text: Ashleigh Russell takes a sharp and uncompromising look at issues of mental illness and how one lives with it for decades. Her poetry is often dark, certainly insightful, and may trigger discomfort in some listeners. There are, however, significant moments of positivity, joy and relief, which are beautifully articulated by Ashleigh, not only in her actual poetry but also in her chat with Ela.

during World War II, are called into duty under the guidance of Col. A.J. Bullard.
Guan yun chang
In the final years of the Han, the court was under the sway of Prime Minister Cao Cao. When his troops defeated those of rival
king Liu Bei, they took Liu Bei's two wives, future concubine and other members of his family hostage, as well as Liu Bei's
sworn brother, Guan Yunchang. Cao Cao greatly admires Guan and wishes to retain him, but Guan's loyalty is with Liu Bei.
When Cao Cao finds out Guan was once in love with Liu Bei's future concubine, Qilan, he sets a trap to lead Guan to
temptation and betrayal. Guan escapes with Qilan. But to get to Liu Bei, they must cross five passes. Guan, who is tired of
killing, is forced to fight his way through, leaving a trail of corpses. At the final crossing, they fall into a deadly ambush. Yet Cao
Cao treats Guan with respect; Guan is torn between emotional debt and righteousness.
Urumi is set in the backdrop of the fierce warrior clans of Northern Kerala in the sixteenth century and focuses on the cult of
Chirakkal Kelu Nayanar (Prithviraj), a man with an epic mission. His target and mission is Dom Vasco da Gama, the Viceroy
of Portuguese Empire in India. The film is spread between the second and third visit of Gama to India and chronicles a varied
version of how Gama could have met a bloody death in AD 1524. In the journey of Kelu, he has to encounter the seamless
conflicts within the kinsmen and also kings, ministers, peasants and a warring Muslim warrior princess Ayesha (Genelia) of
the famed Arackal Sultanat. Kelu has a forte, a legendary golden Urumi, specially made from the left over ornaments of the
dead women and children who were burnt alive in the massacre of a Mecca Ship, Miri, commanded to be set on fire and
drowned by Vasco da Gama during his second visit to Kerala in AD 1502. Kelu is supported by Vavvali (Prabhudeva), his
childhood friend and in a way his elder brother, though he comes from the Muslim neighborhood. The film also has mystical
characters like Vidya Balan, who plays Makkom, a displaced Devi Deity in the Oracle form.
Pathfinders: In the Company of Strangers
Untold and lost history. A true story of the American Pathfinders, the volunteer paratroopers whose deadly mission was to
land 30 minutes before the Normandy invasion, locate and mark strategic "drop zones" and set up the top-secret navigation
equipment needed to guide the main airborne assault on D-Day.
Arthouse favorite Olivier Assayas followed up his critical darling L'Heure d'Été (2008) with this wildly different chronicle - a
biopic of the ultra-left-wing Venezuelan terrorist-cum-mercenary Ilich Ramírez Sánchez, popularly known as "Carlos the
Jackal." As co-written by Assayas and scenarist Dan Franck, the account spans the years 1973-1994 - or the period that
witnessed Sanchez at his most violent and relentless. Narrative touchstones include the 1974 bomb attack at the Publicis
Drugstore on Paris' Left Bank and the 1975 abduction of 11 OPEC officials from Vienna, as well as a torrent of
assassinations that Carlos and his cronies planned but didn't carry out. As produced by Daniel Leconte, this telling of
Sanchez's life stars Edgar Ramirez as the terrorist, as well as Alexander Scheer, Aljoscha Stadelmann, and Julia Hummer; it
was predominantly shot in Germany, France, and Lebanon.
La princesse de Montpensier
Bertrand Tavernier is in top form with this gripping, superbly mounted drama set against the savage Catholic/Protestant
wars that ripped France apart in the 16th century. Based on a novella by the celebrated Madame de Lafayette, the action
centers on the love of Marie de Mezières for her dashing cousin Henri de Guise, thwarted when her father's political
ambitions force her into marriage with the well-connected Philippe de Montpensier, who she has never met. When Philippe
is called away to fight, she is left in the care of Count Chabannes, an aging nobleman with a disdain for warfare, and soon
becomes exposed to the sexual and political intrigues of court.
Ao, le dernier Néandertal
When his clan, including his wife and baby girl Néa, are massacred, Ao, a desperate Neandertal man, decides to leave the
North country where he has been living for the South where he was born. His aim is to join his twin brother, from whom he
was separated when he was nine. On his long and adventurous way home, he meets Aki, a Homo Sapiens woman ...
Secret Origin: The Story of DC Comics
A look at the history of the comic book publication that launched such legendary characters as Superman, Batman and
Wonder Woman.
Made in Dagenham
In 1968, the Ford auto factory in Dagenham was one of the largest single private employers in the United Kingdom. In
addition to the thousands of male employees, there are also 187 underpaid women machinists who primarily assemble the
car seat upholstery in poor working conditions. Dissatisfied, the women, represented by the shop steward and Rita O'Grady,
work with union rep Albert Passingham for a better deal. However, Rita learns that there is a larger issue in this dispute
considering that women are paid an appalling fraction of the men's wages for the same work across the board on the sole
basis of their sex. Refusing to tolerate this inequality any longer, O'Grady leads a strike by her fellow machinists for equal pay
for equal work. What follows would test the patience of all involved in a grinding labour and political struggle that ultimately
would advance the cause of women's rights around the world.
Sacrifice (Orphan of Zhao Family): To save the only child of the Zhao Family, whose whole clan is massacred at the hands of
a nefarious minister, a doctor sacrifices his own son, and later becomes intent on seeking vengeance against the minister
after the child grows up. For generations, the Zhao family has wielded power, even extending over the king. In a well-planned
coup, their mortal enemy TU'AN GU (Wang Xue Qi) slaughters the entire clan, determined to wipe out their influence forever.
However, a solitary Zhao baby survives the massacre, and is hidden and taken home by CHENG YING (Ge You), the doctor
who delivered him, to live with his WIFE (Hai Qing) and their own newborn baby. Set on revenge, and raising the Zhao child
as his own, Cheng Ying bides his time, enrolling himself and the Zhao orphan (whom he calls Cheng Bo) into the service of
the Tu'an Gu household. Tu' an Gu grows very fond of Cheng Bo and makes Cheng Bo his godson, unaware that Cheng
Ying has been plotting to use the boy as an instrument of vengeance when he comes of age. But as the day draws closer,
the boy's true identity is discovered...
Yip Man 2
Continuing from where the first film ended, Wing Chun master Ip Man and his family move to Hong Kong in the early 1950s
after their escape from Foshan. There, Ip desires to open a school to propagate his art, as well as to make his living, but he
has difficulty attracting students due to his lack of reputation in the city. One day, a young man named Wong Leung appears
and promptly challenges Ip to a fight, but is easily defeated. Wong leaves humiliated, only to return with some friends to gang
up on him. Ip beats them as well. Stunned and impressed by his skills, Wong and his friends become Ip's first students,
bringing more disciples to help the school thrive ...
Hors-la-loi (Outside the Law)

French army fighting in Indochina; Abdelkader becomes a leader of the Algerian independence movement in France and Saïd

The King's Speech
Tells the story of the man who became King George VI, the father of Queen Elizabeth II. After his brother abdicates, George
('Bertie') reluctantly assumes the throne. Plagued by a dreaded stammer and considered unfit to be king, Bertie engages the
help of an unorthodox speech therapist named Lionel Logue. Through a set of unexpected techniques, and as a result of an
unlikely friendship, Bertie is able to find his voice and boldly lead the country through war.
Des hommes et des dieux
Men of faith find their pacifist beliefs put to the test in this drama from filmmaker Xavier Beauvois, inspired by a true story.
Christian (Lambert Wilson) is the leader of an order of Trappist monks living in the hills outside Algiers. The community
outside the monastery is almost exclusively Muslim, and the monks have worked to foster understanding between
themselves and their neighbors; they observe Muslim traditions, are well versed in the Koran, and provide medical and
charitable assistance to the townspeople. The monastery is an oasis of calm and peace as Algeria is caught up in a civil war,
with forces led by Muslim extremists leading a bloody campaign against the nation's rulers. Christian and his monks do not
wish to take sides in a conflict they believe is immoral; they refuse the protection of the military while also denying aid and
comfort to the insurgents. The monks' efforts to remain outside the war, however, have ugly consequences when they're taken
hostage by a band of Islamic revolutionaries.
Housewife and mother Penny Chenery agrees to take over her ailing father's Virginia-based Meadow Stables, despite her
lack of horse-racing knowledge. Against all odds, Chenery -- with the help of veteran trainer Lucien Laurin - manages to
navigate the male-dominated business, ultimately fostering the first Triple Crown winner in twenty-five years.
The Special Relationship
In 1992 Labour leader Tony Blair goes to America and is impressed by the policies of President Clinton, which he uses to
reshape his party. Two years later he is invited back for an audience with Clinton, who,rightly, predicts that he will be Britain's
next Prime Minister. Thus begins the 'special relationship' between the two, though Clinton is clearly the senior partner with
Blair seeking his advice on Northern Ireland. The situation in Kosovo however reverses the roles as Blair forces American
intervention by a reluctant president and is seen in the American media as the hero of the hour. As Clinton accuses his ally
of stabbing him in the back the special relationship starts to sour and, with Clinton ultimately out of the White House, Blair
takes his first photo call with the next incumbent, Bush.
The Social Network

becomes a global social network and a revolution in communication. A mere six years and 500 million friends later, Mark
Zuckerberg is the youngest billionaire in history ... But for this entrepreneur, success leads to both personal and legal
Tangshan dadizhen
Tangshan Earthquake, 28 July 1976. When a mother is informed by the rescue team that, as her 7-year old twins are buried
under the debris close to each other, digging one out would result in further collapse of the wreckage on the other, she is
forced to make the most difficult decision of her life. As the clock ticked away, she finally ended her struggle and chose to
save the boy, and though heartbroken, she had no idea her decision was overheard by the daughter. Deemed as a dead
person, the little girl miraculously survived and was rescued after being buried for days. Suffering from the emotional shock
of the disaster and the painful memory of her mother's choice, she refused to reveal who she was. She was adopted by a
young couple and later moved to the US, but shadowed by the traumatic experience from her childhood; she forever
remained emotionally closed up. When the Sichuan earthquake takes over 80,000 lives in 2008, she volunteers to join the
rescue team and returns to her homeland, China. As she witnesses the tribulations people go through when a natural
disaster takes place, she finally unlocks the pain she had felt all these years and finds forgiveness.
Su Qi-Er
Su Qi-Er retired from his life as a renowned Qing dynasty general in order to pursue his dream of a family and his own martial
arts school. However, Su's peaceful life is shattered when his vengeful adopted brother, Yuan Lie, kidnaps his son and
leaves Su for dead. Saved from his demise by his wife Ying and the reclusive doctor Yu, Su resolves to perfect his technique
so that he may defeat Yuan Lie and reunite his family. Aided by the mystical "God of Wushu" and the eccentric "Old Sage," Su
masters the art of Drunken Boxing, and embarks on the path that would eventually give rise to the legend of the "King of
Shtikat Haarchion (A Film Unfinished)
Yael Hersonski's powerful documentary achieves a remarkable feat through its penetrating look at another film-the
now-infamous Nazi-produced film about the Warsaw Ghetto. Discovered after the war, the unfinished work, with no
soundtrack, quickly became a resource for historians seeking an authentic record, despite its elaborate propagandistic
construction. The later discovery of a long-missing reel complicated earlier readings, showing the manipulations of camera
crews in these "everyday" scenes. Well-heeled Jews attending elegant dinners and theatricals (while callously stepping
over the dead bodies of compatriots) now appeared as unwilling, but complicit, actors, alternately fearful and in denial of
their looming fate.

Posts Tagged Gewürztraminer
Wine Every Mountain
Gewürztraminer can be a pungent, viscous and overbearing beast. At the hands of Cantina Tramin's winemaker and technical director Willi Stürz though, it is a different animal altogether. Aromatic, yes. But with a purity and comparative lightness that belies its high alcohol level. The 2010 Nussbaumer – its flagship Gewürztraminer line – has an intense aroma of rambutan, the less floral relative of the lychee, with clean blossom and tropical fruit flavours. It is utterly delicious. (more…)
A Berry Big(ham's) Night Out
I wasn't perhaps the ideal candidate to be invited to a bloggers' supper to try out some new ready meal recipes. You see, I hate ready meals. To me they are the Devil's spawn, the sign that our lazy, obese Western civilization is going to hell in a shopping basket. (more…)
Natural Born Thrillers
For most people, Christmas Day is all about the food. For me (surprise!) it's all about the wine. This year, the star of the show will be a 2001 Herzog 'Spirit of Marlborough', a smooth mocha, cassis, liquorice and Agen prune-tasting Merlot Cabernet blend. It shouldn't overpower a gamey, slow-reared Turkey with a punchy stuffing. But if it does, do I really care? (more…)

The 2012 NRA meetings were in St Louis this year and I attended on Friday and Saturday. There were some neat toys, but one thing that really struck me.
The crowd was very skewed to people who are older, male and white. This wouldn't surprise some people since popular media reports constantly call out how old, monochrome and penis-equipped NRA members are. But in my experience at local ranges, gun shops and shooting events that doesn't represent the shooting public.
There's not a time I go to the range when 25% or more of the people there aren't women. At the range I go to the most it's common to stand in line next to a black woman, or a Hispanic dude, or an Indian couple. It's odd to be there and only see white people even though the range is in a predominately white neighborhood. I can't think of a time when I've been there and didn't see women.
The NRA show reminded me of the shooting range 20 years ago- a buncha old white dudes. Hopefully the people who attend NRA events change like I've seen in the general shooting public. The shooting community is better when everyone participates.
Also, the attendees of the show were in general less attractive on average than the general public. Or maybe I just hang out with attractive people or don't go to Wal-mart enough. But it was noticeable enough that my wife pointed it out as well. I found that interesting too.

The Mummy Returns, the movie, met with a reasonable amount of harsh criticism from reviewers nationwide. Even though the movie grossed well above the filmmakers expectations, The Mummy Returns was still acknowledged as more of a letdown than it was a moneymaking hit. Of course, the same goes for Universal's video game counterparts. The original Mummy game for the Game Boy Color was an old school platform/puzzle title which was, for the most part, one of the more entertaining games that I've seen. Universal had hired Konami to develop the game and boy did it sparkle with quality. For the sequel, however, Konami was sent packing by Universal for reasons unknown and Game Brains has been brought aboard to develop The Mummy Returns. Bad call Universal.
- Three playable characters
- Unique play environments
- Password save
- Only for Game Boy Color
The Mummy Returns can best be described as a platform game that suffers from delusions of grandeur and yet never comes close to the mark. Rather than being a run, jump, attack sort of game, The Mummy Returns is an amalgamation of genres which include platform levels, shooting galleries, Prince of Persia sword fighting scenes and driving simulators. Oddly enough, none of these adventures in diversity ever comes across as well thought out or fun. Let's look at one particular level, the first one.
For those of you familiar with the movie, the first level of the game parallels the first scene of the movie, in which Rick O'Connell has to escape from a torrential flood within the tomb he is exploring. However, this is where the similarity ends. You see, in the film, Rick jumps around with finesse, running from certain death as if his life depended on it. In the game, Rick jumps like a one legged drunk who doesn't really seem to understand that his life is about to end. The control is so poor, so stiff, that it is almost impossible to resist the urge to bandage the game and bury it in the ground for 2000 years.
All other represented genres are just as poorly designed. The "Prince of Persia" style sword fighting scenes, while a cool idea, are almost a mockery of the genre. All you need to do is hit buttons repeatedly and you'll easily exterminate your foe of choice. No skill, just button mashing. Vehicle sequences are bland, uneventful and dull consisting mainly of dodging supernatural bullets and moving up and down. The first flying level has you flying a dirigible and dodging water that's being spewed forth by the mouth of Imhotep while at the same time trying to successfully navigate a dark tunnel with rocks falling on you. That's about it. No shooting back, just fly up and down, up and down, over and over, up and down. The shooting gallery sections, again a seemingly neat idea, completely fall apart due to poor accuracy and hit detection. The first shooting gallery takes place on a bus, with Mummy's popping up over the seats chucking stuff at you. However, by the time you've moved the extremely slow crosshairs in place, you've already been injured and the Mummy is now hiding behind the seat, giggling. Hitting the B button does let you duck to reload, but it's still a pain the butt to even attempt these levels. Every shooting level is like this. You'll get hit and killed by the time you've moved the crosshairs to their destination. It's nice to see that a game can have so much variety in it, but it's really a shame to see it as a mere showcase to display just how poorly designed a game can be. Remember the scene in the movie in which Imhotep sucks the life out of those archeologists? Perhaps that's what happened to the fun in this game. Sucked the fun right out. Buh bye.
Graphics, ah graphics. Sure it's nice to see big sprites, but not when they're stiffer than the mummies that you're supposed to be fighting. Characters lack in frame rate and in fluidity, giving them the appearance of being either sauced to the gills or just plain crippled. Backgrounds aren't bad, but once you throw in the inebriated Rick O'Connell, well, I'm sure you see what I'm saying. Cut scenes are also laughable at best, looking like something a 10th grade art student did while blindfolded. It's almost insulting to see exactly how poorly treated a game can be, especially when weighed against the success of the first title.
Sound effects and music, well, if you thought the graphics were lacking, I'm sure it won't come as much of a shock if I only say this about the sound: Ack. It's as if the music was simply neglected and thrown in at the last minute. Sound effects do manage to create a sense of ambience, but always come across as tinny and featureless.
While I considered the game to be very innovative in the fact that there are a myriad of game styles to play with, it still manages to be one of the worst titles that I've played in a long time. With lackluster "action" and "puzzles", poor, nay, crappy control, and atrocious graphics and sound, The Mummy Returns and Imhotep's life draining force both share something in common: they suck.

Identifying Information:
Antique Motor Vehicles
Tax Type:
Brief Description:
Antique Motor Vehicles
Effective Date:
Department of Revenue
Division of Property Valuation
March 3, 1995
TO: County Appraisers
FROM: Laura E. Johnson, Personal Property Supervisor
RE: Antique Motor Vehicles
It has come to our attention that there may be some confusion as to how antique motor vehicles are taxed. It appears that our division has not issued any guidance regarding this matter since the 1980's. To remedy this lack of guidance, I am issuing this memorandum.
Antique motor vehicles are defined by K.S.A. 8-166 as "(a)ny vehicle more than thirty-five (35) years old, propelled by a motor using petroleum fuel, steam or electricity or any combination thereof."
Antique Vehicles - Registration for Two Purposes
Antique motor vehicles are registered for two separate purposes. They are registered for operation on the highways (K.S.A. 8-167(a)) and they are registered for purposes of property taxation (K.S.A. 8-167(b)). A motor vehicle that is registered as an antique motor vehicle for operation on the highways may or may not be registered for purposes of property taxation pursuant to K.S.A. 8-167(b). An antique vehicle is registered for property taxation purposes pursuant to K.S.A. 8-167(b) only if the motor vehicle is the type that is taxed when tagged. A motor vehicle is generally taxed when tagged pursuant to K.S.A. 79-5101 et seq. when it has a gross vehicle weight of 12,000 pounds or less. A motor vehicle may also be taxed when tagged if it is a "recreational vehicle" for purposes of the tax imposed by K.S.A. 79-5118 et seq.

Join our Facebook Community!
In a world increasingly isolated and separate, community is still readily available—we just have to look around. In Creating Community Wherever You Are, Deanna Nakosteen opens our eyes to what's possible. When we create community, we create relationships and meaningful connections. When we live our lives with connection and meaning, we broaden our capacity for love.Humankind has lived a tribal lifestyle for millions of years.
We went from living in tribes, which gave us support, love, family, food, and safety, to becoming increasingly separated. By creating community we feel belonging, togetherness, cooperation. A community has shared values, and close relationships. We all crave connection and meaning in our lives. Living in community is one way of tapping into both of these.
Having spent 30+ years in an intentional community, Deanna shares her experience of this unique way of living. Intentional communities come in a wide array of forms, coming together around a common vision or shared values. Deanna's community consists of 25 adults and children on a 5 acre piece of land sharing a large kitchen, garden, and orchards.
About The Book
The first two chapters are filled with the story of how Deanna experienced community during her early years and her journey that led to discovering an intentional community. Living in an intentional community has taught her how to live a more deeply and enriching life.
In chapter 3 on how to use this book it is suggested that the readers go to the chapter topic that resonates with them. Part 1: The Foundation includes chapters on food, health, and permaculture. The chapters in, Part 2: The People, are communication, relationships, and children. And chapters on living in abundance, systems and groups, and members are in the final section, Part 3: Bringing it All Together.
With each topic chapter Deanna shares her story, then a discussion of the topic, and at the end of the chapter she offers reflective questions and action steps to spur on the reader to create community wherever they are. To become further involved there is a site on the internet where readers can connect, assist others, and share their experiences and ideas on creating community.
Written with warmth, Deanna's bright spirit and wisdom fills each page in this book full of practical tips and inspiring information Creating Community Wherever You Are issues an invitation to all of us, no matter where we live, to deepen our connections to one another, the world and ourselves.

Koftas and Chickpea Stew Thursday, September 08, 2011, 12:05 PM
We did the koftas without any tzatziki or bread. We just ate them with a fork and knife. We followed the same recipe as last time except we didn't use too much salt. The mint was wintergreen I think and maybe I used more since they were mintier than before. I still really liked them. It is just not an expected flavor inside of beef.
The stew was based on the recipe below. It was a bitdisappointing. Not too many flavors came out. I think one thing was the pot with everything but the eggplant was too crowded so we didn't get the flavors to develop as well. Also, we went lighter on the sauce since were using the leftovers from the pizza and it was all we had.After reading about Harissa, we usedSriracha instead. We actually had and used freshparsleyand cilantro. No hurry to make this again!

Clear Hurricane Shutters Keep Your Home Safe
Anyone who lives along the Gulf Coast and the southern Atlantic Coast can easily see the value of clear hurricane shutters. Andrew, Charley, Frances, Jeanne, names that will make any Florida resident break into a cold sweat. There are still areas of Port Charlotte, Arcadia, and countless other communities recovering from those devastating storms. And, of course, the most recent Mother of All Storms: Katrina. The best way to protect the most vulnerable areas of a home, namely the windows, is with shutters.
The standard hurricane shutter can come in galvanized steel, wood, plywood and other sturdy materials. But, they all have one negative aspect in common: a lack of transparency. Sitting inside a house that is literally being squeezed, stretched and nearly torn asunder by the very worst Mother Nature can offer is bad enough. To have to do it in a "cave" is downright terrifying.
So it was that TPS, Inc. (Transparent Protection Systems, Inc.), among other companies, developed a clear window and door protection system. In the case of TPS, they created their ClearGuard hurricane panels. Based on extensive tests that were carried out in south Florida labs, it offers hurricane protection that meets the stringent national, state and county regulations. Made from the same powerful polymer that was originally invented for use in the canopies for jet fighters and car light lenses, it is as strong as any steel or aluminum panels. Yet, as it is virtually transparent (tests show it allows up to eight-five percent light transmission), the people inside are able to still see what is going on outside.
Light, as is the light that allows us to see, is only one issue. There is also the matter of light as in weight. Normal storm shutters of steel and wood are quite heavy. In addition, they are also often big, bulky and difficult for one person to install. Aluminum shutters cut down on weight, but they have the problem of being easily bent during transport or while being stored between hurricane seasons. Polymer based shutters have none of these problems. While light weight and easy for anyone to put in place, a single band can deform, but they just as easily snap back to its true shape. So, it is clear to see that clear hurricane shutters have several outstanding features to them.

Ibrahim Waheed "Kalaavehi"
"Hello! How are you?" Exquisite words breathed out by millions worldwide, hinting at a sense of connection if not connectivity, words so breathlessly meaningful when said right! Words uttered under cherry trees and cedars, by placid lakes and erupting geysers, on coral isles and rocky hills. Words always enveloping listeners in comforting blankets of soft proximity and caring. Words sometimes sung as a consecrated chant at the altar of love. "Are you OK, dear? Happy, honey?"
Words echoing emptily off the bare walls of the very small room holding its tired single bed prisoner under faded bedclothes and a saggy mattress. Words oozing dully out of a nondescript phone to inevitably die into cobwebby shadows at his tired feet. Words meant to breathe life into his lonely soul at the droopy tail end of yet another gray day of solitary alienation in an alien land.
"I am OK, I guess! A little bit lonely in this busy little place. But nothing that cannot be dealt with. Who knows? Tomorrow might be my lucky day. They promised me an interview." Sometimes a little up-front explanation, a little risky sharing, is good for the soul. Especially after a hard day's work looking for a job in a market saturated with the local, the home-grown and the imported. "How are you feeling tonight, honey?"
Words of heartfelt concern that can perform no physically measurable action, words empty of action but pregnant with cerebral meaning. Words of intimate anxiety, words of that could weld two forlorn souls into the hardest of bonds and the sweetest of fetters.
"I am doing well, my dear. As long as you call me every night, I am happy. Your happiness is my reason for living, the purpose of my very existence. Your calls keep my body and soul together." The affectionate language of supreme devotion. "How long do you think you can keep on like this in that cruel little place? My heart goes out to you. How is your health?"
Words that can keep a man going well past the terminal velocity of freefall if unheeded. Words that can reverse any freefall and lift a man's superego and psyche into geosynchronous orbit around the personalized source of love and caring, understanding and sharing, fulfilling the basic truth of every dream. Words so light and free, yet so supremely meaningful.
"I guess I am doing well, given the circumstances. Just a couple of tired feet and the just a hint of an annoying little headache creeping up the back of my neck. But the greater problem is this strange feeling of emptiness welling up in me. I feel almost disembodied from the physical being that has to be me. If only I can get some more time, some encouragement from someone who cared deeply about me, I could carry this burden on my shoulders. If the pain in my side subsides……." He shared his woes and desires with her. He wanted to. He needed to.
"If only I can be with you, I would hold your face in my hands and gently massage your head till the headache went away. I would wet your lips with my tears and dry them with my eyelashes. I would hold your hand all night and look at the hard work that comes flowing out of them. I would kiss your feet so that they may fly on wings tomorrow." Her voice, husky and gentle in its divine softness soothed his inner spirit into submission, his body adjusting accordingly.
Words so powerfully moving, and yet… somehow too good to be true. Words that would lose their charge as the day wore on tomorrow. Words that would need to be replaced tomorrow. He put the phone down.
The phone rang again and he picked it up, immediately. Because he knew by heart the robotized words that would flow out of the earpiece. "Your last personalized call from Lonely Souls Inc. cost 27 Rufiyaa 34 Laari. To pay by our pre-paid credit facility, press One. To pay by credit card press Two. To pay by………."

Renaming A Child – Can I Change My Child's Name After Separation?
Family Lawyers are often asked by parents (usually, the primary caregiver for a child) about their ability to change their child's surname, after separation or divorce. That parent might have reverted to using their maiden name, or might ultimately be re-marrying a new partner with an entirely different surname. Occasionally, there may be several children … Continue reading "Renaming A Child – Can I Change My Child's Name After Separation?"

Special NIA court sends 16 accused of setting up terror group 'Ansarullah' to eight-day custody
It was alleged that Maraicar was closely associated with the IS and was actively recruiting individuals for a terror strike in India.
Published: 20th July 2019 01:18 AM | Last Updated: 20th July 2019 01:18 AM | A+A A-
CHENNAI: A special NIA court Friday granted the probe agency eight-day custody of 16 accused arrested for allegedly attempting to set up a terror outfit, "Ansarullah", and collecting funds to carry out attacks in the country.
Moving a plea for their 10-day custody, the special pubic prosecutor (SPP) for the National Investigation Agency (NIA) said the agency needed to take the accused to various places to verify the evidence collected against them during the probe.
"The interrogation of the accused is required to unearth the source of funds, their transmission and utilisation the larger conspiracy," the NIA submitted before Judge P Chenthoorpandi.
The counsels for the accused strongly opposed the NIA plea and said all the respondents, except two -Hasan Ali Yunus Maraicar and Harish Mohamed, were working in a foreign country and were suddenly deported to India and arrested thereafter.
The probe officer had not mentioned any good grounds for seeking custody, they said.
"There is no necessity for custodial interrogation of the respondents. If police custody is granted they will be physically and mentally tortured by the NIA and there is a possibility of creating false evidence against the respondents," they contended.
The SPP said seven of the 16 accused were lodged in a prison in the UAE.
They were deported to India on July 12 and arrested the next day.
"This is a case of serious nature, involving the safety and security of our country and this is a case which has not been investigated earlier by any police agency.
"Hence, taking the respondents into custody is inevitable for a proper probe," he said.
The judge said the accused persons had formed a group which was known by various names like "Wahadat-e-Islami", "Jarnaat Wahadat-ul-Islam-al-Jihadiya", Jihadist Islamic Unit", and "Ansarullah".
Their aim was to establish Islamic rule in India by resorting to violence.
According to the prosecution, they supported IS and Al-Qaeda.
It was alleged that Maraicar was closely associated with the IS and was actively recruiting individuals for a terror strike in India.
The prosecution also alleged that Maraicar, along with another man, Syed Buhari, was conspiring to destabilise the democratic polity of India to establish Islamic rule by unleashing violent jihad against the Government of India.
The court granted custody of the accused to the NIA from 5 pm on Friday to 5 pm on July 26.
It said the NIA should produce the accused before it on July 26 and made it clear that the respondents must not be ill-treated either mentally or physically.

Immigrant right to education reaffirmed: Column
It's never too late to learn.
Last week, Attorney General Eric Holder reminded school districts that they are responsible for educating all children, including undocumented immigrants and the children of undocumented immigrants. Together the Education and Justice departments have issued guidelines to ensure that school districts are in compliance with federal law. Attempts to exclude immigrants from our schools, Holder said, "weaken our nation … by leaving young people unprepared and ill-equipped to succeed and contribute to what is, in many cases, the only home they have ever known."
According to the Department of Homeland Security, there are 1.1 million undocumented children under 18 living in the U.S., while a 2011 Pew Research Center report found there were 4.5 million U.S.-born children of undocumented immigrants.
The announcement is welcome news for the Latino community. Not only do undocumented children have a right to a public education thanks to the 1982 Supreme Court decision in Plyler v. Doe, it is smart public policy as well.
Yet some school districts have been asking parents for their Social Security numbers or driver's licenses before they enroll their children. These questions are illegal, because undocumented immigrants are likely to lack these types of documentation and may be discouraged from enrolling their children in school. So the Justice Department is providing school districts with a list of documents that they can request of parents, like copies of bills or lease agreements (to meet residency requirements) and affidavits or prior school records (for proof of age).
Not everyone thinks the move is a good idea. Roy Beck, president of Numbers USA, an organization that wants to reduce immigration, told USA TODAY that, "It just seems to send a message to the world, 'We are here to protect those who break immigration laws and we're going to do almost nothing to enforce it."
Beck overlooks the fact that these children did not break the law. Why should they be punished for the actions of their parents? If these children were not in school, they could be at risk for crime, gang activity, drug abuse, or worse. Since it may take years for our immigration debate to be settled, in the meantime it serves society's interests that all school-age children are in school.
National Review Online columnists Peter Kirsanow and Carissa Mulder also criticize the initiative, calling it "part of the administration's ongoing effort to gut immigration law and normalize illegal immigration." But they are unwisely conflating immigration policy and education policy. While the former may be broken, the latter can be fixed. Kirsanow and Mulder write that since a judge struck down an Alabama law requiring that school districts check the immigration status of students, "no state checks the immigration status of school children." They are correct, but many school districts have continued to erect barriers to immigrant children.
The Justice Department told the New York Times that since 2011 that they have received 17 complaints that led to legal action against school districts for discriminating against immigrant children. In the last few years, school districts in New Jersey, Georgia, Michigan, North Carolina, California and Florida have had to adjust their policies to comply with the law. In fact, many school districts may not realize that they are breaking the law when they require certain documents from prospective students.
True, the more children that are in public schools, the more it costs taxpayers. But undocumented immigrants pay taxes like everyone else. The nonpartisan Institute for Taxation and Economic Policy found that undocumented immigrants paid $10.6 billion in state and local taxes in 2010. Educating undocumented immigrants means they will be able to improve their lives, contribute more fully to society and assimilate more quickly, by learning English and American values. That's a net gain for everyone.
The Justice Department should be commended for reaffirming the rights of all children to access public education. The goal of U.S. school districts should not be to intimidate potential students, but to welcome and educate them.

Art straddles boundary between painting and sculpture
Hawke's Bay-based artist Leanne Morrison says she's really excited to showcase her new exhibition Off the Edge to a local audience at Hastings City Art Gallery this coming Friday.
Going against convention the five works that comprise this collection are being displayed in the middle of the Alcove and Foyer galleries rather than on the walls.
"It's suggesting that painting can be seen for both its illusionistic qualities as well as its object materiality of the thing, hovering somewhere between painting and sculpture," Morrison says.
"I think of my paintings as works in progress, provisional, a thing under construction. It's not 2D flatness – I build up the shallow depths of paint with a spray gun to create texture, and sometimes the colour is transparent and you can see the layer below, at other times opaque, covering and hiding layers.
"The cotton of the canvas is also as much a feature of the work as anything else - its stretch over the wood, what is happening on the reverse of the canvas – I am pushing the idea of expanding the forms beyond the surface of the painting into the space of the viewer."
Having worked and travelled extensively in her younger years, including living in the UK for a time, it wasn't until she moved to Hawke's Bay in about 2001 with her Irish husband that she turned her focus to art.
After gaining a diploma in art and design from Eastern Institute of Technology, she followed up with a Bachelor's degree in Art and Design, and then a Master of Fine Arts qualification from Whitecliff College of Arts and Design in Auckland.
"I was very lucky I was picked up quickly by Milford Galleries in Dunedin – I've had a solo show and a few group shows there – I feel very privileged to be doing something that means everything to me and that other people might enjoy."
She says the intention behind her works is to create a moment that people might connect with - maybe a reminder of a place or an event, or it may spark an interest in the material quality of the works how the paint slips around the edges of the canvas, the way the works exist as objects in their own rights, not just as paintings.
People are invited to attend the opening at 5.30pm on Friday, December 6, and if they want to find out more about Morrison's works they can also attend the free floortalk on Saturday, December 7 at 11am – both at Hastings City Art Gallery.
This exhibition will be in place until February 23, joining two other new displays that have recently opened - Richard Brimer's Harvest (on until March 1, 2020) and Andy Leleisi'uao's Kamoan Mine (on until March 22, 2020).

Now this is an interesting topic we would love to talk about. Taking care for blind dog is more than challenge itself. It represents lovely act of humanity. Knowing basic dog directives will not be enough but don't get worried about that. You will get hang of it pretty quickly.
Dogs are some of the most popular pets that people choose to own. They act as companions, provide security and can act as an exercise buddy for those looking to stay healthy.
However like humans, some dogs have handicaps, either they are born blind or become blind as a result of an accident. Blind dogs need extra care and attention to help them, lead happy healthy lives. However if your dog happens to have been born blind there are few things one must do.
Dogs that re born blind can surprisingly adapt to their environments quickly. They needn't be confined to areas where it is unmoving. Capable of developing mind maps like humans but need to be kept far away from stairs and sharp objects.
Use a professional or yourself to house train them properly. Prepare treats that will act as rewards in the training process such as chicken thighs. Condition them by referring certain words with a touch or a treat. Also condition negative sounds with sharp sounds. The bright side of blind dogs is that they learn faster than sighted dogs. Train your dog to step, sit, rollover and shake and any other commands that you desire. It is expected that they make take longer time practice patience with them.
Step training is a process that will take time, dogs are naturally afraid of stairs and disorientation can cause them to tumble. A useful tip is to always carry dogs on stairs.
When walking your dog gives them time to familiarize themselves with the environment. Let them stop and smell flowers because they are denied the visual stimuli of walks. Also remember to be a little more lenient because they don't heel well, this because they cannot see where your heel is. A well trained blind dog can give as much joy as a sighted one.

Editors: Dmitry Budker and Derek F. Jackson Kimball
Publisher: Cambridge University Press – 412 pages
Book Review by: Sonu Chandiram
In optical magnetometry, a magnetic field is measured by observing changes in the properties of light interacting with matter immersed in the field.
This is not a new area of study, as its origins can be traced back to 1845 when Michael Faraday discovered the rotation of the plane of linearly polarized light as it propagated through a dense glass in the presence of a magnetic field. Faraday's historic discovery was the first known experimental evidence demonstrating the relationship of light with electromagnetism, the editors of this book point out in their Preface.
About a century later, atomic magnetometers based on 'optical pumping' were introduced and over time, perfected by a number of pioneers. In recent years, there has been a revolution in this field of study, leading to new processes and the development of devices such as:
- Efficient anti-relaxation wall coverings
- Optical magnetometers based on color centers in diamonds
- Techniques for elimination of spin-exchange relaxation
- Tunable diode lasers
Today, optical magnetometers are pushing the boundaries of sensitivity and spatial resolution, and in contrast to their able competition from superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometers, they do not require cryogenic temperatures. Some of the novel applications of optical magnetometers that have flourished are:
- Detecting signals in micro-fluidic nuclear-magnetic resonance chips
- Measuring magnetic fields in the human brain
- Observing single nuclear spins in a sold matrix.
Forty-two specialists in optical magnetometry and related fields, from all over the United States and eight other countries – Canada, Chile, Denmark, Germany, France, Israel, Poland, and Russia – authored the 20 chapters of this book
We present to you below the titles of the chapters to serve as a broad overview of the contents of this work:
- Part I. Principles
- General Principles and Characteristics of Optical Magnetometers
- Quantum Noise in Atomic Magnetometers
- Quantum Noise, Squeezing, and Entanglement in Radiofrequency Optical Magnetometers
- Mx and Mz Magnetometers
- Spin-Exchange Relaxation-Free Magnetometers (SERF)
- Optical Magnetometry with Modulated Light
- Micro-fabricated Atomic Magnetometers
- Optical Magnetometry with Nitrogen-Vacancy Centers in Diamond
- Magnetometry with Cold Atoms
- Helium Magnetometers
- Surface Coatings for Atomic Magnetometry
- Magnetic Shielding
- Part II. Applications
- Remote Detection Magnetometry
- Detection of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance with Atomic Magnetometers
- Space Magnetometry
- Detection of Bio-magnetic Fields
- Geophysical Applications
- Part III. Broader Impact
- Tests of Fundamental Physics with Optical Magnetometers
- Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Gyroscopes
- Commercial Magnetometers and their Applications
This book is a pioneering and unique work, as it puts together for the first time all the remarkable progress that has occurred in optical magnetometery. It lays down and discusses at length not only all the achievements, but also the conventions, principles and techniques in this field of science. Within its chapters, you'll find charts and formulas that help you better understand the topics being discussed.
This book has been written for students and practitioners, as well as for anyone interested to learn about this exciting, fast-growing field. Go to www.Cambridge.org/9781107010352 which serves as a repository for additional and the latest information.
Dmitry Budker is Professor of Physics at the University of California at Berkeley, Faculty Scientist in the Nuclear Science Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, and co-founder and scientist at Rochester Scientific, LLC. His research interests are related to the study of violation of discrete symmetries and the development and applications of optical-magnetometry techniques.
Derek F. Jackson Kimball is Associate Professor and Chair of the Department of at California State University at East Bay. His research focuses on using techniques of experimental atomic physics and nonlinear optics for precision tests of the fundamental laws of physics.

The Anantara Hua Hin Resort in Thailand has
launched a 'Soap for Hope' CSR programme.
Every year hotels generate tonnes of solid soap waste.
response, Soap for Hope was created to teach at-risk communities
to salvage hotel soap slivers and turn them into new soap bars.
The charitable programme enables hygiene which save lives, by
providing communities at risk with access to soap. The recycling
project also provides local communities with a livelihood, and
helps hotels to reduce waste by turning used soap into something
useful again.
Soap is recovered from Sealed Air hotel
customers, which are Soap for Hope programme partners, and then
transported to a local site where residents reprocess it using an
innovative but simple cold-press method. The new soap is then
transported to communities in need and distributed.
Manish Jha, General Manager of Anantara Hua Hin
Resort, said, "The launch of Anantara Hua Hin Resort's Soap for
Hope CSR programme provided a uniquely rewarding experience, in
which resort team members and guests worked together to help save
the environment and better the lives of children in need."

Somalia: Puntland President heads to Saudi Arabia
BOSSASO, Puntland- The President of Somalia's northeastern region of Puntland, Abdiwali Mohamed Ali "Gaas", has arrived in Bossaso town, the provincial capital of Bari region on Thursday, Garowe Online reports.
Close sources tell GO that President Ali, who is accompanied by members of the state Presidency is expected to travel to Saudi Arabia to perform Hajj, the annual Islamic pilgrimage to Makkah.
The visit followed after Puntland has announced that it is siding with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates on the Gulf crisis and called for the Federal Government of Somalia to reconsider its position.
A statement released by Presidency on Wednesday, the Semi-autonomous government of Puntland has thanked Saudi and UAE governments for carrying out various development projects in Somalia and the security support.
It urged the federal government, to review its neutral stance it took on Gulf crises, due to the country's good and historical relations with Saudi Arabia and UAE, warning a division among the Somali people.
President Ali's trip to Saudi Arabia comes as his tenure ending in one and a half year.

Awarded a 2017 Bessie Award for Outstanding Production (Voyeur), Bridgman|Packer Dance's enigmatic wizardry and seamless blend of live performance and video technology can bring to life the long forgotten stories buried in the walls of an abandoned American factory, evoke the hauntingly vivid world of painter Edward Hopper, capture the arid beauty of the Mojave Desert, or transform an ordinary box truck into a stunning micro-world. The duet form explodes into a kaleidoscopic wonder– all in one breathtaking evening of dance.
NEW WORK: Ghost Factory (Premiering 20/21)
Running time: TBD
Choreography and Performance: Art Bridgman and Myrna Packer
Video: Peter Bobrow
Drone Cinematography: Gavin Preuss
Sound Design: Jeff Cook
Inspired by the local community and vast deserted factories of Johnson City, a small upstate New York town, Ghost Factory explores remnants of a past industrial era. Live performance merges with striking video imagery of abandoned buildings. Through in-depth interviews, audio-recorded stories told by elders who worked in these factories are woven into the narrative, evoking the humanity these spaces once held. By deeply focusing on one town's human stories, the work will reveal the larger context of post-industrial decline and the human themes of loss and the longing for something better.
The company is currently seeking commissioning partners and developmental residency opportunities. Contact Pentacle for details.
Table Bed Mirror (2019)
Running time: 30 minutes
Choreography, Performance and Video: Art Bridgman and Myrna Packer
Technology Design: John Erickson, Cristopher Blair
Sound Design: Art Bridgman and Myrna Packer
Table Bed Mirror is the latest in Bridgman|Packer Dance's body of work of "Video Partnering", their award-winning and genre-breaking integration of live performance and video technology. The work navigates through an illogical and fantastical night of dreams. While galloping through constantly shifting realities, the work references the neuroscience of the dream process and contrasts dreams' most ridiculously commonplace details with the expansive and outrageous. Live performance, video, text, and sound score create an absurdist collage that intends to confound the perception of reality and flip assumptions upside down.
**See Table Bed Mirror: Thurs, Sept 25 as part of the Arts Midwest Spotlight Showcase in Minneapolis, MN.**
Parts of Table Bed Mirror were developed during a Catalpa Artist Residency 2018, Desert Hot Springs, CA.
Running time: 20 minutes, performed at repeated intervals throughout an evening
Audience size: max 100 (30 seats, the rest standing)
Choreography, Performance and Video: Art Bridgman and Myrna Packer
Music: A Hawk and A Hacksaw, Beats Antique
Performed inside a 17-foot box truck, TRUCK brings performance to nontraditional and unexpected locations. Through Bridgman|Packer's signature integration of live performance and video technology, an ordinary truck evolves from the utilitarian into a reimagined space, a micro-world of visions and transformation. Exploring how context changes perception, the work ranges from evocative to humorous, to sensuous, to wacky. With the audience looking into the bed of the truck from the outside, the work can be performed in parking lots, parks, loading docks, plazas, street corners, or large indoor spaces. TRUCK can be presented in conjunction with stage presentations or as a separate event.
**See TRUCK: Tues, Sept 24 as part of the Performing Arts Exchange Juried Showcase in Orlando, FL.**
Sections of TRUCK were developed during Fellowships with Experimental Film Virginia 2014, 2017.
Site-Specific Dance/Drone Film: Look Out (2018)
Running time: 8 minutes
Choreography, Performance and Film Editing: Art Bridgman, Myrna Packer
Cinematography: Gavin Preuss
Art Bridgman and Myrna Packer, in collaboration with cinematographer Gavin Preuss, will create an original short dance film, shot at the venue's location entirely with a drone camera. With choreography, performance, and editing by Art Bridgman and Myrna Packer and drone video photography by Gavin Preuss, the work can be screened separately or in conjunction with a Bridgman|Packer Dance performance engagement.
The first in this series of short films was shot on location at LUMBERYARD Contemporary Performing Arts, Catskill, NY during their Under Construction Summer Festival 2018.
Remembering What Never Happened (2015)
Running time: 32 minutes
Choreography and Performance: Art Bridgman and Myrna Packer
Technology Design: Phillip Gulley
Sound Design: John Guth
Expanding on their signature integration of live performance and video technology, memory becomes a constantly shifting territory as they delve into the changeable nature of time, form, and perception. Bridgman and Packer interact with their video images that morph and explode into digital re-interpretations of the human body, while scenes shot on location in the Mojave Desert transform into surreal landscapes.
In a departure from their past work, this piece incorporates simultaneous computer video processing with time-delay and image altering capabilities. Multiple video images appear and evaporate in response to the performers' movements and evolve from photo realism into strokes of abstraction. The work rides the line between the constant and the shifting, the tangible and the subconscious, while exploring the plasticity of memory and experience.
Remembering What Never Happened is a National Performance Network (NPN) Creation Fund/Forth Fund Project co commissioned by The Yard (Chilmark, MA) in partnership with Opera House Arts (Stonington, ME), and Silvermine Arts Center (New Canaan, CT) and NPN. The Creation Fund is supported by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, Ford Foundation, and the National Endowment for the Arts (a federal agency). The Forth Fund is supported by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. Parts of Remembering What Never Happened were developed during The Yard's 2015 Offshore Creation Residency and a Catalpa Artist Residency 2015, Desert Hot Springs, CA. The creation of this work is also made possible in part by a 2015 National Endowment for the Arts Grant. Remembering What Never Happened premiered in 2015 at The Yard.
Voyeur (2012)
Running time: 33 minutes
Choreography and Performance: Art Bridgman and Myrna Packer
Video: Peter Bobrow
Sound Design: Scott Lehrer and Leon Rothenberg
Bessie Award-winning Voyeur takes the paintings of Edward Hopper as its point of departure. Through their integration of live performance and video technology, Bridgman and Packer immerse themselves in Hopper's world of color, light, perspective, and voyeurism, with its implications of isolation, obstruction, and under-the-surface eroticism. Fragmented moments of private lives are witnessed through windows and doorways; the presence of a seen or unseen viewer lies at the heart of Voyeur.
Voyeur is co-commissioned by Portland Ovations (Portland, ME) and the Edward Hopper House Art Center (Nyack, NY). The creation of Voyeur is made possible by a grant from the National Endowment for the Arts.
Under the Skin (2005)
Running time: 26 minutes
Choreography and Performance: Art Bridgman and Myrna Packer
Music: Ken Field
Video: Peter Bobrow and Jim Monroe
In Under The Skin, the duet form explodes into a magically populated stage as Bridgman and Packer interchange with their ever-multiplying virtual selves. Performers' bodies and costumes become projection screens, morphing and redefining their identities while revealing psychological depths.
Under the Skin is a co-commissioning project of Contemporary Dance Theater (Cincinnati, OH) in partnership with The Dance Place (Washington, D.C.) and the National Performance Network Creation Fund. The NPN Creation Fund is sponsored by the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation, Ford Foundation, Altria, and the National Endowment for the Arts. The creation of Under the Skin was also supported by funds from the 92nd Street Y New Works in Dance Fund, NYC. Technological support was provided by SUNY Rockland: Communications/Media Arts.

let's not hate each other
we're both equally bad at

Trust Issues

which parts of you
went missing.
A Thousand Words
When I wrote today I
wrote a thousand words that
I wasn't proud of but
I was proud to have started because
when you run, you lose when you stop
and I didn't stop,

In the notes after example 3 you show the goodwill of the NCI as 19,600 which I understand the workings but can you please explain why the goodwill of the NCI comes out more than 40% of the goodwill (44,000 x 40%=17,600) also the Fair value of the NCI (30,000) is higher than it's percentage stake (70,000 x 40%=28,000).
Is it just the example or is there a reason it comes out like this.
Thank you for all the lectures, they are very well explained and easy to understand.
John Moffat says
The fair value of the NCI at the date of acquisition can be anything. If you were not given a value (which you would be in F3) then you would assume it had the same value per share as what the holding company paid for their shares. Since the holding company paid $40,000 for 60% of the shares, the value of the shares held by the subsidiary would then be valued at 40/60 x $40,000 = $26,667. However, the question says that $30,000 was the fair value at the date of acquisition. (Usually, in fact the fair value would have been less than 26,667 because a smaller holding is likely to be worth less per share than a large holding).
It is for the same reason that the goodwill for the NCI is more than 40% (but you would never be expected to do that 'check' in the exam – it would be wasting time 🙂 )
savli says
thank you for the lectures. Sir i have a query.Can these questions be practiced for IFRS dec 2017 exams as well
John Moffat says
I am not sure which exams you are referring to.
If you mean Paper F3 in December, then yes – the lectures are all valid for December.
bballhawk says
Thank you, thank you ,thank you for these notes and lectures. Did I say thank you?
In the video above you obtain the NCI by adding their share of retained earnings 4000 to the minority original vair value 30000 for a total of 34000. Perfectly logical so far.
Then you find the NCI interest in a different way, which line by line works perfectly and final result is somehow the same EXCEPT this line makes no sense to me
"Retained earnings (40% x 16,000) 6,400"
There must be a reason for taking 40 percent of 16000 and not 40 % of the post acquisition 10000 profit, but for the life of me I don't see it.
In the video the same share is 4000, which understandable, but in the notes their share is 6400
Can you pleeeeeeeease explain ?
bballhawk says
Sorry, my question is regarding example 3 in the notes
John Moffat says
Those workings were only done as a check – they are not needed for the exam and if they confuse you then ignore them.
The minority are entitled to their share of all the retained earnings, it is just that the fair value at the date of acquisition will already include their share of pre-acquisition earnings.
bballhawk says
I see. I just did the quiz and I am getting all the answers ( being a multiple choice helps if I add figures wrong). I am still a little fuzzy on the partial ownership logic. On consolidated we subtract our investment and we add the goodwill and that somehow equals the partial profits plus the NCI minus original share capital. As I said, it does work based on your formulas, but I am not sure why … I will do more examples in the revision pack.
Cannot thank you enough.
John Moffat says
Keep practicing and do ask in the Ask the Tutor Forum if anything is still not clear.
sukhdebacca says
Dear sir, in example 1. Non controlling interest show, 20 % of $10000 for share capital of S ,And 20 % of $8000 for retain earnings of S, But in example 2 , For non controlling interest Why you only show 40 % of retain earnings of S, Why not Share capital also ?
John Moffat says
In example 1 it was bough on incorporation. It example 2 it was bought later and the fair value at the date of acquisition effectively includes the share capital and the pre-acquisition earnings, which is why we only need to add on 40% of the post-acquisition earnings.
sukhdebacca says
thank you very much sir. 🙂
John Moffat says
You are welcome 🙂
Abbas says
Dear sir,
As mentioned in example 1, if a P invests in S on date of incorporation. How come S has already retained earning of $8000.
John Moffat says
But this is example 2 and P did not acquire the shares on the date of incorporation! The question says that the retained earning on the date of acquisition were $6,000.
I assume that you have downloaded the free lecture notes?!
nomanijaz says
do we add unrealised profit (revaluation) to net assets when finding out goodwill
John Moffat says
You use all of the reserves at the date of acquisition (including revaluation reserve).
However this is not likely to be relevant in Paper F3.
Melchizedek says
Thanks Sir, I do have a question though. What happens when P has 50% and S has 50% also? Who makes the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position? or does in become unnecessary?
John Moffat says
You can only mean P owns 50% of S's shares and S owns 50% of P's shares (otherwise your question makes no sense).
Two things, we only consolidate if one company controls the other – it is not only shareholdings (as is explained in the lecture and in the notes), but for shareholdings it is when they own more than 50% (not exactly 50%).
Secondly, when there are 'cross-holdings' or holdings in companies that control other companies, then this is not in the syllabus for F3 – it is later exams.
Melchizedek says
Michael says
Hey Sir,
Can a question like example 6 come in exam but can it be included from what dealt with in all of the lectures, like can it be together with it where have to find goodwill etc and also receivables and payables to add to our console. bal. sheet?
John Moffat says
Yes it can be asked. In Section A of the exam it can only be little extracts. In Section B of the exam you can be asked to do the whole thing.
bev says
John, Thank you.
John Moffat says
You are welcome 🙂
Chau says
Yes, thanks you John 🙂
Moses says
Hello Sir,I know this is not very relevant,but which computer software are you using to deliver the content? I can see it allows for writing with different colours and even has an eraser. I would be so grateful…Regards…
John Moffat says
It is Microsoft Journal. It comes with Windows, but needs a special notebook.

Thank you very much…much appreciated!
nakeshia says
P acquired 400,000 ordinary $1 shares in S on I January 20X5 for $850,000. At that date the share capital of S was 500,000 $1 ordinary shares and accumulated profits of $400,000. The net assets of S at 1 January 20X5 were generally at fair value with the exception of a property which had a fair value of $100,000 in excess of its book value. The fair value of the non-controlling interests at the date of acquisition by P is $200,000. The company estimates the life of goodwill to be 10 years.
What is the amount of goodwill attributable to the equity owners of P that should appear in the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 20X7?
Help please
John Moffat says
The balance sheet value of the net assets at the date of acquisition is equal to the total capital plus reserves at the date of acquisition – 500,000 + 400,000 = 900,000. However, property has a fair value of 100,000 more, so the total value of the assets is 1,000,000.
The total value placed on the business at the date of acquisition is the amount P paid for their share (850,000) plus the value of the non-controlling interest at that date(200,000). So a total of 1,050,000.
The goodwill is the difference – 1,050,000 – 1,000,000 = 50,000.
The fact that the question says that it has an estimated life of 10 years implies that the 50,000 is amortised (depreciated) by 5,000 a year. If this were the case, then there would be 3 years depreciation which would give 35,000 (which is not an answer!!!)
In fact, these days we do not depreciate the goodwill – it should be revalued each year and reduced if its value has fallen. That is outside of F3, and so for F3 you would leave the value at 50,000.
(I don't know where you got the question from, but these days the examiner will not (should not) confuse you by giving any mention of an estimated life of goodwill)
nakeshia says
Thank you for replying. I did get 50000 but was not sure of the depreciation part. As you mentioned in earlier lectures that depreciation is not part of the f3 so I was shock to see it there. I got this question for 2013 Emile Woolf revision kit.
Thanks again for you help.
kafueman says
Thank you for the clear explaination
lanelle2 says
this is the best material I have worked with, the lecture is well explained and relevant. WELL DONE TO YOUR TEAM.
atherakhlaq says
As mentioned, Goodwill is $44,000 considering to Non-Controlling Interest (the other 40% of the S). I have a question, whether Goodwill will reflect in the Balance Sheet of the other company whih is holding 40%. Or will the goodwill only reflect in the Balance sheet which is holding more than 50% of share of S.
sedrak says
@atherakhlaq, Goodwill must be shown in the Consolidated statement of Financial position not in the others. And there have been said that the Parent is made the consolidated statement, therefore the Non controlling interests are not making the consolidated statement and not showing the Goodwill.
tauraiversatile says
Welldone, fully explained and really enjoyable. I pray it wont be more than this in the exam!

Ukraine, China speak out for need to reform UN Security Council
Ukraine and China are convinced of the need to reform the UN Security Council, according to the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry's policy and communication department.
This was discussed at a meeting between First Deputy Foreign Minister of Ukraine Natalia Galibarenko and Special Envoy of the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs for UN Security Council reform Gāo Yushēng on Tuesday, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry's policy and communication department told UNIAN.
The sides also touched upon bilateral and multilateral cooperation, focusing on cooperation within the United Nations and other international organizations, the department said in a statement.
"In view of the celebration of the 70th anniversary of the Organization this year, the sides agreed that there is the need for making its work more efficient, including through the reform of the UN Security Council," the statement reads.
According to Galibarenko, one of the signs that the UN Security Council needs to be reformed is the fact that it has failed to take effective measures to end Russian aggression against Ukraine, and Russia blatantly abuses its right of veto as a permanent member.
In turn, the Chinese side reaffirmed Beijing's continued support of Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty. The Chinese envoy also supported the feasibility of broadening the representation of the Eastern European region in the UN Security Council, the Ukrainian Foreign Ministry said.
As UNIAN reported earlier, the Russian Foreign Ministry has strongly opposed the limitation of the UN Security Council's permanent members' right of veto because this right is the "guarantee that the taken decisions are balanced."
