Business Structure – Partnership
By Kylan Boone Last updated Aug 20, 2021
When you run a business, or if you are in the process of setting one, it is very important to provide careful consideration on the structure of your business. Partnerships are one such structure that must be explored, because their flexible nature means they can meet a number of settings. This article explores partnerships in more detail, from common features to various types available.
Partnership feature.
The partnership consists of two or more owners (which can be individuals, limited companies or partnerships) entering business together with general views to generate profits.
These partners, or 'members', will share business profits and losses. Factors such as obligations, management and investment will vary depending on the type of partnership adopted. Even so, it can be useful to document the details of your business structure in a partnership agreement to ensure that each member is aware of his position.
The partnership has many advantages, namely that they are much easier to regulate than limited companies, and they are also far more flexible. With less formalities and documents to organize, you can start trading under a relatively fast partnership. However, not all partnerships have legal identity, and so do not benefit from limited responsibilities. That is why you need to think about the type of partnership which is most suitable for your business.
Type of partnership.
There are 3 types of partnerships:
1. General Partnership.
The outline of the general partnership is set in the Partnership Act 1890, where it is described as 'relationships that survive between people who do the same business as profit views'. This structure remains the same, and seeing each member share the same rights and responsibilities, and a shared responsibility for debt. This can have significant implications, because general partnerships do not have legal identity protection. Therefore the partners do not have limited liabilities, which means their personal assets can be used to repay creditors.
2. Limited partnerships.
Introduced in 1907, limited partnerships consisted of one or more general partners, and one or more limited partners. Even though both of them share business profits, there are real differences between two roles. General partners are responsible for managing and everyday business, placing them with full responsibility (and therefore put their assets at risk if the business has problems). On the other hand, the limited partner only invests money, which means personal responsibility is reduced to the amount they have donated for business.
3. Limited Liability Partnership (LLP).
Limited accountability partnerships emerged in 2000 and can be seen as a half-way home between general partnerships and limited companies. Although there are more documents involved and the application must be submitted to the company's house, the business will get legal status. This can be very useful, because each partner will have limited obligations, protect their assets if the business faces any debt.
What type of partnership should you choose?
For help decide which type of partnership is the best for your business, talk to legal experts. A lawyer will be able to give you detailed information about each structure, describe the benefits and risks of each. They can then help you complete the Partnership Agreement, along with other legal issues that need to be addressed.

It has been a week not to be relived. Just the night before, Twiggy (the beetle) has fallen 'sick' again and in the morning suppose to make her wedding car debut.
7 days, 3 tow trucks and 1 major event later - here is the ending - happy ever afters? - let's hope three times a charm.
Enjoy! I Like Tow Trucks!
To April & Boi who I loved so dearly, may you have a wonderful life together. Candice & Ye Siang who were there all this while for this ordeal. Anthony's special guest appearance on Part II and his wonderful photographs. Patrick who had to help me find a screw driver. Inez and Johan for stayng behind the first time around. Steiner for having to redo the decorations and Jason for helping with the shooting part of this epilogue.
The 3 Tow Truck drivers - you guys are the best. The receptionists from AAS who have been patient with me and understanding my frustrations. My mechanic Gan who probably benefited the most out of this collateral income.
Everyone who has dropped a comment, SMS, called, came up to me to ask how Twiggy is - as if she is a real person (in many ways she is).
If there is a lesson I have learnt from this past week - relationships are not easy, you really have to work hard to make it work; now, to apply this with humans.
Helpful blog post and great sharing. Some things in here I have not thought about before, I want to use this moment to say that I really love this blog. It has been a fantastic resource of knowledge for me. Thank you so much!


A well-rounded, nutritious diet supports your dog's eyes, skin, coat, weight, and even their joints!
What and how you feed an 8-week old puppy will be different from what and how you will feed your adult or geriatric dog.
Puppies: Puppies grow fast and have loads of energy, so they require an extra feeding to keep their bodies fueled throughout the entire day. They should be fed three times per day until they reach 1-year old. Then they only need to be fed twice per day.
Adult Dogs: Some owners only feed their dog once a day, but I feel it's healthier to feed your dog twice daily with smaller portions equaling what you would normally give them once daily.
Senior Dogs: Depending on the size of your dog, they will begin their "Senior" years between the ages of six and eight. Once they hit this age, you might need to consider a special diet for your elderly dog. Diet mixes specifically tailored toward healthy skin, flexible joints, or weight control might be the way to go for older dogs.
Large Breeds: Large-breed formulas can help prevent joint and bone issues, but look for brands that are made specifically for larger dogs.
Small Breeds: Small breeds are more receptive to hyperglycemia. Increased feedings with decreased portions throughout the day will help keep their sugar levels from dipping dangerously low.
Be sure to read the labels on the packaging of your dog's food. Their diet should be Grain Free and GMO Free. Look for a "Meets AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials) Standards" label.
Higher quality of food means better nutrition and better quality also means less pooping throughout the day. It's not the prettiest subject, but you should consider your dog's stools when thinking about the right food. Loose stools or diarrhea may be a sign that their food isn't agreeing with their body. Firm stools, on the other hand, are signs of a healthy diet as they ease digestion and are especially encouraged for puppies, as they're helpful during potty-training.
Is Canned or Dry Dog Food Better?
Personally, I feel that optimal canine health is achieved with raw or fresh food rather than dry kibble, but as many families have been experiencing some difficult times in recent years, the convenience and cost of dry kibble is tough for many to pass up. Despite this, please understand that our pets' diets affect every aspect of their health and that kibble, purely from a wellness perspective, is probably not the best way to go. However, if you do choose dry kibble, it's important to spend time researching and learning about the various brands and varieties. I've offered a few of my top choices here to help assist you in this process.
Canned food does have higher water content than kibble, so it naturally keeps them better hydrated. Just make sure to stick with the same brand of dry or canned if you're sticking with brand food. Frequent brand switching can upset your dog's tummy.
Unfortunately, at this time there is no legal regulation by the Food and Drug Administration. However, AAFCO is a non-profit organization that helps set standards for the quality of the brand foods that we feed our pets. So if the brand food meets the AAFCO standards, it should be a great brand to consider for your fur kid.
CAUTION: Never feed your pets scraps from the table while you are eating or from the counter while you are cooking. If you decide to give them human food, include it as part of a meal, not just as a freebie from the table. Otherwise, you're teaching your pets to beg at the table and to counter-surf (searching and stealing food by putting their paws up on the table or counters or jumping up on the table or counters). These are unwanted behaviors that can be difficult to correct once established.
I hope you enjoy giving your dog the best quality food possible. Just remember - as long as they look and feel good is what truly matters!

Trump Replacing Nielsen with Toughest Cop on the Block (Report)
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen is headed for the door and will be leaving the Trump administration this week, President Trump announced on Twitter.
"Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen will be leaving her position, and I would like to thank her for her service," the president said in a pair of posts.
"I am pleased to announce that Kevin McAleenan, the current U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner, will become Acting Secretary for @DHSgov. I have confidence that Kevin will do a great job!" Trump added.
BizPac Review reports former acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement Thomas Homan previously regarded McAleenan as "probably one of the smartest guys I've ever worked with."
"He knows border issues, and he can hit the ground running," Homan told Fox News' Jon Scott on "Fox Report," Fox News reports. "He knows the border… he will start day one."
U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen will be leaving her position, President Donald Trump said on Twitter on Sunday https://t.co/bsI5RhudUg via @ReutersTV pic.twitter.com/RQKRCSRWlT
— Reuters Top News (@Reuters) April 8, 2019
Homan claimed that loopholes in the immigration system are motivating migrants to dangerously venture hundreds or thousands of miles to try and get to the U.S.
"We are enticing people to come," he said of the laws on the books, via BizPac Review. "We need to get Congress to fix the loopholes that cause these caravans to come. The numbers are up because half of Congress are for open borders."
And there's no mistaking that Homan is speaking about Democrats.
"They want to abolish ICE, they support sanctuary cities and they wonder why there is the massive numbers on the border?" he said. "Of course there's massive numbers on the border because we're enticing people to come."
Stressing that there are no consequences for crossing into the U.S. illegally, he said that McAleenan "will think outside the box."
"Kevin will put his foot on the gas," he insisted, while recognizing that in many ways his hands will be tied by Congress.
Nielsen took to Twitter after the president's announcement to clarify that she resigned from her post, providing Trump with a resignation letter earlier that afternoon.
"Its been an honor of a lifetime to serve with the brave men and women of @DHSgov. I could not be prouder of and more humbled by their service, dedication, and commitment to keep our country safe from all threats and hazards," Nielsen said in a pair of posts, accompanied by her resignation letter.
ABC News reports the resignation comes amid some public, though mostly private, frustrations between Nielsen and Trump. Citing an unnamed source, ABC News claims the president is holding Nielsen responsible for worsening border figures.
Nielsen was scheduled to meet with the president at 5 p.m. in the White House residence about border security, but sources told ABC News that the meeting turned into a discussion about Nielsen's future.
On her way back to Washington, D.C., from the border Friday, Nielsen called Trump asking to meet over the weekend about a path forward with regard to the border, a source close to Nielsen told ABC News.
The president had been refusing to believe Nielsen couldn't make the worsening border numbers go down herself and had been holding her personally responsible for the numbers, the source said.
This "led to intense clashes, angry phone calls, and frustration between her and the president," the source said.

Summary of "Oral health care for patients with Alzheimer's disease: An update."
Alzheimer's disease and related disorders (ADRD) are among the age-associated chronic conditions that are most challenging to health care systems around the globe, as patients with dementia require full-time, intensive care for multiple years. Oral health care is negatively impacted by cognitive decline, and consequently poor oral health is common among people with ADRD. Poor oral health status is linked with many undesirable consequences for the well-being of people with ADRD, from excruciating local pain to life-threatening conditions, as aspiration pneumonia. In this paper, the authors provide an update on the most current concepts about Alzheimer's disease epidemiology, etiology, and management, current oral health care for patients with Alzheimer's disease, oral health promotion strategies for this population, as well as current research and future direction for improving oral health care for patients with Alzheimer's disease. It concludes that oral health care should be included in the patient's routine health care as early as possible in the progression of Alzheimer's disease for preventing rapid oral health deterioration. Establishing oral hygiene routines and providing dental treatment that is customized to the patients' individual needs and disease stage are important to achieve good oral health outcomes and prevent quality of life decline.

In approximately nine months, a new City of San Diego ordinance will cap short-term vacation rentals in the city at 1% (with the exception of Mission Beach), removing thousands of homes from the short-term rental market. Courtesy photo
Where will San Diego's short-term rentals go?
CitiesDel MarEncinitasEscondidoNewsOceansideOceanside FeaturedRancho Santa FeSan DiegoSan MarcosSolana BeachVista
by Samantha Nelson March 15, 2022 March 15, 2022 9641
REGION — As San Diego prepares to implement its newly-approved 1% cap on short-term vacation rentals by the beginning of next year, many rental owners will face a choice of either renting out their units long-term, selling their units and cutting their losses, or looking to other cities without limits to start their business fresh.
Now that the California Coastal Commission has approved the cap — with the exception the cap is reviewed after seven years — the plan is for the city to implement the cap nine months following the commission's March 9 decision.
The new ordinance will cap non-hosted, whole-home units citywide at 1% of San Diego's homes, which will limit nearly the entire city to about 5,364 short-term vacation rentals. Due to its long history of vacation rentals, Mission Beach is the only exception. The city is implementing a 30% cap on the community or roughly 1,081 short-term rentals, leaving San Diego with about 6,445 short-term rentals altogether.
The cap will not apply to hosted units where the renter lives in the home and rents out a room.
There are an estimated 12,300 short-term rentals currently in San Diego. With the caps, the city will see a 48% reduction in short-term rentals city-wide and a 27% decrease in Mission Beach specifically.
The 1% cap is a substantial change for San Diego, which currently doesn't require permits or licenses for short-term vacation rentals, let alone a cap on how many are allowed. With the new cap, renters will need to get permits to operate their units through a lottery system. Units with a history of top performance will be chosen first.
Many residents throughout San Diego have been waiting for this cap for a long time.
"The city doesn't like the sheer amount of short-term vacation rentals because they can create problems like attracting loud partiers in the summer and leaving homes empty in the winter, creating these abandoned-looking neighborhoods," said Carmel Valley realtor Megan Eskey. "As the number of short-term rentals increase, the livability of a town goes down."

Eskey noted that with the number of short-term rentals dropping out of the market, many of those units would most likely be up for rent or sale. That many homes going back to the market is significant, she said.
"The numbers are so low per city in terms of how many houses go on market per month," she said. "If you suddenly or gradually bring thousands more properties forward for long-term rentals or homeowners, that would make a difference."
Still, Coastal Commission staff recognized that it is currently unclear how the cap will affect the city's housing stock considering that whole-home short-term rentals only take up about 2.5% of the city's overall housing stock. It was also noted that many homes, particularly those in the coastal areas, would not be considered affordable to rent or buy.
Simon Dang, who lives in Pacific Beach and rents out five units as short-term vacation rentals in neighboring Mission Beach, is skeptical about San Diego's new regulations actually working. Instead, he foresees the cap creating negative economic impacts.
"South Mission Beach is thriving because of short-term rentals," he said. "If they implement this cap, we're not going to have as many people visiting, we're not going to have as many people frequenting the businesses here."
Dang said he will likely only be able to continue renting out one of his five units as a short-term rental with the new cap and rent out the rest as long-term rentals. He noted this means he will have to cut his cleaning staff's hours as well.
With so many short-term rentals being forced out of San Diego, Eskey believes they will likely either sell their homes, rent them out long-term or consider moving to other nearby, desirable coastal cities. They may look to move to North County, where none of the coastal cities currently have a short-term rental cap.
Former Oceanside City Council member Shari Mackin is worried about the possibility of short-term rentals flooding the city following the cap's implementation, though she applauds the city of San Diego for finally moving forward with it.
Mackin said Oceanside has a long history of vacation rentals too, but things have changed over the years with more and more short-term rentals coming into town and seemingly taking over the coastal neighborhoods. Short-term rentals currently take up almost 2% of Oceanside's housing stock.
Unlike San Diego however, Oceanside has been regulating short-term rentals since 2019. Though there isn't a cap, the city requires permits for all non-hosted units. The city also has a code enforcement officer specifically designated to short-term rental rule enforcement, which Deputy City Manager Jonathan Borrego said has proven very effective for the city.
Still, Mackin and others believe Oceanside's short-term rental regulations aren't enough.
"What we're lacking is a cap," Mackin said. "Balance is key, and the only way to find balance is by putting a cap on it."
As the city continues to monitor the growth of short-term rentals and deliver biannual reports on the number of rentals, complaints and other updates on the program to the Oceanside City Council, Borrego said staff would revisit potentially implementing a cap if there is a significant increase in short-term rentals.
"We haven't really seen exponential growth in short-term rentals since the ordinance was adopted," Borrego said. "From the staff's perspective, we're pretty content with the program and the way it's been operating."
Mackin also wants to see deed restrictions placed on units along the city's transit corridors where more affordable housing is to be built. Earlier this year, City Council directed staff to bring forward a code amendment that would prohibit affordable housing projects from being used as short-term rentals.
Though San Diego's northern coastal cities may appeal to those short-term vacation renters who are forced out of San Diego, Eskey suggests they look at higher elevations rather than the coastline for new business.
San Diego County is now home to two of only 34 designated International Dark Sky Communities – Borrego Springs and Julian. According to Eskey, more short-term vacation rentals may be welcomed in Julian where astrotourism and stargazing can grow in popularity.
Renters could also make more in Julian during the winter months because of astrotourism's year-round season. Eskey also noted there would be fewer complaints from residents there due to space and less likelihood of rowdy parties.

Work for free at UoB! (or how to build a bad reputation…)
The University of Birmingham's senior management were out doing damage to the University's reputation yet again recently. Many of you may have seen the recent story in the Times Higher, Advert for unpaid research position withdrawn. This followed the decision by the University of Birmingham to advertise an 'Honorary' Research Assistant post in the School of Psychology. The duties for this post required candidates to be willing to "support a new clinical research study of mental illness in adolescents and young adults", to work for two days a week, and to have access to a motor vehicle.
The catch – the post was entirely unpaid!
In response, UCU rapidly issued a press release opposing these practices, on the grounds that it undermines the principle of equal pay and is discriminatory. Legal opinion reported in the Times Higher also pointed out that this might well fall foul of minimum wage legislation.
Never shy of performing remarkable U-turns in the light of media attention, the University of Birmingham quickly issued a statement claiming that it had decided to no longer proceed along this route of hyper-casualization. The statement read, "Although the Honorary Research Assistantships were conceived as training positions the University recognises that this was not clear and has, consequently, withdrawn the advertisement." BUCU will seek to continue to ensure that this extraordinarily concerning development of unpaid University work ceases to be considered acceptable.
Rather embarrassingly a note of the fiasco also appeared in the HE section of the THE's weekly roundup of news, where it stated that:
'… the advert disappeared after the University and College Union denounced it, joining critics including the science writer Ben Goldacre. The incident follows the furore over unpaid work for jobseekers, an issue that rose to prominence when Cait Reilly took legal action against the government after being forced to stack shelves unpaid at Poundland. You might think Birmingham was well placed to appreciate the pitfalls of unpaid work schemes: Ms Reilly is a recent Birmingham graduate.'
In the meantime, we have issued an open letter to the vice chancellor, in which we seek to clarify whether this unpaid post, and not just the advertisement for it, has been withdrawn. We also seek to ensure that anyone recruited to do this work is properly remunerated, and to ensure that no unpaid positions are created at the University of Birmingham.

The MB45 comes with two small and two large grab-n-go pouches with transparent windows plus two foam lined organizers with six dividers, all of which are completely removable or interchangeable within the main compartment. Taking advantage of every available inch of space for organization has allowed us to design a very slim and streamlined bag that will not hinder your movement, and even completely loaded will not sag or slip down your back. The front of the bag has two pockets – one upper and one lower, along with a quick access shove pouch with adjustable retention straps. On the rear of the backpack we've added two shoulder pads and a lumbar pad, each covered in 210 denier nylon to prevent accumulation of sweat and odor. The lumbar pad has a hidden compartment behind it for storing personal effects, or even paperwork. The front, sides, waist and shoulder straps are covered in modular webbing (MOLLE) loops, including a completely adjustable chest strap, radio mic loops and two D-rings. All exterior zippers have web pulls for easy operation with a gloved hand. Finally, each padded shoulder strap is completely adjustable and includes a quick-release buckle for safety in emergency situations. Comes complete with a limited lifetime warranty from Lightning X Products.


Thank you to everyone who attended CNJG's 2018 Annual Meeting and Holiday Luncheon. It was a pleasure seeing so many grantmakers in one room!
A foundation's mission, vision, and values are powerful tools that, when used most effectively, can guide everyday responsibilities, principal decisions, and needed changes. Our pre-meeting workshop and a keynote presentation featuring CNJG members focused on crucial areas of philanthropies' operations — grantmaking and beyond — to help you live out your mission.
CNJG Interim COO and Senior Director, Taft Communications, moderated the panel.
To help you gain the most from your foundation's core values, CNJG partnered with PEAK Grantmaking on a pre-meeting workshop where you explored how to align values with grantmaking practices through careful questioning, collaborative efforts, and sharing your foundation's story.
When everything clicks, grantmaking is just one expression of a foundation's values. In many other ways, you can fulfill your organization's aspirations and promote public confidence in how the philanthropic sector fulfills its critical work.
Pre-Meeting Workshop: "Walking the Talk: Putting Values-Based Grantmaking into Practice"
Translating values such as leadership, collaboration, inclusion, and innovation into practice can be a challenge for grantmakers. During the pre-meeting workshop, Michelle Greanias from PEAK Grantmaking took us through real-life scenarios, asked critical questions, and provided useful tools to examine internal practices. At the workshop, attendees completed exercises that helped them align foundation values with practices. This workbook is available to members, along with video footage and presentation slides, in the link below.
Walking the Talk: Putting Values-Based Grantmaking into Practice Presentations Materials (Members Only).
CNJG is partnering with PEAK Grantmaking to provide value-based grantmaker education as a three-part series. This series began with the 2018 Annual Meeting and Holiday Luncheon's pre-meeting workshop, and continues in early 2019 with two webinars, Incorporating Foundations' Top Values into Practice on January 17th and Learning for Impact on January 31st. Registration is now open for both webinars.

Haryana CM Khattar Does not Have Science's Help to Ban Similar-Gotra Marriages
Published by BRN Editor on January 11, 2020 January 11, 2020
Manohar Lal Khattar, the chief minister of Haryana, has stated the opposition of khap panchayats to marriages between folks of the identical gotra has a scientific foundation.
Khap panchayats – group management organisations usually organised alongside caste traces, have been identified to vigorously oppose same-gotra marriages within the villages of India's north and have usually advocated violence towards them as nicely.
Similar-gotra marriages are often known as intra-clan marriages (to not be confused with intra-caste marriages). All individuals who have descended patrilineally (i.e. from father to son) from a typical male ancestor are stated to belong to the identical gotra. One other equally common – however looser – definition identifies individuals who adopted one of many seven holiest sages of Hinduism, so these persons are sure extra by their ancestors' purported philosophical paths than by blood.
Both means, folks of the identical gotra are stated to type an exogamous unit: a coherent social group marrying inside which is taken into account incestuous. (However, intra-caste marriages are inspired.) Nevertheless, such a prohibition doesn't carry scriptural authority and subsequently lacks recognition in legal guidelines involved with Hindu traditions.
For instance, one panchayat convenor, Naresh Kadyan, had petitioned the Supreme Courtroom round 2010 to amend the Hindu Marriage Act of 1955 accordingly. The courtroom directed him to method the Delhi excessive courtroom as a substitute. When he did, nevertheless, the excessive courtroom summarily dismissed his petition in June 2010. In keeping with The Hindu's report from the time:
… when the Bench requested [Kadyan] to quote any Hindu scripture which bans marriage inside the identical gotra, the petitioner didn't quote any. Observing that the petitioner was losing the dear time of the courtroom, the bench stated when he couldn't substantiate his submission he shouldn't transfer a courtroom. … [The] trip bench of the courtroom, comprising Justice S. N. Dhingra and Justice A. Ok. Pathak, warned that it could impose a heavy price on him if he endured along with his preposterous argument.
The Supreme Courtroom has held that if two folks want to marry, they solely should be consenting adults.
Khattar's enchantment to science for the khap panchayats' stand is equally doubtful. For one, a wedding is a socio-cultural assemble that doesn't come up from scientific ideas, nor do these ideas intervene with sexual relations (however particular person medical circumstances) per se. Science itself, within the type of consanguinity, turns into concerned when two folks have sexual relations with a view to conceiving a baby.
A quantity referred to as the diploma of consanguinity is commonly used to outline the extent to which two persons are associated. It's calculated utilizing the variety of generations earlier than which the newest widespread ancestor of two folks seems. Amongst all animals, for instance, an inbred pressure – similar to a level of 0, the closest relationship – seems after 20 successive generations of inbreeding (i.e. sexual relations between brother and sister or mum or dad and offspring).
Among the many subset of people, and utilizing the primary definition of gotra: Most legal guidelines disallow marriages between folks whose diploma of consanguinity is 4 or decrease, which incorporates double first cousins, half first-cousins, aunts and uncles, nephews and nieces, half-siblings, grandparents and grandchildren, sibling cousins, siblings (brothers and sisters), mum or dad and offspring, equivalent twins and all folks with an inbred pressure.
Mathematically, a level of 4 means two folks had a typical ancestor not less than 4 generations in the past and have had no widespread ancestors since. A level of 10 means that they had a typical ancestor round 9 generations in the past and no widespread ancestors since.
Within the realm of scientific genetics, consanguinity shouldn't be beneficial as a result of the offspring of two folks with comparable near-ancestors is more likely to inherit a dangerous gene and is much less probably to have the ability to combat off organic threats because of their decrease genetic range (a.ok.a. the founder impact).
Nevertheless, a union is alleged to be consanguineous if the 2 folks have a level of consanguinity of 6 or decrease, i.e. excluding third cousins and fourth cousins. However on the stage of a fourth cousin, the diploma of consanguinity nears 10; when two persons are half-fourth cousins, the diploma is so low that they could as nicely be genetic strangers.
All collectively, because the gotra system operates with a a lot looser definition of what constitutes an exogamous clan in comparison with the scientific in addition to authorized definition of consanguinity, and due to the way in which the diploma of consanguinity is outlined, Khattar's deference to scientific authority doesn't maintain up besides with a really small variety of circumstances.
Even then, offering premarital counselling and preconception genetic counselling, which is turning into more and more extra inexpensive, can have higher and extra harmonious outcomes than an ill-founded and paranoid blanket ban towards marriages or requires intra-clan {couples} to be killed.

Mutations in the fission yeast silencing factors clr4+ and rik1+ disrupt the localisation of the chromo domain protein Swi6p and impair centromere function

Transcriptional silencing is known to occur at centromeres, telomeres and the mating type region in the nucleus of fission yeast, Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Mating-type silencing factors have previously been shown also to affect transcriptional repression within centromeres and to some extent at telomeres. Mutations in the clr4+, rik1+ and swi6+ genes dramatically reduce silencing at certain centromeric regions and cause elevated chromosome loss rates. Recently, Swi6p was found to co-localise with the three silent chromosomal regions. Here the involvement of clr4+, rik1+ and swi6+ in centromere function is investigated in further detail. Fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) was used to show that, as in swi6 mutant cells, centromeres lag on late anaphase spindles in clr4 and rik1 mutant cells. This phenotype is consistent with a role for these three gene products in fission yeast centromere function. The Swi6 protein was found to be delocalised from all three silent chromosomal regions, and dispersed within the nucleus, in both clr4 and rik1 mutant cells. The phenotypic similarity observed in all three mutants is consistent with the products of both the clr4+ and rik1+ genes being required to recruit Swi6p to the centromere and other silent regions. Mutations in clr4, rik1 and swi6 also result in elevated sensitivity to reagents which destabilise microtubules and show a synergistic interaction with a mutation in the beta-tubulin gene (nda3). These observations suggest that clr4+ and rik1+ must play a role in the assembly of Swi6p into a transcriptionally silent, inaccessible chromatin structure at fission yeast centromeres which is required to facilitate interactions with spindle microtubules and to ensure normal chromosome segregation.

Researchers uncover the science behind blowing bubbles
by New York University
What exactly happens when you blow on a soap film to make a bubble? Behind this simple question about a favorite childhood activity is some real science, researchers at New York University have found.
In a series of experiments replicating bubble blowing, NYU's Applied Math Lab has discovered two ways in which bubbles can be made: one, by pushing with a steady but strong wind on a soap film through a circular wand, which causes it to grow into a bubble, and two, by pushing with a gentle wind on an already-inflated film in order to drive its further growth.
"This second method might explain how we often blow bubbles as kids: a quick puff bends the film outward and thereafter the film keeps growing even as the flow of air slows," says Leif Ristroph, an assistant professor at NYU's Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences who led the study.
The first method is more intuitive, but less common.
"This is used by the bubble blowers we see in parks in the summertime," explains Ristroph. "They simply walk, sufficiently fast, it seems, with a soapy loop of rope, which provides the relative wind needed to stretch out the film."
The results, reported in the journal Physical Review Letters, point to potential applications in consumer products that contain bubbles or droplets, such as sprays, foams, and emulsions, which are combinations of unmixable liquids.
The paper's other researchers were Likhit Ganedi, an NYU undergraduate at the time of the work and now a graduate student at Carnegie Mellon University, Anand Oza, a postdoctoral fellow at the time of the research and now a professor at the New Jersey Institute of Technology, and Michael Shelley, a professor at the Courant Institute.
As a physics problem, blowing bubbles is a question of how a liquid film—typically soapy water—interacts with an imposed flow of an external fluid, which is air in the case of bubble blowing. This dynamic is crucial in understanding how to enhance industrial production of many chemical products.
To break down the science that explains this process—i.e., what events precede the formation of bubbles—the researchers created an experiment, replicating the blowing of bubbles, using oil films suspended in flowing water and pushed through a wire loop wand.
"Working with water instead of air has many advantages in terms of controlling, measuring, and seeing flows," Ristroph explains. "This is the trick that made these experiments possible."
Their experimental observations, combined with predictions drawn from mathematical models, allowed the researchers to understand the forces that produced the resulting film shapes.
Their findings give a precise recipe or set of instructions for how to blow bubbles—and with it, related production processes.
"We can now say exactly what wind speed is needed to push out the film and cause it to form a bubble, and how this speed depends on parameters like the size of the wand," explains Ristroph.

Big or small, custom crafted cottage signs can prove to be great address markers. When your guests are looking to find your cottage or cabin, there are some important details to think about to ensure your sign is getting the job done. When the expert signmakers here at The Sign Depot created The SCHWANS sign in the image above, the following three items were considered.
A large font is always a good choice. If the font is too small it will be difficult to read from a distance. When it comes to address markers for your cottage/cabin it is better to be seen and not passed by.
When finishing a cottage sign, choosing colours that create contrast assist with increasing visibility. In this case, the bright letters stand out much better against the dark background. This is also important for wayfinding purposes.
This wood sign was sandblasted. This means the wood was carved into to create the background leaving the letters raised and creating dimension in the sign, once again increasing visibility of your sign.
If the above three items are considered when designing a cottage sign and/or address marker, you are certain to find the results you are looking for. Plus you can rest easy knowing that your visitors will be able to find you.
There are lots of other ways to customize a cottage sign to your personal taste. When you choose to have a custom sign shop create your cottage sign possiblities are endless. Read more about it on our post about the Advantages Of Working With A Custom Sign Shop.

'We Will Not Be Silenced!' American TV Comics Stand Firm Against Paris Attack
7:47 AM PST, January 8, 2015 - Inside Edition
The late night comics are turning serious, moved by the brutal murders of the French cartoonists, guys just like them.
Jon Stewart said, "They were killed for their cartoons."
Conan O'Brien said on his show, "All of us are terribly sad for the families of the victims, for the people of France, and for anyone in the world tonight who now has to think twice before making a joke."
On Jimmy Kimmel's show, Bill Maher said he takes the attack personally.
"We should be able to insult whatever we want. That is what free speech is like," said Maher.
Large gatherings in the USA paid tribute to the slain humorists who worked for the satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo. They held signs reading: "Je Suis Charlie," translating to, "I am Charlie."
In Paris, huge crowds marched defiantly proclaiming: "Not afraid."
Heavily armed police searched the French countryside for the wanted terrorists police say were responsible for the attack: Said Kouachi and his brother Cherif Koucahi.
Cherif appears in a 2005 French TV documentary when he was an aspiring rapper.
When the brothers forced their way into the Charlie Hebdo offices at 11:30 a.m., they found the staff at the morning editiorial meeting. The gunmen called out specific editors and cartoonists by name and shot them execution style.
Jean Cabut was a reknowned cartoonist. Bernard Verlhac and Georges Wolinski were also veteran satirists.
The death toll reached 12.
Analysts say the brothers must have received military training somewhere. They were wearing special gloves to steady their aim.
NYPD counter - terrorism Chief John Miller said at a press conference, "Conduct themselves in a way that indicates that they have either been trained for this or have operated in a war zone somewhere else in the world before."
A tight precise cluster of bullet holes in a police car windshield is another indication of training.
Connecticut students Nicole Keklik, LeAnne Walter and Jessica Sola are in Paris for a two-study program. They were told to stay on lockdown in the immediate aftermath of the shootings.
Sola told INSIDE EDITION, "We were advised to stay off the streets, stay off the metro, stay out of any highly-populated area. So, we just followed instructions and we waited to hear more."
Hear More From Nicole, LeAnne and Jessica.
The surviving staff at Charlie Hebdo vow that they will not be silenced. They plan to publish the magazine next week on schedule.

Millennials Spend More Time With Mobile, Impacts TV Time
by Gavin O'Malley @mp_gavin, February 5, 2015
That millennials are mobile crazy has been well established. How this obsessive behavior is affecting their broader media habits is less understood.
New research now suggests that the mobile myopia of 18- to-34-year-olds is clearly cutting into their time with other media channels.
Today, 77% of this closely watched generation use a smartphone daily, according to new findings from Millward Brown Digital. That far exceeds the mobile habits even of Gen Xers — 60% of whom check their smartphone daily.
Rather than multitasking, however, millennials appear to be spending significantly less time with their TV and computers. On a daily basis, 77% are watching TV compared to 86% of Gen Xers, and whopping 91% of Baby Boomers, MBD found.
Meanwhile, 58% of millennials are firing up their laptops or desktops at least once a day, compared to 67% of Gen Xers and 71% of Boomers.
Joline McGoldrick, research director at Millward Brown Digital, said the findings have clear implications for marketers.
"With such marked differences across generations, marketers need to ensure that their … investments match their audience's screen preference," McGoldrick notes in the new report.
Mobile use appears to have limits even among millennials, however. According to MBD, all demographics prefer bigger screens when sitting down for tasks that require more than 10 minutes of their time.
Worldwide, advertisers will spend $64.25 billion on mobile this year — up 60% compared with 2014 — by eMarketer's estimate. By 2018, the research firm posits, advertisers will shell out $158.5 billion on mobile, or about 22% of all ad spending.
For its findings, MBD surveyed more than 1,000 respondents in the U.S. who reported owning or having access to a smartphone or tablet. Generation X encompasses adults ages 35 to 50, and the boomer generation consists of adults 51 to 69.

3 comments about "Millennials Spend More Time With Mobile, Impacts TV Time".
Bleeding Obvious from Sugary Truths, February 6, 2015 at 10:14 a.m.
So, we've worked out that younger people use their phones more, and correlates with them using other devices less. I'm speachless.
Ed Papazian from Media Dynamics Inc, February 6, 2015 at 3:09 p.m.
Breaking news!!! "Millennials"---the 18-34s----have always been less frequent viewers of TV than those over 35. The reason is obvious. Younger adults have less time to devote to TV and a higher proportion of TV fare is of little or no interest to them. That was true in 1965 as well as 2015. The finding that 77% of the 18-34s surveyed claimed to watch one or more TV shows per day, compared to somewhat higher claims by older respondents is hardly earth shattering, nor does it suggest that advertisers need to switch to mobile phone advertising as they may not be able to get their messages to millennials via TV anymore. The average 18-34-year old watches about 25-26 hours of "linear TV" a week. That gives advertisers plenty of avenues for reaching them the old fashioned way. This doesn't mean that mobile hasn't value to offer---it does. But instead of scaring advertisers into shifting dollars from one media venue to anothe, based on presumed gains or losses in audience tonnage, each medium should sell itself based on what benefits it, specifically, has to offer.
Long Ellis from Tetra TV, February 6, 2015 at 5:03 p.m.
Perhaps the best strategy for Millennials, or anyone for that matter, is to reach them with the appropriate TV content and then re-target them on their mobile devices after the initial TV exposure. This will add frequency to an advertiser's TV campaign, which can be difficult to achieve with light viewers. The combination of TV and mobile is a trend that is growing very quickly. Using multiple screens is an effective strategy for any demo category.

Best Fax Apps For IPhone
Updated Nov, 01 2022, 6:30:00 AM
There was a time when a fax machine was the only technological device through which you could communicate with
There was a time when a fax machine was the only technological device through which you could communicate with a friend or colleague based in a different city or far-off location. While fax machines are not used extensively today, there are times when you are required to get digital documents faxed.
Today, you do not necessarily need a fax machine to fax a document to somebody. If you have an iPhone, you can use one of the many fax apps to complete this task.
Here are some of the best apps that can turn your iPhone into a fax machine:
Fax – The Most Convenient Fax App for iPhone
The name of the app says it all. If you are looking for an app that comes with simple features and offers a no-fuss approach to getting documents faxed, this would be the right app for you to use. Using this app, you can get a document faxed to 90 different countries.
It comes with a high-quality document scanner that ensures every detail on different documents is represented correctly. You have the option of previewing a document before sending it across to somebody.
Fax Free – The Best Free Fax App for iPhone
Fax Free is an advanced app that enables you to get documents faxed domestically and internationally for free. This particular fax app comes with a scanner app integrated into it. The image processing feature allows you to make suitable edits to the document.
It also helps you put documents together using images from your iPhone's memory. While using this app, you do not need the support of any fax machine or phone line. Whether you want to send an official document or just a schedule to somebody, this app will help you out.
Easy Fax – The Best Add Free Fax App for iPhone
While there are many free fax apps, most feature ads that can be bothersome for many users. You will not have to go through such an inconvenience when you use this particular app. It offers you a plethora of interesting features and does not show ads.
This app enables you to fax a document while you are traveling or on the move. Apart from documents, you can also fax images saved on your iPhone. The integrated document scanner offers you color enhancement and auto corner detection.
TurboFax – The Best Paid Fax App for iPhone
While the TurboFax app allows you to fax your first page for free, you will have to get a subscription or a package to fax more pages. You shouldn't mind paying for this app as it comes with the kind of premium features that make investing in it a good idea.
Whether you want to fax a document domestically or to another country, you will have to pay the same price. The pricing is quite reasonable and getting a long-term subscription would be advisable. While scanning a document, you must ensure it is well-lit and in good condition.
Fax Burner - The Best iPhone Fax App for Receiving and Sending Fax
If you are looking for an app that can do a good job at receiving and sending fax, Fax Burner would be the best option. You can try out most of the features on this at zero cost. You can use it to fax digital documents without going through the hassle of getting them printed.
While no hidden costs are associated with this app, the free version has certain limitations. You will receive a maximum of 25 pages monthly and a fax of 5 pages in a particular month. To get more work done, you must upgrade to this app's premium version.
Fax for iPhone – The Best Fax App for Faxing Multiple Documents
While some fax apps are good for scanning and faxing individual documents, they falter while handling multiple files. Fax for iPhone, however, is an app designed to fax multiple documents simultaneously.
It enables you to scan multiple documents quickly and fax them in one go. If a fax doesn't go through because of a technical issue, the app will make an attempt to send it again on its own. The app requires minimal human effort and that's one of the reasons behind its popularity.
JotNotFax – The Best Fax App for iPhone with a Built-In Scanner
Many fax apps require the use of third-party apps to scan documents. The JotNotFax app does not require you to do so. What's truly unique about the app is that it enables you to have your own distinctive fax number.
To receive or fax a document, you can use your own fax number. Whenever you receive a fax, you will get a notification. You can register with the app for free and sync it to multiple devices, including your iPhone and iPad.
An iPhone is one of the most versatile devices you can use. Among other things, it has made receiving and sending faxes much more convenient. You can choose from a wide range of free and paid apps on the App store.
