The Government has announced plans to introduce a quarterly payment system from 1 January 2014 for companies eligible for the 45% refundable tax offset. There is currently no further information, and no rules have been released.
Yes, to claim a tax offset under the R&D Tax Incentive program, you must register your R&D activities with AusIndustry within 10 months of the end of the income year in which they were undertaken.
Like your income tax, the R&D Tax Incentive is a self-assessment program. As long as your company has lodged its annual registration and can substantiate its eligibility and entitlement, you can claim the tax offset as part of your income tax return. If you require certainty about your eligibility and entitlement, you can apply for an Advance Finding prior to registration.
To be eligible to claim the 45% refundable tax offset, your company (or company group) must have an annual turnover of less than $20 million and annual R&D expenditure of at least $20,000. Companies with an annual turnover of more than $20 million and meet the above criteria are eligible for a 40% nonrefundable tax offset.
In addition, the company must be either:
Trusts are generally not eligible – except if they are a public trading trust with a corporation acting as a trustee. Companies that are exempt from tax are also not eligible
Find out if your eligible here
There is no cap on the level of eligible R&D expenditure. Companies with annual turnover of less than $20 million can claim the 45% tax offset on all their eligible expenditure. Those with annual turnover of more than $20 million can claim a 40% tax offset on all their eligible expenditure.
Any business looking to introduce new or improved materials, products, devices, processes or services that have a technical edge or overcome a technical problem may be doing R&D. If that business is funding or creating new knowledge – or expanding existing knowledge – to provide this technical solution, then it is doing R&D. Therefore, this business may be able to claim the R&D Tax Incentive.
The R&D Tax Incentive is specifically designed to assist and encourage companies in the following sectors:
To claim the tax offset, your total R&D spend for the income year must be at least $20,000. There are some minor exceptions to this.
To claim expenditure on an activity conducted overseas, you must first obtain an Advance Finding that it is an eligible R&D activity. You must also obtain an Overseas Finding that such expenditure can be included in your claim. The application must be made in the first income year that the overseas activities are conducted.
The new program applies to activities undertaken in the income years starting on or after 1 July 2011. Applications to register activities undertaken in the 2011/12 income year open on 1 July 2012.
Like the previous R&D Tax Concession, the new R&D Tax Incentive aims to encourage Australian businesses to undertake more research, development and commercialisation activities – and thus make them more competitive, create and maintain jobs, and drive economic growth.
If you have further questions about the R&D Tax Incentive, please contact MJA

This chapter introduces the idea of "paradox" to make sense of the contingencies that make up Bangladesh's political modernity as well as the constitutive paradoxes of popular sovereignty. I introduce the Bangla term janata as a vernacular iteration of the concept of the crowd of social and political theory. Drawing on literary representations and scholarly work, the chapter shows why the crowd is the ethnographic object and analytical locus of the book. It sets the theoretical and conceptual stage for locating in the crowd the energy, agency, and indeterminacy of mass politics.
In chapter 1, I analyze a set of public texts in circulation during a state of emergency—letters published in newspapers, a national identification card, a controversial photograph. Doing so has two ends: First, the chapter expands on the impasse that South Asian democracies often experience when confronting the relationship between sovereignty and citizenship. In this logic, a repressive and undemocratic governmental apparatus is blamed for the underdeveloped political rationality of its citizens. For the same reason, sovereignty as domination is justified as a way to protect the masses from their own nature. Second, the chapter expounds on the presumed distinctions between a reading public versus unruly crowds. The letters written by Muhammad Yunus, the Nobel Prize–winning "guru of micro credit," remind us how the distinction between the stranger/citizen and an embodied crowd was mobilized at this time so as to usher in a novel era in politics.
Against the backdrop of the transparency fetish of the emergency, Phulbari's protest culture presents an alternative politics of seeing—what I describe as "seeing like a crowd." By identifying the significance of money in aesthetic productions and political acts, I show how the preoccupation with money differed from the nationwide drive against corruption. The chapter focuses first on a painting by a Phulbari artist. I argue that its message contrasts with the viciously apolitical desire for efficiency and good governance in a globally recognized language of neoliberal transparency. I then present the recollections of a socially marginalized woman who became the face of grassroots mobilization. I situate the looting and burning of money by the crowds within the larger context of the national political crisis. These popular strategies were a form of a transparency-making enterprise, if only with different political effect than the anticorruption agenda of the state.
Chapter 3 is an ethnographic account of the accidental, the contingent, and the imperceptible nature of crowd politics. To understand the political possibilities of accidents and to assess their ethnographic significance, in this chapter I approach accidents both literally and conceptually. Can accidents be political? What kinds of politics take shape in the wake of an accident? And what are the ethico-political possibilities that are made available, or are foreclosed, within various discourses of the accidental? Anthropological perspectives on accidents, I argue in this chapter, rescue the concept from its usual modernist and technicist moorings while opening up spaces of radical contingencies that are enframed in local logics of culture and politics.
Collaboration, in the sense of working for the enemy and benefiting from it, has given rise to a particular kind of crowd politics. From the vantage point of most protesters, a collaborator (dalal) was a figure that straddled the boundaries of the community and whatever stood beyond it. A dalal was by definition a local, though his ties to the foreign were exposed through suspicion, gossip, jokes, and assaults. Chapter 4 examines this culture of accusation of collaboration in order to illuminate the entangled effects of aggressive resource extraction, collective sovereignty, and popular and state-initiated attempts at settling the score with the nation's past. Following Walter Benjamin's writing on the "intriguer" and scholarly interest in the "neighbor," I submit that the dalal is a third type that disturbs the duality of friend and enemy. This ambivalence produces a culture of doubt and suspicion that demands certainty, often through violence.
Chapter 5 is located in post-emergency Bangladesh. Its primary sites are spaces of politics and activism that are both emergent and historically poignant. I explore a particular fascination with the body and its relationship to crowd politics in the context of protests against the International Crimes Tribunal. The chapter comments on the proliferation of technologies that has impacted social and political communication. Increased surveillance in public spaces indicates more rigorous efforts to control spaces and bodies, illustrated by two events I analyze: an exposé of public sexual harassment and a viral video of a public lynching. On the one hand, I argue, secular and religious crowds, in their desires to be seen and heard, often end up mirroring each other. On the other hand, individual social media users often act collectively, performing the excess and volatility associated with crowds.
In August 2017, the Supreme Court's Appellate Division released the text of a verdict that scrapped the sixteenth constitutional amendment. Passed in 2014, the amendment gave Parliament the power to remove Supreme Court judges for misconduct or incapacity. After it went public, Chief Justice Surendra Kumar Sinha faced the wrath of politicians and party loyalists. "No nation, no country is made of or by one person," Sinha wrote in a judgment partly aimed at salvaging the collectivity that played a formative role in achieving national independence. This single line was excerpted and disparate meanings were tagged onto it in order to cast Sinha as disloyal. The fact that his relatively straightforward commitment to a normative assumption of liberal democracy was enough to cost him his job reveals a heightened role of paranoia in Bangladeshi politics. Indeed, it has raised anew the paradoxes of popular sovereignty and political representation in Bangladesh.

The source of the Movie Troy came from the Iliad, an epic poem written by Homer around 800 B.C., despite that the actual war occurred 400 years before. The age gap brought speculation into whether or not the Iliad had precise information, it had been a prolonged time since the war occurred. There were many similarities between both the movie and the Iliad. Such as, the reason of the war, the famous notion of Odysseus, and the gifted warrior that helped Agamemnon and Menelaus defeat the Trojans. The main reason that caused the Trojan War, according to Homer, was
Did you know that Odysseus from the famous poem Odyssey is very smart. Odysseus left and he is returning home after 10 years of being gone.

Enmerkar and the Lord of Aratta was a narrative composed during the Old Babylonian period. This Sumerian text, coming from the site of Nippur and contains about 640 lines divided into sections of equal length. It is the longest text in a group of four and is said to be one of “the finest piece of poetic storytelling ever produced by the Old Babylonian authors” (Vanstiphout 49). The text describes the infamous rivalry between the city of Unug-Kulab (Uruk) and the mountain city/town of Aratta. This rivalry has been described in three other texts as well as this one.
The Odyssey is one of the most famous pieces of writing to this very day. Most have either heard of or have read this work within their high school or college years.

Beowulf is on of the first works of English literature. It might have been recorded in writing in Old English around 700 A.D. by an Anglo-Saxon poet. Since Beowulf originated from Anglo-Saxons, are the traditions that affect the events of the poem Beowulf accurately represent those of the Anglo-Saxons? The basic purpose of an epic poem was to share stories of the culture’s history, pass down the values of the culture, and also to entertain the listeners. The Anglo-Saxons had a pagan culture that honored warriors more than anything.
Into the early 19th century, even with sonnets, metaphysical poetry, and romantic poetry at their pinnacle, the epic poem was still the major form of poetry. In fact, the 19th century produced almost 60 epics, topping most other centuries. With epics being written that often, it is imperative to stand out and adapt. Geoffrey Chaucer tried modernizing The Canterbury Tales by adapting the developing language, English, into his epic. As well, Chaucer incorporated the social norms of the day, from the large, red-bearded, gaping-mouthed Miller to the chivalric and prideful Knight.

RQ: How has the portrayal of love in literary works changed over time? Nicholas Sparks’s “The Notebook” vs. William Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” Introduction: For a long time, “The Song of Songs” (The Song of Salomon) from the Bible was considered the oldest poem ever written. However, a relatively recent excavation of Nineveh, an ancient Assyrian city of Upper Mesopotamia, or modern-day Mosul in Iraq in 1846 AD uncovered a truly astonishing piece of literary work. “The Love Song for Shu-Sin”, supposedly written around 2000BC, which has taken the crown for the oldest love poem ever written. Humans have always found love an interesting, uncontrollable phenomenon.

As summer begins to wane, we’ve started looking forward to the next season for some inspiration for our upcoming projects. Fall is a great time to try something new, mix materials such as leather cord with rhinestone chain or metal chain with pressed glass leaves.
It’s also a time when color palettes go from bright summer colors to the more subdued and earthy tones of autumn. Inspired by beautiful scenes of nature from fall seasons past, we’ve come up with 5 new color palettes for all your fall designs!
Leaves of Yellow
Yellow leaves with a hint of umber and a touch of red on a bright day inspire a color palette of strong, bright golds and clay colored browns.
Taking inspiration from the colors of gourds that come into season in the autumn, this palette is strong on natural toned down oranges and olive greens with subdued gray neutrals.
A Touch of Violet
Adding a touch of warm violet to the mix, this palette goes beyond the traditional brownish reds, yellows and oranges of fall colors with some beautiful new options this fall.
Inspired by this magical autumn night sky, this blue heavy palette includes just enough touches of red-brown and a few neutrals to give it the feel of a true crisp fall night.
Pine Cones and Leaves
A classic combination of bright reds and oranges with deep browns and some green, this palette is the most “fall like” and will put every design squarely in the autumn category if used.
I, for one, am looking forward to the beautiful colors of fall and can’t wait to start planning my next projects inspired by my favorite season.

I really like these color palettes. Great inspiration. Thanks!

Did it or did it not wash up in Miami? A grand piano was found on a sandbar in Biscayne Bay on January 26, 2011, mysteriously charred from being burned. Although its origins were not known, many speculated that the heavy musical instrument was part of a music video production. It was later revealed that the "junk art installation" was the brainchild of a 16-year-old hoping to use the piece for a college application, according to ABC News.

Alice in Chains are in the midst of their 2023 North American tour (with special guest Royal Thunder), and while every show has surely been amazing, their stop at the Yaamava’ Theater in Highland, Calif. on Oct.5 was definitely a highlight. Why? Because it saw current Pantera touring guitarist Zakk Wylde joining them for a special performance of “Would?
Every stop on the tour thus far as placed the seminal Dirt track near the end of Alice in Chains’ concert. Per setlist.fm, this one put it at the end of the group’s initial set (before encores “No Excuses,” “It Ain’t Like That” and “Rooster”). They even teased a bit of Ozzy Osbourne’s “No More Tears” along the way.
In the footage below, you can hear vocalist William DuVall rejoicing as Wylde walks on stage with DuVall’s Les Paul. Afterward, the singer asks the crowd, “You ready to help us sing?” From there, they launch into a killer rendition of “Would?” that eventually gives Wylde the spotlight for one of his signature virtuosic solos. It’s totally epic!
Unsurprisingly, both artists posted about the collaboration on social media afterward.
Specifically, Alice in Chains posted to X (formerly Twitter) yesterday (Oct. 7): “It’s always a pleasure to jam with old friends. Thank you @ZakkWyldeBLS for tearing it up with us on “Would?” at @Yaamava the other night.”
The prior day (Oct. 6), DuVall clarified: “Yes, that IS the great @ZakkWyldeBLS rockin’ out directly to my right. And, yes, he IS playing one of my Les Pauls. Fun show last night. Thanks to Zakk and everyone who showed up. Great day at the office. Highland, CA. Yaamava Theater. Oct. 5, 2023. #aliceinchains #tour2023.”
As for Wylde, he shared footage on Instagram and Facebook, commenting: “MUCH BL MCLOVE & THANKS To FATHERS JERRY,MIKEY,SEAN,WILLIAM & The ALICE DOOM CREW For letting me ROLL w/THEM!!! THE IMMORTAL BELOVED & I Had an AMAZING NIGHT Watching you Guys CRUSH IT as ALWAYS!!!”
Naturally, just about everyone in attendance (and/or watching online afterward) loved it, too.
In addition to continuing their own headlining tour, Alice in Chains will be special guests at Guns N’ Roses’ shows this Wednesday (Oct. 11) in Phoenix, Ariz. and next Monday (Oct. 16) in Vancouver, British Columbia. As for Wylde, he and the rest of Pantera have a couple of North American shows happening in November. Then, they’ll be back starting next August.

With only four days left on my tour de Europe, I'm reluctant to come home for two very good reasons. One, I'm on a travel high and have no desire to come down from it. Reality is just not as fabulous! Two, I'm eating way too well and way too much and am dreading the painful process of post trip detox. But oh how I've enjoyed the process of indulging.
Before even stepping foot on UK soil, I had already heard so many great things about The Goring, a regal and luxe five star hotel that famously serves afternoon tea steeped in grandeur, tradition, and beauty. The 102 year-old family owned hotel has long been a favorite of the Royal Family as its pastries frequently make appearances at Buckingham Palace and just last year Kate Middleton stayed at the hotel on her last night as a commoner. I've enjoyed afternoon tea at some of the most ritzy hotels and restaurants in the world but none trumps The Goring in authenticity as I felt just a tiny bit more royal and British while dining there.
Upon arriving at the hotel, a charming butler ushered us to our table in the center of the outdoor terrace which overlooks the private garden and croquet court. Tea service extends from the terrace to the ornate lobby that's decorated in opulent hues of yellow and gold accented with classical portraits of England's royal past. The tea service was immaculate as our server was both attentive and meticulous. The three tiers of traditional tea time delights were immensely devourable. As for the tea, I particularly enjoyed The Goring Afternoon blend, a mix of Assam and Darjeeling that's smooth and rich in flavor. The hotel's "tea master" tastes each of the fine teas on a weekly basis to control the quality and taste. Impeccable!
I'm usually a person of hasty efficiency when it comes to dining but on this occasion I took my time sipping on tea, enjoying the nibbles, and taking in each and every moment of my three hour tea time at The Goring Hotel. It was an experience of royal proportions.
The lobster gelatin aperitif was pleasantly refreshing
Jams in tiny jars always taste divine
top tier favs: the blueberry chocolate macaron and lemon raspberry swirl cake
middle tier: scones with clotted cream were the best I've ever had
bottom tier favs: the chicken sandwich was savory and sweet while the traditional egg sandwich made for a great contrast

An irrepressible hare dances his way through 10 stories, which take him from an English meadow to Transylvania to the moon. Along the way, he uses humor, wiles and magic to improve the situations of those he meets--teaching good manners to a bad-tempered queen; helping a timid orphan overcome her fears (and her appetite for hare); defanging a vampire. With her widely varied settings and diverse characters, Banks (the Indian in the Cupboard novels) delivers abundant amounts of fantasy; her stories also function as parables, aptly demonstrating the rewards of such qualities as curiosity, spontaneity and self-acceptance. Her most compelling tales are those in which the hare, as trickster, faces an intractable situation or foe; when he is simply deploying his magic powers the narrative moves with considerably less tension. Moser supplies a single full-page watercolor--in most cases a portrait of a central figure--to accompany each tale. His illustrations vary in mood and expression, from tender to terrifying, and provide strong, often strikingly affecting touchstones for the text. All ages. (Aug.)

The other issue I have with children’s movies is how they recycle the same story but update it for the current generation. The problem is rather than make a film that stands the test of time, we have a production that appeals only to that generation, and then decades later, it feels dated. That indeed happens here with The Legend of Galgameth. To stand the test of time, one must take risks in storytelling. Instead, McNamara and screenwriter Michael Angeli play it safe. We’ve seen this story before in one variation or the other. The prince must learn what it means to be a king. The true meddle of leadership is tested when he realizes he can’t always lean on a giant monster to take care of the baddies.
I could also get into the bad dialogue and the typical lousy acting that is pretty standard for family movies, Nickelodeon, and even the Disney Channel at this time. Salvation comes from veteran character actor Stephen Macht making a good villain that stands out from the pack.
“…probably one of the most highly articulated monster faces produced outside of the Jim Henson Company…”
But you’re reading this for the monster. Like Godzilla, The Legend of Galgameth is essentially a guy in a suit, but what separates him from the pack is the monster’s facial expressions. Galgameth has probably one of the most highly articulated monster faces produced outside of the Jim Henson Company — props to Alterian Studios. It’s more than just having a mouth that goes up and down or eyes that move left to right. Galgameth can express true emotion, which gives the character depth. As an FX geek, the monster is pretty cool, and I’m eating it up.
Even more astonishing, Galgameth grows in various stages throughout the film. McNamara combines oversized props and sets for scale and actual-size tiny robots when he is a few inches tall. As Galgameth reaches Prince Davin’s size, he’s a guy in a suit, and at the end, Galgameth takes on Godzilla heights. The filmmaker employs forced perspective and high-speed camera to give proper monstrous scale. Director McNamara does a great job creating a good-looking, lovable giant monster. Giant monster stories are not known for their depth, but why can’t they be three-dimensional? I just wish the story of The Legend of Galgameth had the same attention as given to the effects.
"…employs forced perspective and high-speed camera to give proper monstrous scale."


|3OH!3 RELEASE NEW SONG AND VIDEO FOR “MY DICK”
“MY DICK” PREVIEWS THE CHART TOPPING DUO’S NEW STUDIO ALBUM, DUE OUT IN EARLY 2016
WATCH “MY DICK” VIDEO HERE:
STREAM “MY DICK” AUDIO HERE:
Spotify – Apple Music – SoundCloud
Photo Finish/Atlantic recording artist 3OH!3 have announced the release of “MY DICK.” The song – which marks 3OH!3’s first new music in nearly two years – was revealed today via the bands official website along with an equally provocative companion video – directed by Tony Yacenda – watch here: https://youtu.be/mSbCOxaZIVE. Produced by 3OH!3, “MY DICK” precedes the arrival of 3OH!3’s anticipated new studio album, currently slated to arrive in early 2016. You can stream the track here: http://flyt.it/MyDickSP. Of the new track, Nathaniel Motte and Sean Foreman both said, “I hope you like MY DICK.”
3OH!3 first exploded onto an unsuspecting mainstream with 2008’s smash second album, “WANT.” Fueled by the 3x RIAA platinum certified, #1 hit, “Don’t Trust Me” and its platinum certified follow-up, “Starstrukk (Feat. Katy Perry),” the album earned gold certification and cumulative digital track sales in excess of 6.5 million.
“STREETS OF GOLD” followed in 2010, debuting at #1 on Billboard’s “Dance/Electronic Albums” chart while simultaneously making a top 10 entry on the Billboard 200 in its first week of release. The album – which includes the RIAA platinum certified, top 10 hit, “My First Kiss (Feat. Ke$ha)” – once again saw the Boulder, CO-based duo continuing to push the envelope with their distinctive mash-up of electro, pop, rock, punk, and hip hop, this time in association with such studio superstars as Benny Blanco (Wiz Khalifa, Selena Gomez), Dr. Luke (Katy Perry, Ke$ha), Greg Kurstin (Adele, Lana Del Rey), and Matt Squire (Panic! At The Disco, Ariana Grande).
“MY DICK” now arrives almost two years after the release of 3OH!3’s fourth studio album, “OMENS,” having accumulated to date a total of 15 million tracks worldwide across all their releases. A truly dynamic live act, 3OH!3 has sold out tours around the world, also earning a “Best Tour” nomination at the mtvU Awards. Other accolades include a pair of prestigious MTV Video Music Awards nods, including “Best New Artist” and “Best Collaboration” (for “My First Kiss”) alongside various TV appearances including Jimmy Kimmel Live, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno & more.

Gunmen who kidnapped more than 100 students from a school in northwest Nigeria more than two months ago released 10 more of the hostages after ransom payment, the head of a parents association said Sunday.
Assailants stormed Bethel Baptist High School on July 5 on the outskirts of Kaduna city, abducting 121 students who were sleeping in their dorms.
The Bethel abduction was one of a string of kidnappings by armed gangs known locally as bandits who terrorise northwest and central Nigeria, looting, stealing cattle and kidnapping.
The gangs have recently been targeting schools and colleges, seizing students to extract ransoms out of parents and authorities.
"The kidnappers released 10 more students today after we met their financial demand as with previous students they released," Joseph Hayab said, without saying how much was paid.
The latest release happened a week after 10 other students were freed.
"We now have 11 more students in captivity and we hope all will be released the next time we reach an agreement with the bandits," Hayab said.
The kidnappers have been freeing the abducted students in batches, which Hayab said was meant to extort more money from parents as money "is paid everytime the students are released".
So far 110 students have either been released or managed to escape.
Three of the captors have been arrested, national police spokesman Frank Mba said on Thursday.
More than 1,000 students and pupils have been abducted in the north since December, though most were released after negotiations.
Last month bandits freed 93 pupils abducted from an Islamic seminary in central Niger state after spending three months in captivity.

Grilled Vegetable Fajitas With Chipolte Cream
1/3 C. sour cream
1 T. chopped fresh cilantro
1 to 2 t. minced chipolte peppers in adobo sauce
1 medium green bell pepper
1 medium red bell pepper
1 medium yellow bell pepper
2 T. olive oil
1/2 to 1 t. Mexican seasoning
1 medium sweet onion, cut into 1/2-inch slices
1 Japanese eggplant, halved lengthwise
8 10-inch flour tortillas
1/4 t. salt
1/2 C. chunky salsa
For chipolte cream, in a small bowl combine sour cream, cilantro and chipolte peppers; set aside.
Halve bell peppers lengthwise; discard stems, membranes and seeds. Combine olive oil and Mexican seasoning; lightly brush cut sides of bell peppers, onion and eggplant with oil mixture. (Or, place vegetables in a heavy-duty, large plastic bag; add oil mixture. Close bag; shake to coat vegetables.)
Grill vegetables, cut sides up, on the rack of an uncovered grill directly over medium coals until tender, turning occasionally. (Or, use a grill wok.) Allow 8 to 12 minutes for eggplant and bell peppers and 12 to 14 minutes for onion. Remove vegetables from grill; cool until easy to handle.
Meanwhile, wrap tortillas in foil. Place tortillas on grill rack directly over coals. Grill about 10 minutes or until heated through.
Cut bell peppers until thin strips. Cut eggplant into 1/2-inch slices. Separate onion into rings. Place all vegetables in a large serving bowl; toss lightly with salt. Serve vegetables in warm tortillas with chipolte cream and salsa.
Makes 4 servings.

The Dyna-Tek coating chemistries adhere to most chemistries with a covalent bond. All surfaces have varying ranges of porosity and within the porosity oxygen molecules. Highly drawn and attracted to these oxygen molecules our chemistry finds even those well below the surface. Like water absorbing into a sponge, at a molecular level our coatings develop varying, interlocking paths into the pores of the substrate displacing the oxygen molecules with our chemical structure.
The result is an extremely strong bond to, and within the substrate with NO mechanical or chemical etch to the substrate. With Dyna-Tek coatings, for most surfaces just ensuring the substrate is clean is good enough.
Direct to substrate bonds have been proven on/in:
- Stainless Steel
- Most plastics
Silicone substrates can be done as well; but requires the use of our DT-520 adhesion promoter.
FYI… THERE ARE NO FREE SILICONES in our coatings. This means ZERO transfer of silicones to molded parts. For more detail on this, please request a copy of a report by Kansas State University and their testing on this.
Adhesion = Protection. The covalent bond the coating creates is also significant towards creating outstanding protection for the surface as well because it has sealed off the pores to which attacking elements would normally find and begin reacting with the substrates.

- 14 How does pregnancy test show positive?
Are the First Response pregnancy tests accurate?
FIRST RESPONSE™ detects the pregnancy hormone 6 days sooner than the day of your missed period (5 days before the day of expected period). > 99% accurate at detecting typical pregnancy hormone levels.
Which First Response pregnancy test is best?
If you just can’t wait, the First Response Early Result test is what you want to grab. It’s the most sensitive over-the-counter pregnancy test, and can accurately tell you if you’re pregnant up to five days before your period is due.
Does Walmart sell first response?
First Response Early Result Pregnancy Test, 2 Pack (Packaging & Test Design May Vary) – Walmart.com.
Does 7 Eleven sell pregnancy tests?
7-Select Pregnancy Test The Early Result Pregnancy Test is easy to use and easy to read. Over 99% accurate from the day of your expected period.
Can I be 2 months pregnant and have a negative test?
By two months, a negative pregnancy test almost always means that your period is late for a different reason. Although hCG levels rise to a peak and then fall again, they’re usually still climbing until the end of the first trimester.
Do cheap pregnancy tests work?
The pregnancy tests you get at the drugstore work 99 out of 100 times. They’re just as accurate as a urine pregnancy test that you’d get at a doctor’s office. Pregnancy tests work by checking your urine (pee) for a hormone called human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG). Your body only makes this hormone if you’re pregnant.
Is 4 days before too early to test?
Early Result Pregnancy Tests If your luteal phase is usually 12 days, four days before your missed period would be nine days after ovulation. That’s way too early to test. For you, taking the test four days before your missed period would be pointless.
When is pregnancy strip test positive?
The test is sensitive to 20mIU of HCG and is capable of detecting pregnancy as early as 7-10 days after conception. We do however recommend that you wait until the first day after your missed period to get a reliable result.
Can first response give false negative?
Doctors say so-called early-result pregnancy tests waste time and money. Studies on the packaging of such kits as First Response say 48 percent of women get a “false negative” result when they test three days before their expected period.
Can you take a pregnancy test at night?
In short, yes. You can take a pregnancy test at night. However, the question of whether you should in order to get an accurate result is a little less clear. Home pregnancy tests that rely on your urine are designed to respond to certain levels of human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG).
Do pregnancy tests come in packs of 2?
You can get the results of your pregnancy test fast with CVS Health One Step Pregnancy Tests 2 Pack. These tests can be easy to read and produce clear results in as early as one minute after testing. They can be used the first day of your missed period.
How accurate are $1 pregnancy test?
Considering the tests all look to detect the same thing, the pregnancy hormone, when the products are used correctly, they are essentially equal. HORRY COUNTY, SC (WMBF) – The pregnancy test purchased at the dollar store says ‘ Over 99% Accurate ‘ but the price is just one dollar.
Can drinking lots of water affect a pregnancy test?
Don’t drink too much water, or any liquid, before taking a pregnancy test. Excess fluids can impact the accuracy of the test results, so if your urine is diluted or pale yellow, hold off on taking a test. Diluted urine tends to also have diluted hCG levels which can skew the test results.
How does pregnancy test show positive?
Pregnancy tests work by reacting to the amount of hCG in either your urine or blood. In a urine test, a piece of reactive paper detects the hCG. This might then show a plus sign, double vertical lines or even the word “pregnant.” Different tests will show a positive result in unique ways.

This will get worse before it gets better - Wigan Athletic boss
Two players - defenders Nathan Cameron and Adam Long - are currently isolating after testing positive.
This weekend's opponents Crewe have three players - Omar Beckles, who spent much of summer training with Latics, and two unnamed team-mates - currently isolating.
The Railwaymen saw last weekend's game at Oxford postponed at the 11th hour because of positive tests, and Sheridan admits it's just another hurdle that 2020 is throwing up.
When asked whether it's becoming the norm, Sheridan said: “Possibly yes, and it’s something that will probably only get worse as well.
“With the weather coming up and the dark nights on the way, you’ll probably find there’s more on the way.
“I just think it’s important people continue to get tested, and people with far more expertise than me are keeping an eye on those things, and making sure people are sticking to the rules that need to be stuck by.
“As a football club we’ve stuck to every single protocol that’s there, straight away the players were isolated as they should be.
“You’ve got to stick to the rules, there’s no other way to get around that."
Not that the situation has had an adverse effect on preparations heading into this weekend's game.
“No, I don’t think it’s affected the mood in the squad," Sheridan said. “Obviously you don’t want any cases, but we’ve got two cases.
"It’s what’s happening up and down the country, and it’s going to happen more and more.
“We’ve tried to do all the right things, and we just don’t want any more cases now.
“We’re trying to keep as safe and clean as we can, because we don’t want it getting to a point where we’re missing games because of it."
Ever the professional, Sheridan himself is focusing only on matters he can control.
“I’m just a football manager trying to manage a football club," he said.
“If I’m told the game’s going ahead on Saturday, and we’re allowed to play the game, I’ve got to focus on my group and what team I will be putting out.
“It’s up to other people above me to make any other decisions that need to be made.
“If they make the decision that the game can’t go ahead, you’ve got to accept that decision has been made by professional people who are only thinking of your welfare - and you abide by it.”
One massive side-effect of Covid-19 - from a football point of view - is the continued absence of fans at matches.
And it's something Sheridan admits is a major talking point at all levels of football.
“I think every manager of every club would answer the question in the same way - we want fans back," he acknowledged.
“It’s massively important, because they are a massive part of the game.
“Whether that’s for financial reasons or to get behind the team...it’s just not the same, is it?
“You’ve not got the advantage of having your supporters there for home games, and away games aren’t as intimidating without the opposition fans getting behind their side.
“Look at our game at Portsmouth the other week...we managed to win there, on any other day they’d have had 20,000 fans behind them.
“Personally, I’d find it very hard if I was a player, because you’re used to playing in front of a crowd.
“We need to try to get them back, but we also have to stick to the rules to keep everyone safe.”

A space-saving way to create valuable storage in a bedroom, guest room, or dressing room, sliding wardrobe doors can turn any closet into a stylish focal point.
Types of Sliding Wardrobe Door
Mirrored sliding doors are a great alternative to a freestanding mirror and mean you don’t have to find wall or floor space for a separate mirror. The reflective surface also bounces light back into the room, making small or dark spaces feel bright and inviting. In a dressing area, a mirrored door will make it easier to try on outfits or get ready for the day ahead.
Panelled sliding doors are available in a variety of styles, including classic shaker or modern, minimalist designs. With a range of colour options to choose from, it is easy to find doors to match the decor of a room.
Benefits of Sliding Wardrobe Doors
Unlike a side-hinged wardrobe door, sliding doors don’t open out into the room, so take up less space. This makes sliding doors a great solution in a compact room and allows furniture to be placed closer to the wardrobe, making the most of floorspace.
From clothes and accessories to spare bedding, bedrooms can be a magnet for clutter. Sliding doors hide everything out of sight to keep the room neat and tidy, creating a more peaceful sleeping space.
Investing in made-to-measure wardrobe doors means that any room can be enhanced with a bespoke closet. This allows custom-made storage to be slotted into any awkward alcove or narrow space, making it easier to organise a bedroom or guest room.
Suitable for any room
Sliding doors can be used around the home to create easy-access storage. In a home office, use sliding doors to section off a space for files and paperwork, or fit sliding doors in a playroom to keep toys and games neatly organised.
Add value to a home
With storage high on potential buyers’ wishlists, adding a bespoke wardrobe space to your home could increase its appeal when the time comes to sell. It will also make it easier to quickly hide any clutter before house viewings.
How to Choose Sliding Doors
With a variety of designs on offer, it can be tricky to choose a style when picking sliding wardrobe doors. Follow these tips to find the best sliding doors for your Milton Keynes home.
- Consider the room decor. Whether creating a coordinated look with doors which match the scheme of the room, or mixing and matching colours to add contrast, consider the decor of the bedroom or guest room when choosing a design.
- Measure the space. Sliding doors allow a wardrobe to be created in almost any space, including rooms with sloping ceilings or narrow alcoves. Look at the layout of the room to see where a wardrobe can be fitted – you may be able to gain more storage than you think.
- Decide whether a mirror is needed. If you want a spot to get dressed in the morning, or are looking for ways to make a small room seem more spacious, a mirrored sliding door is a good option. However, a sliding door with solid panels can help create a cosier look and feel, and works well if you have floor space for a freestanding mirror.
Installing Sliding Wardrobe Doors
Sliding wardrobe doors glide open and shut along tracks which sit at the top and bottom of the wardrobe space. When buying made-to-measure sliding doors, these tracks are precisely cut to fit the storage area. The door panels are then slotted into the tracks, allowing the doors to slide back and forth.
Installation is usually straightforward and suppliers of sliding doors in Bedford will often provide an installation service to ensure a precise and professional fit.
Storage accessories are available to complete the closet, including rails, shelving, and drawers. This storage can be configured to match the items you need to organise, from bed linen to boots and shoes.
Other optional accessories include soft-close mechanisms which prevent the doors slamming shut. As well as reducing noise when the door is in use, this reduces damage to the door over time.

As we approach the summer, PLEASE review these Pet Relocation Tips to insure a smooth transition for your pets. We know moving is hard for you, and it’s hard for them too!
A Month Before you Move:
- Visit the vet to make sure you collect pertinent medical records.
- Make sure any existing medications are in supply and make any adjustments.
- Have your pets vaccinated along with a complete checkup.
- Update your ID tags. Have new ones made with updated contact information.
- Make sure you understand pet licensing laws in your new destination.
- HomeAgain® Microchip We are personally fortunate to have had our dog returned to us due to his microchip. Going to an unfamiliar place may make your pets uneasy and they don’t know the surroundings. Make sure you contact the company to provide them with your updated contact information. This is a life saver.
- Keep your pets away during the moving process. It’s very stressful and they will feel insecure as items are being taken from home; especially dogs are territorial and protective of their owners, so this is critical. Board them for the day or have a friend or pet sitter take them for a fun day.
- If you are driving to your destination, make sure you take plenty of breaks to minimize anxiety and car sickness.
- Your pets will take time to explore strange surroundings. Give them space and time needed to get accustomed to your new home. Keep them confined or leashed if you are uncertain about certain behaviors.
- Make sure they have their favorite toys, beds or any other items close by.
- Remember you will be stressed. Try to understand that your pets DON’T understand what is happening and try to be patient with them 🙂
- WATER WATER WATER…especially here in Arizona, we need hydration and so do they. Make sure you have plenty on hand.
- If you must fly with your pets, make sure you do your due diligence with the airlines and your vet. Non-stops are obviously best but sometimes this isn’t possible. Light sedatives might be recommended for air travel.
- Moving to an international destination will take even more research. You need to check with the embassy or consulate regarding health or quarantine issues. There also may be certain documentation required.
Overall, a move is a family affair. Treat your pets as you do your children, and try to assuage any insecurities that will undoubtedly come with this experience. They are our best friends and are VERY adaptable if the right steps are taken.

According to a recent survey, published on August 15 in The New York Post, the most annoying thing in New York is people who block subway doors. The Post carried out the survey with 300 residents to find out what they don’t like about the city. The rest of the top 10 is as follows:
3. Cabdrivers on cell phones
4. Drivers who block the box
7. Bike delivery guys
8. Film shoots that take over the street
9. Street fairs
10. Tip jars everywhere
Here's an idea...how about a survey to find out the most annoying things in Lebanon?
Choose your top three most annoying things in Lebanon. If this post gets enough replies, I’ll compile the data and share the final list. If you don’t live in Lebanon but have visited the place before, you can still take part in this survey.
My top choices:
1. Electricity shortages
2. Internet bandwidth, plans and pricing structure

Gears and Gear System
I would love to see in the game gears and gear plates like we would see from Medieval engineers.
This could allow us to make good cargo lift elevators and tracks that respond to gears only and make a mobile pad to move things in one direction.
Mainly there has been no real good way for elevators to exist in-game, without summoning clang with rockets or thrusters or pistons.
Just some food for thought.

KMT presidential candidate Hung establishes HQ
Kuomintang ( KMT) presidential hopeful and incumbent Deputy Legislative Speaker Hung Hsiu-chu ( ) yesterday established her headquarters in the KMT’s main office and officially introduced her campaign spokespeople to the general public.
Local press were invited to Hung’s new base of operations yesterday, which is located in the new KMT office department created specifically to handle all presidential and legislative elections.
Former Deputy Secretary-General of the National Security Council Philip Yang ( ) and Taipei City Information Department, the predecessor of Taipei’s Department of Information and Tourism, former head Jack Yu ( ) were introduced as Hung’s two spokesmen.
Both were reportedly handpicked by the deputy speaker, with Yu also leading as the convener for Hung’s election strategic team and Yang also serving as Hung’s international affairs team convener and international spokesperson.
Aside from holding previous positions in government sectors, Yu and Yang were also members of Sean Lien’s ( ) Taipei mayoral election campaign team.
While speaking with local media, Yu said he had communicated with Hung on Sunday to establish a direction for her presidential campaign. Both agreed upon a non-traditional approach Yu said, with Hung stating that her campaign would center on the idea of “truthfulness” to show potential constituents a politician that is unlike conventional Taiwanese lawmakers.
Yu also said that the upcoming election would be a hard battle for the presidential hopeful due to a lack of resources.
Yang, who will be responsible for shaping Hung’s international image, said he has been acquainted with her since his days as the head of the now-disbanded Execu- tive Yuan Government Information Office (GIO), which was why he accepted Hung’s offer quickly.
The spokesman also addressed Hung’s current international image, stating that the deputy speaker has been constantly misquoted on cross-strait issues by the media.
Party Chair Defends Hung’s Lack of Cooperation on US Visit Plans
In related news, while responding to presidential candidate and Democratic Progressive Party Chairwoman Tsai Ing-wen’s (
) trip to the United States, which provided the DPP leader with positive publicity and momentum for her campaign, KMT Chairman Eric Chu ( ) previously said that the party would arrange for Hung to go to the U.S. as well, so as to garner support from expats living there.
However, Hung responded differently, saying that such decisions would be made by her.
During a press interview yesterday, Chu was asked by local media about the difference between the party and Hung on the matter.
Chu said the most important function of the party is to support its candidate, as well as conduct proper communications and negotiations between party and candidate.
As for Hung’s visit, Chu said more meetings would happen to discuss the matter, with more updates to come in the future.
The chairman went on to support Hung, saying that differences of opinion are inevitable in the process of a campaign, but the most important goal is to attract backing from the general public.
A golden dragon-turtle statue is displayed in the new headquarters of Kuomintang (KMT) presidential hopeful Hung Hsiu-chu’s ( ) campaign yesterday. Local press were invited to Hung’s new base of operations and the ornament caught the attention of the media as a result of its Feng Shui significance. However, Hung’s campaign staff claimed that the statue was left behind by the office’s previous tenant.


I am back after a mini-sabbatical. Forced sabbatical more like. But this is something that has kept not only me, but the entire nation hooked to the daily news. As many channels put it in a sensationalizing manner ” The Murder of 2008″, the “Murder of the year!” and what not, this is my dedicated post to that poor little girl, Aarushi.
Someone whose existence I sadly came to know only after her death, I cannot but feel terribly sorry for her. Yes, for life to be taken away in such a brutal fashion, that too at such a young tender age is terrifying. But even more terrifying is the disgraceful way the media has been treating her case. With her photograph being flashed in every news bulletin, with one of these apparently “catchy” slogans underneath it, what is the media trying to do ? First, throw a truckload of rut on her character, by sensationalizing totally false information about her, then blaming the servant without even looking around the house?! ( I sometimes wonder what if the killer actually was walking on the terrace and enjoying all the ruckus below?). Then blame a father for killing his daughter, conduct narco-tests every now and then..I want to sometimes just scream at the news channels saying ENOUGH!! Havent they lost enough already ?
The thing with the Indians is that, we love to lap up these things. Agreed, some amount of public interference is needed. Like the Women and Child’s commission was required to make the Noida Police shut their trap and stop throwing nasty ideas about her character into public’s minds. The more you show the details of the case, the more tongues will wag. Some smart, young girl has become the object of public sympathy, dinner table discussions and even articles about how her murder is making people watch more news. Sad, aint it ?
All I would now just request people ( I know in vain…) to leave that bereaved family alone.The highest federal body of investigation is on the case now and I think even they would perform better outside the media glare. Maybe the case gets resolved faster. They have lost perhaps one of the brightest spark of their family and the most loved. In addition, the family must be totally shattered now and i am not sure, society is going to accept them back.
So, Aarushi, you are long gone now, but the fight for your justice will continue. It is sad you had to become headlines only because you were snatched away by some animal in the most brutal manner. Hope your soul rests in peace. I truly feel sorry for you everytime I see your beautiful pic flashed in a news-bulletin.
PS: Im sorry that my return-to-blogging post has been on a sombre topic. But this is what I could gather from the flashes of news headlines I managed to catch every now and then. Its been Aarushi , Aarushi and Aarushi all the way…

The Herbst family held a public memorial service Thursday for all employees, business partners and extended friends to celebrate the life of Jerry Herbst at the Terrible Herbst Employment Center, 3670 W. Dewey Dr.
Herbst, founder and chairman of a series of local “Terrible’s” gas stations, died Nov. 27 at 80.
Herbst helped his family grow the Terrible Herbst company into 160-plus convenience stores, car washes and lube locations throughout Southern Nevada.
The company opened the world’s largest Chevron this summer in Jean. But Herbst the man was more than a gas station magnate, with businesses in gaming and as the patriarch of the so-called “first family of desert racing.”
A funeral service for Herbst was held Tuesday for friends and family at Christ Church Episcopal on 2000 S. Maryland Pkwy.

Ryewook (who) has the sweetest mouth, stated "My fans are all perfect women", Eunhyuk who just joined SJ-M (as a new member) believes that "Women who love me, regardless of who they are (,) are (all) too perfect!" In regards to the similar pronunciation of (their) new album <Too Perfect> and "Taiwan girls" (Note: pronunciation in mandarin = Tai Wan Mei), Siwon revealed the inside story of his manager, (and) joked "That’s because our manager has always wanted to marry a Taiwanese women, thus this album(/song) name was used."

Paramedics and Palliative Care Program Outcomes
The Paramedics and Palliative Care program equipped paramedics and other healthcare providers to provide appropriate, patient-centred palliative care closer to home and community, resulting in improved efficiencies in the healthcare system.
How Paramedics and Palliative Care contributed to better healthcare in Canada
Decreased transports to hospital in both rural and urban areas
- 52.8 percent of calls enabled people receiving palliative care to remain in their homes, diverting patients from the emergency department
Improved access to patient-centred care closer to home and community
- Almost 7,000 calls were received from people wishing to access palliative care in their homes
- Over 92 percent of surveyed patients and families were satisfied with the care they received by paramedics and 86.6 percent of calls improved the presenting complaint
Improved efficiency in the healthcare system
- An average of 31 minutes were saved per call by treating palliative patients at home compared with transporting them to the emergency department
Improved comfort and confidence for paramedic team members delivering palliative care
- 71.3 percent of paramedics felt more comfortable and confident providing palliative care
- More than 7,500 paramedics and 200 additional healthcare providers were trained to support palliative patients at home
These outcomes are informed by data collected by HEC, the Partnership, and the seven teams in six provinces, representing 31 paramedic services, that participated in the program. When citing this information, we ask that you use the following reference:

Progressive symphonic metal act Scardust shares the release party of their new album “Strangers”. Watch it below.
To celebrate the launch of their acclaimed new concept album “Strangers”, the Israeli band Scardust – praised by Prog Magazine as “serious contenders in the symphonic/prog metal world” – hosted a live-stream release party on Facebook on Nov. 14. The event featured the first-ever live performances of several songs from the new record, as well as a Q&A with special guest musician Patty Gurdy, who appears on the album’s “Concrete Cages”. Archived video of that event is now available for free on-demand viewing:
“2020 was a hell of a ride for Scardust!” says vocalist Noa Gruman. “COVID-19 tried to sabotage the recording of our album and the making of no less than six music videos (and more to come), but we managed to keep to our schedule even when we barely could meet up with each other. Countless fans told us they wished they could see us live on stage with the new songs, so on Nov. 14, we returned to Bardo Studios, where we recorded the drums and choirs for ‘Strangers,’ to play a live-stream show to celebrate the release of the new album. We’ve missed performing live so much, and it made us very happy to play live again and interact with our beloved audience. The thousands of people who joined the live stream that night made it double the thrill. This video is an unedited record of that wonderful event – technical glitches and all!“

The members of the National Farmers’ Platform have selected Sheriffo Bojang as their new president to steer the affairs of the platform until the congress.
Mr Bojang was the deputy permanent secretary and deputy Minister of Agriculture under former president Jammeh. He replaced the late Alhagie Basse Mboge who died four months ago.
Mr Bojang’s selection was done at Trans-Gambia Lodge in Pakalinding in Lower River Region over the weekend, and all delegates from all the regions graced the occasion.
The idea of reforming the Platform came barely two years when the activities of the Platform became dormant, due to inactiveness of both the governance and administrative structures. The Executive board therefore raises concern about the situation of the Platform and called for an immediate intervention to address the situation. Hence, the former president in consultation with the executive members decided to set up a reform committee at a meeting held at the Platform’s office in Brikama.
Speaking to The Standard after his selection, the new president said his first plan is to unify all the farmers. “Later, if there are funds from our partners or anywhere, we will go on a nationwide tour to meet the members at the district, regional and constituency levels and talk to them, so that we can all come together and get the Farmers’ Platform to the old days.”
“It is the decision by the farmers and I surely hold it. I respect their decision. I think they have done the right thing by getting me over to the Farmers Platform as their president. I have been working in the agricultural fraternity for about 33 years now, and I have held the position of deputy permanent secretary up to ministerial level,” he noted.
Alhaji Ebrima Beyai, treasurer of the Farmers Platform, disclosed that all the farmer associations in the country should be part of the Platform, because it is the umbrella body.
“I want to assure all the farmers in the country that the Farmers Platform is still existing and is the biggest platform in The Gambia,” he said.
Sanna Darboe, vice president of the Platform, apologized to his members for the statements he made in the media, especially the Director General Saikou Sanyang and Amie Fabureh, Minister of Agriculture. “No one is perfect and there is no body who is bigger than Satan. I regretted my actions and I apologise.”

DIANA TATARCIUC CARMEN GENTIMIR, CATALINA ANDA ZAHARIA, ANDREEA COSTIN, LILIANA CHELARU, IONUT CAZAN, GABRIELA STOLERIU, MARCEL COSTULEANU BIOCHEMICAL INTERACTIONS BETWEEN ANGIOTENSIN II AND APELIN IN ISOLATED VASCULAR SMOOTH MUSCLE CELLS Angiotensin II, angiotensin receptors, apelins and recently de-orphanized APJ receptors are important control factors of cardiovascular system. The present studies aimed the effects of apelin-13 and -apelin-13 on apoptosis of cultured rat vascular smooth muscle cells, induced by enhanced concentrations of angiotensin II, in the presence of losartan, a specific inhibitor of AT1 angiotensin receptors type. The obtained data demonstrated that apelin-13 was less efficient in preventing the apoptosis of aortic smooth muscle cells in culture, induced by angiotensin II (in the presence of losartan), as compared to -apelin-13. It could be concluded that the apoptotic effects induced by angiotensin II in rat aortic could be related to the involvement of AT2 angiotensin receptor type, other types of receptors or pathways unrelated to angiotensin receptors. Furthermore, the apoptotic effects induced by angiotensin II are counteracted by apelins in a structure-related manner.
