Last week, I did something big – something I'd always wondered about doing, hoped to do, yet was afraid of doing. If you follow me on social media, you may know that I'm talking about teaching a class! A few months ago at work, I was asked if I'd like to teach an intro class on food styling and photography, since we've never offered anything like it at NGI before. Although I in no way think myself an expert on either specialty, an intro class, I knew I could teach. Of course I said "Yes!", and began crafting a class description so we could open the class for registration. Much to my surprise, the class sold out in days (with a waitlist to boot), before my presentation was even written.
Piece by piece, the presentation came together, and my best friend Sofya offered to practice it with me. I came over the weekend before the class and gave her an abridged presentation, at which point I realized what I signed up for was no easy task. "Holy sh*t – I've never taught before. I have no idea what I'm doing!" I thought and began to panic. As the class day drew closer the panic intensified, and by the night before the class, I could barely sleep. I woke up at 5am to practice the presentation once more before heading out to work. By 6:30 that afternoon, the classroom was full and everyone's attention was on me. At 6:31, I took a deep breath, exhaled, and started my presentation. By what can only be described as a miracle, I actually did a good job. I didn't stutter, throw up or pass out – all three of which I desperately feared. On the contrary, I spoke with confidence, the students were engaged, and I even got some laughs! Three hours later, I was relieved, happy, and gave myself a proverbial pat on the back.
This recipe is meant to be a symbol of celebration – a marking of a special event with something indulgent – and for me, there is nothing more celebratory than juicy meat and melty cheese on white bread. Chocolate cakes be damned!
This particular patty melt is inspired by my favorite après-work destination in my 'hood, The Rookery. After heavy-lift weeks, Rene and I head there on Fridays for drinks and patty melts. Reading this blog you probably realize I'm not a big meat eater, but after a streak of difficult days, all I crave is a big hunk of juicy red meat. It must be some sort of primal instinct, the idea that I deserve to indulge in meat and alcohol after a long week of hunting and gathering (aka office work in exchange for a direct deposit).
The Rookery's patty melt is unlike any other: it's not greasy, and does not come topped with caramelized onions. Instead, it is a large round of meat (more like a burger) wedged between two slices of thick airy bread. It comes with chips – fried, thick-sliced potatoes – and brown sauce (HP sauce), since the bar's staff is of British descent. To replicate this beloved sandwich, I decided to forgo caramelized onions in my recipe, too. Most patty melt recipes will tell you to swipe a bit of mayo on the outside of the sandwich before frying it, but I opted to cook mine right in that glorious beef grease.Print
Patty Melts with 'Chips'
- Yield: 2 servings 1x
For the patty melts
- 2 teaspoons organic canola oil, divided
- 1 small yellow onion, finely diced
- Coarse sea salt
- 1/2 pound organic grass-fed beef (at least 15% fat)
- Freshly ground black pepper
- 4 slices thick-sliced soft airy bread (I used a fresh Italian loaf)
- 4 slices cheese of your choice (I used cheddar and muenster)
For the chips and special sauce
- Organic canola oil, for frying
- 2 medium russet potatoes, scrubbed, dried and sliced 1/3″ thick
- Coarse sea salt
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- About 1/2 tablespoon hot sauce of your choice, to taste
- Cornichons, to serve
To make patty melts
- In a large nonstick or cast iron skillet, heat 1 teaspoon canola oil over a medium-low flame. Add onion with a pinch of salt and cook until softened, stirring occasionally, 3-4 minutes.
- In a mixing bowl, combine beef and onions and season generously with salt and pepper. Using your hands, mix until well incorporated. Divide mixture in half and form into 2 patties to match the size and shape of your bread slices.
- Heat remaining teaspoon of oil in the same skillet over a medium-high flame. Cook patties until deeply caramelized, 3-4 minutes per side, occasionally pressing down with a spatula to keep patties flat. Remove patties from skillet and drain most of the fat from the skillet; return to the stove.
- Sandwich each cooked patty between bread with two slices of cheese. Place sandwiches into the skillet and cook until cheese is melted, occasionally pressing on sandwiches with a spatula. Slice each sandwich in half and serve immediately.
To make chips
- Heat 1/3″ canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add potatoes in a single layer (these will likely need to be cooked in batches). Cook until golden brown, 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and season with salt. Repeat with remaining potatoes.
- To make dipping sauce, stir together ketchup, mayo and hot sauce.
- Serve patty melts with hot chips, cornichons and special sauce.

Trojan horse: This country ruining NATO's united front on Russia
The North Atlantic Alliance is apparently worried that its supposedly united front against Russia has in fact been falling apart at the seams as evidenced among other things by the increasing cooperation between Athens, a NATO member and Moscow in areas including energy, tourism and defense.
A joint project aimed at producing Kalashnikov rifles in Greece seems to be of particular concern to NATO. The initiative, according to Greek Defense Minister Panos Kammenos, could get the green light as soon as anti-Russian sanctions are lifted.
"The fact that a strategically important NATO country like Greece is trying to build its own relationship with Moscow could seriously undermine the alliance's ability to present a united front to deter further acts of Russian aggression," an unnamed NATO official told the Telegraph.
The bloc's senior officials and military commanders have cited the non-existent Russian threat and the country's purportedly "aggressive" behavior to justify the alliance's unprecedented military buildup in Eastern Europe, the Baltic region and most recently the Black Sea.
NATO blames Moscow for meddling in Ukraine and Crimea's decision to reunite with Russia. For its part, Moscow has been committed to resolving the civil war in the neighboring nation, although it is not a party to the conflict.
However, Greece is not just any NATO member when it comes to Russia. Earlier this week, State Duma Chairman Sergei Naryshkin called Athens "Russia's oldest friend" and rightly so. Relations between the two countries date back a millennium.
"Our cooperation rests on a rock-solid base of common civilizational values, the Orthodox culture and a genuine mutual affection," President Vladimir Putin noted ahead of his visit to Greece in May.
Still Russia's emerging love affair with Greece, built on centuries of historical ties, could well be viewed as a "poke in the eye of NATO," Mark B. Baldwin, who has a master's degree in Russian language and literature, wrote for CounterPunch. But if NATO's leadership wants to blame someone for these developments, it should apparently look in the mirror.
"Having expanded the number of member countries to encircle Russia since the collapse of the Warsaw Pact, NATO has been working overtime to reignite old Cold War tensions by complaining of Russian aggression and demonizing Putin," he narrated.
Yet it is the activities of the North Atlantic Alliance that have "created a refugee crisis causing millions to flee for their lives," the analyst added. "The war on Libya has benefited the oil interests of powerful NATO countries, but left a disproportionate burden on the shoulders of Greece who is left to rescue thousands of desperate Libyans from the sea every week."
By deepening its relations with Russia, the Greek government "sends a message" to its NATO allies that Athens "would prefer to de-escalate tensions."
Austerity measures, imposed by the Troika of international creditors and the toll they have taken on the fragile Greek economy have also been a factor.
As a result, Greece and several other countries, notably Italy, have pushed for a greater dialogue on anti-Russian sanctions among European Union members, questioning the viability of the restrictive measures that have adversely affected bilateral cooperation.
On Saturday, Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras urged NATO leaders to engage in "constructive talks" with Russia. He has long advocated for a dialogue with Moscow, calling Cold War-style rhetoric and sanctions not productive.

Field Yates of ESPN reports that the Packers brought in free agent RB Montee Ball for a workout on Friday.
Ball, 24, was entering the third year of his four-year, $3.53 million rookie contract that included a $964,896 signing bonus when he was cut loose a few months ago.
It was surprising to see how much Ball has struggled since entering the NFL. He's dealt with a number of injuries and wound up falling down the Broncos' depth chart to the point where it was clear that they preferred their other options at running back.
Since becoming available, Ball has worked out for the Patriots and reportedly had some interest from the Bears.
In 2014, Ball was limited to appearing in just five games and rushing for 172 yards on 55 carries (3.1 YPC) to go along with nine receptions for 62 yards receiving and one total touchdown for the Broncos.

Number 1. Report of Brigadier General Leonard F. Ross, U. S. Army, commanding District of Jackson, Tenn., of operations August 30-September 1, 1862.
HEADQUARTERS DISTRICT OF JACKSON, Jackson, Tenn., September 7, 1862.
I have the honor to submit the following report of the operations of troops under my command during August 30 and 31 and September 1 instant:
On the morning of August 30 I received a dispatch from Colonel M. M. Crocker, commanding at Bolivar, that that post was threatened by a large force advancing from the south, and subsequently that Colonel Leggett had been sent out to make an attack on the advancing column of the enemy; that a skirmish had taken place with a force supposed to be about 4,000 strong and that re-enforcements had been asked for and sent forward. Feeling that an attack was being made on Bolivar I took the first train for that place. On arriving I ascertained that a severe skirmish had taken place 4 miles south of Bolivar between the forces under Colonel Leggett, consisting of the Twentieth and Seventy-eighth Regiments of Ohio Volunteers; four companies of the Second Illinois Cavalry, under Lieutenant-Colonel Hogg; two companies of the Eleventh Illinois Cavalry, under Major Puterbaugh, and one section of artillery, and the whole rebel force.
After a skirmish of about seven hours by our infantry, our artillery was brought to bear upon the enemy; this, followed by a gallant charge of our cavalry, under Lieutenant-Colonel Hogg, drove the enemy from the field. In this charge Colonel Hogg fell, while engaged in a hand-to-hand fight with Colonel McCulloch, by a shot fired by one of McCulloch's men. Night coming on, our forces fell back to within supporting distance of the balance of the division, formed a line of battle, and awaited a renewal of the attack. In the morning the enemy was nowhere in sight, but I heard that his main force had moved to our right and had gone north. Fearing an attack on Jackson in force, the place being but weakly garrisoned, without fortifications, I directed that Colonel Dennis, stationed at Estanaula, with the Twentieth and Thirtieth Illinois Volunteers, two companies of cavalry, under Captain Foster, and one section of artillery, return at once to Jackson, for which place I took the first train.
Within an hour of my return I was informed that the telegraph wires were cut and the railroad bridges fired between here and Bolivar, and that four companies of the Forty-fifth Volunteers at Medon, under Captain Palmer, were attacked by superior numbers. Six companies of the Seventh Missouri Volunteers, under Major Oliver, were at once sent forward to re-enforce Medon. Orders were also dispatched to Colonel Dennis, who was moving toward this place, to change his direction toward Medon, attack the enemy in the rear, and if possible cut them to pieces and capture them.

A council is to meet all of the families affected by the baby ashes scandal to discuss plans to create a memorial in Aberdeen for the victims.
Invitations will be sent out in the next four weeks providing details of the meeting.
It comes six months after the city council was slammed in the National Cremation Investigation, led by former Lord Advocate Dame Elish Angiolini.
The inquiry said the most serious issues of the entire Scotland-wide investigation had taken place at the city's Hazlehead Crematorium, run by the local authority.
Staff at the crematorium were found to have been cremating deceased infants in the same chamber as adults.
The ashes were then inadvertently mixed together and given back to the relatives of the deceased adult.
Now, a range of measures are planned to help those affected while also making sure future practices are correct.
A report by Aberdeen City Council chief executive Angela Scott, which will be heard by councillors on Wednesday, says: "A meeting will now take place with all those affected by the past practices at Aberdeen Crematorium to discuss plans for a local memorial.
"Invitations will be sent out within the next four weeks to all those that have contacted the council.
"Bereavement charities Sands (stillbirth and neonatal death charity) and Cruse Bereavement Care have been invited to help support families."
The council is continuing to receive claims in connection with historical practices at the crematorium.
Ms Scott's report adds: "These claims are confidential and are in the hands of the council's insurers."
Plans are also being looked to host specific chapel services for shared pregnancy loss cremations at Aberdeen Crematorium.
The report says: "NHS Grampian currently book quarterly (i.e. four) chapel services per year for parents where the hospital have made funeral arrangements.
"NHS Grampian have been informed that Aberdeen Crematorium can facilitate additional chapel services."

This piece of Boomercup fanart, which is part of BrickercupMasterX3's Boomercup month, is dedicated to Will Atkinson aka WillAforAwesome, Funactivefriend, and Skylar Michael Clearwater aka InsiderHorror who all celebrated their birthdays last week. So, I hope you guys had awesome, wonderful, brilliant, and dazzling birthdays and I wish you all a lot of love, joy, happiness, grandiosity, abundance, and charisma in your lives as artists and as people. This also goes to all of the Boomercup shippers as well, so, I hope you all enjoy this too.
Looks like Buttercup got herself such a major, near-death pickle when she and Boomer were on patrol. Just when they split up, Buttercup encountered some convicted sex offenders who wanted to have a go at her. In spite of her constant refusal, being loyally married to Brick, the sex offenders decided to almost do her in by battering her, slicing her with their pocket knives, and nearly burning her inside an abandoned building.
Boomer sensed something was wrong, as he heard noises in the distance. It was Buttercup being savagely ganged on by the felons inside the burning, abandoned building. He flew with the speed of light, got to the burning hideout, beat up the felons so savagely, and like the noble gentleman he is, he rescued his dear teammate Buttercup, so that she can be well-treated by her darling husband. Buttercup, in turn, is obviously more than grateful that Boomer came to her rescue and can truly see why Blossom admires him so much. Boomer is truly a selfless, strong, noble soul who deserves a lot of acclaim for his great heroism.
Well, I hope you all enjoyed this piece of Boomercup fanart, which, in turn, is my final Boomercup submission for this year. See you all in the next submission.
Boomer and Buttercup from The Powerpuff Girls belong to Craig McCracken and Cartoon Network.

Magnetic Therapy in Bio-energy Jewelry
Posted byon
The human body is designed to heal by itself whenever possible. Magnets help to speed up this process. As a species, we were developed in an environment, rich in magnetic fields, oxygen, and water.
Magnetic therapy is considered to be a type of alternative medicine and is centered around the belief that magnets, when applied directly to the body, may stimulate the healing process. Proponents of this therapy believe that it can improve circulation, stimulate the immune system, and even promote relaxation.
Some benefits of magnetic therapy apply to what may be considered mental wellbeing. It is believed to cause the brain to release hormones called endorphins, which are responsible for feelings of happiness and contentment. In addition, magnets may also help to stabilize the metabolic system, which can also significantly impact mood.
In order to understand the concept of magnetic energy healing, we need to understand the magnetic energy system first. The etheric human body consists of chakras or anchored energy vortexes. The etheric human body consist of physical-etheric, emotional, mental, and the soul. These are connected by channels of energy, which converge in the energy vortex.
Each energy vortex or center differs from the other in relative size. There are in reality hundreds of such energy centers in your body. The 4 etheric body forms an energy field that surrounds your physical body. This energy field is generated by the central energy channel that runs from the base of the spine to the forehead.
This central energy channel connects all 7 energy vortex as well. So when the energy in your body moves through the channel and the vortex, it creates and the electromagnetic field that surrounds your physical body.
This electromagnetic field is at the heart of magnetic energy healing. Whenever there is a blockage in the movement of the energy through the channels or from the vortex, it causes disharmony, which further affects a specific part of the etheric human body. This energy blockage normally impacts the mental state, emotional, and physical state. The energy blockage is also one of the causes of stress, anxiety, anger, depression, flu or cold, joint pain, and much more.
You can feel the obstacles or blockages through cold or warm spots and an increase in tingling sensation. Some of the other symptoms of magnetic energy blockage include goosebumps, lightheadedness, numbness in a particular part of the body and so on. These blockages can lead to a migraine, nausea, diarrhea, pain in the heart and stomach, extreme sensitivity issues, and tiredness.
Benefits Of Using Magnetic Therapy Bio-Energy jewelry .
There are several underlying benefits of using magnetic energy for healing purposes. Some of the most prominent benefits include:
- It helps in increasing clarity. It can also remove confusion and doubt from your mind.
- It helps in removing negative energy and harmful or negative thoughts. Some of the negative emotions that can be removed include anger, resentment, betrayal etc.
- It will help you to restore your focus on your life, career, or other important aspects of life.
- It helps in reducing stress strengthening the body, mind, and spirit
- It helps in removing different types of mind distractions
- It removes any type of weak energy that hampers the functioning of your physical body
- It helps in removing or controlling emotional imbalances like low self-esteem, eating disorder, and addiction.
- It helps in controlling mental imbalances like indecisiveness, poor communication, insecurity etc.
- It also helps in restoring harmony and peace of mind by balancing the energy flowing through the energy channel and vortex.
If you would want to try this form of alternative therapy, then having jewelry with magnetic properties is the best way to have magnets on your body without having to look odd. You can now find jewelry made of magnetic materials in all forms including earrings, necklaces, bracelets, and anklets among others.
When worn close to your body the jewelry made of magnets produces a magnetic field which magnetizes iron molecules in your blood. This increases the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood which in turn increases blood circulation and oxygen supply to body tissues in the area with the magnetic fields.
The magnetic field produced by the magnets in your jewelry when close to your body helps trigger the production of more endorphins which are responsible for naturally reducing pain in the body. The magnets in the jewelry also play a major role in how you feel. Usually, the North Pole of the magnets triggers your body to produce chemicals that help calm your body while the South Pole triggers a stimulation effect.
AMega Bio-Energy Titanium Magnetic & Combi Bracelets and Necklaces are the right choice. They are made up of 3 important components; Titanium, Magnets, and Germanium (capsule embedded on the strap).

The Vietnam Maritime Administration is taking comments for a draft on a possible increase of 10 per cent in container handling charges, except for the Mekong Delta. This means that shipping lines might follow a rise in terminal handling charges.
According to Truong Dinh Hoe, general secretary of the Vietnam Association of Seafood Exporters and Producers (VASEP), in recent years, many shipping lines increased their charges way above their previous rates.
Since 2013, Mearsk/MCC Line, which has the largest market share in Vietnam, increased a series of its charges. For example, THC increased from VND4 million ($177.77) to VND5.2 million ($231.1) per container, while delivery order fee rose from VND550,000 ($24.44) to VND730,000 ($32.4).
What is more, shipping lines also applied new charges, such as container imbalance charge (CIC), which goes at $60 per container.
Differences in the application of the same charges are also a problem. For example, THC for 20-feet container varies from $90 to $105 and occasionally reaches $110 and even $120.
Although many import-export firms have been raising objections, the situation remains unchanged. The director of a seafood company in the southern province of Ba Ria-Vung Tau's Vung Tau city said that shipping lines all raised charges. If firms reject their business, they would not be able to make shipments.
"Each month, we export dozens of containers to Japan, meaning that we have to pay charges of several tens of millions of dong," he added.
According to a general director of a seafood company in Vung Tau, shipping lines have announced that from late April 2018 they would increase some charges by 3-5 per cent, or $70-100 per container.
"Each month, we export around 140 containers to the EU, Japan, and South Korea. With the new increase in charges, production costs will increase by VND210-300 million ($9,333-13,333) a month, significantly denting our profit," he admitted.
According to statistics from the Vietnam Maritime Administration, around 40 foreign shipping lines are operating in Vietnam, handling 88 per cent of all imports and exports.
The Vietnamese government issued Decree 146 in November 2016, asking shipping lines to publicise container handling charges by sea, surcharges, and service charges at seaports. However, import-export firms still complained about the unreasonable collection of charges and surcharges.
|Leading Vietnamese ocean shipping enterprise flooded by losses
One of Vietnam's leading ocean shipping companies, Vietnam Ocean Shipping JSC (Vosco), a subsidiary of Vietnamese shipping group Vinalines, has been operating with massive losses.
|Foreign shipping lines must now publicise fees
Foreign shipping lines will have to publicise charges, surcharges of freight services for containerised goods, and port service charges from July 1, 2017.
|Foreign shipping firms called out over unreasonable charges
The Vietnam Maritime Administration just hosted an urgent meeting with foreign shipping firm representatives.

Research also displays that regular exercise – especially strength training and Tai Chi – significantly reduces the risk of falling among older adults. Every year, one in three people aged 65 years or older experiences a fall.
A fall can result in serious injury, loss of confidence and dependence on community services and supports. Fall-related injuries cost NSW Health $333 million annually. By 2050, the cost of fall-related injuries to NSW Health will reach an estimated $645 million.
SHARE also facilitates Stepping On Programs which offer older people a way of reducing falls and at the same time increasing self confidence in situations where they are at risk of falling.
Falls are a serious problem, but can be prevented at any age.
This program, which was developed in Australia and been implemented in the USA and internationally is considered to be one of the most effective falls prevention programs available, giving people the confidence to undertake their everyday activities safely. Participation in a program like Stepping On will help older people maintain independence and give them confidence in their mobility so they are able to undertake their everyday activities safely and without the risk of falling.
The Stepping On program incorporates a group setting plus individualized follow-up. It covers a range of issues, including falls and risk, strength and balance exercises, home hazards, safe footwear, vision and falls, safety in public places, community mobility, coping after a fall, and understanding how to initiate a medication review. Best of all, it is FREE!

According to the Merriam-Webster English Dictionary, the word "feminism" is not as wishy-washy as the culture of 21st century American life has made it out to be. It does not mean, as some alt-right activists (read: racist, misogynistic pigs) would have us believe, being a man-hating, hairy legged lesbian (although, it certainly can mean that and to all those hairy legged lesbians out there- I do not condone hatred toward anyone- I see you and I think you are amazing). It is not either, as an entry on Urban Dictionary states, "a pitiful reason for fat chicks to get on TV." In fact… I'm not really even sure what that means. Most of all, it is not a philosophy, movement, ideology that advocates or believes in the superiority of women over men.
Rather, it is a philosophy, movement, ideology that believes that the fucking saddlebags of oppression have been weighing women down for far too long. It is a philosophy, movement, ideology built from the bones and dust and yes, the raging bloody rivers from inside the depths of all the glorious uteri. It is a philosophy, movement, ideology that acknowledges the forced silences of white women. It is a philosophy, movement, ideology that MUST learn to acknowledge the silences of black women, Asian women, Latina women, trans women, and all the women in between.
Since, as a white, straight woman, I cannot speak for all women, here are five wonderful slam poems that speak to the many different experiences of the women that make up this diverse country.
1. "9 Things I Would Like To Tell To Every Teenage Girl" by Melissa Newman-Evans
Favorite line: "The world is trying to kill you. It is trying to do this by stealing your voice... Kill it back."
2. "Ain't I A Woman" by Kai Davis
Favorite line: "Didn't a white girl closed-mouth smile at me today, tell me I'm beautiful then hack apart my body? Wear my lips, ass, and hair like a costume?"
3. "Maybe All Transgender People Are Really Vampires" by Chrysanthemum Tran
Favorite line: "Maybe I was born womb-less and wounded, born bloodthirsty for whatever would make me more woman."
4. "Unbuttoning My Boy Shirt" by Joy Young
Favorite line: "It is easy for eyes to read me in binary dress code. One zeroes in on my body and hair and clothes, how they clash expectation."
5. "The Bride" by Emi Mahmoud
Favorite line: "The first thing her mother taught her was how to wipe the tears before the blood dries. Shredded knees heal, but shame never fades away."
6. "#gamergate" by Elisa Chavez
Favorite line: "They treat me like so much public pixel and blame me for dressing in the only skin I get."
7. "10 Honest Thoughts On Being Loved By A Skinny Boy" by Rachel Wiley
Favorite line: "The phrase 'big girls need love too' can go die in a fire."
8. "Ode To My Bitch Face" by Olivia Gatwood
Favorite Line: "Bitch Face, I don't blame you for taking the iron pipe from their hands and branding yourself with it, for making a flag out of your body bag."
9. "To JK Rowling, From Cho Chang" by Rachel Rostad
Favorite line: "Thank you for giving me no heritage. Thank you for giving me a name as generic as a ninja costume."
10. "The Period Poem" by Dominique Christina
Favorite line: "Spill your impossible scripture all over the good furniture."
This month is women's history month. That's what we get, I guess. A month, to make up for all the histories we didn't get to write. It isn't perfect, but I suppose it's a start.Here's hoping they'll get you pumped up to destroy the patriarchy and make your voice heard!
So, go forth, be feminists, and let your feminism be intersectional.

Killer Cops:
An Encyclopedia of Lawless Lawmen
by Michael Newton
Loompanics Unlimited
November 1997
Paperback - 232 pages
In America, citizens are killed by the police every day of the year. We have come to expect that harsh reality, and in fact we like our lawmen rough and ready, as long as they are blowing away someone who apparently deserves it. We entrust the police with our lives, and in return we give law enforcement personnel the benefit of the doubt, assuming that in most cases such deaths are justified as self-defense.
Killer Cops: An Encyclopedia of Lawless Lawmen
is not about trigger-happy "cowboys" who pursued their duties with excessive zeal, nor does it second-guess the officers whose handling of violent suspects led to "accidental" deaths in custody. Instead, it lifts a different stone in order to scrutinize America's worst nightmare: sworn protectors of the law who used their badges as hunting licenses, killing on a whim for profit, sex, or personal revenge.
No rank or agency has been immune from shame in this regard. The cases profiled in this book span the continent and run the gamut of law enforcement's social scale, from small-town police departments to the normally sacrosanct FBI. Patrolmen stand convicted side-by-side with sergeants, chiefs, and county sheriffs. From the Old West's legendary Wyatt Earp to today's Bad Lieutenants, the pattern of homicidal lawlessness is clearly defined.
As Jack Webb, portraying the LAPD's Joe Friday, once pointed out, there will always be a few bad apples to be found among the police "because we have to recruit from the human race." The cases singled out in this book reiterate that point, without indicting law enforcement en masse. These examples of police malfeasance illustrate that while abusers may be few and far between, a better job of screening new police recruits and supervising veteran officers should be one of society's top priorities. We must be aware that there will always be a few lawmen who defile their pledge "to protect and serve," and be ever-vigilant in guarding against this obscene threat to our lives and personal safety.

Tome to the Weather Machine (USA)
November 2011
In grade school I had a pen pal from Australia. Was a nice young girl who sent me a gigantic ballpoint pen with a kangaroo on the top of it. Postcards, candy, toys. I (being from Fairbanks, Alaska), sent her back a little flag and some native Alaskan trinkets and things. Pictures. I told her about my two dogs, and probably Ninja Turtles. Having a pen pal is rad, especially one from Australia. I wish I could remember her name. I'd like to have another one.
Recently picked up this album from guitar/effects composer/noodler Andrew Tuttle (after reading a glowing review on Foxy (every day, people. Every. Day.), who is from Brisbane. And I've just been enjoying the hell out of it. Probably because it reminds me so much of Jim O'Rourke, both his earlier/more-recent acoustic guitar-based music as well as his intermittent electronic work on Mego. Anonymeye combines these two approaches in a pretty fascinating way, redefining the art of the tremolo, warping his guitar through what feels like an infinite number of processors while also letting a clean channel ring through with the piece's core melodic element. It's real pretty. He's also, apparently, constructing a musical framework based on Esperanto—"a politically neutral language that transcends nationality which would foster peace and international understanding between people with different regional and/or national languages." Awesome.
So anyway, I like the music as well as this idea of musical-Esperanto so much that I would like to reach out to Mr. Tuttle to see if he'd like to begin swapping packages, as he just comes across as a good candidate. Seems like a nice, charming fella. He doesn't even have to send me his music (I got this from eMusic… yes. I still buy music.). Let's just understand each other and foster peace! I want a nice person to share nice things from each others' countries with. Is that so much to ask?
Like the video, too, by the way—copious amounts of mood squares, and Mr. Tuttle himself. Handsome devil. Great haircut. Yeah. So Mr. Tuttle… how 'bout it?
Foxy Digitalis (USA)
October 2011
Another unexpected musical surprise, in a year that has been plentiful of them. This album is the work of an Australian musician named Andrew Tuttle, who combines acoustic guitar playing with digital processing and electronics. That description alone may not sound incredibly unique to some of you, but what he does on this album is certainly in a league of its own. First off, the guitar playing here is absolutely stunning; he's obviously an incredibly accomplished guitar player, channeling all of the American Primitive heroes, particularly on opener "Federation" and closer "Exitarchy". Although, the liner notes credit Cornel Wilczek with acoustic guitar as well, so he is to thank for some of the guitar goodness as well. As far as the electronics, there are plenty of things happening; tremolo-heavy synth and organ washes, as on "Federation". Vintage analogue drum machine pulse, as on "Demarchy". Laptop fizzing and mutating the guitar tones on "Minarchism". Glitch detailing and enhancing (not obscuring or abstracting) the guitar playing in "Meritocracy". And "Plutocracy" is a 9-minute minimalist phasing odyssey. "Plutarchy" is probably the oddest track here, burying any acoustic sounds under sludge and pounding the life out of them.
Even when altered by effects, there is a clear contrast between the acoustic guitar and the electronics. The guitars are melodic and musical. Yet they fit so naturally with the electronics, which are heavily detailed without being glitch overload. This is just an incredibly lovely album, and certainly challenges the possibilities of how modern electronics and acoustic instruments can be combined, while steering far clear of any "folktronica" cliches.
Ear Influxion (USA)
October 2011
I picked this one up on a whim from a few clips I heard, knowing very little about it otherwise. It turns out it makes for great morning music, as my first several plays have happened during that time of day. It has a playful lightness and feels approachable, despite being on the outskirts of post-rock or pop. To me it recalls the pastoral quality of some of Morr Music's early less beat-focused albums by Isan or Múm. The contrast of acoustic instruments against signal processing or digital manipulation is nothing new; laptop musicians have been exploiting this convenient contrast for as long as software's permitted them to do so. As an example, Part-Timer is another act who's released full albums of instrumental music along these lines, while there are other acts like Empress or Bibio taking the idea and moving it into songs and more varied territory. But there's something truly special about what Andrew Tuttle's done with these rather concise 7 tracks, a mood and feeling the music evokes that rises it above mere comparison to other like-minded artists. The song titles of Anontendre play on words and politics ("Demarchy," "Minarchism," "Exilarchy," as examples), but the music itself feels somewhat impartial. There's a cozy elegance to his pieces, never falling too far on one side of the contrast, combining sometimes sweet, melodic acoustic guitar and piano against overtones and drones and abstractions of sound. Only "Meritocracy" seems to fall more fully into folk music territory, sounding more akin to David Pajo than Mego, but pieces like "Plutocracy" and "Federation" boast a much healthier abstraction from the source, providing the necessary contrast to make Anontendre lively and interesting.
Textura (Canada)
October 2011
Anontendre, Andrew Tuttle's third Anonymeye full-length, is admirably direct: not only is each of its seven titles one word in length, the album as a whole weighs in at a lean thirty-two minutes. All that does, however, is leave the listener wanting more, not less of the Brisbane composer's electro-acoustic settings by the time the final, magnificently galloping note of "Exilarchy" sounds. Something's definitely afoot in the politically toned song titles—"Meritocracy," "Plutocracy," "Plutarchy," et al.—but no one need get too worked up about any underlying power-based theme, one way or the other, given that the material's purely instrumental. Working with acoustic guitar, synthesizer, electronics, organ, piano, harmonica, and signal processing, Tuttle's helped out on a couple of tracks by Cornel Wilczek who adds his own acoustic guitar and electronics to the mix.
What clearly identifies the material as Anonymeye is the meeting between analog and digital worlds: acoustic folk, in the form of picking, strums, and tremolo-laden shudder, and kosmische psychedelia, in the form of synthesizer burble that flows constantly through Tuttle's tracks. Combining the two in the way he does results in an arresting listening experience that finds one's attention rapidly flickering from one piece to the next. In some cases, one of the styles dominates, such as when "Meritocracy" alternates between reflective strums and jaunty picking episodes, with Tuttle's guitar accompanied discreetly by piano; in other cases, both appear, as when the sparse pluck of an acoustic guitar warms shimmering cosmic swirls of synthesizer chords in "Federation." A veritable epic by the album's standards, "Plutocracy" puts its nine minutes to use in the form of an extended drone exploration whose motor at one point slowly winds down, thereby triggering shuddering whorls of electronics to spin into the sky until they too reach a woozy state of immobility. Yes, there's tension in play—between the analog and digital realms and the acoustic and electronic sounds—but the tracks themselves offer more of a peaceful resolution between all such elements as opposed to oil-and-water conflict.
Twiceremoved (Australia)
September 2011
Anonymeye is the name used by Brisbane artist Andrew Tuttle and his latest "Anontendre" is his third full length after "Anonymeye Hotel (Half Theory) and "The Disambugation of Anonymeye" (Sound & Fury). The album for me is a little bit more experimental than the other releases he has put out and does require more time for it to sink in. But, this is a good thing as the longer you listen, the more that is revealed.
This is what the label said of the release: "Loosely, Anonymeye's music could be described as an Anonymocracy – where tensions previously held between assumed rival factions such as acoustics and electronics, improvisation and composition, dissonance and melody are recognised and explored, but eventually heading towards a resolution that is part utopian and part redemption."
The album starts with "Federation" which starts with sharp shimmering drones, passages of what sounds like ambient synth before entering the territory that Anonymeye has mapped successfully – the acoustic, almost folky guitar. "Federation" and the final track "Exilarchy" are almost book ends to the album in more ways than just being the first in last tracks, they are almost cut from the same cloth. The tracks that come after "Federation" and before "Exilarchy" map various territory such as Drone, Glitch, Field Recording, etc… the most experimental pieces that have heard from Anonymeye are on the tracks "Plutocracy" and "Plutarchy". Both sound his most electronic and sound like a system of machines braking down. "Demarchy" is a track that is bright and shimmery with waves of ambience and minimal percussion (something that you don't really associate with Anonymeye). "Meritocracy" is the most glitchy of the tracks before going into the folky finger picking territory. This is what makes Anonymeye stand out in the field of guitar and lap top artists – it gives him his signature sound and shows that he is proficient with the instrument rather than just using as a drone/shoe gaze style accompaniment. The highlight track for me is "Exilarchy" and it's no surprise that it has been on RTRFM's "Out to Lunch" playlist. It's a great guitar work out, lots of picking which then has a great deep bass drone undercutting it before venturing into electric territory and it sounds fantastic, A great way to end an impressive album.

ANONYMEYE – ANONTENDRE (CD by Someone Good)
Many years ago I saw Andrew Tuttle play in Extrapool, alongside with Kunt, and it was one of those evenings which were nice, perhaps not entirely for the quality of the music, but just a lovely winter evening with nice people and fine music. I have no idea why I remembered that. I wrote that before, in Vital Weekly 684, when I reviewed Andrew Tuttle's Anonymeye CDR. That was recorded on a bunch of ancient synthesizers locked at away Rotterdam's CEM/Worm studios, which was interesting since Tuttle is mainly a guitarist, as he proofs here on a more 'serious' release for Room40's pop label Someone Good. He plays acoustic guitar, along with signal processing, synthesizer, electronics, harmonica, organ and piano. Its all instrumental music, and its perhaps the first time I heard a pop-like album being described like this: "Anonymocracy – where tensions previously held between assumed rival factions such as acoustics and electronics, improvisation and composition, dissonance and melody are recognized and explored, but eventually heading towards a resolution that is part utopian and part redemption." Now just like these words, 'pop' is also strange word, and to many who like 'pop' music this would hardly qualify as pop music, but I understand this label's point. Anonymeye plays some very nice tunes on his guitar which are supported by the other instruments. Hyper psychedelic drones in the opening of 'Federation', but then the guitar drops in, breezing like fresh air. Two of the seven pieces may not fit in here, both of which are recorded with Cornel Wilczek, and which are pretty extreme compared to the rest of this album. I am not sure why they are included, as they fall quite beside the others. For those others you think John Fahey meets glitch in 'Minarchism', which is, along with 'Meritocracy', the highlight of the CD. Maybe its a bit out of balance due to the two more experimental pieces, but hey, what do I care? I am no pop man, so I can state: this is a great CD.
Norman Records (United Kingdom)
August 2011
rating: 4* (recommended release)
This is nice. A new CD from Australia's Andrew Tuttle, AKA Anonymeye, here on his third release. It's bang up my alley as far as this kind of semi-ambient stuff goes. There's certainly elements of melody contained on this here disc but it's not pop as we know it. He uses a mixture of organic and electronic instrumentation to build up his relaxing tone sculptures. Vibe-wise the synth bits are kind of reminding me of Food Pyramid or something, but there's always that interplay between those and the organic instruments which is satisfying, and the melodic focal point is generally the guitar. Phil thinks some of it's a bit like Spacemen 3's dronier stuff. Pretty blissed out stuff anyway. The material on this album seems to vary from quite complex and melodic fingerpicked guitar to fairly minimal drone. It's constantly evolving and never really grating. I like it.
The Chocolate Pudding Cup (USA)
August 2011
Anontendre is Anonymeye's third full-length release and it's a cosmic mixture of electronic experimentation and soft, gentle folk. And though a combination of those two sounds isn't completely unheard of, this quick half-hour of an album is something delightfully fresh. Andrew Tuttle, the man behind Anonymeye, freely released a live compilation album earlier this year and two of the new tracks from there translate wonderfully here as studio recordings. With a listen to Anontendre, it's clear that Tuttle's return is a confident one – he's expanded and refined ideas from 2009's The Disambiguation of Anonymeye and created a more accessible and enjoyable batch of songs.
There are some tracks on Anontendre that heavily prefer either electronic or acoustic instrumentation over the other but opener "Federation" finds a perfect balance of both worlds. A third into the song, acoustic guitars get comfortable in the mix and contrast the constantly shifting synths to embody a free flowing spirit within some sort of song structure. Other tracks find harmony in both means of instrumental expression as well. "Minarchism" brilliantly unites the natural with the alien as steel strings are plucked alongside warped and otherworldly noises. It's strange and fascinating at the same time, and the way Tuttle is able to create such a cohesive bond between both mediums is extremely impressive.
Though Tuttle is clearly capable of making his various instruments compliment each other, he sets aside moments for each to shine on their own. "Meritocracy" houses a lovely guitar and piano serenade while "Exilarchy" is a dreamy closing peace filled with classic fingerpicking and electric guitar flourishes. On the electronic side of things, the creepy "Plutarchy" is filled with terrifying sounds. The drums sound like a monster trying to escape and near the end of the song, there comes a point where it sounds like a marble is rolling down a table in your brain (give it a listen and you'll know what I mean). And even when listening to the abstract, nine minute "Plutocracy," there's a subtle beauty to its minimal progression and it's all evidence of Tuttle's talents.
I can't say I know too much about anything that's happening in Australia currently in regards to music, but I'm quite surprised to hear something so incredible come out of a country that hasn't offered too much excellent music historically (at least, that I've found). Anontendre is easily the best Anonymeye release so far and as long as Tuttle keeps making music as creative and cohesive as this, the rest of the world is sure to notice.
The Thousands (Australia)
August 2011
The only thing Andrew Tuttle loves more than a good pun, banjo's, Australiana and letting his life in East Berlin come through in his recordings is commitment to his very particular musical aesthetic. His brand of Electro-folk long moved away from simple sampling, to a highly structured arrangement of field recordings, grabs from copyright free materials and Tuttle's own brand of looped country-influenced guitar.
Anonymeye's latest release, Anontendre is an aural equivalent of snow falling on cedars, or an examination of pastel hued fractal patterns coming at you from all angles. Not as beat-driven as previous efforts, Anontendre is bumbling and, at times, corrosive. Cornel Wilczek (aka. Qua) also makes a guest appearance on the album, in the spirit of all that is collaborative.
Anontendre is a record that Warp would love to release, were it typically Australian in the sense of road trips singing Acca Dacca a cappella (which he has been known to do), op shopping and taking the wide open road and shortening it into 31 minutes of subtle glitched out electro-wave. This is music to do some serious contemplating to.
Boomkat (United Kingdom)
August 2011
recommended release
'Anontendre' is the third album of tender folk/electronic fusions from Australian, Andrew Tuttle aka Anonymeye. Crafted with steel string guitar, banjo, analog synth and computer, the Anonymeye sound meshes the organic and the electronic in a confluence of improvised and meticulously composed techniques. The results are a set of charming, shimmering sonic contradictions.
4ZZZ FM (Australia)
August 2011
Brisbane's Anonymeye A.K.A. Andrew Tuttle has been making it his business to create gorgeous, experimental music, and on album number three, this bad-ass trend continue. This latest offering Anontendre, sees Tuttle create luscious instrumental music, centred around a backbone of acoustic guitar & banjo, set in a haze of analog synths and subtle electronic flourishes. Tuttle has certainly grown into a great big beautifully & musically adept butterfly recently, coming a long way from those early years making unashamedly brash, casio-fuelled, electro pop with Brisbane skuzz duo – the now presumably defunct – Molliger. The track I've chosen, Federation is the opening cut from the record and is a pretty darn good indication of what you can expect from the rest, it's very much mood music to lose yourself in. Background music for the front of your mind, the soundtrack to a life so wonderful you can only stand-back and watch in awe. So put on those big ol' cans, slide yourself down into a comfy chair and melt into the good vibrations.

April 06, 2018, anysilicon
This interview was help with Stefano Perticaroli, Ph.D. Eng., CEO at Radio Analog Micro Electronics srl.
Tell me a bit about your background? How did you first get started with Radio Analog Micro Electronics?
I completed my Ph.D in Electronics Engineering at DIET Sapienza Università di Roma in 2011 at age 29. I started to get in touch with microelectronics industry as a Ph.D. visiting student in companies, mainly in Europe. I stayed still for a couple of years at Sapienza as a PostDoc research fellow for completing my researches but I had clear in mind the perspective to find my own way. Finally in September 2014 I cofunded Radio Analog Micro Electronics srl, an innovative start-up company in the framework of the italian start-up law.
Tell me about Radio Analog Micro Electronics?
Radio Analog Micro Electronics srl, RAME in short, has the mission to represent the state of the art in microelectronics design in specific application fields. We constantly pursue innovation both at circuital as well as at system level. We own patents in RF circuits and TLC protocols, and more recently we submitted patents in PMICs application. I believe that promoting actively efforts in innovation it's the real thing that matters for increasing the 'added value' of a start-up company.
When did you start Radio Analog Micro Electronics? What were you doing before that?
My research topics concerned the RF synthesizers theory and evaluation of dynamical properties of coupled oscillators systems. Further I followed and co-developed a MW structure for electrical conductivity sensing of nano-structured surfaces. In addition I designed a capacitive based sensor for low dielectric constant liquid gauging. Finally I co-developed the code for the PSS analysis in the NGSpice open-source project. Summarizing my personal background is in RF both in technological as well as in system level development.
How was the role/offering of Radio Analog Micro Electronics changed during the recent years?
The role of RAME srl is changing. We started as a contracting company and as a provider of sub-blocks for SoCs. Now we're committed to implementation of more complex parts of systems, targeting to desgin the overall ASIC.
Did any of the market consolidation (or acquisition) affected your business and how?
At the moment we have no consolidation neither acquisition planned, we're still growing and gathering expertises, then we're in expansion phase rather than in a consolidation phase.
Which market segment seems promising to you? And why?
About 2/3 of our projects were in RF applications for Mobile & Telecommunication infrastructure Market and the remaining part was about the Internet of Things (IoT) related projects. In last year, we were approached also by a huge request of crypt-currency ASIC miners. My opinion is that a market is important in perspective related to what a company aim to to reach. The RAME perspective is to develop specific competences that, consequently, will allow our customers to assemble their system with even more capabilities and features.
Customers are focused on time-to-market, first-time-right, price, etc. Do you see a change in customer behavior in recent years? Where is the focus today and why?
Customers are even more focused on time-to-market. Actually most of the projects are due on six months, that is a very challenging short time to begin, develop and finalize projects.
What are the 3 top things you wish your customers would do better (or different)?
For sure the first thing is a better "framing" of specifications they require for their applications. Obviously we support our customers in this process. Further the way the effective costs for the implementation are defined: they depend obviously on the complexity of the required application but also on the role played by development in the company perspective.
Are you currently hiring? What type of jobs?
We look quite constantly at engineers, possibly with Ph.D degree.
What is your #1 advice for people who want want to work for Radio Analog Micro Electronics?
Here at RAME srl resources must have several skills in the ASIC design flow, possibly sharing a general background and an adequate experience on the microelectronics subject. Learning attitude is positively evaluated.
Where can one find more information?
You can visit us at www.ramesrl.it, follow us on LinkedIn or Twitter.
What is the best moment in your day?
Well, it depends. In general is the moment after I accomplished many mandatory tasks and I finally get time to think to future projects or to help team members to finalize current on-going projects.
How do you keep yourself energized and engaged during the day?
I listen to music with headphones when I'm not related to team activities or meetings. Music helps me to keep focused on the task I'm working on.
What is your preferred lunch discussion topic?
We usually talk about the private side of each resources, let's say all kind of arguments off of jobs we're running.
How do you spend your time outside working hours?
Mainly with my family, I have two wonderful daughters. Further I'm amateur cyclist, as soon as I can I go for a ride to the lake area around Rome.

To listen is an act of love. It is not love that creates listening, but listening that creates love. Or rather reveals it. When we truly listen, the deep relationship that already exists begins to emerge.
We accept that stillness and silence are states that elude us. The difficulties in coming to such states are familiar to all. Trouble begins when our mind tells the body to sit still. The body's wish to move creates anxiety, which we try to repress by an act of will perhaps. We try to will calm and quiet, but then the mind races away, and the circle begins, over and over again. If this goes on long enough, we either abandon the attempt altogether, or look in earnest for a way off the hamster wheel.
This is not a new malady. John Donne, sixteenth-century poet and dean of St. Paul's Cathedral, London, wrote:
"I throw myself down in my chamber, and I call in, and invite God, and his angels thither, and when they are there, I neglect God and his angels, for the noise of a fly, for the ratting of a coach, for the whining of a door…and if God or his angels should ask me, when I last thought of God in that prayer, I cannot tell.
Sometimes I find that I had forgot what I was about, but when I began to forget it, I cannot tell…an any thing, a nothing, a fancy, a chimera in my brain, troubles me in my prayer."
So a collected state is elusive, and we don't seem to find a direct path to it on our own. But we all assume that more or less we know how to listen, and can listen when we decide to do so. When approaching the Lord's Prayer with the intention of listening, for example, it becomes important to consider what listening asks of us.
Listening is a simple act, as in a "simple receptivity." This receptivity reflects a state of being gathered together, body, feeling, mind. This "gathering together" has to begin somewhere, and it does not begin in the mind. The mind can note the desire but is powerless to satisfy it. It can remind us to begin, but then we have to say, 'thanks," and ask it to wait in the wings.
For where listening begins, whether listening in prayer, or listening to a friend in distress, is the body. The body is present, when the rest of us is not. The mind can be lost in anticipation, or regret. But even if it is restless when we turn to it, the body is present. And when we begin to attend to it, it receives this attention by relaxing, by giving way, as though it welcomes the attention, was starved for it. Slowly the sensation of the weight of our body seated on a chair, feet on the ground, the sensation of the breath, passing in, and out, is established.
To listen is more than not speaking. All of me must be available, and the body is where this state of being available begins. From there, remaining in touch with sensation and breathing, it is possible to see impulses from mind and feeling that disrupt listening. From the vantage point of the body, we can see the necessity of a quiet mind and quiet feeling in order to hear. The "I" has to give way, to surrender its opinions, desires, its being certain of knowing what to do and how to do it. In this way a space is created, and the needed silence. We understand silence is needed, and we understand why.
Learning to listen is not a technique, though it requires effort, and practice. We see that we are asked to remain quiet because without this quiet we cannot receive what is being offered. In order listen, we must be vigilant, and here the mind can play its proper role, watching, alert to what pulls us away. The feeling is called, not in reaction, but in support. This effort to listen is an effort that can be undertaken outside the time of prayer as well as within it.
When we approach listening to the Lord's Prayer, to begin is always to begin anew. It can feel each time like stepping off a cliff into the unknown. Hans Urs von Balthasar has written, "The word of God can require something of me today that it did not require yesterday; this mean that, if I am to hear this challenge, I must be fundamentally open and listening. It is true that no relationship is more intimate, more rooted in being than that between the recipient of grace and the grace-giving Lord…"

Hong Kong taxes are among the lowest in the world, and our tax regime is simple and predictable. Hong Kong sourced income can be taxed in three ways, Profits Tax, Salaries Tax and Property Tax.
1 Different Tax Return between limited & unlimited company
1) Audit: the audit by CPA is not required for the unlimited company;
Limited company should first prepare for the account bills and carry out audit before tax return.
2) Profit Tax Rate: for the year of assessment 2005/06
limited company: 16.5%
unlimited company: 16%
2 How to judge whether company can carry out zero tax return
In HK the company which don't carry out business can declare zero tax directly. Therefore it is extremely important to judge whether the company has operation in Hong Kong.
In principle, if the company accords with one of the following aspects, it is considered to carry out business.
1) Bank account has the record of operation;
2) Custom and logistic company have the record of export and import;
3) Having business with HK merchant;
4)Employing staff in HK;
5) Allowance and authorization of using trademark, patent design in HK;
6) Allowance and authorization of collecting chattel rent fee in HK;
7) Entrust to sell products in HK;
8) Other profits arising in or derived from HK.
3 The mode for tax return
If the company have not business actually, they can carry out zero tax return; if the unlimited company have some operations, they should first work up account and then carry out tax return; if the limited company has normal business operation ,they should work up account, audit by the certified public accountant (CPA) and then tax return
4 Zero Tax Return
If the company don't carry out business in the financial year, this company can directly carry out zero tax return. The new established company will received the profit tax return from the HK Inland Revenue Department after 18th months. And zero tax return must carry out in the following one month after receiving the profit tax return. The standard fee is 800 HKD.
The procedures are as follows:
Receive the profit tax return→shareholders to confirm & sign→pay the money→apply for tax return from Inland Revenue Department→finish and inform the customer.
5 Financial year & Tax return schedule
Financial year is usually 12 months, but a new established company is 18 months. The time of tax annual return is in the first month after the financial year. If the company can't carry out tax return on time, the application of postpone in the available period is necessary.
6 Documents required
1) Preparation for the account return
The company should prepare for the account data once it carry out business and divide all the bills into sale, cost and expenditure. The Hong Kong government acknowledge all the invoice(which can be made by yourself), receipt and note signed and sealed by the company.
2) Documents required
① bank statement & bank details;
② Sales bill: invoice and contract;
③ Cost bill: invoice and contract;
④ Expenditure bill: salary, freight and rent(The lease or agreement is required) etc.;
⑤ The other relevant document: two copies of Article of Association, annual return form, all the alteration documents(if have), fixed assets bill and investment document.
7 Procedure
Sign the agreement→pay the earnest money→classify the bill→finish the account return→pay the spare money→audit by the auditor→return the audit report to shareholders to sign→CPA submit the audit report to government for tax return→return the relevant document to customer.
8.Keeping business records
All company registered in Hong Kong are required to keep sufficient records of their income and expenditure to enable their assessable profits to be readily ascertained. There are statutory requirements to retain the account book for at least 7 years after the date of the transaction to which they relate.

Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs), are used to treat a variety of cancers including non-small cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC). Lung cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide, with more than 1.7 million deaths annually. Response to TKIs in lung cancer can be subdivided into two groups. The first group includes patients carrying sensitizing EGFR mutations in their tumors and TKIs treatment can initially be very successful. Unfortunately, these patients will develop resistance within 10 to 14 months of treatment. The second group of patients accounting for approximately 10% of all cases of EGFR mutations (Yasuda et al., 2013) or 30,000 cases/year, presents primary mutations in EGFR that do not respond to treatment with TKIs. As of today there are no approved treatment for this latter group of patients, representing a very strong unmet need. Our goal is to develop a treatment to patients carrying EGFR TKI-insensitive mutations.
The Technology
The structure of EGFR has been previously published, with over 100 available structures. Using molecular dynamics simulations and quantum mechanical methods, small molecules (NCE) and cyclic-peptides will be employed to achieve our goal of designing novel molecules for inhibiting the TK domain of insensitive mutated EGFR. Additionally, will be tested alternative technologies for inhibiting specific EGFR mutated protein such as antisense which directly targeted the mutations.
- There is currently no approved medication for this population.
- Prof. Peled is key opinion leader in Lung cancer with a deep understanding of the medical needs, scientific aspects of the technology and access to both patients and biopharma collaborators.
Patent Status
Provisional patent No. 63/012,522 filed April 20, 2020
Principal Investigator
Prof. Nir Peled, MD, PhD, NIBN, the Faculty of Health Sciences, Ben-Gurion University of the Negev and Head, Oncology Division, Soroka Medical Center, Beer Sheva, Israel

here will not be satisfied unless Floyd and his brigade are called into service at once. Look at the position. We are here exposed to attack from the Ohio frontier. The path-finder (Fremont) is specially assigned to our subjugation. We are probably more unanimous for the Confederacy and for Jeff. Davis than any other region. We have among us a man who before the war began did more than any other man to prepare the South (materially) for the coming contest. He went heartily, bravely, and energetically into the war. No man but Price, who had no military experience,has equaled him in achievement or ability. His courage, energy, and ability are unsurpassed except by our greatest generals. He has a local knowledge of the seat of war in Western Virginia beyond that of all other living men. Jo. Johnston alone approaches him in this respect among our prominent generals and for the same cause. Like him, he is familiar with the country from his childhood. By the by, in my opinion, a mountaineer chiefly, beyond all men except inspired military geniuses is qualified to conduct a war in mountains. I am persuaded that the men who have charge of our operations here are unfit for them. I mean Marshall and Heth.
They may be good soldiers and brave men. They don't know mountain warfare. I could expound matters on this theme, but I need not argue it to you. Floyd does understand this country, and knows how to defend it. Above all, the country believes in him and desires him to be intrusted with its defense. It will rally under him as it will rally under no other man who is likely to be sent here. Jo. Johnston or Beauregard could alone command the same confidence (or more).
The exigency is pressing. We can't wait for a Congressional inquiry. Congress has adjourned. The war will be decided before it meets again.
If Floyd's brigade is to operate in this war, if this region is to put forth its strength heartily, the Government must act promptly. There is but one sentiment here.
[Inclosure Numbers 2.]
RICHMOND, May 10, 1862
DEAR SIR: Judge McComas, Judge Ward, Judge Camden, and myself were deputed by the citizens of Southwestern Virginia to make an effort in some form to get General Floyd restored to his command. We have a terrible state of things in the Southwest, arising from two causes: First, the suspension of Floyd from the command; secondly
the conduct of Jenifer, retreating in advance of his regiment from Mercer County. Our country was in a perfect panic when I left home last Thursday. Colonel Wharton, in whom every one has confidence, is in camp at Wytheville, reorganizing the forces of Floyd's old brigade with the new recruits, and is succeeding very well, provided he can get the arms, which he has partially succeeded in doing. He will have a force of 1,500 if he can procure the arms.
My dear, sir, I know the fact that the suspension of Floyed from his command has tended more than anything else that has occurred since the commencement of the war to demoralize the troops of Southwestern Virginia. His restoration will reunite them, and they will forthwith go to their work with a spirit and a fixed resolve to do their whole

The National Association of Nigerian Students (NANS) has called on the Ogun State Governor, Prince Dapo Abiodun to carry out thorough assessment on all Model Schools built by his predecessors, Senator Ibikunle Amosun, advising him to pull down all the weak ones to prevent collapse of buildings and death of would-be students and staff in any of the schools.
The NANS National Public Relations Officer, Adeyemi Azeez, who made the call at a press conference held in Abeokuta, the Ogun State capital, alleged that the students body 's investigation on the abandoned schools by the Amosun administration revealed that materials were rationed during the construction of the project, adding that most of the will of the abandoned structures had cracked.
His words, "Our attention has been drawn to some uncompleted model schools in Ogun state, built by the former administration of Governor Ibikunle Amosun, scattered across the state, some of which are now very weak after it has suffered abandonment and dubious construction materials rationing from the same government which initiated their building".
"We request that a thorough check is carried out on this structures as we advise the state government to pull down the weak ones as a matter of urgency because we won't wait for it to collapse and kill any of our students", Adeyemi said.
"If a house that was built about seven years ago could now be up for demolition as a result of its weakness, then there is a need for a complete probe of the materials used in building such structures and how much was expended on same structures".
It would be recalled that Governor Abiodun last week at the town hall meeting on the 2020 Budget announced the government's resolve to demolish the Model School at Ilaro because of structural defect
The students' body suggested that "any of these structures found lacking quality materials should be named after Gov. Ibikunle Amosun before it is finally pulled down, as the same thing should be done to other heartless leaders in the country who have prioritised selfish gains to quality and human lives".
Speaking on the request by the governors of Ogun (Dapo Abiodun) and Lagos States (Sanwo-Olu) to reconstructed three federal roads within their territory, Adeyemi said "Our association has found it important to appeal to the federal government to give in to the willingness of government of both Ogun and Lagos state to reconstruct the Ikorodu-Sagamu, Epe-Ijebu-Ode and Lagos-Abeokuta expressway roads and considerably toll these roads".
"Obviously, the above-named roads are currently in a 'sorry' state and won't be libellous to call them death traps".
He added that "considering the hardship which citizens plying that roads are subjected to, we think it is imperative for the federal government to release these roads to the states that are willing to repair at all means as far as it won't increase the sufferings of the people, instead, it will reduce it".
"It will be shocking to know that we have lost more than twelve students through these trunks-A roads to road crashes for various causes in the last three years. Hence, if considerably tolling these roads will end the killings and pains of the people on these roads, let it be so".
"In the quest to make life easy for motorists and not reduce their life span through traffic logjam, Nigerians don't mind paying a token to experience a better life in travelling on the aforementioned roads", he emphasized.
"Our most recent horrible experience in the students' constituency was an accident where a container fell of it carrier on a bus conveying our students and immediately kill four of them, all in the name of bad roads."
"In putting a stop to this, we appeal to the federal government to please repair these roads as a matter of urgency or release them to Lagos and Ogun states".

A Message of Hope, Part 1: Achieving "Covidya"
Avidya is a Buddhist concept that describes a kind of ignorance that stems from an inability to see the nature of reality. The word "vidya" is the root of our word "video", and comes from ancient Sanskrit meaning "to see" – hence avidya is "not seeing the reality of things". (Putting an "a" in front of a word makes it the opposite, like atypical or atonal). I believe that it's possible that COVID may have a beneficial side effect, to bring humanity into a state of "covidya" – the capacity to more clearly see the reality of things… together.
To understand the big picture, take with me a journey back in time, way back to the Cambrian explosion 500 million years ago… when we were single cells trying to figure out how to evolve into multi-cellular organisms. This particular process of advancing to the next stage of evolution, called coadunation, required learning how to work together. In my forthcoming book, "Coadunation: The Emergence of the Global Brain," I propose that the very first requirement for the coming coadunation of human consciousness is learning how to see reality clearly collectively.

Human adaptation to biodiversity change: Building and testing concepts, methods, and tools for understanding and supporting autonomous adaptation
Biodiversity change directly threatens the livelihoods, food security, and cultural and ecological integrity of rural subsistence-oriented households across the developing world. People will be forced to respond in ways that either mitigate or exacerbate the loss of biodiversity and ecosystem services.
An unprecedented extinction of species is underway, and climate change is affecting species' range and phenology (the timing of their life cycle events), leading to new species configurations that affect ecosystem services in unpredictable ways. With growth in human population and consumption driving climate change and continued habitat alteration, 'novel' ecosystems will become even more prevalent.
There is a dearth of scientific research on the subject of human adaptation to biodiversity change, so scientists and policy-makers lack mandates, conceptual frameworks, knowledge, and tools to project or predict human responses and their actual or potential outcomes, synergies, and feedbacks.
Indeed, "A significant new research effort is required to encourage decision makers to consider biodiversity, climate change and human livelihoods together" (Royal Society 2007). At the same time, there is a call for a 'paradigm shift' in adaptation thinking away from top-down planning and toward supporting local adaptation. Local adaptation efforts go unnoticed, uncoordinated, and unaided by outsiders and, unless policy-makers become aware of the importance and extent of autonomous adaptation processes and understand what influences their outcomes, adaptation and mitigation policies may be ineffective or counter-productive.
This project aimed to kick start the development of appropriate conceptual frameworks, methods and integrated models for understanding human adaptation to changes in biodiversity and related ecosystem services that can eventually be used to predict outcomes for biodiversity, ecosystem services and human wellbeing in highly biodiversity-dependent societies, and provide evidence for the utility of these outputs to a new network of researchers and policy-makers.
The building blocks for development of concepts, methods, tools and models were: 1. local information or knowledge systems and monitoring capacity; 2. local valuation of biodiversity and related ecosystem services; 3. integrating biological resources and ecosystem services into an understanding of livelihood processes; 4. assessing perceptions, risks, needs, and ability to respond; 5. understanding biological and welfare outcomes and feedbacks.
The project joined partners from anthropology, economics and ecology/biology at Oxford, Kent and The University of London's School of Oriental and African Studies, with partners from South Africa and India. Partners jointly elaborated the conceptual framework in a first intensive workshop using a scenario building protocol. Then, teams incrementally developed and evaluated research protocols and methods and collected primary data in a field research site in the Western Ghats, and modelled initial results.
A second workshop revised the scenarios and prepared a second field data collection phase. This iteration permitted further grounding of the conceptual framework and methods, and development and testing of a stronger, less aggregative model based on much better decisions about how different variables interact. After the second field research phase, the team revised the scenarios and integrated analysis and modelling of the data. They identified variables, variable sets, or system state indicators that are useful for monitoring biodiversity, ecosystem services and human wellbeing with biodiversity/ecosystem change.
