This recipe was fantastic. I am very excited to have found a cookie recipe that doesn't need eggs or a ton of butter to be exceptional. For the seasoned baker, this is an ideal recipe to edit and play with. I lessened the butter, doubled the vanilla and used coarse sea salt. They turned out fantastic.
Worried I left something out, as the dough was almost crumbly; only came together when moistened with water. Doubled receipe,. Didn't think I'd ever bake these again, but actually tasted pretty good.
I doubled the recipe--who wants 12 cookies!?--and they seem to have turned out really well. I did everything as directed, times two. My stand mixer didn't produce those "moist clumps" after adding the dry ingredients and I worried I had left something out. I hadn't, so I just mixed the dough well with my fingers. I formed cookies with a 1-Tbsp. scoop and did not press them down. They look like the picture. I must say that the oat meal seems somewhat superfluous. These are a lovely, tender chocolate cookie. Not sure why the oatmeal is even there. There is also a somewhat salty undertaste, but that's OK with me.
Super simple. Super good. I didn't let my butter get quite to room temperature and was careful not to acually over beat the butter, sugar and vanilla. I think this helped alleviate the spreading issue others reported in their reviews. I also baked these on parchment paper with no grease. They came right off when they were cool. We absolutely make again and again.
Ohh sooo Chocolatey! I followed the ingredients & instructions as listed with the exception of putting the cookie balls in the freezer while the oven preheated. Then flattened them to 1/4" thick and baked them on lightly buttered parchment paper. I definately will make again.
Good cookies for people with egg allergies. My kids loved them. They taste like brownie cookies. If you don't put too much shortening on the pans to grease them, they will not spread too much. I also chilled the dough after making balls for 15 minutes before putting them on the baking sheet and flattening them. They are delicate when you get them out of the oven. It is best to let them cool a bit on the cookie sheet before moving the cookies to a rack. Once they cool, they harden up fine. I used regular steel cut oats. Next time I make these cookies, I will try quick cooking steel cut oats.
Made a batch of these cookies this afternoon. Fantastic chocolate flavor and I rather like the "sandy" texture --- bit different than most cookies. The oats do add a chewiness to the cookies -- but if you are used to "regular" oatmeal cookies -- it's not really comparable. The chocolate really plays the lead role in these cookies -- so I would recommend using good cocoa powder and chocolate chips (I used organic cocoa powder from a local shop and Bernard Callebaut chocolate chips). Only change that I made to the recipe was to use bittersweet chocolate chips -- because that's what I had in my pantry.
I made these exactly as written and didn't really enjoy them. They just taste like chocolate mixed with butter - nothing special. Mine spread out really thin on the cookie sheet too.
My new favorite cookie! Will definitely make again! Only baked 10-11 min.
far, far too much butter, which causes them to flatten, spread, and turn out greasy. either add more flour or reduce amount of butter. also, cooking time is far too long. 10 minutes tops, and take them out before you think they're done.

Cran Health Tablets, 60ct
I use this product in conjunction with another to relieve my furry baby of chronic UTIs, so I can't review this one without reviewing the other. The other is a powder that is given daily during active UTI or 3 times a week for maintenance of a healthy bladder only. In conjuction with that, I give her Cran Health tablets daily. Shortly after she was spayed, my baby began having chronic UTIs that were being treated with antibiotics. Once I understood what was causing the UTIs, I decided to treat her with supplements and began giving her Cran Health tablets & the powdered stuff. She hasn't had a UTI since and it's been 3 years now. I've tried using the two products separately, but the results aren't as effective as when used together. My baby loves Cran Health & so so I!

Cran Health Tablets are very helpful for my dog and she loves the taste.

Seems to be working well. Cat eats it without problem.
My 3 year old cat developed her first cystitis last fall. After antibiotics and using expensive, medically prescribed food, I've been able to keep her cystitis-free for months just by using this product, switching to mostly canned (but not 'prescribed') food, and some Foster & Smith crunchies. A 1/2 tablet in her wet food is gobbled with no problem. Still don't know what triggered the cystitis - so common with cats - but hope this will keep her urinary tract out of trouble. It's MUCH less expensive than feeding her the prescribed food.

My Beagle has been on Cranberry pills since we got her from a rescue organization because of urinary problems. These tablets are the same strength, same amount and less than half the price.

If 2020 has taught us anything, it is that compassion and care for others is so important. We want to take a moment to say a massive thank you to all of the caregivers, nurses, doctors, and to everyone in the medical field who has sacrificed their personal time to help protect others.
With constant regulation changes, we need to do everything that we can do to protect the more vulnerable members of our community, and we have complied a list of simple things that we can all do to contribute to helping our communities and prevent the spread of COVID-19.
Video calls and social media are key!
As we cannot see our loved ones in person as much, it is important to not socially isolate whilst socially distancing. Due to the new regulations in place, we need to ensure that we are following social distancing guidelines and not meeting up with people. Understandably, this is very difficult for many people, especially those who live alone. Make sure you send messages to your loved ones often, and arrange video and voice calls if possible!
If you have to go to the shops, or you find yourself using public transport, or if you find yourself in any other public social setting – you need to ensure that you are wearing a mask. Most places have mask wearing as a mandatory rule, but others are more lenient. Regardless of rules, you need to make sure that you have a mask on you, as the virus can carry no symptoms and can still be passed on to others who may be vulnerable. Even if you are healthy and do not believe that the virus could harm you, it is still important to protect others.
Make sure your mask is fully covering your nose and mouth in order to achieve the best results.
Hands, face, and social space
One of the most important things that we need to collectively do is make sure that we are washing our hands, especially if we are just about to go outside, or have just come back inside. Many shops have hand sanitizer stands at their doors to help prevent the spread of the virus, but it is always useful to carry around a hand sanitizer with you just in case a shop you enter does not have such facilities. Make sure that as soon as you get home, you wash your hands thoroughly – the NHS site has a guide on how to do this properly if you are unsure.
Note any symptoms
Do not hesitate to get a COVID test or isolate if you start developing any symptoms. These include changes to your sense of taste and / or smell, high temperatures and a new continuous cough. However, it is also important to note that it can also be symptom-less.
If anyone in your household, or anyone you have been in recent contact with has tested positive for the virus, it is vital that you also get tested and isolate as soon as you find out until you get your results. You could be unknowingly spreading the virus if you do not do so.
Keep up to date with the NHS app
The NHS app is very useful when it comes to receiving up to date advice and keeping up with the regulations. The app will tell you which tier your area is in and will provide information on what you can and can’t do whilst you are in that tier. You can also use the app to assist with ordering home tests as well in case you cannot go to a test site.
Make sure that you are staying safe during these difficult times. If you have an elderly loved one who could use some assistance during these uncertain times, please do not hesitate to get in touch with us on 01322686765 or send us an email on email@example.com.

Three men and one woman aged between 61 and 67 were arrested by Central Narcotics Bureau (CNB) officers for suspected drug activities on Friday (April 22).
About 735g of heroin and 254g of methamphetamine or Ice, with an estimated street value of $90,000 were also seized during the operation, said CNB on Sunday.
On Friday afternoon, CNB officers arrested a 61-year-old Singaporean man in the vicinity of Serangoon Road and recovered 245g of Ice hidden in food packaging, and cash amounting to around $3,400.
The other three suspects, a 65-year-old woman and two men aged 65 and 67, all Singaporeans, were arrested in a follow-up operation conducted in the same area.
CNB officers recovered 521g of heroin and 3g of Ice hidden in a biscuit box, as well as about $1,500 in cash from the 67-year-old man.
The other man and the woman were then escorted to their hideout in a private residential estate in the vicinity, where officers seized about 214g of heroin, 6g of Ice and various drug paraphernalia.
At least $12,000 in cash was also seized from the 65-year-old man.
CNB said that the amount of heroin recovered during the operation was enough to feed the addiction habit of 350 abusers for a week, while the amount of Ice was sufficient for that of 150 abusers.
Investigations are ongoing.
A person found guilty of trafficking more than 15g of heroin, or 250g of methamphetamine faces the mandatory death penalty.

For some weeks now, top union leaders have been muttering about a possible National government attack on unions’ access to worksites. The present law allows union representatives to enter workplaces to visit existing union members and recruit new members. Union officials must produce identification, tell the employer the purpose of their visit and not take up too much time, or enter at very busy times.
These rights were denied by National’s Employment Contracts Act and restored by the last Labour government. Restoration of right of entry was the one big concession Labour made to the union movement. Now, it is increasingly being rumoured, John Key’s lot will remove unions’ right of entry again.
The rumours came out in the open in Council of Trade Unions President Helen Kelly’s Dominion Post column of February 23rd. There, in an article headlined; Will Government put the country first? Kelly claimed:
“National still intends to reduce worker’s rights by making union access to a workplace dependant on employer approval.”
The CTU president went on to argue that the existing setup is :
“a proper balance between the rights of workers to belong to and be represented by unions without intimidation and the right of employers to permit only legitimate visits.”
“Only eight instances can be found since the legislation was introduced in 2000 where the exercise of these provisions has been challenged- which suggests they work”.
That rosy picture of the existing law could only have been written by a union official who makes relatively few workplace visits. As any busy organiser on the road can confirm, effective right of access is fought out across the country every day and night. Although some employers give no trouble, many, probably a majority, throw up barriers of all kinds against the spirit of the legislation. Silent half deserted places are said to be “too busy at the moment”. Union officials are then made to wait for ages in the hope that they will get fed up and leave. Or the boss will glare round at staff and say “Anyone want to see the union?!” in such a way that his opinion of unions and workers who want to see them is plain. Other bosses simply state that “I’ve asked them and noone here wants to see you”. The weakness of the existing law means gaining union access to workers is a constant struggle, and the only thing worse would be no right in law at all.
Helen Kelly writes that should a law change be imposed to remove or restrict right of entry:
“unions will be forced to hunker down and campaign in other ways to ensure workers are aware of their rights to collective bargaining”
Unions should be getting out right now and planning exactly what these “other ways” might consist of. If the CTU leaders have any good ideas about how to do this they are keeping them to themselves. Helen Kelly’s own public strategy is to argue that National should cooperate with unions for the benefit of the country. According to her, unions can “work with employers to understand the issues they face” and ” unions can help with transitions where saving jobs is not possible.”
She concludes ” Workers will be watching closely to see whether National is big enough to put the country first on this one.”
Offers to facilitate redundancy and nationalistic piffle may do to fill Helen Kelly’s newspaper column, but they don’t help unionists prepare to force locked gates.
In reality, “the country” is not a single happy entity. The country is populated by two main classes comprising employers and workers. These two classes have competing interests. Most employers would rather have no union to bother about. That way they have complete freedom to run their business. With union density in the private sector now down to 9% employers are well on the way to this state of affairs.
Most workers, when given a chance to see all the facts, would rather be organised on the job in a collective, because that delivers more money and better conditions. Proper unionism does not blather on pointlessly about the “good of the country” but puts workers’ interests first, every time.
Restricted as it is, the existing right of entry is a relatively modern condition, as is unionism itself. When the first unions were formed, all their activities were illegal. Still, unions managed to battle on and win gains. Union activists today need to prepare to defend and extend the right of entry and to discuss ways to work if the right is removed.

The second supermoon of the year has now graciously set after tarvelling across the night sky, illuminating the whole of the UK last night.
The blue moon rose sometime around 5pm on Wednesday January 31, and astronomy experts expected it to stick around until Thursday February 1.
Royal Observatory Greenwich astronomer Dr Gregory Brown said: “It will be high in the sky from about 7pm and will be at its highest, and thus best, time at around 0.40am.
"This coming full moon is unusual in that it is the second full moon of the month, when typically there is only one full moon per calendar month.
"Also, the full moon will be slightly larger than normal given that this is also a supermoon, so astrophotography will be more spectacular than normal."
A stunning photo of the full moon was snapped over London, with the average-than-usual moon dominating the city's skyline.
Another breathtaking photo captured over the capital shows the reddish moon hanging in between two apartment blocks in North London.
South east of London, the giant supermoon was also photographed against the skeletal remains of a gas holder near to St Mary's Stadium in Southampton.

The full moon also perfectly set the mood over Bolsover Castle in Bolsover, Derbyshire, with its light casting an ominous glow onto the 17th century building.
The supermoon appears so big last night because a supermoon event occurs whenever a moon approaches its point of perigee, or closest possible orbital distance to Earth.
Space boffins at NASA teased that under these circumstances the moon can be up to 14 percent larger and 30 percent brighter.
But why did the moon appear red at times? Was it because it was the famous blood moon?

The blood moon did indeed coincide with the lunar eclipse in the Eastern Hemisphere on Wednesday, but the UK unfortunately missed out on the spectacle.
This coming full moon is unusual in that it is the second full moon of the month
Another important fact is that the moon does not actually change colour tonight.
Instead, a process known as Rayleigh scattering makes red bands of light on the visible spectrum distort the way we see the moon. The same process paints sunsets red, skies blue and even the colour of blue eyes.
Last night's moon is also referred to as the blue moon, because it is the second full moon to rise in one calendar month.

In Southampton the blue moon was snapped next to an old gas tank
Dr Daniel Brown, an astronomy expert at Nottingham Trent University, explained: “The Super Blue Blood Moon is a lunar eclipse that happens on the second full moon of the month.
“It also happens to be during the Moon’s closest approach, being within 10 percent of the nearest to Earth it can ever be.
Dr Brown added: “Events such as this cause us to look up and enjoy the skies above. The Moon is beautiful sight any time of the year.
“In the UK we will not be able to spot the eclipse but we should still get out there and watch the skies and the Moon and take some meaningful pictures of this beautiful sky-scape.”

Add John Fleming, a Republican congressman from Louisiana, to the growing, bipartisan list of relatively well-off politicians who may want to revisit the way they discuss their income in public.
During an MSNBC interview to discuss why Fleming opposes President Obama's tax increase on those earning more than $1 million per year, host Chris Jansing said that Fleming has an income of more than $6 million. Fleming quickly corrected her, saying he actually takes in a fraction of that gross amount--about $600,000.
"The amount that I have to reinvest in my business and feed my family is more like $600,000 of that $6.3 million," Fleming explained. "So by the time I feed my family I have, maybe, $400,000 left over to invest in new locations, upgrade my locations, buy more equipment."
Watch the entire interview below.
Fleming owns a string of Subway sandwich shops and UPS store franchises that earned a gross income of about $6.3 million last year, according to a review of the congressman's finances in The Wall Street Journal.
Jansing went on to tell Fleming that his annual personal income of $200,000 from those ventures was "not exactly a sympathetic position" from which to make the case for lower taxes on the wealthy.
"You do understand, congressman, that the average person out there who's making maybe 40, 50, $60,000 out there, when they hear you only have $400,000 left over, it's not exactly a sympathetic position," she said. "You understand that?"
"Class warfare's never created a job," Fleming responded. "And that's people that will not get jobs. This is all about creating jobs, Chris, this is not about attacking people who make certain incomes. You know in this country, most people feel that being successful in their business is a virtue, not a vice, and once we begin to identify it as a vice, this country is going down."
Fleming was merely pointing out a consequence of tax increases--that business owners will have less money to re-invest and hire new workers if they decline to take a pay cut. But his message likely won't resonate, as Jansing said, with "average Americans."
Lawmakers in both parties have long found themselves appearing removed from reality. From pictures of former Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry windsurfing off Nantucket in 2004 to current Republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich's six-figure tab at Tiffany's in 2011, national politicians can find themselves treading a fine line when it comes to discussing their wealth, especially during tough economic times.
Others may want to take note.

New research, published today [1,2], finds that low doses of a chemical that leaches from many till receipts and food cans, can change the behaviour of female mice towards their offspring.
The chemical, bisphenol A (BPA), has already been banned from use in baby bottles, and the French government has asked for an EU-wide ban on its use in thermal paper till receipts .
The researchers exposed the mice to either the female hormone or BPA during their development, then later observed their behaviour after they gave birth to young. The level of BPA they were exposed to was considered to be similar to that found in pregnant women.
One of the authors, Cheryl Rosenfeld, associate professor of biomedical sciences in the College of Veterinary Medicine and a researcher in the Bond Life Sciences Center at the University of Missouri, said:
“Endocrine-disrupting chemicals like BPA mimic the steroid hormones that establish the ‘circuitry’ for the adult female brain during early development, but little was known about how this chemical might affect the father’s behavior,”
“The nature and extent of care received by an infant is important because it can affect social, emotional and cognitive development,”
“We found that females who were exposed early on to BPA spent less time nursing, so the pups likely did not receive the normal health benefits ascribed to nursing.
“Likewise, we found that developmental exposure of males and females to these endocrine-disrupting chemicals resulted in their spending more time out of the nest and away from their pups, further suggesting that biparental care was reduced.”
BPA is a known endocrine (or hormone) disruptor – a chemical that mimics, blocks or interferes with the body’s hormones. There is increasing research connecting bisphenol A exposure with health effects such as obesity , and BPA can be absorbed into our bodies by handling till receipts .
Dr Michael Warhurst, Executive Director of CHEM Trust, said:
“This is very worrying research, indicating that this industrial chemical – to which we are all exposed – may be affecting important parenting behaviour. Governments across Europe – including the UK – should be pushing for a rapid phase out of BPA exposure, starting with till receipts“

In the next to last episode of 2017 (recorded December 6th) we do a wrap up of 2017 and make some predictions for 2018. Why an episode early you may be asking… #12 we have a guest joining us, Maria Ploessl the new Executive Director of MinneStar.
We start with Kathy Grayson, Senior Reporter at Minneapolis / St. Paul Business Journal (click LinkedIn | @mspbjGrayson) going through the most read 2017 online tech and startup stories at the MSP Business Journal. Casey Allen (click EnterpriseRising | LinkedIn | @casey__allen) jumps in and we start to go through them a bit including Bright Health, Foodsby and my thought that it seemed like Minneapolis and St Paul had a good year with companies and funding.
We then do predictions… Casey has a number of Minnesota tech and startup groups who could be in line for an IPO or acquisition and how to find signs it may happen. I talk about what I think is going to happen with Minnesota IT Job creation and loss and give a few data points. Kathy predicts a mostly unknown or unexpected company will raise a large round of funding.
Some news items: WeWork announcing their new location in Uptown and why our podcast seems to always be talking about coworking spaces. From that a tangent about companies and tech founders that were here and moved somewhere else and the launch of Optum Ventures.
We close as we do with dares… I talk about self care and taking care of oneself, Casey mentions the iOS app Moment and for Android Quality Time to track time spent on all phone apps and Kathy dares us to gift to someone a news subscription for a year and see if they like it.
And yes… I do own the @Gophers account.

National Sleep Awareness Week
National Sleep Awareness Week, observed March 6 - 13, is an opportunity to stop and think about one's sleep habits, realize how much they impact one's well-being, and take a step toward improving them.
The National Sleep Foundation recommends that adults get seven to nine hours of sleep per night; less may pose serious consequences to one’s health and safety. For example, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have found that people who reported sleeping six hours or less per night were significantly more likely to fall asleep while driving than those who reported sleeping seven to nine hours nightly.

- Q:What is the classification of solar collectors?
- According to the collector temperature range is divided into: low temperature collector, the temperature collector, high temperature collector.
- Q:How can solar collector system prevent wind?
- A solar collector is a device that absorbs solar radiation and transfers heat energy to the heat transfer medium.
- Q:Flat solar collector how, flat solar collector working principle introduced
- Set up reliable lightning protection measures. 5) The storage tank base must be located on the load-bearing wall (beam) of the building and reserved for fixing parts. The gap between the embedded part and the base, the application of fine stone concrete filling dense. 6) storage tank application anchor bolts and foundation connection firmly.
- Q:What is the solar collector
- A solar collector is a device that converts radiant energy from the sun into heat. As the solar energy is more dispersed, must try to put it together, so the collector is a key part of the use of solar energy devices.
- Q:Vacuum tube for solar collectors
- Good insulation: heat pipe has a one-way heat transfer characteristics, so that hot water at night will not heat down the heat pipe to the surrounding environment.
- Q:Where is the solar collector installed in the building?
- Different local requirements and horizontal angle is not the same, in the north and the horizontal angle needs a little bigger.
- Q:The introduction of flat solar water heater

Tributes poured in Monday for veteran journalists David Gilkey and Zabihullah Tammana, an American reporter and an Afghan translator reporter killed Sunday in Afghanistan when their vehicle came under Taliban rocket fire.
Afghan President Ashraf Ghani, writing on Twitter, condemned the attack as "cowardly," and described Tammana and Gilkey as journalists "on the front line to report about the truth."
The U.S. Embassy in Kabul and Gen. John Nicholson, commander of NATO's Allied Land Command, also offered condolences, along with U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, who described the duo in a statement as "intrepid journalists."
Gilkey, Tammana and two Afghan soldiers were killed while riding in a vehicle that authorities say came under sustained Taliban fire just outside an army base in the Helmand provincial town of Marjah. The town and surrounding agricultural region are considered Taliban strongholds and the center of the country's opium poppy production.
Watch related video report from VOA's Zlatica Hoke:
The 50-year-old Gilkey, on assignment for the U.S.-based National Public Radio, was an award-winning photographer and video editor. NPR described him as one of the first unescorted journalists to enter Afghanistan after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks on the United States.
He also covered the 2008-2009 conflict in the Gaza Strip between Israel and Hamas, known widely as the Gaza War, as well as the aftermath of the devastating earthquake that struck Haiti in early 2010.
Afghan media described 38-year-old Tammana as a native of northern Afghanistan who lived In Kabul with his wife and three children.
The U.S.-based Committee to Protect Journalists says 24 journalists and one media worker have been killed since the U.S. response in October 2001 to the Sept. 11, 2001, al-Qaida attacks on the United States. Those numbers do not include Gilkey or Tammana.

Listen to the release here: https://avaion.lnk.to/callmyname
After an immense year that often saw AVAION at the centre of the party, it was the moments of quiet and solitude that inspired the multi-faceted producer’s first musical offering of 2024, ‘Call my name.’ Out now on Sony Music.
Written in the remote snowy caps of the Austrian mountains, the serene surroundings have evidently left an impact on AVAION’s delicate approach to ‘Call my name’ with minimalism becoming the focal point of the track’s ambient progression. Careful thought has gone into each hand-picked chord that forms the impressionable melody and remains a constant from start until finish. Building out the layers, AVAION masterfully utilises only what is necessary so that no single element of the composition goes unheard.
Never one to mask his emotions, AVAION’s internal dialogue is laid bare on ‘Call my name’ as he vocalises the angst of feeling weak and vulnerable to another being. Yet, true to his craftsmanship, a soundscape that could be perceived melancholic on paper, is uplifted with a steady drum kick that drives a forward-moving motion and a calming sense of hope.
With each year comes ever-growing momentum behind the AVAION name and 2024 is set to raise expectations once again. Just a few short weeks before the release of ‘Call my name,’ AVAION unveiled his debut solo tour ‘For the Vibes’ which will commence in May. Travelling to clubs across major European cities including, Milan, Berlin, Amsterdam and more, and reaching even more fans who have continuously supported AVAION on this incredible journey so far.

[Editor’s Note: Sign up link follows at the end of this article.] I want to take a brief break from discussing the finances of The Boyd Group to ask all of you a serious question. Are you attending NACE this year? If you are not, you should be. The success of your business and investments[…]
For the past few weeks we have been talking about The Boyd Group (“Boyd”), one of the largest collision and glass repair business in the world. Headquartered in Winnipeg, Canada, Boyd operates under three main trademarks; Boyd Auto Body and Glass in Canada, Gerber Collision and Glass in the U.S. and Gerber National Glass Services, a network of over 3,000 independently owned glass repair and replacement businesses across the U.S. Boyd is the largest pure-play collision repair business in the world by number of locations, and one of the largest in terms of sales.
This week we are going to look at Boyd’s fiscal year 2014 Balance Sheet, or more formally the Consolidated Statement of Financial Position. The balance sheet, unfortunately, is one of the more overlooked financial statements in the industry. For many, it is a statement relegated to year-end tax planning and rarely, if ever, analyzed throughout the year. But understanding and managing a balance sheet is one of the core tenets of corporate finance.
Regardless if your goal is to grow, sell, or stand pat, balance sheet management is critical to your business. […]
Last week we discussed the Boyd Group Income Fund (“Boyd”), specifically the Fiscal Year 2014 Income Statement, and how it is both similar and different to the income statements of other operators in the industry. In 2014 Boyd generated an impressive $844 million in sales but reported a net loss of over $15 million. Many in the industry mistakenly assume that because the company operates at a net loss it is only able to remain in business through the benevolence of Wall Street banks. The reality is that Boyd, while operating at a net loss, generates substantial cash for shareholders. And when adjusting for certain accounting idiosyncrasies unique to the legal structure and location of the firm, the company generates a respectable profit. To understand how this is possible is to understand the difference between cash and accrual accounting*, and more generally, how to use corporate finance to drive systemic growth.
*See the footnote at the end of this article for a further explanation of cash vs. accrual accounting.
While Boyd generated a significant net loss on an annual basis, it also generated substantial cash from collision and glass operations. […]
Over the next few weeks we will be discussing the Boyd Group Income Fund (“Boyd”), one of the world’s largest collision repair operators. As of the date I’m writing this, Boyd owns and operates 340 collision repair facilities in North America under the names Boyd Autobody & Glass in Canada and Gerber Collision & Glass in the U.S. (amongst other co-branded names such as Champ’s Collision Centers and Craftmaster Auto Body). Boyd also has a significant retail auto glass operation in the U.S. The company trades as a unit trust on the Toronto Stock Exchange and has an enterprise value of over a $1 billion (all values are in Canadian dollars unless otherwise indicated). Enterprise value is the total value of the company, including net debt (total debt – cash) and equity.
Because Boyd is publicly traded, it is required to file quarterly and annual reports outlining the financial performance of the company. Every three months the company files a report that includes an income statement (also called a Statement of Profit/Loss or a profit and loss statement), a balance sheet (also called a Statement of Financial Position), and a statement of cash flows. It also includes a rather lengthy section of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements where management discusses the results along with numerous footnotes further explaining the results from operations. You can access Boyd’s recent financial reports on their investor relations website.

TEL AVIV (Aug. 29)
The Israeli shekel was devalued Tuesday by about 0.8 percent, as the Bank of Israel adjusted to an unusually high demand for foreign currency, sparked by rumors that a larger devaluation was imminent.
Official demand for U.S. dollars outstripped supply by $73 million Tuesday, forcing Israel’s central bank to make a “rate adjustment” Wednesday that brought the official exchange rate to 2.015 shekels to the dollar.
Few economic analysts put much stock in Finance Minister Yitzhak Moda’i’s claim that Tuesday’s adjustment was the final monetary move contemplated. In fact, the Bank of Israel is widely expected to devalue the shekel another 7 to 12 percent shortly.
One analyst was quoted by Israel Radio as saying, “The finance minister is one of the few officials allowed to lie in public, to cover up his real thoughts and plans.”
Moda’i held lengthy meetings Tuesday with his senior advisers on the economic plan he is to present to the government. Its goal appears to be a quick increase in government revenues to offset deficit spending in the wake of the massive Soviet immigration and events in the Persian Gulf.
The measures contemplated are said to include the rumored devaluation, a reduction in the minimum wage, cuts in subsidies on basic items, an increase in the Value-Added Tax from 16 to 17 percent, higher cigarette taxes, higher luxury taxes, accelerated sale of government-owned companies and cuts in employer taxes.

The day after a Winter storm dumped several inches on Bryce Canyon National Park, I found myself battleing the extreme (-28F) cold to take some images of the Park’s Amphitheater.
This image was captured my first full day in the park, just hours after the snow storm had ended. I headed first to some of the more popular lookout points where the hoodoos of Bryce Canyon are easily viewed; thankfully these lookout points also provide some of the best spots to take pictures. Despite the cold, there were quite a few people out that morning.
Fighting against the wind, I worked my way around the rim of the Amphitheater for a while, watching the sun rise above the nearby mountains and begin to cast its golden rays onto the red and orange hoodoos below. The long shadows cast by the low sun, the golden hues that looked warm and inviting, and the lush green of the trees, all belied the extreme cold permeating the region that morning.
While I didn’t enjoy the extreme cold, I’m glad that my first experience in Bryce Canyon occurred just as fresh snow covered the park. I can only imagine how beautiful the park must look in Spring and Fall, but seeing it with fresh snow was a pure delight and photographers dream.

Washington DC: Selena Gomez deleted the last photo of Justin Bieber from her Instagram. The picture was a birthday shout out to Bieber and was posted last year.
"March 1, 1994 someone I knew that happens to be super cool was born. Boom" she wrote in the caption.
The picture featured the `can`t get enough` singer balancing a photographed of Bieber on her nose, People reported.
Bieber and Gomez dated on-and-off for about three years, but broke up in 2014. They reconciled later in November 2017 when they were spotted kissing at one of his hockey games.
A few months later in March 2018, they decided to take a break from each other for a while.
However, not long after that, Bieber was spotted hanging out with his new lady love Hailey Baldwin. The two secretly got married at a New York City courthouse in September last year.
Bieber and Baldwin are set to tie the knot for the second time in a ceremony in front of their friends and families.

NEWBURGH – Thousands of people from the Mid-Hudson region came to honor the life and service of former Army Lieutenant Colonel and 39th District State Senator William Larkin, Wednesday evening, at a wake held in the center for his namesake at the Newburgh Armory Unity Center.
Larkin passed away at the age of 91, serving his community until the very end.
Larkin, who had joined the U.S. Army when he was 16, served for over 20 as an Army officer, then as an assemblyman and senator, finally contributing his last year to the City of Newburgh within the Kaplan Armory Unity Center, a portion of which was dedicated to himself and his wife Pat.
Newburgh City Councilman Anthony Grice said he was totally dedicated to the community.
“His service to the City of Newburgh has been insurmountable,” Grice said
Throughout his 40 years of public service, and 20 plus years of military service, Larkin was known as a man of the people and someone willing to take on those who would follow behind him in his effort to serve the greater community.
Whether it was taking on medical marijuana rights for families with members suffering from seizures, or making sure the National Purple Heart Hall of Honor had enough eyes on it, Larkin was an individual of action, never letting something fall by the wayside.
Andy Komonchak, the special projects coordinator at Newburgh Armory Unity Center, said Larkin was not one to procrastinate.
“If he taught me one thing, it was if you’re going to do something – do it now,” said Komonchak. “If I said, x-y-z called and we’re wondering should we do this, he didn’t say, ‘Well, we’ll look at it tomorrow,’ He would pick up the phone and call whoever was involved and make things happen and get them done. He definitely didn’t put anything off.”
Larkin worked with youth at the Armory Unity Center, up until his passing.

Last night Andrew and I tried to go to the new Mexican place very near our house. The old Mexican place very near our house was terrible. Our hope is that the new place will be great and we can walk to and from dinner to burn off some of the chips and queso.
The restaurant was closed, and there were no hours posted. There was a menu, and it had breakfast items, so perhaps it's a breakfast and lunch place.
Undaunted, we went to a big chain Mexican place. There were two vegetarian options. The author of the book that turned me vegetarian said that there will always be one vegetarian option on a restaurant's menu. Don't think too much about it; just order it. That's become my motto.
I ordered the spinach quesadilla, which came with beans and rice. The server asked me if I was vegetarian, and then said, "The beans have pork in them and the rice is cooked in chicken stock."
I'm afraid my mouth stayed open for awhile. She kindly told me the only two sides not cooked in meat, and that's what I had.
I had to talk myself down from a full-blown freakout though. I eat at Mexican restaurants a lot. I've never asked about their rice and beans because, well.... they're RICE and BEANS. I cook my rice and beans with water.
Now I'm wondering if I need to announce to every server at every restaurant that I'm vegetarian and specifically ask if the things I'm ordering have somehow been coupled with animal.
It's frustrating. I don't like drawing attention to myself.
That's all I have to say about that.


Microsoft Teams is now available for Linux users in public preview, Microsoft announced Tuesday, a move that makes Linux the first Microsoft Office app coming to Linux desktops.
Linux will support all of Teams’ core functions, including chat, video meetings, calling, collaboration on documents and other business processes.
In a blog post, Microsoft said most of its customers already have device running on a variety of platforms like Windows 10, Linux and others.
“We are committed to supporting mixed environments across our cloud and productivity offerings, and with this announcement, we are pleased to extend the Teams experience to Linux users,” Microsoft wrote. “It’s also an exciting opportunity for developers who have built apps for Teams to be able to grow their reach to this new set of users.”
Linux users can download native Linux packages in .deb and .rpm formats.
Microsoft said it has been working with customers over the past few months to help streamline their collaboration using the Teams client for Linux.
The blog cited an example from Volvo Cars, which said its Linux users have been stuck on a “collaboration island” using different unofficial and unsupported clients for Skype for Business and recently Teams.
“With Teams for Linux from Microsoft, we have been able to leave that island and collaborate across our different platforms with the full functionality of a rich client,” said Jimmy Beckman, a service manager at Volvo. “If I should point out one thing, being able to participate in screen sharing is a huge improvement for the Linux users at Volvo Cars.
In a statement, Jim Zemlin, executive director at The Linux Foundation, called 2019 an incredible year in open source with the operating system at the heart of the growth and innovation.
With this announcement, Microsoft is bringing its hub for teamwork to Linux,” he said. “I’m thrilled to see Microsoft’s recognition of how companies and educational institutions alike are using Linux to transform their work culture.”

Video terminals not yet gushing money for governments
Gamblers wagered an estimated $458.3 million and won $422.6 million in the first six months of legalized video gaming in Illinois, according to preliminary figures from the Illinois Gaming Board.
But the big bucks have yet to roll in, say supporters. Social costs, opponents respond, will far outweigh that extra tax revenue.
The state of Illinois collected $7.3 million as its share of gambling revenue through the first six months, based on the early results from the gaming board and the Illinois comptroller’s office. The city of Springfield collected $58,762 and has another $34,657 pending.
Machine owners and operators statewide shared $36.4 million of net income, according to the state figures.
Gaming revenues after payouts are taxed at 30 percent under state law, with five-sixths of the proceeds going to a state capital-project fund and one-sixth to local governments. The law also requires at least 80 percent of wagers be paid out.
“We’re putting them in as quick as possible,” Illinois Gaming Board spokesman Gene O’Shea said Friday of progress on installatoin of gambling terminals.
Just over 4,400 terminals were in operation statewide as of March 7, said O’Shea. He said the board does not set specific goals for revenue or terminal numbers.
“They (licensees) have to get the ball rolling. We’re meeting the demand,” said O’Shea.
Video gaming eventually could raise $345 million to $640.6 million a year for the state, according to a 2012 estimate from the Illinois Commission on Government Forecasting and Accountability.
But the estimate was based on 45,000 to 65,000 terminals statewide, each earning an average $70 to $90 a day, said commission revenue manager Jim Muschinske.
“We’re far from knowing what the outcome is going to be for video gaming,” said Muschinske.
Video gaming revenue flowing into the state capital improvement fund has doubled and tripled by the month, said Muschinske, but he said not much could be read into the early trends.
Muschinske said the newness also could wear off.
“People are always excited when they see something new,” he said. “The per-machine values might not hold up.”
The relatively small share of revenue for local governments in the first six months is but a sign of things to come, said Anita Bedell, executive director of Illinois Church Action on Alcohol & Addiction Problems.
“They’re telling them (local governments), you’re going to make $500,000 a year,” said Bedell. “The only way they are going to make that is if the city’s inundated with gambling.”
Even if revenues were to meet expectations, said Bedell, the numbers fail to reflect the cost of gambling addiction and related social ills.
“The problem is they focus on revenue, and they don’t consider the cost to the community,” said Bedell. “The owners and the establishments are the big winners. The residents and communities are losers.”
Not counting the money
About 70 video gaming terminals operating in Springfield, mostly at taverns and convenience stores, the state report showed. Dozens more license applications are pending.
Springfield’s revenue from video gambling also goes into a fund for street, sidewalk and other capital improvements, said city budget director Bill McCarty.
“The administration wanted it to be dedicated solely to infrastructure,” said McCarty. “The money flows in and it flows out.”
McCarty said city officials also have avoided revenue projections from video gambling. Springfield is well ahead of other area communities in tax collections, though local gambling did not start until November.
“It’s still brand new,” said McCarty. “Nobody’s been doing it long enough to know. When we do projections, we have to have something to go on.”
Tim Landis can be reached at 788-1536. Follow him at twitter.com/timlandisSJR.
Springfield, Jacksonville, Taylorville and Hillsboro were among early communities to allow video gambling. Here are the number of operating terminals and revenue collected to date:
*Springfield: 70; $58,572.
*Jacksonville: 54; $27,634.
*Taylorville: 25; $17,650.
*Hillsboro: 5; $2,155.
