Serious Payments.php reciprocal issue - ronwong - 12-10-2012
I am repeating this from nabbles, but I think this is a serious flaw that needs to be fixed for anyone that has foreign currency suppliers.
for a simple transaction, my base currency is SGD, so rate is 1SGD to 0.623926
the account payable in USD is 1579.78 and the chequing account DR 2532, the 2 extra lines below of exchange difference is due to it reciprocating the wrong way, causing a big difference.
03/09/2012 September 2012 Accounts Payable - 1,579.78 03/09/2012 September 2012 Cheque Accounts 2,532.00
03/09/2012 September 2012 Purchases Exchange Gains/Losses 911.60 Exch diff
03/09/2012 September 2012 Accounts Payable - 1,579.78 Exch Diff
Total 3,443.60 3,443.60
Earlier, exsonQu, you sent a "patch" file, but it will show something if posting the same entries like:
03/09/2012 September 2012 Accounts Payable - 1,579.78 03/09/2012 September 2012 Cheque Accounts 5,064.00
Total 1,579.78 1,579.78
so it seems correct, but there are still some strange numbers.
it is only the payment.php, posting the forex invoices are fine, just paying them will screw it up.
RE: Serious Payments.php reciprocal issue - phil - 12-10-2012
Sorry I don't really follow Ron - perhaps the formatting is lost somehow. Could you explain to me how to repeat the issue you are seeing?
RE: Serious Payments.php reciprocal issue - ronwong - 12-11-2012
In the above example, my erp is set is sgd, i have a supplier who is set in usd. When i enter a supplier invoice is is shown in usd, and there is a rate locked in back to base currency. All these are ok. So the above my usd suppliier invoice values usd1579.78
The problem comes when i make payment with payment.php to this supplier from my sgd account. By right, if i choose the same ex rate, for example above 0.623926 for invoice and payment, there is no ex diff gain or loss and the payment leg should go in as usd1579.98 and my cash account should dr sgd2532, but it somehow consistently will post a ricipocal and fill up the rest as a exchange difference.
RE: Serious Payments.php reciprocal issue - phil - 12-11-2012
It is a key assumption (and in the manual) that currency values must be expressed as the number of the foreign currency to purchase one of the local currency. So my understanding of the SGD - is that it is worth around 0.8184 USD - this is the rate you should have for USD in your system. If you have a rate of 1.2218 USD = 1 SGD then this will be the cause of the problem.
As you say a very serious flaw indeed. I will go and test.
RE: Serious Payments.php reciprocal issue - ronwong - 12-11-2012
i know... my rates at all places are 1SGD = 0.8xxxx USD, so all the numbers are 0.8xxxx
I have double checked that previously as you highlighted it in October when I first brought out the issue. Now, I entered all the foreign currency supplier invoices all ok but holding back all the payments, because each payment I enter screw up the GL big time.
RE: Serious Payments.php reciprocal issue - PakRicard - 12-11-2012
We use multicurrency daily with suppliers and did not find this issue, funny.
Which webERP version are you using?
RE: Serious Payments.php reciprocal issue - ronwong - 12-11-2012
I am using latest version. Is your base currency USD? is there any one not using USD as base currency?
Can I post out one example which I post
see below: My base is SGD, and I enter an invoice in MYR, 1SGD = 2.5MYR so I usually key in 2.5xxx where need to:
This is a supplier expense of MYR95.64, and it converts to SGD39.25 so exchange rate is 2.4366879
To keep it simple I will use this rate for invoice entry as well as payment so there should be NO exchange diff.
The first 2 lines were posted by ERP, showing 233.04 in accounts payable, which can be derived as MYR95.64 X 2.4366879, (WHY??), MYR95.64 / 2.4366879 = SGD39.25 which is what we need. The cash on hand side is correct! so it does NOT balance already.
The other 4 lines, 2 lines came in when I allocate the payment, and the other 2 is when I see the ex diff, I reverse the payment.
This allocation page shows it used 0.41039xxx (WHY?) didn't we put it as 2.4366879??
The Purchase invoice is perfect, as above, its just the payment and allocation that is giving all the problems...
In another Invoice and payment where my supplier invoice is USD, my ERP base currency is SGD, but I have another USD account, and I use that account to pay that invoice:
The USD value us 467 and converted to SGD is 570.48. The first 2 entries came in with the payment, ok, fine, GL displayed in base currency, when I allocate the payment, the other 2 lines comes in, are these looking fine? they don't look like they are displaying correctly to me even though they seems to be balanced.
Accounts Payable - 570.48 EXPRESSOA-Paypal No
Special Accounts 570.48 EXPRESSOA-Paypal No
Purchases Exchange Gains/Losses 0.00 Exch diff No
Accounts Payable - -570.48 Exch Diff No
Total 570.48 570.48

The Santa Monica-Malibu Unified School District Board of Education will have at least one new member by the end of this year after five challengers vie against three incumbents for four seats on the school board in the Nov. 2 election.
The eight candidates, which include only one woman, are seeking four-year terms as the school district awaits possible additional funding as part of an advisory measure on the same ballot. The district budget has been one of the issues at the forefront of the race following a school year in which the board was forced to issue layoff notices and make program cuts, something some incumbent candidates have described during the campaign as one of their most difficult decisions.
Through a combination of money from a school fundraising campaign and a federal education jobs bill, the school board voted in August to restore the staff positions cut earlier in the year. The budget was among the topics discussed by the candidates in a forum held early this month.
The three incumbents seeking re-election include board president Barry Snell, Ralph Mechur and Oscar de la Torre. Board Vice President Kelly Pye chose not to seek re-election. Challengers include retired teacher/coach Patrick Cady, producer Jake Wachtel, teacher Chris Bley, community volunteer Laurie Lieberman, and small business owner Nimish Patel.
During opening statements, the incumbents stressed their experience and reflected on some of their achievements they feel should be considered in their re-election bid, while the challengers pointed to qualifications they believe should help them win a first term.
Bley, who previously ran for the school board in 2008, touched on his experience as a teacher for the past 10 years and said he hopes to re-focus the school district on the budget. Hoping to offer Malibu some representation on the board, 35-year resident Cady, who has taught for 35 years and coached, said he brings the perspective of a teacher, parent and community leader.
De la Torre, who mentioned not only his eight years on the school board but his founding of the Pico Youth and Family Center, said the citizens of Santa Monica deserve experienced leadership on the board.
"I want to keep the door of education open for generations," de la Torre said.
Having chaired the committee for the school fundraising initiative known as Measure A, Lieberman said she has 30 years of community government and school experience in Santa Monica and is running "to bring real leadership that makes a difference for our kids."
Mechur, a former board president, noted that he has served on behalf of children in the district for 20 years, working with the city as a board member to help develop a partnership for the extensive use of school facilities. Patel, who said he started his small business 10 years ago, explained that he has been actively involved with the district by serving on funding measures and the financial oversight committee.
Referencing his work as a teacher both in the U.S. and abroad, Wachtel said he believes he can offer "a global perspective that is unique to this district." Snell noted that he has served while the district has worked through one of the worst economic climates in history and he helped build collaborative partnerships.
"I'm running because I care about the kids in our community on all levels," Snell said.
Two Santa Monica High School students each had the chance to pose a forum question to four of the candidates. Asked what they feel is the correct class size ratio for high schools, Cady said 25:1 is ideal but the issue should be discussed with teachers, while Wachtel agreed, saying math classes in particular, should be under 30. Patel would like to have a 20:1 ratio for elementary schools but said high schools should aim for 25:1, while Lieberman agreed 25 is something to aspire to but said 30:1 is more realistic due to financing.
When the second Samohi student asked if the high school campus deserves beautification, de la Torre, a former student body president, said the "bigger issue is that Samohi is overcrowded," and he supports having an alternative school for the city.
With the district's funding struggles having drawn much attention in recent months, incumbents have referred to the significance of funding measures on the Nov. 2 ballot. If approved, Measure Y would create a half-cent sales tax to support various city services, while Measure YY is an advisory measure that asks voters if they support using half of the money generated to benefit the school district. Snell said he is a strong supporter of both measures, which will help stabilize the district finances, but the board would need to think hard about where to make future cuts if the measures fail.
Another recent topic of discussion has been the possible separation of the Santa Monica and Malibu school districts. In regards to the feasibility of a second school district in Malibu, Lieberman said it would be difficult to meet the financial standards for separation.
While Snell said he believes that Malibu should have its own district, that would be a "long-range option" due to financial issues and the district needs to continue understanding the uniqueness of both communities. Patel said he wants to do everything in his power to ensure Malibu feels like part of the district.
"I think every community should have local control over their public school system," de la Torre responded.
The incumbent added that a proposed separation would need to be approved by the county school system but the district needs to ensure that both communities have equal opportunities for their schools.

I should be in Dallas right now. But I'm not; I'm in Memphis. At the airport. For at least three hours.
Why? Because I made a tiny mistake — tiny in the size of it, but larger in the significance. All I did was write down 12:10 p.m., when I should have written down 10:35 a.m. The latter is when my flight left Memphis, the former when it arrives in Dallas. So around 10:30 this morning, when I got online to print my boarding passes, I realized my flight was leaving in five minutes.
I cussed loudly, then called the airline to see what my options were. I got a computer voice that I had to "talk" to a few times, then it didn't understand me, then I angrily pushed zero about 15 times. The computer voice responded with "I understand you want to speak to someone, but ..." I slammed down the phone and told my dad, "I need a break; I'm going for a walk."
So now, instead of rolling into Portland, Oregon, at 3 p.m. local time, I'm at the airport in Memphis, on standby for a 3:15 flight. Can't leave, either. If I don't get that flight, there's one at 6:50 p.m. If I get on either one, it's standby again in Dallas. Best case scenario is Portland around 10 p.m. Worst is overnight at DFW. Or I can rebook the whole ticket for about $600.
So I am now paying the Idiot Tax — in this case, in units of time and peace of mind, rather than cash. I first heard the term Idiot Tax in Asia somewhere, years ago. It referred to the amount of money one loses by exchanging currency in the official booth at the airport or train station, rather than going outside to look for the guy at the tobacco shop or on the corner, who had a much better rate. I have since expanded the definition to "any additional expense or hassle taken on by not knowing what the hell you're doing."
I first paid it, I think, in Bangkok. I don't even remember what the local currency is there, but I bought some at the airport, then showed up at the youth hostel and found out I had forfeited about 3 million local units by not changing on the street. A common cure for the International Idiot Tax, by the way, is reading the Lonely Planet guidebooks.
Another time I got taxed at a football game. I foolishly believed that the guy selling me a ticket was putting me with my fellow Ole Miss fans and also that the game was sold out, so basically paying face value was fine ... you know, because tickets were tight and I wanted to sit with the right people. After seeing about 200 other guys trying to sell tickets on the way in, and then taking my seat in an endzone full of hog-calling Arkansas fans, I realized I had been taxed again.
Another time I was flying to Hong Kong, on the same trip that saw me in Bangkok. Somebody at a hostel in Japan had said, "Dude, you gotta stay at the Chungking Mansion in Hong Kong!" Sadly, I didn't realize he was being a smart-ass or was displaying the same taste as when folks in Philadelphia told me I "had" to get a cheesesteak sandwich with Cheez Whiz.
I told the cabbie, "Chungking Mansion," and he dropped me off at what I took to be an office tower. Alas, it was the home of the "mansion," a decrepit hotel on about the 70th floor, reached by an elevator which was filled by me and my luggage. Unfortunately, five other people got in there with me. My room was so small I had to crawl over the foot of the bed, ducking the TV, to reach the nightstand. I took "showers" sitting on the toilet.
I've paid enough of this stupid tax to join the Tea Party: overpaid for meals, gotten screwed on train seats, spent an hour in the wrong passport line, accidentally eaten both horse and pigeon, and missed out on VIP seats to a Cardinals baseball game. I can't even bear to tell that last story.
And now I can add to my list of paid Idiot Taxes: "spent (an undetermined number of) hours at the airport because I didn't confirm my departure time." That's Travel 101 stuff, and I am ashamed. I am also annoyed by two children romping around (one of them just tripped over my computer power cord). I should be 500 miles from them right now.
All I can hope for now is that some other fool is paying the Idiot Tax so I can have his seat and get back on the road.

Um, return it to it's owner?
What if you find a gun?
A gun – keep.
This is insane, and surely not the halacha. The cases are not even comparable!!
Not sure that a wild cat, phone & /or gun are all in the same catagory,,,
Is fone filtered? What type of fone? What type of gun? Was it found in a public place or in a private area? Many other questions can be asked…
Let an American posak address this question too.
My Father found a wallet with identification belonging to a Goy . He gave the wallet to a friend who had a beard to return the wallet so the Goy would make no mistake about who had returned the wallet to him
Lots and lots of questions about this.
-Who's the posek?
-Why can we preemptively assume it has no filter and it's being used for shmutz?
-Can we assume the owner has no legit need for the phone (e.g. texting, video conferencing, GPS, as a WIFI hotspot, googling info when on the go, purchasing, travel info when in a foreign country or strange city, etc)?
-I know people who carry a company-owned smartphone per their job requirement. Losing their phone can harm their career. Is that not a concern?
-Can you also smash someone's computer, since that can be used for the same shmutz?
-Per the "cat skin" psak, could the finder simply wipe it and resell it?
(FWIW, these questions are not coming from a nogeah bedovor; I use an ancient flip-phone.)
I posted a comment there asking for the name of the posek
A very strange pesak. The phone may have a filter. Perhaps he needs it for business. Who are you Mr. Finder to decide the device is "dangerous".
What about an unvaccinated person who is lost and asks you for directions???
Great question!
It would be a mitzva gedolah to guide him to the nearest vaccination clinic.
Help him install Wayz on his cell phone. Then vaccinate him.
He is talking about a phone that has no filter and that has smutz on it. He is not talking about a filtered kosher smart phone
What if you find a pack of cigarettes…
Or a box of matches…
Or a candy. a baby might choke on it…
Where does the insane fanaticism end?
Very interesting. (and probably the last time I will bother to hear this speaker, as he may not approve of my looking for enlightenment on the internet.)
As long as you wear a white shirt and consume only Chalav Yisroel & Paas Yisroel, you've got a guaranteed entrance into gan eden. If you are missing any of the 3, it's gonna be very hot down there.
WHY NOT NAME the "LEADING POSEK"??????????? who is the posek please?!?!?!?!!?????
The ignorant FRUMIES are the cause of all the hatred among the normal educated Jews. You can see them all over the world by the way their "yarmakah" sticks out of the back of their black hats to show that they are wearing a "yarmakah"! FLAMBOYANT IS THE WORD!
Before destroying the tuma phone, unlock it, find the owner, give him a serious mussar talk, then rip the wig off his wife's head, and burn it together with the phone. If arrested for doing that, plead insanity with a religious exemption. When released, join Lev Tahor.
Keep this going or else we'll get more vaccinations…
That (unknown) Posek likely forbids Video Recorders too, so this Halachic Vid is 'Mute' (Excuse the pun).
As a lubavitcher chosid that has a "online semicha" program, he himself probably has a smart phone!
Seems to be another way of skinning a cat.
so if you find a stolen car you should blow it up because cars are dangerous?

Junk and Fishing Spots
Yesterday I drew the first fishing spot. This is a serene little pond you'll visit as your first fishing spot just outside the starting town of Pondward;
There are two fishing hotspots there, just to make the image look pretty, but in the game there'll probably be only one fishing hotspot per body of water; unique items will be found depending on the fishing spot they're located in, and not by where in that fishing spot you happen to be fishing.
Regarding alchemy and cooking, you'll also be able to click around the scenery for a chance of harvesting alchemical or recipe ingredients. There won't be icons for these nodes, but you can click on the distinct components of the scenery (e.g. in the image above you can see trees, flowers, bushes, mushrooms) and on occasion you'll find items. A scene like the above might have several possible harvesting nodes, but only one or two of them might be active in any given period. After exhausting the nodes, there'll be a cooldown period before the nodes become available for harvesting again, and they won't necessarily be the same nodes as last time (you might harvest a piece of bark from a tree on one visit, and a flower and a mushroom on another visit).
Today I got started drawing the junk (and a few gear) items you might fish up. I haven't shown all of them here, but here's a little preview - a cracked goblet, some tangled fishing wire, little tacks, and a pair of boots. You'll only fish up one item at a time, and then clicking on the item in the 'you reel in' box will move it to your inventory and dismiss the box.
The inventory will be grid-based with items occupying different amount of space (a small square, vertical two-square, horizontal two-square, big square, etc.). I've always loved managing a grid-based inventory in games - shuffling everything around and having to manage your space just feels more fun. You'll always be just a couple of clicks away from returning to a town to sell your gear, or to your home to store things, so you'll never have to worry about filling up and leaving things behind. If you're running out of space in your inventory and you catch something that won't fit, each fishing spot will have a little wooden box that overflow items will get added to for you to pick them up later. They won't despawn, but they'll have very limited space, only really meant to catch one last item that wouldn't fit into your inventory.
That's all for now! If you have thoughts on any of the systems I'm mentioning, or if you get any ideas you'd like to contribute, please leave a comment :D

Cutaway Kitchen
The main benefit for every sane person at work anywhere is convenience! A housewife, whose workplace is limited, as a rule, to the kitchen, can "wind" a dozen kilometers per day, running from the stove to the refrigerator, then to the washing machine, then to the sink, etc. A well-planned kitchen interior can make home chores not so tiring.
The main goal of the owner should be comfort and high functionality, when each item of the kitchen interior is not just convenient, but optimal in terms of human needs. All internal space must be created according to the laws of economy.
The kitchen is conditionally divided into three zones – the working, dining room and aisle area. Continue reading
What settlement schemes are possible when buying a property?
The first thing that any buyer of an apartment in a real estate agency will encounter when discussing settlement problems is the passive participation of a realtor in the scheme of transferring money from the buyer to the seller. That is, realtors of course calculate various options for paying for the cost of an apartment, but reality emasculated all the theoretical schemes and reduced them to one – settlements through a bank cell with special access conditions.
All other payment methods – from settlements at the entrance to the issue of letters of credit do not suit clients for one of two reasons – they are either unreliable or too expensive. Roads in the literal and figurative sense. Theoretically, the more legitimate the circuit, the easier it is to ensure its reliability. Typical of the real estate market is that the buyer and seller equally do not want to pay taxes or prove the origin of income. Continue reading
Life in traffic
The main problem for future residents of the Moscow Region is still the traffic load of the most popular destinations: Rublevo-Uspensky, Yaroslavsky, Leningradsky and Dmitrovsky. This is all the more true since your own car is the main mode of transportation. The point is not only in comfort, but also in the fact that getting from the hardware to the house will usually take at least half an hour. In addition, at night, hiking through the forest will not please anyone.
Therefore, realtors have no choice but to make a rating of busy routes for their customers and tell them what, how and when the authorities of Moscow and the Moscow Region plan to unload. The interest of citizens in their own home is severely restrained by the poorly developed infrastructure of organized villages. In most of the existing villages, there are still no schools, shops, medical institutions. Although, in fairness, it is worth noting that in the villages under construction, developers offer newcomers a gentlemanly infrastructure kit. Continue reading

Ok Crosstalk - if we're going to keep billing this place as the internet's #1 forum for fantasy football advice, it's time for everybody to step up to the plate.
The situation: 10-team league, 0.5 points per reception. I get to keep three players, 2 of whom* are AJ Green in the 9th round, and Jimmy Graham in the 7th.
So do I keep David Wilson in the 8th round, or Randall Cobb in the 12th? I love Cobb, and the 0.5 PPR helps, but it would be really nice to keep a RB since WRs are plentiful and RBs are scant... Plus Andre Brown broke his leg, so Wilson's going to be the guy in NY.
Ok Crosstalk: do what you were born to do.
*I have no idea how to use the word whom; it may as well be a semi-colon.

The White Emu of Timbavati Wildlife Park
Greetings friends and welcome to this week's blog post. The November air has a chill in it this week but the sun is shining and we don't have any snow so I will take that. This week we're going to check in on our very rare friends, the white emu. There aren't very many white emus in North America and as far as we know, we're the only park in the midwest with them on display.
This resident of Australia is the second largest bird in the world. It avoids living in dense forests, areas populated by humans and arid terrains. They have been spotted in deserts but they are much more common near water supplies. Emu are part of the Ratite family which include ostrich, rhea, kiwi, cassowary, and the recently extinct Moa.
With a top sprint speed of up to 30 miles per hour, the ability to stride 9 feet and a 7 foot vertical, the emu is a tough character to corral if you are a predator. The white emu is not an albino. Albinism is a random anomaly concerning the pigment of the skin. It also causes poor eyesight in the animal or person. The white emu has been bred to be white
White Emu Reproduction
A pair of emu will breed in the summer and a female can lay a clutch of up to 15 eggs at a time. When the female lays her eggs she wanders off and the father tends to the clutch. A female can lay up to 3 clutches in a season and sometime will lay her eggs in another emu's nest and let a surrogate father tend to the clutch.
The male stays with the nest for about 8 weeks, until the clutch hatches. In this period he rarely leaves the nest and as a result of this loses a lot of his fat reserves. The chicks are born "precocial" which means they are pretty well functional at birth taking only a few minutes before they take their first steps. I guess they don't need any tummy time to get them going eh?
The summer may be over but we're open all year round! That's right, we have our Timbavati Encounters. This is a guided trip to the park that begins daily at 11AM and 1PM. Check out the details on our website. Thanks for taking the time to read our weekly blog and we will see you in the park.

"You're like a SLEDGEHAMMER baby, you've been beatin' on my mind...."
Lyrics from a BTO song entitled SLEDGEHAMMER, but also an apt description of the way BTO's music came at you. This hard-driving band, which featured Randy Bachman from The Guess Who, had the energy and drive of a Panzer tank.
This band really knew how to crank it up. The only times they did slow it down a little bit, they did bluesy tunes that were also good listening. Their first release, in my opinion, is their best, but all four of the albums that you see at the right are great.
A few favorite tunes:
Gimme your Money Please
Stayed Awake All Night
Little Gandy Dancer
Let it Roll
You Ain't Seen Nothin Yet
Blue Moanin'
Trivia - before they were BTO, their band name was BraveBelt
Here's a little personal story. My girlfriend gave me the first BTO album for my high school graduation in 1974. A couple of nights later, I took the album over to a friend's house, and we proceeded to get kind of lit while listening to it. We then proceeded to the local drive in movie, where we partied some more. I cruised home late that night (or early the next morning) and went into the house and crashed. Waking up the next day at the crack of 11:00, my first thought was, "Idiot, you left your BTO album in the car". Well, being a nice warm June day, the album had been sitting for several hours in the hot black interior of my 1970 Nova. It was quite badly warped, as was my brain, but still playable. I still have that album........ The brain cells are still mostly there too. The girlfriend was history a long time ago.

The leader of Turkey's main opposition party Republican People's Party (CHP), Kemal Kilicdaroglu, has issued a threat to come and take back a total of 18 islands occupied by Greece.
"Take back"…interesting choice of words.
Surely Kemal Kilicdaroglu knows that when you play the "take back" game, Greece has a claim to just about all of Turkey. So let's play the "take back " game, and discuss the return of the Ayia Sofia and Constantinople, back into the hands of its rightful Orthodox owners, Mr. Kilicdaroglu.
"Molon Labe"…Zerohedge reports…
No worries. The leader of Kemalist CHP will not come in the next days, weeks or months. He will come in 2019, after his party will win the general elections of Turkey scheduled to take place in the same year.
As KeepTalkingGreece.com reports, lashing out at the Greek defense minister's remarks on the Aegean islands who a few days ago told Turkey "Molon Labe" – meaning "come and take [them]" is a classical expression of defiance. According to Plutarch, Xerxes I, king of the Achaemenid Empire, demanded that the Spartans surrender their weapons and King Leonidas I responded with this phrase. It is an exemplary use of a laconic phrase.
Kilicdaroglu said speaking at a party event in the northwestern province of Kocaeli…
"The Greek Defense minister says 'Come and get it.' I will come and take all of those islands back.
Why am I saying this? They said 'Come and get it' for Cyprus back in the day. What did Ecevit (former prime minister) do? He went there and took it back,"
As Keep Talking Greece reports, the debate over the Aegean islands sparked when the CHP leader criticized President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Dec. 11 over his failure to raise the issue of "18 occupied islands" during his visit to the country.
"Why did not you talk about 18 occupied islands? Article 12 and Article 18 of the Lausanne Treaty were clearly violated. There are 13,000 military units and nearly 5,000 Greek troops on the islands," Kiliçdaroglu said.

Hoppy victim of sickening cruelty
PUBLISHED: 15:48 17 July 2001 | UPDATED: 10:21 03 March 2010
HOPPY, the black Staffordshire Bull Terrier, is lucky to be alive after becoming the victim of a sickening act of cruelty. He is believed to have been thrown out of a car as it sped through Ipswich, causing the dog to suffer serious injuries.
HOPPY, the black Staffordshire Bull Terrier, is lucky to be alive today after becoming the victim of a sickening act of cruelty.
For he is believed to have been thrown out of a car as it sped through Ipswich, causing the dog to suffer serious injuries.
They include a suspected severe fracture to his front left leg together with minor cuts and abrasions and broken toes.
Now efforts are being made to find the culprits who caused the injuries to Hoppy, who has been given the new name by experts caring for him.
The animal welfare department at Ipswich Borough Council was first notified to what they believed to be an abandoned dog on Saturday morning when they were called to Levington Road.
Mike Grimwood, service manager for animal welfare at the council and who was first on the scene, said: "This is a serious incident and clearly the actions of someone who doesn't care about animals.
"It is inexcusable and totally irresponsible and if I find the owner, I will have no hesitation in bringing the RSPCA in and prosecuting the culprits."
Mr Grimwood said that there were two possibilities to how Hoppy got hurt.
He said the most likely scenario was that he was thrown from a car, but he could also have been abandoned and got struck by a passing vehicle.
However, suspicion is growing as three days have passed and neither the council, nor the police, have received any inquiries regarding a missing bull terrier.
At present the dog is being cared for by an Ipswich veterinary practice who have so far administered emergency first aid and strapped the leg for support.
The vet treating Hoppy said: It's a big trauma for the dog and he must have suffered a fairly good whack to break a leg as solid as his."
The vet, who is not being named as inquiries continue into the incident, said: "He is the world's friendliest dog and has a lovely temperament considering what he has been through.
"Up until now, he has been well cared for. There are no signs of malnutrition and he is eating well and has clean teeth and gums."
Hoppy has now had x rays taken which has discovered he has all his toes broken on his left leg.
So far the council has funded the vets bill, which has amounted to approximately £200.
If anybody recognises Hoppy or is interested in re-homing him they should contact the council on 01473 433015.

Mirrormask is a very nearly blissful movie experience, an almost perfect blend of children's' fantasy (with the corresponding lightness and spontaneity) with the more disturbing subtexts of angst, despair, and schizophrenia that characterize the world of adults. For McKean and Gaiman, dream and nightmare aren't at opposite poles. They meet comfortably in the middle, so you are never sure which way things are going to go. The same applies for "dream" and "reality": there's no easy way to say which is which in Mirrormask, because both partake of the same ingredients.
The common thread that runs through all the realms is sorcery. Mirrormask is everything that the Harry Potter films (even at their best) fail to be. It's a movie that opens doors onto the hidden realms of the psyche, and invites us in to play. If you are going to make a movie about magic, you better know how to cast a spell. Harry Potter is passable stage magic. Gaiman and McKean are real magicians, and Mirrormask is their sorcery at work, and at play.

I know it's a fantasy but oh does she want to make it a reality.
I am parked in my car out the front of your work; I can't help myself but send you a message and ask you which office you're currently standing in the one upstairs or downstairs? You answer me downstairs but then ask me why. Mmmmm I tell you I am parked out the front and ask you to let me know when you are standing in the upstairs office so you can get a better view.
I am currently sitting in the back seat of my car, legs spread wide open, fingers playing with my clit, when I know you can see me I put a couple of fingers inside my juicy hole, take my fingers out and lick them clean. I send you a message ask you whether you'd like a taste and you have two options:
Option 1
You can come down to my car, I will be leaning up against it, I will ask you to put your fingers inside of me, slide them in nice and deep, I'll squeeze your hard cock through your pants, although I prefer to be do something else. You lick your fingers clean and then go back to your office; I will then leave with a smile on my face.
Option 2
I ask you to take me inside to see your office; I want to sit in that empty spot on your desk where my arse will fit quite nicely.
Aha you've chosen Option 2 much to my delight.
You expertly sneak me inside; we make it all the way to your office without a hint of anything up (except for your cock which I can feel pressing up against my arse from behind as we are walking up the hallway).
I perch myself on your desk, in said space just right for my arse. You make yourself comfortable in your chair. I slowly open my legs and reveal my pussy to you, I go to stroke my clit but you grab my hands and pin them to the desk on either side of my legs. You bring your chair forward and bury your head between my thighs and start to swirl your tongue around and around my clit, just the way I like it. I am biting my bottom lip hoping that will prevent me from groaning out loud with the pleasure of the touch of your tongue, I don't want to be discovered, and we have only just started our naughty time in your office.
I throw my head back as wave after wave of pleasure runs through my body, yep your going to make ME CUM and I have no option but to try and keep quiet, a hard task. I beg you to free up my hands, I grab your head and grind my pussy into your face lost in the sensation that you are about to make me CUM all over your tongue. I fall back onto your desk with hands clutched over my mouth as I CUM so I don't scream out.
You ask me to stand, turn around and you bend me over your desk, I beg you to plough your hard cock inside my nice juicy wet pussy.
I gasp in pleasure as you enter me nice and deeply, you slowly slide your cock in and out, I want too feel your full length enter me. I ask you to fuck me nice and slowly until I tell you that you can thrust nice and hard. Grab my pig tail and hold me back against you, pull it harder. Oh god that feels so good, I am getting even more aroused and wet, your cock inside me feels so divine. You wrap your hand around my pig tail and fuck me as hard. Your taking your time enjoying each thrust of your cock inside my juicy wet pussy, I clutch the edge of your desk because I am starting to shake with desire and trying to not make a sound as each thrust feels so fucking good. Your cock is nice and hard and I can tell you're close to Cumming inside of me. With a few last rough thrusts I can feel you CUMMING, it feels so good, and I can feel your cock jerking inside me as you CUM.
Now that you've exploded your creamy goodness inside me I want to feel your tongue tasting me, teasing my clit again (yep greedy bitch) you put 2 fingers inside of me and slowly move them in and out, mmmm just like that, yes keep going, harder with your tongue, faster oh fuck. Put in a 3rd finger, oh yes like that. Your tongue is flicking over my clit it's driving me wild, aha keep going. I have lost it now, grinding my hips and my clit against your tongue, I am using you until I CUM, yes it feels to fucking good, aha yep that's it, don't you dare move your tongue it's in the perfect position rubbing on my swollen clit, I am trying to be quiet but I can't, it's so erotic knowing your head is between my thighs, your tongue licking my clit and anyone can walk up and knock on the office door, and like hell will you stop and answer it, no you FUCKING WON'T. Go a little faster, mmmm that it's, now harder, oh god I can feel my climax building, aha I am going to CUM, don't you dare fucking stop, mmmm that's it oh fuck I'm cumming, I'm cumming.
I grab you and kiss you I want to taste my juice all over your lips.
I will enjoy walking around with your creamy goodness leaking out of me, and I'll be reminded all day where you've been every time I move, that's so arousing.
We finish I make myself tidy again, we calmly walk back out again as if nothing ever happened, no one has a clue that you just fucked me bent over your desk.

The dimensional structure of students' self-concept and interest in science depends on course composition
Malte Jansen, Institute for Educational Quality Improvement, Germany ; Ulrich Schroeders, Department of Psychology, Germany ; Oliver Lüdtke, Centre for International Student Assessment, Germany ; Herbert W. Marsh, Australian Catholic University, Australia
Learning and Instruction Volume 60, Number 1, ISSN 0959-4752 Publisher: Elsevier Ltd
Both academic self-concept and interest are considered domain-specific constructs. Previous research has not yet explored how the composition of the courses affects the domain-specificity of these constructs. Using data from a large-scale study in Germany, we compared ninth-grade students who were taught science as an integrated subject with students who were taught biology, chemistry, and physics separately with regard to the dimensional structure of their self-concepts and interests. Whereas the structure of the constructs was six-dimensional in both groups (self-concept and interest factors for biology, chemistry, and physics), the correlations between the domain-specific factors were higher in the integrated group. Furthermore, the pattern of gender differences differed across groups. Whereas male students generally showed higher self-concept and interest in physics and chemistry, a small advantage for male students in biology was only present in integrated science teaching group. We conclude that aspects of the learning environment such as course composition may affect the dimensional structure of motivational constructs.

Guest comment: 'Islington needs to wake up to the reality of knife crime'
PUBLISHED: 12:51 23 May 2018 | UPDATED: 12:51 23 May 2018
I heard about Marcel Campbell's death while driving on Monday evening. My heart fell to my feet. I lost concentration and nearly crashed the car.
In February last year, my son JJ was killed yards from where Monday's tragedy happened. I was absolutely devastated to learn that once again, someone had been stabbed to death in Upper Street.
It brought back that first phone call I got, saying JJ had been stabbed. That panic. That sick feeling.
I'm thinking of his family this week. It's flooring. They will be in total shock. They will be questioning why this would happen to their child. Why someone would want to harm him with that severity.
Look at Upper Street. No one would believe it would be a murder scene. No one would believe it's a street where someone would walk up to another human being and put a knife in them.
But here's the thing: Islington needs to wake up.
It's not the posh place everyone thinks it is. We have a problem on our streets – people are being targeted and killed. It's happening on our major roads.
This is a sophisticated borough in a sophisticated city. Why on earth is this happening? Animals don't do this sort of thing to each other.
It's not to do with the Prime Minister, it's not to do with the mayor of London, it's the community. If we don't pull together, this will keep happening. The police need our help. If you see people carrying weapons, tell them.
My heart is broken for the victim's family. This shouldn't happen to any family.
Michelle McPhillips is the mum of Upper Street stab victim Jonathon "JJ" McPhillips and an anti-knife crime campaigner.

Atletico Madrid manager Diego Simeone has revealed the three Chelsea players he is wary of ahead of his side's clash with the Blues in the Champions League, report the Metro.
Simeone has come up against some of the best players in the world during his time as Atletico boss, there should be very few that he fears. However, he has revealed ahead of Chelsea's visit to the Wanda Metropolitano that he is wary of four players in particular.
The Metro quote Simeone, who says:
"Morata is a very important player,' he said ahead of the match. He has great movement in the box, he knows how to play with his back to goal and can keep the ball. He will perform really well at Chelsea alongside players like Willian, Hazard and Pedro."
Chelsea's potent attack has been the foundation of our success in recent seasons, Simeone is right to be afraid.
Eden Hazard and Alvaro Morata in particular, who will both likely start this evening, are two of the best players in the world in their respective positions. If they are both on song, then we have a great chance of returning to England with all three points. Fingers crossed!

Dr. Tim Ball: Seven Ways To Spot Climate Change Propaganda• https://www.technocracy.news, Dr. Tim Ball
This is an update of an earlier effort to counter the propaganda war that is going on to promote the falsehoods about the environment and climate. An update is required because skills improved with practice and as they lose the war desperation demands greater deceptions. Technocrats are at the center of this development.
They achieve control in various ways, so it is invaluable to read the signs and avoid the deception. The most reliable tool is simple skepticism. Ironically, fake news is now so pervasive that it is much easier to assume everything is fake. The global warming deception is the oldest deeply entrenched fake news story because it is the product of government and deep state bureaucrats. Maurice Strong established the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) through the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). This is a UN agency run by bureaucrats in Geneva but made up of bureaucrats from the national weather offices of every UN member nation. They work every day using your tax dollars to deceive you.

That's according to a new study offering more evidence of a link between kidney disease and neurological problems.
"Clinicians should know that AKI is associated with poor long-term outcomes," said lead author Jessica B. Kendrick MD, associate professor of medicine at the University of Colorado, Aurora. "We need to identify ways to prevent these long-term consequences."
The findings were presented at Kidney Week 2018, sponsored by the American Society of Nephrology.
According to Dr. Kendrick, the acute neurological effects of AKI are well known. But no previous studies have examined the potential long-term cerebrovascular complications of AKI.
For the new study, Dr. Kendrick and her colleagues retrospectively analyzed 2,082 hospitalized patients in Utah from 1999 to 2009: 1,041 who completely recovered from AKI by discharge, and 1,041 who did not have AKI.
The average age was 61 years, and the average baseline creatinine was 0.9 ± 0.2 mg/dL. Over a median follow-up of 6 years, 97 patients developed dementia.
Those with AKI were more likely to develop dementia compared with the control group: 7% vs. 2% (hazard ratio, 3.4; 95% confidence interval, 2.14-5.40).
Other studies have linked kidney disease to cognitive impairment.
"There are a lot of theories as to why this is," nephrologist Daniel Weiner, MD, of Tufts University, Boston, said in an interview. "It is most likely that the presence of kidney disease identifies individuals with a high burden of vascular disease, and that vascular disease, particularly of the small blood vessels, is an important contributor to cognitive impairment and dementia."
That appears to be most notable in people who have protein in their urine, Dr. Weiner added. "The presence of protein in the urine identifies a severe enough process to affect the blood vessels in the kidney, and there is no reason to think that blood vessels elsewhere in the body, including in the brain, are not similarly affected."
As for the current study, Dr. Weiner said it could support the vascular disease theory.
"People with vulnerable kidneys to acute injury also have vulnerable brains to acute injury," he said. "People who get AKI usually have susceptibility to perfusion-related kidney injury. In other words, the small blood vessels that supply the kidney are unable to compensate to maintain sufficient blood flow during a time of low blood pressure or other systemic illness."
That vulnerability "suggests to me that small blood vessels elsewhere in the body are less likely to be able to respond to challenges like low blood pressure," Dr. Weiner explained. "If this occurs in the brain, it leads to microvascular disease and greater abnormal white-matter burden. This change in the brain anatomy is highly correlated with cognitive impairment."
How can physicians put these finding to use? "These patients may require more monitoring," Dr. Kendrick said. "For example, patients with AKI and complete recovery may not have any follow-up with a nephrologist, and perhaps they should."
Moving forward, she said, "we are examining the association of AKI with cognitive dysfunction in different patient populations." Researchers also are planning studies to better understand the mechanisms that are at work, she said.
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute funded the study. The study authors had no disclosures.

Papaver somniferum 'China Pink' | 'Opium Poppy' | ~100 seeds
'China Pink' is a rather rare variety of Papaver somniferum ('Opium Poppy'), which may take slightly longer than other types to reach maturity, but is well worth the wait! Covetable for its reddish-pink blooms and nutritious seed and reaching around a metre high once fully-grown; 'China Pink; makes for a great addition to any ornamental flower garden.
Easily cultivated from seed, somniferum grows in full and sheltered sun, in clay, chalk, loam or sand (either acid, alkaline or neutral). Just make sure that you're somewhere in USDA Hardiness Zones 7-11, allow adequate drainage and you'll soon have your very own – wildly colourful – poppy patch!

With rising college costs, using tax-advantaged education accounts to save money is a smart move. Examples include Coverdell Education Savings Accounts and 529 plans, a qualified tuition program. You can move funds from an ESA to a 529 plan as long as the beneficiary is either the same person or is a family member of the ESA beneficiary.
You can transfer funds from an ESA to a 529 plan, which allows you to avoid the age limit for distributions the ESA has. You will have to make the same child or another family member the 529 plan's beneficiary, though.
About ESA and 529 Plans
You can establish a Coverdell ESA for anyone under 18 years old. The beneficiary doesn't have to be your child or have any other particular relationship to you. Contributions are limited to $2,000 per year per beneficiary, and your income must not exceed the annual limits to contribute.
A 529 plan, on the other hand, has much higher contribution limits that each state determines. While all states have a limit of $200,000 or higher, some states such as New Hampshire and Louisiana increase it to $500,000. There are also no income restrictions. However, while a Coverdell ESA permits unlimited distributions for elementary and secondary school expenses each year, 529 plans only allow a maximum of $10,000 for distribution each year for such expenses.
Neither type of plan has a limit on the amount distributed each year for postsecondary expenses.
Permitted Plan Transfers
A distribution from an ESA to a 529 plan counts as a qualified education expense and is therefore not subject to any taxes or penalties if the beneficiary of the 529 plan is the same as the ESA beneficiary or is a family member of the ESA beneficiary. Family members include a beneficiary's sibling, child (including adopted children and stepchildren), parents and stepparents, children of a sibling, aunts and uncles, in-laws as well as the spouses of any of these family members.
For example, if you have an ESA set up for your daughter, you can move the money from that ESA into a 529 plan for the benefit of your daughter, or any of your other children. You could even move it into a 529 plan that designates yourself as the beneficiary because you are your child's parent.
Reasons for Moving Plan Funds
With a Coverdell ESA, the money in the account must be distributed within 30 days of the beneficiary turning 30 years old or the beneficiary's death, if sooner. With a 529 plan, on the other hand, there are no such age limitations. If you have a beneficiary approaching the 30-year age limit for a Coverdell ESA, moving the money to a 529 plan for that beneficiary enables you to avoid those forced distributions. For example, if you have a daughter in medical school who is coming up on her 30th birthday but still has a few years of school to go, you could move the money from her Coverdell ESA to a 529 plan so she can continue to use it after she turns 30 for her remaining education expenses.
Alternatively, say your daughter had money left over in her Coverdell ESA after finishing school and you have a son who wants to go back to school despite being over 30 years old. You couldn't simply change the beneficiary of the Coverdell ESA to your son because he is too old. However, you could move the money from the Coverdell ESA that names your daughter as the beneficiary to a 529 plan that names your son as the beneficiary because they are considered family members.
