Elton John doesn't care if Clay Aiken is gay
The ever-opinionated popster weighs in on a variety of subjects in a two-part 'Access Hollywood' interview, including Whitney Houston and Clay Aiken.
Sept. 27, 2006, 11:48 PM UTC / Source: The Associated Press
How wonderful celeb news is when Elton John's in the world.
The ever-opinionated popster weighs in on a variety of subjects in a two-part "Access Hollywood" interview, including Whitney Houston and Clay Aiken.
On Houston, who recently filed for divorce from Bobby Brown after 14 years of marriage, John says, "Bobby's not good for her, and because of the addiction thing, she keeps going back. The writing was on the wall many, many years ago with that one."
John, a longtime gay activist, also shares his thoughts on the speculation over Aiken's sexuality and the "American Idol" star's recent run-in on the subject during an interview with Diane Sawyer.
He understands that Sawyer had to ask Aiken if he is gay, John says, but he's personally not interested in the answer.
"I don't even care if Clay Aiken is gay or not," John tells the show. "It's none of my business."
John, 59, also discusses his own dangerous past and how it inspired him to become an AIDS activist today.
"I've dodged so many bullets," he says. "Not just because of unsafe sex, but because of the amount of drugs I did, the amount of alcohol, the amount of work I was doing. I started the Elton John AIDS Foundation because I got so lucky."
John's foundation has distributed more than $60 million to global HIV/AIDS prevention efforts since it was established in 1992.
The interview is scheduled to begin airing Friday.


Yesterday's workout was heavy on the triceps and calves, but strictly adhered to the calisthenics principle I'm working with. Today's experiment is more of the same (calisthenics), but the emphasis is on back, bicep and abdominal muscle groups.
2 sets of 10 standard pull-ups.
2 sets of 10 reverse grip (underhanded) pull-ups.
1 set of 10 standard pull-ups - hold the "up" position and move first to one side, then the next.
4 sets of 15 hanging leg raises.
4 sets of 15 hanging oblique twists.
Obviously, this will not be a very easy workout. I'm going to do what I can, aiming to finish.
If you're not used to doing a lot of bicep work, there is a risk that you will hurt your bicep or possibly develop some light tendonitis or "tennis elbow." So take it easy and use common sense. Remember a burning sensation in your muscles that subsides during recovery periods is "good pain." Burning that doesn't go away with rest, or sharp pain (pinching or stabbing) in your tendons or joints is "bad pain." If you start to feel some bad pain coming on, reduce the number or repetitions you do.
The goal here is to complete the workout; there is no shame in not being able to complete it. As long as you get a good workout, you've succeeded.

Cardinal Dolan calls Catholics, Jews to continue building unity through God
by Beth Griffin, Catholic News Service
New York — Catholics and Jews risk losing their hard-won interfaith amity if they take ecumenism for granted and fail to pass it along to a new generation of seminarians and laity, Cardinal Timothy Dolan of New York said in an address at the Jewish Theological Seminary of America.
The cardinal spoke Wednesday* about 50 years of substantive interactions that began with Nostra Aetate ("In Our Time"), the Second Vatican Council's declaration on relations with non-Christian religions promulgated by Blessed Paul VI in 1965.
He told the audience at the annual John Paul II Center Lecture for Interreligious Understanding that St. John Paul II realized the dream of Nostra Aetate by trusting the Jewish community enough to invite it to become an ally in "the number one priority of his pontificate, to recover the primacy of the spiritual."
The late pope believed, Dolan said, "the most mortal toxin affecting the human project was the denial of God's sovereignty, even his existence." John Paul believed the Jews were the church's most natural ally and shared his sense of urgency, he said.
As a young man in Poland, Karol Wojtyla, the future pope, "lost everything by the time he was in his early 20s," and mourned the wartime disappearance of friends and the enforced absence of God from the country's public expression, Dolan said. Catholics and Jews survived the World War II and postwar communism by relying on the wisdom of the psalms, specifically, "Only in God is my soul at rest," he said.
"John Paul II saw today's children of Abraham, Isaac, Joseph, Moses, David and the prophets as essential to recovery of the primacy of the divine in a world drugged to forget its Lord," the cardinal said.
"Nostra Aetate tells us that all of us comprise a single community and have a single origin" and share a single goal, which is a union with God, he said.
Catholics and Jews have in common, he continued, an understanding of the dignity of the human person, the sanctity of every human life, an allegiance to God's law, a solidarity and a mutual world view. "Human dignity in life is enhanced, not shackled, when we proclaim, 'We want God,' " as crowds did during St. John Paul's first visit to Poland after he became pope, the cardinal added.
Nostra Aetate inspired John Paul, Dolan said, not just to tolerate Jews or have theological discussions with them, but to invite a "providential and urgent partnership flowing from a mutual faith, love and biblical roots, where Jews become like their prophets of old and Catholics like the Twelve Apostles, calling the world away from the worship of false gods, false idols, into the arms of the one true, eternal God who persistently and passionately loves us."
In remarks to the audience, Arnold M. Eisen, Jewish Theological Seminary chancellor, said at a time when some use religion as a justification for killing others, Nostra Aetate and the seminary continue to demand that "religious voices in service of interreligious respect have a responsibility to be as loud and persistent as those that seek to drown out this commitment with bombs or bullets."
Citing 20th-century Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, Eisen said Jews and Christians need one another to face the challenges and expectations of a living God.
Such good relations between Catholics and Jews would not have been possible before the release of Nostra Aetate, Dolan said, yet most Catholics do not remember that time. He said bishops and others worry that seminarians, for example, raised in a climate where "ecumenism and interfaith cooperation was taken for granted," may think "you don't have to work at it because it's just there and it's going to stay."
"But we all know the hard way. If it's not something you constantly work at and constantly remind yourself of, it will quickly dissipate."
A strong effort to maintain good relations is "particularly incumbent on Catholics and Jews in the United States, because we live in a laboratory of ecumenical and interfaith amity. We really take it for granted and we know it works," Dolan said.
He said Pope Benedict XVI in particular insisted that the letter and spirit of Nostra Aetate be included both in catechetical materials for laypeople and seminary studies.
Dolan also said Pope Francis is eager to learn about Americans during his upcoming visit but is a "little nervous" because he has never been to the U.S. and is "very shy about not knowing conversational English."
He said a substantive interreligious meeting will be a high point of the pope's time in New York, and that the pope told him and Archbishop Bernardito Auza, the Vatican's permanent representative to the United Nations, such a visit would be an essential element of his trip.
The lecture was sponsored by the John Paul II Center for Interreligious Dialogue at the Pontifical University of St. Thomas Aquinas in Rome, the Russell Berrie Foundation and the Jewish Theological Seminary of America.

I am a professional Chinese teacher, teaching Chinese at ChineseTutoringLessons Chinese school for years in Copenhagen, Odense, and Arhus. I am also a licensed Mandarin teacher, having Master degrees in Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language, and B.A of English. I speak good English and now live in Denmark. I love teaching Mandarin in an active and flexible style and believe in practice when learn Chinese. I understand what learners require from Chinese classes and how to help them learn Chinese, and achieve their Mandarin study goals in a productive yet enjoyable way. I approach teaching in a holistic way and am able to provide insights into Chinese culture, history, and current affairs. Above all, I am patient, encouraging my learners to learn Chinese, and help them develop a sense of confidence when using Mandarin Chinese, creating an overall positive Mandarin study environment !
I am a native Chinese teacher with a very standard and clear Mandarin pronunciation, Certified Teaching Chinese as a Foreign Language(TCSL), having bachelor's degree in Education from Beijing Language and Culture University, now living and teaching Mandarin at ChineseTutoringLessons Chinese school in Denmark. My learner are from Copenhagen, Odense, Arhus, Aalborg. I am a friendly, patient, creative Mandarin teacher. My Chinese classes are easy and fun! I have 6 year Chinese teaching experience. To my learners, I am more than a Mandarin teacher, a good friend! I am easy going and approachable and you will feel at ease when learn Chinese with me- this definitely help with your Mandarin study progress. I am always ready to listen to your opinions and worries and always flexible in my method of Mandarin teaching and topics of Mandarin study.
How many times have you looked enviously at foreigners speaking in Chinese? How many times have you wondered, "How do they do it??" Let me tell you how I did it.
I made it at ChineseTutoringLessons Chinese school! When I first came to China everything was so exciting and new. I realized that to fully enjoy life here it would be helpful to know the language, Mandarin.
At this Chinese school, I learnt to speak Chinese in 50 hours spanning over 30 days. The Chinese classes were extremely well organized, skillfully planned to suit my interest and very well executed. The key to teaching Chinese is constant revision of vocabulary using interesting Mandarin teaching aids.
After two Chinese classes, I could put Chinese words to make sentences, and it was a real confidence booster.
This also helped my kids learn Chinese faster and get better grades in school. They look forward to their Chinese classes at ChineseTutoringLessons.
Apart from the private Chinese teaching in class, I also had some "real world experience" classes. My Chinese teacher accompanied me to a place of my interest and encouraged me to practice the words and sentences we had learned in our Chinese classes to the real-life situation, to use the language with the locals. Now this is what I call- a real test of language. This tremendously improved my quality of life here, so that I had a lot of friends and could confidently find my way around and go shopping with ease. My friends and family were so impressed. It helped my career wise too.
The Mandarin study material is useful, and practical, with topics related to my life and work, and the words and sentences i can use in the real. That's really very helpful !
Of course, all my Mandarin study achievements now could not be achieved without the help of my Mandarin teacher, Brenda. She was very experienced, very patient, explained knowledge until i understood, patiently answered my questions, always with sweet smile, motivated me to learn Chinese, corrected my mistake while practicing. And she was flexible in her Mandarin teaching schedule.
Now i returned back to Denmark with my husband together, but I still learn Chinese now for 3 reasons. 1st is that i love Mandarin language, 2rd, i want to get my Chinese level running and rising as i really find Mandarin study is interesting, and meaningful! 3rd, the Chinese school and the Chinese teachers there are really very good!

Government can set the example for dialogue on tough issues that arise in a society pledged to multiculturalism, inclusion and protection of rights.
Reading and watching the stories arising around International Women's Week, I was struck by the divisiveness around the meaning of feminism. Emma Watson, who is a passionate advocate for feminism, was criticized for her Vanity Fair poses. Articles regularly question whether Justin Trudeau is a feminist or a hypocrite depending on his actions on a particular day. Sophie Gregoire Trudeau is currently being criticized for suggesting that women thank the men in their lives and hold their hands on International Women's Day. Be bold - stand up and end this harmful debate around feminism.
A new year is always a time to reflect and think about the future. This is a special new year. As Canadians, we are fortunate to celebrate our 150 anniversary. In so many ways we are a young country built by immigrants and the existing indigenous populations.
Women continue to fear for their safety not only on campuses but on streets, in parks and on trails. I have spoken to a number of women who say they no longer jog alone on wooded trails. They also face harassment and implicit bias in the workplace which affects their ability to be effective and to advance in those workplaces. And now Trump has brought that same harassment onto a global political stage.
More than ever we need to have multi-generational leadership in our governments, public services and in the non- profit and for- profit sectors. Each of the generations has something to offer and learn from each other. We are in an interesting place in our history where information is widely accessible through the Internet and all of its data sources.
Women Entrepreneurs are ambitious and want to grow their businesses according to a new study released on Tuesday. Current and past Literature and reports have resulted in a general assumption that women entrepreneurs are risk averse, thereby impacting their ability to obtain necessary capital for startup and growth.
Who Are We Kidding With The Idea Of Work-Life Balance?
Some time ago I began to question this whole idea of work-life balance. I asked why do we frame the debate as if work and life are not one and the same? Do we not think work is part of the continuum that makes up our life? For me, anyway, and I suspect many others, work is an essential part of life and how we contribute to our society.
While the cabinet is now 50 -50, we are still a far cry from achieving equality in Canada. Numbers alone are not the complete solution to the complex challenge of achieving equality. We can see this by looking at quotas which are unable to achieve their stated goals.
Quite frankly I would rather have our government express ambitious goals that will stretch their capability than easily met goals. Is this not the reason they were elected? Similarly for Canadians as a whole. Why should we not have audacious and ambitious goals in our lives that challenge us every day and give us reason to get out of bed every morning fully alive and ready to do our best toward meeting the goals?
Governance is difficult at the best of times because public policy is complex and often entails more than one option and the consideration of a multiplicity of perspectives. Trial and error and mistakes are often necessary for success.
To debate or not to debate -- that is the question? Election fever has begun in Canada well before the election call. So much for the concept of a six-week election blitz. One of the issues floating through all of the talk is a push for a leaders' debate on women's issues similar to the televised one held on August 15, 1984. In 1984 few could imagine that a need would exist for another debate in 2015. Surely all of the issues facing women in Canada would be resolved by then! Sadly this is not the case. Canada, once a leader respecting advancement of women has slipped behind other countries.
Simply because you disagree with someone's opinion does not make the person wrong or a moron or any other name flung around out there. In fact the personal attack on an individual commentator or subject of a news story reflects badly on the person doing it because it suggests that they do not have an evidentiary basis for offering an alternate opinion. If you disagree, state clearly why you disagree and the evidence for it. The same goes for our politicians. It is harder to advocate for civility when we often see anything but civility being displayed by our elected representatives and leaders in this country.
It is time for a modern version of wonder woman who does not have to carry a gun but can achieve results through feminine strengths. She can be tough without guns and violence because she knows who she is and what she wants to do in the world. She may chose to have a partner but is not dependent upon a man to achieve her goals.
As the Mike Duffy trial begins, there is plenty of blame to go around. Who is to blame -- the Senate and its lack of rules, the Prime Minister, staff or any of the other players in the allegations of fraud and misuse of funds? Surely Mike Duffy played no part whatsoever in this mess. He is just the "victim." After all, what accountability can those using public money have to Canadians to manage it well? In the U.S. we see Republicans blaming the president even when they block his initiatives. Not uncommon occurrences.
Premier Wynne, in Ontario, announced new measures recently to end sexual violence and harassment, using strong words to describe the purpose as being to end "the culture of misogyny" which is "deep-rooted in society." Misogyny goes beyond exercise of power and control to hatred of women and girls.
Over the years that I spent in various roles, I saw evidence of the impact in changing culture. Transformation of human resource policies made the path for women's advancement less fraught with pitfalls and unconscious bias. Images of women's role and abilities became more positive. I remember being told that I was very "ambitious" as if it was something to be ashamed of as a woman.
Stop Referring to Female Entrepreneurs as "Risk-Averse"
It's time to challenge the label that women are risk averse. Why do we assume that risk taking as defined by male approaches is always a positive approach in business or anywhere else for that matter? It is time that we really looked at the whole question of how women see risk and the impact of the differing perspectives and stop simply judging them against male standards.
As 2015 begins, it is a good time to reflect on the past year and look to the new year. For a period of years, women's equality seemed relegated to a dusty corner as many argued we had attained full equality in Canada. How wrong these pundits were in announcing a premature victory!
Sexually Degrading Comments Are Not "Just Guy Talk"
"Boys will be boys" and "it's just guy talk" are expressions that we need to erase from our vocabulary as a justification for some men's blatantly inappropriate behaviour toward women. This week, we saw disturbing events at Dalhousie University's Dental School involving comments of a sexual nature and those suggesting sexual violence against women, posted on a social media site. Response to the incident ranges from condemnation to commentators justifying the action of the male students on the basis that this was "just guy talk."

The Type of Narrative in "Amma and Nummo"

A myth is a type of narrative that serves as a symbolic story for either the origin of life or some aspect of the natural world. Most myths are tied to religious or spiritual belief. "Amma and Nummo" is a myth from the Dogon people of West Africa concerning the origin of life. The myth varies, but the basic premise involves the supreme being Amma creating twins, or multiple sets of twins, called Nummo, which created people or aspects of the Earth and nature.
Egg Myth
The narrative of Amma and Nummo is known as an egg myth. In it, Amma creates an egg, which he fertilizes with the twins. In some versions, the movement of the universe creates the egg, and in others, it is a part of Amma himself. In one version, Amma creates the Earth from a lump of clay, which he then rapes and impregnates with the twins. The result ranges from one set of twins to five sets of twins, depending on the version. The twins either go forth and populate the Earth, or they form parts of the world, such as the sky and the land. In all versions of the myth, the twins represent the dual feminine and masculine essence of everything in nature. Each element of the myth is symbolic of some aspect of creation or of some philosophical idea, such as duality in man.

Brighton Blvd, Bondi consisted of 8 residential units on a short walk away from Bondi Beach. In this project we incorporated an attic conversion to the roof to create larger floor areas for the top 4 apartments all constructed whilst leaving the existing roof structure and roof tiling in place. 2 of the units to the apartment complex on the ground floor we excavated the rear of the property, through the use of underpinning the exterior brick walls and propping the internal floors.

Q: C++: Copy elements of matrix class to an array I have this method (Matrix::WriteToArray(double &CopyOfArray)) that I want to write a copy of an array in the Matrix object to an array of doubles (i.e. CopyOfArray).
I am having trouble compiling though.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Error:

    int i;
    for(i=0;i<n_rows;i++){
        CopyOfArray[i]=array[i*n_cols];
        i++;
    }
    return *CopyOfArray;
}

Matrix.hh
#ifndef MATRIX_H
#define MATRIX_H
// Matrix class of variable size
class Matrix {

private:
    int n_rows;
    int n_cols;
    double *array;

public:
    // Constructors
    Matrix(); // default constructor
    Matrix(int rows, int cols); // two-argument constructor
//  Matrix(const Matrix &arr); // copy constructor

    double getelem(int r, int c);
    bool equals(Matrix m2);
    char display();
    int WriteToArray(double &CopyOfArray);

};
#endif

A: You want
int Matrix::WriteToArray(double CopyOfArray[], const int size){
    //make sure size >= n_rows then copy
}

and call it like so
double cff[MAX_SIZE] = {};
a.WriteToArray(cff);

You should really use std::vector and not worry about dynamic allocation.
EDIT: ok you can do manual allocation if you really want to but be careful to release it:
double* cff = 0;
a.WriteToArray(cff);
//do stuff with cff
delete [] cff;

And inside you write function
int Matrix::WriteToArray(double *dest){
 dest = new double[n_rows];
 //copy data into dest
}

The main thing is to make sure you delete dest when you are done using it in main so there is no memory leakage.

A: double *cff;
a.WriteToArray(&cff);

You are declaring a pointer, then using it before initializing it. You are passing the function a pointer that doesn't point to anything. You should either declare the array statically, if you know at compile time the size
double cff[16]; // 4x4 array, for example
a.WriteToArray(cff);

or size it appropriately before calling the function.
double * cff = new double[n_rows * n_cols];
a.WriteToArray(cff);

A few other criticisms: your function expects a reference to a double as an argument. If you want to receive an array, the usual way to do it is to request a pointer. A better way is not to use them at all and use some manner of smart pointer.
The method itself is broken too.
CopyOfArray[i]=array[i*n_cols];
i++;

This will result in you writing the first element of each row in the array, and leaving one space empty between them.
You need a nested loop. You also shouldn't be returning anything, you are already writing to the parameter array so the return value is redundant. You should also never return a pointer as an int, you should return it as a pointer. Better yet, though, you can initialize the pointer in the method, then return the pointer and catch it where you called it.
You also assume the array is the right size, which as your own example proved is not true. You should ALWAYS initialize pointers. Point them at 0 at the very least, like so:
double *cff = NULL; // = 0 also works, but I like pointing pointers to NULL

The method, fixed as much as I could, below:
double * Matrix::WriteToArray(){
    double * CopyOfArray = NULL;
    CopyOfArray = new double[n_rows*n_cols];
    int i, j;
    for(i=0;i<n_rows;i++){
        for(j=0;j<n_cols;j++){
        CopyOfArray[i*n_rows+j]=array[i*n_rows+j];
        i++;
        }
    }
    return CopyOfArray;
}

Then call it like so:
double *cff = NULL;
cff = a.WriteToArray();

WARNING: If you call the method without storing the return value you WILL leak memory. Don't use pointers, learn about smart pointers.

Several Navy wife friends are sharing this article from Elite Daily on Facebook today. We are all having a little chuckle. 5 times?! ONLY 5 times?! Wow, we military families must be extra enriched since many of us move more then 5 times 😉 Haha.
As an adult, I lived in San Diego, Washington, DC, Pittsburgh, Virginia Beach, Southern New Jersey, and Northern Delaware before my husband and I moved overseas. I'm very thankful for those experiences and our present experience of living in Japan. I think I like moving and shaking-up my life more then the average person. I love meeting new people, wandering through new locations, and experiencing new ways of life.
If you've ever dreamed of living elsewhere, do it. Find a way. Enrich your life, change your life, and build a better life for yourself. If you think living in Hawaii, Seattle, Vermont, Green Bay, Austin, or any other location would make you a happier, more fulfilled person, try it out. What do you have to lose?
And, more importantly, what do you have to gain?

Class 4 Trip to Bovington Tank Museum
by Caroline and Amy | 1st October 2021 | Uncategorised
Class 4's trip to Bovington Tank Museum.
On Wednesday 22nd September 2021, my class and I went to Bovington Tank Museum as part of our topic on World War Two. The trip to the museum, which is in Dorset, was almost two hours long and I wanted to get off as soon as possible!
When we arrived at the museum, we met the museum staff and they told us where to put our bags and coats. The staff also told us the rules for ourselves and other people. Then, they introduced the staff who would be running the workshops in the morning.
First, we had Phil and he told us about the Home Front and the different weapons they used. He also told us about the different wardens and their jobs. The best part was when we dressed up and practised marching.
Next, we had Trevor and he brought us into a 1940's shop and told us about the rationing books and how they worked. He also taught us the different types of confusing money used back then! After the shop, we entered a 1940's house and he taught us the different jobs a wife would do around the house like washing, ironing and cooking! After that, Trevor showed us an Anderson Shelter next to the house and, guess what, we went in! It was cold and uncomfortable.
We finally stopped for lunch and ate until we couldn't eat a crumb! Everyone was full of chatter about what we would do next.
The exhibits were conceivably the best part of the visit – the tanks were so big! There was a German tank with a stand built around it so you could see what it was like from above. My favourite tank was Little Willie because it wasn't that little!
The very last thing we did at the museum was to look around the gift shop. We were allowed to spend up to £5 – I bought purple putty and a purple slap band.
The journey home felt shorter than the journey to the museum. I lost my tooth near the end of the journey – I haven't lost a tooth for ages!
I enjoyed the tank museum very much and I would definitely go again. I also learned a lot today. Everything was so different from a normal day.

Germany: 2021 German Administrative Principles – impact on TP and intangible contributions
Tom Braukmann,
Yves Hervé
Yves Hervé and Tom Braukmann of NERA Economic Consulting discuss the changes to Germany's transfer pricing regulatory environment, with a specific focus on future tax audits.
Germany has brought its administrative principles up to speed
For many years, transfer pricing (TP) in Germany has been governed by various publications of the German Ministry of Finance. Due to the age of the publications, ranging as far back as 1983 (and arguably the most important one stemming from 2005), and the significant developments initiated by the OECD and tax authorities, many parts of the German regulation were confusing or simply outdated.
While in principle not binding for taxpayers and courts, administrative principles have significant practical importance as they govern how transfer prices are audited in Germany.
The Ministry of Finance has incorporated much of the international discussion to update the German regulatory environment with the changes of Article 3 of the German Foreign Tax Code and two new administrative principles, 'Transfer Pricing' (from 2021) and '2020'.
Recent publications of the OECD are explicitly attached as appendices to the TP administrative principles, reinforcing the importance of the OECD in shaping the TP consensus in Germany.
The two new administrative principles replace seven existing guidelines from the Ministry of Finance and go a long way in reshaping the German TP regulatory environment. This article focuses on the changes likely to have the most profound impact on future German TP audits.
Significant changes for the documentation of intangible contributions
Overall, the most noticeable changes to the German regulatory environment relate to the areas of loss situation, intangibles, services, and financial transactions. The sections regarding intangibles and the consequences for the audit of transfer prices using additional methods are especially far-reaching.
Much of the new administrative principles clarify the German tax administration's distinct interpretation of the OECD guidelines. Notably, the German administrative principles do not distinguish between hard-to-value intangibles and other intangibles.
Valuable intangibles that demand a remuneration are considered unique and generally difficult to benchmark, with a clear-cut statement in the OECD guidelines that database license benchmarks will generally not be deemed sufficient proof for arm's-length pricing (for hard-to-value intangibles).
Regarding intangibles, the administrative principles adopt the OECD requirement of a development, enhancement, maintenance, protection and exploitation (DEMPE) contribution analysis as a separate and distinct part of the functional and risk analysis.
It should generally be expected that high-level descriptive assessments of DEMPE contributions will not be sufficient to underpin TP solutions. The broadest possible definition of intangibles will require increased documentation efforts. Interestingly, the German Ministry of Finance takes a clear view that the pure exploitation of intangibles does not attribute a share of entrepreneurial profits associated with an intangible. This aligns with the view that the exploitation of an intangible primarily indicates which entity has the obligation to make a payment and does not create economic ownership in the intangible itself.
While the legal requirements to document DEMPE contributions to intangibles in a detailed manner following the OECD principles applied only to future years, the Ministry of Finance has clarified that, in their view, the new principles have only clarifying character when it comes to assessing transfer prices. Therefore, the key provisions pertaining to how to assess intangible contribution can also be applied to current tax audits of past years.
Implications for future tax audits
In combination with the 2020 principles, the 2021 TP administrative principles are prone to substantially increase tax controversy, particularly in the field of intangibles. This relates to the fact that the OECD guidelines are quite vague regarding how to assess value creation through DEMPE contribution to intangibles. As such, tax authorities may have fundamentally different views of DEMPE contributions compared to taxpayers.
The 2020 administrative principles explicitly allow tax authorities to check or corroborate the adequacy of a taxpayer's transfer prices through alternative methods different from the presumably best method selected by the taxpayer. If tax authorities find their analysis more reliable, they can impose income adjustments. What qualifies as 'more reliable' analysis rests entirely within the discretion of tax authorities.
In TP audits, it is to be expected that German tax authorities will increasingly reject the classification of local companies as routine by claiming local DEMPE contributions and apply profit split analysis to impose higher local profits. The new views of German tax authorities on DEMPE contributions are also likely to increase rejections of intangible comparable uncontrolled price (CUP) studies in the future.
In summary, the 2020 and 2021 administrative principles have de facto shifted the burden of proof to taxpayers, putting them at significant disadvantage particularly when it comes to intangible controversies.
Recommendations for taxpayers
Taxpayers should anticipate and prepare for upcoming intangible controversies by supporting their assessment of DEMPE through in-depth reviews of functional contributions and RACE processes (responsible, accountable, consulted, informed), highlighting which contributions are pure exploitation and which cannot be considered entrepreneurial under any circumstances (and why).
Where major questions arise, multinationals should consider amending responsibilities, clarifying internal guidelines, or changing their TP model. Existing and future documentation should be adapted accordingly.
Additionally, it makes sense to proactively prepare corroboration analysis of the selected TP analysis through other methods that tax authorities are likely to apply in controversy. For example, in many cases it may be possible to support a transactional net margin method (TNMM) solution through a profit split analysis. Defending one's TP model through complementary methods naturally helps clients prevent or mitigate future controversy or litigation cases.

Hong Kong on high alert for Chinese visit as independence calls grow
By Reuters/Clare Baldwin &nbspMay 17, 2016 | 03:15 pm GMT+7
Authorities worried about increasingly strident calls for Hong Kong independence are taking no chances ahead of a rare visit from one of China's top ranking officials, shutting down swathes of the city and reportedly gluing down pavers to quell the prospect of violent protests.
Mainland Chinese media have cited the visit by Zhang Dejiang, China's No. 3 and the first senior official to come since the 2014 Occupy democracy protests, as an example of Beijing's concern and support for the Asian financial hub.
Yet tensions are so palpable that thousands police have been mobilized to secure the city during Zhang's visit, which begins on Tuesday. Local media reported pavement bricks were being cemented to prevent them being used as missiles while police were camping atop a mountain where a pro-democracy banner was hung two years ago.
Independence, a taboo topic under both British and Chinese rule, has become increasingly mainstream subject in Hong Kong, with some activists calling for an outright breakaway from China, a move some politicians say would imperil Hong Kong's economic and political future.
"These young people have no idea that they could be putting Hong Kong on a potentially dangerous collision course with the motherland and bringing an unmitigated disaster," wrote former top Hong Kong security official Regina Ip in an editorial in the state-run China Daily.
"Separatism, or rather the anti-mainland doctrine in disguise, will...doom Hong Kong."
The young activists see it differently.
"(We) are facing a very great threat from China: Our culture, our language, our people...we are dying!" said Chan Ho-tin, the head of the newly-formed National party, expected to contest legislative elections in September.
"Do (Hong Kong people) want to be a Chinese city or do they want to be an independent country? There are only two choices."
Joshua Wong, another prominent young activist who launched a new political party called Demosisto this year, wouldn't rule out taking an independence line in upcoming campaigns.
"The problem with young people is that they are not 100 percent pre-occupied with economic considerations," said Michael Tien, a Hong Kong delegate to China's parliament, the National People's Congress, which Zhang heads.
"A lot of young people saying they don't want development, they want a better environment, they want better work-life balance, they want better quality of life."
Closely monitored
Hong Kong guarantees freedom of expression under the agreement that saw Britain return its former colony to Beijing in 1997, but authorities haven't ruled out taking action against pro-independence activists.
"Any suggestion that (Hong Kong) should be independent or any movement to advocate such independence...would be inconsistent with the legal status of Hong Kong," the Department of Justice (DOJ) told Reuters.
The DOJ said it was watching for "possible criminal activities" and would "closely monitor the situation, maintain close liaison with the relevant law enforcement agencies, and take such action as may be necessary."
Hong Kong authorities said the "counter-terrorism security measures" were needed to ensure the safety of dignitaries during the visit.
China is an umbilical cord for Hong Kong's economy, with Chinese capital succoring financial markets and millions of Chinese visitors powering its tourism and retail sectors.
"Acts in favor of Hong Kong independence harm the sovereignty and security of the country, harm the prosperity and stability of Hong Kong, and harm the fundamental interests of Hong Kong," Chinese Foreign Minister spokesman Hong Lei told reporters on Monday.
Hong Kong also relies on China for food, water and electricity, making independence almost impossible in practice.
"A lot of people in Hong Kong have jobs associated with the mainland," said Holden Chow, vice-chairman of the DAB party, Hong Kong's largest pro-Beijing political party.
"If there are no more economic ties...then where are the jobs? There would be a rise in unemployment."
Don't vote for "the extremists"
While Hong Kong's independence movement is perhaps more a reflection of worsening political divisions than a realizable goal, the challenge to Beijing's authority is unnerving some.
Observers with close ties to Chinese officials say one of Zhang's priorities will be establishing relations with more moderate democrats to lower the heat.
"He will send a positive signal to any pan-democrat who is willing to have a dialogue with China," Tien said.
"This must be one of his key missions: To make sure the signal is strong enough that the electorate won't lambast the moderate pan-democrats and give all their votes to the extremists."

Oxford 2016 Jack in the Green
Oxford Jack in the Green 2016 © Tim Healey
My thanks to Tim Healey for permission to use the great pictures of the 2016 Oxford Jack-in-the-Green that accompany this post. Tims website devoted to May Morning in Oxford can be found at: www.maymorning.co.uk
The Oxford Jack-in-the-Green was revived in 1951. It appears every year in Oxford on May Morning. OUMM (Oxford University Morris Men) introduced Jack-in-the-Green to their May Morning festivities in 1951. At that time they were unaware that a Jack-in-the-Green was a common sight in and around Oxford in the 19th century. The Oxford Jack is usually first seen near Magdalen Tower just before 6am and leads an informal procession up 'The High' to Radcliffe Square, where the first dance of the day: "Bonny Green" from Bucknell, starts at about 6.25am. Jack then moves through New College Lane and Broad Street, concluding with a massed 'Bonny Green Garters' outside St. John's College in St. Giles around 8.30am. After breakfast the University & City Men usually take Jack to a display for the children of St. Ebbe's school when May Morning falls on a weekday.
It has long been my hope to be able to obtain at least one picture of every Jack that goes out across the UK (and beyond) each year to add to our online Flickr archive and provide a visual record of this wonderful tradition for generations to come. At least twenty one Jacks went out this year and I'm extremely grateful to everyone who has helped me to gather pictures of thirteen Jacks so far.
I'm still trying to track down pictures of eight Jacks from this year. If you can help and have the copyright owners permission please get in contact via the 'Contact us' tab at the top of this blog. Copyright of any pictures added to our archive always remains with the original photographer and pictures are only ever used with permission of the copyright owner.
The eight Jacks I'm still looking for pictures of from 2016 are:
Ilfracombe Jack-in-the-Green
Winchcombe Jack-in-the-Green
Knutsford Jack-in-the-Green
Yaxley Jack-in-the-Green
Brentham Jack-in-the-Green
Bovey Tracey/Grimspound Morris Jack-in-the-Green
Kentwell Hall Jack O'Green
Wythenshawe Hall Jack 'O' Green
If you haven't seen a Jack-in-the-Green yet this year there is still at least one more to come. The Carshalton Straw Jack is a celebration of Harvest that takes place in September each year. The straw Jack is ritually stripped in the evening so that all present can take a keepsake and then he is burnt in a brazier. It is hoped that he will be burnt as a complete figure one year. The date for this event is still to be confirmed but you can visit the website here: Carshalton Straw Jack

Guildford Jack-in-the-Green
Guildford 2016 Jack-in-the-Green © Jodi Bailey
Many thanks to Jodi Bailey for these fantastic pictures of this years Guildford Jack-in-the-Green.
The Guildford Jack-in-the-Green was revived in 1976. Known as The Guildford Bush, this Jack is accompanied by the Pilgrim Morris Men of Guildford during the annual Summerpole all day event in Guildford. They meet at the bottom of the High street and process to Holy Trinity Church with the Maypole. The Maypole is erected on Castle Green and the dancing involving guest Morris sides begins. This Jack was revived in 1976 by Pilgrim Morris. For many years the Jack was carried by folklorist George Frampton. Pilgrim Morris were founded in 1972, during the summer months they dance around Surrey and north-east Hampshire, and occasionally further afield. The Guildford Jack is built from Laurel and usually stands just ten inches higher than the occupant who is "Usually somebody of less than average height." "The activity of the bush depends on the inclination of the carrier. Sometimes it gets in the way of the dancers and entertains the public and at other times it just stands around"
It has long been my hope to be able to obtain at least one picture of every Jack that goes out across the UK each year to add to our online Flickr archive and provide a visual record of this wonderful tradition for generations to come.
I'm still trying to track down pictures of a number of Jacks from this year.

The fire started near a motor of a pellet mill at New England wood Pellet LLC on Sunday night. Officials say what ignited the fire remains under investigation.
Investigators say workers immediately fought the fire using a portable fire extinguisher. During their efforts, the fire extended into the conveyor system that takes finished wood pellets throughout the manufacturing process.
Police Chief David Chamberlain says the workers were completely unaware that fire had spread and immediately called 911 once they found out.
Three firefighters suffered minor injuries during the 29 hours it took to suppress the fire.


At TopRank Online Marketing, our Monday mornings are usually filled with lots and lots of coffee, the clicking and clacking of keyboards being furiously typed on, and the chatter of internal meetings. But this week, our Monday was full of bacon, social media, and the law.
Several of our social media savvy team attended the monthly Minneapolis and St. Paul Social Media Breakfast that delved into how social media and the law intersect.
A panel of lawyers, Emily Buchholz and John C. Pickerill, answered questions about everything ranging from copyright infringement and employers asking for account logins to what photos are ok to post and how to deal with negative comments online. If you're involved in the social media world, legal issues can and will affect you.
Expect to receive the same consequences online as in real life. Freedom of speech is applicable to online communications, however you can still be fired for anything. Personal responsibility.
Pinterest is a copyright infringement machine. It is only going to be a matter of time for someone to use for evil instead of good. Make sure you're aware of copyrighted material. Although less likely, you could be held responsible for infringement.
There is a ton of gray area – it all comes down to the details of each case. It's best to use your best judgement and common sense. If you have a doubt, don't post it. Once you do, it's out there for good. It's all about risk assessment.
If running sweepstakes in social channels, be sure you're aware of all of the rules & regulations for each state in terms of disclosures. Many are playing the risks until the FTC starts to get involved, since there aren't many case studies to guide the way.
Using short phrases in online messaging will keep your quotation/attribution vague (and safer) – if you use the entire "heart" of a story, you're running the risk of copyright infringement.
If you want to cover your bases for utilizing photos of customers/attendees at an event or business in social media, be sure to clearly post that by attending they are implying consent unless otherwise documented.
Facebook's decision to take down the "I Hate the Pedal Pub" Page was more about Facebook's judgement of its own site than it would be for the Pedal Pub to have legal grounds to have it removed. Be careful of what you post–checking site guidelines and being aware of what is acceptable (and not accepted) is important on every online platform.
Taking photos of people at an event and sharing the photo on social media sites is fairly low-risk. However, the more places you share the photo (i.e. in a blog post or in promotional material) the higher your risk becomes as more and more people view the image. There also tends to be more backlash when they are photos of children.
When running a social contest, make the rules clear, short and sweet to increase the odds that the participants will actually read and understand them.
Use short phrases and include a link to the content that you pulled the quote from when using a direct quote in a social message. The clearer you are with attribution, the better.
If content that you posted in a social message is fodder for a lawsuit, or you have been requested to cease and desist, taking down the content is usually an effective way to avoid litigation.
Following someone on Twitter or retweeting something they write doesn't necessarily imply endorsement. It is still a gray area. However, engaging in a like is associated with approving of that specific content. If you're uncomfortable with how your online interaction will appear to others, don't do it.
When it comes to using any non-original content it is important to be as specific and clear as possible. Remember to attribute, link to the necessary sources (especially with disclaimers, rules etc.). Infringement travels, and you don't want to get stuck with a bad outcome. Read guidelines and laws first to make sure you know what you can and can't do.
Don't necessarily delete all negative reviews/comments. They give you the opportunity to address any bad vibes. Plus, it looks a little fishy if all you have are rave reviews. Allowing all voices to be heard helps minimize your risk of being accused of false advertising.
You can't say anything just because you have the power to type it in. Be honest and truthful. Think your actions through–if it seems like a gray area, think it through even harder.
Know the rules. It's easier to break them if you pretend they don't exist, but doing so opens you up for litigation, and backlash in an arena where news travels fast.
A big thanks to all the lawyers who took part in the panel, and the audience members who thought of great questions to ask! As well as Mykl Roventine and the Social Media Breakfast MSP volunteers.
Have you run into any sticky situations with social media and the law? What are some questions or tips you have on dealing with them?
Well done Eliza, Aime, Katie and Emily!
Great things to remember while posting!
I am happy to see that law's. Its great.
If it isn't yours, and you don't know the original source, don't post it, specifically, photos or art. Disclaimers do not absolve you from copyright infringement. 'Posting first and apologizing after the fact' is the bane of the artist's online existence.
Attributing, citing and quoting while nice are no substitute for asking the original artist, composer, author's permission before you include their work. Failing to seek and get permission to use another's work can leave you open.for a varity of reprecussions including facing charges of copyright infringmennt. Always ask first.
Great advice. Definitely I will bookmark it.
We wouldn't publish their stuff on our website, we just want to alert our followers to their great blog posts, which in the end is good for them too.
There are lots of grey areas with social media sharing, and I'd like some advice on this one. I'm pretty certain the answer is "no, we can't link to their blogs", but I just want to check.
Everything that is on the internet is free to use for annyone! You are destroying net neutrality! A lot of artists don't mind if there work is copied by other's, that just means they like what they've made! And some people actually give credit to the artist.
I don't like this you people spread lies about how art is not free for everyone.
People make parodies! Just accept it!
The media industries took enough money from the artists!
With the internet artists have mever been this free and what you do will put them back in the shackles of the industry.
