EFFICIENCY AND EMISSIONS IN MIND FOR UPGRADED JCB JS300 EXCAVATOR
JCB EXCAVATORS- DISCOVER THE DIFFERENCE
Purchase a JCB JS130, JZ140, JS200, 220X or 245XR excavator and get EXTENDED Premier Cover Warranty 3 Year/6000 Hour for FREE!*
JCB Construction Equipment Australia (CEA) has released the new JS300 – bringing rugged durability to their JS excavator range.
JCB CEA National Excavator Product Manager, Deon Cope, says that the new machine calls upon JCB’s sound manufacturing reputation to give it unparalleled strength in its class.
“The JS300 incorporates the tried and true elements of other JCB models to create a superstructure that comes with all the improvements and benefits of our larger range, but in a more compact body.”
Built to last
The hydraulic tank on the new JS300 has maximum sight gauge capacity of 238 litres – an increase of 40% – that allows the machine to work in the most extreme conditions and temperatures.
“This machine has been built with Australian conditions in mind. It can withstand the hottest and harshest environments, reach peak performance when faced with demanding jobs,” said Deon.
The body is equipped with a house frame, service bay doors and latches that add longevity and durability, and give longer life to all machine components; while the box section side frames add strength to help localise any external forces from damaging the product.
The key components of larger JCB excavators have been used in building this new model, including the JCB DieselMAX 672 Engine, the 590L fuel tank and the increased hydraulic tank capacity.
“These new components all come together to create a machine that is strong and versatile. This machine truly is an all-rounder, making it an ideal fit for the owner/operator or for rental,” said Deon.
25% more fuel efficient
The JS300 excavators are using the JCB Dieselmax 672, bringing increased fuel efficiency and a fuel consumption reduction of up to 10 litres per hour, compared to the externally sourced Japanese engines used in earlier models.
The fuel tank on this model has been upgraded to 590L capacity, delivering a 4.6% upgrade over its predecessor to allow longer run times without stopping to refuel.
“One of the best ways to get the most value from your machines is through fuel economy,” explained Deon. “It significantly increases your service intervals and reduces down time so you can get jobs done faster and more efficiently.”

After sliding heavily from the $500 current fair value consolidation level on April 25 on more news out of China, and more of the same on April 28, the Bitcoin market has been on a volatile but pivotal ride. Following the last slide down to the $425 level BTC has shown excellent strength with reducing volatility, with the emphasis on the bid side of the market with much improved bullish sentiment.
Supporting the improved sentiment and market strength has been a continuation of positive news.
Over the last couple of days following the bashing the exchange rate suffered at the hands of yet more news out of China, BTC has produced an impressive performance against a backdrop of reducing volatility, orders favouring the bid side and above all breaking through resistance at $452.
If the exchange rate can continue to trade above $452 while maintaining its current strength, it is well positioned to begin reclaiming the ground lost due to the China news back towards the all important $500 level. Had it not been for the latest news out of China, which really was nothing new and almost looks like manipulation, then Bitcoin may well have concluded its consolidation around $500 and embarked on the next phase of the long term bull market.
If the exchange rate can continue to trade above the $452 level for a couple more days, $452 will become a support level as a platform to regain $500 and a further round of consolidation.
Contingent on this will be no further negative news out of China, and a continuing flow of positive news. It looks increasingly unlikely that China can exert much more influence over the market generally. The original position of the Peoples Bank of China has been totally consistent throughout, that banks cannot accept deposits relayed to Bitcoin and that Bitcoin will not be banned in China. It is the exchanges that have chosen to disregard these rulings and then forced to react when ordered to by PBoC. It is these reactions from exchanges that have caused the price hits, when in fact it should have had no effect at all.
The positive news continues with financial data giant Bloomberg now quoting BTC on their massive network of terminals feeding the major financial centres around the world. This is a huge endorsement of Bitcoin as a valid and credible financial instrument in its own right before thousands of financial institutions and professionals. The effect of this could be extremely positive for Bitcoin going forward as investment funds of all types look to include BTC in portfolios, and when these funds buy, they do so in serious volume which can only move the market upwards.
In a further surprise but welcome statement, Larry Summers, once the front running candidate to become Chairman of the Federal Reserve and advisor to President Obama, has warned "not to write off Bitcoin saying:
I’m not ready to stand with those who are sure they have seen the future here, but it seems to me that it’s a serious mistake to write this off as either ill-conceived or illegitimate.
It seems to me that the people who confidently reject all the innovation here are on the wrong side of history.
I am much more confident that the world of payments will look very different 20 years from now than I am about how it will look.
While this is not an endorsement of Bitcoin per se, it is sending a very strong message that to ignore or dismiss Bitcoin would be extremely unwise, because history has shown that the future is unknown and can develop in very unexpected ways. This is particularly true with the global financial system on the brink of collapse, at which point the world will be seeking better alternatives.
And these are just a notable sample of the continuing news that can only be regarded as extremely positive for the future of Bitcoin. Once the market puts China behind it and begins to embrace all the positive news and developments for the future of Bitcoin, then the market will surely resume its long term bull run over the next few years.
For now, the market needs to get over China, realise what exceptional value BTC has become against an extremely over-sold position, and focus on regaining the $500 level to form a base for a resumption of the long term bull market which has barely got started yet.
Bitcoin Market Outlook
$500 has become a crucial target for the exchange rate for a number of reasons. Aside from being current fair value and accordingly a major week long consolidation level prior to the latest China effect , it remains not only the consolidation level where a base can be formed as a platform for the next phase of the long term bull market, but most importantly will also have broken the 3 month down-trend. All of these factors combined make $500 a crucial target for Bitcoin to regain in the near future.
For the immediate future we are looking for the exchange rate to trade above the previous resistance of $452 against a backdrop of low volatility and continued emphasis on the buy side of the market. The market ability to do this will largely depend on continued bullish sentiment and a willingness to put China behind it, instead focussing on the ongoing flow of very positive news.

By its nature and openness, Educational charity is accessible to everyone who cares to access such programs. However, by its primary design and intention, the concept is meant for the poor and the underprivileged. It is a selfless and non profit oriented self empowerment service to the poor through educational measures as might be considered appropriate for a particular locality and its populations.
It is believed that the primary cause of hunger and disease is poverty. Illiteracy/ ignorance remain the most identifiable leading cause of poverty. The most challenging problem of illiteracy among the poor is not that they are illiterate; the most challenging problem is that they are completely incapacitated from helping themselves to overcome their illiteracy due to low or complete lack of the needed resources for such basic life enhancing goal. In this case the poor and the less privileged would need to access some kind of charitable interventional approaches that will help them to come out of their problem of illiteracy/ignorance. In this case educational charity remains the best possible option to empower the poor and the underprivileged to overcome poverty, hunger and disease.
Hence, if our concept of discussion is primarily designed to cater for those who cannot cater for their self empowerment through educational measures including skill acquisition, training for service, productivity and self sustenance, awareness and knowledge then, it is the poor populations of the world that need it most. In this case closer attentions needs to be given to the populations of the thirds world nations where poverty prevails most including Africa, Asia and the South America.
However, enlightenment or awareness creation concept, educational charity is meant for all. For example, in cases of counselling and care giving for HIV victims and other such and similar cases, this concept of charity is useful to all class of populations in the society depending on individual choices. So in designing a programme in this regard, there is the needed to be broadminded. Again, there is also the need for the privileged class within the poor circles to appreciate the fact that in some cases what are meant for the poor are necessarily for others classes in cases where such access is lacking.

Between the Chalk and the Sea
An old map. A lost pilgrimage route. A journey in search of our walking heritage.
When Henry VIII banned pilgrimage, he ended not only a centuries-old tradition of walking as an act of faith, but a chance to discover the joy of walking as an escape from the burdens of everyday life. Much was lost when these journeys faded from our collective memory, but clues remain. On an antique map in Oxford’s Bodleian Library, a faint line between Southampton and Canterbury suggests a significant, though long-forgotten, road. Renamed the Old Way, medieval pilgrims are thought to have travelled this route to reach the shrine of Thomas Becket.
Over four seasons, winding 240 miles between the chalk hills and shifting seascapes of the south coast, Gail Simmons walks the Old Way to rediscover what a journey on foot offers us today. Described as England’s Camino, this long-distance footpath links prehistoric earthworks, abandoned monasteries, Saxon churches, ruined castles and historic seaports. Blending history, anthropology, etymology and geology, Gail reveals the rich natural and cultural heritage found on our own doorstep.

“I loved this memoir - centuries of stories captured in the chalk, all told through the prism of one life.”
— Raynor Winn, author of The Salt Path
“A stunningly evoked, sensitively drawn journey into a part of England that feels both ancient and entirely new. Such is the subtle power and lightly worn erudition of Gail Simmons' writing.”
— Sophy Roberts, author of The Lost Pianos of Siberia
“As she follows a long-lost pilgrimage route, Gail Simmons finds a whole new way of looking at a familiar landscape. Every footstep is steeped in history, every path is imbued with the traces of all those who came before.”
— Neil Ansell, author
“Few books change the way you see familiar landscapes: this is one of them. A sacred, humble and rewarding journey, like the pilgrimage itself ”
— Ben Rawlence, author of The Treeline
“A brilliantly modern take on one of the oldest of literary genres - the pilgrimage narrative. Gail Simmons walks a long-forgotten trail, and along the way encounters places, people and a myriad of obstacles. This is no ordinary walk, but one with a purpose: to discover the meaning of what it means to be British in these troubled and disjointed times.”
— Stephen Moss, author & naturalist
“An old route for pilgrims is given new and vivid life through Gail Simmons as a solo woman walking. A compelling blend of history and nature writing that is a gift to all of us who love this iconic stretch of chalk cliffs and downland.”
— Tanya Shadrick, author of The Cure for Sleep

The present article discusses amendment proposed by Finance Bill (No. 2) 2009 regarding provisions of Dispute Resolution Panel (DRP) and deduction u/s. 80-IB(10).
Though the provisions relating to Dispute Resolution Panel are not a complete code for full and complete resolution of dispute referred to it, it is a step in right direction. Litigation is time consuming and it has been demand of AIFTP from time to time that Law must provide for Alternative Dispute Resolution mechanism for settling of dispute at the option of the assessee. In his editorial in the month of June 2009, our revered Chief Editor has reiterated the same demand and we are happy that Hon’ble Finance Minister has made a beginning in the said direction.
2. Dispute Resolution Panel (DRP)
Finance Bill (No. 2) 2009 proposes to insert new section 144C and amend provisions of Ss. 131, 246A, and 253 to introduce a new scheme for Dispute Resolution.
2.1. What is DRP
DRP is a Collegium of three Commissioners of Income Tax (CIT) to be constituted by the Central Board of Direct Taxes (CBDT) for the purpose (S. 144C(16)(a)). A body of three CITs would be constituted by the CBDT to decide specified issues. CBDT will also make Rules for functioning of DRP (S. 144C(14)).
2.2. Eligible assessees
2.2.1 S. 144C(16)(b) provides the class of assessees who would be entitled to and be subject to process of DRP. The Scheme proposes that process of dispute resolution would apply only to two specified class of assessees. Maybe with time and experience gained, the category of cases that may be referred would be widened. The two class of assessees specified as eligible assessee’s are as follows:
i) Any person in whose case TPO has passed order u/s. 92CA(3) varying its income, and ii) any foreign company.
2.2.2 S. 92C gives power to Assessing Officer to vary price in any international transaction entered into by an assessee by applying arm’s length price for the transaction and determine total income chargeable to tax under Income-tax Act, 1961 accordingly. Under section 92CA, the AO may refer the matter of determination of arm’s length price for an international transaction to Transfer Pricing Officer (TPO) and order passed by the TPO on reference would be binding on the Assessing Officer. The CBDT has by an administrative circular fixed monetary limit for cases in which Assessing Officer may determine arm’s length price himself without reference to TPO and when reference has to be made to TPO. As only in cases where order is passed by TPO u/s. 92CA(3) would be referred to DRP, cases where variation in arm’s length price for an international transaction, in case of an assessee other than a foreign company, is carried out by Assessing Officer without reference to TPO, such variation would not be subject to proceedings under S. 144C.
2.3. When to be referred to DRP
2.3.1 Sub section (1) provides that in every case of eligible assessee, the Assessing Officer shall make a draft assessment order, if he proposes to vary income to prejudice of eligible assessee. Though eligibility is only if order is passed by TPO u/s. 92CA(3) or in case of a foreign company, once variation is proposed, all issues would be before the DRP. Any decision in assessment which would be prejudicial to eligible assessee would be subject matter of draft assessment order and therefore will be referred to DRP.
2.3.2 Sub-section (2) provides that an assessee served with the draft assessment order may either file objection with both the DRP and the Assessing Officer on the draft assessment order within thirty days of receipt of such order or file his acceptance for proposed variations with the Assessing Officer.
2.3.3 The case is referred to DRP only if the assessee files objection within thirty days. If assessee files acceptance with Assessing Officer for the proposed variations or does not file objections with DRP within thirty days, then under sub- section (3), the Assessing Officer shall pass assessment order on the basis of draft order.
2.3.4 If objection is not filed with DRP within prescribed time or assessee accepts variation, case will not be referred to DRP but Assessing Officer has to pass final assessment order on the basis of draft order.
Whether assessee can opt not to refer the case to DRP
2.3.5 Question arises as to whether the assessee has an option not to refer the case to DRP and yet object to the variation proposed. In my opinion, the assessee can opt not to refer the case to DRP and yet object to variations proposed by the Assessing Officer. The assessee can file objections with the Assessing Officer after period of thirty days but before due to date of passing the assessment order. As objections are not filed within thirty days with DRP, case does not get referred to DRP. Though the Assessing Officer has to pass orders on the basis of draft order but regular appeal to Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) u/s. 246A is not barred. Appeal to Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) is barred only in case where assessment order is passed in pursuance of directions of DRP and not otherwise.
Whether assessee can file further submissions and evidences with DRP after filing of objections
2.3.6 The assessee has to file objections to DRP within specified time of thirty days and the same may not be sufficient in all cases. Case is referred to DRP only if assessee files objection to draft order with DRP within thirty days of receipt of draft order and there is no provision for extension of time. In case of scarcity of time, the assessee may file grounds of objections within prescribed time and later file further submissions before or during the course of hearing granted by DRP. Sub-section (11) provides for opportunity for hearing and sub- section (6) provides that DRP shall issue directions after considering the objections filed by assessee and evidences furnished by the assessee.
2.4 Powers of DRP
Section 131 is proposed to be amended and DRP shall have all the powers granted to an income tax authority u/s. 131. Also under sub-section (7) of S. 144C, the DRP may itself make such enquiries or cause any further enquiry by any Income Tax Authority and report the result of such enquiry.
2.5 Orders of DRP
2.5.1 Sub-section (5) of S. 144C provides that the DRP may issue such directions as it thinks fit for the guidance of Assessing Officer to enable him to complete the assessment. Sub-section (10) provides that such directions will be binding on the Assessing Officer. The directions are binding only on the Assessing Officer and not on the assessee. Though no appeal is provided against the directions of the DRP, the assessee can file appeal against the assessment order passed in pursuance of such directions with Income Tax Appellate Tribunal.
2.5.2 Sub-section (8) provides that the DRP may confirm, reduce, or enhance the variation proposed in draft assessment order. The wordings are similar to S. 251 except that unlike the Commissioner of Income Tax (Appeals) the DRP cannot annul the draft assessment order. It has been further specifically provided that the DRP shall not set aside the proposed variation nor issue direction for further enquiry and passing of assessment order. Therefore the DRP has to pass a final order on the variation proposed and not set aside for further enquiry. It is a salutary provision inasmuch as finality will be given without prolonging the issue.
2.5.3 Issue arises whether the DRP can delve on its jurisdiction to deal with the issue or of reference of the case to it u/s. 144C. Any authority before which any legal proceedings are being prosecuted has the jurisdiction to decide whether it has jurisdiction to deal with the case. Though DRP does not have jurisdiction to annul the draft assessment order, it has jurisdiction and also the duty, on being issue being raised before it, to decide whether it has jurisdiction to issue directions u/s. 144C(5). In view of S. 292BB, it is essential that irrespective of whether the DRP disposes of objections as to its jurisdiction, the assessee raises objections to DRP’s jurisdiction, if it is of the view that the DRP does not have the necessary jurisdiction.
2.5.4 Sub-section (9) of S. 144C provides that in case of difference of opinion amongst members of the DRP, points shall be decided according to the opinion of the majority.
2.5.5 Sub-section (11) provides that before issuing directions which are prejudicial to the assessee, opportunity of being heard will be granted to the assessee. Similarly if the directions are prejudicial to the Assessing Officer, opportunity of being heard shall be granted to the Assessing Officer.
2.5.6 Sub section (6) provides that DRP shall issue directions under sub section (5) after considering the draft assessment order, objections and evidences filed by the assessee, enquiry made or caused to be made, reports of Assessing Officer, the TPO, or any other authority.
2.6 Time limits
2.6.1 No time limit has been prescribed for passing of the draft assessment order and in view of extension of time to pass assessment orders subsequent to passing the draft assessment order, draft assessment order shall have to be passed within time prescribed for passing of the assessment order u/s. 153.
2.6.2 If the assessee intends to object to variations in draft assessment order with DRP, it has to file objections with DRP and the Assessing Officer within thirty days of receipt of draft assessment order.
2.6.3 If assessee accepts the variation proposed in the draft assessment order or does not file objections with DRP and the Assessing Officer within thirty days of receipt of draft order, then under sub-section (3) Assessing Officer has to pass assessment order within one month from the end of month in which acceptance is received or time for filing objection expires.
2.6.4 The DRP has to issue directions under sub- section (5) within nine months of the end of month in which draft assessment order is forwarded to the assessee. The time limit starts from the month in which draft assessment order is forwarded by Assessing Officer irrespective of month in which order is served on the assessee and month in which objections are filed by the assessee.
2.6.5 The Assessing Officer shall pass assessment order within one month from end of month in which direction is received from the DRP.
No appeal has been provided against the directions issued by the DRP but appeal can be filed u/s. 253 against assessment order passed in pursuance of such directions with the Income Tax Appellate Tribunal. Appeal can be filed only by the assessee and department cannot file appeal against directions issued by DRP nor against the assessment order.
3. Amendment of provisions of S. 80-IB(10)
One is advised to look for pitfalls in carrying out any act by a saying: “Look before you Leap”. The spate of amendments following any new provision for exemption/deduction inspires one to give the same advice to law makers. S. 80IB(10) was enacted w.e.f. 1-10-1998 granting exemption to developer and builders developing a housing project if prescribed conditions are satisfied. The provisions have been amended from time to time and benefit of deduction of profits is available only in respect of housing projects commenced on or before 31-3-2007. As benefit is not available to projects commenced after 31-3-2007, one would not be unreasonable to expect that no legislative amendment would be made to the said provisions. But that is not to be. Two amendments have been proposed to provisions of S. 80-IB(10).
3.1 Size of residential unit
3.1.1 Clause (c) of S. 80IB(10) provides condition as to size of residential unit in eligible housing project. It provides that size of residential unit in a housing project in city of Mumbai and Delhi should not exceed 1000 sq. ft. and in any other areas is should not exceed 1500 sq. ft. Disputes have arisen as to whether condition is violated if a flat purchaser buys more than one unit either by himself or in names of his relatives and amalgamates the two flats. The department took the stand that size of residential unit after amalgamation of two or more units exceeds the prescribed size and the assessee contended that it has no control over units after sale and that it had constructed units within the prescribed sized.
3.1.2 Clause (e) is proposed to be inserted in S. 80-IB(10) with effect from 1-4-2010. It provides that not more than one unit shall be allotted to any person other than an individual. In case of sale to an individual, no other unit is allotted in the housing project to spouse or minor child of such individual or to an HUF of which such individual is a Karta or any person representing them. If project is consists of more than one building, the restriction is on second allotment in whole of the project and not only in the same building. Further, once the condition is violated deduction will be denied on whole of the project and not only profit from sale of flats in violation of the condition.
3.1.3 As amendment is w.e.f. 1-4-2010, in respect of projects completed on or before 31-3-2009 in respect of which deduction is claimed prior to A. Y. 2010-11, amendment will not apply. In respect of projects completed after the said date issue would arise as to whether condition can apply to projects which have already commenced.
3.1.4 If sale of flats in violation of condition prescribed by clause (e) is made after amendment then obviously condition is applicable. However, in cases where sale in violation of such condition has already been made prior to amendment, but deduction is claimed on or after A. Y. 2010-11, the department would contend that law as on first day of the assessment year would apply and therefore amended law would apply to claim u/s. 80-IB(10). It is possible to contend in reply to such a contention that law as on first day of assessment year is applicable subject to exceptions (See CIT vs. Laxman Singh (1986) 159 ITR 983 (Raj) and CIT vs. Nirmal Textiles (1997) 224 ITR 378 (Guj)). It can be contended that in case of 80-IB(10), as far as conditions for eligible project one has to look at provisions in the year in which project commenced and not when project is completed and deduction is claimed.
3.1.5 Such an amendment also amounts to violation of promise of deduction of profits and assessee may be able to claim that such an amendment violates principle of promissory estoppel and reliance can be placed on Motilal Padampat Sugar Mills P Ltd vs. State of Uttar Pradesh (1979) 118 ITR 326 (SC).
3.2 Deduction only to a developer and not to a contractor S. 80-IB(10) reads: “in case of an undertaking developing and building housing projects”. The intention of the Legislature is manifest in the opening para itself that deduction is allowable only to a developer. Issue has arisen in few cases about whether the deduction is allowable to a contractor; though the issue was more of interpretation of document of purchase of land, as to whether the assessee is a developer or a contractor and it has been largely undisputed that deduction is not allowable to a mere contractor. Explanation is proposed to be inserted with retrospective effect from 1-4-2001 to provide that benefit would not be available to an undertaking executing housing project as a works contract.

Is MySQL a good fit for replicating from several hundred point-of-sale database sites to a single database over a network that is not always reliable? This is an interim project as we are waiting for a decision that would replace all of our disparate POS systems with a single solution, however in the mean time the data has to be collected and analyzed.
replication is used to push data out, not pull it in. For example, it is common to have MySQL run a single master with multiple
, and it does not support a single MySQL instance running as a slave to multiple masters.
That being said, it depends on what you want to do. If you are looking for a central backup of multiple MySQL servers, you can run a single machine with multiple instances, each acting as a slave to an individual remote server.
If you want a central analysis machine without two-way replication (data just comes from the remote servers), you could script a process where each remote server ships data to the central machine, or makes it available for pulling. Then the data can be loaded into a central MySQL instance which is used for analysis.
If your systems are pretty disparate, you may need to find a common format like CSV and ship the data to the central server for loading using FTP, Rsync, or the like.

Hey, did you hear that? It sounded like every trombone in Michigan – any millions of others around the world – simultaneously playing the same four notes.
Tim Sassone of the Chicago Daily Herald reported late Tuesday night that Marian Hossa has a bum shoulder – or possibly a rotator cuff injury:
The severity of the injury is not known, although it is possible Hossa might need surgery, which could put him out of the Hawks lineup until December. The Hawks are monitoring Hossa while he rehabs the injury, believed to have been suffered during the playoffs.
As a human being and a former hockey player, I wish Marian well and hope for a speedy recovery with as little pain as possible through the rehabilitation process. But as Red Wing fan, I’d like to point and laugh.
Wyshynski snarks that Hossa was probably injured while shouldering the responsibility of picking the wrong team as favorites, but the comment of the day goes to Puck Daddy poster redwings55x, who says:
The article says something about him being injured in the playoffs. That can’t be right, I don’t even remember seeing him in the playoffs.
Pure gold, sir.

WASHINGTON — Wall Street is suddenly bullish on video-rental stores thanks in large part, to the growth of videogame and DVD titles on their shelves.
But the reasons for the vidstore renaissance are cause for growing concern among Hollywood studios: Vidgames and DVDs are reducing space allotted to VHS, still the most profitable format for Hollywood.
Vidgames have long been part of most rental stores’ biz, repping anywhere from 5% to 20% of revenue. But with the launch of hot new platforms from Sony, Nintendo and game-newcomer Microsoft, that percentage is likely to grow over the second half of this year and through 2002.
The new game platforms are designed to play movie DVDs as well, making them a natural vidstore fit.
Vidtailers are already moving to cash in on the synergy by reconfiguring stores to make room for added game inventory. Blockbuster is reportedly seeking a partner to develop mini game stores within its existing locations. To make room, the vidtailer is getting rid of some VHS catalog displays and cutting back on new releases.
Hollywood Video has opened some 60 Game Crazy locations inside Hollywood vidstores.
DVD movies, meanwhile, are providing a welcome kick to vidtailers’ bottom lines.
With lower wholesale prices than they typically pay for VHS cassettes, retailers are making fatter margins from renting DVDs. Even vidtailers who use rev sharing on VHS find DVD rentals more profitable.
According to financial data provided by Blockbuster, the retailer’s gross margin from renting DVDs is more than 70%, compared with about 60% for rev-sharing VHS. The more of its business it can shift into DVD, therefore, the better Blockbuster does.
In recent comments to analysts, Blockbuster chairman John Antioco said 50% of its shelf space will be filled by DVD next year. Some indie vidtailers have begun to experiment with DVD-only stores.
Since the first of the year, Blockbuster’s stock is up more than 200% and is now hovering around $20 a share. Once upon a time, that would have had parent company Viacom thinking spinoff, but recently, Viacom prexy Mel Karmazin made it known he intends to hold onto it.
No. 3 vidtailer Movie Gallery is up more than 300%, and is now trading at a 52-week high of over $11.
Even No. 2 chain Hollywood Video, which has lately been struggling just to stay solvent, has seen its stock get off the mat and climb back to $5 a share.
For the studios, however, more vidgames and DVDs mean less space for VHS.
The studios sell DVDs for about $15-$18 apiece. But they typically see $25-$30 apiece from rev-share VHS cassettes.
That’s prompted speculation that the studios will soon raise the price of DVDs to bring them more in line with VHS. That would allow them to set up DVD rev sharing with the big chains, preserving studio profits.
Some studios, however, particularly Warner and Sony, want to see DVD continue to grow as a sell-through item, and fear that higher prices could choke off that growth. Overall, they argue, the studios are better off selling as many DVDs as possible, even if that means smaller profits from vidstores. Besides, they figure, most DVDs are sold in places like Wal-Mart, where renting isn’t an issue.
But the situation is getting critical for the studios. DVD is pushing aside VHS faster than anyone expected, and it’s putting pressure on studio profit margins.
Maybe they should think about buying some Blockbuster stock to make up the difference.

Last year the youngest Junior Eurovision contest Mariam Mamadashvili won the day, making Georgia the most successful country at the Junior Eurovision Song Contest.
And on Tuesday Georgian Public Broadcaster (GPB) started its quest to find its home representative — who just might become the country’s fourth winner of JESC in 2017 — by making a public call for entries for its Junior Eurovision national selection.
Singers aged 9 to 14 from across the Republic of Georgia can take part. Singers are asked to send in their song submissions, a photo and a CV. They must also submit a song from their own repertoire to [email protected] by 1 September. There will not be a televised selection show — GPB will choose internally.
You can watch the official trailer and application call below.
Shine Bright is the slogan for this year’s Junior Eurovision Song Contest.
The 15th edition of the kids’ singing showdown will take place on 26 November inside the Tbilisi Sports Palace, as part of the country’s ongoing tourism and cultural project “Check-in Georgia”. The Georgian National Tourism Administration has committed around 2.1 million euros to help make the event a success.
After Mariam Mamadashvili won the 2016 edition in Malta last November, expectations were high that Georgia — a three-time winner of the contest — would finally get to host after being passed up in the past. With Mariam’s victory they’re having their moment in the sun — which is appropriate given that she sang “Mzeo”.

Florence is a city where the skies dance with the stars, where the streets are peppered with pedestrians, and where hearts are sent a flutter. It’s electric.
Ever since I was a twelve year old and earned pocket money, I was saving for a house. My goal was always to save $30,000 by the time I was twenty-three to have enough money for a deposit on a house or unit. I wanted a place to decorate on my own, a place to furnish my own and a place to make my own. I never wanted a car and I never considered travel high on my savings agenda. Even up until the night before I travelled to Italy in November of 2015, the house deposit was still my goal.
So I travelled, I came home, and the goal changed. The money that I have been saving since I was twelve, I’m now saving to travel back to Europe and spend time soaking up a world outside of my own. A car, its bills and its petrol will always be there. A house, its bills and its mortgage will always be there. When you travel, it becomes an infection. It stays with you forever with a crave to go somewhere foreign to where you have grown. Let’s talk about florence.
Florence is a city that I miss with all my heart. I’ve experienced a modified version of the emotion ‘fernweh’, an untranslatable german word defined as ‘being homesick for a place you have never gone.’ I’m homesick for a place on the other side of the world. Florence is a city of art, fashion and buildings upon buildings. The red-roofed homes and offices fill the sky over the Tuscan city and the sunsets hypnotising tourists and florentines alike.
On my second day in Florence, I climbed the Duomo with a travel companion, Charlotte. The view was indescribable. There’s a moment in the movie Monte Carlo where Selena Gomez stares out over France and simply exclaims ‘somebody pinch me.’ This was a moment not unlike that. We sat and, with Dean Martin playing on a speaker, soaked in the panoramic views of a city that captured our hearts. Out of our entire Italian adventure, that moment was the moment of the biggest wows.
Each night we were there, we stopped at the same gelateria and each purchased a cup of lemon and hazelnut gelato. We watched magenta sunsets over the Ponte Vecchio and walked along paved streets lined with Chanel, Longchamp and Armani. Our time was brief, but oh so beautiful.
Before cementing yourself to your comfort, seek more. Step outside your doorstep and see the glory of the globe. Seek the world.

I would have thought the iPad had the resources terms of processing power together with HD screen for game designers to take it as a serious gameing device. Take Need for Speed - the graphics is horrible compared to the PS3 version of the same title. The game mechanics also feels a lot different as in when you drive; it just does not have the same feel as when you play it on the PS3. So far I have found the iPad to be good for quirky games like Angry Birds, but not serious gaming.

Astorino, who unsuccessfully challenged Cuomo in 2014, held a press conference in Tarrytown at the Double Tree on Monday following Entergy's press conference of its own at the hotel to confirm it was closing the nuclear power plant in 2020 and 2021.
Unit 2 will shut down by April 30, 2020, and Unit 3 will shut down by April 30, 2021.
The closures come after Entergy reached a settlement agreement with New York State.
As part of the shutdown agreement, the state has agreed to drop all legal challenges against the plant.
"This lacks transparency," Astorino said. "It was three people in a room - the governor, Riverkeeper and Entergy. They got to cut a good deal for themselves while leaving tax and ratepayers to hold the bag. The joke is on us."
The economic impact of Indian Point's closure will be staggering, as the county and municipalities deal with the loss of tax revenue.
"New York State is chasing away a business that pays taxes so that taxpayers can end up footing the bill. The state is so backwards," said Astorino, who has not ruled out another run for governor in 2018. "We all have to make up the difference. The last middle-class person will have to turn off the lights."
The county receives $4 million from Entergy and $750,000 from a tax on nuclear power plants that pays for five employees.
"How do you make up that money with a property tax cap?" Astorino, who has pledged to not raise county taxes, said. "What happens when the money goes away and property values decline? It's a vicious cycle of exodus."
Astorino said Entergy was a major supporter of non-profits and he wished they had stayed in New York forever.
"It is very hard to do business in this state if you're getting beaten to death by the state," Astorino. "The governor has been antagonistic, so they cried uncle and gave up."
At an earlier press conference, Entergy blamed declining profits and lawsuits for the closure and said the state had nothing to do with it. Entergy had spent about $200 million on trying to get the plant's license renewed.
"The governor has to try and fix the problem that he's created," Astorino said. "We will never be made whole. This is not fairy dust, this is tax dollars he's dealing with."
If Indian Point is so unsafe, why did Cuomo live and raise his children in the area, Astorino wondered. He also said the governor was spending $10 billion to bail out upstate nuclear power plants.
"Are lives in the southern part of the state more precious?" Astorino said. "I have big concerns about this. We will work with our own elected officials, none of whom were at the table. Andrew Cuomo is not an expert on nuclear safety."
Astorino said he had spoken to Bill Mold, president of Entergy, but has not spoken to Cuomo. Astorino said he was not invited to Cuomo's State of the State address in Purchase Tuesday. They last spoke to each other in 2014.
County Legislator John Testa, whose district represents Indian Point, said the plant was safe and that Entergy has been a good neighbor to the community.
"The numbers just don't add up," Testa said. "Where is the power going to come from? Are we going to have brownouts like in California? This is devastating."
Testa said he had been receiving calls from concerned constituents since the announcement Friday afternoon and that he did not receive any information until Sunday night.
"People who live in this area don't even think about the plant," Testa said. "A lot of people work there. There are a lot of unanswered questions and I'm trying to get answers. I plan to get involved with the stakeholders and keep our residents up to date with the facts."
Michael Kaplowitz, chairman of the County Board of Legislators, said Entergy's plan to close the planet was more a "political manifesto."
"This is incomplete," Kaplowitz said. "Everyone is taking a stance and talking past each other. There are too many questions. If the plant is not profitable, why aren't they leaving today?"
Kaplowitz said the sour relationship between Cuomo and Astorino is not helping matters.
"They have made the issue much cloudier," Kaplowitz said. "We need to get more details."

‘Ferrari’s 2022 problems are easier to tighten than to make a slow car fast’
Former Formula 1 driver Marc Surer says he’d rather be in a position of needing to resolve Ferrari’s 2022 reliability and strategy woes than trying to make a slow car “fast”.
And if there’s one thing Ferrari had last season, that was a fast car, especially on Saturdays.
It was Sundays that let the team down as their woeful reliability meant they were forced to turn down the power unit, Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz also not helped by one too many strategy errors.
The good news for the Ferrari pairing is that their new team boss Fred Vasseur is confident the team has resolved the engine’s reliability issues, Ferrari rumoured to have found an extra 30hp in doing so.
That added pace coupled with the news on Thursday that Vasseur has made changes to the Scuderia’s strategy team will be a boost for his drivers. According to reports the Frenchman has decided to send Inaki Rueda back to the factory at Maranello with Ravin Jain taking over as the chief strategist.
As such Surer reckons Ferrari now have all the ingredients needed to take the fight to Red Bull.
“Ferrari can call on 30hp more this season,” the former F1 driver turned pundit told F1 Insider.
“Last season they had to turn down the engine due to reliability issues, especially in the second half. They seem to have solved the problem.
“On top of that, you had a very fast car, the mistakes were in the areas of strategy and pit stops. These set of screws are easier to tighten than to make a slow car fast.”

Helmut Marko hints at no sandbags even as early as Day One in pre-season testing
But while the 71-year-old is talking up Ferrari, he’s not so sure about Mercedes’ chance of challenging.
Last season the Brackley squad struggled with a porpoising W13 and while they are hoping this year’s W14 has addressed its predecessor’s problems, they have opted to retain the zero-pod design.
Surer applauds them for that, but reckons Mercedes’ hopes could rest with the FIA and the new-for-2023 raised floor edges.
“They are courageous in sticking to their concept,” he said, “after all they had big problems with bouncing.
“They were only able to deal with this extreme bottoming out of the chassis on the straight by raising the vehicle height, but losing speed as a result.
“What could help them now: According to the regulations, the underbody has to be higher.
“Nevertheless, I rate Ferrari more highly.”
As for the rest of the field, he says: “McLaren, Alpine, Sauber, AlphaTauri and especially Aston Martin are still difficult to rate at the moment. The tests will answer a few questions about the strength at the start of the season.
“Haas should actually beat Williams – unless Mercedes gives them more support than expected as a customer team.”
This season Williams’ charge will be led by former Mercedes man James Vowles with a lot of pressure on the Briton to return the Grove team to the front of the field.
But both Williams and Mercedes motorsport boss Toto Wolff have denied the new relationship will mean closer co-operation between Williams and Mercedes.

(Excerpts below. The article also includes some practical, Bible-based steps to repentance. Hope you can check them out :) )
True repentance means that we turn AWAY from sin and turn TO faith in Jesus.
Repentance means to turn around. A man might say, "I was headed for a cliff, but I repented. I turned around and went the other way and lived."
Repentance is more than just being sorry. It means that we turn around - we forsake our sinful thoughts and activities. It is not a burdensome thing, but rather, it is extremely lifegiving. When we repent, we step into who God has truly made us to be as we place our faith in Jesus.Who needs to repent? Paul, in Acts 17:30 says that repentance is for everyone...Turn around from the direction you were going and turn to Christ. Even Christians.
We all need to be in an attitude of repentance all the time. We never become so holy or perfect that we do not need to continually realign ourselves with God's work, will, and purposes taking place around us. Who do we think we are?
Well, I am here to confess that I need continual repentance. I need to consistently realign my life with God's will and purposes. I am not ashamed to admit that, because that is a place that I find refreshing, life giving, living water from Jesus. Sometimes it is difficult for us to admit that we need to keep turning our lives over to God, but it is true. And, there is life in recognizing the we still need a Savior each and every day.

And the 11th Circuit Court docket of Appeals found that he had satisfied that burden of proof. But, since the scheduled date of execution neared, a jurisdictional dilemma arose, and on April 11, two several hours before the scheduled execution, Price’s lawyers appealed into the Supreme Court docket to stay the execution and grant evaluation of your concerns while in the situation.

In Monday’s Value viewpoint, Justice Thomas, joined by Justices Samuel Alito and Gorsuch, wrote to rebut Justice Breyer’s three a.m. di sent from April twelve. Thomas related the brutal details of Price’s crimes after which went on to obstacle the eleventh Circuit’s finding that Alabama could have prepared to execute Selling price by nitrogen gas in lieu of deadly injection. “Even if the many machines had been available on Amazon.com” as Price tag alleged, claimed Thomas, “many details remained unanswered, particularly regarding the actual means of administering the gasoline and, critically, the security of your condition personnel administering it.” Conservative justices accuse defense attorneys of deliberate delays But the supreme place Thomas needed to make was that, in his see, Price’s attorneys experienced performed the proce s, intentionally delaying at each individual change, so that you can avoid the execution from likely forward. Price’s “strategy is not any solution, for it is the very same strategy adopted by quite a few death row inmates by having an impending execution: provide last-minute promises which will delay the execution, irrespective of how groundle s,” he reported. “Perhaps people who oppose funds punishment will rejoice the last-minute cancellation of lawful executions. But … by enabling the delay of petitioner’s execution on April 11, we worked a ‘miscarriage of justice’ on the Point out of Alabama, [and the victims on the criminal offense.]”Technology Supreme Courtroom Regulations Against Apple, As Kavanaugh Sides With Liberal Justices Thomas’ mantra of deliberate delay by death penalty legal profe sionals was echoed in two other thoughts, the two regarding the keep of execution that the court docket granted inside the scenario in the Buddhist lo s of life row inmate on March 28. Justice Alito, who had not previously mentioned his di sent, introduced a 14-page di sent in the court’s final decision to grant a continue to be of execution from the situation from the Buddhist, Patrick Henry Murphy. Alito claimed that Murphy’s attorneys should have acknowledged six years ago what the protocol was in Texas and should have challenged it then. And also whenever they failed to know in 2013, he explained, they unquestionably should have regarded through the time Murphy’s execution date was established previous November. Murphy’s lawyers did, in actual fact, search for authorization for his religious adviser to be current in the execution chamber, plus they blamed the condition for foot dragging with a reply. Alito discovered that rationalization seeking. “By some time they obtained around to filing in federal court, it was March 26, two times before the scheduled execution date,” Alito said. “If the ways of Murphy’s lawyers in cases like this usually are not inexcusably dilatory, it’s tough to understand exactly what the thought suggests.”World In Trump, Hungary’s Viktor Orban Contains a Scarce Ally During the Oval OfficeAlito noticed the court gets an software to remain almost every single execution. And, he mentioned, Jesse Davis Jersey these stay apps “are almost all submitted on or soon before the scheduled execution date; as well as in the nice majority of scenarios, no very good reason to the late submitting is apparent. By countenancing the dilatory litigation in such a case, the Court, I concern, will inspire this harmful practice.” Justice Brett Kavanaugh wrote separately for himself and Chief Justice John Roberts to differentiate amongst the Texas scenario involving Murphy, the Buddhist, whose execution was temporarily blocked from the court docket, as well as the Alabama scenario involving the Muslim, Domineque Hakim Ray, whose execution was permitted to go forward. Murphy, he mentioned, designed the correct equal-treatment a sert in courtroom, though Ray’s attorneys did not, leaving it to the appeals court docket to come up with that argument. And, disagreeing with Alito, Kavanaugh mentioned that 30 days ahead of his scheduled execution, Murphy adequately requested that his non secular adviser be allowed within the execution room which the condition dragged its toes in delivering a timely reply. This was the 2nd time Kavanaugh has opined over the Murphy scenario. In the event the court docket granted the stay of execution in March, Kavanaugh wrote a short concurring belief wherein he claimed that “in equivalent treatment situations of this variety,” the government has two choices: Both allow for all inmates to po se s a religious adviser of their religion inside the execution place or allow for all inmates to have a religious adviser only within the viewing area, but not the execution area. And he noted that states po se s a powerful protection fascination in controlling the execution chamber. On Monday, weighing in all over again, Kavanaugh was joined this time by the chief justice. Kavanaugh observed that five times after the March 28 stay of execution, Texas “changed its unconstitutional policy” to permit all spiritual ministers only inside the viewing home instead of within the execution home. “Put simply just, this Court’s stay facilitated the prompt resolution of a considerable religious equality difficulty along with the State’s execution protocol,” he wrote. Which, he extra, “should relieve any potential litigation delays or disruptions that normally might have happened.” Perhaps. But with tempers higher around the subject matter of your lo s of life penalty, disagreements profound, as well as situation centering virtually on lifestyle and dying, the truth is always that the justices of your Supreme Courtroom po sible will likely be back again in combat quickly on this topic.

Filmed at Shands (teaching) Hospital in Florida, this documentary validates the importance of the arts and expressive therapies in all aspects of health care, including medical education. Pediatric oncologist John Graham-Pole and poetry therapist John Fox -often as a team- work with patients of all ages in groups and at the bedside. Other physicians including a neuroscientist provide rational explanations of the release of endorphins and brain changes resulting from creative activities. Though the healing process initiated by the reflective act of writing poetry is ostensibly the focus of the film, the documentary is permeated with the transforming effects of dance and art therapies in their ability to lessen physical and emotional pain; the importance of healing environments, not just paintings in lobbies, but in patient created ceiling tiles and wall installations; and especially the warmth, intimacy and humanity generated by exemplary physician communication skills.
Summary:This survey of the history of women in medicine begins in the mid 19th century and moves forward to the late 20th Century. The twelve historical studies are divided by the editors into three sections, largely chronological. The first section focuses on the 19th century women best known for their breakthrough into the male bastion of regular medicine in America. There is, in addition to the more traditional studies, a look at the role of a Chinese woman physician in Progressive Era Chicago. Section two takes the reader into the early 20th century Womens' Health Movement, including a fresh look at the narrative forms of Our Bodies, Ourselves. Section three examines the mid-late 20th century position of women in American medicine and an interesting discourse on the impact of Western women physicians on issues of childbearing in Asia during the early part of the same century.
Paul Ehrlich (Edward G. Robinson) works as a hospital dermatologist, but his two passions are his family and his independent research into dyes and stains. When he abandons his call-duty to attend a lecture by Robert Koch, hospital officials have all they need to dismiss the annoying Jew. Koch, however, engages him to develop dyes to enhance the visibility of the newly discovered tubercle bacillus.
Ehrlich's health is broken by the research, but one success leads to another. With Emil von Behring (Otto Kruger), he works on a serum to save children with diphtheria. Moved by the anxiety of the mothers, he refuses to maintain untreated controls. His superiors are furious, but the state is grateful and he is awarded his own institute.
Ehrlich turns his attention to finding a "magic bullet" to treat syphilis, but his relationship with von Behring founders. Arsenic derivatives are endlessly modified until success is reached in 1910 with agent 606. A few deaths in treated subjects prompt Ehrlich's enemies to arrange a formal inquiry, but he is completely exonerated and reconciled with von Behring.
Summary:Intended to "spark a philosophical dialogue among readers and in classrooms, clarifying, refining, and challenging the ethical positions people hold on a great many bioethical topics"(1), Bioethics at the Movies contains 21 essays discussing bioethical issues, from abortion and cloning to disability narratives and end-of-life care, in relation to various films. The two dozen authors come from the United States, Spain, Australia, Israel and the United Kingdom, and the majority have their academic homes in Departments of Philosophy. For the most part, the essays use one particular film as a springboard to discuss a bioethical topic, such as terminating pregnancies (The Cider House Rules), marketing organs (Dirty Pretty Things), and memory deletion (Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind). Two films get a pair of essays (Gattaca and Million Dollar Baby), and several authors cover more than one film. In addition to the aforementioned films, Wit, Citizen Ruth, Bicentennial Man, I, Robot, Babe, Multiplicity, Star Trek: Nemesis, Ghost in the Shell, Dad, Critical Care, Big Fish, Soylent Green, Extreme Measures, Talk to Her, and Ikiru are closely covered.
Monica (Kay Francis) is a successful gynecologist about to open her own clinic, to be designed by Anna (Verree Teasdale), her architect friend. But she is desperate to have a baby and gravely disappointed to learn that a specialist cannot help. Her husband, John (Warren William), leaves for Europe having just decided to end a secret affair with their mutual friend, Mary (Jean Muir), an accomplished pilot. John does not know that Mary is pregnant.
Without revealing the name of her child's father, Mary appeals to Monica. At first, without ever mentioning the word, she asks for an abortion, which Monica firmly rejects, telling her that having a fatherless baby will be "lovely!" After a failed attempt at aborting herself through a deliberate riding accident, Mary accepts seclusion in a private clinic. Complications arise.
Just as Monica decides that she must perform a (never-to-be-explained) procedure to deliver the child, she overhears Mary calling for John and suddenly understands the situation. Like "a machine," she responds to Anna's slap and command that she fulfill her professional duties--yet she is cold to Mary and refuses to see the baby. She makes plans to go to Europe to prepare for her new clinic. But Mary leaves her baby on Monica's doorstep and flies her plane out over the Atlantic never to be seen again. With John's approval, Monica cancels her trip to adopt the infant; however, she does not tell her husband to whom the child was born.
This is the story of Betty, a 250-pound, 5-foot-2-inch woman who comes to the psychiatrist-narrator's office to be treated for her eating disorder. What makes the story more than the sad tale of a depressed, obese woman is the immediate disclosure of the narrator that he is "repelled" and "disgusted" by fat women, that his "contempt surpasses all cultural norms."
Nevertheless, he decides to treat Betty, who successfully manages to shed huge amounts of weight and come to terms with many of the problems leading to her obesity. The narrator, too, confronts his own excessive biases so that readers are left with a sense that Betty "helped" him too.
Summary:This collection of physician experiences, colored by the necessity of the writer to protect his patients, gives a glimpse into a medical practice of a time past-remembered by some of us, not known by our younger colleagues. Dr. Palmer, aka Harry Byrd, takes the reader into a rural setting and the practice of surgery bounded by the time and the place. Dr. Byrd, trained in Boston as a surgeon, chooses to practice in rural Maine and to work with the culture and needs of this environment. He treats the reader to a viewpoint of another era of medicine and, at some level, asks the readers to consider the lost or fading qualities of the pre-tech doctor/patient relationship.
Summary:Also called "Dr Péan Teaching His Discovery of the Compression of Blood Vessels at St Louis Hospital," the scene takes place in a room in which the walls are interrupted by tall windows. Daylight shines through the windows, illuminating an attractive naked young woman in the right foreground who lies seemingly anesthetized -- her eyes are closed although there is no sign of anesthesia -- on a bed of some kind that is draped loosely with sheets. Her body is pointing away from the viewer, her head facing away from us, her long hair falling casually over the near edge of the bed. Her breasts are fully visible, especially her right breast, while her lower body is covered. A seated man grasps the wrist of her bent right arm, perhaps taking her pulse. His hand and arm rest directly on the woman's body -- on her abdomen and groin area. He appears to be reading from a paper.
Summary:After several years as a firefighter, Paul Austin decided to return to school and become a doctor. Both his training as firefighter and a somewhat late start at medical school gave him an unusual perspective on his selected specialty-emergency medicine. The book chronicles a wide variety of surprises, learning moments, and challenges from his years in the emergency room. These are interspersed with vignettes about the interrupted home life of an emergency physician rotating into night duty three to four times a month. The pace is lively and the stories confessional in the best sense-rich with reflection on what he has learned, often at great cost to his resilient wife and three children, one with Down syndrome. A strong theme in the book is the importance of developing strategies for sustaining humanity and compassion even under intense pressure to be quick, clinical, and detached.
Summary:A Place Called Canterbury by social historian Dudley Clendinen, former New York Times national correspondent and editorial writer, provides readers with an intimate and revealing account of aging in a particular place at a particular time--Canterbury Tower in Tampa, Florida. The story about the author's mother, Bobbie--and so many others--begins in 1994, a few years after the death of James Clendinen, Bobbie's husband of 48 years, and known to the community as the progressive editor of the Tampa Tribune. Although she had been "falling apart, a piece here, a piece there...collapsing vertebrae...bent, frail, and crooked...subject to spells and little strokes...." (p. xii),
