In Germany, the legal payment period for any kind of purchase is 30 days. Many companies offer discounts to speed up payment. After all, their own liquidity is at stake. Usually, discounts vary between 2 and 3%, if the price is paid within a shorter payment period. The promised price reduction encourages the customer to settle an invoice quickly. This provides advantages for both the issuer of an invoice, since he will get his money earlier, and for the recipient of the invoice, since he can save money.
Two questions remain: do you deduct the discount from the gross or the net amount? And, will my software be able to cope with all that? After all, it is not the original amount that gets paid, the difference, in other words, the discount, has to be taken into account as well. And finally, the VAT share of the discount should be corrected somehow. All this sounds pretty complicated. The answer to the first question is quite easy: a cash discount is always deducted from the gross amount. The answer to the second question is: With the correct settings, the entire process can be implemented smoothly into Odoo.
1) Create a new tax (by copying the existing tax for 19%) and call it “tax included in price”.
2) Create a new “Reconciliation model” for the respective bank account (this needs to be done for each bank account affected) by clicking on the button “More” in the dashboard.

text: Howard Greenberg Gallery is pleased to announce an exhibition of rare vintage prints by one of the twentieth century’s preeminent masters of photography. The exhibition coincides with Munkacsi’s Lost Archive at New York’s International Center of Photography. In Europe until 1934 and in America thereafter, Hungarian born photographer Martin Munkacsi (1896-1963) single-handedly changed the look of photojournalism and fashion photography. Munkacsi defied convention by incorporating a sense of motion, dramatic camera angles, and elements of whimsy into his work. His vision is now well understood to have had an impact on an entire generation of photographers. This exhibition explores this influence through many of Munkasci’s iconic images.

But another set of things happened. My purpose changed when I met my goals, and the personalities once mentioned here have largely faded into obscurity. The content here, the tone, and the mission changed, as did I. The audience also grew and changed, too.
This blog has sat tacit for about a year (at the time of this writing) as I pondered what direction if any my writing should take. My theses on the topics presented here have stood for over a decade and have not changed. I stand by the integrity of the work which the Internet still holds in some manner or form, but I wish to update the material (and treat it to the better copy editing that it deserved the first time through!).
If you’re at all familiar with the writings of a fellow named Rushdoony, he coined and often used a phrase that I believe applies to the persons to whom I’ve alluded.
To put my sentiment a different way, I find myself returning to this unpleasant analogy which I have used in blog posts in the past: the stool sample. Oh, in many instances, it is essential to examine stool at early stages in treatment. Is there occult (hidden) blood? Is there a parasite? Is there an infection with a virus or a pathogenic bacteria? Rarer still, bowel contents can be examined for content, and sometimes one observes it to retrieve foreign bodies. These assessments cannot be made by any other means, but they are not the focus of the care of one who is ill.
Much of the early material presented on this website was very much like examining stool — the excrement of pontiffs who wished to make a living by selling a lifestyle. They made stool up as they went along, spinning yarns and webs and blowing smoke as they went. They provoked and played on fear in the hearts of Christian parents, promising even centuries of success to those who would follow their prescription for sin sick lives of insignificance. I examined the writings and the podcasts and the films offered up as the ‘how to’ manuals for this lifestyle.
Someone once mocked these efforts by noting that they all could be changed to a single title: “Patriarchy: UR Not Doing it Right!” If you didn’t get what they promised, the fault was your own. And every pontiff had a special gem of wisdom that no one else had, so you had to keep buying the latest whatever so that you could get the newest, secret pearl from heaven that only that guru could offer you.
I went through the excrement, and I critiqued what they proffered. I performed the analysis of the stool sample, At the time it was essential to do so. A decade later, however, what do I want my work and my time to add to the world? I don’t want it to be a compendium of excrement samples. There may be excrement to come, and I may play pathologist again at some point in the future, Like the poor, I suspect that the aberrant doctrine and the charlatan pontiffs we will always have with us. (Thanks to freak show cable, it looks like we’re stuck with the Duggars, too.) And as PT Barnum started, there will be no dearth of unsuspecting people who will buy what amounts to excrement in the fullness of time.
That said, I don’t want my life to be about someone else’s excrement, nor do I want it to consume any more of my time than it already has. There are times and seasons, and I would like for this season to end. I believe that the season along with the audience turned a whole decade ago anyway. The Kingdom of God was never eating and drinking or lifestyle elements, and no one should be trying to sell righteousness, peace, or joy. What do you have, and what do you need more of in your life? I know what I want in mine, and it’s not other people’s filth.
For a new season comes a deliberately new direction, tone and mission. It has been so for some time, and the best of the writing that once appeared here has been captured elsewhere. That which is relevant will always survive the editing and shuffling. Truth is transcendent that way. I may decide to publish a book or a series of them, and I’m sure that the time worthy elements that once appeared here will re-emerge. Time will tell.
In the interim, if you’re searching for something that you once read here, feel free to drop me an email, and I’ll see if I can assist you.

The highest city in Europe famed for its diversity in sport, leisure and cultural offerings.
A pioneer of winter sports, Davos is one of Europe’s oldest ski resorts having built the world’s first T-bar lift in 1934, thus establishing itself as a mecca for skiers and snowboarders alike. Set in a high, flat-bottomed valley in the Graubünden region of the Swiss Alps, Davos shares its slopes with its famous neighbour, Klosters, offering an incredible 320 km of magnificent ski runs. Being a city, Davos is bigger than most ski resorts with a wide choice of bars, restaurants, luxury ski chalets, hotels and apartments.
Davos has two main centres, Dorf and Platz, which are approximately 2 km apart. Dorf is better placed for accessing the slopes whilst Platz offers easy access to the sports facilities, shopping and nightlife. Davos is well-known as the leading conference centre in the Alps, hosting the World Economic Forum in late January, which attracts over 3,000 delegates every year. As you can imagine accommodation gets booked up well in advance during this period so it is important to plan ahead if you are looking to stay in a luxury chalet at this time of the year.
Davos-Klosters has four mountains - Parsenn, Jakobshorn, Rinerhorn and Madrisa - all easily accessible via lifts, cable cars and funicular railways. Linking Davos to Klosters, Parsenn offers runs for all abilities as well as one of the longest runs in Europe. Snowboarders and freeskiers tend to head to Jatz Park on Jakobshorn which is home to one of Europe’s largest superpipes whilst Madrisa and Rinerhorn are excellent for ski-loving families.
"The scale and quality of the skiing shouldn't be underestimated in Davos".
Non-skiers will not be disappointed by what Davos has to offer. The city has excellent sports facilities including Europe’s biggest natural ice rink, a leisure centre, bowling-bar-bistro, and a climbing wall. There are plenty of attractive walks to enjoy, romantic horse and carriage rides around the enchanting valley and tobogganing on Rinerhorn and Schatzalp. Late December sees the world’s oldest and most renowned ice hockey tournament, the Spengler Cup, take place and in February the Sertig Classic cross country race attracts a number of competitors and supporters.

1. Anna, I have watched the first 3 minutes or so of that video - I just *can't* watch the full thing, for some reason. I'm going to try again today (with headphones this time - maybe it's got something to do with the noise-level in this house?), because I would like to see it. But......he's claiming to be Mayan? Because if so, well.....there ARE no "Mayan" any more. (Which is what bugged me the first time I tried to watch it). It's like claiming to be a Canaanite - they're gone now. You might have a touch of their blood....but not enough to call yourself "Canaanite" (or "Mayan" :wink:) Yes, it's nit-picky......and I need to get over it.
4. Life: 20 degrees this AM. Cold enough to kill the hoppers and scorpions.....and cold enough to freeze ME. :brr: The wood stove is going full-force.....and it's STILL cold. Ah, well - no complaints. I'd rather the bugs be dead.
AcTah the mayan super hero? yeah we were talking about that a while back - no? I thought so, but I got...ummm yeah..life is all over the place right now - and I was talking to the goat folks and the muslim folks and I thought I talked to you ladies about it but...goodness who even knows?
Being a mayan or not - he is not a scientist. So if you know much about science it is hard to watch for that factor. Also the translator is not very accurate.
the important thing about the video is that it carries the ideas of many many people who are expecting the end of an age this winter. Most of the folks that have a speck of goodness in them are hoping for an end of evil. If they are still around in the spring they will be like prisoners who, after being told they were almost done with their jailtime, find out they still have another decade to serve. They will be angry and devestated.

There are 25,000 ume trees in Yoshino Baigo, the 4km stretch that runs between Hinatawada and Futamatao stations on the JR Ome line. Over 300,000 people flock to the area (including the Ume-no-Koen park, which costs a nominal ¥200 to enter) during the month-long Ume Matsuri (Plum Festival).

Show traveling season is right around the corner. Before the start of this season, many equine enthusiasts perform basic, yet essential, maintenance on their trailers. Investing time to do routine preventative maintenance will ensure your trailer will be in optimal shape to provide safe travel for precious cargo. Checking the following parts will ensure your horse trailer preparation for show season is a success.
Tires are the first horse trailer preparation part to check before traveling for show season. The treads should be intact with no cracking on all of your tires, even your spare.
In addition, examine the tire pressure, as tires tend to lose pressure during the colder winter months.
Check the lights of your horse trailer as well before traveling. There’s nothing more dangerous than turn lights that refuse to blink in the dark.
Make sure to plug in your trailer lights. Also, check to make sure they are all working properly.
Wheel bearings are also an important horse trailer preparation part to ensure safe show season traveling.
Once a year the wheel bearings on horse trailers should be repacked. They are in dire need if you can feel a lot of play when you jack up your trailer and rock the wheel back and forth.
If you have your wheel bearings serviced with a professional, your brakes will be checked at the same time.
For those doing it yourself, you will want to inspect the brake pads to make sure they have plenty of life. Also, make sure that each brake is fully engaged and that the breakaway battery has a good charge.
Your Gooseneck hitch needs to be working properly for horse trailer preparation as well. Regardless if you have a Gooseneck or a pull-behind trailer, your hitch is your tow vehicle’s only connection point to your horse.
Make sure the hitch still fits tightly and is in great condition, without any movement that might indicate broken or weakened welds. When connected, your trailer should tip upwards very slightly.
Now is the time for some serious Spring cleaning. Your Gooseneck trailer has likely been sitting in the field all winter long being bombarded by the elements. Check your trailer over from hitch to bumper to make sure that everything is operating smoothly and safely.
If you travel to a lot of horse events and shows, you have probably take to using your horse trailer as a portable storage unit for gear, blankets and other horse stuff. This is an ideal time to go through your dressing room or tack storage to make sure that you only have gear on board that you will need for an upcoming event. Dressage and other costumed performers should clean out their closets, only keeping what you absolutely must have for the next event.
Living quarters need a regular going-over as well to make sure that your appliances are working correctly, you’ve got plenty of water and gas on board that any motorized equipment is still operating properly.
One of the best feelings a horse owner can have is knowing that your horse trailer is sound and your horse is traveling safely. Don’t hesitate to contact Gooseneck Trailers with the link below for more information!

A two-sided hypothesis is used when there is no strong directional hypothesis expected in a research study. Essentially, the researchers do not know if a treatment effect will cause an increase or decrease in some sort of outcome.
A two-sided hypothesis requires a relative large difference between groups, observations, or association in order to detect significance versus a one-tailed test. Two-tailed tests are therefore thought to be more rigorous because more observations have to be collected in order to achieve adequate statistical power.

I've got a new exhaust to fit 997.1 turbo.
Can you help me put a list of fasteners / studs / sizes and qty's for all the things I' should be looking to change when removing and re-fitting please?
Are the gaskets reuseable at the Cat ?
Alastair, have you stuck your head under the back and had a look at the turbo studs yet I have been putting this off for a couple of years as there is nothing left of the heads on the studs at the turbo`s which is par for the course not a job for the faint hearted nick (Easternjets) did a good write up when he did his.
are you doing the manifolds as well ?
Definitely have a look at what you've got in front of you in terms of rusty hardware. If they are too far gone, you may need a number of tools to get the rusty bolts out.
And usual mechanical tools/jack/jack stands for doing it all up again.
What should have been a 3hr job took a day and a half. I had all the tools excluding the Dremel, so factor in the time and tools required to complete the job vs an indie.
I'm not familiar with the turbo cat, but if it has the 3 bolt pattern, the top one is a P.I.A to get to and requires dedication to get it off.
Thanks for the info. I'll have a look at the guide referred to above and have a poke around underneath, have a feeling the cats where off recently to swap turbo actuators.
Tool above in stock, 2 day window might not be !
Hi I did mine a few years ago. Firstly you don't need to remove the exhaust to do the actuators (I believe).
The gen 1 system is all in one piece, there are two straps at the centre rear that hold the silencer to the chassis, they will more than likely be rusted solid and will snap when you try to free them. The biggest PIA is the studs and nuts onto the back of the turbo's, they will be totally shot. You will need either special tools or I used a pair of small mole grips and an old chisel to split the nuts. The studs will actually hold up pretty well it's the nuts that take hours to get off.
There's also the two Lambda sensors, the wiring runs up to just inside the engine bay and they unclip and allow you to remove the entire exhaust in one piece. I did mine in my garage/drive jacked up with axle stands and I think it took me most of the day to get the 8 nuts off. That's all that holds the exhaust on 8 nuts and 2 straps.
I also did the manifolds as one of mine had a blow at the joint.
Another thing to consider is plugs and coil packs as well as this will save you about £600 in labour if you get a dealer to do it.
I put a Kline on mine and all the fittings were good, mine a 2009 though but you would think they would be cheese by now.
How old is your turbo Alastair? Also mileage might give us an idea of how rusted out the fittings are. Please post up some pics of progress. I intend to change mine in the future and had a good route around recently just cleaning up the inter-coolers etc. Mine on 47k and I was nicely surprised on how rust free the nuts fittings were.
Removing them may be a different story though!!
I swapped mine for a Capristo a few years back & it was a bit of a pain.
The nuts were as previously mentioned, corroded down to rusty brown blobs.
I used a combination of dremmel with mini cutting disks, needle nosed vice grips, small chisel, a nut splitter & a tiny pipe wrench.
When i put the new exhaust on, i used brass nuts to avoid corrosion in future.
The original studs appear to be either stainless or titanium as they were fine.
I wouldn't use stainless nuts as they will gall up if the studs are stainless too & you'll never get them off again.

Whereas there was a local population someplace this imposture was not shown up; in the notion of the human race we discovered an abstract assumption of universality which served as cover for the most practical practices. On the other aspect of the ocean there was a race of less-than-humans who, because of us, may attain our status a thousand years therefore, maybe; briefly, we mistook the elite for the genus.
Suggestions having to do with health problems with signs that could stem from one thing potentially more serious – often end up with a disclaimer, so here is mine. I am not a physician of any type, and I am not even peeking into a few of those good books to re-phrase their text. It’s all from my common knowledge concerning the human nature – so in the event you select to check something out – be my guest, it’s your health in query.
If he shows combat, the troopers fire and he’s a useless man; if he offers in, he degrades himself and he is no longer a person in any respect; shame and fear will split up his character and make his inmost self fall to pieces. The business is conducted with flying colours and by specialists: the ‘psychological services’ weren’t established yesterday; nor was mind-washing.

School leaves me with very little free time, but somehow I managed to find just enough of it to pick up a new hobby: woodworking.
It all began over Christmas break. I learned how to use a laser cutter, and before I knew it I was hooked. Drawing from my love for all things science, I started cutting anatomy-related objects out of wood. As it turned out, enough people liked what I was doing and now I have an Etsy store with an entire line of anatomy-themed keychains.
I’m learning a lot more about wood. So far my favorite is this beautiful red wood called padauk. It’s perfect for making anatomical hearts!
And, of course, I had to make some space-related items too.
Most recently, I added some radiology-themed items to the shop.
I love making them. If they make others happy too, great!
I feel terrible that I haven’t been writing here because I’ve been involved in some really cool things that deserve to be mentioned. School and work have kept my brain so busy that I just haven’t had the energy to write for me. But I’m hoping to change that!
During my spring break, I attended a NASA Social to learn about the first-ever NASA mission to travel to an asteroid, retrieve a sample, and bring the sample back to Earth.
During the one-day event, I got to see the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft at Lockheed Martin. In addition to that, I got to speak with engineers about the inspiration behind and challenges facing OSIRIS-REx, took a tour of the mission operations center, and got an up close look at Lockheed’s massive asteroid wall.
Why is this mission such a big deal?
Asteroids are composed of leftover debris from the solar system formation. This can teach us about the history of our planets, as well as answer the question: Where did we come from?
OSIRIS-REx will launch in 2016, meet the asteroid in 2018, depart the asteroid in 2021, and return home with samples in 2023. What makes this such an incredible mission is that the spacecraft will only make contact with the asteroid for about five seconds while it gets its samples!
OSIRIS-REx, or Origins-Spectral Interpretation-Resource Identification-Security-Regolith Explorer, is the first NASA mission to bring samples from an asteroid back to Earth.
It will launch this Fall, and orbit the sun for a year until finally using Earth’s gravitational field to move it long its path to Bennu. It will spend another year mapping potential sample sites on the asteroid.
A picture of the sample capsule and TAGSAM.
A sampling arm, called TAGSAM, will release a burst of nitrogen gas which will cause rocks and soil to be stirred up and captured by the samples head. After this brief encounter with Bennu’s surface, the sample capsule will separate from the OSIRIS-REx spacecraft and return to Earth. NASA hopes to collect between 60 and 2000 grams of asteroid material.
The OSIRIS-REx spacecraft will travel to the asteroid Bennu. Scientists chose Bennu because of its composition, size, and proximity to our planet. It’s considered a rare or “primitive” asteroid, meaning that it hasn’t changed significantly since it formed nearly 4.5 billion years ago. Because of this, scientists hope to find organic molecules on Bennu like those that led to the origin of life on Earth.
Admittedly I knew nothing about OSIRIS-REx when I applied for the NASA Social. After attending the Orbital ATK rocket launch (which was sadly scrubbed) in December, I jumped at the chance to attend another event during my break from school. I would have gone to any one of them, but I’m so glad this was the one I ended up at. Learning about this mission and touring Lockheed Martin was such an incredible experience.
And the other attendees made this social one to remember. Everyone was so interesting and I loved hearing about what got them interested in science and space exploration. I really hope to see some of them at the OSIRIS-REx launch in September!
If you’re interested in attending an event like this, check out the list of upcoming NASA Socials and apply.
This post originally appeared on my old blog, Bottle Up the Crazy, in 2011.
Would it be strange to say that one of my favorite places in Los Angeles is the Museum of Death in Hollywood? Probably. Its location makes it seem like a tourist destination, much like a wax museum or a “house of freaks,” but I can assure you that it is anything but a novelty venue. Instead of focusing on shock value, co-founders Cathee Shultz and James Healy aim to educate visitors about the history and reality of death.
I still remember the small poster that hung on the wall at my first cadaver lab: “Mortui Vivos Docent,” or “Let the dead teach the living.” While I would argue that I have an inquisitive mind when it comes to mortality, others would say that it is more of a morbid curiosity. Since I was young I have always had a fascination with death. It is not so much the removal of a person from this world that intrigues me, but rather what their body can teach us.
I’ll dive into my fondness for anatomy and physiology another time, however. The Museum of Death provides a unique experience (don’t let the giant skull outside fool you). Yes, the pictures are graphic, but if you can sit through all 30 Saw movies, you will have no problem making it through the museum.
You start in the serial killer room, which features newspaper clippings, art, and letters from various famed killers. Most of it is tacked up on the wall because the owners are constantly adding and changing the display as new items come in. The most interesting part was learning that both founders have reached out to various serial killers, including John Wayne Gacy and Charles Manson. If you have ever read the book “The Last Victim” by Jason Moss, you will understand why this is such a big deal.
The next rooms walk you through the history of the death penalty and the funeral process. The museum has a collection of matchbooks and fans from various funeral homes, including those with the most unfortunate names – Butcher Family Funeral Home, really? If you can stomach it, there is a video playing that describes the embalming process. It looks like one of those awful educational movies you would watch in grade school. From there you can look at a small collection of caskets, or you can go to what I guess to be the most popular room, the Tate-LaBianca room – or better known as the Charles Manson room.
Having just finished reading “Helter Skelter,” this room was the most interesting to me. It was also the most disturbing. It features photos from the crime scene and a tape of documentaries about the murders. The disturbing part was not the graphic images; however, it was my lack of a reaction to seeing them. I have done a remarkable job (and I don’t mean this in a pat-me-on-the-back kind of way) of detaching myself from death. Working in cadaver labs has helped me to develop a thick skin, but I also think that I have been desensitized thanks to movies and the news.
There are a few other really interesting rooms, but I’ll let you discover those for yourself. On my way out I stopped to talk with Cathee for a little while. I was curious about what motivated her to create the museum. We geeked out a bit over our shared love of anatomy and mortality and I wish that I had discovered this place sooner. After walking through the entire museum, I thought it was really cool that she reminded visitors to go live life as they left. The museum doesn’t exist to mock or make light of such a heavy topic, but rather it acts as a reminder to respect, appreciate, and enjoy life.
So next time someone cuts you off in traffic or gets your order wrong at Starbucks, add some perspective and let it go. And if that doesn’t work, re-read that Steve Jobs quote up there. If he can make you buy the same thing over and over again by slapping an “i” on it, then surely he can convince you to expand your horizons*.
* Don’t huff and puff; I am guilty of buying everything with an “i” on it, too.
Anatomy and Physiology is different from the other science classes you’ve taken, and there’s a lot of memorization. But despite the complexity of the subject matter, you’re not destined to fail. There’s a lot of information that’ll be thrown at you, most of which you’ll be hearing for the first time. In order to do well, don’t let yourself fall behind.
There’s still a lot of time before the Fall semester begins. Throughout the summer, I’ll be introducing some basic anatomy and physiology concepts. These are things that you’ll learn about at the start of your class, but going in with a foundation will help you keep your head above water. Feel free to leave questions or requests for certain concepts in the comments.
In this post, I will focus on directional terms, planes, body cavities, and membranes.
This is one of the most fundamental lessons you’ll learn anatomy, and you’ll refer to it often. It’ll help you to better understand directional terms and tell the difference between your right and your cadaver’s right.
I recommend that you stand up and mimic this pose, as it’ll come in handy throughout the semester.
The abdomen is divided up into different quadrants and regions, which act as reference points for locating underlying organs.
Chondro/o means cartilage and hypo- means below, so hypochondriac refers to the area of the upper abdomen just below the cartilage of the ribs.
Gastric means stomach and epi- means above, so epigastric refers to the area of the abdomen just above the stomach. And since we already know what hypo- means, hypogastric refers to the area of the abdomen just below the stomach.
Umbilical should be easy to remember—left over from the umbilical cord is the belly button!
Lumbar refers to the lower part of the back, so these regions should be easy to remember. Right lower back and left lower back.
Ilium is the largest of the three hip bones. The iliac crest is the curved superior border of the ilium. You can actually feel this if you put your hands on your waist and push down. So the iliac region is near the pelvis.
The abdominal and pelvic cavities are often combined, forming the abdominopelvic cavity.
A great way to remember this is to think of a baseball glove. The part that touches your hand is the visceral membrane and the outside of the glove is the parietal membrane. The space inside surrounding your hand is the serous fluid.
As part of the Texas Medical Center, I had high hopes going in, but was ultimately left disappointed by how watered down the exhibits were. The Health Museum is a great place for kids to learn about the human body, but there was nothing there that hadn’t already been discussed, in depth, in my anatomy and physiology classes.
That said, I still had a lot of fun exploring the hands-on walkthrough of the human body. It’s not every day that a room is turned into a rib cage.
In addition to the rib cage, the museum housed larger-than-life replicas of the human brain, ear, and eye. A closed exhibit led me to believe that a human heart would soon be added to the collection. Each one had interactive animation and audio connected. It’s nothing new if you’ve already completed A&P, but it’s a fun refresher nonetheless. The downside was that many of the interactive components weren’t working properly or didn’t work at all — a risk you take with so many children pounding on buttons.
As you pedal, so does the skeleton. After studying kinesiology, you know how your bones and joints work to perform specific movements, but it’s awesome to see it in real-time. It’s a really simple activity, but easily one of the most enjoyable for this anatomy-lover.
Admission is only $9 for non-member adults, and $7 for children and seniors. I visited on a Sunday morning, and it wasn’t crowded at all so I didn’t feel like I had to rush through any of the exhibits. If you’re bringing children, plan to spend a few hours, as there are a lot of interactive stations for them to explore. As adults, we probably spent two hours there and felt like we had seen everything we wanted to.

Some time before the 1992 British Grand Prix, the manager of a local toy/model shop ran a competition: name the first three finishers in the GP, and win a set of electric racing cars. To support this, he made a very attractive window display, with posters, model Formula One cars and a mannequin wearing full race-going clothes, which included a Marlboro T-shirt.
A few days after the manager had set-up his display, he was amazed to receive a letter from Aylesbury Vale Council, stating that a member of the council had seen the window and did not agree with the use of the T-shirt, as this allegedly condoned tobacco smoking in the area.
There is no law about the advertising of tobacco products in this context (the display was only meant to convey race-going), and the person from the council was not even an elected member. As the manager does not own the freehold to the shop, but is merely an employee of a large chain, he was compelled to remove the article of clothing.
This may be a very small problem, but we racing enthusiasts soon saw how the subject can escalate to mammoth proportions.
I heard the news on the radio which stated that Frank Williams had been fined £3,500,000. He had allowed his FW14B cars to race in Australia, in the 1992 Grand Prix. This race had been televised, and the pictures transmitted back, via satellite, to France, where they had been seen by a judge. (How was the programme brought to his attention?) He fined the Williams team owner in his absence. His crime? The fact that his televised cars carried a Camel on their bodywork. God in Heaven - how much more would he have been fined if he had been caught smoking one?
This debate caused the 1993 French Grand Prix to be cancelled, though one wondered how Formula One cars could be transported across France to other meetings?
I could not help thinking that this judge would have had a heart attack if he had ever seen the Ligiers driven by Laffite and Pironi.
To return to the Aylesbury shop manager, a model car company has re-released some historic Formula One cars, from the days of Clark and Graham Hill. So far, only Surtees' Honda has appeared in this country, so I asked when all other cars would be available. They already are on sale in other countries, but not in England, as they carry tobacco advertising on their bodywork. The manager agreed with me that some of these cars were racing before sponsorship was allowed in motor racing. When the importer asked about Clark's Lotus 49, finished in green with yellow stripes, the spokesman admitted that he did not know why it was this colour, but just assumed that it was the trade mark for some brand of cigarette. . .
So there you have it, totally unelected officials making up their own law as they go along. This by-passes The House of Commons, The House of Lords and the Monarchy (Royal Assent). So why bother having General Elections in future?

Blended Cafe Bar is an intimate little eatery in a massively large space. It’s funny, Juliana’s Fine Tuscan Cuisine, which held this space previously, never struck me as occupying an airplane hangar-sized room. Perhaps the owners plan on holding line-dancing lessons or renting the extra space out for corporate meetings.
It’s distractingly large is what I’m trying to say.
But it’s bright and tidy —though oddly there’s a plastic carpet protector on the bench that serves as a banquette along the wall — and there’s no reason you can’t have a private conversation without being overheard by the people at the next table, which may or may not be in a different zip code.
The website for Four Guys Pho says that the Vietnamese restaurant is also the project of brothers, though no names are offered. And when I called the restaurant to ask, the gentleman who answered the phone said that if I wanted to know their names I would have to come to the restaurant because he wasn’t authorized to give that information out over the phone.
Maybe it should be called the Soup of the Secretive Siblings.
Whatever. The food, especially the pho, was quite good when I visited recently.

"What baby bump is everyone talking about? I don't see it."
Khloe Kardashian is yet to confirm whether or not she is expecting her first child, but some fans think they know the truth.
The reality TV star sparked further speculation over Halloween after appearing to reveal her 'bump' in a Snapchat with boyfriend Tristan Thomson.
However, some eagle-eyed social media users are beginning to question the rumours after Khloe's appearance at sister Kim Kardashian's cherry blossom-themed baby shower.
Thrown to celebrate Kim's third child - who will be born via a surrogate - the party was attended by Khloe, who wore a blue sundress which appeared to conceal her stomach.
People began suggesting that the 'Keeping Up With The Karashians' star isn't pregnant after all, as her belly remained well-covered.
"What baby bump is everyone talking about? I don't see it," said one baffled fan.
"I knew she was not pregnant but she still looks beautiful," wrote another.
Y’all still talking about how she’s pregnant! She’s obviously not pregnant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
While appearing on Snapchat, the 33-year-old left the bottom half of her body out of the video, cutting it off just below the shoulders.
The starlet was also seen holding a wine glass during the course of the event, although some users pointed out that it could have been holding a soft drink.
Meanwhile, her half-sister Kylie Jenner is also yet to confirm rumours that she is expecting her first child with rapper boyfriend Travis Scott.
The makeup mogul recently convinced fans that she was engaged after appearing to sport a ring on her left hand.

Martin Russell took charge of his first game as Bray Wanderers new head coach. Wanderers made one change to the starting line up from the victory over St. Patrick’s Athletic the week previous. Ronan Coughlan returned from suspension in place of Ger Pender who dropped to the bench. Rhys Gorman returned to the bench after a spell out with injury.
Wanderers played for all but three minutes of this game with ten men after Conor Kenna was sent off for handball on the line. New Ireland international Graham Burke scored twice, and Sam Bone, Dan Carr and Dave McAllister also found the net in an easy win for Rovers.
Burke opened the scoring on 4 minutes from the penalty spot after Kenna handled on the line. Wanderers ten men held out for the remaining minutes of the first half. Eventually Rovers made the extra man tell as Wanderers faded in the second half in the warm weather. Gary McCabe limped off after 52 minutes. A minute later, Rovers added a second when Sam Bone scored low past Moran.
Burke fired home the third from the edge of the area on 75 minutes. Dan Carr tapped in the fourth at the back post on 83 minutes before David McAllister fired a long range shot past Moran on 86 minutes to complete the rout.
Shamrock Rovers: 30 Gavin Bazunu; 2 Ethan Boyle, 18 Joey O’Brien, 5 Lee Grace, 11 Seán Kavanagh; 27 Brandon Kavanagh, 6 Greg Bolger, 29 Sam Bone, 17 Joel Coustrain; 28 Graham Burke; 9 Daniel Carr.

Have you been Tebow-tized? Have you been inspired by the miraculous finishes that the Broncos’ quarterback Tim Tebow has pulled off this season? Are you a believer in his grace as a performer and a spokesperson?
Are you tired of the religious puns that seem to be a part of just about every article and news report on the player who is the most talked about story in sport?
Journalists, reporters and writers, including yours truly, simply can’t keep themselves from tripping over the religious double-entendres that make writing about the newest NFL sensation so much fun. Not only is his play, well, unusual, but as an avowed, out of the closet, some say in your face, evangelical Christian, he makes things just too tempting for those who toil at the altar of the keyboard.
This Sunday at 2:15 p.m., No. 15 will take to field as the most talked about man in America. In the last nine weeks he has gone from riding the pine behind starting quarterback Kyle Orton (who’s he?) to becoming the NFL’s hottest player. Something odd is at work here.
It’s not just that he has led the Broncos to a series of improbable victories; it is how he has done it. He is a rather unorthodox quarterback to say the least. His throwing motion is so slow that for the first, oh call it 53 minutes of any given game, you are convinced he is the worst player on the field. But in last seven minutes something extraordinary happens. His passes suddenly find their targets; he is able to run for first downs by the scantest of margins. He will take time off the clock on drives that inch down the field before finally scoring go-ahead touchdowns.
But it’s not just Tebow. The Broncos defense has upped its game since he began his starting streak, holding opponents at bay and keeping scores close so the Broncos still have a fighting chance at the end of games. His offensive line gels in what folks are now calling “Tebow time” as well.
And then there is the opposition, which seems to be in on the act as well. Three weeks ago a Christian, Minnesota quarterback Christian Ponder, threw a last-minute interception that gave Denver the ball and allowed Tebow to take the team in for the winning score. Last week it was Marion Barber, the Chicago Bears running back. who inexplicably ran out of bounds to stop the clock, giving the Broncos just enough time to eke out a tying field goal. Then in overtime, on a play that could be characterized as a “hand of God” event, Barber had the ball stripped out of his hands and the Broncos kicked a game winner.
Finally, and perhaps the most impressive and miraculous element of this entire story, has been the performance of Broncos kicker Matt Prater. No one has ever heard of this guy before and suddenly he has become the key component of the most incredible story in sports. Last week he sent the game into overtime with a 59-yard field goal. Then he won it with a 51-yard field goal. Earlier he beat Miami in overtime with a 52-yarder. This stuff just doesn’t happen, folks.
Like I said, something odd is at work her. You can watch the continuing story of the Broncos resurrection this Sunday versus Tom Brady and the New England Patriots.
Of course you probably can miss the first 53 minutes.

After a meeting with two of Apple's top executives, RBC Capital Markets analyst Mike Abramsky said the company's primary requirement for launching a lower-end iPhone is whether the handset would provide an "innovative, category-killer experience."
Abramsky revealed the information through a set of "key takeaways" from his meeting with Apple COO Tim Cook and CFO Peter Oppenheimer on Wednesday, though he did not provide any direct quotes from the two executives. "Apples primary criterion for launching a lower-end iPhone is an innovative, category-killer experience," he wrote.
Though those familiar with Apple's design philosophy and strategy may dismiss the statement as seemingly obvious, it does run against the grain of recent assertions that Apple would release a contract-free iPhone for primarily financial reasons. For instance, Deutsche Bank analyst Chris Whitmore set off a round of speculation in June when he speculated that "it's time for a mid-range iPhone," largely based on the assumption that Apple is looking to reach the pre-paid market, which makes up two-thirds of the world's 1.5 billion mobile customers.
On Wednesday, Ticonderoga Securities analyst Brian White relayed recent Chinese reports suggesting China Telecom could release a "simplified" and more economical iPhone 4 alongside the iPhone 5 later this year. It is not known, however, whether the rumored device would require a two-year contract or would be the contract-free iPhone.
Several major media outlets (1, 2, 3) suggested earlier this year that Apple has been hard at work on a cheaper version of the iPhone that wouldn't require a carrier subsidy.
In addition to details surrounding Apple's interest in a cheaper iPhone, another takeaway from Abramsky's meeting was that Apple has maintained "sustained advantages" over Android, including an integrated approach to hardware and software, oversight of user experience and application ecosystem curation. These advantages should help the company weather the "expected explosion of low-priced Android smartphones" that will be detrimental to Nokia, Research in Motion and others, he said.
Abramsky added that he sees Apple's current legal disputes with Android vendors such as HTC and Samsung as likely to result in a settlement. Apple recently won a battle in its legal disagreement with handset maker HTC, which has said it's interested in settling outside of court.
The analyst also noted that iCloud is expected to be ready for "significant scale," with Apple having learned its lesson from the MobileMe service.
He came away from the meeting with an overall positive outlook on Apple. The executives affirmed Apple's "untapped global opportunity," especially in China, which has seen tremendous growth in recent years, the analyst said. Other emerging markets such as Latin America, the Middle East and India also provide Apple with a significant opportunity for expansion.
RBC maintains a price target of $500 for shares of Apple stock, reiterating its Outperform rating for the company.

Robert Palermo was a 2015-16 Dissertation Year Fellow whose dissertation explores the origins of the Mexican Catholic Right in the 1930s, viewed largely through the lens of the Spanish Civil War. His work emphasizes Mexico’s role as an important actor on the international stage in the interwar era.
Based on archival research conducted in Mexico City, and Madrid and Salamanca, Spain, with support from the Kellogg Institute and the Nanovic Institute for European Studies, his work is an ideological and intellectual history of the Catholic Right in Mexico. He traces its origins in the Cristero War and opposition to the institutionalization of the Mexican Revolution, to the formation of today’s mainstream Partido Acción Nacional. Palermo’s perspective is transnational, placing the Mexican Catholic Right in the context of other far right-wing movements of the day, including Franco’s Falange Española, Italian Fascism, and Eastern European clerical fascism. His project is also informed by the Mexican Left’s responses to fascism and right-wing politics, including interviews with Kellogg Fellow and prominent Mexican statesman Cuauhtémoc Cárdenas, and the Taller de Gráfica Popular archive at Notre Dame’s Snite Museum of Art.
Robert received his MA in History from San Diego State University in 2010. Previously, he served in the United States Coast Guard, and worked as a City of New Orleans paramedic.

Home Politics Democrats Are Urging Stacey Abrams to Run for Senate. She’s Listening.
Democrats Are Urging Stacey Abrams to Run for Senate. She’s Listening.
Stacey Abrams’s defeat in the Georgia governor’s race was only a few weeks old when she arrived in New York in December to meet with campaign donors and political allies. At a reception in Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood, a supporter asked her what she would do next.
Ms. Abrams, attendees recalled, said she was undecided, except on one point: She was determined to seek high office again.
Since that meeting, Ms. Abrams’s next political moment has arrived with startling speed. She is slated to give the Democratic response to President Trump’s State of the Union address on Tuesday, a task of extraordinary prominence and an unheard-of distinction for a candidate who fell short of victory in the midterms.
But Ms. Abrams’s planned rebuttal to Mr. Trump is only one element of the role she is positioned to play in national politics: Democratic Party leaders are already imploring her to put her name back on the ballot, this time as a challenger to Senator David Perdue, a Georgia Republican who is loyally aligned with Mr. Trump. Democrats believe that by challenging Mr. Perdue in 2020, Ms. Abrams could help break the Republican Party’s near-monopoly on Southern power in the Senate, and perhaps help make Georgia competitive in the presidential race.
Ms. Abrams remains undecided about running for the Senate, according to multiple people who have spoken with her directly. Her longstanding aspiration has been to serve as Georgia’s governor, and she still believes that is the most consequential job she could seek. But her allies acknowledge that Ms. Abrams is listening to her party’s entreaties, and that she has grown more open to the idea of opposing Mr. Perdue.
The party’s establishment has lined up strongly behind the idea, with Senator Chuck Schumer, the minority leader, and multiple Democratic presidential candidates lobbying her to enter the race. Charles Myers, an investor and Democratic political donor who raised money for Ms. Abrams in 2018, said he and other contributors were eager to back her in a new campaign.
More than any other candidate of 2018, Ms. Abrams has come to sit at a nexus of important forces in Democratic politics: Her candidacy became a symbol to national Democrats, first of the power that women and African-Americans exercised in the midterms, and then of an electoral system the party views as badly broken. She became something of a political martyr with her narrow loss to Brian Kemp, a Republican who supervised the election as Georgia’s secretary of state, and whom Ms. Abrams and civil rights groups accused of seeking to suppress minority votes.
In her campaign, Ms. Abrams, 45, seemed at times to preview the balancing act Democrats may seek to execute in the presidential race, mixing a progressive message on issues like health care with a vision of bipartisan government and economic growth that attracted moderate suburban whites.
DuBose Porter, a former Georgia Democratic Party chairman, said he believed Ms. Abrams was increasingly receptive to the idea of running for Senate, rather than waiting for a rematch with Mr. Kemp in 2022.
If Ms. Abrams appears to be a politician with singular appeal, capturing a Senate seat in Georgia would still be no small challenge. The state’s demographics are changing, with the booming city and suburbs of Atlanta propelling Georgia toward majority-minority status within the next decade. But no Democrat has won a Senate race there since 2000, and the last to do so, Zell Miller, was a conservative-leaning former governor whose worldview and strategy came from a now-distant political generation.
Mr. Perdue, a wealthy businessman from a politically prominent family, won his first term in 2014 by trouncing Michelle Nunn, a prized Democratic recruit, by nearly 8 percentage points.
Former Representative Jack Kingston, a Republican who sought the Senate seat in 2014 but lost in the primary, said he saw Mr. Perdue as a strong bet for re-election. In a Senate race, Mr. Kingston said, Ms. Abrams would be up against the leftward tilt of her own party: He predicted Republicans would tie her to figures like Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York, Ayanna Pressley of Massachusetts and Ilhan Omar of Minnesota, three of the liberal women of color who electrified Democrats in the midterms, and who positioned themselves well to Ms. Abrams’s left.
Ms. Abrams declined to be interviewed before the State of the Union. She has been occupied in Georgia launching a new nonprofit group, Fair Fight Georgia, that is waging a legal fight against the election rules that Democrats believe cost Ms. Abrams the race. Staying in the public eye, Ms. Abrams has been organizing “thank you” events with supporters around the state, and her group aired an ad about voting rights during the Super Bowl.
But the Senate race has been looming: Senator Kirsten Gillibrand of New York called Ms. Abrams shortly after the November election and urged her to run for Senate, and Senator Kamala Harris of California encouraged Ms. Abrams over lunch last month to run for office again, people briefed on the conversations said. Ms. Abrams met in January with Mr. Schumer and Senator Catherine Cortez-Masto, who helms the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, to discuss the campaign.
Though Democrats have long sought to regain their footing in the South — coveting Senate seats in places like Georgia, North Carolina and Tennessee — the urgency of that challenge has grown after the 2018 elections, when Democrats lost three Senate races in the rural Midwest even as they gained 40 seats in the House.
To break the Republicans’ 53-seat Senate majority, Democrats must gain three or four Republican-held seats in 2020, depending on whether they also control the vice presidency, which settles tied votes in the chamber. Mr. Perdue is one of three Southern incumbents who are likely to be seriously challenged, along with Senator Thom Tillis, Republican of North Carolina, and Senator Doug Jones of Alabama, currently the only Democratic senator in the Deep South.
Quentin James, a Democratic strategist who heads the Collective PAC, a group that backs African-American candidates, said Democrats’ best chance to take the Senate was by activating the increasingly diverse electorates in Republican-dominated Southern states.
Mr. James expressed ambivalence about the all-out drive to recruit Ms. Abrams for the Senate race, calling her a superb contender but noting that the Democratic Party had not always been so receptive to candidates like her. In her campaign for governor, Ms. Abrams faced resistance from some prominent Democratic leaders, including former Gov. Roy Barnes and former Senator Max Cleland of Georgia, who backed a white state legislator, Stacey Evans, for the Democratic nomination.
If there was early hesitation about Ms. Abrams in the midterms, there is no trace of Democratic skepticism now.
Nancy Koziol, a Democratic political donor who attended Ms. Abrams’s December event in New York, said she hoped Ms. Abrams would challenge Mr. Perdue. And, channeling Ms. Abrams’s stature in the Democratic imagination, Ms. Koziol envisioned a path leading beyond even the Senate.
