@remarks Optionally, the UTF8Encoding object provides a preamble, which is an array of bytes that can be prefixed to the sequence of bytes resulting from the encoding process. If the preamble contains a byte order mark (code point U+FEFF), it helps the decoder determine the byte order and the transformation format or UTF. The Unicode byte order mark (BOM) is serialized as EF BB BF (in hexadecimal).
Your applications are recommended to use the BOM, as it provides nearly certain identification of an encoding for files that otherwise have lost reference to the UTF8Encoding object, for example, untagged or improperly tagged web data or random text files stored when a business did not have international concerns or other data. Often user problems might be avoided if data is consistently and properly tagged.
For standards that provide an encoding type, a BOM is somewhat redundant. However, it can be used to help a server send the correct encoding header. Alternatively, it can be used as a fallback in case the encoding is otherwise lost.
There are some disadvantages to using a BOM. For example, knowing how to limit the database fields that use a BOM can be difficult. Concatenation of files can be a problem also, for example, when files are merged in such a way that an unnecessary character can end up in the middle of data. In spite of the few disadvantages, however, the use of a BOM is highly recommended.
For more information on byte order and the byte order mark, see The Unicode Standard at the Unicode home page.

| To ensure that the encoded bytes are decoded properly, your application should prefix encoded bytes with a preamble. |

Setting up a Nikola site is really easy. You will need a few minutes’ time and a Python 3 interpreter.
Nikola is free open-source software, under the MIT license.
The best way to install Nikola is to use pip
in a virtualenv. We recommend installing the "Nikola[extras]"
distribution to access some extra features, but you can drop the [extras]
specifier if you don’t want them. Follow instructions on the right/below.
Hint: don’t use Pipenv. It makes stuff harder than it should be and won’t be a pleasant experience.
Nikola supports Windows! Keep in mind, though, that there are some caveats:
py -m pip install virtualenv
\
as path separator (instead of /
)\r\n
) as the line separator (instead of LF \n
)Installing Nikola on macOS is easy. You can use Homebrew, MacPorts or Fink. The system Python interpreter is not supported (as it is Python 2)
brew install python3
sudo pip3 install virtualenv
virtualenv
. Virtualenvs require fixing, reconfiguration or recreating if you update Python.Other package/port managers, such as MacPorts (py36-pip, py36-virtualenv) or Fink (pip-py36, virtualenv-py36) may be used if you prefer them and have those installed. Make sure to use only one manager to avoid conflicts.
Nikola is packaged for some Linux distributions, you may get that instead of installing via pip
(which is the recommended way). Keep in mind that those packages might be outdated and that we don’t support versions that are too old. Proceed with care!
You can also install Nikola from GitHub. This will get you the code that is still under development. It probably has bugs, but there are often new features or bugfixes. Start by creating and activating a virtualenv.
$ pip install "git+https://github.com/getnikola/nikola#egg=Nikola[extras]"
For development work, or if you otherwise want a local clone of the repository, use this:
$ git clone https://github.com/getnikola/nikola # wherever you store your projects; you may also use a ssh remote address
$ cd nikola
$ pip install -e ".[extras]"
You should not need to compile any C extension modules to run Nikola. Both lxml and Pillow have pre-compiled wheels available for Windows, macOS and Linux (compatible with all distributions).
However, if pip still attempts to compile those packages, you may need to do the following:
pip install -U pip setuptools wheel
(on Windows, use py -m pip
)Python.h
, you need to install development packages for Python (eg. python3-dev or python3-devel).There are unofficial Docker images by Stefano Marinelli (available in Debian, Alpine, bleeding-edge and ARM flavors)
$ docker pull dragas/nikola:alpine # recommended
$ docker pull dragas/nikola:dev # bleeding-edge (GitHub master)
$ docker pull dragas/nikola # Debian version
$ docker pull dragas/rpi-nikola # RPi/ARM version
and also, a Dockerfile by Rob Brewer, based on Arch Linux and official Arch packages.
There are also Snapcraft packages (snap install nikola --edge
), but those inherit many limitations of the platform and are not recommended for daily use.
First, make sure Python 3 and virtualenv are installed.
$ virtualenv3 nikola
Note:
The command might be different in some environments.
You might need to use one of the following instead:
virtualenv
virtualenv-3.x (where x is your Python version)
virtualenv -p /usr/bin/python3
Using base prefix '/usr'
New python executable in nikola/bin/python3
Also creating executable in nikola/bin/python
Installing setuptools, pip, wheel...done.
$ cd nikola
$ source bin/activate
$ pip install --upgrade pip setuptools wheel
Note:
Updating pip, setuptools, and wheel is recommended.
On Windows, use py -m pip install for both steps.
$ pip install --upgrade "Nikola[extras]"
...snip...
Successfully installed Nikola
After installing Nikola, you should create a site. A site is a collection of all assets needed to create your site: configuration, posts, pages, images, and all other files and customizations. This is the important data, so put it where you put that kind of things.
To create a site, you need to run nikola init --demo <directory_name>
. A friendly wizard will be launched, letting you configure your site easily. The --demo
option is used to fill your site with some demo content. (If you do not want the wizard, use the --quiet
argument.)
$ nikola init --demo my_first_site
Creating Nikola Site
====================
This is Nikola. We will now ask you a few easy questions about your new site.
If you do not want to answer and want to go with the defaults instead, simply restart with the `-q` parameter.
--- Questions about the site ---
Site title [My Nikola Site]: My First Nikola Site
...a couple more questions...
That's it, Nikola is now configured. Make sure to edit conf.py to your liking.
If you are looking for themes and addons, check out https://themes.getnikola.com/ and https://plugins.getnikola.com/.
Have fun!
INFO: init: A new site with example data has been created at my_first_site.
INFO: init: See README.txt in that folder for more information.
You can now build the site you created. Just run nikola build
. The output directory will then be filled with the contents of your site, which is now ready to deploy.
$ cd my_first_site
$ nikola build

Your site currently contains demo content — that is, some Nikola documentation, a demo gallery and listing, and a blog post welcoming you.
You should make it more interesting and personal. Write your own post!
To do that, you can just use nikola new_post -e
. (The -e
option will open the post in your text editor of choice; many more options are available)
The command will create the file for you in the right place, with the metadata headers and a writing prompt.
By default, Nikola creates posts in reStructuredText. You can read the reStructuredText Primer to get accustomed to the syntax. You can also use many other input formats; to do this, your site needs some special configuration.
If you want a static site that does not have any blog-related elements, see our Creating a Site (Not a Blog) with Nikola guide.
$ nikola new_post -e

INFO: new_post: Your post's text is at: posts/my-first-blog-post.rst
When you’re done writing your post, you must rebuild your site to make it visible on your site. Run nikola build
again.
Note that the list of files is much shorter now: Nikola does fast, incremental rebuilds (courtesy of doit). Nikola built only the pages for this post, the indexes, the feeds, and the previous post (to add a Next post navigation button). All the demo pages and assets were left untouched, saving you time and resources (it does not have to work on building some larger things, and rsync
will not have to upload everything)

Run nikola serve --browser
to start the development server and open your site in a web browser. Press Ctrl+C to stop the server.
You can also use a server with automatic rebuilds by running nikola auto --browser
. Note that both servers should be used for development only; use other deployment solutions instead.
$ nikola serve --browser

INFO: serve: Opening http://<IP_ADDRESS>:8000/ in the default web browser...
nikola help
.conf.py
file to your liking.Input formats other than reStructuredText need some configuration, which has been described in The Nikola Handbook.
When you’re done exploring, you should remove the demo content before deploying it to your server. Remove the demo stories, welcome post, demo gallery and listing manually. Run nikola build
to make them disappear from the archives. Note that this is not enough; you need to delete the now orphaned files. Nikola can do it for you — run nikola check --clean-files
. Note that this command will delete all files in the output directory it does not know about, which can be dangerous — please back up your files or find out what will be deleted by using nikola orphans
.
Hint: files in the files/
directory are copied to the output directory as-is.
The development server (nikola serve
) should not be used outside of your local network. Instead, you should use a more serious web server. Nikola sites work on any web server which can host html files. You can use shared hosting, your own server (VPS/dedicated), GitHub Pages, or any other service that lets you host a website. For more details on deployment and related configuration, see the Deployment section in the Handbook.


GIRL 6 A film review by Andrew Hicks Copyright 1996 Andrew Hicks / Fatboy Productions
(1996) ** (out of four)
Ten years ago with SHE'S GOTTA HAVE IT, his first film, Spike Lee made a critically-acclaimed movie about a woman who wanted sex without commitment.  Played by Theresa Randle, the main character is a struggling actress who is trying to break into film but finds it impossible to get a decent role she doesn't have to take her clothes off for.
Apparently, Randle herself didn't have this conviction, for even in the scene in which Lee is trying to show the corruption of the movie business in taking tits over talent by having guest star Quentin Tarantino (as "QT," the hottest director in Hollywood) force Randle to expose her breasts in an audition, Lee has her appear topless. If this isn't the irony of ironies, I don't know what is.
Randle can't find a decent acting job, so she decides to settle for another type of acting -- phone sex.  Coincidentally, those seven things are all on Madonna's "To Do" list most days.
Randle eventually becomes Girl 6 at an upscale phone sex operation, where the operators are model-gorgeous women worth paying five bucks a minute for. Naomi Campbell is even one of the phone operators, seen wearing a t-shirt inscribed "Models Suck" (but let's leave what they have to do to get their contracts out of this). I'm pretty sure Lee's view of the women behind the phones isn't quite as accurate as the Aerosmith "Sweet Emotion" video, where the obese housewife with a crying baby on her shoulder did the chores while seducing horny guys on the phone.
Girl 6 finds she does a pretty good job of getting men off, from her dominatrix character April to girl-next-door Lovely. Soon she finds herself enjoying the power she has over men and the no-strings-attached thrill of it all. She slowly begins to withdraw from the real world and into the phone sex one, while her close friend Spike Lee and ex-husband-but-still-in-love-with-her Isaiah Washington grow more and more concerned about her.
Even though almost all the beautiful women working there are black (with the exception of the absolutely sexy Kristen Wilson), they're instructed to identify themselves as white unless someone requests another slice of the racial pie. But we're constantly reminded of Girl 6's race by her intrusive fantasies, where she pictures herself in the role of great black women through entertainment history, from Foxy Brown to Thelma on "The Jeffersons." (Seeing Spike Lee play George Jefferson is well worth the price of the video rental.)
Those scenes, and many others in this 108-minute movie, are needless padding that bring the movie down. GIRL 6 starts out a decent movie, and some of the early phone sex scenes are simultaneously hilarious and fascinating, but the movie crashes and burns fast, leaving a surreal climax and about fifteen boring minutes after that. The entire time, old and new Prince songs play constantly in the background, from opening credits to end credits. The last lyric before the fade-to-credits is something like, "Nothing good lasts forever," which describes GIRL 6 all too well.

Résumé
Wahahahahaha! My name is Megumin, the number one mage of Axel and one of the main characters of the KonoSuba series. After travelling to Axel Town, I had quickly gained a reputation as a crazy Explosion fanatic, thus parties refused to accept me before I met Kazuma and Aqua.
Personal life
-
Intro
I decided to become an Explosion mage after a busty older woman saved me with Explosion magic when I was young, and after this accident, I must cast Explosion once a day or die.
-
Weaknesses
I adore cute, or cool looking monsters, and don`t want to attack them, there is only thing that can change my mind is an fact that for this monster is given a lot of experience, or a spectacular title.
-
Childhood
While still attending school, Megumin would swindle food from Yunyun every day since her parents couldn't afford meals. Due to her exceptional academic performance, Megumin was able to graduate early. When she left to travel alone, Yunyun predicted she would be "at a loss due to a lack in the means of survival, begging a useless guy for a meal."

The magic of the explosion
I am little bit oBsEsSeD with explosive magic and wasting all my points on increasing damage and reducing the time to prepare spells. And since all points go to the attack, I do not have a “penny” to replenish the mana supply, because of which, after each cast, I cannot even move a finger.

Code is the backbone of everything you see on the internet, your phone, your laptop, etc. Almost anything you can think of that humans have created has some kind of code running in order to provide you that service or item.
Of course though, since there are so many different things that code is expected to do, there are many different programming languages that have unique pros and cons. There are over 200 different notable programming languages all of which have evolved to do many different things.
This page will take you through a small sampling of the languages available and what they are best for. If you want to skip to a certain language in particular then click on its name in the sidebar.
C is one of the oldest commonly used programming languages and is the basis for lots of common programming languages used today such as Java, Javascript, and C#. It is usually up to a programmer to chose whether they want to learn C or just skip to C++ since it is more advanced. Some say that C provides a useful foundation whereas others think that it isn't worth it if you go on to learn C++.
C can be used across platforms like mobile, desktop, and embedded. It is probably worth to learn either C or C++ as they are the language used for a lot of the operating systems and file systems. A drawback of C is that because it is so old and the syntax so complex, it really can't be used to solve complex real world problems like other languages can.
//This program prints "Hello World!" using C
int main() {
printf("Hello, World!");
return 0;
}
C++ is obviously an offshot of C and therefore has a lot of the same functionalities and drawbacks that C has with some improvements. C++ is slightly easier, though still relatively difficult, to learn for a beginner and it is one of the worlds most popular languages. Though C++ will likely prove to be a challenge to learn for someone who has never coded before.
What companies use C++:
HTML, also known as HyperText Markup Language, is a very easy language to learn since it's syntax is very easy to pick up. This programming language is used almost exclusively used to make websites and isn't very useful for doing anything else. Every website you visit on the internet uses HTML in order to render what the developer wants you to see. HTML by itself does not look very appealing and usually you will here of something called CSS alongside it.
CSS, also known as Cascading Style Sheets, is the language that is used to make websites look a lot prettier than HTML is capable of doing. This is responsible for changing the style of the webpage, the layout, the font, the color, and endless of other things. There is a lot of really interesting things a person can do using CSS alongside HTML.
HTML is easy as you only need to encase the words "Hello World!" in h1 tags as depicted below:
Hello World
Java is a very ubiquitous programming language in the world today as it is an easy-to-understand language (around the intermediate level) that is capable of doing a ton of different things over various different platforms. This is largely because Java is an object-oriented programming language and code can be easy reused whenever needed.
Because Java has such a large community there is a ton of support and knowledge for new learners to find. It is a good language to start on because although it is slightly more diffiuclt than other languages, it allows you to start thinking like a programmer and introduces you to technical jargon.
//This program prints "Hello World!" using Java
class HelloWorld {
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println("Hello, World!");
}
}
JavaScript is an extremely popular language and can be used in various different places to do various different things. It's extreme popularity means that it is also worth learning especially because it is relatively simply to learn. Javascript can also be used in web design in order to create more interactive designs and displays.
Of course JavaScript does have a few drawbacks, one of the main ones being that it can exploited because the code is run on the client side and therefore doesn't have as much protection as a company owned server system would have.
Companies that use Javascript:
Perl is a programming language that is similar to C and C++, so any knowledge of those will make learning Perl easier. It also takes a lot of the best parts of a ton of different other programming languages. Perl is also more consise than code in C and C++ which makes it easier to debug and read code. It is most often used in web development or to process text files and strings due to its text-processing power. Perl is still a language that is being used by quite a few programmers and if it interests you, it would likely be worth learning.
Companies that use Perl:
PHP was created in 1990 and is an open-source programming language. PHP is mostly used for server-side web development and most people hoping to become web developers should learn this language as it is used in around 80% of the websites currently on the Internet. It is important to keep in mind though that while PHP is used my many websites, it is becoming used less and less.
Some of the general issues that plague PHP are that it is not very good at handling errors that it may run into, in certain situations it isn't very secure, and it isn't well suited for larger applications as it can't really handle everything those sort of systems require.
Companies that use PHP:
- Facebook
- Wikipedia
- Wordpress
Python is one of the simplest programming languages to learn. It is capable of doing lots of things, but unlike many other programming languages, it uses simplified syntax which is easier for a beginner to understand. Of course the benefit of it being easier to understand comes with the drawback of it having a slower runtime which may not be ideal for certain situations.
Python is also an extremely useful language not only because it is easy to learn, but because there are also a lot of jobs that use it. It can be used in various fields such as data science or AI just to list a few. In the fields like the ones previously listed, Python is the most useful because of its various packages and libraries which make doing certain things a lot less labor intensive on the programmer.
# This program prints Hello, world! using Python
print('Hello, world!')
Ruby is a relatively easy language to learn and this ease is why it and Ruby on Rails is one of the favorite programming languages of web developers. Ruby is also very good for beginners because it has a reputation for being one of the friendliest and most helpful programming communities.
Ruby is a language used for web development and is steadily growing in popularity among the programming community. One thing that Ruby does that not many other language do is enforce good programming style.
Companies that use Ruby:
Scala takes a lot of its features from Java while also adding its own twist on it. It is also so related to Java that you can actually program Java at some points in Scala programs and have it still function normally. Scala is also pretty good at ensuring that a lot of bugs never have the chance to occur. Scala is also probably not going away anytime soon as there is nothing that can do exactly what it can to such a scale at the moment, so as far as learning languages go, Scala is a good bet.
Companies that use Scala:
Swift was developed by Apple in 2014 in order to make it easier to develop apps. It is relatively easy for a person to learn even if they have no program experience, but sometimes the syntax can be off-puting. Although that shouldn't be too much of a problem with all of the tutorials available on the internet which can make it a lot easier to problem shoot.
Swift is generally a programming language that runs very quickly. Some of the downsides of Swift include that it is a relatively new langauge and therefore isn't very compatible with other tools and that it is really limited to only developing apps for the iOS store.
// This prints "Hello, World!" using Swift
print("Hello, World!")

Science Meets Parliament
22 Aug 2016 BlagThis blog post is a repost from the Statistical Society of Australia Newsletter.
In February I was lucky to receive funding from SSA to attend the two-day event Science Meets Parliament, held in Canberra. Science Meets parliament brings together 200 scientists to learn about research communication, the role of research in policy, and how to engage a politician. We heard from speakers such as Professor Ian Chubb, Professor Brian Schmidt, Paul Bonjiorno, Alison Carabine, Professor Emily Banks, and Dr. Subho Banerjee, and Senator Kim Carr.
Day one consisted of panel discussions on how to use science to shape policy, the National Innovation and Science Agenda, and how to deliver your science in 60 seconds. A Gala dinner was held that evening and scientists got to share a meal with the attending politicians. Day two was the most valuable of the event, as we had the opportunity to have a face to face meeting with a politician. On day two, there were also panel discussions with politicians and scientists on how science and politicians mix in the real world. Participants also had the option to attend the National Press Club, and Question Time in the House of Representative or the Senate.
The event was opened by Nobel prize winner Professor Brian Schmidt in great style by taking a selfie of himself in front of the audience. I asked him what advice he would give to himself when he was in his PhD. He said:
Patience, and positivity: Patience, because good things don’t come all at once, and you need to wait for them sometimes. Positivity, because if you stay positive, it is the best possible outcome. Always.
Very wise words, from a very good source.
Another personal highlight was the session on ‘How to communicate science in 60 seconds’. Giving three steps for telling a story: “And”, “But”, “And therefore”.
A template might look like the following:
- Here’s all the things we know and that lead to this and this
- but we still need to know x, y, x.
- Therefore we need to do ABC
On the second day I met with the Member of Parliament for Griffith, Terri Butler. With me was Inge Koch from AMSI and Alfonso Garcia-Bennett from the Centre for Nanoscale BioPhotonics. This was my first time meeting a elected member of parliament face to face. I was struck by the breadth of Terri’s knowledge of issues relevant to the residence of Griffith, and was again reminded that whilst we often hear negative things about politicians in the media, they are intelligent, hard working people who care about their community. I’ve since emailed Terri a few times and have received replies shortly afterwards. I would highly recommend getting in touch with your local member.
I first got into research to help bridge the gap between policy and statistics, so that I could have some sort of meaningful positive impact on the world around me. My knowledge of statistics is constantly growing, but my knowledge of policy and politics is much more limited. Science Meets Parliament taught me how to engage politicians and policy makers, explained the role media plays in both science and politics, provided me with practical tools for evocatively delivering my research, and gave me the opportunity to engage in an excellent networking opportunity. I highly recommend attending Science Meets Parliament, it was an incredibly well run event, and I would absolutely attend again. Thank you to the SSA for providing me with this great opportunity!
There was a lot of fantastic advice given over the two days. I have condensed my thoughts and notes down into a short list below.
Nick’s Hot Tips On Politics, Science, Media, and Policy
On Politicians
- Never assume anything when talking to a politician.
- Know the issues that the politician thinks are important or challenging.
- A politician’s job is stressful, make meeting with them a positive experience.

- Email your local member to stay in touch about issues important to you.
- Build the momentum when getting involved with politicians. Email straight after meeting, again later that week, and be sure to stay in touch.
- If you want to engage politicians and create change, respectfully engaging your local member is one of the best approaches.
- Reaching out to your local member doesn’t necessarily allign you with their political party; you are reaching out to someone who is employed to help those in their electorate.
On Communication and Media
- Science isn’t over until it’s communicated
- Tell a story with your research. You want people to walk away with one critical piece of information.
- Fight the temptation to say “I’m not an expert on that topic”. You might not be the leading expert in the world, but you are often the leading expert in the room. You can still give your professional opinion.
- As a scientist , don’t wait for media to engage with you. Actively engage and seek out media coverage
On Policy and Change
- If you want to be involved with policy, stay engaged with the policy process, and ask your local member how to get started doing this.
- Changes happen when politicians, departments, and advisors converge on a topic.
- Big change from science takes three to tango: Government, university, and business. They all need to work together and agree on an idea.

Object oriented programming (OOP) has the following key parts
a function is a class in javascript. you can use either function declaration or function expression, either one will work.
function Person(){}
//or
var Person = function(){}
if you want to have a property, u have to add the property to
this
. Similarly, if you want to have a method on the
object, you will add that to this
object as well. In the
following code, we have a property called name
and a
method sayHi
function Person(name){
this.name = name;
this.sayHi = function(){
return 'Hi from ' + this.name;
}
}
to create an instance of the object, you need to use new
var shelly = new Person('Sheldon Cooper');
var amy = new Person('Amy Farrah Fowler');
shelly.sayHi(); //"Hi from Sheldon Cooper"
amy.sayHi(); //"Hi from Amy Farrah Fowler"
This works if you create five objects. However, every single object has it's own sayHi method which is not memory efficient if you create one hundred object. We have to use inheritance in similar case
prototype if you add the method to the prototype object of your class, then the method will be maintained at a higher level of the inheritance.
function Person(name){
this.name = name;
}
Person.prototype.sayHi = function(){
return 'Hi from '+ this.name;
}
You can test that sayHi is not a method on the constructed object by
using hasOwnProperty
var shelly = new Person('Sheldon Cooper');
shelly.hasOwnProperty('sayHi'); //false
Even if you add a method to the prototype object after creating the object, it will also be inherited.
Person.prototype.sayBye = function(){
return 'Good bye from '+ this.name;
}
shelly.sayBye(); //"Good bye from Sheldon Cooper"
If you want to inherit directly from an object, you can use
object.create
function Dad(name){
this.name = name;
this.whoIsYourDad = function(){
return this.name;
}
}
var son =
//internally it works
Object.create = function(o) {
function F() {}
F.prototype = o;
return new F();
};
The abstract modifier indicates that the thing being modified has a missing or incomplete implementation. The abstract modifier can be used with classes, methods, properties, indexers, and events. Use the abstract modifier in a class declaration to indicate that a class is intended only to be a base class of other classes. Members marked as abstract, or included in an abstract class, must be implemented by classes that derive from the abstract class.

IN THE INCOME TAX APPELLATE TRIBUNAL "J", BENCH MUMBAI BEFORE SHRI R.C.SHARMA, AM & SHRI SANDEEP GOSAIN, JM ITA No.3598/Mum/2015 (Assessment Year :2006-07) M/s. Vinyl Chemicals (India) Vs. DCIT CIR 3(3), Mumbai Ltd., 7th Floor, Regent Chambers, Nariman Point, Mumbai - 400 021 PAN/GIR No. AAACV2410Q Appellant) .. Respondent) Assessee by Shri Ketan Panchmia Revenue by Shri Arju Garodia Date of Hearing 21/08/2017 Date of Pronouncement 23/10/2017 आदे श / O R D E R PER R.C.SHARMA (A.M): This is an appeal filed by the assessee against the order of CIT(A)- 8, Mumbai dated 18/02/2015 for the Assessment Year 2006-07 in the matter of imposition of penalty u/s.271(1)(c) of the IT Act. 2. Rival contentions have been heard and record perused. Facts in brief are that the assessee company filed its return of income for A.Y.2006-07 on 23rd November 2006 declaring a loss of Rs.1,29,84,436/- the AO completed the assessment u/s.143(3) on 30th October, 2008 determining the total loss at Rs.93,87,792/- after making the following additions / disallowances: i. Depreciation @30% on oil tankers : Rs.28,472/- ii. Unutilised Modvat Credit : Rs.18,43,077/- 2 ITA No.3598/Mum/2015 M/s. Vinyle Chemicals (India) Ltd., iii. Depreciation @80% on coal fire boiler : Rs.4,78,423/- iv. Depreciation @80% on effluent treatment Point : Rs.8,43,322/- ===========
Total Rs.31,93,294/- ===========
3. The AO observed that in the appeal filed by the assessee against the order passed by the AO, the CIT(A) has confirmed the additions / disallowances on account of depreciation but deleted addition made on account of unutilized Modvat of Rs.18,43,077/-. The assessee submitted that it had claimed depreciation @80% on coal fire boiler and affluent treatment plant in good faith as has been done in earlier years, which has been allowed by the Department.
4. The disallowance of depreciation so made was confirmed by the CIT(A), however, assessee did not file further appeal before the Tribunal and accepted the same in view of the huge carry forward losses and even after reduction in depreciation there remains to be loss.
5. With regard to the disallowance of depreciation, AO also levied penalty u/s.271(1)(c) which was confirmed by the CIT(A) and assessee is now in further appeal before us.
6. We have considered rival contentions and carefully gone through the orders of the authorities below and found from record that assessee has claimed depreciation in respect of the above assets at the very same rate at which it has claimed depreciation in earlier years and which has also been accepted by the department. With regard to depreciation @30% on Oil Tankers, the assessee was claiming depreciation at 30% on WDV of 3 ITA No.3598/Mum/2015 M/s. Vinyle Chemicals (India) Ltd., Oil Tankers based on the entry D-9 in old Appendix -1 for depreciation which reads as "Motor Buses and Motor Lorries other than those used in a business of running them on hire." However in the subsequent Appendix
-1, this entry is not there. These tankers were acquired before 1990 and assessee has been claiming depreciation @ 30% on oil tankers all these years, which was accepted by the Assessing Officers all these years. On the basis of earlier claims, the assessee claimed the depreciation in this year also in good faith. When the AO pointed out this to the assessee, it was accepted and no appeal was filed on this issue. The assessee simply followed the action taken in earlier years. There was no ulterior motive or intentional motive in claiming more depreciation.
7. With regard to depreciation @ 80% on Coal Fired boiler at Rs.4,78,423/- the assessee has been claiming the depreciation at the above rate in earlier years as well as in the subsequent years. In para 7.3 the A.O. has mentioned that " The assessee did not furnish any evidence to show that the assets purchased were coal fired boilers on which deduction @ 80% is allowable. The assessee simply furnished a letter of Asstt Manager of M/s Thermax Ltd addressed to assessee. In the said letter it is written that on boiler model CPF 100A depreciation @ 100% is allowable as it is energy saving device."
8. We found that the said letter is written by the Asstt Manager of a Company who are manufacturers of the machinery used in coal fired plants and therefore an authority to say that the coal fired boiler is an 4 ITA No.3598/Mum/2015 M/s. Vinyle Chemicals (India) Ltd., energy saving device. In view of these facts we observe that the A.O failed to appreciate the evidence furnished before him in right spirit. The letter of Asstt Manager, Thermax Ltd is sufficient proof to establish that the boiler is an energy saving device. There is bill for purchase of machinery and bill for constructing coal bunker foundation for installing coal fired boiler. What further evidence is required? The A.O. did not ask for specific evidence in support of claim of depreciation. With regard to depreciation on effluent treatment plant @80% at Rs.12,97,418/-, we found that assessee had installed effluent treatment plant in its manufacturing facilities as required by Maharashtra Pollution Control Board in earlier years and had claimed depreciation on WDV of such assets during the year. Upon making an application to the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board and before starting manufacture of chemical products, the Maharashtra Pollution Control Board granted consent to operate u/s 26 of the Water (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1974 & u/s section 21 of the Air (Prevention & Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 and authorization/Renewal of Authorisation under Rule 5 of the Hazarduous Wastes (Management & Handling ) Rules 1989 and Amendment Rules, vide their consent letter.
9. It would be observed that the terms & conditions mentioned in the above letter is not a brochure containing rules and regulations but a consent letter issued to the assessee for observing the pollution control rules in a chemical factory. Again there was no addition during the year. 5
ITA No.3598/Mum/2015 M/s. Vinyle Chemicals (India) Ltd., Addition of such assets were done in 2004-05 and depreciation @ 80 % was claimed by the assessee and allowed by the assessing officer. In the year under appeal it was only WDV on which depreciation was claimed.
10. Thus, it is clear from the above that merely because of decline of part claim of depreciation, which was allowed by department itself in earlier year, the AO has levied the penalty. Since the assessee had huge losses in the year under consideration and in earlier year as well as in the subsequent years, no appeal was filed to the Tribunal. We found that the assessee had not concealed any facts relating to income.
11. For levying of penalty u/s. 271 (1) (c) there must be concealment of income. In the case of M/s Jyothy Laboratories Limited Vs DCIT (ITA No. 5447/Mum/05), the Mumbai Tribunal has held that where the assessee has claimed expenditure after putting all particulars on record and after interpreting section and using the favorable decision in support of same, the assessee cannot be said to have furnished inaccurate particulars or concealed particulars of income and hence, penalty was deleted. This decision was rendered after considering the decision of Hon'ble Supreme Court in the case of Union of India & Ors. V. Dharmendra Textile Processors & Ors. (306 ITR 277) (SC).
12. Hon'ble Bombay High Court in the case of Shivlal Desai & Sons 114 ITR 388 has categorically observed that merely there are certain additions / disallowance in the assessment proceedings, it will not bring in its wake the levy of penalty. Further, the Hon'ble Punjab & Haryana High Court in 6 ITA No.3598/Mum/2015 M/s. Vinyle Chemicals (India) Ltd., case of CIT Vs. Ajaib Singh & Co. (170 CTR 489) has held that merely because certain expenses claimed by the assessee has been disallowed it does not mean that the assessee has furnished incorrect particulars of its income.
13. Further, in the decision of Hon'ble Calcutta High Court in Burmah- Shell Oil Storage and Distribution Co. of India Ltd. Vs. ITO (112 ITR
592) wherein it has been held that the rejection of the contention raised by the Assessee cannot lead to the conclusion that there has been concealment of particulars of income or furnishing of inaccurate particulars thereof by the Assessee.
14. The Bombay High Court in the case of Sesa Resources Ltd vs ACIY(38 taxmann.com) has held as under :
"The appellant had claimed a deduction u/s 10B of the Act. The appellant, however, was denied the same. The orders in this regard have attained finality. The question is, whether merely on account thereof the appellant is liable for penalty. There is no dispute that the appellant disclosed all the facts. The appellant did not conceal any facts. Based on the disclosed material, the appellant sought the deduction which was denied on the ground that it was not entitled to the same as a matter of law. The Tribunal was in error in holding that merely because the claim for deduction was denied the appellant is liable to pay the penalty."
15. In the case of Reliance Petro Products 322 ITR 158 Hon'ble Supreme Court held that "submitting an incorrect claim for expenditure would amount to giving inaccurate particulars of such income" is not correct. By no stretch of imagination can the making of an incorrect claim in law tantamount to furnishing inaccurate particulars. A mere making of the claim, which is not sustainable in law, by itself, will not amount to 7 ITA No.3598/Mum/2015 M/s. Vinyle Chemicals (India) Ltd., furnishing inaccurate particulars regarding the income of the assessee. If the contention of the Revenue is accepted then in case of every Return where the claim made is not accepted by the AO for any reason, the assessee will invite penalty u/s 271(l)(c). That is clearly not the intendment of the Legislature."
16. In view of the above discussion, we do not find any merit in the action of the AO for levying penalty for part disallowance of claim of depreciation.
17. In the result, appeal of assessee is allowed in terms indicated hereinabove.

At the end of January, I had the opportunity to visit New Orleans for the CheckPoint CPX 360 annual conference. This conference is a chance for CheckPoint to discuss the new and upcoming events and products that they will be releasing this calendar year.
This conference, which was my first work trip, was an incredible experience. I got to visit the amazing city and see the history and the life of the city at night. During the day were in the main convention center learning about the up an coming advances in the Information Security world.
CheckPoint discussed the new support system that they are rolling out, focusing on the clients and the customers, while expanding their sales and support teams. With this new setup, CheckPoint is hoping to be able to not only appease their current customers, but also gain new ones with their better support and more competitive pricing.
A big part of the conference was the 'Expo' where vendors were able to display and showcase their features and applications that can work with, and improve a CheckPoint firewall. There were vendors from every walk of technology, from hardware to software, there to show what their company can offer.
All in all this conference was an amazing experience where I was able to learn about the new CheckPoint programs as well as the technology and services that go along with it. This was undeniably an amazing first business trip.

Large variations in insolation experienced by circumbinary planets raise the question of the habitability of such planets. Here, the authors show that while the changing insolation does not radically affect habitability, it does impact on the planet's climate and on the interpretation of future observations.


Intelligence
Factor Analysis
“A score on the new form and a score on the reference form are equivalent in a group of test takers if they represent the same relative position in the group.”
The simplest form of equating involves adjusting the scores by the difference in means between the reference and new forms
Substraction of values if the new form is easier
Addition of values if the new form is harder
Suppose the target population's mean on the reference form was 80 and their mean on the new form was 85.
We need to adjust based on how high or low a test taker's score is from the mean
What might we consider doing?
“ A score on the new form and a score on the reference form are equivalent in a group of test takers if they are the same number of standard deviations above or below the mean of the group. ”
Linear equating a harder new form (Livingston, 2014)
Let NF stand for a score on the new form and RF a score on the reference form
$$ \frac{RF - \bar{RF}}{sd(RF)} = \frac{NF - \bar{NF}}{sd(NF)} $$What do these formulas look like?
Note, the adjusted NF score is very unlikely to ever be a whole number
| Form | Mean | Standard Deviation |
| Reference | 82 | 15 |
| New | 79 | 14 |
If someone scored an 80 on the new form, what should there reference form score be?
# Do the math in R and save it as RF
RF <- (15 / 14) * 80 + 82 - (15 / 14) * 79
# Print RF
RF
[1] 83.07143
Does 83.07413 seem sensible?
A very high or very low score can equate to a score outside of the range on the reference form
Depends heavily on the group of test takers (e.g. are they strong test takers? weak test takers?)
“To equate scores on the new form to scores on the reference form in a group of test takers, transform each score on the new form to the score on the reference form that has the same percentile rank in that group.”
15th percentile of the adjusted test form corresponds (as much as possible) to 15th percentile on the reference form and so on
Adjusted scores will all fall within the range of possible scores on the reference form
The steepness of the slope of the curve can vary
Will result in the adjusted test scores having a similar distribution to the reference form
Will be identical to linear equating when the distribution of scores on the new form has the same shape as the distribution of the scores on the reference form
Equating relationship is bound by the highest and lowest observed score
On a difficult test, the highest possible raw score might not be observed
Future administration could result in a higher score being observed
Smoothing may help with this
Can use interpolation to calculate unobserved raw score
What is intelligence?
What makes someone intelligent?
There is no consensus on what intelligence is
There is no single instrument to measure intelligence
To Sternberg's public, intelligence means
"Reasons logically and well"
"Reads widely"
"Displays common sense"
"Keeps an open mind"
"Reads with high comprehensions"
Problem-solving ability
Verbal ability
Social competence
Galton - possessing great sensory (hearing, visual) abilities
Binet - intelligence involves reasoning, judgment, memory, and abstraction and these cannot be seperated
Wechsler - intelligence is an aggregate capacity made of measurable, qualitatively different abilities that interact in a complex, non-additive fashion
Wechsler - measurement of intelligence affected by nonintellective factors
Piaget - evolving biological adaption to the world
Spearman (1927), existence of a general ability factor, g and specific factors, s
Intelligence tests with high correlations possess high g
Group factors common to a group of activities but not g
Thurstone purposed a 7 factor structure of intelligence but could not escape g
Gardner adds interpersonal (working with others) and intrapersonal (working with yourself)
Cattell proposed a theory of intelligence that consists of crystallized and fluid intelligence
crystallized intelligence, Gc, ability to use skills, experience, & knowledge (e.g. retrieving and applying information)
fluid intelligence, Gf, capacity for solving novel problems
Horn added additional factors Gs
Carroll proposed a 3 layered hierarchical view with g on the top, then factors similar to Cattell's and Horn's, and specific factors depending on the second-level factors
McGrew and colleagues tried to reconcile these approaches
Proposed a modified Carroll model without a g
Omission of g based on the lack of utility for their needs
McGrew calls for adoption of the CHC model and made data available here
There are 10 broad-stratum abilities
fluid, crystallized, quantitative knowledge, reading/writing ability, short-term memory, visual processing, auditory processing, long-term storage/retrieval, processing speed (perform automatic cognitive tasks, couple minutes), and decision time/speed (reaction time, couple seconds)
There are 70 narrow-stratum abilities
Rather than using factor analysis to derive "what" intelligence is, examine how information is processed
simultaneous processing, integration at once
successive processing, sequential integration
Extant tests do not take into account problem solving strategy
Sternberg proposed successful intelligence, how well we adapt, share, shape, select environments that confirm to personal and societal success
Nature vs. nurture
Stability
Flynn effect - rise in intelligence test scores expected to occur on a normed intelligence test from the date the test was first normed.
Personality \(\equiv\) Intelligence
Gender differences?
Family effects starting in the womb?
Cultural considerations? Culture-loading and creation of culture-fair tests
Full scale IQ from ten subtests
Subtest scores can be combined to get other composite scores (e.g. verbal score)
Standardized for the USA population aged 2 to 85
Manual reports high internal consistency, test-restest, and inter-rater reliability (though items with low reliability were pruned)
Criterion-Related VE from concurrent and predictive data
Use in a clinical population and factor structure unclear
Age-appropriate tests for very young children, children, adults
All originally used a verbal, performance, and FSIQ, now only young children uses V and P scales
Many subtests and items specific just to Weschler's tests (Table 10 - 3)
Consists of core subtest and supplementals used to extract clinical information
Short forms exist, but discouraged
Good psychometric properties
Both purport to measure intelligence
Highly correlated, differ by amount of g
Both work within the CHC model
Both represent gold standard
Different factor structures and definitions of intelligence
Kaufman tests focus on processing not structure
USA army developed tests for recruits in WWI
Alpha, those who could read, Beta, those who couldn't
Assigned duty and service based on performance
Tests used in post-war because they were much cheaper
Later, Army General Cliassification Test and Armed Service Vocational Aptitute Battery
Also used in the schools in the USA for placement (not as much now)
