"The University of Arizona has no tolerance for behavior that hurts students or puts them at risk," said the school's Dean.
The Alpha Sigma Phi fraternity at the University of Arizona has been removed from campus following threats made to pledges. The New York Post reports that students were forced to solve puzzles while intoxicated and were told that "rats" would be murdered if they went to authorities.
"[The frat's president] stated that the incident happened because the new member process has strayed, and that in the future, the fraternity will work to have more involvement in the community, and Greek Life, and that there is no tolerance for physical assault," the letter continued. The night in question eventually lead to the arrest of 19-year-old Cody Ward, who was deemed to have violated the school's policy.
The University of Arizona has since revoked the frat's univeristy recognition, meaning that their actions are no long officially sanctioned by the school and that they no longer may conduct activities on campus. They are also forbidden from recruiting new members. The organization has until May 25th to appeal the decision.
University representatives and University police are not offering comments on the situation until an investigation is completed.
"The University of Arizona has no tolerance for behavior that hurts students or puts them at risk," UA Dean of Students Kendal Washington White said. "The serious nature of the assault allegation warranted the university's decisive action."
The frat had faced a similar situation last year when students violated the school's policy on alcohol. The school forced the students to give presentations on alcohol safety and the group was put on probation.

Our recent article was devoted to metabolic process in stimulating and regulating appetite. We made up our mind to continue metabolic topic in covering diabetes disease.
According to National Diabetes Statistics Report an estimated 23.1 million people – or 7.2% of the U.S. population – had diagnosed diabetes. And in 2015 diabetes was the 7th leading cause of death in the United States.
In spite of the fact, that diabetes isn't so popularized as a severe and dangerous disease like for instance cancer and it's quite possible to live with diabetes normally, the staggering figures show that it should be concerned seriously. For simple people never faced diabetes this disease is associated with sugar, or its high level in the blood. Of course it's not because of chocolate and sweets, but we have to consider sugar blood, called glucose.
To understand what diabetes is and how harmful it can be, we need to get the idea of how glucose is controlled. And it is the job of the hormone insulin, which is produced by the pancreas. Insulin is responsible for regulating sugar and fat from consumed food. Diabetes can develop if the pancreas produces little or no insulin (type 1 diabetes), or when there is insulin in our body, but it couldn't be accepted properly (type 2 diabetes).
eye complications: diabetic retinopathy (it may occur in those patients who have been suffering from diabetes for at least 5 years), cataracts and glaucoma.
Consequently, because of the complicated and many-sided nature of this far not so simple disease the multipurpose cure has not been found yet. The treatment is complex and mainly based on the life style. An endocrinologist (a diabetes specialist) composes a diabetes treatment plan that consists of medications, exercise and diet.
Telling the truth, diabetes treatment is rather expensive. As the website CostHelper.com says typical costs for patients covered by insurance vary from $10-50 to $200 per month and for patients without health insurance expenses vary from $4-100 to $200-500 per month. But it's only for medications, not saying about blood glucose meters that are necessary for constant monitoring of glucose level. On average it will cost for about $20-80. If a patient without insurance uses insulin pumps, he may pay $4,500-$6,500, depending on the its brand, features and size. Patients with insurance may expect typical copay and coinsurance rates ranging from $5 to half of the total cost of the pump. For example, in 2012 the United States paid 245 billion dollars for annual diabetes cost.
Paradoxically, people are ready to pay billions on medications that perhaps won't work instead of spending far lesser amounts on research and simply legalizing given by nature a miraculous plant that could solve numerous health issues. As you've already guessed, we mean cannabis. Medical marijuana may be not only an effective, but also reasonably priced cure.
The first and foremost research paper that comes to the mind is the American Alliance for Medical Cannabis (AAMC) report claiming that medical cannabis may stabilize sugar blood. It also has an anti-inflammatory quality. While diabetics may experience gastrointestinal cramps and pain as mentioned above, medical cannabis helps relieve it because cannabinoids work as "anti-spasmodic agents".
MMJ contributes to lower blood pressure and keeps blood vessels open and consequently improves circulation. From a practical point of view cannabis can be used as edibles and substituting cannabis butter and oil in foods "benefits cardiac and arterial health in general". Mixed with some natural oil, cannabis may be used in topical creams to be applied to limbs affected by neuropathic pain and tingling.
One more fascinating study published in 2013 in the American Journal of Medicine reports that of 4657 participants, where 579 were current marijuana users and 1975 were past users, marijuana use was associated with a smaller waist size and 16% lower fasting insulin levels.
A 2015 study with type 2 diabetics shows that THCV, a form of a found in cannabis substance THC, is rather efficacious in decreasing of fasting blood glucose, improving of the production of insulin.
Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, led by Dr. Raphael Mechoulam conducted a study on rats and concluded that anti-inflammatory properties of CBD could treat the chronic inflammation and therefore improve the body's metabolism.
Moreover CBD component could also be helpful in treating the above mentioned diabetic retinopathy, as a study on diabetic rats shows.
For sure anti-MMJ supporters may claim about a series of after-effects of diabetes medical marijuana treatment such as increased appetite, heart rate, dizziness, breathing issues, impaired concentration and memory or withdrawal effects. But that's why we need more research and freedom for this research to find out pros and cons and finally come up with a unique and multi-purpose cure, that we strongly believe can be produced from medical marijuana.

Many of us are faced with communal problems, often the question arises about installing, replacing or repairing counters. In this article, we will describe why counting devices are needed, when and how to replace the meter.
Why do we need counters?
Pursuant to Paragraph 3 of Article 484 of the Civil Code of July 1, 1999 of the Republic of Kazakhstan (Special Part) , it is established that the amount of energy supplied by the energy supply organization and the subscriber's received energy is determined by the indicators of the metering devices and, in their absence, by calculation.
Also, in accordance with subparagraph 15) of Article 1 of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Electric Power Industry", a commercial accounting device is a technical device intended for commercial accounting of electric power, electric or thermal energy, authorized for use in the manner established by the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
We note that, in accordance with subparagraphs 1) and 3) of paragraph 3 of the Order. Chairman of the Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan on Regulation of Natural Monopolies of August 7, 2006 No. 192-OD:
accounting device - a technical device designed to account for the volume of consumption of regulated public utilities (goods, works), authorized for use in accordance with the procedure established by law;
consumer - an individual or legal entity that uses or intends to use regulated services (goods, works) of natural monopoly entities and a regulated market.
The supply of electricity, heat, gas and water is made on the basis of a contract with a utility company. The main terms of supply are indicated in the contract, therefore, in order to avoid unpleasant incidents, it is necessary to carefully read the text of the contents of the contract. In March 2015, a model agreement was approved.
23.11.2017 g. and 24.06.2019 g. approved standard contracts of power supply and supply of thermal energy.
In accordance with paragraph 27 of Article p.2 p.2 of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Natural Monopolies" , consumers of services (goods, works) of a natural monopoly entity must have metering devices for regulated public utilities (goods, works).
Thus, for consumers do not have metering devices, the norm of consumption of utilities for power supply and heat supply is produced by calculation (rules of calculation of norm of consumption of utilities for power supply and heat supply to consumers that do not have a meter, approved by order of the Minister of national economy of Kazakhstan dated 13.01.2015, No. 15).
in compliance, it is the meters that will save you from overpaying for utilities, because by the meter you will only pay for honestly expended cubes of water or gas. While tariffs for consumers without metering devices can on the contrary, either exceed your actual volume of consumed resources, or the indicators will be too small, and this will lead to trouble in the future. As an example, utilities can question the number of people actually living in the home, excessively low or high consumption.
Who should install and pay for installing the counter
In accordance with paragraph 5 of the Order of the Acting President. Chairman of the Agency of the Republic of Kazakhstan on Regulation of Natural Monopolies of August 7, 2006 No. 192-OD:
the amount of payment for the acquisition and installation of metering devices for regulated public utilities (goods, works) (hereinafter referred to as the "Payment") is calculated by the Entity and is agreed with the authorized body.
Also, the Civil Code, in particular clause 1 of Article 487 stipulates that the subscriber is obliged to ensure the proper technical condition and safety of the operated power networks, devices and equipment, and also to observe the established regime of energy consumption.
At the same time, article 487, paragraph 2, of the Civil Code stipulates that in cases when a citizen using energy for domestic consumption acts as a subscriber under a power supply contract, the obligation to ensure the proper technical condition and safety of energy networks, as well as energy consumption meters, is assigned to the energy supply organization, if other is not established by legislative acts.
In accordance with subparagraph 9) of Article 7 of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On Natural Monopolies" (hereinafter - the Law), the subject of a natural monopoly is obliged to purchase and install to consumers metering devices for regulated public utilities (goods, works) in accordance with contracts concluded with consumers.
In accordance with subparagraph 1) of Article 10 of the Law, a consumer of services (goods, works) of a natural monopoly entity has the right to require installation of meters or independently acquire and install them.
In other words, the installation of the meter must be carried out by the utility, unless, of course, otherwise specified in the contract.
What are you entitled to as a consumer
To receive electric and heat energy in accordance with the concluded contracts;
To require energy-producing, energy-transferring and energy-supplying organizations to compensate for actual damage caused by under-delivery or delivery of poor-quality electric and thermal energy in accordance with the terms of concluded contracts;
To apply to the court to resolve disputes related to the conclusion and execution of contracts.
In this case, you are obliged
To maintain the proper technical condition of power and energy installations and commercial accounting devices owned by consumers.
To comply with the energy consumption regimes defined by the contract for the sale and purchase of electricity and heat.
To comply with the regulatory requirements aimed at maintaining the standard frequency of electric power in the unified power system of the Republic of Kazakhstan, timely pay for the supplied, transmitted and consumed electricity and (or) heat energy in accordance with the concluded contracts.
To admit workers of energy supplying and energy transfer organizations to devices of commercial accounting, as well as employees of the state body for state energy control to monitor the technical condition and safety of operation of power and energy installations.
Timely pay for the released, transferred and consumed electric and (or) thermal energy according to the concluded contracts.
To conclude individual contracts with a natural monopoly entity for each type of regulated services provided in accordance with model contracts approved by the authorized body.
To fulfill the technical requirements established by the subject of natural monopoly in accordance with the legislation of the Republic of Kazakhstan.
When can you turn off the electricity partially?
Absence of payment, and also incomplete payment for electric energy in the terms established by the contract of power supply.
Violations of the power consumption regime established by the power supply contract;
In case of non-fulfillment of the requirements of the energy transmission (energy-producing) organization on elimination of violations within the established terms.
When can you turn off the electricity completely?
Unauthorized connection of power receivers to the network of the power transmission organization;
Connection of power receivers in addition to meters;
Reduction of electricity quality indicators through the fault of the consumer to values that disrupt the functioning of electrical installations of the energy transmission organization and other consumers;
Preventing representatives of the energy supply and (or) energy transfer organizations from commercial accounting devices;
If you need to disconnect electricity in connection with planned technical works, you must notify in advance about it in three working days (paragraph 53 of the Electricity Use Policy ).
Why check and replace the electricity meter?
All means of measurement and accounting of electric energy, as well as information and measuring systems are verified and have a certificate of verification or a brand of the verifier (p. 381 of the Rules of technical operation of electrical installations of consumers, approved by the Order of the Minister of energy of the Republic of Kazakhstan dated 30.03.2015 year No. 246).
The verification of the meter is carried out to determine its suitability for use, namely confirms or denies the correctness of its calculations, and it is also necessary to check compliance with metrological standards.
Measuring means serially produced in Kazakhstan or imported to the territory of the Republic of Kazakhstan parties and intended for application in sphere of state metrological control before commissioning testing, followed by type approval of those measuring instruments. The decision of type approval of measuring instruments is accepted by the competent authority (Ministry of investments and development of Republic of Kazakhstan) and is certified by a certificate of type approval of measuring instruments of the established sample, the validity of which is established for its issuance (section 1, article 17 of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "On ensuring the uniformity of measurements").
In addition, measuring instruments manufactured in the Republic of Kazakhstan or imported in single copies and intended for use in the field of state metrological control are subject to metrological certification before commissioning.
The decision on metrological certification of measuring instruments is certified by the certificate on metrological certification of measuring instruments of the established sample which validity period is established at its issue.
Tests of measuring instruments for the purposes of type approval and for compliance with the approved type, metrological certification of measuring instruments are carried out by the state metrological service.
The approved type of measuring instruments and measuring instruments that have passed metrological certification shall be entered into the register of the state system of ensuring the unity of measurements by the authorized body (Ministry of investment and development of the Republic of Kazakhstan) (item 9, item 2 of article 5 of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "on ensuring the unity of measurements").
It should be noted that, the expiration of the inter-verification interval is not the basis for the replacement of the electricity metering device, but is the basis for its verification, the results of which establish the possibility of further operation of the device or its replacement.
If the verification was successful and the counter is all right, a seal (with a stamp) is put on it, and you continue to use it. If, however, the inspector found faults in the meter's work and found it unsuitable for use, then the impression of the valid verification mark is extinguished and a corresponding record is made in the operational documentation, and the valid verification certificate is canceled and a notice of unfitness to application in the form is issued.
Replacement will be necessary for those meters that have not passed the test or metrological certification, have not been tested and found unfit for use, which have external (internal) damage, disrupting their performance, which is the deadline for operational service.
At the same time, the meters are of different classes, the accuracy class is 2.5, then the provisions of GOST 6570-96 "Electric active and reactive energy induction meters. General technical conditions ", it is established that from 01.07.1997 the operation of meters of accuracy class 2.5 is allowed up to the first inter-verification interval of periodic verification of meters. So, if your counter of accuracy class 2.5 it will have to be changed at the nearest scheduled calibration.
If the verification of the meter is unplanned, then the costs of the procedures are borne by the initiating party.
How are the results of checking the electric meter?
According to paragraph 6 of Article 19 of the Law "On ensuring the uniformity of measurements", positive verification results are verified with an impression of the verification mark, which is affixed to the measuring instrument and (or) operational documentation, and (or) a certificate of verification of measuring instruments.
In the case of a negative result of verification of the meter and its recognition as unfit for application, the impression of the valid verification mark is extinguished and a corresponding record is made in the operational documentation, and the valid verification certificate is annulled and a notice of unfitness to application in the form is issued.
How often can the meter be calibrated?
Checking counters is a kind of expertise on the suitability of the meter. The verification can be carried out for two reasons: because of the approaches of the planned verification period (verification interval) or in case of doubt of one of the contractors (you or the company that provides electricity).
According to item 42 of PPE, verification of devices of the commercial accounting of electric energy is made according to the inter-checking interval in the terms specified in the register of the state system of ensuring unity of measurements of the Republic of Kazakhstan with which it is possible to study on the website www.kazinmetr.kz....
What is important for any counter
1. Counters must be placed in an easily accessible place, so that there is unimpeded access for controllers.
2. Carefully read the contract for the provision of electricity, heat energy, water, gas and so on. The regulation of the relationship between the supplier and the consumer in most cases depends on the content of the contract.
3. It is better to feed the meter regularly. Each region has its own system of giving evidence, but if you are often not at home, you can find out contacts and submit data yourself. This measure will save you from overpayment and time-consuming recalculation procedures. In addition, differentiated tariffs in some regions imply overpayment in excess of the norms of consumed services, accordingly giving evidence and paying once a quarter, your values will exceed the monthly rate and will be calculated at higher tariffs. By submitting data and paying for utilities on a monthly basis, the amount will be much lower.

Nick Moon was born in Bombay, where his English father was a shipping company executive, and his Irish mother an interior designer. At 17, restless, searching, a little impatient, Nick left school and spent the next seven years developing practical skills on construction sites across Europe and became a professional cabinet-maker and carpenter. In 1978, Nick settled in London and set up his first business. The next year, a small want advertising the need for a French-speaking carpenter led him on his first trip to Africa to build a music recording studio in Togo. He saw that Africa was a place of energy and hope and optimism despite its troubles. The trip set the course for his life after that.
He returned to build another music studio, this time in Nigeria, which solidified this impression and led him to join the British VSO (Voluntary Service Overseas – an agency similar to the US Peace Corps) in 1982 and moved to a l, rural community in Western Kenya, where he set up a technical training school, a 'village polytechnic', and ran it for over two years. During this time, he learned Swahili and gained the ability to learn about how the world was viewed by his new friends and neighbors- rural small-scale farmers.
After leaving VSO in 1985, Nick stayed in Kenya working for ActionAid, training community groups how to make bricks, stabilized soil blocks, roofing tiles and managing school and clinic construction programs, at first in the slum settlements of Nairobi, later in the northern districts among Kenya's nomadic communities. It was at this time that Nick met Martin Fisher, and they formed a strong friendship, going on together to design equipment, build and manage school construction programs, small dams and water catchment projects, farm implements production workshops, and training schemes.
The pair became disillusioned as many apparently successful group enterprises collapsed soon after they left. They realized that in many cases they were doing more harm than good. By assisting these enterprises in which the local people had no meaningful investment, nor had taken on any risk in the event of failure, they were in fact working against genuine local entrepreneurs who were unable to compete with a large charity. As a result, in 1991, Moon and Fisher went on to found ApproTEC, the non-profit that would become KickStart.
By bringing together the entrepreneurial spirit of the poor, innovative tools and technologies, and the power of the marketplace, they developed a cost effective and sustainable way to help families lift themselves out of poverty. They started to design affordable moneymaking tools and mass-market them to the poor, who in turn bought the equipment and used it to establish highly profitable family businesses.

The Battle that Led to Victory at Yorktown
Largely overlooked in histories of the Revolution, the Battle of the Chesapeake is in fact one of the most important naval engagements in history, leading to the American victory at Yorktown.
Fall 2019 - George Washington Prize Books

In the Hurricane's Eye: The Genius of George Washington and the Victory at Yorktown by Nathaniel Philbrick (Viking)
When France entered the American Revolutionary War in the spring of 1778, George Washington dared to hope his new ally had put victory within reach. Finally, the British navy's hold on the Atlantic Seaboard was about to be broken. If the French succeeded in establishing what Washington called "naval superiority," the enemy's army would be left open to attack from not only the land but also the sea. But after two and a half years of trying, the French had been unable to contain the British navy.
First, an inexplicably protracted Atlantic crossing prevented French admiral Comte d'Estaing from trapping the enemy's fleet in Philadelphia. Shortly after that, d'Estaing turned his attention to British-occupied New York, only to call off the attack for fear his ships would run aground at the bar across the harbor mouth. A few weeks after that, a storm off the coast of southern New England prevented d'Estaing from engaging the British in a naval battle that promised to be a glorious victory for France.
Since then, a botched amphibious assault at Savannah, Georgia, had marked the only other significant action on the part of the French navy, a portion of which now lay frustratingly dormant at Newport at the southern end of Rhode Island's Narragansett Bay. By the fall of 1780, amid the aftershocks of devastating defeats at Charleston and Camden in South Carolina and Benedict Arnold's treasonous attempt to surrender the fortress at West Point to the enemy, Washington had come to wonder whether the ships of his salvation would ever appear.
Since the beginning of the French alliance, Washington pursued an unrelenting quest for naval superiority, which made possible the triumph at Yorktown.
For the last two years he'd been locked in an unproductive standoff with Sir Henry Clinton, the British commander in North America, in and around New York City. What fighting had occurred had been, for the most part, in the south, where British general Charles Cornwallis sought to build upon his recent victories by pushing into North Carolina. Between the northern and southern theaters of the war lay the inland sea of the Chesapeake, which had enjoyed a period of relative quiet since the early days of the conflict.
All that changed in December 1780, when Clinton sent his newest brigadier general, the traitor Benedict Arnold, to Virginia. Having already dispatched the Rhode Islander Nathanael Greene to do battle with Cornwallis in the Carolinas, Washington sent the young French nobleman whom he regarded as a surrogate son, the Marquis de Lafayette, in pursuit of Arnold.
Thus began the movement of troops that resulted nine months later in Cornwallis's entrapment at the shoreside hamlet of Yorktown, when a large fleet of French warships arrived from the Caribbean. As Washington had long since learned, coordinating his army's movements with those of a fleet of sail-powered men-of-war based two thousand miles away was virtually impossible. But in the late summer of 1781, the impossible happened.
And then, just a few days later, a fleet of British warships appeared.
The Battle of the Chesapeake took place near the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay on September 5, 1781.
The Battle of the Chesapeake has been called the most important naval engagement in the history of the world. Fought outside the entrance of the bay between French admiral Comte de Grasse's twenty-four ships of the line and a slightly smaller British fleet commanded by Rear Admiral Thomas Graves, the battle inflicted severe enough damage on the Empire's ships that Graves returned to New York for repairs. By preventing the rescue of seven thousand British and German soldiers under the command of General Cornwallis, de Grasse's victory on September 5,1781, made Washington's subsequent triumph at Yorktown a virtual fait accompli. Peace would not be officially declared for another two years, but that does not change the fact that a naval battle fought between the French and the British was largely responsible for the independence of the United States.
A naval battle fought between the French and the British was largely responsible for the independence of the United States.
Despite its undeniable significance, the Battle of the Chesapeake plays only a minor part in most popular accounts of the war, largely because no Americans participated in it. If the sea figures at all in the story of the Revolutionary War, the focus tends to be on the heroics of John Paul Jones off England's Flamborough Head, even though that two-ship engagement had little impact on the overall direction of the conflict. Instead of concentrating on the sea, the traditional narrative of Yorktown focuses on the allied army's long overland journey south, with a special emphasis on the collaborative relationship between Washington and his French counterpart the Comte de Rochambeau. In this view, the encounter between the French and British fleets was a mere prelude to the main event. In my book, I hope to put the sea where it properly belongs: at the center of the story.
As Washington understood with a perspicacity that none of his military peers could match, only the intervention of the French navy could achieve the victory the times required. Six months before the Battle of the Chesapeake, during the winter of 1781, he had urged the French to send a large fleet of warships to the Chesapeake in an attempt to trap Benedict Arnold in Portsmouth, Virginia. What was, in effect, a dress rehearsal for the Yorktown campaign is essential to understanding the evolving, complex, and sometimes acrimonious relationship between Washington and Rochambeau. As we will see, the two leaders were not the selfless military partners of American legend; each had his own jealously guarded agenda, and it was only after Washington reluctantly — and angrily — acquiesced to French demands that they began to work in concert.
The naval Battle of the Chesapeake kept reinforcements and supplies from British General Charles Cornwallis, who was forced to surrendered afterwards at Yorktown. John Trumbull painted this mural for the U.S. Capitol showing Cronwallis (center), even though he was not himself present at the surrender).
Ultimately, the course of the Revolutionary War came down to America's proximity to the sea—a place of storms and headwinds that no one could control. Instead of an inevitable march to victory, Yorktown was the result of a hurried rush of seemingly random events—from a hurricane in the Caribbean, to a bloody battle amid the woods near North Carolina's Guilford Courthouse, to the loan of 500,000 Spanish pesos from the citizens of Havana, Cuba — all of which had to occur before Cornwallis arrived at Yorktown and de Grasse sailed into the Chesapeake.
That the pieces finally fell into place in September and October 1781 never ceased to amaze Washington. "I am sure," he wrote the following spring, "that there never was a people who had more reason to acknowledge a divine interposition in their affairs than those of the United States."
The victory at Yorktown was improbable at best, but it was also the result of a strategy Washington had been pursuing since the beginning of the French alliance. My book is the story of how Washington's unrelenting quest for naval superiority made possible the triumph at Yorktown. It is also the story of how, in a supreme act of poetic justice, the final engagement of the war brought him back to the home he had not seen in six years. For it was here, on a river in Virginia, that he had first began to learn about the wonder, power, and ultimate indifference of the sea.

IASB Meeting — 23–25 June 2020
Maintenance and consistent application
Disclosure initiative: Accounting policies
Disclosure initiative: Targeted standards-level review of disclosures
Deferral of effective date of amendments to IAS 1
Extractive activities
IBOR reform and the effects on financial reporting
Date recorded: 23 Jun 2020
The IASB met on Tuesday 23, Wednesday 24 and Thursday 25 June 2020 and discussed:
IBOR Reform and the Effects of Financial Reporting: The IASB discussed feedback on the Exposure Draft (ED) Interest Rate Benchmark Reform—Phase 2 (Proposed Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16), published in April 2020. The IASB supported all of the staff recommendations. The proposals on accounting for qualifying hedging relationships and groups of items will be discussed in July 2020, when the staff also expect to ask the IASB to finalise the proposals.
Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current—Deferral of Effective Date of Amendments to IAS 1: The IASB decided to finalise its proposal to defer the effective date of the amendments by one year to annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 January 2023.
Disclosure Initiative: Accounting Policies: The Board decided to apply the concept of materiality to all types of accounting policy information, including accounting policy information that is standardised information or information that duplicates or summarises the requirements of a Standard.
Disclosure Initiative: Targeted Standards-level Review of Disclosures: The Board decided to begin the balloting process on Exposure Draft (ED) Targeted Standards-level Review of Disclosures—Amendments to IAS 19 and IFRS 13. It will have a comment period of 180 days (longer than the normal minimum of 120 days because the proposals could have significant consequences).
Extractive Activities: In September 2019, the IASB asked the staff to assess what problems, if any, entities with extractive activities have when applying IFRS requirements and whether the primary users of their financial statements are getting all the information they need. At this meeting the staff reported the results of their research, which indicated mixed views. The main Board comments focused on challenges in setting the scope of the project and low levels of engagement with users. No decisions were made.
Sale of a Subsidiary to a Customer. In October 2019, the Board discussed the accounting for transactions that involve the sale of a subsidiary to a customer when that subsidiary holds a single asset and whether IFRS 10 or IFRS 15 should apply. The Board rejected the staff recommendation to amend IFRS 10 to place such transactions within the scope of IFRS 15.
Accounting Policy Changes (proposed amendments to IAS 8 in relation to agenda decisions). In December 2019, the Trustees amended the Due Process Handbook to clarify that the explanatory material in an agenda decision derives its authority from the Standards and accordingly, entities are required to apply the applicable Standards, reflecting the explanatory material in an agenda decision. ED/2018/1 Accounting Policy Changes proposed amending IAS 8 to simplify the application of accounting policy changes that result from an agenda decision. The Board decided not to proceed with the proposed amendments and to do no further work on the project.

In most circumstances, the largest investment one has is their real estate portfolio. Thus, it's critical to partner with a broker that encompasses the dedication, honesty, and trust, necessary to ensure a rewarding transaction.
Ben Fisher has spent the past decade brokering real estate with the strong conviction of giving his clients the guidance and counsel as if the transactions were his own. He is a firm believer that negotiations must have reciprocal action from both sides and on occasions too numerous to mention, Ben has advised clients to walk away from transactions when they have not received proper satisfaction from a negotiation.
Mr. Fisher decided to affiliate himself with @ Properties after finding himself disinterested in the modus operandi of other brokerages and their desires to only close transactions without much compassion for the client. Ben will not allow his name to be affiliated with such practices and prides himself on giving an unprecedented level of service and counsel to all of his clients, regardless of market segmentation.
Ben Fisher received his Bachelor of Arts in Justice at The American University in Washington, DC. Prior to his real estate career, Mr. Fisher served as a Senior Officer of Public, Press, and Interreligious Affairs at one of the most influential diplomatic missions in Washington, DC. His experiences in international relations and government has prepared him well in dealing with the often turbulent waters of real estate and he has used that knowledge to build bridges within real estate transactions so that common ground can be found and all parties can be satisfied with a profitable transaction.
Ben takes great pride in being available to his clients 24/7 while giving a level of service that he feels is greatly missing from the current real estate environment. He is thrilled to be a part of the @ Properties team and is available at any time to discuss your real estate needs. Even if you are just curious as to what your neighbor's house sold for, give him a call.
"I would highly recommend Ben to anyone looking for house in the North Shore area! His knowledge of the area and his amazing response time was invaluable; I truly believe we wouldn't have gotten our house without him as our realtor."
"Ben was terrific and patient with me and my husband throughout the entire process of buying a home! From start to finish he was a tremendous help during house hunting and gave very sound advice throughout the whole process - from information on the home and its location attributes, all the way down to the transaction itself. A true pleasure to work with; we can't thank him enough!"
"Ben is the best. He kept our best interests at the forefront of everything he did for us. From the first house we saw to the last paper we had to sign, he was there every step of the way. Since we were first-time home buyers, Ben made sure we thought of things that no apartment-dweller would ever think of. It was a pleasure to work with him - highly recommended!"
"Ben did a great job listening to concerns and what we hoped to find in our home. He was very supportive and answered all of our questions. We highly recommend him!"
"Ben is the best broker! He guided us through the process of buying a home. We are recommending him to everyone we know that wants to buy property."

Shayla Warmsley reviews A university in troubled times: Queen's, Belfast, 1945-2000 by Leslie A Clarkson, Four Courts Press, ISBN 1-85182-862-1, £45, 45 euro hbk
ACKNOWLEDGING A subsidy from his subject, Clarkson denies that Queen's "attempted to impose any sort of official line". The problem - and this is not to impugn the historian's integrity - is that you never quite forget that the sponsor and the subject are one and the same
True, Clarkson comes close to critical. By dismissing the idea of expansion in the 1960s, for instance, "Queen's played its hand badly and had to live with the consequence for the rest of the century." But you can't help wondering how much more critical he might have been had this history not been commissioned by its subject.
Official historians have access to every imaginable data set - and, God knows, Clarkson has used pretty much all of them. Want to know how much Queen's spent on computing services between 1945-1949? Really? He can tell you.
Beyond a readership of anachronistic accountants, if this book has more than parochial value it is because it poses this question: what are universities for? Human capital and the enrichment of cultural life, he suggests - in other words, professional wages and copy for the culture pages. You need not sign up to strive for the greater glory of God to want more of tertiary education than this. Successive vice-chancellors at Queen's certainly did.
But it turns out that the current dichotomy between "relevance" and excellence is not new. Cardinal John Henry Newman, the great advocate of academia, envisaged universities that disseminated but did not advance knowledge - that is, universities without research. Even in the mid-1960s, some within Queen's were still trying to offload non-degree courses.
And there's a second question: what social role does a university such as Queen's
have? The awkward political context appears to be an embarrassment for Clarkson. "A distinctive feature of society in Northern Ireland is an acute awareness of the denominational split between Protestants and Roman Catholics," he warns his (presumably Martian) readers.
At Oxford and Cambridge (just so you know which universities it counts at its peers), there is little truck between town and gown. In contrast, Queen's is "intimately related to its local community". Yet when attackers repeatedly firebomb university buildings at the end of the 1960s, Clarkson remarks only that they "compelled the University (note that Oxbridge upper-case U) to spend money" on security. That actuarial tendency again.
The lack of social responsiveness, rather, is the story between the lines. Catholics, grown uppity with increased numbers and increased wealth, were demanding more places for their own kids - just over 20 per cent in 1954 to more than 50 per cent (and a Protestant backlash) in 1987.
Later, the University of Ulster gave Queen's a run for its money. When Ulster poached business courses from Queen's in the 1980s with little effort, the move "strengthened a popular belief that Queen's was not really interested in serving the local community."
Finally, occasionally, it is difficult to decide between idiosyncratic editing and political point-scoring. By the end of 2001, Clarkson points out, there was a 'peace process'. Whatever he thinks of the Good Friday Agreement and its aftermath , the process doesn't need inverted commas.

Harry Belafonte Explodes the Presidential "Make Me Do It" Myth
Posted by MLToday | May 17, 2011 | Struggles for Equality | 0
There is a popular myth which explains President Barack Obama's reluctance to stand up to Pentagon militarists, Wall Street banksters and corporate greedheads.
This myth excuses the president for ignoring massive black unemployment and not providing his promised path to citizenship for the undocumented, for not using presidential authority to halt the foreclosure epidemic, or curbing the hyper-incarceration of black and brown youth.
The myth of course, is that President Barack Obama really does want to do all these things and more, but if they haven't happened it's because we the people have abandoned our responsibility to somehow "make him do it."
The myth stems from the apocryphal story of a meeting between African American labor leader A. Philip Randolph and President Franklin Roosevelt back in the 1940s. Randolph laid out black America's list of demands for economic and social justice. In response, Roosevelt said he wanted to do all of it, but that Randolph and the movement of that time would still have to "make him" do these things.
Applied to the Obama presidency however, "make me do it" is a popular myth. It's popular because the president and his lackeys repeat it endlessly. It's a myth because it's not true. Longtime activist Harry Belafonte, who played a key role in the Freedom Movement of the fifties and sixties, exploded the myth in a Democracy Now interview broadcast on May 16.
Belafonte was asked by host Amy Goodman whether he'd used his occasional access to directly share his many critical and valuable public policy insights with the White House. Belafonte replied that his only access to the president has been for a few seconds at a time, not long enough for any substantive discussion. But, he said, at one such event President Obama approached him to inquire when Belafonte and Cornel West were going "to cut me some slack."
"What makes you think we haven't?" Belafonte replied to the president? At this point the brief encounter was over.
Let's pause to think about that.
When President Obama cusses out Cornel West and personally demands that historic stalwarts of the movement for peace and justice "cut him some slack" on black unemployment, on foreclosures and the prison state, on torture and the military budget, on unjust wars and corporate welfare, on fulfilling the just demands of those who elected him, our first black president is revealing his real self. Far from saying "make me do it," President Obama is saying how dare you pressure me to do what you elected me to do.
Harry Belafonte has done a great public service in helping us distinguish the imaginary Barack Obama of "make me do it" from the real Barack Obama, who demands our support, but expects us to "cut him some slack." Rather than agitating and organizing in our communities to "make him do it" all the real President Obama wants of movement activists is for us to sit down and shut up, until it's time to help chase everybody out to vote for him in 2012.
By then, there will be fewer chasers, and somewhat less chasing than in 2008. But this will be something that President Obama made us do, not the other way around.

The United Arab Emirates is one of the most advanced telecoms sector in the Middle East and with a government actively supporting Smart City and Digital Transformation initiatives – the future for the sector continues to look bright. This is assisted by the high rate of fibre penetration in the Emirates, where around 85% of all fixed broadband subscribes utilise FttH/FttP.
A milestone was reached in October 2015 when the TRA announced it had implemented fixed network sharing across the UAE. Both Etisalat and Du are now able to utilise fixed infrastructure and market services across all locations. This signalled the end of six years of negotiations between the TRA and the operators. While the arrangement does not currently include Pay TV it is expected this will become included by the end of 2016.
The UAE possesses a strong mobile market which includes high smart phone penetration. The focus of the operators in recent times has been revenue growth through offering increased service options such as bundling aimed at increasing mobile data usage. Their efforts are succeeding with mobile data now making up over 30% of both Etisalat's and du's mobile services revenue in the UAE.
Further opportunities for telecoms in the UAE exist around the growing enterprise sector, underpinned by a high number of SME's operating in the country. In particular there is a growing need for data centre and managed services, along with M2M solutions and increased mobile broadband offerings.
Generally speaking, e-commerce is growing in the stabilised markets of the Middle East and the UAE's growing wealth and internet usage have spurred the development of e-commerce, with more and more shoppers being attracted by the value of online purchases, secure payment facilities, the reputation of the website, and the speed of transactions. The United Arab Emirates is also a prime location for the rise of streaming video and video-on-demand services due to its strong mobile and fixed infrastructure and a population which traditionally enjoys TV and entertainment.
Government services are actively being transitioned to offer online digital and mobile services, with over 95% of important government services offering m-government solutions.
Smart phone penetration has reached around 70% of all registered handsets.
Du and Etisalat are both demonstrating an interest in developing 5G and have developed various partnerships.
In 2015 du announced it had finished testing on its IoT network which uses nationally deployed sensors to relay data - and paves the way for smarter management of parking, waste and lighting.
Etisalat has over 11 million subscribers in the UAE.
Etisalat began offering a sub brand called FIVE in recent years and this calling card offers lower tariffs, per second billing and competitive rates for international calls.
Du is implementing WiFi UAE which provides free WiFi access in public places to all UAE residents.
Yahsat plans to launch its third satellite, Al Yah 3 by the end of 2016 which will extend its coverage to Brazil and another 16 markets in Africa.

Methamphetamine is coined as one of the most addictive abused substances and accounts for a portion of the United States' crime rate, poverty, and emergency room visits. This raises a concern for adolescent populations given the increase in psychostimulant prescriptions combined with social pressure placed upon them. The adolescent developmental period is important because of the continued plasticity of the brain during critical windows of development that are sensitive to environmental perturbations such as stress. Disruptions in the brain could potentially lead to adverse reactions to future drug exposures which could possibly represent a susceptibility factor for mental health and addictions in adulthood. Measuring anxiety in adulthood may gauge resulting drug susceptibility as anxiety is a common behavior associated with drug abuse, especially that of stimulants. Male and female C57Bl6/J underwent no treatment or an daily treatment of forced swim stress during late adolescence (P42-51) and received either a subacute dose of methamphetamine (0.5mg/kg) or an equal volume of sterile saline in adulthood (P90) before testing for anxiety using the well-established elevated plus maze (EPM) behavioral paradigm. A subacute dose of meth is a critical component as it is below the threshold that stimulates measurable behavioral effects and allows for observation of sensitized behavior. A number of EPM behaviors were tracked to assess differences in adult drug-induced anxiety after adolescent stress. We expect to determine if modifications in the addiction pathway from stress during adolescence can account for increased drug susceptibility and anxiety in adulthood.

The ancient Ayurveda medicine has a beneficial therapy with powerful therapeutic effects, which involves the consumption of water upon waking up.
The sciatic nerve is the longest nerve in the body, as it stretches from the buttocks and the lower back, down the legs, to the feet.
As time goes by, it inevitably leaves its mark on us, and the physical changes include muscle and bone loss, wrinkles and blemishes, as well as graying and thinning hair.
This Juice Cleanses Your Liver & Lowers High Blood Pressure!
Beets are incredibly beneficial vegetables, as they are abundant in phytonutrients known as betalains, which offer powerful detoxification, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory properties.
Beets effectively prevent birth defects, heart diseases, and some cancer types.
The first place where we accumulate fat deposits is the belly, and abdominal fat is the last one we manage to burn.
Scientists have shown that inflammation is closely related to all chronic diseases, including obesity, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, dementia, autism, and depression.
Moreover, the rates of other inflammatory diseases like asthma, allergies, arthritis, and autoimmune disease are also increasing.
Adrenal burnout is the condition of overworked adrenal glands which causes hormonal imbalance and low cortisol levels. It is not a disease for which doctors can prescribe drugs, and is thus not acknowledged in the conventional medical model.
Body detox programs are incredibly beneficial as they boost overall health, but they should not be immediately related to starvation or painful symptoms.

Q: MySQL - Avoid repeating of result rows (with SUM) I have a problem with a query:
SELECT intracee, descr_intra, SUM(quanti) AS quan, SUM(pesotot) AS pesot, SUM(importo) AS impo FROM ".$gaDB."001intramov
                    WHERE datmov BETWEEN '2015-01-01' AND '2015-07-20' GROUP BY intracee

The target is, to select (with a form) every row between two dates and sum values grouping by the "intracee" code number and then print report with tcpdf.
It's actually working good, the problem is that repeats result rows again and again.
Here's a screenshot of DB table:

And here's one of result:

I just need to avoid the infinite repeating of result rows.
The result, in this case, should be the first two rows only.
I tried LIMIT and also with subquery, but the result is exactly the same!
Thanks in advance!

A: I solved the problem:
I forgot to delete the query where the query I posted was included.
Ispirer SQLWays Migrations helped me asking if I have any join, then I saw the mistake.
$cod = gaz_dbi_dyn_query("*", $gaDB."intracee","");
while ($c = gaz_dbi_fetch_array($cod)) {

$dati = gaz_dbi_query("SELECT intracee, descr_intra, SUM(quanti) AS quan, SUM(pesotot) AS pesot, SUM(importo) AS impo FROM ".$gaDB."001intramov
                    WHERE datmov BETWEEN ".$date_ini." AND ".$date_fin." GROUP BY intracee,descr_intra");
while ($r = gaz_dbi_fetch_array($dati)) {
  $pdf->Cell(70,6,$r['intracee'].' - '.$r['descr_intra'],1);
  $pdf->Cell(40,6,$r['quan'],1,0,'C');
  $pdf->Cell(40,6,gaz_format_number($r['pesot'],2),1,0,'C');
  $pdf->Cell(40,6,gaz_format_number($r['impo'],2),1,0,'C');
  $pdf->Ln();
}

}
Thank you for helping me, and sorry for wasting your time for something easy as this.
Too many hours working, and the become really hard to find some details!

Cut Up was founded by drummer Tobias Gustafsson and vocalist/bassist Erik Rundqvist in early 2014. After disbanding Vomitory by the end of 2013 after 24 years of death metal duty, the two felt it obvious to continue creating death metal together. Very soon, guitarist Anders Bertilsson and guitarist/vocalist Andreas Bjornson were recruited and Cut Up was complete. The next months followed with hard work, writing and rehearsing, and in November of 2014 they entered the studio and recorded 11 songs that would comprise Forensic Nightmares.
