispanic Democrats in northern New Mexico where they dominate."
Drugs, walls, Cubans and Venezuelans
Trump told Hispanics at the rally they should support him and his efforts to build a border wall — which he thinks Latinos will love — because when it comes to the drug crisis, "Hispanics know it better than anybody."
Trump also bragged during his speech about his Latino support in Florida. "The Venezuelans and the Cubans, they're all for Trump."
Cuban American voters have been more reliably Republican than other groups, but that has been changing in recent elections. During the 2018 midterms, two predominantly Latino congressional districts in South Florida went from Republican to Democrat. Former Rep. Carlos Curbelo, a Republican Cuban American, lost his seat in Congress and voters ushered in an Ecuadorian American Democrat, Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, sending the first South American to Congress.

According to a recent poll by Equis Labs, a newly formed progressive group, about half of Florida Latinos support a Democrat, a third would re-elect Trump and about 14 percent would back another party candidate or are undecided.
The president and his administration have garnered support from Venezuelans over his stepped-up measures and sanctions against Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro. In response, Democrats have stepped up their hard-line rhetoric against Maduro and are criticizing the Trump administration for not granting Temporary Protected Status to Venezuelans in the U.S.
But Trump has garnered strong criticism over his rhetoric and policies around immigration — most notably his separation of children from parents and his restrictive migration and asylum policies — as well as his comments about Puerto Rico in the aftermath of Hurricane Maria.
In national polls such as Pew Research, a majority of Latinos said they felt less secure with Trump as president. In the recent Univision poll, almost 7-in-10 Latino registered voters agreed with the statement that the El Paso shooter was influenced by Trump's anti-immigrant rhetoric.
"Trump asks, 'Who do you like more, the country or the Hispanics?'" This is meant to make people see Latinos are different from them," said comedian Cristela Alonzo on Twitter. "We are not."

Totologic: Doraemon into Unity3D !
Do you know Doraemon ?
If yes, maybe you will be happy to now that I did a little demo playable online here !
So what are the features of this demo ?
First, I used Unity3D (free version). If you don't know what is Unity3D, you can imagine it as a mix between Flash and 3D studio Max. Because the software is fully 3D oriented, you could ask me the question : why use it to do 2D content ??? Then I would answer that Unity is so powerful ! Fully hardware accelerated, can target a lot of plateforms (Win, Mac, web, Android...) and is delivered with the sophisticated NVIDIA PhysiX engine.
So the challenge here was to build a 2D engine from a 3D engine, and I must admit that with some perseverance, the result is quite good ! But it was not an easy task to keep control of the engine while contraigning it in 2D and keeping the essential liveliness for a 2D game.
Second, I built my own graphicals assets. For the Doraemon animations, I picked some episodes and captured some interesting animation sequences (idle, run, jump and fall). Then I redrawn each images of the sequences into Flash, exporting them using the "Generate sprite sheet" tool. Finally, I wrote my own C# classes in order to replay my Flash animations into Unity.
I want to download your demo project. can you give me? and what is "flash"? A software? Where to download it????
But the swing at the end of level interacts counter-intuitively: when moving left on it, I'd expect the swing to go right: we're exerting a force to the right on the swing so that we can move to the left. Was this intentional? Or a by-product from using physics in Unity?

Old Trafford Return: Van Persie Looks To Shine In Europa League Clash, Says Ferguson's Retirement Forced His Exit
By Harshwardhan Sinh Waghela
Former Manchester United striker, Robin Van Persie is determined to make his return to Old Trafford when the Premier league side lock horns with Fenerbahce in the Europa league. The Dutch has emphasized the impact of Sir Alex Ferguson during his time at the club where he tasted league success in his debut season.
The striker has also stated that things would have been different if the legendary manager would have been in charge and not left. But not everything happens as planned and thought in football world said the striker.
"We will never know," he told reporters when asked what would have happened had Ferguson stayed."It could have been that I could have been a player for Manchester United today."
"When I signed that was the idea, that Sir Alex would stay on for a few more years, but in football things change, you can't plan your own path or your coach's path."
"Things develop, things change positively and negatively. In this world you have to deal with how it comes and that is what I did."
He added: "What happened, happened. I don't think you have to make it bigger than it is."
"You shake hands and move on to the next chapter. I'm not that romantic, thinking, 'that was the moment.'"I have to find the right balance of having fun, enjoying the moment of being back here and doing my work."
"I have to try and do my best for Fenerbahce. I have to give my all."
Van Persie has been famous in Turkey for grabbing headlines after missing training sessions and unable to communicate with current manager, Vitor Pereira. But the player has been a regular from September in training and is looking in shape and form.
Hasan Cetinkaya, Fener's executive director, explained: "Van Persie could not get himself going after the injuries he suffered because of the traumas he had been through after them but he is working a lot. He is a player with a strong character and he is putting in a lot of effort to get over these traumas."
And when asked whether Van Persie's improved attitude might be related to the meeting with his former club, Manchester United, at Old Trafford on Thursday, Cetinkaya admitted: "Maybe it is. For him, the Premier League and England is really important. Maybe he wants to be there in his best form but he also wants to give his best all the time."

D16 Group Phoscyon - Superbly versatile and accurate tb303 plugin synth with additional features.
Today I got a new email from the D16 Group informing us about their forthcoming release of a mouthwateringly good looking TR909 clone drumbox.. wow!... Then I realised that we hadn't added a review of the PHOSCYON TB303 clone/synth that the D16 GROUP guys also make!... Oh man!... We've been so busy with site server related nonsense in the last year we totaly forgot, and the poor old PHOSCYON has been sitting in a VST plugins folder waiting for some more recent attention!
Ok, so I loaded up Cubase SX and spent an hour messing with PHOSCYON again... I'd spent more time with the plugin synth back when we received the review copy and it all came back to me fairly quickly as I revisited this superb plugin.
Now some say ACEEED will never die, they are probably right, it's a sound always in use in a variety of genres, and indeed, some people will be soley interested in the PHOSCYON's TB303 cloning ability. There are a few contenders around offering various levels of TB303 attainment, from freebies such as Creakbox which are very good, to other non-freeware's which set about 100% attempting to emulate a good ol' silver Bassline.
PHOSCYON is an odd one, it'll get you uncannily close to silver-box land, but offers a whole lot more in it's GUI interface for securing all sorts of groovy patterns & sounds in a variety of ways and lifts the unit off to beyond 303 world.
PHOSCYON offers 2 basic ways to do '303' stuff..
You can use the INTERNAL sequencer of PHOSCYON, clocked to the host sequencer such as Logic, Sonar or Cubase, and compose, save & load patterns to order... I'll call this method of working PATTERN TRIGGER MODE.
Working in this way one uses a combination of classic TB303 controls to create patterns... Stepping UP/DOWN the available 16 front-panel STEPS and inputting Notes or Rests as well as accent, slide and octave switches. Anyone who owned a 303 will find this easy, and noobs with some manual-reading and experimentation should get to grips with this easily too.
Now this does NOT mean PHOSCYON plays in the KEY of C1 or D1 or whatever note is triggering it, in this PATTERN TRIGGER MODE the note number used to trigger PHOSCYON simply relates to a pattern held in PHOSCYON's internal memory... So, working in that way, single note-presses on a master keyboard or drawn-in notes in a sequencer grid will trigger patterns within PHOSCYON as long as the note lasts while PHOSCYON clocks it's tempo to the host sequencer's internal clock... easy-peasy!.. and VERY effective.
In that PATTERN TRIGGER MODE you can specify how many STEPS individual patterns will have, and it clocks and plays along, allowing you to create 16 step, 12 step, 6 step, 3 step or whatever step patterns which cycle round in sync with the host sequencer clock and any other music you have playing along such as drums. You can also simply move the whole pattern UP/DOWN in key without having to copy the pattern to a new slot etc.
PHOSCYON can hold 128 patterns in these note 'slots' which is ALOT of patterns to play with without ever having to load new ones. You get a whole oad of patterns in the unit when it opens to get you going, and of course patterns can be saved to disk and loaded into whatever note 'SLOT' you like.. wonderful!
There's an arpeggiator onboard which is dead easy to use and has 2-octaves up & 1-octave down travel and even a selection of scale=mode types... Major, Minor, 7th, Minor-7th, Major-7, Major-7 Flat-5 and Diminished!.. Loverly!... Add to that the Arp Tempo Multiplier and you're in heaven for instant creation of a huge pallette of riffs and patterns... Use the Arpeggiator with either whole-bar single notes or with changing notes within a pattern for more variation. It's a great addition and a few little tweaks can yeild great patterns you probably wouldn't have thought of if trying to deliberately write something... Good for beginners and the experienced user!
The 6 additional controls act like a sort of mini customisable distortion unit, and a HUGE variety of overdrive characters can be coaxed from this silver wunderbox... from thin & screaming to hollow fat and dark... really, it's quite a phenomenal addition!
Further PHOSCYON additions to the classic 303 offers seperate or linkable Envelope Accent & Accent Volume controls plus Accent decay (very useful!) as well as a seperate Envelope Attack & Decay... The Resonanace control has a second additional pot called SWEEP TIME!... Nope, it's actualy nothing to do with The Sooty Show, in fact this extra control sort of add's a subtle adjustable attack-time to the Resonance. To the left next to the traditional Tuning control there's a control pot called SLIDE TIME which does as it suggests increasing/decreasing the overall SLIDE time of notes given a SLIDE setting. There is also a dedicated control called: STEP LENGTH... This one's very handy for making PHOSCYON sound less 303-ish... You can reduce the length of triggered notes allowing you to create very staccato notes when required or make them just that bit longer too!.... Finaly, to SAVE & LOAD your precious internal patterns, PHOSCYON uses it's own dedicated SAVE/LOAD protocol via the bottom-Left silver button, so one assumes that created patterns can be loaded regardless of which sequencer it was created in as the unit doesn't depend on using the host sequencer's SAVE/LOAD protocol for plugin patches.
All in all it's a great affordable addition to any computer music makers setup, and for the outlay offers very excellent 303 emulations but also so much more!... Old 'cheezy quavers' will get a kick out of making old-skool patterns in the trad' way as well as using the other fine front-panel additions, and noobs will be surprised by how easily they can fiddle with a few controls and suddenly create great sounding patterns using the arpeggiator. You can also use it just like any other regular plugin synth to play your standard note patterns.... Yup, The D16 GROUP PHOSCYON... It's like having a seriously modded custom 303 without the expense... and that distortion!... yummy... trust me!
There is no better choice than Phoscyon for easy and cheap VST 303 clone.
Even if some other brand can e more realistic, the Phoscyon got an original feeling, perfect for acid lines and experimental responses.
That the one i choose, first for the price and then for the good integration in DAW.
AudioRealism got a better product, closer to the original TB but Phoscyon rules in the Hi frequencies.
The internal distortion is great but for basslines, aditional overdrive is mandatory to sound harch.
The most grinded sound i eard for less than 50 euros.


Steven Johnson earns Eagle rank Steven Johnson , a member of Troop 398 sponsored by the La Cañada I Ward of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and a recent graduate of La Cañada High School, has achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. Johnson began scouting when he was in elementary school at Paradise Canyon Elementary. He has been an active scouter ever since. He particularly enjoyed back packing trips and summer camps at Catalina Island and the Sierras.
The La Cañada boys' junior varsity basketball team won both of its Rio Hondo League games last week. Last Friday's contest against host San Marino started off as a close match, but the Spartans pulled away for a 55-36 victory. Will Baldwin, Steven Johnson and Joe Robinson all put in strong performances. Points were also put on the boards by Peter Pereyra and Alex Martinian. On Feb.1, the Spartans took on the Vikings at Pasadena Blair. La Cañada won in a landslide, leaving little doubt as to whom the better team was. By the end of the third quarter, the Spartans had scored 77 points and were on a pace to score more than 100 points for the first time ever.
LC, Ren. players in area All-Star game La Cañada's star boys' basketball players, Will Baldwin and Steven Johnson, played at the Tribune Newspaper Group's All-Star Basketball Classic held at Azusa Pacific University over the weekend. With them went the Valley Sun's All-Area Player of the Year, Renaissance's Justin Cook. All three athletes played on the Pasadena Star News West team, coached by La Cañada head coach Tom Hofman. The game featured the 30 best boys' and girls' basketball players of all divisions and leagues.
Despite a tremendous effort to keep the contest close, the La Cañada boys' junior varsity basketball team fell to Pasadena, 50-38, in nonleague action last Friday. The Spartans traveled to West Ranch on Monday for a nonleague game, but results were not available at press time. La Cañada will participate in the Calabasas High Tournament next Monday through Thursday. Against the Bulldogs, the Spartans dropped another hard fought nail biter. Early in the first quarter, it appeared like the Spartans were going to be in for a long game, but a great display of ball handling by James Shimoda and Will Omakawa helped to contain Pasadena to just four points in the second quarter.
The Spartans have a habit of putting teams away early this season. Friday?s home game against San Marino was no different as La Cañada?s fast start was enough to handily beat the Titans, 57-38. It was the Spartan defense that allowed them to win handily, limiting San Marino to just six first quarter points and did not allow the Titans to convert a field goal for nearly 8 minutes. ?We?re a real good defensive team right now,? said Spartan head coach Tom Hoffman. ?We?re getting a lot better.
The La Cañada boys' junior varsity basketball team rebounded from a loss to host Temple City with a victory against visiting Monrovia last week in Rio Hondo League action. On Jan. 25, the Rams handed the Spartans a 65-59 heart wrenching loss. In the second quarter, when La Cañada was up by 22 points, the starters were about to come out when the momentum of the game began to shift in favor of Temple City. The Spartans began to struggle, but managed to hold on to their lead into the middle of the fourth quarter.
It was a rather peculiar ending to the La Cañada boys' junior varsity basketball team's Rio Hondo League season last week as the Spartans hosted both South Pasadena and Temple City, the league's two best teams besides La Cañada. The game against South Pasadena on Feb. 7 was a neck-and-neck battle that really came down to the last minutes of play when the Spartans started to pull ahead and finally won a close one, 59-51. Will Baldwin each scored 14 points apiece to lead the team.

Leftist opposition candidate Xiomara Castro has claimed victory in Honduras's presidential election, setting up a showdown with the National Party, which said its candidate had won the vote. "We win! We win!" Castro, Honduras's former first lady who is making her third presidential run, told cheering Liberty and Re-foundation party supporters on Sunday. "Today the people have made justice. We have reversed authoritarianism." Preliminary results released late on Sunday by the Electoral Council showed Castro with 53 per cent of the votes and the National Party's Nasry Asfura with 34 per cent, with 38 per cent of voting stations counted. The council said turnout was more than 68 per cent. Honduras's long-ruling National Party announced on its Twitter account that Asfura, the major of Tegucigalpa, had won. The competing claims of victory came just hours after the National Electoral Council reminded parties that such announcements were prohibited and violators would be fined. The claims raised fears of street protests and violence and some businesses on Tegucigalpa's main boulevard boarded over their windows as a precaution. The National Party's 12-year rule has been beset by graft scandals, chronic unemployment and waves of fleeing migrants. If she wins, Castro would become Honduras's first female president and her victory would mark the left's return to power for the first time since her husband, former president Manuel Zelaya, was deposed in a 2009 coup. She has gained favour from voters for her efforts to consolidate opposition to outgoing President Juan Orlando Hernandez, who has denied accusations of having ties to powerful gangs, among other corruption scandals.

Report finds workplaces much more laid back than previously
by Matt Dionne on December 19, 2019
According to a recent report, office workplaces are much more laid back than they used to be.
The report, conducted by Accountemps, found that 90 per cent of managers said workplaces were more relaxed than they were 10 years ago.
These "chill" work atmospheres have been attributed to more relaxed social norms, as well as businesses catering to younger professionals.
However, while many workplaces have become more lenient with how people conduct themselves, there are still many actions that people find unwelcome in the workplace.
The number one most unwelcome action in the workplace is cursing; 55 per cent of respondents said they don't believe cursing or using foul language has any place at the office.
Bringing an animal to work came in second, with 51 per cent of respondents saying their workplaces should be pet-free.
In third was displaying political decorations—47 per cent said this was not acceptable.
Additionally, 42 per cent said streaming political events was off-limits, and 22 per cent said even talking about it was unacceptable.
Tattoos, which were considered unacceptable in more than 80 per cent of workplaces, have become more acceptable, as a third of managers said they were accepting of employees having tattoos and non-traditional piercings.
"As workplaces evolve, many professionals are looking for greater flexibility from employers when it comes to their individual preferences at work," Koula Vasilopoulos, district president for Accountemps, said in a news release.
"How an organization's company culture is perceived can have an impact on the kinds of professionals it attracts, and ultimately retains. It's up to employers to set the tone for the environment they want to promote by creating clear guidelines around office etiquette and using their own behaviour to set an example," she continued.

O calendário islâmico, calendário muçulmano ou calendário hegírico é um calendário lunar composto por doze meses, de 29 ou 30 dias, ao longo de um ano com 354 ou 355 dias. A contagem do tempo deste calendário começa com a Hégira — a fuga de Maomé de Meca para Medina, em 16 de julho de 622. O mês começa quando primeiro crescente visível da Lua aparece pela primeira vez após o pôr-do-sol. Tem cerca de 11 dias a menos que o calendário solar.

Este calendário baseado no ano lunar não corresponde aos calendários do ano solar. Os meses islâmicos retrocedem a cada ano que passa em relação aos calendários baseados no ano solar, como o Calendário gregoriano, por exemplo. Uma vez que o calendário islâmico é cerca de 11 dias mais curto que o calendário solar, os feriados muçulmanos acabam por circular por todas as estações.

O atual ano islâmico é 1444 (correspondente, pelo calendário gregoriano, ao período de 30 de julho de 2022 a 18 de julho de 2023). Normalmente, a notação utilizada é 1444 AH, do latim Anno Hegirae ("Ano da Hégira"), copiando à notação cristã AD.

Anos
Os 12 meses do ano se alternam em durações de 29 e 30 dias. Dentro de um ciclo de 30 anos, 11 deles, os 1º, 5º, 7º, 10º, 13º, 16º, 18º, 21º, 24º, 26º e 29º, recebem um dia a mais (30 dias no último mês).  (o sétimo dia da semana islâmica), 16 de julho de 622 d.C. do Calendário Juliano, o dia da fuga Hégira de Maomé de Meca para Medina.

The Commission's proposal was issued on 27 November 2013. The Council reached its "general approach" (negotiating position) in July 2014, and the Parliament's civil liberties committee in February 2015. Secret trilogue negotiations between the Council, Parliament and Commission are close to completion, with the full Parliament (plenary session) expected to vote on a final text in March 2016.
"On 15 December 2015, during the 9th trilogue, the Presidency and representatives of the European Parliament reached agreement "ad referendum" on the final compromise text of the draft Directive. This text, which subsequently has undergone minor linguistic refinements, is set out in the Annex." The document contains the full text of the proposed compromise text and details of some substantive reservations made by Member States.
"Following the Working Party on 27 November, the Presidency had technical meetings with the European Parliament and with the Commission on 2 and 3 December. The Presidency also had some bilateral contacts with Member States, and had contacts with the Council Legal Service. "Various Member States also made very helpful comments on an informal draft of the Presidency. "In the light of these meetings, contacts and comments, the Presidency established the text as set out in the Annex. Subject to refinements by delegations at the Working Party on 8 December, the Presidency intends sending this text to the meeting of Coreper on 10 December. Coreper will be invited to agree to submitting this text as an overall compromise text to the European Parliament in view of the 9th trilogue on 15 December 2015 (Strasbourg)."
"At the fifth trilogue on 30 September, provisional agreement was reached on Articles 4 and 19. During earlier trilogues, provisional agreement was already reached on Articles 1, 3 and 13. "Subsequently to the fifth trilogue, the Presidency (PRES) had technical meetings with the European Parliament (EP) and the Commission (COM) on 9, 15 and 16 October. During these meetings Articles 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 11, 14, 15 and 16 were discussed, and new texts were proposed. "The Presidency (PRES) submits below these new texts for discussion/approval, with the comments set out under point B."
"The Presidency informed the Council about the state of play on the... Proposal for a Directive of the European Parliament and of the Council on procedural safeguards for children suspected or accused in criminal proceedings [First reading]".
Mainly censored. The only information available is that which is already public: the Commission's proposal, the Council's general approach and the Parliament's negotiating position.
Notes preparations for the Council meeting on 15 June 2015 and update on the state of play with the proposed Directive.
Minutes of a meeting of the Justice and Home Affairs Council: "The Council was informed about the state of play of a number of legislative proposals, including... the directive on procedural safeguards for children suspected or accused in criminal proceedings".
"The Presidency generally retains a positive impression of the two meetings, which were held in a very pleasant atmosphere. This being said, the pace of the meetings is rather low; the European Parliament clearly wants to take the negotiations regarding this Directive more slowly than the negotiations regarding the procedural rights Directives that were adopted in the recent years. It may therefore take more time before concrete results can be reported." The document contains a table containing the position of each EU institution on the text, with one column for observations from the Presidency and one containing "possible compromise" wording.
"The Presidency informed the meeting about progress and developments regarding... the proposal for a Directive on procedural safeguards for children suspected or accused in criminal proceedings."
"The rapporteur endorses the aims of the proposal and the general approach taken, as well as all the main provisions, the most important of which are: the mandatory right to be assisted by a lawyer, in close connection with the right to free legal aid; the right to an individual assessment; the rules on questioning; the provision for the child to take part in the proceedings; compulsory special training for judges, law enforcement authorities and prison staff, lawyers and others who come into contact with children in their work; the provisions on detention, under which children should be held on remand only where there is no alternative, and in such cases, it must be ensured that the children are held separately from adults, except where it is in their best interests not to do so. "The rapporteur is tabling a number of amendments, which seek almost exclusively to enhance, extend, strengthen or clarify the various rights set out in the Commission proposal."

Q: remove wordpress yoast seo plugin meta keywords from custom pages I have created a custom template page using WordPress Template redirect.
Now my problem is WP Yoast SEO Plugin is doing page analysis and placing meta tags with page not found values.
I want to disable WP Yoast SEO page analysis on my custom page. I tried to follow the API for this plugin in this link and used the following in my theme's functions.php but no luck
add_filter( 'wpseo_metakey', '__return_false' );

A: Try this:
add_filter( 'wpseo_metakeywords', '__return_false');

You can find a good overview here.


Based on the design by Matt Doughty/ L'amour Supreme and sculpted by George Gaspar, Pheyden is a neat little mini that should fit in with multiple minifigure collections. He's actually around 2 1/4 inches tall which makes him a little taller than the average minifigure from lines like OMFG, M.U.S.C.L.E., MWOTR, S.U.C.K.L.E., and Monster in My Pocket, but his design works as a taller, alien like creature. He also fits in great with SLUG Zombies. Remember, this is a solid PVC figure with no articulation.
Here's an image of the standard Pheyden from Onell Design's Glyos so you can see how Pheyden compares to this zombified version. The standard version of the character has an almost insect-like appearance to him, particularly due to his segmented armor, so the way Zombie Pheyden features some of those armored plates removed really helps to give the figure a creepy, deteriorating vibe. The left right side of his chest has some very cool visible alien musculature while the various armored panels on his legs, arms, and chest are covered with various scrapes and dings. Check out that head sculpt, too. The torn...flesh or whatever on his head is exposed to reveal his...brain? Seriously, I'm not an expert on alien physiology and biology, but I'm liking what I see.Especially his teeth, sunken eyes, and nostril slits.
Zombie Pheyden has a cool pose. It's basic enough that he's not going to be hard to stand up, but his outstretched left hand is cool and a nod to the traditional zombie "grab." He's also got an unusual weapon on his right hand that appears to be a weapon of some kind. Maybe a blaster arm or something?
Pheyden doesn't have any paintwork, but he is cast in the titular "Lucky Green." I love it! I've reviewed a few green figures lately, but I particularly like this color of green for a zombie like character. Once again, I'm not sure how intentional it is but I love how this guy can fit in pretty well with the SLUG Zombies. The colors are pretty close.
I'm always excited to get new minifigures and Lucky Green Zombie Pheyden is a great one. He's a fun sculpt in a nice color at a very low price ($2!); could you ask for anything more? October Toys really puts out some quality product (and is involved with a fantastic podcast as well) and Zombie Pheyden is no exception. I somehow missed him when he was first released as a Kickstarter bonus for certain pledge levels of OMFG! series 3 so I'm glad to see him offered again. No problems at all with this guy, so he's easily a Great release!


After doing this I click on close, nothing changes... the old problem persist and that problem is I can not have dictionary set to UK english. What to do?
You may find the HELP function (languages;spelling and formatting) and, of course the downloadable LibO Writer Manual (Chapter2 Setting up Writer) useful in setting up LibO.
I have the English / French and Spanish dictionaries installed on my Linux Mint 17 system with LibO 4.3 and 4.4. I have the default of English (UK) selected. Details may vary with Windows etc.
If I wish to change the language for a document, I choose TOOLS > OPTIONS > LANGUAGE SETTINGS and choose the language and select FOR THE CURRENT DOCUMENT ONLY. The dictionary I wish to select must already be available on the system.
If I wish to check spelling for a second language I choose TOOLS > LANGUAGES > and then choose SELECTION / PARAGRAPH / FOR ALL TEXT. For example FRENCH (SWITZERLAND) LibO can only check one language at a time.
how can I send a Libre Office document by email?

Q: Adding rounded corners globally to Entry controls in .NET MAUI In .NET MAUI, there's a nice way to handle styling of controls globally through the Styles.xaml file under Resources/Styles folder.

Here's the standard styling, out of the box, for Entry controls in a .NET MAUI app. Is there a way to add rounded corners to this here? I understand we now handle rounded corners through Border control. Could I define a border in Styles.xaml and then reference it in styles for Entry control?

L'Unterseeboot 99 (U-99) est un U-Boot (sous-marin) de type VII.B de la Kriegsmarine pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale.

Ce sous-marin détient le  palmarès de tous les U-Boote avec un total de  tonneaux de navires coulés (38 navires) et  tonneaux de navires endommagés.

Construction
Le U-99 est issu du programme 1937-1938 pour une nouvelle classe de sous-marins océaniques. Il est de type VII B lancé entre 1936 et 1940. Construit dans les chantiers de Friedrich Krupp Germaniawerft AG à Kiel, la quille du U-99 est posée le  et il est lancé le . L'U-99 entre en service un mois plus tard.

Historique
Mis en service le , l'U-99 sert initialement de navire-école pour son équipage, alors composé d'élèves sous-mariniers, au sein de la 7. Unterseebootsflottille à Kiel.
Le , l'U-99 et son équipage deviennent opérationnels, toujours dans la 7. Unterseebootsflottille, d'abord à Kiel, puis à la base sous-marine de Saint-Nazaire.

Il réalise sa première patrouille de guerre, quittant le port de Kiel, le , sous les ordres du Kapitänleutnant Otto Kretschmer. Après huit jours en mer, il arrive à Wilhelmshaven le .

L'Unterseeboot 99 a effectué huit patrouilles, pour un total de cent vingt-sept jours à la mer, durant lesquelles il a coulé trente-cinq navires marchands cumulant  tonneaux, trois navires de guerre auxiliaires totalisant  tonneaux, a endommagé cinq navires marchands pour  tonneaux, et a capturé un navire marchand de  tonneaux.

Le , entrant à Bergen pour une urgence médicale, l'U-99 navigue dans les traces du croiseur de bataille allemand Scharnhorst. Un hydravion de reconnaissance Arado Ar 196 confond l'U-Boot avec un sous-marin britannique et l'attaque, provoquant des dégâts qui forcent l'U-Boot à retourner en Allemagne pour réparations.

Deux jours plus tard, le , l'U-Boot naviguant vers Wilhelmshaven afin d'effectuer ces réparations est bombardé à deux reprises, cette fois par des avions ennemis lui infligeant seulement des dégâts mineurs.

Le , en plongée pour échapper à l'attaque d'un avion allemand lâchant trois bombes sur lui, l'U-99 subit des dommages légers en heurtant le fond
marin. Il poursuit sa patrouille après avoir réparé.

Le , à 14 heures 14 minutes, l'U-99 tente d'arrêter le navire marchand armé anglais Manistee avec ses armes de pont, après lui avoir lancé sans succès une torpille G7E à 14 heures 01 minutes. Le duel d'armes à feu n'est pas décisif ; l'U-99 rompt le combat lorsque des coups tombent à moins de  de lui.

Le , après une attaque réussie contre le convoi HX-53 au sud de Fastnet Rock, l'escorte du convoi lui lance un total de 107 grenades sous-marines pendant plus de quatorze heures, mais l'U-99 en sort indemne.

Le , à la suite d'une attaque réussie contre le convoi OB-191, l'escorte riposte en jettant vingt grenades sous-marines, mais l'U-99 s'échappe sans dégât. Dans la soirée, l'U-Boot fait surface pour attaquer de nouveau le convoi, étant par deux fois contraint de plonger, bombardé par un hydravion ennemi, de nouveau sans dommage.

Le , au cours d'un assaut aérien de nuit visant la base sous-marine de Lorient, deux bombes tombent près de l'U-Boot amarré ; des débris causent de légers dégâts au pont.

Pour sa huitième patrouille, l'U-99 quitte le port de Lorient le  pour l'ouest de la Manche toujours sous les ordres d'Otto Kretschmer. Après vingt-quatre jours en mer, couronnés par sept navires coulés, totalisant  tonneaux et d'un navire endommagé de  tonneaux, l'U-99 tire avec succès sa dernière torpille le  contre le navire marchand suédois Korshamn. Son officier de quart repère le destroyer HMS Walker le , au sud-est de l'Islande, à la position géographique approximative de . L'officier ordonne immédiatement la plongée, contrevenant ainsi aux ordres permanents de Kretschmer.

En plongée, l'U-Boot est rapidement repéré par l'ASDIC du destroyer et attaqué par les destroyers HMS Walker et HMS Vanoc au moyen de charges de profondeur. L'U-99 est entraîné en profondeur par la riposte, gravement endommagé. Otto Kretschmer n'a d'autre choix que de faire surface ; immédiatement un fort feu ennemi s'abat sur lui. Kretschmer envoie un message à , le capitaine du HMS Walker, "CAPTAIN TO CAPTAIN. I AM SUNKING [sic] PLEASE RESCUE MY CREW." (Capitaine à capitaine. Je coule. S'il vous plaît, sauvez mon équipage).

Kretschmer ordonne ensuite de saborder l'U-Boot ; la machine Enigma, ses codes et les documents secrets sont détruits. Quarante membres de l'équipage, y compris le commandant Otto Kretschmer, sont sauvés et recueillis par le HMS Walker, tandis que trois autres sous-mariniers, dont l'officier mécanicien, perdent la vie.

Les survivants deviennent des prisonniers de guerre. Le capitaine du HMS Walker, Macintyre, conserve les jumelles de Kretschmer comme trophée, jusqu'en 1955.

Le HMS Walker, chargé de ses prisonniers arrive à Liverpool le . Le lendemain, les survivants de l'U-99 sont transférés par chemin de fer à Londres pour y subir des interrogatoires. Plus tard, ils quittent la Grande-Bretagne pour le Pays de Galles dans les Monts Cambriens. Ils sont internés dans un camp de prisonniers de guerre. Otto Kretschmer est emprisonné au Canada.

Docent Talk: Berkeley Rep's White Noise
Join us for a docent talk about Berkeley Rep's production of White Noise by Suzan-Lori Parks.
Leo, Dawn, Ralph, and Misha are old friends. The two 30-something couples are educated, progressive, and cosmopolitan. But when a racially motivated incident with the police leaves Leo shaken, he makes a radical proposition to Ralph that forever alters the relationship between these four friends—and their view of the world.
Brave, intelligent, and eviscerating, White Noise by Pulitzer Prize winner Suzan-Lori Parks is one of the most talked about new plays tackling our rapidly unraveling social contract. We're proud to be the only regional theatre outside New York to present White Noise this year.

John Schlitt has been a member of:
The Union of Sinners and Saints
John William Schlitt is known for his career as the lead singer of Christian rock band Petra from 1986 until the band's retirement in late 2005. Prior to joining Petra in 1986, Schlitt was the vocalist for Head East.
John Schlitt was born in Lincoln, Illinois. Shortly after, his family moved to Mt. Pulaski where he grew up. Schlitt began singing and showing interest in music from a very young age. When he was 13 years old, he joined a band called Vinegar Hills Hometown Band Something Different. He went to Mt. Pulaski High School in his hometown graduating in 1968. It was during his high school years that he would meet future wife, Dorla Froelich.
After graduating from high school, Schlitt enrolled in the University of Illinois for a degree in Civil Engineering. However, his main interest was still music. In 1972, he joined the rock band Head East as lead singer with some fellow students of the university. Juggling his musical career and college studies, Schlitt finally graduated from college in 1974 and dedicated full-time to his career in music.
Head-East era and aftermath
During the following years with Head East, Schlitt enjoyed the success of the band that produced several hits during the 70s. They released together four studio and one live album. However, during the time, Schlitt also developed a dependency on cocaine and alcohol. His dependency reached a peak when he retired from the band in March 1980.
After leaving Head East, Schlitt formed a short-lived band, but it quickly vanished as his addiction intensified in a six-month depression during which he "came very close to suicide." During that same period, however, his wife became a born-again Christian, and subsequently convinced Schlitt to see her pastor. Schlitt confesses that he had already decided to end his life and complied only "so my wife would be able to say 'he tried' after I was gone".
However, Schlitt also became a born-again Christian and left his addiction to drugs and alcohol. Schlitt decided to leave the music scene and dedicate to his family. After that, he started working in a factory, and slowly rose until becoming a mining engineer and then a cost and scheduling engineer.
Petra era
Five years after leaving the music industry, John received a call from Bob Hartman and was invited to audition for Christian rock band, Petra. The band had just lost its lead singer Greg X. Volz, who had left to pursue a solo career. After a session with Hartman (band's co-founder and guitarist), he was asked to join the band. He sang his first show on February 3, 1986, beginning a career that would span nearly two decades. His first album with the band was the 1986 release Back to the Street.
During his career with Petra, the band released 2 RIAA certified Gold albums (Beyond Belief and Petra Praise: The Rock Cries Out) and earned 4 Grammy and numerous Dove Awards. His travels and performances with the group reached all 50 states of America as well as over 35 countries.
Solo career
During breaks from Petra, Schlitt recorded and released two solo albums: Shake in 1995, and Unfit For Swine in 1996. Both albums were moderately successful and received positive reviews.
After Petra's retirement in 2005, Schlitt and Petra guitarist and founder, Bob Hartman started working on an album together as II Guys From Petra. The album was released on January 26, 2007 titled Vertical Expressions. Hartman and Schlitt have performed several shows to promote the album.
In addition, Schlitt released his third solo project, titled The Grafting on 2008-01-22. Dan Needham, Schlitt's son-in-law, produced the album. The album was released with premier performances of the tracks "The Grafting" and "Only Men" by Schlitt on the program, Celebrations. The telecast was aired internationally by the Daystar Television Network. In May 2008, John Schlitt toured India, playing eight dates in six cities with an all-new backing band, StoneJava. With this new backing group, John played songs from his solo CDs, along with many Petra favorites, to positive reviews.
John Schlitt has earned multiple Gold Records, Grammys and Dove Awards. He has toured all over the world and has been inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame as the lead singer of Petra. John Schlitt was recently named the best rock singer in Christian music history by GospelMusicChannel.com. According to the website, John Schlitt "remains one of the most distinctive and impactful men to ever stand behind a microphone."
Schlitt has been married to wife Dorla since August 28, 1971. They have four children together and reside in Franklin, TN

John Schlitt had it all, a successful band, a career that was really going places, and a life that was spiraling out of control. But God had other plans, and through a dramatic interaction with his wife and pastor, John began a journey that took him out of music so that he could focus on his relationship with Jesus. And just when John thought music would never be part of his life again, along came an opportunity to sing with a little band called Petra. And for the next 30 years, God used John to help spread the gospel around the world as one of the most iconic voices in Christian Music.
