Tax incentives are in addition to the favorable business climate. Investors can benefit from tax and non-tax incentives, according to the type of activity they undertake. Examples of activities eligible for corporate tax exemption and other tax advantages include those in the R&D field, advanced technology training, the development of local suppliers in advance technology training and technical assistance and others.

Investors interested in registering a company in Thailand should receive the advice of our Thai company formation specialists, as the incorporation process requires several mandatory steps.
Our company formation specialists can offer you assistance in choosing a legal entity suitable to your investment plans, such as:
• limited liability company;
• public limited company;
• branch office;
• representative office.
Steps for opening a company in Thailand
The list below includes the main requirements that have to be met when setting up a company in Thailand; our company incorporation specialists can offer extensive assistance on all the stages of company incorporation:
Choosing the company type and an original name: investors will choose the suitable type of company, a private or public legal entity and select an original name; a name check can be performed beforehand.
Opening a bank account: this is a mandatory step as the needed minimum share capital will be deposited here.
Draw up the company's constitutive documents: the Articles of Incorporation and Articles of Association or Bylaws are the constitutive documents of a limited company.
Register the business: all companies are registered with the Department of Business Development and with the Revenue Department for tax purposes.
Obtain any other needed licenses: sector-specific licenses will be needed in Thailand and our team of lawyers can help you apply for these with the corresponding authorities.
Some of the steps explained above are similar to the steps for opening a company in Japan, for example, but if you need assistance in forming a company in Japan we can recommend our Japanese partners who will handle the entire company formation process.
Our local company formation specialists have an extensive experience in company formation cases and can give you an insight into the local business environment and on the current legal framework. We can also help you with the subsequent steps following the actual business and tax registration of the business. Included here are the requirements for hiring employees.

Conditions for company registration in Thailand
Registering a company in Thailand is not an overly complicated process and there are two important documents that you should consider, in order to properly start this procedure: the Memorandum of Association and the Articles of Association. The Thai Ministry of Commerce is in charge of the company registration process in the country. The registration of a company in Thailand will take up to three days, and the following documents need to be prepared and signed by the authorized executives:
• articles of association;
• business form statement;
• the list of the company's shareholders;
• payment confirmation of share capital;
• company name reservation form;
• certification registration form of the limited company;
• notes and records regarding the statutory meeting.
Below, we list the main steps for the formation of a corporation in Thailand:
the company name: businesses must have a unique name, one that does not include certain terms.
the Memorandum: this includes the name of the company, its objectives, and the region in which it will activate as well as statements from the shareholders and other details.
the constitutive meeting: this is held by the shareholders after the registration for the purpose of adopting the Memorandum of Association.
the actual registration: the application is submitted to the Ministry of Commerce once the Memorandum is complete and the documents are prepared.
tax registration: companies are required to register with the tax authorities and, depending on revenue, for VAT purposes.
Please remember that the actual company formation steps and the requirements regarding the minimum share capital or VAT registration differ according to the chosen type of company. This list only includes the main information for the registration of a private limited company.
No matter the type of business you wish to have in the country, it is recommended to ask for help and guidance from our specialists in company registration in Thailand.
Average fees for company registration in Thailand
Companies with foreign management in Thailand need to obtain a foreign business license before involving in any activities. Only three shareholders are necessary in order to register a Thai limited company. Regarding the registration, the foreign investors will pay some fees at the Business Development Department in Thailand within the Ministry of Commerce, such as:
the registration fee: this can be calculated as per the registered capital; however, a minimum fee is around 500 THB
the minimum share capital: this will differ according to the type of legal entity that is being incorporated.
stamp duty: this can vary and it will apply on several documents needed for incorporation; it can be around 400 THB.
the fee for registering any types of changes to the company particulars is 20 Baht for each registration;
the fee for the issuance of a Business Registration Certificate Substitute is 30 baht for each copy; the same fee applies for a request to make certified copies of documents related to business registration;
registration certificate fee: a subsequent fee can apply for the registration certificate for companies.
others: some other costs can include those related to specimen signatures, statements made by directors and others; the fees here will vary according to the tariffs of the law firm or the services requested.
There is no charge for VAT registration in Thailand. This list of registration fees and initial costs is only an estimated one and we do recommend that investors verify if there have been any recent updates to the practiced fees.
A company must be registered within 30 days from its starting date and, accordingly, in the event of liquidation, the process must take place within 30 days from the date of liquidation. In the event in which the commercial registration certificate is lost, this must be notified and a replacement requested within 30 days. The company founders are the ones who are expected to follow through with these procedures and deadlines.
The company must also obtain a tax ID number from the Revenue Department within 60 days of its incorporation or the same amount of time after the start of its operations. One of our agents who specialize in Thai company formation can give entrepreneurs more details about this particular requirement as well as that related to the registration for VAT purposes according to the annual revenue of the business.
The business registration certificate
A company registered in Thailand is required to display its business registration certificate in an open and visible place in the office. If this certificate is lost, the company operator will apply for a business certificate substitute within 30 days from the loss of the original document. This too shall be put on display in a visible area in the office.
Any changes that occur regarding the company after its initial registration will be reported to the Business Registration Office within 30 days of any such occurrence.
After registration, the company may display a business name board on the front side of its main office and any branch offices within 30 days from the registration date. The board will include the Thai characters in a legible manner, and it may or may not include foreign-language characters, such as the name of the business in English. The inscribed name must correspond with the name of the business registration certificate and the name of any branch will include the word "branch" after the name.
Any business owners who fail to register their company according to law, those who offer false company particulars as well as those who fail to present themselves for the inquiries programmed by the Registrar of Businesses (or fail to give information as needed for inspection) are liable for a fine of no more than 2,000 Baht and in those cases in which their offence is a continuous one, they are also liable to a daily fine with a rate of no more than 100 Baht until they can show that they meet all of the requirements under the company registration laws.
Other fines apply for noncompliance with the Business Registration Act in Thailand and these two are expressed in a maximum one-time fine or daily fine until the wrongdoing is corrected. Our team of Thai company formation agents can provide you with more details about the applicable fines and can offer proper counsel and guidance so that you may avoid these.
Legal entities in Thailand
When investors decide to open a company in Thailand, they can choose from several legal entities. Our specialists in company registration in Thailand can offer you guidance in choosing a certain type of business entity, according to the value you want to invest in the company and to the risks you want to assume as an investor.
The private limited liability company requires having a minimum of 3 shareholders and a director. The founders must be Thai or foreign individuals and each founder must own at least one share of the company
The public limited company must have a minimum of 15 shareholders and while there are no nationality restrictions, more than half of the company founders must be Thai residents. For this company, at least 50% of the number of shares mentioned in the Memorandum of Association must be made public.
The branch office in Thailand is considered a permanent establishment in Thailand and will be treated as such. The needed minimum share capital upon incorporation will depend on the period of time during which the branch will operate in Thailand (less than three years or more). When the branch will be active for three years or more, at least 25% of the capital will be remitted during the first three months.
The representative office can have 100% foreign ownership; this entity is not taxed with corporate taxes in Thailand, however, it and cannot provide commercial services and cannot derive income in the country.
All companies in Thailand must observe the principles for taxation as well as the accounting, filing and auditing requirements. The Financial Reporting Standards are the ones used by companies in order to prepare their financial statements.
If you need further information on how to start a company in Thailand, please contact our company incorporation specialists, who can provide you with adequate assistance in choosing a legal entity that will best fit your interests; our specialists can help you throughout all the stages of the incorporation process and can offer you related services, such as the opening of a virtual office or accounting services for your company.

We assist companies in preparing annual financial statements and with relevant bookkeeping and the payment of taxes. Upon request, we also offer interim financial reports and analyses.

Our team can also help foreigners interested in moving to Thailand obtain long-term visas or other types of visas depending on their particular situations. We can handle the entire visa application procedure from helping you gather the necessary documents to submitting them with the responsible institution. Asian investors interested in expanding their businesses in Europe, for example in Slovenia or in Switzerland, can receive specialized assistance from our partners: Firmengründung Agentur in der Schweiz.
Other aspects concerning the incorporation of a Thai company
One of the key aspects when opening a successful enterprise in Thailand is to make sure you comply with the provisions of the Government regarding the business visa in this country. The Thai non-immigrant B visa allows foreign investors to open a company in this country. If your business plans extend on more than one year you can change the B visa for a long term visa.
If you want to reach the Thai public with your products it is also useful to invest as well in advertising. It is important to make sure that your brand and logo are in compliance with the Thai intellectual property law and, at the same time, that your messages are relevant for the Thai public.
It is also significant to choose a location for your enterprise which grants you visibility on the Thai market. It is also very popular among foreign investors to employ due diligence services in order to evaluate a property at the right value and to prevent unpleasant situations.
Another important issue is to observe all of the requirements for tax registration, tax reporting and, when applicable, those for VAT registration in Thailand.
Corporate taxation in Thailand
Companies in Thailand are subject to a set of taxes that include the corporate income tax, the business tax, the stamp duty, and the value-added tax. The excise tax and the petroleum income tax are also applicable taxes that are governed by special Acts, the Excise Act, and the Petroleum Income Tax Act, respectively. All other taxes are governed by the Revenue Code. One of our agents who specialize in Thai company formation can give you complete details about the provisions of the relevant Codes and Acts.
A difference between the taxation of locally registered companies and branches of foreign companies is that resident companies are taxed on their worldwide income while foreign companies are taxed on the profits they derive from a Thai source. Petroleum companies in Thailand are subject to a higher tax, 50% of their net profits.
The tax year is generally the calendar year (ending on December 31st) but it can be any 12-month period. A tax year shorter than 12 months is only allowed in the company's first year after incorporation, in the year of its dissolution or when a change in the accounting method applies.
Companies are required to file self-assessed annual corporate income tax returns no later than 150 days after the end of the accounting period. The sale filing requirement also applies to foreign companies. Fines apply for late filing as well as inaccurate filing.
Foreign companies doing business in Thailand are subject to the corporate income tax rate, including but not limited to when carrying out the respective business under a double tax treaty. Businessmen who would like to invest in another Asian country, can rely on our experts who can offer reliable company incorporation services in India.
Some company expenses related to earning income in the country are deductive and include donations (with a certain limit), entertainment expenses (up to 0.3% of the paid-up capital or the gross revenue – the one that is higher but only up to 10 million THB), employer contributions made to the provident fund, losses, depreciation and others. Special deductions can apply to research and development expenditure, as much as an additional one of up to 200% under certain conditions.

2. Does the company have to be registered in Thailand?
When an investor registers a company in Thailand then the business must provide an address from this country.

3. How can I open a bank account in Thailand?

The process is easy; you only have to provide a passport and several documents concerning the legal structure that you intend to register in this country. Our experts in company formation in Thailand can offer more details on how the documentation must be prepared and they can help you speed up the process of opening a bank account.
4. What are the steps for company incorporation in Thailand?
The first step of company incorporation in Thailand is to make a name reservation so that you can be sure that your future enterprise will have a definite identity on the market. Afterwards you must address a notary in order to elaborate the articles of association for the enterprise, a document which contains the mission and purpose of a company as well as the responsibilities of the board. These files must be submitted through an application to the Business Development Office (BDO), which is the authority which deals with the registration of new companies.
5. What is the minimum share capital in Thailand?
The minimum share capital required for the opening of a new company is 1 million baht. You can deposit even more capital if you consider it to be necessary for the projects you have in mind. The Articles of Association must contain as well the amount you have deposited as initial capital.
6. What are the documents required for company registration in Thailand?
The documents which contain the most important information about the company are the Articles of Association. This document is a condensed statement about the business activity and the structure in which the company has been organized. The registration documents need to contain the following information:
the reserved name for the company;
the address where the company will be located;
the registered capital;
the payment of the registration tax;
eventual VAT registration for companies who are liable for the payment of this tax.
Copies over the passports or IDs of each director are also necessary for registration along a copy over the housing registration for the company, which can provide the address of the enterprise.
7. How long does it take to register a company in Thailand?
Now business registration takes more than three days in Thailand. Moreover, if you need to obtain your registration in one day, this is possible for urgent situations. Our experts in company incorporation can explain to you in detail all the options you have to speed up the company registration process in Thailand.
8. Do I need special permits and licenses in Thailand?
Depending on the domain of activity of your company you might need to address the authorities in Thailand in order to obtain a special permit or licence. Restaurants, companies offering medical services or educational services are only a few examples of enterprises who need to apply for a special license in Thailand.
9. What are the taxes that I have to pay in Thailand?
The conditions in which income tax in Thailand is levied are very advantageous. There are several levels of gradation for investors, from 0% for earnings less than 150.000 Baht, up to 30% for revenues over 4 million Baht. The VAT in Thailand is levied at the flat rate of 7% with the exception of certain business areas which benefit of VAT tax exemption. For most of the companies the corporate tax is of 20%, but smaller companies benefit from gradually lower rates.
10. Why should I invest in Thailand?
Not only Thailand is one of fastest rising economies but also the government encourages foreign investment through periodical incentives. The life conditions in Thailand abundant in opportunities are also an important argument to choose this country as your place of investment.
Obtain Information about Thai Companies
If you are a foreign investor interested in doing business with a company in the Land of Smiles, it is important that you research and obtain the appropriate information about the Thai company you will be dealing with. Obtaining information about Thai companies is also crucial when you intend to establish joint ventures or partnerships in the country, or to know if it is worth it to pursue legal action after an issue has come up with a company in Thailand.
The Department of Business Development (DBD) in Thailand from within the Ministry of Commerce is a reliable source of information where you can obtain data on the history of a Thai company. The DBD is the principal regulatory authority when it comes to company registration in Thailand, being the main government entity that local, as well as foreign investors doing business in the country have to deal with.
The DBD in Thailand is responsible for regulating and imposing laws such as:
• The Civil and Commercial Code (the legislation on partnerships and private limited companies);
• The Public Limited Companies Act;
• The Chambers of Commerce Act;
• The Commercial Registration Act;
• The Accounting Act;
• Other legislation. A Thailand lawyer can provide more detailed information on what this legislation consists of and can help you when setting up a company in Thailand.

Verbier Ski Holidays
Freeriding in in Mont-Gelé © Yves Garneau
Linked to the largest ski area in Switzerland, the 4 Vallées, Verbier ski holidays offer everything to delight skiers and snowboarders of all levels. But to really get the most from Verbier, you should be prepared to push your limits.
Quick Transfer Time
Switzerland's Best Ski Resort 2019 is a freeride paradise, so you might want to consider somewhere else if you enjoy endless flat, cruising runs. Here, you'll find steep, deep, high-alpine terrain best suited to intermediate and expert skiers and snowboarders.
The ski area is split over some of the highest peaks in Europe, which can feel a bit fractured at times, but most of the terrain is lift-accessible with no long hikes, and once you get amongst the good stuff you'll see why Verbier is so renowned in the ski community.
The resort base at 1,500m means a high chance of abundant snow from November to April and there's more to the piste map than first meets the eye. Look out for the yellow off-piste itinerary runs - named runs which are neither groomed nor patrolled - or hire a mountain guide to get off the beaten track.
Aside from downhill, the area is known for backcountry ski touring, heli-skiing and cross-country skiing and there are plenty of ways to enjoy nature off skis too. Hiking (with or without snowshoes), dog sledding, horse sleigh rides and even one of the longest bobsled runs in Switzerland offer the chance for fun moments off the slopes with family or friends.
The town itself, while not perfect for non-skiers, is beautiful to walk around with plenty of excellent restaurants and bars. Famous for its lively evenings, Verbier is proud of its many après-ski venues, clubs and events. During Freeride Week, the High Five and above all the Verbier Xtreme, the mountains become a bit rowdier.
It's not all about partying though, Verbier should also be explored through its authentic heritage. Don't miss a visit to the Bagnes Museum, followed by an excellent raclette or a gourmet meal.
Luke Dorking
Switzerland Product Manager
"An internationally renowned resort, Verbier is one of the best in the world for steep, deep, off-piste terrain. Ski hard - party hard. Verbier in a nutshell. Quite literally one of the best ski resorts in the world."

September 22, 2012 marks the first day that political signs for the upcoming November 6, 2012 General Municipal Election can be posted in the City of Thousand Oaks. All political signs must be taken down no later than November 13, 2012. The term "political sign" refers to signs created prior to an election to advise or identify a candidate, campaign issue, election proposition, or other related matters.

Issue 53 Magazine & Vinyl Bundle
This month's lead feature focuses on the vibrant underground music scene of 1980s Berlin, beginning with David Bowie's 'Lodger' album, the final part of his Berlin Trilogy, and ending with the fall of the Berlin Wall in the last days of the decade.
It's the story of a city on the edge, a place where the music fused electronics, post-punk angst and industrial power drills, where most of the artists were drugged up way beyond their eyeballs, and where everybody lived in fear that the Cold War was going to turn nuclear red hot at any moment. Our witness accounts come from Mania D and Malaria! legend Gudrun Gut, Einstürzende Neubauten man Alexander Hacke, The Birthday Party's Mick Harvey and Crime & The City Solution's Simon Bonney, as well as Berlin ace face Mark Reeder – manager, promoter, producer and uniform fetishist – whose antics attracted the attention of the East German secret police.
We've got tons of other great stuff elsewhere in the issue, including a piece on 'STUMM 433', a fantastic boxset of interpretations of John Cage's '4' 33″' on Mute, as well as interviews with Erland Cooper, Telex, Popul Vuh, Howard Jones, Ela Orleans, Leafcutter John, Barrie and Jan St Werner from Mouse On Mars. Plus, of course, our columnists Jack Dangers, Kris Needs, Fat Roland and Synthesiser Dave, and a right royal feast of new album reviews. Be sure you don't miss out!
Limited Edition Seven-Inch Single: MALARIA! 'YOUR TURN TO RUN' / GUDRUN GUT 'BOYS KEEP SWINGING'
Our latest mag+vinyl bundle seven-inch time travels from West Berlin in 1982 to the present day and then loops back around to 1979, all thanks to Gudrun Gut. Side A features the classic 1982 Malaria! underground hit 'Your Turn To Run', a sparse electronic call to arms from a band at the very heart of Berlin's early 1980s scene. On the other side of the disc is Gudrun Gut's recent solo rendition of David Bowie's 'Boys Keep Swinging' from 'Lodger', the last of his Berlin Trilogy albums. Miss this one at your peril!

Q: Show that (p ⇒ q) ⇒ (r ⇒ s) ⇐⇒ (p ⇒ r) ⇒ (q ⇒ s) is a tautology?(without truth table) Show that  $(p ⇒ q) ⇒ (r ⇒ s) ⇐⇒ (p ⇒ r) ⇒ (q ⇒ s)$   is a tautology?
I am having a little trouble in proving this proofs without truth tables
the idea for solve this question is to work out left side and right side separately, trying to match the result.but i can't match the result :(
I have tried:
left side:
1. $(p ⇒ q) ⇒ (r ⇒ s)$
2. $(¬p ∨ q) ⇒ (¬r ∨ s)$
3. $¬(¬p ∨ q) ∨ (¬r ∨ s)$
4. $(p ∧ ¬q) ∨ (¬r ∨ s)$
5. $[(p ∧ ¬q) ∨ ¬r] ∨ s$
6. $[(p ∨ ¬r) ∧ (¬q ∨ ¬r)] ∨ s$

right side:
1. $(p ⇒ r) ⇒ (q ⇒ s)$
2. $(¬p ∨ r) ⇒ (¬q ∨ s)$
3. $¬(¬p ∨ r) ∨ (¬q ∨ s)$
4. $(p ∧ ¬r) ∨ (¬q ∨ s)$
5. $[(p ∧ ¬r) ∨ ¬q] ∨ s$
6. $[(p ∨ ¬q) ∧ (¬r ∨ ¬q)] ∨ s$
however don't see where this will help me. I don't really know how to go on from her.
any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

A: Suppose $p, r, s$ are F, and $q$ is T.
Then $(p \to q) \to (r \to s)$ is T
And $(p \to r) \to (q \to s)$ is F
So on that valuation, $((p \to q) \to (r \to s)) \leftrightarrow ((p \to r) \to (q \to s))$ is F, and isn't a tautology.
[That's assuming, as your answer attempt assumes too, that $\to$ takes precedence over $\leftrightarrow$, so we should bracket as shown.]

Discovery's Captain Pike Returns in Star Trek: Short Treks Trailer
November 12, 2019 01207.3 – Discovery, News
A trailer for the next entry in the Star Trek: Short Treks series sees the return of Captain Pike from Star Trek: Discovery. One of the original Star Trek characters, Pike was the Enterprise captain in the series' initially unaired pilot episode "The Cage" in 1965, before the series was retooled and almost entirely recast.
Pike was introduced in season 2 of Discovery to take over interim command of the vessel after the revelation that Lorca was in fact his evil counterpart from the mirror universe and his subsequent betrayal of the ship and its crew. Although Pike is a familiar character in Star Trek lore, comparatively little salient information is known about his actions as a captain, meaning that he was free to be developed as necessary to the series, with Anson Mount's portrayal of him being popular enough with fans that many are eager for a spinoff series chronicling more of his adventures.
Uploaded to YouTube channel of CBS All Access, the trailer appears to take place a short time after the end of the finale of Discovery season 2, seeing Pike in the brig of the Enterprise and presumably en route to questioning for his actions in the Discovery disappearing into future under the guise of destruction. A surprise attack on a Starbase leave him under the guard of inexperienced cadet Thira Sidhu, who he attempts to convince to release him.
Short Treks began last year to partially alleviate the wait for season 2 of Discovery, airing short monthly episodes of self-contained episodes featuring characters from the series, the events of some of them returning to have significance in the series ongoing narrative. The second set of them further expands the universe of Discovery, featuring events not tied to the series and characters no longer playing a role in it, if they even did in the first place.
Short Treks episodes often take place in a single setting, so it's likely that the episode will be a dialogue-based two-hander between Pike and Sidhu, similar to the structure of "Runaway," "Calypso," and "Q&A." It will probably feature shifting levels of psychological control over a situation that neither of them wants to be in, striking a balance between an experienced starship captain currently lacking any command and a cadet without authority who likely once held him in high regard. Exactly why Pike feels it essential for him to be in command of the rescue is not clear, but since he is not one given to making threats, especially ones he has no intention of carrying out, there may be something specific he knows about the situation that would make his presence invaluable.

Home » Life Hacks » Your Web Presence Will Soon Be More Valuable Than Your Credit Rating
Your Web Presence Will Soon Be More Valuable Than Your Credit Rating
By Philip Brewer on 5 February 2014 0 comments
When employers first started looking up their potential new hires on social media sites, recent grads started deleting whole Facebook accounts. That was better than having a fully documented history of bad behavior, but in the near future people are going to have to do a lot better. A blank social media history is going to be a bad social media history. (See also: 9 LinkedIn Changes You Should Make)
The whole situation is directly analogous to credit ratings. Time was, a lot of people didn't even have a credit history — back when credit cards were a way to borrow money, rather than a mechanism for making payments. Plenty of people were proud that they'd never had to borrow money — figured it showed that they were responsible money managers. And often those same folks were terribly surprised when it turned out that having no credit history made it tough when they did want to borrow, such as to get a mortgage.
The reason was simple: lenders wanted to see a demonstrated capability to make monthly payments on time, and people who had never borrowed money didn't have a history that showed that. (See also: How to Build Credit From Scratch)
Very soon, having no online presence is going to be worrisome in just the same way. It's going to either mean that you're a complete nobody — or more likely, that your past behavior was so bad you couldn't clean things up by just deleting a few unwise posts.
Building a Good Web Footprint
There used to be a lot of articles on how to build a good credit history. (The advice usually boiled down to: borrow a little money, make the payments on time, make the last payment a little early.)
Now it's time for some similar articles on how to build a good web presence. We don't yet know what's going to be most important, but here are some ideas on how to get started.
Be Gradual
Your web footprint should be built gradually, with posts spread out over time. Don't imagine that you can fake up a whole web history in a day, or even a few weeks. (For one thing, too many of the posts have hard-to-fake timestamps. But even aside from that, it's just hard to make up anything that has the richness of a real person's life, except by documenting it day-by-day.)
Be Normal
Your web footprint should make you look like an ordinary person, with various interests and a reasonable number of friends. A nice mix of posts — some quotidian updates liberally laced with quirky vacation stories, some links to interesting articles, photos with friends and with family, likes of local businesses — is going to look much better than two hundred posts all on the same topic (even if the topic is relevant to the job you're trying to get).
Your web footprint should make you look engaged. In addition to your own content, you should like and share other people's content — and you should have content that other people like and share. Don't look like you think you're above everyone else; don't look like nobody likes you. (See also: Why You Should Cultivate Relationships)
Be Honorable
Your web footprint should make you look unique and quirky — but like a good person. Don't have posts that make you look cruel or abusive. It's fine to have some stories about misadventures, but don't make yourself out to be stupid or incompetent. (Especially, don't make yourself out to be a criminal or a drunk.)
Be Distributed
Your web footprint shouldn't all be one place. Right now, probably the most important web presence to have is on Facebook, followed by Twitter, and then Google+. But there are dozens of other places where it's worth being engaged: Reddit, Pinterest, Tumblr, Flickr, Delicious, StumbleUpon, your own blog, etc. There's no telling what the next big thing will be. Fortunately, there's no need to be on the next big thing. Just make sure your whole web presence isn't all on one site — a lot of sites are going to disappear (or worse, become a joke for the people who have moved on to the next big thing).
A Web Presence Is Cheaper Than an Interview
The first time I was interviewed for a job, I was surprised at how little time was spent talking about my qualifications, and how much time was spent just talking. Only years later — after I started doing interviews myself — did I come to understand. By the time you get to the interview stage, the employer has already decided that you have the skills to do the work. In the interview, they're trying to figure out if you'll fit in. They want to make sure that you're not a jerk or a flake. But interviews are expensive — and however limited the picture of someone that you'll get from their web presence, it's often enough to spot the jerks and the flakes. (See also: 13 Ways to Make a Good Impression at Your Job Interview)
If your web footprint makes you look like a jerk or a flake, interviews are going to be few and far between. But if your web footprint is so sparse that someone taking a good look at it comes away without any strong sense of the sort of person you are, there's every reason to fear that you won't get the benefit of the doubt. They'll just look at the next guy, and the guy after that. Soon enough they'll find someone with enough of a web presence that they feel like they've got a sense of the guy. That's the applicant they'll call in for an interview.
Make sure your web footprint doesn't make you look like a jerk or a flake — and make sure it's dense enough that it looks real, and not like the creation of a few days of trying to fake something up (or a lifetime of bad behavior with all the bad posts hidden).
Beyond the Job Search
Your web presence already matters in your job search, but soon it's going to matter for everything. Lots of interactions are already heavily reliant on social media reputation — dating (especially online dating, but also real-life dating), doing freelance work, selling second-hand goods, and so on. Credit scoring won't be far behind, and probably getting insurance as well.
Time to get ready for it.
Are you actively maintaining your online reputation? Has your online persona helped or hurt you?

Кантри-рок () — музыкальный жанр, объединяющий рок и кантри. Музыка кантри всегда была частью рок-н-ролла, с тех пор, как Элвис Пресли выступил на «Grand Ole Opry» в 1955. Он исполнял ритмичную смесь кантри и ритм-энд-блюза — рокабилли, раннюю форму рок-н-ролла с сильным влиянием кантри.

История

Истоки
Влияния кантри на рок-музыку можно услышать в ряде рок-альбомов 1960-х годов, к примеру на альбоме Beatles for Sale (1964) группы The Beatles, либо на альбоме Aftermath (1966) группы The Rolling Stones, а также на альбомах Buffalo Springfield (1966) и «Last Time Around» (1968) группы Buffalo Springfield.

В 1966 многие рок-группы перешли на более экспериментальное психоделическое звучание, в то время как Боб Дилан возглавил движение фолк-возрождения в США, когда он отправился в Нэшвилл для записи альбома Blonde on Blonde. Этот, а также последующие его альбомы John Wesley Harding (1967) и Nashville Skyline (1969) отличались бо́льшим влиянием кантри. Соответственно отправной точкой кантри-рока можно считать именно эти альбомы. Успех Боба Дилана сопровождался также успехом группы The Byrds, к которой в 1968 году присоединился Грэм Парсонс. Ранее, в этом же году, он записал альбом «Safe at Home» с группой International Submarine Band, в котором активно применял педальную слайд-гитару (:en:Pedal steel guitar), из-за чего его иногда называют первым настоящим кантри-рок-альбомом. Результатом пребывания Парсонса в The Byrds стал «Sweetheart of the Rodeo» (1968), один из лучших и наиболее влиятельных альбомов в жанре. The Byrds продолжали в том же духе в течение небольшого периода времени, однако Парсонс покинул группу, чтобы создать The Flying Burrito Brothers вместе с Крисом Хиллмэном, также бывшим участником группы The Byrds. В течение следующих двух лет они записали альбомы The Gilded Palace of Sin (1969) и "Burrito Deluxe (1970), после чего Парсонс начал свою сольную карьеру.

Пик популярности
Кантри-рок был особенно популярным в конце 1960-х в Калифорнии, там его переняли и стали исполнять Hearts and Flowers, Poco и Riders of the Purple Sage. Некоторые фолк-рок исполнители перешли на кантри-рок, последовав примеру The Byrds, среди них Beau Brummels и Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. На волне успеха кантри-рока оживились многие исполнители, как например Everly Brothers со своим лучшим альбомом «Roots» (1968), Rick Nelson, ставший фронтменом Stone Canyon Band, Mike Nesmith, сформировавший First National Band после ухода из Monkees и Нил Янг, который попеременно то приходил, то уходил от кантри-рока, на протяжении всей своей карьеры. Одной из немногих успешных групп, перешедшей от кантри к кантри-року, стала The Dillards.

Наибольшего коммерческого успеха жанр достиг в 1970-х, когда Doobie Brothers внедрили элементы R&B музыки, Эммилу Харрис стала «королевой кантри-рока», а Линда Ронстадт создала очень успешную поп-ориентированную форму кантри-рока. Группа Eagles, изначально игравшая для Линды Ронстадт, сформированная из членов групп Flying Burrito Brothers, Poco и Stone Canyon Band, стала одной из самых успешных рок-групп всех времен.

Наследие
Кантри-рок сыграл определенную роль в развитии сатерн-рока, несмотря на то, что всё-таки основное влияние на который было со стороны блюз-рока, а также проложил дорогу для альтернативного кантри. Популярность кантри-рока спала к концу 1970-х, однако некоторые известные исполнители, как например Нил Янг, продолжили свою деятельность в рамках жанра. Кантри-рок, как феномен, сохранился в Техасе, где его исполняют The Flatlanders, Joe Ely, Butch Hancock, Jimmy Dale Gilmore. Кантри-рок альбом Raising Sand Роберта Планта и Элисон Краусс стал одним из самых коммерчески успешных альбомов 2007 года.

Comparison of IQ, EI, Sports Performance, and Psychological Characteristics of Young Male Soccer Players in Different Playing Positions
Nima Nakisa1, Mahboobeh Ghasemzadeh Rahbardar *2
1- Faculty of Physical Education and Sport Sciences, Kish International Campus, University of Tehran, Kish Island, Iran
2- Mashhad University of Medical Sciences, Mashhad, Iran , ghasemzadeh_mahboobeh@yahoo.com
Background. Soccer is a popular sport with a large number of players all over the world. Besides, it has considerable economic and social effects. Thus, it is necessary to find out the factors which influence soccer players' performance.
Objectives. The purpose of this investigation was to determine whether there is a significant correlation between intellectual intelligence (I.Q) (Raven's progressive matrices) and emotional intelligence (EI) (Bar-On emotional intelligence scale) with the performance (Charbonneau sports performance questionnaire), and assess the psychological characteristics of young male soccer players in different playing positions and the descriptive method with a correlation technique was used.
Methods. Pearson correlation coefficient was used for questions analysis and One-way ANOVA was used for testing the hypothesizes. 120 young Iranian male soccer players aged 17-19 from different soccer schools participated in the study. The players were divided into four playing positions: forwards, midfielders, defenders, and goalkeepers.
Results. The obtained data revealed a positive linear correlation between soccer players' IQ, EQ, and sports performance. Also, significant differences were observed between Bar-On subscale scores of the players in different playing positions.
Conclusion. The obtained outcomes reinforce the hypothesis that positional differences in terms of psychological characteristics exist. In addition, it might be concluded that young soccer players might be differentiated by their psychological skills and their playing positions.

NEW BRUNSWICK — Rutgers University issued an alert to one of its campuses about a student who was diagnosed with bacterial meningitis.
According to an email obtained by New Jersey 101.5 that was sent to the campus community, the student was hospitalized on Sunday and is being treated. Close friends and family were notified so they could be treated with antibiotics as a preventive measure.
The CDC said the illness is spread by an exchange of saliva during kissing, coughing, or lengthy contact. The school suggests that everyone on campus should wash their hands, cover their coughs, and avoid sharing items such as water bottles, lip balm, and cigarettes.
Rutgers University and the New Jersey Department of Health did not immediately return messages.

Actionpactpix had a project this week and it involved taking photos of Sale Botanic Gardens. Have you walked around the Lake in Sale? Have you ever taken much notice of the surrounds, I mean REALLY noticed? The gardens have had a major revamp in recent years culminating last year when they celebrated their 150th birthday and there are some fascinating trees and sculptures there.
Aside from the fact that the Botanic Gardens in Sale are the only Botanic Gardens east of Melbourne, there really is some interesting stuff there.
Like the Sensory Garden where you can touch and smell the plants and see things that you eat like corn and strawberries. It is a lovely area and great for the kids. There is an adventure playground, an elm grove where the Jolly Swagman carving sits, made by chainsaw and there are some fantastic garden beds made up of sustainable plants along the Lake. Don't forget the fauna park, where you can easily spot a wallaby or a peacock (in fact there are some young chicks there at the moment). Yesterday I watched a young girl giggling and excited to see the KANGOO!
Then there is the eco-adventure playground on the way over to Lake Guyatt, and just so many trees and shrubs, the new Sound Shell where Carols by Candlelight was performed.
A botanical garden sounds a bit boring, but a walk around these gardens is worth it and go a bit further and walk right around Lake Guthridge too and do the fitness stations along the way. It is a cheap and fun afternoon for the family.
Ann and Peter Synan have written a book about the gardens which was written for the 150th anniversary and it is a very interesting read, there are a lot of historical photographs and copies of documents and basically you travel through the development of the Lake Guthridge and parkland precinct from the ugly swampland it was, through the periods of indecision and bureaucracy to the absolutely "blooming" asset to the Sale community it is today. The book is called "Summer Walk" and is available from Collins bookshop in Sale or the Wellington Shire office in Foster Street Sale. I think the book is about $40-00 (I should have checked) and is easy to read and I read parts of it to gather information, but found the whole book quite fascinating.
When you go, take lunch, or dinner, eat in the Summer House, the big open building where you can find barbecues on entering the park. BUT don't forget the sunscreen and the Aeroguard, the elm grove is a haven for mozzies on these warm days.

Q: Original BPS state paper by Bogomol'nyi I've been searching for the original paper by E.B. Bogomol'nyi titled "The Stability of Classical Solutions" online, and have yet to find a resource which holds it. So far, the closest I've come is a random website which seems to have part of it at least, but it is quite a low-resolution scan:
https://www.docsity.com/pt/the-stability-of-classical-solutions/4895287/
If anyone has access to a decent quality copy of this, it would be very helpful.

A: This answer was initially just a comment, since the resource I mention is not available for free. (At least not in a chivalrous way ;) But as it was pointed out to me it could still be useful, since it is maybe more likely that your local institute library holds the book rather than the original journal article.
The paper "The Stability of Classical Solutions" by E. B. Bogomol'nyi from 1976 can be found in the book "Solitons and Particles" by Claudio Rebbi and Giulio Solani. In the version I was able to look at it is found on page 389.

Get Behind DCCI #MADELOCAL Campaign
/ 11th September 2020 /
Jake Mulcahy
#MADELOCAL campaign reminds people that everyone can play their part to help Irish design and craft sector return to growth
The Design and Crafts Council Ireland launched its #MADELOCAL campaign this summer to showcase the work of Irish designers and makers, and deliver a much-needed boost to a sector that was so negatively affected by Covid-19.
The campaign was launched by An Tánaiste and Minister for Trade, Enterprise and Employment, Leo Varadkar, TD and actor and writer Amy Huberman, as well as DCCI Chair Breege O'Donoghue. The #MADELOCAL campaign, developed by DCCI, is a nationwide initiative to boost sales and drive revenue for both makers and retailers.
The Irish craft and design industry is a significant contributor to regional economies. DCCI has over 3,000 registered client enterprises and engages with over 150 retailers across the country who specialise in authentic Irish products.
Consumer Affinity
Recent research conducted by Amárach Consulting for DCCI has indicated that nine in 10 consumers feel an affinity to Irish craft and design. DCCI's ambition is that the #MADELOCAL campaign will remind consumers taking staycations this year of the high-quality, unique products available from Irish makers and designers across the country.
Consumers see the newly designed #MADELOCAL symbol in participating retailers when shopping for gifts and keepsakes during their holidays. The symbol is featured on Irish-made craft and design in shops across the country. The research also reveals that 43% of Irish consumers will continue to shop online, even as restrictions ease. DCCI is calling on consumers to choose these local businesses when shopping online for gifts, homewares or fashion.
Power of Digital
According to Rosemary Steen, CEO of DCCI: "I believe in the power of digital to unlock opportunities in this challenging world, but it must be done in a manner that engages our community in a supportive way. This year has shown a significant interest in digital support from DCCI for our clients and members, and I look forward to building upon that interest to help people maximise opportunities for business growth.
"Ireland is renowned for its exceptionally talented designers and craftspeople who create beautiful work which is exported worldwide. These makers and the retailers make a significant contribution to the Irish economy and provide sustainable employment. Through #MADELOCAL, we want to remind people that we can all play our part, we can help our vibrant Irish design and craft sector to return to prosperity and growth."
Ms Steen added: "There is an abundance of unique and beautiful products created throughout this country. It is reflective of our culture and history and is intrinsic to who we are. Our research also shows that consumers want to buy products made by local designers and makers. As the economy begins to re-open, we're calling on these consumers to shop local and consider the breadth of Irish-crafted, high-quality products available here. This will, in turn, help us revitalise our wonderful craft industry."
Supporting 3,000 Clients
#MADELOCAL continues to run, with over 100 retailers involved in the campaign, supporting the work of DCCI's 3,000 registered clients. DCCI is the national agency for the commercial development of Irish designers and makers. Its role is stimulating innovation, championing design thinking and informing Government policy.
• More information on Irish craft and design and where to shop products that are #MADELOCAL can be found on the website at www.dcci.ie, and by following #MADELOCAL on social media.

The CAIRNS logo contains several layers of meaning that reflect different aspects of our mission statement. The central disk of the logo is quartered by four converging arrows. The arrows represent diverse viewpoints coming together at a common meeting ground. They also depict the four directions that characterize Lakota cosmology as well as the four foundations of our work: Rigor, Reliability, Respect and Relevance. Just as collaborative initiatives between individuals create a combined effect greater than the sum of their separate efforts, a four-pointed star is created by the confluence of the four arrows. The star evokes the traditional relationship between Lakotas and stars while simultaneously representing the north star, an unwavering guide toward which our work is oriented. Moreover, the overlap of the arrow ends are four diagrammatic tipis, or lodges, reinforcing that CAIRNS is a gathering place.
The black disk itself symbolizes a rising sun. The white crescent that encircles most of it is an implied moon. Thus, the sun, moon and stars are all represented in the logo. However, the black sun is not a complete circle. Instead, the notch near its bottom emphasizes an axis that aligns with two of the arrows and the central star. The "S" of our organization's acronym is one end of the axis, signifying South and orienting the arrows to the four cardinal directions, which are associated with the Four Winds of Lakota cosmology.
Around the crescent are stylized fingers and a thumb depicting an open hand conveying friendship. More specifically, it is a left hand with the central disk in its palm. Lakota tradition assigned preference to the left as opposed to the right. The fingers and thumb are reminiscent of feathers, which are meaningful symbols in Lakota philosophy that signify important relationships and accomplishments.
Beneath the hand is our acronym, CAIRNS. As a noun, a cairn is a pile of stones erected to mark a path or location, and can be found in places around the world. The Four Winds in Lakota tradition are quadruplet brothers who erected a cairn at each of the cardinal directions, beginning at the west then moving in a sunwise direction to the north, east and south. Therefore the west arrow of the logo aligns with the first letter of our acronym.
Every aspect of the CAIRNS logo is thoughtfully arranged so as to reinforce both the explicit and implicit orientations of our mission statement. We strive to align everything we do with the same thoughtfulness and attention to detail.

« Introducing L. R. Graison
It's finally here! »
By Lily Graison | July 5, 2021 - | January 11, 2023 Books
Running to escape a life of servitude may have taken her out of a bad situation but being a Native woman means she can never escape the way people see her. The prejudice Morning Dove faces is a daily reminder that she doesn't really belong with these people but one man makes her forget she's an outsider. Looking at him, she longs for things she never thought to have and all she has to do is reach out and grab them … if she could only get over her fear of speaking to him. Ben Atwater has more problems than any one man should and most of them he brought on by himself. The only bright spot in his life is a pretty Native girl who will barely look at him. Morning Dove is an enigma he wants to explore but his past has tainted his future. Will a woman like her want a man as miserable as him? And if so, can he keep her once he has her in his arms?

2014 Award Winner:
William Paver
William "Bill" Paver worked at the University of Texas at Austin from 1980 up to his retirement in 2001. During his tenure, he increased the visibility of international education and directed the Graduate and International Admissions Center. Bill was awarded Honorary Membership to AACRAO upon his retirement from UT Austin. Throughout his career Bill has continually applied his skills and creativity to address one of the most complex and important responsibilities facing higher education administrators: the task of identifying, describing, and publicizing the key components of the admission and placement of foreign students in our colleges and universities.
Bill has presented on the subject of international education domestically and internationally at numerous AACRAO conferences, as well as those of NAFSA, SACRAO, the European Association of International Educators (EAIE), and many others. From 1995 until 2001, Bill was a member of the TOEFL Board of Directors during which time he chaired three separate committees. He also served on the Board for NAFSA and Chaired the NAFSA Admissions Section (ADESC) team.
Bill's work in international education has led to his collaboration with countless associations and government agencies, and AACRAO has benefited considerably from Bill's involvement. From 1994 to 1997, Bill served on the AACRAO Board of Directors as Vice President for International Education. As a member of the Projects in International Education Research (PIER) committee, he helped to oversee the publication of several country studies, like 1992's profile on China.
In 2008, Bill was Chair of the AACRAO Project Joint Russian Federation/U.S. Commission on the Mutual Understanding of Education and was an Author and Editor of the subsequent update on the Educational System of the Russian Federation. Bill was also instrumental in the creation of AACRAO EDGE. During his Vice-Presidency, Bill laid the groundwork that, under his leadership, evolved into EDGE as we know it today. Bill also helped to support the funding of EDGE via the Paver Family Foundation. Since the inception of EDGE, Bill has authored several profiles and is a continuing editor and research coordinator.
Due to his extensive work in international education and in no small part to his impressive work with EDGE, Bill was awarded the Award for International Excellence in 2008. Bill is a Founder and current Director of the Foreign Credentials Service of America (FCSA). Established in 1987, the FCSA has set the national standard for international academic certification and serves as a source of continuing leadership in the fi eld of international education.
Bills desire to give back to the Association and to higher education has led him to become a major figure in his field. Bill has consistently shown dedication and service to AACRAO and is greatly deserving of this award and recognition of his peers.

This years Multidisciplinary Workshop on Advances in Preference Handling (M-PREF 2010), is going to be held in conjunction with ECAI 2010.
If you are interested in submitting any paper here, hurry up. Deadline is 7th May.
This paper is going to appear in the proceedings 24th AAAI conference on Artificial Intelligence (AAAI '10), 2010. This is joint work with James Zou and David Parkes from Harvard University. This work was carried out when I spent my summer internship in Harvard.
We studied the problem of object assignments in dynamic settings. That is, the agents in the system are arriving dynamically and need one object. The agents have strict preferences over these objects. And no monetary transfers are involved.
Consider the collaborative project like cleaning up task on wiki. The interested users, voluntarily participate for these tasks. However, they may have preferences on these tasks. The problem is not all the agents are available at the same time. The agents will arrive dynamically and will be available till some time and may leave the system. So, if at all we have to assign a task to an agent, we have to perform this before he or she leaves. And it should try to assign agents their preferable tasks which is private information to the agents.
In static settings, Svensson's has shown that, if we need no-bossy and neutrality with respect to objects, serial dictatorship is the only strategyproof mechanism for the objects assignment. No-bossy means, nobody can dictate the outcome for the other agents without affecting himself. Using his theorem, we show that, in on-line settings, greedy algorithm, which we call as APSD, is the only strategyproof mechanism that also satisfies neutrality and no-bossy properties.
As soon as an agent arrives, he is assigned his most preferred item from pool of available items.
preferred task as compared to others (or receiving less preferred object), then we may assign him this less preferable task/object and make others happy. Based on this, we propose a mechanism which we call as scoring rule (SR). SR is susceptible for manipulations. We characterize all possible manipulations and show that if everybody manipulates optimally, it reduces to APSD. If only fraction of agents are strategic and the others are reporting truthfully, the ex-ante performance of SR is better than APSD.
This performance is considering rank based utilities has been used by Budish and Cantillon. We assume we assume risk neutral agents with a constant difference in utility across items that are adjacent in their preference list. That is, the difference between utility of receiving object ranked 1 and ranked 2 is same as the difference between receiving object 2 and 3. Based on this assumption, we use expected rank for all the agents that they assign to their assigned object as performance metric for a mechanism.
We also compare the ex-ante performance of the SR with CONSENSUS, an on-line stochastic optimization based algorithm. SR outperforms CONSENSUS.
For technical details, please refer to our paper.

Nepotism scandal: Inspectors say promotion of former official's son lawful
By vietnameselanguage October 7, 2015
Inspectors from the Ministry of Home Affairs said Monday that they have found nothing amiss in the appointment of a 30-year-old man to a senior position in the central province of Quảng Nam.
A team of inspectors had been sent to Quảng Nam to look into the appointment of Lê Phước Hoài Bảo as a new director for the Department of Planning and Investment.
His father, Lê Phước Thanh, is a retired Party official.
The case has attracted much public attention after the media raised questions about his experience given his age.
He is the youngest director at any provincial department in the whole country.

Several media outlets quoted sources saying he might have been nominated because of his father, who was the head of the province Party unit.
Thanh, Bảo's father, left office on September 30 due to health problems.
Inspectors said they revised the appointment procedures and found nothing wrong.
They will soon announce the inspection result in an official press conference.
Bảo, who graduated from the Đà Nẵng University of Economics with a degree in finance, was selected for a state-funded two-year master's program at Claremont Graduate University in the US in 2010.
After returning to the homeland, Bảo led the investment promotion unit at Chu Lai Economic Zone in Quảng Nam until March 2014.
He then became deputy chairman of Quảng Nam's Thắng Bình District.
After a year he was appointed deputy head of the province's Department of Planning and Investment.

SIU Releases Fall Enrollment Numbers
(Photo Credit: SIUC Facebook Page)
Southern Illinois University Carbondale has released fall enrollment numbers which are showing the largest drop in recent history. The university has seen a decline almost every year for the past five years except for 2014. The drop in enrollment is a concern for students, faculty, and members of the community because the college affects many different areas of Carbondale. This years enrollment totaled 15,987 while last falls reported number was 17,292. Chancellor Colwell told WSIL TV that university leaders are lobbying for state funding in Springfield but the university has to get its "house in order" despite what's happening in the capital.
