Summary: SCSI data sheet to help you understand the computerese. Some little things which took me too much time to really understand.
The SCSI interface (Small Computer System Interface) is a technical standard about the way to connect different types of devices to a computer. This interface was chosen on the Macintosh to connect hard disks since the beginning. For PCs, the SCSI interface remains a high level solution for big hard disks and other expensive devices.
If connecting a SCSI 1 device to a computer generally makes no problem, things become trickier when you have to connect SCSI 2 devices and when there are more than three devices on the bus.
If it is true that SCSI looks sometimes like a sort of black magic, one must note than half truthes or plain errors are often touted about SCSI. We tried to publish on this page only ascertained facts. However, if you discover an error, please let us know. We will correct it as soon as possible.
The logical addresses (0 to 7) are used to identify the devices connected to the bus. The host adapter (the board) is a device like others. To resolve conflicts arrising when several devices try to seize the bus at the same time, the standard states that the higher address has priority. This explains why the adapter is most of the time at address 7.
The logical address has nothing to see with the physical position of the devices on the bus (internal or external). The only rule is that two devices can't have the same address.
Terminators are resistances installed at each end of the bus (and not on any other devices). The role of these terminators is to allow the devices to ascertain the level (high or low) of each of the wires. You can think of the terminators as something necessary to allow the signal to be propagated and read, like a cello string must be tighten to give a sound under the bow.
There must be only two terminators, at each end. If the SCSI bus is internal, the terminators are on the board and on the last internal device. Likewise, if the SCSI bus is external, the terminators are on the board and on the last external device. If there are both internal and external devices, the terminator of the adapter must be inhibited.
There are theorically two kinds of terminators, active and passive ones. But there are also so called "semi-active" ones. The rule is to use the same kind at both ends.
May I add that you should not try to spare on this!

Apparently anything less that total compliance warrants being electrocuted. I don’t think this one, involving a motorist protesting at being given a speeding ticket, is as egregious as either the UCLA or University of Florida incidents. But it’s still wrong.
As with the others, there seem to be many, many people out there who think that it’s just fine for those in authority to punish you harshly if you don’t obey unquestioningly. As a practical matter, compliance seems the wiser choice, no question. As a moral matter, however, the “non-compliance equals electrocution” equation is deeply, deeply wrong.

The Walt Disney Company Announces its Intention to Launch a Tender Offer for all Remaining Euro Disney Shares and a mandatory buy-out if the 95% threshold is reached.
The Walt Disney Company released a Press Statement this morning advising of Disney’s intention to purchase all the remaining shares in Euro Disney S.C.A. and support a recapitalization of up to €1.5 billion for the Euro Disney group of companies to enable the Group to continue implementation of improvements to Disneyland® Paris, reduce debt and increase liquidity.
– The Walt Disney Company (“Disney“) announces the acquisition of 90% of Kingdom Holding Company’s (“Kingdom”) interest in Euro Disney S.C.A. (“Euro Disney”), representing 9% of Euro Disney’s outstanding shares.
– The proposed transaction will increase Disney’s interest in Euro Disney to 85.7% from 76.7%.
– The price for the transaction is €2.00 per share and will be paid in shares of Disney common stock.
– Disney also announces its intention to make a cash tender offer for all remaining outstanding shares of Euro Disney at a price of €2.00 per share, representing a 67% premium to Euro Disney’s trading price at its close on February 9, 2017.
– Subsequent to the completion of the tender offer, Disney is committed to support a recapitalization of up to €1.5 billion for the Euro Disney group of companies (“Group”) to address the Group’s financial needs.
PARIS, Feb. 10, 2017 – Today The Walt Disney Company (“Disney“) announced that it will acquire through one of its subsidiaries 90% of Kingdom Holding Company’s (“Kingdom”) shares in Euro Disney S.C.A. (“Euro Disney”) at a price of €2.00 per share, increasing its interest in Euro Disney to 85.7%. Disney also announced that this subsidiary intends to make a cash tender offer for all remaining outstanding shares of Euro Disney at a price of €2.00 per share, representing a 67% premium to the trading price at the close on February 9, 2017. Moreover, Disney has informed Euro Disney that it is committed to support a recapitalization of up to €1.5 billion for the Euro Disney group of companies (“Group”) to enable the Group to continue implementation of improvements to Disneyland® Paris, reduce debt and increase liquidity.
– If Euro Disney remains a listed company, Disney would expect the recapitalization to take the form of a subscription by the applicable Disney subsidiaries of their pro-rata share of a €1.23 billion rights offering by Euro Disney together with a backstop of (and at the same price as) the rights offering by one or more of such subsidiaries, ensuring that Euro Disney will be able to raise the full amount contemplated by the rights offering, combined with a direct €270 million cash investment in equity at the level of Euro Disney Associés S.C.A., the main operating subsidiary of Euro Disney, and contribution of the proceeds of the rights offering by Euro Disney to Euro Disney Associés S.C.A. to maintain the ownership level of Euro Disney Associés S.C.A. by Euro Disney at its current 82%. Proceeds would be used to enable the Group to continue implementation of improvements to Disneyland Paris, repay most or all of the Group’s indebtedness and increase liquidity. The rights offering described above would be subject to the prior approval of Euro Disney’s shareholders at a shareholders’ meeting.
– If Euro Disney is delisted, Disney would expect the recapitalization to be in the same amount and to also consist entirely of equity contributions to the Group, but the allocation of such contributions between Euro Disney and its subsidiaries could vary compared to what is described above. The proceeds would be used for the same purposes as described above.
The Walt Disney Company, together with its subsidiaries and affiliates, is a leading diversified international entertainment and media enterprise with the following business segments: media networks, parks and resorts, studio entertainment, and consumer products and interactive media. Disney is a Dow 30 company and had annual revenues of $55.6 billion in its Fiscal Year 2016.

Kingdom Holding Participates in the Euro Disney recapitalization by injecting €49.2 Million.
The Kingdom Holding Company confirmed today (18 November 2015) that they have fully participated in the Euro Disney S.C.A. Cash Tender Offer and Anti Dilution Mechanism as part of the recapitalization rights issue.
The Saudi Arabian based Kingdom Holding Company chaired by HRH Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Bin Abdulaziz Alsaud has injected an additional investment of €49.2 million by taking part in the Euro Disney S.C.A. financial recapitalization plan and therefore The Kingdom Holding Company maintains its 10% share of Disneyland Paris.
Kingdom Holding Company with it’s 10% share is now the resorts second largest shareholder after The Walt Disney Company which now owns 76.7% of Disneyland Paris.
The Euro Disney S.C.A. Shareholders Club wrote to shareholders yesterday to remind them of the commencement of the anti dilution mechanism part of the recapitalization plan which is scheduled to start on the 12 October 2015 and will last until 10 November 2015.
The anti dilution mechanism alows shareholders to purchase additional shares from Euro Disney at €1.25 per share prorata of what they owned on 20 February 2015.
The AMF annouced yesterday that The Walt Disney Company now own 82.15% of Euro Disney S.C.A. with a holding of 643,497,755 shares held via it’s three subsidiary companies EDL Holding Company, EDI SAS and EDLC SAS.
The below is not for publication, release or distribution directly or indirectly in the United States of America, Canada, Australia or Japan.
Euro Disney S.C.A. reminds its shareholders of the possibility to exercise, under certain conditions, a right to acquire Euro Disney S.C.A.’s shares, following the mandatory simplified tender offer, within the framework of the recapitalization plan.
Following the completion of the Offer, and as the final step in the implementation of the Euro Disney S.C.A. group’s recapitalization plan as announced on October 6, 2014, shareholders having the status of Eligible Shareholders (as defined below) have now the possibility to exercise their rights to acquire Company’s shares (the “RAS”).
(iii) on October 2, 2015, i.e., the day following the date of settlement and delivery of the Offer (on the positions on October 1, 2015 in the evening observable on October 2, 2015 in the morning).
As further described below, the number of RAS that will be granted to each Eligible Shareholder will be pro rata to its shareholding in the Company’s share capital.
The information regarding both the allocation and the exercise of the RAS will be provided to each Eligible Shareholder by its authorized financial intermediary.
At the close of trading on the Euronext yesterday (24 September 2015) The Walt Disney Company had increased it’s ownership of Euro Disney S.C.A. to 80.20%.
The Walt Disney Company now own a total of 628,259,291 shares in Disneyland Pairs through their subsidiary the EDL Holding Company LLC.
This increase is a rise of 1.30% as of 12 August 2015 when TWDC held a 78.90% stake in the company. A breakdown of Euro Disney shareholders as of 12 August 2015 is available here.
With Phase 3 of the Euro Disney S.C.A. Cash Tender Offer ending on 24 September 2015, the results of the cash tender offer will be released on 28 September 2015.
Phase 4 will then begin 6 days later and will last for 30 days. Phase 4 of the Euro Disney recapitalisation is the anti dilution mechanism, which gives shareholders the right to buy EDL shares at €1.25 in proportion of what they already own.
EDL shares closed at €1.31 on the Euronext yesturday.
Following the ruling by the Paris Court of Appeal on 8 September 2015 the AMF announced today in document number 215C1279 that Phase 3 of the Euro Disney S.C.A. public offering will closed on 24 September 2015.
The AMF’s decision follows the Paris Appeal Courts rejection of the appeal made in April by CIMA (Charity & Merger Arbitrage Fund) against the decision made by the AMF to authorize the Euro Disney mandatory cash tender offer which is part of the Disneyland Paris recapitalization plan by The Walt Disney Company.
The Euronext Paris will publish a detailed timetable for the closure of the offer in due course.

When Lafayette came to tour America 50 years after the beginning of the Revolution (at the invitation of President Monroe) he literally was the "nation's guest." All of his travel expenses were paid for by the towns and cities he visited, and all the "turnpikes" were opened for him gratis! He went to all 24 states and mobbed like a rock star by grateful Americans everywhere he went.This must have been most gratifying for a man who lost most of his money and spent five years in prison during the French Revolution!
“What was Dr. Lerned so excited about?” Joss asked.
“This is a man who actually helped us become a nation, Clara,” my father said, waving his fork in the air for emphasis.

It is the Lord who speaks, and he will carry this out.
and the hills all flow with it.
dig gardens and eat their produce.
I shared a few days back that I am in a season of change. This season hasn’t been easy on me. One filled with anxiety, pain and grief. During this season, the Lord also led me to a new spiritual director (SD) who has been journeying with me over the past 2 months.
Recently, I was so blessed to go on a retreat with my new SD. The retreat centre was far from the city, set in over 500 acres of land and completely tranquil, the weather was cool and sunny. Perfect for my tired soul. One day in a session, I lamented that I could not feel God’s presence or see past my darkness. I could not pray, journal or meditate on scripture. I wondered if Jesus was present with me at all, or was I too consumed in my own doubt, despair and anguish to even notice he was right there with me.
Today’s first reading were words of hope and restoration. It appears that the dark clouds would soon lift for Israel. Up till this point, it appeared that it was all doom for Israel – the people were deserving of judgment because they had taken the material wealth and blessings given by God to turn their hearts away from loving and serving him. As I read and re-read the reading – my heart was filled with hope and excitement.
The Lord is indeed making changes in my life, He has been laying the foundation and setting the stage for a new dawn. But I have been too afraid of the unknown that I kept clinging to the present – a present that is familiar, though agonizing and unpleasant. But at the retreat, there were also many grace filled moments – moments of consolation, peace and child-like fun. Yes, I felt those moments. Just as my desolation is real – there is also another reality. That Jesus was indeed present with me at the retreat, just waiting for me. Like a parent trying to get the attention of a cranky distracted child – Jesus has been there with me in some pretty spectacular moments.
So I liken my life now to new wine. ‘A new era is here! This is the season of new wine. You are about to encounter Me as you never have before.’ In the new wine season, the Spirit is wooing me ‘I am calling you to intimacy with Me. And in that place, I will be your greatest delight’. So just as new wine cannot be put into old wine skins, I can’t force what God is making of me, back into my old ways – comfortable as the thought maybe. The outcome will be a horrible mess.
So today, I bask and marvel at my ‘new wine’ status – new wine is from grapes that have been through a recent process of crushing. Yes, being crushed is painful. But the trials are soon giving way to joy! I just have to endure the process and trust in the Lord.
Prayer: Let us never lose sight of you. Let us be strong, knowing that whatever challenges, difficulties and loss we are feeling, that You Lord are near. That you are in the process of creating new wine in all of us.
Thanksgiving: Thank you Jesus, for the promise of a new dawn. Thank you for restoring us back to lives rich in harvest. Thank you for calling us into such an intimate relationship with you.

Windows has a tendency to cache negative DNS lookups so that even if you fix a DNS problem you still cannot look up a name. A negative DNS lookup occurs when trying to resolve the address for a name that has no corresponding DNS record. There is a registry entry that specifies cache times for DNS. One of them specifies how long to cache these negative entries. I would suggest setting it to zero so it will always try to query a DNS server even though the name did not exist before. Doing this might save you some confusion when troubleshooting DNS issues. Read about it here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/318803.
There is also a dnscmd Windows Support tool that is handy for updating DNS without having to run the GUI. You can read about it here http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServer/en/library/5c497b2e-3387-4ecf-adf5-562045620a961033.mspx.

A while back I sold my beloved Panasonic LX-5 premium compact camera to my friend Ben Witt. In my head, I had grand visions of upgrading my portable on bike camera system because I was finding some print limitations with some of the images I took with small sensor cameras. I know one could probably debate what I just wrote, but that was my thought process, right or wrong.
I considered a lot of cameras including several micro 4/3 cameras from both Panasonic and Olympus. I also considered the new Nikon V1 system. In the end, I decided to give the Sony NEX 5n a try because it was the least expensive option for the biggest sensor in a small package.
Before I get into to many details of this little Sony camera, I must get it out there that this camera does not give me the stereotypical romantic 35mm film shooting experience. There are no turning knobs for ISO, exposure comp, f-stop, etc. This is an electronic piece of equipment. I don’t feel as connected to the physical piece as I do more traditional looking and feeling cameras. It also has a quirky user interface and menu system. It has taken me quite a bit of time to learn. All that said, once I got it figured out and programmed the custom keys and menues to my liking, I have found I really like this little camera.
First and foremost, I ended up with this camera because it has the same 16MP APS-C sized sensor found in my Nikon D7000, my favorite camera of all time. It has amazing low light capability. The sensor is rather large compared to cameras of similar size and the camera produces very nice files. I also wanted something with interchangable lenses with at least one of those lenses small enough to fit in my mountain feedbag for easy access while riding my bike. Again, this the SONY NEX fit the bill with the 24mm f2.8 pancake.
I’ve now shot almost 3000 images with it and here are some thoughts. No charts. No graphs. Just thoughts and impressions. My kit includes.
I like this camera. Beyond meeting my criteria and the points called out above, I have found myself really enjoying shooting with this camera. In fact, I have found a few of the new features such as touch screen spot focus point and the flip up screen to be really, really nice for how I shoot. I know some folks are loving this camera for video but I have not shot a single video with it. Overall, I’d give this camera about an 7 out of 10.
Current lens offerings aren’t that great. In fact, all but the 55-210mm are pretty darn soft and they just don’t give me images that really pop without post processing. The 55-210 is actually quite big and negates the overall small size of the NEX. Note: I have not tried the new 30mm macro, the new 50 f1.8 or the new Zeiss 24mm f1.8.
Dust – The exposed sensor is really prone to picking up dust. There is no sensor vibration cleaning or anything like that. I now carry a rocket blower in my bag and blow out the sensor and the back of the lens everytime I switch lens. This is a real debbie downer and is almost enough for me to return or sell the system. I have a process now for changing lenses and I no longer have the issue, but it still annoys me.
I don’t like the sound of the shutter.
I don’t like the placement of the video record button but it’s there and I wish it could be turned off completely.
As you can see, the things I like and the things I don’t like are pretty darn even. But…For some reason I still find myself gravitating to this camera to shoot it. I have some really beautiful photos from Hawaii and I also took some really good images with it at the MN State CX. If I sit back and look at the initial reason I switched from the small sensor point and shoot, it does meet and exceed my needs. But…When I compare it to my Nikon D7000 I find it a bit lacking (for me).
Overall operational speed is acceptable but after playing with the new Olympus EP3 and the new Nikon V1 system, the focus speed seems slow and less accurate. Those cameras are simply show stoppers in terms of speed and focus accuracy.
One thing to note, while in Hawaii, I did have a problem with the camera freezing up and it required a full reset not once or twice, but 3 times. I have not duplicated this since returning. I can’t help but think it is related to humidity and/or wetness. Again, this is an electronic and not a mechanical marvel.
In the end, for me, the jury is still out. I’m going to give it a bit more time. I have a strange feeling about the camera in that I believe some of the features I like and the interaction of the camera point to the future of taking pictures.
All things said, what matters to me are the images and I have gotten some images I really love. Here are just a few of them.
Yes…The NEX is a strange, little, capable, small camera. It’s got a big heart, I mean sensor, and it takes some time to get used too. Once you do, it can produce really meaningful and impressive pictures. You just need to decide how much the visceral feel of a camera matters to you. For me, I am undecided. I like the pictures and I’m going to keep shooting until I decide.
Edit: I recieved some comments and emails about the camera already. One commenters said “It sounds very much like you WANT to like this camera, but….”. This is a very good comment and about 90% true. One other said that the pictures I posted could have been shot with something else. I agree, there are no visible differences for web sized images. I am testing printing and I can tell you that the files are nice and bigger than any of my other point and shoot image files. In the end, I am at a place where this camera is paid for, but I think if I could do it again, I may go a different route. What route? I’m not certain and I don’t have an answer for that.
Edit 12-19-2011: I purchased the Sony EVF for this camera and frankly, I am blown away. It simply changes the entire shooting process and interaction with this camera for me. Couple this with manual focus w/peaking and this camera takes on a completely new personality. Now….I’m ready to invest a bit more in this system. Next up is the Zeiss 24mm f1.8. I am also looking to give an adapter a try along with some of my old legacy Nikon or Pentax lenses.
I am also planning to buy this camera but i want to research first if its worth the money.. i am focusing on mirrorless camera because they’re smaller / thinner than dslr. but based on the pictures I’ve seen here and on the other blog sites / websites.. i have decided that i’ll be buying nex – 5n.^^ thanks for sharing your photos and your review about the product.
Thank you and good luck with your 5n. It’s a wonderfully capable small camera.

Importance Globalization processes ignite liberalization of capital flows in some countries. The pioneering countries basically determine the boundaries of capital flows and set up rules in this area. The Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development promulgated the Code of Liberalization of Capital Movements. In this respect, the Russian Federation made repetitive attempts to liberalize capital by setting up relevant laws.
Objectives The research analyzes global practices and contemporary trends in capital flow liberalization in the Russian Federation.
Methods The research scrutinizes various interpretations of the concept of liberalization of capital movement as used in the global practices, reports contemporary trends in the Russian Federation and compares the policy of liberalizing global experience.
Results The concept of liberalization of capital movement is construed differently abroad. However, it is possible to extract common stances out of international treaties. International clauses allow limiting capital movements in a number of cases. Currently, the Russian legislation and the relevant policy concord with global trends.
Conclusions and Relevance Even if the capital gets 100% liberalized, there are still some limitations possible. However, the Russian authorities try to avoid imposing those limitations, though the global practices and national legislation permit doing so.
Importance Nowadays, capital liberalization causes the problem of capital outflow to countries with better conditions for doing business. The ease of doing business depends, inter alia, on taxation conditions, for instance, for Doing Business rating purposes. Therefore, Russia for many years has taken measures to enhance the tax system competitiveness.
Objectives The paper aims to analyze international practice of tax system competitiveness and overview current trends in the Russian tax system competitiveness.
Methods I apply the general-logical method to analyze interpretations of the tax system competitiveness concept, present the best-known rankings and main trends in Russia, and perform a comparative analysis of the Russian tax system and that of countries with similar level of development (using the GDP per capita indicator).
Results The study reveals key factors of tax systems competitiveness. The comparison shows that by two main factor the Russian tax system is as good as that of countries with higher GDP per capita from the group of countries with similar level of development.
Conclusions and Relevance The key factors of competitiveness are total tax rate, number of payments and time for payment and preparation for payment of taxes. The Russian tax system is competitive among countries with similar development level by the above mentioned two indicators.
Importance Some countries has been integrated for the recent decade. They embark on this process to reduce their dependence inter alia on leading global currencies and expand the use of their national currencies in internal regional markets as part of trade agreements. This also happens during financial crises, since countries suffer from a lack of the U.S. dollars.
Objectives The research analyzes global practices of choosing the currency to conclude trade agreements, and overview contemporary trends in currency internationalization.
Methods The first part analyzes researches into a choice of currency for invoicing purposes in international trade. The second part describes principal trends in this areas, prospects of using some currencies in transactions.
Results I identified key factors for choosing the currency for trading, and impeding the use of national currency for international deals. The article reviews contemporary trends in this area.
Conclusions and Relevance The following factors help choose the currency for trade, i.e. interchangeability of goods, company and the transaction value, market power, State and its size, inertia, exchange rate volatility, liquidity. The factors below impede the use of national currencies for international deals, i.e. existing pegs or quasipegs of the currency rate, exchange rate restrictions at the national level, currency control. Those circumstances ensure the leading position of the U.S. dollar for international trade purposes.
Importance Currently, many EU countries are facing issues of fiscal sustainability as a result of ever increasing social spending. To tackle the issues, the EU devised a methodology for assessing the fiscal suitability indicators. The assessment methodology and indicators are common for each country of the European Union, thus significantly facilitating a comparative analysis of fiscal sustainability in various EU countries.
Objectives The objective of the research is to analyze the existing fiscal risks and methods for identifying the instability of the financial system in the EU.
Methods The research reviews experience the EU countries have in relation to fiscal risks. I also identify the main risks, which made the EU develop a set of sustainability indicators and their thresholds in order to forecast them.
Results Debt burden was found to be the most significant risk. It mainly refers to the national debt since fiscal sustainability is higher at the sub-national level. Population aging costs are another substantial risk. The EU uses a single system of indicators to determine fiscal sustainability. As part of the fiscal sustainability policy, the EU sets thresholds, which apply to each EU country.
Conclusions and Relevance The most significant fiscal risks mainly relate to debt burden at the national level and population aging costs. The methods for identifying risks of fiscal sustainability and thresholds are common for each country of the EU.
Importance Currently, many EU countries are facing an increase in social security expenditures. It entails an issue of tax collectability that has become really challenging. As a solution to this matter, some EU countries imposed restrictions on the use of cash. The article investigates a possibility of restricting cash payments as one of the solutions to issues of the shadow economy and collection of taxes.
Objectives The research evaluates the effect of non-cash payments on the shadow economy. The research also analyzes the regulatory framework for restricting the use of cash in making deals in the EU.
Methods I analyze experience of the EU countries in restricting cash payments. As part of the research, I examine legislative regulations governing cash restrictions.
Results I identify that there is an inverse relationship between an increase in non-cash payments and the extent of the shadow economy. In most European countries, non-cash payments grow since cash payments were legally limited. I find out that most European countries have similar approaches to regulating this matter. Activities, which the EU performs to reduce the shadow economy and improve tax collectability, may be carried out in other nations where the shadow economy is much bigger.
Conclusions and Relevance Relying upon the EU experience, I show that legislative restrictions of cash payments contribute to increasing economic transparency and tax revenues. Notwithstanding similar approaches, there are still differences in legal regulations of the EU countries (an amount of charge, controlling authorities, sanctions for violation of laws).
Modern international investment relations are difficult system of the economic and legal interactions directed on receiving profit. For increase of efficiency of the international investment projects and reduce their risks it is necessary the creation of the supranational investment institute.
In the process of the realization of system of power management provided by the international ISO 50001 standard, domestic enterprises face a number of difficulties. More it is caused by lack of a methodological support on system introduction. The author offers a technique of carrying out the power economic analysis of activity of the enterprise which can be used in the course of realization of system of power management at the industrial enterprises.
In the article an attempt at the forecast of the development of international investment relations is made, is based the creation of new supranational structure - the universal organization of investment collaboration. The authors come to the conclusion that the institutional regulation of international investment flows will increase the stability of world financial system as a whole.
Industrial development nowadays is placed special emphasis on both federally and regionally. Enhancing the competitiveness of Russian companies is only possible through the development of their innovative component. Innovative development of manufacturing nowadays is a competitive edge allowing to timely response to changes of the market situation. Innovation implies handsome investment. Therefore efficient use of sales proceeds forming net profit as it is gains in urgency. The amount of earnings, the structure of current assets and liabilities of the company determine its financial stability and predetermine its development opportunities, particularly innovative one.
Importance This article deals with the implications for regional budgets arising from the introduction of tax incentives in terms of damaging the regional budget and attracting investments in the region's economy.
Objectives The article aims to analyze the consequences of applying a benefit of tax loss carryforward for tax revenues of regional budgets.
Methods For the study, I used econometric methods and statistics data of 2016.
Results The article presents the results of analysis of fiscal costs for the regions due to tax loss carryforward and shows the calculation results of the impact of the benefit on investment and regional budgets for two scenarios of fiscal policy.
Conclusions The analysis of the two fiscal policy scenarios for regional budgets shows that introducing a restriction on the benefit in the first case would result in economy of the budget, and in the second case, it would result in the losses from the decrease of investment activity.

Teen star Bianca Umali looks sweet and innocent as she goes about her scenes in the GMA-7 hit primetime program Kambal, Karibal. She is Crisanta, a mild-mannered, kindhearted, and intelligent young lady. Her aura, however, suddenly shifts as she becomes irritable. Her eyes flare up, and a mere gaze throws off a wrathful mood. Her soft-spoken tone changes drastically into an angry one. In another moment, she takes on a third persona, as another soul joins in the characterization of her biggest breakout role to date.
Kambal, Karibal is a departure from the typical family drama on primetime television. Bianca’s Crisanta is the twin sister of Criselda, portrayed by Pauline. A rare sickness took away Criselda’s life but she continued to interact with Crisanta as a spirit. Things turned sour when the spirit of Criselda got jealous of the affection that Crisanta was receiving from their mother. Criselda was also envious of the attention that Crisanta was getting from Diego, whom Criselda also likes.
As she gets ready for more projects, Bianca discloses that she practices self-study especially now that she is busy with taping for Kambal, Karibal, fulfilling various showbiz commitments, and taking part in the live Sunday PinaSaya variety show. “Of course, I study more. Lahat naman talaga matututunan through study. I attend workshops but right now, I’m more on self-study. I read a lot of books on acting and I watch a lot of movies,” says the rising star who is in awe of Academy Award-winner Jennifer Lawrence.

It is said in Srimad Bhagwatam (10.32.22) that the Lord is perpetually indebted to his devotees on account of their selfless service rendered by them to him. Even if he tries to repay them back, it would not be possible for him in the lifetime of one Brahma (some 311 trillion years).
This feeling of eternal gratitude marks one of the loving relationships between the Lord and his dear devotee. And when we talk of great devotees like Gopis of Vraja, Lord Shiva, Prahlad Maharaj, Bali Maharaj etc, the name of Sri Hanuman always comes to mind.
Therefore, Hanuman Jayanti is the pious day on which Sri Hanuman descended on earth in order to serve the purpose of his eternal master, Lord Ram. And he, being an unalloyed devotee of Sri Ram is revered by all Ram bhaktas.
As per Uttara Kanda of Valmiki Ramayana, the appearance of Sri Hanuman dates back to the beginning of Treta Yuga of the sixth Manvantara of Vaivasvata Manu i.e. around 2.59 million years before.
There has been no specific recording of his birth date and it is a subject of discussion. As per the standard authorities and popularly followed traditions, people accept Chaitra Purnima to be his birth date. He appeared on Tuesday during the dawn hours.

What a difference a few days can make in the life cycle of a fire. In this particular case, the Thomas Fire that is ongoing in the Ventura County around (and surrounding) in Southern California. The following images were taken by the Terra and Aqua satellites on Dec. 16, 17, and 19, 2017, and during those times fire conditions improved visibly. A difference in winds, in humidity, in the ability of firefighters to control the fire's perimeter, and in the amount of fuel left for the fire to consume can bring a raging fire to heel. This does not mean the fire cannot gain strength again if conditions worsen, but it is heartening to realize that weather conditions can allow firefighters to get a better handle on events as they have in the last few days.
This the the Thomas Fire on December 16, 2017 as seen by the Terra satellite. There were multiple areas of "hot spots" where the satellite indicates the fire is and where telltale smoke also pinpoints fire spots. These areas are numerous and the clouds of smoke coming off the flames are all consuming.
By December 17, 2017, conditions had obviously changed for the better and the fires were able to be somewhat contained. This image taken by the Aqua satellite on December 17, 2017, shows a much more subdued Thomas Fire. There are still hot spots visible but the number has vastly improved.
By December 19, 2017, hot spots are not showing up via satellite instruments. This does not mean the fire is completely out, but large hot spots are no longer detected by satellites. So, too, the copious smoke that was spewing from the fires is no longer in evidence. This Aqua image shows a much calmer landscape due to improving weather conditions at the time.
er Inciweb today, the Thomas fire is 60 percent contained at present. At 272,000 acres, the Thomas Fire is now the second largest fire in the recorded history of the state of California. Unfortunately, weather conditions that allowed the fire to be contained to the 60 percent mark are destined to change as weather conditions deteriorate this afternoon. Inciweb reports that a forecasted strong north wind event will bring wind conditions similar to those experienced when the fire made its push into Montecito. With the introduction of these winds, critically dry fuels will be highly receptive to fire spread. During Santa Ana wind events three things happen: the weather warms, winds pick up, and humidity drops precipitously. All of these events promote fire growth. The Thomas Fire has experienced winds exceeding 70 miles per hour, temperatures in the mid 80's and humidity below 10 percent.

text: Frequency of tuberculosis and malaria is progressively increasing worldwide. New emerging strain of bacterium and resistance to currently available drugs make this field more conscientious and alarming. In this connection a series of substituted quinolinyl chalcones and substituted quinolinyl pyrimidines were synthesised and evaluated for their in vitro antitubercular activity against Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37RV and antimalarial activity against NF-54 strain of Plasmodium falciparum. A comparison of structure-activity relationship reveals that different physicochemical and structural requirements exist for these two activities. Out of synthesized compounds, compound No. 18, 19 have shown antitubercular activity of MIC 3.12 µg/ml and were non toxic against VERO, MBMDM cell lines and compounds 49, 50, 51 have shown antimalarial activity of MIC 1.0 µg/ml.

I think Israeli citizens may be learning lessons from Olmert. I haven't been to Israel, nor do I have a pulse of the street there, but I can sense this latest response to Hamas terrorism has to do with Israelis expecting and wanting their government to act; they're fed up and tired of Hamas time and again violating agreements and endangering their lives. They want action.
That's why I think Netanyahu has a good chance to be Israel's next leader. He seems to me the the guy who Hamas and terrorist should fear the most, and Israel can count on to act in Israel's defense. And he is the Israeli leader most likely to act against Iran. The world will thank whoever does that.

The lower service areas are screened by this change in levels. The 3,000m2 office component rises to three storeys. As the manufacturing space is situated under the same triple barrel vaulted roof, the volume in which the production space sits can be clearly envisaged.
The factory itself is relatively square: 96.4m wide x 104m long. Material enters near the front of the factory's side elevations, to enter the production lines, which are laid out perpendicular to the office zone. At the rear of the factory are the specialist testing cells from where the generators leave the building after the testing process.

Trump’s stringent immigration policy running afoul of America’s long-standing tradition of embracing immigrants is widely known across the globe. Anti-immigration policies as the centerpiece of Trump’s agenda through which U.S. major issues could allegedly be resolved have stoked concerns among foreign nationals. In such an unwelcoming climate, individuals with outstanding academic and professional profile as well as investors (qualifying for the EB-1, EB-2 NIW and EB-5 categories) may view U.S. permanent residency unachievable or unrealistic. However, the reality proves otherwise.
Donald Trump has repeatedly favored the immigration of meritorious, highly-skilled, and well-educated individuals who are best-positioned to thrive in the United States as well further enhance the U.S. economy. Addressing a press conference on January 04, 2019, Trump reiterated the significance of implementing a merit-based immigration system. Under this approach, individuals would be admitted to the U.S. based on their ability to make positive contribution to the U.S., Trump maintained.
The high rate of approved employment-based immigration petitions also reflects the U.S. tendency towards a merit-based immigration system. The acquisition of permanent residency in the United States through the employment-based category has not witnessed a decrease since Trump took office in 2017 and the opposite remains true. As for the EB-5 immigrant investor program, 11,321 out of 12,165 received petitions were approved in 2018 while this figure stood at 7,632 in 2016 (out of 14,447 received petitions). The approval rate for other employment-based petitions (other than the EB-5 program including EB-1 and EB-2 NIW) was reported 90% in 2017 as compared to 88% in 2016.
While the current immigration system is favorable for those taking advantage of employment-based visa categories, it can act to the detriment of individuals seeking to facilitate the immigration of their family members (adult children, siblings and parents)into the United States in the future. That being so, individuals are invited to file their application with USCIS at their earliest convenience before any major changes are made.

A fibre action plan announced today will help generate more value from the province’s forest resources.
The plan contains actions that will support forestry-related jobs in British Columbia and increase the efficiency of fibre utilization in the short-term while durable longer-term solutions are developed. The actions are designed to increase efficiency of utilization of lower-quality wood and wood residue for secondary users, including the wood bioenergy sector and other non-lumber manufacturers, such as pulp and paper and oriented strandboard.
The fibre action plan provides support and encouragement for business-to-business relationships between primary harvesters and secondary users; support for removing residuals from the forest where business-to-business relationships do not exist; and tenure opportunities for secondary users where there are no primary harvesters.
Since 2014, the Forestry and Fibre Working Group, made up of representatives from the lumber, pellet, non-lumber, pulp and paper sectors and ministry staff have been working together to provide the Minister of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations with recommendations to streamline and increase the efficiency and recovery of low-quality fibre from B.C.’s forests.
The mountain pine beetle infestation has caused an increase in the amount of low-quality wood that is not suitable for lumber production. However, this wood, and wood residue and debris, is suitable for use by pulp and paper mills that use chips for pulp production, oriented strandboard mills, pellet plants and others. Wood pellet production capacity has doubled over the last few years and there are now 12 pellet plants operating in B.C. Pulp and paper producers also put significant capital investments into their plants to derive energy from wood residue.
In his 2014 and 2015 mandate letters, Thomson was tasked to “examine ways to enhance the security of fibre supply for secondary and non-lumber users of lower quality and residual fibre.” The forestry fibre action plan is also a component of the Forest Sector Competitiveness Strategy currently being developed.

Out of all the reasons people use to not exercise, ‘no time’ has to be the most popular. Whether you are in the corporate world, doing shift work or are a full time parent, there’s no doubt you are busy. But if you ask around, I’m sure most people will give you the same response.
So what does that tell you? Everyone is busy!! Despite this fact, some people still manage to exercise whilst others do not. If you need to ‘find time’ to exercise, you won’t do it…you need to make time. Here are a few ways to make exercise (and your health) a priority.
Get up earlier! Set your alarm to go off just 10mins earlier each day for a week, then by the end of the week you’ll have an extra hour. If you exercise in the morning, you don’t have to worry about making time later on when you are late or tired etc.
Put your workout in your diary. Schedule your exercise like any other important appointment that is in your calendar, with an alarm to remind you. There are even lots of Apps available that help you track your workouts, so these may be a good idea for you.
Remember: If you do what you’ve always done – you’ll get what you’ve always gotten! So do something different – if you really want to change, you will make the changes you need. It’s all in your hands.

This is one of those blogs that you don't really like to read and it's definitely not one of those blogs I'm excited to write because I find my heart saddened and broken, but it's an important blog. Important, can't and shouldn't be overlooked when it comes to our health and the health of our loved ones.
Today I write for two reasons. One, to honor the memory of my beautiful friend Tera Honderich who passed away last Thursday and two, to raise awareness to the horrible disease that took her life; Ovarian Cancer.
There are not enough words to describe the beauty, the strength, and the greatness of my dear friend. She fought a long battle with Ovarian Cancer as she was diagnosed with it at the age of 16.
Tera and I met when we worked at a local bank together. We grew this immediate bond and this once in the lifetime friendship that I will forever hold dear to my heart. She was such an encouragement to me. To see all she struggled with and to see the smile on her face all the time, made me realize that the things I go through on a day to day basis is nothing compared to her fight with Ovarian Cancer.
I had the honor to sing at Tera’s wedding 8 years ago. It was a day I’ll never forget. She was such a beautiful bride. I remember how much she worried about leaving Josh at some point and how afraid she was of hurting him. I’ll never forget the talk we had before she got married. It was a moment in our friendship that I’ll never forget. I reminded her that love sees no restrictions and that the love she and Josh had would be precious, perfect, and all she’d ever need. No matter how long or short her time here with him would be.
Yesterday I had the honor of singing at the service where we celebrated Tera’s beautiful life. It wasn't as easy as it was singing at her wedding, but it was just as much of an honor.
I’ll miss her more than words can say and my heart aches for her husband Josh, and her entire family. However, I’m so glad she’s free from all pain and suffering.
I love you my beautiful friend and I will miss you every day that you’re not here. However, I know that I will get to see you again someday. This is not where it ends and just like I sang this morning; I will carry you with me. You hold a special place in my heart and there you will remain.
Only 20 percent of cases are caught before the cancer has spread beyond the ovary to the pelvic region. When ovarian cancer is detected and treated early on, the five-year survival rate is greater than 92 percent. Sadly, though, most patients are diagnosed at advanced stages, and less than 50 percent of women survive longer than five years after diagnosis. The good news is that today 50 percent of women are surviving longer than five years after diagnosis--a marked improvement in the survival rate from 30 or more years ago when it was 10 percent to 20 percent.
Raising as much awareness and promoting as much education of ovarian cancer as possible is crucial in helping women to earlier diagnoses and to supporting our survivors. And making a difference starts with action. I encourage you to become an advocate, a sponsor, a volunteer, or a donor; of all of them.
To get involved please visit the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition.
Memorial contributions for Tera may be made to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund.
What a beautiful tribute to your friend. Thank you for sharing.
Tera's mom worked with my my mom at Dwyer Instruments. I remember my mom sharing with me about Tera's cancer and what a strong young lady she was and her positive attitude throughout it all. In July of 2009, my mom was diagnosed with Stage 3 Ovarian Cancer. She had her surgery on July 21 and passed away exactly 15 months later on October 21, 2010. This disease is relentless and unforgiving.

This position has many interesting and different tasks together but is also very challenging as I have to deal directly with the victims. I help them, support them in finding good opportunities and reinforcing their capacity to take care of themselves. Human trafficking is one of the main issues in Lao PDR, it needs to be fought. I directly help these people, deeply understand their problems and what they have encountered. I am proud of being part of SENGSAVANG’s work to reduce this problem.
What is most useful for the victims in all that you do?
What I have done here is useful and important for the victims, but the most useful I think is the coaching. I help them to build a better future by talking, sitting with them and sharing their problems and finding solutions with them. It seems that I am a relative, part of their family.
How is working for SENGSAVANG different from your past jobs ?
I did not have many experiences in the past. I used to work with private companies and in comparison with SENGSAVANG they have very different goals and vision. Their outcome is profit whereas SENGSAVANG’s outcome is to give a better future to actual victims and to reduce the number of victims in the future.

Maier Treen & Lawn provides Rochester, MN Lawn Care, Tree Care, and More!
A walk through my neighborhood reveals different levels of lawn love. From the meticulously manicured emerald yard to the plot of tormented turf in need of a little TLC, lawns show and tell. Sometimes the story they tell is about difficult soil. Sometimes they show off the homeowner’s talent for lawn care and landscaping. If you prefer your lawn tell the latter story, but lack the time or knowledge required to make it happen, turn to Maier Tree and Lawn Service to attain the care your lawn deserves in Rochester and Winona, Minnesota.
Having a soil test done. A soil test will determine if there are some adjustments that need to be made to the soil to help the grass grow right.
Mow the lawn regularly, without overcutting. Make sure the blade of your lawn mower is set to only cut 1/3 of the length of the grass. Cutting the grass too short can lead to a stressed-out lawn.
Let the clippings stay. As long as you mow properly, there is no need to rake up the grass clippings or to have them go into a bag. The lawn will use the nutrients from the clippings to become healthier.
Attractive lawns are more than enjoyable to look at and walk barefoot in. Lawns that show off the level of exceptional lawn care they have received tend to be well fertilized, and well fertilized lawns benefit the environment. When a lawn is fertilized properly, research has shown that it reduces the runoff of water and nutrients, according to the article, “Lawn Maintenance” by John Stier, Assistant Professor of Horticulture, College of Agricultural and Life Sciences at the University of Wisconsin – Madison.
If you have questions about maintaining your lawn or if you lack the time needed to maintain yours, contact Maier Tree and Lawn Service. For Rochester, Minnesota area residents, call (507) 216-5779. For Winona, Minnesota area residents call (507)454-7000.
